HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END

CHAPTER 52

Less than ten minutes later the military pickup pulled over with Mrs Benson’s private ride.

Frankly she wasn’t bothered about Diana as long she doesn’t make a struggle, Jimi carried Abby out of the cab himself so they don’t scare her, she was confused but too weak to ask the right questions

Diana stood there like a frozen statue unable to break out of the ice. She watched them take Abby away and it was like watching a 7D except you’re too stuck to do anything about it

By the time she snapped out of it she was standing in the motor park with their luggage and her daughter gone

She couldn’t even figure out what next to do, she has to follow them press a lawsuit and fight for what is her’s but she doesn’t even know where to begin

Marty’s house seem like the only place she could run to but Marty was at work. And she was too ashamed to show herself to her friend at this point after all the things she kept from her

She was cashing out her last naira at the ATM when Anita’s car pulled over and she got out of it to quickly make a withdrawal

Diana didn’t see how Anita could help her in any way until she approached her

“Hello Diana”

“Yes…. Do you need something?” She asked without raising her head

“Wow girl. I wasn’t expecting to see you here, it’s so early. Is everything okay?”

“What do you want Anita. I really don’t have the strength for your troubles this morning”

“Relax am not here to cause troubles, I just came to see how you are doing….”

“Do I look like I am not fine”

“Yes Diana you do look like you haven’t had any sleep. Are you sure you don’t need anything ”

“I’m fine Anita… You don’t need to act all nice it doesn’t suit you”

“Cmon Diana, am just trying to be civil. Okay I admit I watched the video and it doesn’t look like it sitting well with you”

“Good to know that you noticed”

“Alright fine, I’ll let you be, I just want you to know that I’m here for whatever you need”

“You don’t have to pretend to care Anita. I can take anything you throw at me at this point coz I really don’t care”

“Trust me I understand what you’re going through, I have been there, experienced it and felt completely worthless but I didn’t let that break me. I choose to rise again and now look at me, it like it never even happened*

“Am not sure our cases are similar but I appreciate the encouragement… Thanks”

“You are welcome, don’t forget to let me know when you need something, anything at all as long as it within my reach… I will come through”

”Well how’ bout a very good lawyer” Diana decides to take her chances

“Lawyer…… You need a lawyer”

“Yes I do”

“Ok But what do you need a lawyer for?” She had to ask

“I will let you know as soon as I see the lawyer” Diana is not about to walk on eggshells with this lady she doesn’t trust one bit

“Okay then. I think I can set up a meeting with you and my lawyer. How soon do you want it”

“Like today. Like right now” she gasps

“Okay I see this is pretty serious. How about I just drive you straight to his office instead and call him to meet us there, see if we can sneak in a quick appointment”

“That’d be great. Thank you”

Anita noticed the desperation in Diana’s eyes and even though she wasn’t sure what it was about. It does look pretty serious and helping her get through this might just be redeeming her from being the hard rock bch everyone tags her as lately

HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END

They arrived at her lawyer’s office in about an hour later. Diana was definitely not feeling any better and she was always panicking, looking out the window as if to toss all the vehicles out of the way so they could arrive faster

She kept chewing her nails and tapping her fingers against her thighs. It was disturbing but Anita couldn’t complain

Barrister Uche was having a busy morning but when his top client Anita Roland’ called to request an early meeting he had to reschedule all his meetings just to make room for her

When Anita and Diana walked in, Uche was already expecting them

“Welcome ladies. Good morning to you two”

“Morning Uche. This is my ……Uhm …. friend” the word dropped before she could retrieve it but it just felt better than saying my ex rebellious employee

“This is Diana and she really needs your service”

“Oh hi Diana, so what can I do for you”
Diana took a deep breath

“If you want I can excuse you guys” Anita offered

“No ….. There’s no point, the whole world is going to find out about it anyways”

“Ok”

“Lawyer I need you to help me get my daughter back. The Benson’s…. they took my daughter literally snatched her out of my hands and they’re going to start doing a DNA test that I do not approve of and I know they’re powerful people but I don’t want to go down this lane without a fair fight”

“Okay so did you make a police report”

“No, thats not going to work”

“If they kidnapped your daughter against your will, the police as to be involved at some point”

“No you don’t understand. They’re going to sue me if I try to fight this so I just want us to reach an agreement so they give me back my daughter and we stay out of their lives forever and vice versa”

“I really don’t understand what you’re trying to say Miss Diana”

“What will the DNA results show” Anita asked
Diana pants heaving looking pitifully at her chopped chewed fingernails

“That Jimi Benson is her father”
Anita thought she heard wrong
Barrister Uche was even more confused
And Diana just want to put this nightmare behind her
