Chapter 89: Chapter 89

ABUJA, NIGERIA.

Discreetly and inconspicuously, the woman in black coat walked around the airport with her small luggage in search of a cab in the busy streets of Abuja. Her hand is closing her stomach while the other held onto the luggage that seems to hold her life. She hailed more than three cabs already but none were willing to stop because of God knows what, she didn't give up. They didn't stop because they do not know who she is, she will give them that excuse. Her father rules the country, but she is treated like a dirt underneath their feet? Joke's on them then!

When one finally stopped, she told him to drive straight to Asokoro even without the knowledge of why she wants to be there. She won't go to her father's villa for by now, he's already known what she's done and won't forgive her for stealing such hefty amount of money without his knowledge, not him for now. She can't wait to go and deal with Mika'il, he's messed with the wrong person he shouldn't have thought about glaring at even in the dark. Didn't he see just how she could stoop to any level for something she wants?

Doesn't he know that her love for him ran deeper than he thought? Does he think she will be willing to give him up just after her cover is blown? Hell no man, she is the President's daughter and no one, no one will be able to keep her away from what she wants. Besides, her father motivated her greatly during her wedding to never stop chasing after what she wants, she won't stop now. Mika'il is who she wants, the love of her life, her soul, the king to her heart and the father to her child. This is just the beginning of them in Nigeria, she will make sure of that.

Bushra Amani is out of the picture, for good which is what she's been aiming for and her goal is set. She won't have to worry about that woman anymore, she is a closed chapter in their lives that need not to be reopened or wounds won't be healed. The main thing now she will have to do is close each bad trail she's left behind her then work on getting back her husband. The bad trail of deaths she has orchestrated, drugs supply and many other things that can send her to jail. Jail? Whoa, where did that thought even came from? Is she high on drugs too now like her husband? Because she heard when there is connection, it affects both parties. Ha, that means her love for Mika'il is deep. Cue the sadistic smile that took over her swollen lips, pregnancy.

She has her lies well planned already. She will lie that she didn't do any of those intentionally and someone drugged them both. She will go to any extent to be free of all complaints so their life won't be ruined. They will live a happy life once she gives birth to her baby girl, their baby girl. That will be enough to stop the family from making grievous mistake they will regret forever. Even if her lies get blown out, she has a plan B. What is her name again? Yes, Zara Buhari Yakasai, the most malevolent being to ever exist. She knows that herself and it gives her thrills alongside chills of just how bad she can be for something or someone she loves.

She abandoned her family for that person only for him to turn against her the moment his memories rushed back. People can be really ungrateful!

She won't be sent to jail till after she gives birth and nurse her baby for a while, that is when she gets her ass in jail so before then, she has planned some more to spice up her life. Zara Buhari Yakasai won't go to jail, she'd changed her name if that ever happens. With that new found determination, she gave the cab driver the direction to her in-laws house for they need to be paid a visit. They should see how their grandchild is growing inside her womb, how their son impregnated her so lovingly.

She didn't notice the two figures hound behind her in a car trying to make sure she is never out of their sights. They are conversing through their phones, giving instructions on what is going to happen next. After finding out where she is going, they were quick to make calls to have it more arranged and settled. No plan of theirs should be blown away just like that, it took them two days to plot out this scheme of taking her down. The hard headed man won't be able to stop them too.

Upon her arrival, she paid the cab driver with some naira changes she found in her wallet and took her luggage, hastened inside the house. She stopped at the front door, hundred percent sure the people inside there know that she has arrived. Nothing has changed about the house except the tightened security, she could understand why and much more CCTV cameras facing her. Oh, so the man wants to keep his family secured with more CCTV cameras? Ah, how can he do that when his daughter in-law is the nefarious one?

Poor Alhaji Malik Masari.

"She is here, act normal and don't make her suspect much. Just show her you know everything she did and you still want to stay with her for the sake of your child. Tell her all she did is a secret to everyone but you. Understand?" Murad instructed Mika'il through the phone because the guy has been acting all tough since they told him how they plan to catch Zara. They won't do that till she gives birth first and that is any moment from then.

"You think I can do that? She has hands in my mother's death, killed many people to conquer me and... separated me from my wife, I can't." He gnashed his teeth again, infuriated by his friends, they now act like his enemies for real. They didn't give him any hug or warm welcome like they usually do, he get why.

"Don't bring back this conversation, Mika'il. You married her willingly, no one forced you to but you did anyway. Now, deal with the consequences." Murad scolded again, sitting inside a car outside the Masari mansion and watching Zara gazing cunningly at the house. The woman will never change, he is sure of that.

"You don't have to keep reminding me of my mistake. I will do it but this whole thing should better end up fast or my façade will drop." He hung up the phone, waited with a baited breath for Zara to come through the door, it is like knowing peril is about to take you down.

