“Hello Mom! mom!! “Andrew said over the phone
“Son! what happened to you, where are you? Victoria said pretending to care
“mom! they kidnapped me, and I don’t know where I am now, mom pl………. “bomb collected the phone from Andrew
“Woman! if you want your son alive, we nee-d a Ransom of 50 million naira before we can let him go “bomb Said and Victoria pretended to cry over the phone
“plea-se you people should let my son go, don’t kill him I beg you “Victoria said while Charles who was there with her smiled and gave her a thumb up
“Listen to me woman, you will bring 50 million naira before we can let your son go or we will kill him if you fail to give us that money “bomb said and Victoria pretended to cry over the phone again
“plea-se 50 million is too much, I don’t have such money “Victoria said
“plea-se my mother don’t have such money, but don’t worry I will tell her to transfer the money to you people, my phone is at home with her, plea-se give me your phone let me talk to her “Andrew pleaded and they gave him the phone
“Hello Mom…….. “he said with tears
“hello son, are you okay? did they hurt you? Victoria asked
“Am okay mom, they said that we must give them 50 million before they can let me go “Andrew said
“but I don’t have such amount son “Victoria said over the phone
“I know Mom, I want you to use my phone and do the transfer for them, my code is 4413, transfer it for them so that they can let me go “Andrew said and Victoria smiled over the phone and so was Charles
“Ok son, are you sure you have such amount in your account? she asked
“yes Mom, just transfer the money to them so that they can let me go “Andrew said
“Alright son, give the phone to them “Victoria said and Andrew gave bomb the phone, and bomb put the phone on speak out so that Andrew will hear everything
“Hello thun-der, the idiot said that I should transfer the money to you people, I will transfer it into your account, so that he will not suspect that I was the one that s£nt you people to kidnap him, but first s£nd me your account number, immediately I transfer the money to you, make sure you kill him and dump his b©dy in the Cana where you dump the other boy, maybe later you transfer 45 million into Charles account, while you people should take the remaining 5 million as we agreed “Victoria said over the phone and Andrew was very shocked on what he heard because the phone was on speak out
“ok ma’am, we will do as you said “bomb said and ended the call, while Andrew was in tears
“So my mother could do this to me, what have I done to deserve such evil plot from her, is it because am not her real child, oh God that woman is very heartless and wicked “Andrew said with tears because he never expected that from the woman he called his mother
“That is life for you my brother, we did all this for you to know the kind of woman she is “Paka said
“So who are you people and why are you doing all this? Andrew asked sadly
“We were s£nt by our boss to protect you, but the other people who are chasing after us were the people your mother s£nt to kidnap you, but thank God we c@m£ on time before they could get you, if not our boss will not be happy with us “smart said
“your boss?And who is this your boss? Andrew asked
“You will soon know who our boss is, and as for your 50 million we will transfer it back to you later, I just received an alert that she have s£nd the money “bomb said and Andrew shake his head with tears dropping from his eyes
.
Victoria and Charles were very happy that their plan were going smoothly
“Am so happy right now that all our plans are going smoothly, I can’t wait for thun-der to s£nd the 45 million in my account, this cost for a celebr@tion, this is what we call victory mom “Charles said excitedly
“yes son, it cost for a celebr@tion because is not easy to have victory at last ” Victoria said smiling
“that fool think that he can take what rightfully belongs to me and go Scot free, any way let him rest in pieces, but mom! you are such a good actress, and so proud of you, I don’t know how to thank you for everything you have done for me, I love you Mom, you are the best mother in the world “Charles said and hvg his mother
“I love you too my son, and I want the best for you, that is why I can go to any length to see that my children are happy, most especially you because you are my favorite among your siblings, anyway let’s celebr@te our Victory and also be expecting your money later from thun-der ” Victoria said and Charles was very happy, but unknown to them that the people they spoke with on phone are not thun-der and his gangs

