I felt pains shooting up and down my body.
Tunji, why are you so wicked?
Afterall it was money you needed.
Why are you taking advantage of me?
I’m talking to you, I yelled.
He raised his arms in anger, ?
Are you mad?.
Instantly his arm swung swiftly, like steel, it impacted on mine.
Fear bulged from my eyeballs,
My chest heaved rapidly and my heart wouldn’t quit pounding; it felt like it might tear out of my chest.
He grabbed me by my neck and held me against the nearest tree and he began choking me.
He tightened his grip on my throat.
I began clawing at his hands trying to break free.
There was nothing I could do to defend myself at all.
I was at his mercy.
He let go of my neck.
I was coughing as I was trying to get my breath back.
He grasped both my hands and heaved me up.
My feet dangled in the air.
Tunji, please don’t kill me, I pleaded.
I won’t kill you but I will break your ribs.
He dropped me like a sack to the floor and I screamed in dismay.

Some hours later I heard Tunji speaking with someone on the phone, but I don’t know who it was.
You know today is the deadline to pay the money I asked for.
Just drop the money at the address I sent to you.
Few hours later the phone rang again and he picked it up.
Okay, I am almost there.
Hope the money is complete.
And don’t try any Sh|t with me, you know your daughter’s life is at stake.
If you want to dare me just set me up.
I will make sure I kill your daughter immediately.
Then he hung up the call.
He sent one of his gang members to go and bring the money from the said location.
Within a few minutes he came back with the money, which was inside a travel bag.

If I said I should free you.
You might get me arrested because you already know who is behind your kidnapping, he said.
Please just spare my life I won’t tell anyone, I said.
There is nothing I can do than to kill you.
He pointed the gun at me.
I closed my eyes and my hand was shaking.
Is this where I am going to end my life?
A cold shiver ran down my spine as cold sweat trickled down the side of my forehead.
The next thing I heard was a gunshot.
I knew this was the end.
I suddenly opened my eyes and I found out the gun didn’t hit me.
I can’t believe it, I am alive.
I looked in front and I saw one of the gang members already dead and the other members had fled away.
Who just shot the gun?
Who saved my life?
This is the question I was asking myself until I looked back and I saw my Ex boyfriend.
What! I exclaimed Daniel.
He was wearing blue jeans and a green shirt.
I saw him holding a gun.
I saw him in pool of blood.
He had severe injuries on the head and blood was gushing out.
“Oh God,” I shouted.
Shock hit me like lightning.
I quickly ran to meet him and I dragged him up.
Tears began flowing down my face.
I held his hand and we ran as fast as our legs could carry us.
Since it was almost dark, I stumbled and fell a couple times.
OUCH! My leg crippled with pain and my head ached.
Finally we reached the main road.
I saw a car approaching.
I waved and stopped the car.
I told the driver what had happened and he drove us to the hospital.
I couldn’t believe it, Daniel saved my life and put his own life at stake.
To be continue…………………???