He heard the doorbell, then a short maid made her way to open the door for her. She bowed down at her but Zara didn't even give her another glance, instead, sauntered into the house like she owns it. He didn't say anything to acknowledge that she is there or he knows she has arrived. He is the only one in the living room as planned, staring at an album of him with his mother. That is how they planned it, so she won't think his whole memories are back and will help play the trick with him. This way, she will feed him more lies that will be recorded.

"Baby." She called in what should be a seductive voice, but it only heightened his wrath. How could a woman be so sly?

"Z-zara? What a-are you doing here?" He should definitely be given the award of most greatest actor. The way he stuttered and squatted back in surprise, she is going to fall for his acts like he did hers. He's been with her for long, he learned a thing or two.

"My husband decided to ditch me in Seoul and came here, what do you think I should do?" She pouted her lips, sat down close to him on the floor like a good wife. Ha, the Mika'il she has drugged would have believed that innocent look in second but not him, the real him.

"I didn't ditch you." He sighed, raking his hand through his growing hair before saying some more, "I just came here for answers and still, no one is willing to give me. I was dead to them, both of us were. I don't want to burden you with this, let's have our baby girl first then deal with them, huh?" He smiled, wrapping his arms around her shoulder and darn, she fell for it. He has no doubt she did.

She bite down on her lower lip, happy that no one spilled the beans nor try to dig out her rottenness. She snuggled against him, not seeing the reaction he was giving her relating to pure disgust. How could she come back to his home after all she has done? She is confidently snuggled up against him like she isn't a murderer with many people's blood in hand. They have all the solid proofs to have her in jail, it is there with the police force, the president and Bar. Abubakar Sadiq Danbazau. Nowhere she goes will she find safety, she is in for it.

"Yes, thanks for your concern, baby. But where are the people of the house? I can see no one here." She craned her neck left and right waiting to see that arrogant business woman or the other skinny girl or Bushra's husband. The merriment that settled in her stomach at the realisation of Bushra being married to Amir is too thrilling. She would want to see Mika'il's reaction to the news when his memories are back.

"It's only my father and his new wife here. Kauthar is married so is Amir and Afrah went back to school." He kissed her forehead again, just to assure her that Amir being married didn't affect him because he doesn't remember everything so far.

If only she knows how badly he wants to push her body away from his and beat her black and blue for separating him with his beloved, she wouldn't have asked anything. His hands are in fist, tightly clenched leaving trails of crescents in his palms. If he let those fists open, he won't be sure where his hand will land and he don't want to hurt his baby. The soldiers instructing him found out she is nine months pregnant, she can give birth at any minute. He was happy, he could get rid of her and get his child.

Two birds with one stone!

He's given up on Bushra Amani, the woman never looked at him in the eyes after the countless meetings they've had for the past two days. Everyone is working together to bring Zara down but whenever she sees him, she cling onto Amir like her second skin. He would swallow all that jealousy and look away like a man. Sometimes, he would stand up ready to fight Amir when Kauthar or his father will shot him a glance that will have him flopping down on the couch. It is frustrating, heart breaking and tormenting watching them.

No one is talking about their marriage, it was quite. Whoever thinks Amir will divorce Bushra is in for it, the guy will never do that even if she demand that he does. Mika'il won't be sure if he will give up completely because for some odd reasons, his love for her keep blossoming everyday. Whenever he sees her, his heart will spike up or hears her voice too. His daughter still didn't recognise him, that shattered him whole. It's like he was a chapter they closed long before and never wish to reopen it.

Anaan calls Amir Dada!

Fucking hell! When Mika'il heard her calling him that, he lose all rational thinking and jerk Amir's collar. How dare he take his wife and daughter away from him? He threw the first punch but didn't get to land another when the men in the room seized his movement. He was hysterical, calling Amir names causing his daughter to cry and his ex wife to go to his aid. He watched as Bushra cleaned Amir's wound benignly, as if she don't want to hurt him some more.

His father demand that they leave the house immediately but not before she gave a this look that sent chills down his spine. That was the first time their eyes met and it wasn't pleasant, not at all. Her eyes were blazing with fire, wrath, fury, rage and a warning of the danger about to befall him if he touches her husband again. That is the sole reason why he wants to give up, he doesn't want to do that. Maybe, just maybe, after a few months, she will realise how much she still loves him and rush back to him.

But is that possible with the phase everything is going on? She hates the mere sight of him, he can't see that happening anytime soon.

Zara really ruined his life for good!

