CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

JAMIL

I was on my way to pick up my wedding suit from the boutique. The wedding preparations kicked off a few days after the traditional marriage which took place some weeks ago. I had told them to order the suit from Thailand, both the pair my best man was going to wear. I couldn't still believe i would become a married man in a couple of weeks. I parked my car in front of "Lexon" Empire and stepped down. I dialed a number on my phone and the person at the other end assured me he was close to Lexon Empire too. I put my phone into my pocket and leaned on my car. I felt someone was watching me. I looked around and didn't find anything unusual, I concluded i was just been paranoid. The feeling came back again, worst than before. I looked around again and just inside a car parked across the building at the other side of the road was a young man taking pictures of me. I raised my brows and stared intently at him. He continued taking pictures without noticing or caring about my stares. I started walking towards the car. I crossed the road and was a few feets away from the car when suddenly the car drove off but not before i got a glimpse of another person sitting at the passenger side, it was my Uncle. I would always recognize him even if i got just a glimpse of him. Then he smirked at me before they drove away. I could swear i saw my Uncle seated in that car smirking at me. I suddenly felt giddy and staggered backwards. Was he not supposed to be in prison? I held my head as it started aching all of a sudden.



"Jamil" someone called from behind. I turned around and it was the person i was waiting for.



"Stan. You have arrived" I said woozily.



"Are you okay?" He asked.



"Yea I'm fine bro. Let's go check out the suits" I nodded walking towards the building while he followed behind. After we were done checking the suits, I drove home straight after calling Stephanie and telling her that i wouldn't be returning to the office. When i got home, my attraction was sitting in the living room watching TV. I sighed and fell heavily on the sofa beside her.



"Babe you are back early" she said muting the TV.



"I don't even know If I'm going nuts babe" I replied.


"How? What do you mean?" She asked.



"I saw my Uncle today" I whispered.



"Your Uncle? Are you sure? Is he not supposed to be in prison?" She asked.



"I know what i saw. He even smirked at me or do you think I'm seeing things?" I said.



"Okay calm down. There is only one way to find out. Let's go to the police station to pay your Uncle a visit" she replied. I looked at her and smiled. How come i didn't think about that. I grabbed my car keys immediately and stood up.



"Let's go" I said. She looked at me like i was not serious.



"Now? Babe i don't mean now. You need to eat and freshen up first" she said holding my hand.



"I need to do this now for my own sanity. Let's go please" I said dragging her up. She nodded before joining me and together, we left the house.



When we got to the police station. The prison warden told us to sit while he went in to bring my Uncle. A few seconds later, he came out with my Uncle who was handcuffed. I looked at him and for someone in prison, he had gained weight. He sat down across from us and the warden shifted away from us to give us some privacy.



"So have you come to gloat?" He scoffed.



"I just wanted to make sure you are still here" I shrugged. He let out a throaty laugh before leaning forward then whispered.


"You won't even know what hit you by the time we are done with you" he grinned.


"You are still issuing out a threat while you are still here? Unbelievable" I hissed.


"It's not a threat boy, it's a promise" he stood up and went towards the warden who led him back to the prison. We walked in silence until we got to the car.


"You see? Your Uncle is still there. You don't have anything to worry about. Probably you are stressed from work and the wedding preparations too" my attraction spoke up.


"No. I don't think that was my Uncle back there" I replied letting out a sigh.



"Come on babe. You and i saw him together. What are you saying?" She asked.



"I know my Uncle very well. The person we saw in there is chubbier than my Uncle. When he stood up to leave, his arm, I saw a tattoo on his arm. My Uncle doesn't have a tattoo plus he doesn't have the birthmark on my Uncle's cheek" I replied tiredly feeling giddy again.


"What are you trying to say?" She asked.



"I think we arrested a doppelganger" I said as the realization dawned on me.

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
NONYE
FIVE DAYS TO THE WEDDING

I was going to pick up my wedding gown with my sister. Ever since Jamil's observation of his uncle having a doppelganger, we had been careful. He had reported to the authorities and they said they wouldn't do anything until we provided evidence. Not like i believed the man had a doppelganger or something, I just didn't want to get Jamil angry. It would make him look like he was going crazy if no one believed him. Mama bade us farewell as i and my sister got into the cab i had ordered. Jamil had suggested getting me a bodyguard to follow me everytime i went out but i declined. The car zoomed off and i got busy with my phone. I was so engrossed in my phone that i didn't notice when the car came to a halt. Not until i heard a gunshot and my heart skipped. I looked through the window and saw three hefty men wearing masks and gun in their hands walking towards our car.



"Sister they are coming towards us" Chimdiya panicked. I fearfully dailed Jamil's number and he picked almost immediately.



"Babe we are being attacked by gunmen" that was the only thing i said before the door to my side of the car got opened and i was dragged out of the cab. My phone fell on the ground and one of them smashed it with his boot.



