Chapter 22 - THE MYSTERIOUS ENVELOP

Leyla, Dora and Prisca got to the car and found little Tatiana, laying fast asleep at the back seat.

" Oh, my God, my baby....Dora, Prisca, Tatiana is back.....", Leyla cried as she anxiously carried her.

A white envelop suddenly fell off from the baby's cloth without Leyla's notice.

" Thank goodness. I'm so happy.....we finally found her", Prisca cried, relieved.

Dora stood beside them with a suspicious look, worried. She gazed around nervously and finally drew more closer to the car.

" What is this white envelop, Leyla? Were you the one who dropped it there....?", she queried, showing it to them.

" No, I have no idea where it came from..."

" Come on, let's see what it says", Prisca added nervously.

" Alright, alright, I'm coming...."

Dora quickly opened the envelop and drew out a letter from it.

" I HAVE A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU AND DANIEL ON TATIANA'S BIRTHDAY. IT'S OUR LITTLE SECRET...", the letter boldly read.

" What's the meaning of this ? who is behind this letter....?", Prisca queried.

" I don't know but all I know is that, is someone who knows much more than he or she should. You have to do something very fast about this ,Leyla....", Dora stated anxiously.

" So, what do you guys think I should do now.....?"

" I know what you'll do but first ( glances around ) let's get out of here. Whoever is behind this might be watching us...."

" Dora has a point there, let's leave now ....", Prisca responded.

" okay, I'll join you guys in your car. Let's go ....."

" And what of yours? Are you leaving it here?", Dora asked, worriedly.

" Yeah, I'll call Daniel to ask one of his workers to fetch it"

" Alright, let's go..."

They hurried into Dora's car and sped off from there.

PRISCA'S SHOP

After an hour drive, they pulled over in front of Prisca's shop.

" Why are we here, Dora?", Leyla asked, confused.

" What do you mean by why are we here? We are definitely here to discuss our next step. We need to be two steps ahead of this blackmailer. I was thinking that, maybe the person followed you from the house and had plans of where you were heading towards so I decided we change the venue to suit the situation.... "

" That's so brilliant, Dora. Now ,let's get in, walls have ears....", Prisca whispered and strolled towards the shop. Leyla and Dora followed suit.

INSIDE THE SHOP

" So, what is the next plan? What should I do, guys?", Leyla cried.

" I'll tell you what to do but first tell us, did you see anything wired or funny when you got to the mall?", Dora asked with a detective attitude.

" Um....yeah...."

" Okay, what was it about?"

" I saw Theodora. She appeared like a shadow and disappeared all of a sudden but before that, she said something..... "

" Okay, okay, go on, what did she say....?", Prisca uttered with her eyes fixed on Leyla. Dora also gazed at her expectantly.

" She was like, she's back for me and threatened me with Tatiana's secret.....That is when I didn't see her again and Tatiana went missing"

" what? how did she know about Tatiana...? "

" I don't know, Prisca....."

" I'm smelling something fishy here..... Theodora's sudden appearance and disappearance with Tatiana was not just a mere coincidence. It was rather a plot....", Dora explained.

" A plot? how? " ,Leyla and Prisca chorused.

" Yes, I'm sure she took Tatiana and took a symbol of her blood for a DNA. That is the only way she can get a prove against you...."

" Oh, my God, this can't be good", Prisca cried.

" Why didn't I think of this before? So what do you suggest I do?"

" Ask Daniel to send you out of the country as soon as possible. You stay there, until we're sure its safe to return....what do you think about it, guys?

" I support, Dora....You have to leave soon enough to prevent any scandal.... "

" Okay, guys.....you're right. This is the only way to get Theodora off my back. I agree with you all. I'll discuss it with Daniel this evening. Thank you so much guys..."

" Welcome dear. Don't worry, we've always got your back...", Dora added.

They all laughed and hugged each other. Leyla glanced at her time and quickly stood up.

" I need to get home now, Daniel will be back in an hour time....."

" Alright, let's go .....I'll drop you off..."

" Thanks so much, Dora. See you later, Prisy, bye..."

" Take care dear.....", Prisca waved at them as they sped off in the car.