-

Two weeks passed in a blur, Zara never saw anyone of the people she has been anticipating to see. None of them graced them with their presence except for her father in-law and his new wife. She wasn't surprised that he got remarried, she knew about it even before he does and it doesn't even matter if he remarries or not. The new wife is being so kind to her, she accepted that kindness but still is a bitch. Her father in-law told her he banned them from coming till Mika'il regains his memory so they can find out what happened. She tried feeding him the drugs again but Mika'il was smarter, he never ate anything she gave him or even see, he eats outside.

The woman keep on trying but failing, she thought it was working though. She is both happy and disheartened that she won't see Bushra's face while being wrapped in their once husband's arm. She want to rub salt to the wound but then again, from the stories she has been getting from Badriyah, it looks like the couple are now smitten with each other. Well, serves them right for she don't want to dirty her hands no more, that is enough. Now is time for them to relax, enjoy and become a family together, just that and nothing more.

Her father also didn't contact her and she is sure he knew about her being alive and back in Nigeria. She is suspecting that he is giving her the silent treatment so she allowed him to do what he wants while she arch her own plan. Her father will soften as soon as he sees his grandchild, she is not that much worried about him for now. They can talk after she gives birth but for now, everyone should just focus on what is better for them. Her father needs the space too, he was under pressure for that one billion she stole. Oh yes, she saw the news too but he got it all covered up like she thought he would.

And then the most surprising thing she came back to find is, Hanan married to Murad! The girl never stopped complaining about him ever since their marriage when he glared at her. She said she wanted to remove his eyes, choke his face down the toilet and flush it and so much more but she got married to him? Did they all forgot about them after they died and moved on with their lives? For the Hanan she knew would still be jealous of her sister and not marry into the family they have spent more than a year hating but no, she is happily married to that young soldier.

She hasn't seen Hanan neither had she contacted her too. If it's space they want to gulp in the fact that she is alive, she will give them as much as they want. She knew they won't be able to resist or ignore her after she gives birth, they will all rush to see the baby and come to her aid. Oh, this baby will bring back so many dead relationships, she can't wait for her to come out. She has totally forgotten about the name she wanted to give her baby, Mika'il once did.

He suggested Bushra! She couldn't believe it and vividly remember what happened then, it was after they found out about the baby's gender.

"What name do you suggest we give her?" Zara questioned, leaning her back against Mika'il's chest as he caressed her stomach lovingly. He always does that whether she is awake or asleep.

"Hmm, I haven't thought about it but, how does Bushra sounds? It means good omen." Zara jolted to a sitting position, swerved around to face him and see whether he is messing with her intelligence but no, he looks confused at her reaction, really flummoxed. She sighed, feeling a lot better than she did moments ago.

She does not know what she would've done if he regained his memories just like that. She placed on a fake smile then lean her back against his chest again like nothing happened.

"No, I don't like Bushra, it sounds funny. Why not some other unique names?" She changed the topic and it never risen again. They only call it pumpkin, just to avoid talking about the names again but she will have to ask this soon.

So she got dressed today to go get some baby clothes for her daughter as she didn't pack anything from Seoul related to their daughter. She was burning with fury to even think about it and now regrets why she was in a hurry when the guy is losing all his memories right in front of her. She also needs to go get those drugs from her mother's ex-husband as she only has three remaining. Ah, the joy of having power within you is unexplainable.

She hopped into Mika'il's car, he told her to use it while he sleeps inside faking drowsiness, like the medicine is working. She whistled her way down to the mall, oblivious to the car speeding behind her in full force.

Before she realised or got a whiff of what is going on, her car gets trampled and squashed in between two cars and then a truck came from in front of her and join the collision. It was one bad accident people are staring at, looking utterly astonished at the turn of event. One minute, two onyx cars were beside a silver one and the next, they are mingled together and squished by a truck.

People decide to call ambulance while staring at the scene because they are sure no one is going to survive that except the truck driver. But Zara did survive, she coughed while cracking her way out through the window in a hurry only to be pushed back by a man in black. It looks like he was amongst the ones that hit her car and he also survived. Clearly, he won't kill himself just because he needs to collide with her. But why? Who are these people and what do they want from her? She just came back to Nigeria for goodness sake!

"Where is the one billion you stole? Quickly tell me and you will survive or I strangle you right here, no one will suspect a thing." His words are dark, darker the any goons she's ever heard and because of his mask, she couldn't see the scars marring his face. She would've had a miscarriage, literally.

"I-I don't have them with me. And I swear they are not up to one billion now." She cried, her hands moving to keep her baby safe feeling the blood rushing down from her head. She can't even name the places she is hurt, everywhere hurts.

"Where do I get them? Tell me ASAP!" He roared, hearing the sirens of ambulance from afar which means he will get caught if she doesn't talk.

"Masari mansion in my luggage..." She whispered with the remaining energy she has left before she passed out on the bloodied chair and the guy escaped.

Leaving a pregnant woman hurt and bloody!