*****Back to the mechanic’s house*****
.
Something is not right here, the news is everywhere that late Mr Jude’s first son Andrew have been kidnapped, Are you sure ra-phael don’t have a hand in this to get back at Mrs Victoria for what she did to him, I remembered someone called him on the phone and said it is done, he has done it, I heard it loud and clear, no I nee-d to go and ask ra-phael, he must tell me the truth of what he’s hiding “the mechanic thought to himself and then he stood up and went to ra-phael’s room, on getting there ra-phael was slee-ping, so he woke him up
“plea-se ra-phael sit up, we nee-d to talk “he said and ra-phael sat up
“brother Ayo, what is the matter, I hope there is no problem “ra-phael asked and also he was wondering what Ayo wanted to say
“There will be problem if you don’t tell me the truth, are you aware that Andrew have been kidnap? the mechanic asked with a serious face
“Yes am aware, the news is all over the town? ra-phael responded
“good, now tell me what I nee-d to know? Ayo said and ra-phael was confused by his statement
“I don’t un-derstand what you mean by that “ra-phael said confusedly
“ra-phael! look me in the eyes and tell me the truth, you know that am like a elder brother to you so don’t lie to me, do you have a hand in Andrew’s kidnap? Ayo asked again
“OMG! why will you think like that, I don’t have a hand in his kidnap, why will I do that? ra-phael asked confusedly
“you did it to get back at Mrs Victoria for what she did to you, how could you, even though you want to get back at her must you kidnap their son Andrew “Ayo said and ra-phael was confused the more
“believe me I don’t have a hand in Andrew’s kidnap, even if I wanted to kidnap any of her children to get back at her, I would have gone for Charles because he’s her favorite child, but am innocent of all this thing you are saying, and besides Andrew is like a brother to me, I wouldn’t dream of doing such thing to him “ra-phael insisted
“you said you don’t have a hand in Andrew’s kidnap, so who was the person that called you on phone and told you that it is done, he has done it, you think I did not hear it, now tell me what I nee-d to know “Ayo said and ra-phael was speechless
“you are quiet, you don’t want to talk, which means you have a hand in Andr………..
“I don’t have a hand in his kidnap, ok fine the person that called me that day was a new friend of mine just like I told you, and what he meant that it is done, he has done it was that I transferred some money into his account to s£nd to my father in the village, remember I told you that I don’t want anyb©dy to know that am still alive until the right time I will let them know, had it been that I use my account to transfer the money to my father he will know that am still alive, In order to avoid that, I transferred the money into my friend’s account so that he can s£nd it to my father, since he’s into POS business, that was what he meant it is done, which means The transaction was successful, he has done it means that he has s£nt the money “ra-phael explained and the mechanic sighed
“you should have tell me all this while so that I can un-derstand, anyway am really sorry for judging you wrong “Ayo apologized
“Is okay, I un-derstand, I would also think the same thing if I were the one, anyway I would like to give Mrs Victoria a surprise visit tomorrow, and I will be going there with some policemen, I can’t continue hiding myself anymore, is high time she pay for what she did to me, I nee-d to be a free man “ra-phael said
.
*****The next day in Jude’s house*****

Charles could be seen pacing and boiling in anger, his mother Victoria was there calming him down.
“Calm down son, am equally not happy for what thun-der did “Victoria said
“Mom don’t tell me to calm down, it’s been 2days now and thun-der haven’t s£nd the money into my account, we are talking of 45 million and you are telling me to calm down, no way mom “Charles angrily said
“but am still confused, is unlike thun-der, he haven’t behave this way, I think something is wrong somewhere “Victoria said
“There is nothing wrong mom, thun-der have taken the money with his gang , he think he’s Wise but he don’t know who he’s dealing with, I promise that he and his gangs will pay with their lives for this, they think they can eat my money and go Scot free “Charles angrily said, just then Bella and Felix c@m£ to the sitting room and was surprised to see their brother Charles in that mood
“mom! what is wrong with Charles? Bella asked but her mother didn’t reply her
“Charles what is the problem? Bella asked her brother who was still pacing around
“Why can’t you mind your business and leave me alone “Charles yelled at her

“No… no…. you are dead, you are dead “Victoria screamed
“ra-phael! I thought you are dead “Bella said surprisedly but somehow she was scared because she thought that he was a ghost
“No baby am alive, am here for you, plea-se come to me I really missed you “ra-phael said opening his arm
“Bella don’t go close to him he’s a ghost “Charles said and at the same time he was still shocked on seeing him
“Am not a ghost, am alive, your mother s£nt people to kill me “ra-phael said
“what!! how? is it true mom? Felix asked surprisedly
“don’t mind this boy, he’s lying against me, I don’t know what he’s talking about “Victoria denied
“mom! is it true what ra-phael is saying? Bella also asked

“Bella believe me, I know what am talking about, your mother s£nt people to kill me, Ayo here was the one that saved my life “ra-phael said and pointed at the door and Ayo c@m£ in
“I don’t know who to believe, plea-se is it true what ra-phael is saying? Bella asked and Ayo nodded his head in agreement
“How could you mom, why will you s£nd people to kill him, you are very wicked “Felix sadly said
“plea-se my children, I don’t know what this boy is talking about, he’s lying against me “Victoria still denied
“officers! she is the woman am telling you about who tried to kill me, plea-se arrest her “ra-phael said to the policemen who have been standing there, so the policemen went to arrest Victoria
“you don’t have to arrest only her, also arrest Charles as well “Another voice said behind them and they all turned to know who was that but to their greatest shock it was………….
