CHAPTER 23
I stared into the mirror hung on the toilet wall as I brushed my teeth, I wasn't feeling so good this
morning but I felt it was probably the stress I had gone through the day before. I felt nauseated and a
slight headache too. I thought about the good news I had received yesterday.
"Are you really serious about the wedding" I asked excitedly.
"Yes I am!! Would I lie about a thing like that" Salma said.
"So, the wedding is this weekend" Salma informed
"Wow,that's early. That's in like 3 days from now "
"Yeah, there was no point in waiting and since it's just going to be a small garden wedding with close
families. We decided to make it earlier" Salma explained.
"That's great, is there anything I can help with though. I would love to help" I said
"You can, there is a lot to do. I won't refuse free help" Salma said
"Alright then, I should be there tomorrow" I informed before she ended the call.
I opened my wardrobe to pick out a cloth to wear to Salma's place. After several minutes of picking
out different clothes. I finally made a decision. I picked out a gown and wore it.
I got down the stairs and was about to open the door to leave the house when I realized it was
locked. It was never locked especially since people were inside. I realized it was locked with a key.
"Ayo" I called out
"Yes ma" She answered as she walked up to me.
"Where is the key to this door and why is it even locked" I asked
"The key isn't with me ma" she answered.
"So, who is it with then" I asked
"Oga(Ridwan) took it with him when he was going" She said and then I figured Ridwan had actually
locked me inside the house.
"What!!"I exclaimed then proceeded to where I had dropped my phone on the table to call him. I
scrolled through my phone to dial is number then I realized my phone had been tampered with. The
sim card in my phone was a new one with just Ridwan, my mum and sisters number on it. I
immediately dialled his number then he picked on the second ring.
"Hey" he said NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Why would you lock me inside the house, what kind of behaviour is this. Like I am a prisoner, in my
own home" I said angrily.
"Yeah, I locked the door and no one is saying you are a prisoner. Somethings just have to be done to
make sure everyone is safe and okay" he explained.
"What does that even mean, there is no excuse for this" I said
"You really should just sit at home and rest. No need going about outside"
"And what did you do to my phone and where is my sim card" I asked
"I changed your sim card and since the important numbers you need are there, you really don't need
any other number" he said and I became even more furious. What the hell was going on. I really
couldn't wrap my head around it all and before Ridwan could say another word, I ended the
call.
