"What in the world!" Amrah exclaimed not believing her eyes.

She scrolled through. Sure enough it was a marriage contract. Between her Areef and that witch. She was saw red with the realization that Areef chose to pay that wrench money to marry him over marrying her after she had thrown herself at him more times that she can recall.

How dare Areef insult her that way. He will surely regret ever rejecting her. She'll make sure she knocks him off his damned pedestal and destroy not only him but his pretty little family. Just he wait.

The next day. With a mission in mind she dressed up like the nice daddy's girl she isn't and went to have breakfast with her parents.

Both her parents were surprised as she had closed them off for weeks. She wouldn't sit with them or even talk to any of them.

"Good morning daddy, good morning mom!" she chirped.

They answered her shocked even more. Amrah greeting them? When did that one start?

As they got served breakfast she began in a very remorseful tone.

"Daddy, mom. I just want to say I'm really sorry for the way I've acted these past months. I didn't know what came over me. I was just so into him I didn't realize I was loosing myself to get someone who isn't worth it. I promise you guys I'm completely and totally over him. I want to put everything behind me and move on and I can't do that without your forgiveness and support." She finished wiping a tear from her cheek.

Even if they wanted to stay angry at her they couldn't after her little pity show. She melted thier hearts and they could not help but shed some tears of joy as they hugged their only daughter raining blessings on her.

She tried her best to make her parents believe she had really reformed. They go shopping with her mother, go for drives with her daddy like any other picture perfect family.

All the while she had someone back in Nigeria digging for any dirt on either of the two families, Airah's and Areef's. So far nothing image tarnishing has surfaced. She had told Ruwaida none of the documents had anything of importance to send more but Ruwaida told her she can't access anymore of her husband's documents as he has put extra security on them.

It was on a Sunday that her informant called her with news regarding Areef.

"I managed to trace a hidden camouflaged house to him. According to the guy who tipped me he visits seldomly and hasn't visited for long now but it's seems no one knows about the house. Might be hiding something there." Amrah's curiosity peaked. I hidden secret house. She wouldn't want to miss out on what was in it. Not to show her enthusiasm she composed herself before answering.

"Not bad, well don't go into the house yet. I'll be in Nigeria shortly then I'll take it from there myself."

"Fine. I guess my job is done. I'll be waiting to receive my balance. " The man added.

"Not so fast I'll do that when I see the house, if it's worth it you get your balance if it's not you keep digging. " She ended the call before he could make a protest and blocked his number for the time being.

After a few more lies her father allowed her to come to Nigeria on the pretense that she was going to attend a friend's wedding. Well a friend of hers was getting married just that she wasn't going just for the wedding. In fact the wedding was in Lagos while her destination was Abuja.

The next day she left France for Nigeria which was around a month to Mahmud and Amal's wedding.

She met up with her informant a day after arriving and they drove to Areef's safe haven.