"Sister" Chimdiya yelled. "Don't take my sister please she has a wedding on Saturday" she cried. I strained my eyes to look at the driver wondering why he was quiet. One of the gunmen held a gun to his head daring him to say a word. They ignored my sister's plea and dragged me to their car. My sister rushed out of the cab and attempted to follow us. One of them shot at her intentionally missing.



"I will make sure the next bullet hits you if you follow us again" he sneered before shoving me into the backseat of the car. I looked back and saw my sister sprawled on the ground crying. My eyes burned as my own tears gathered.



"Save your tears, you will need it later" the one sitting by my right side said placing a handkerchief over my nose and i became unconscious.



I woke up in a furnished room. I wondered what i was doing in a strange room when i remembered the abduction that happened earlier in the day. I quickly sat up on the bed and scanned the room. I thought abductors kept their victims in an uncompleted building?. I was about calling for help when an elderly woman entered the room.



"Oh you are awake" she smiled.



"Who are you and where am i?" I asked hoping she would say i was saved from the gunmen.



"My name is Maria and you are still abducted" she laughed sarcastically.



"What do you want from me?" I asked.



"We don't have any problem with you. It's your husband we want" someone said entering the room.



"I will take it from here honey" he said briefly kissing the woman before he turned to look at me.



"You?" I asked in shock.


"Yes it's me in flesh and blood" he grinned.



"Are you not supposed to be in prison?" I asked.



"I heard Jamil already figured there was a foul play. It's a pity you didn't believe him" he laughed.



"You truly have a doppelganger?" I asked feeling bad for not believing Jamil.



"I don't owe you any explanation. When the time is right, i will let you contact Jamil. You will be the bait" he winked at me.



"Please let me go. I have a wedding on Saturday" I cried.



"Oh no dear. It's better i kill Jamil now before the wedding. I wouldn't want to make you a widow" he replied.



"You want to kill my husband? What did he ever do to you?" I yelled.



"Nothing. I just want to kill him so that i can inherit the company" he replied casually like it was a good thing to do.



"You think you will go free after killing him? You must be insane" I scoffed.



"You really must be underestimating me. By now you should know that i have my ways. I have everything planned out" he chuckled. I flew out of the bed and launched towards him.



"Don't you dare touch my husband. Leave us alone" I said grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. He flung me away and i fell back on the bed.



"She is crazy now isn't she?" He asked his wife and they shared a long kiss.



"You are the crazy ones here and you disgust me" I screamed.


"See you later crazy woman" they hissed leaving the room. I let out a loud wail the moment they left.

All because of money.

Damsel thank you

Can this man just die already?

Na wa o

She should have believed her husband especially after the visit to the prison, now she's been used as a bait... I wonder what they have up to their sleeves

Is this man mad? Nonye should have believed her husband, he knows his uncle very well.


Well done damsel

At this point

I don't know if I am mad at Nonye or at the so called uncle

CHAPTER THIRTY

JAMIL

I couldn't even describe how i felt at that moment after hearing that my attraction had been abducted. I was shocked, angry, sad, frustrated, depressed, furious, annoyed all at once. I walked tro and fro in my living room while my in-laws were seated at a corner crying their eyes out. I offered to get her a bodyguard but she refused. That girl was really stubborn and for the first time in my life, i regretted loving stubborn ladies. I knew her disappearance had something to do with my Uncle. I felt downcast and useless. I couldn't even protect her. Someone rang the doorbell and i rushed to get the door. There were two police men standing outside and i let them in. My in-laws rushed to them immediately asking if they had found their daughter.



"Calm down please. We are doing our best" one of the officers said.


"Did you say calm down? My daughter is missing and you are saying i should calm down?" My mother in-law yelled.



"Mom please calm down" I said to her and she went to sit down.



"Sir have they contacted you yet to ask for ransom or anything?" He asked.



"No they haven't. I wish they will call. I can give them any amount they want as long as they will release my wife" I said in all sincerity.



"Once they contact you, do well to inform us" he said again. I nodded and sighed all at once.



"I just wish I'm dreaming" I muttered.



"Is there anyone you are suspecting?" The officer spoke up.



"Yes my uncle" I replied sharply.



"But your uncle is in prison sir" he replied. I felt like punching the stupidity out of him. Was he thinking i was going crazy?.



"Listen to me. The person in your custody is an imposter. I don't know what is happening but i know that he is not my uncle. My uncle isn't that chubby and he doesn't have a tattoo on his arm" I sneered.



"Okay sir we will investigate it together with the abduction case. Is there any other person you are suspecting?" He asked.



"No. It's only my uncle and my instincts never fails me" I answered.



"Okay sir. We will be on our way now" he said. I only nodded and walked them to the door.





Calm down lovelies. We have about four more chapters to go. Thank you
