"Busola. This is not the time." Dad said. " Seyi do you know who I leaked this video?."

"I may have a clue." I said.

"Good. You both fly back to Lagos and figure it all out. Zina in Lagos you will know whether Seyi loves you or not. My driver will take you the airport. There are renting a place for me to keep the jet. Use it." Dad said all at once.

I was surprised.

"Go!." He said when no one moved.

Zina was silent through out the ride to lagos.

I didn't try explaining myself to her cause I didn't want to lie to her again.

When we got down, two cars were already there.

"I'm going to see someone. Take our luggages and go home"

"You have a lot of explaining to do Seyi and don't tell me your going to see Osas."

"No I'm not. I promise." Which was the truth. I needed to find Ola and her boyfriend.

I dialed Ola's number." Where's your boyfriend?."

Ola's p.o.v

I, Rasaq, Mr Solape and the computer guy that Osas had recommended were all at my home when we saw the video.

I had managed to convince Mr Solape to come even if it was night.

The footage was still recovering when the video popped up.

"I... I didn't do this." Rasaq stuttered. Fear written all over his face.

"I believe you Rasaq but will Osas and the rest believe you.' I said.

"We have to call her." Rasaq said.

"She's on a date with Michael. I can't just-"

"Please." His eyes pleaded. " It's better if she hears this from us."

I called her and found out she was already on her way home with Boma alone.

I told her to come to my house that I had something to tell her.

She was stuck in traffic and may take time to arrive.
"How's the footage?." Mr Solape asked.

"Soon be done." He said.

"With this footage we can know who is behind all this."

My phone rang. I stared at the ID and froze.

"Who is it ?." Rasaq asked.

"Seyi. Do answer?"

"Yes." Mr Solape said.

I connected and put it on loud speaker.

"Where's your boyfriend?." He asked before I could say anything.

From his tone it was certain that he knew the video was out and was pissed.

"His with me." I said.

"Where ?."

I told him the address.

"I'll be there in a few minutes." He disconnected the call.

"Few minutes?" Rasaq panicked.

"Didn't he travel ?" Mr Solape asked.

"Yeah."

"How long for the video ?." Rasaq asked the computer guy.

"Half an hour."

"Half an hour !."

In about ten minutes or so Seyi was in my house.

"Can you explain why you released the video?."

Surprisingly his voice was calm although his face revealed other wise.

"I didn't release the video." Rasaq said.

"Then who did?." He frowned.

"That's what we are trying to find out." Mr Solape joined in.

Seyi glanced at him." How ?."

"We are trying to retrieve the CCTV footage. Maybe we are all just being set up."

"Why is Gerald not here with you guys and don't you think whoever deleted the footages knew that it can be retrieved ?."

"We wanted to find out who is behind this before telling Gerald and for the recovering of the footage it's worth the try." I said.

"I really don't know why I'm calm about all this situation." Seyi said.

He seemed to be taking to himself.

" How is your fiancee?." Rasaq asked.

Seyi snapped a glare at him but still answered. " She seems to be handling the issue well."

Few minutes after the footage was ready to be watched.

Zina P.o.v

"I want her dead!." I boomed to Tolu.

"We just threatened her and I think it worked."

"How ?."

"Well her boyfriends car got smashed by some thugs and we took advantage of the situation and sent a threatening message to her which would scare her."

I scoffed." I don't care if she's scared Tolu. I want her dead. You have done what you wanted now do what I want."

"We can't do it this night."

"Why?."

"It's to risky. People may suspect-"

"Fine tomorrow and that is final." I disconnected the call and tossed it to the couch where a file was.

The file had been packed in one of  Seyi's bags and when I had opened it I discovered something that may destroy all our hard work.

Osas was Jemima.

She had never died in the crash.

Did seyi know ?.

I need to kill her whether he knew or not.

No one is taking Seyi from me !.

My phone rang and I picked it up.

I connected. " Fuck of Gerald" and disconnected.

I didn't want to hear 'i told to so' from anyone especially not him.
