Bianca didn't return home that night. Her father tried calling her a couple of times but her phone was switched off.
After staying up till it was past 2 am, Mr. Daniel urged his wife to retire to bed. he blew off the candle on the cake, and turned off the light bulbs before walking his wife to their room.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Femi." Mrs. Daniels said as her husband tucked her into sleep.
"Don't worry, she'll come home, might just be one of her late nights. But I'll wait for her downstairs," he replied and planted a kiss on his wife's forehead.
She flashed a weak smile and closed her eyes. he knew that she wasn't gonna sleep just yet. He turned off the electric lamp on the table beside the bed and walked out of the room.
That night, he waited and waited, but still no sign of her. He tried calling again but still got the same reply.
Call him weak, but at this moment, he was damn scared. Different thoughts rushed into his head. His mind played the worst-case scenario in his head over and over again.
He could notice his blood pressure rising.
He was woken up the next morning by his wife, with just a gentle tap on the shoulder. He didn't even realize that he had fallen asleep.
"She didn't come home last night, didn't she?" she asked. Hoping to hear that she had returned home, but alas he nodded negatively.
It wasn't a new thing for Bianca to stay out late, but it wasn't like her to switch off her phone. She was a social media person and was always online.
"We have to go to the police." Mrs. Thompson suggested. Her voice broke down.
"I know, but let me call Chioma and find out about her ware about." He ran over to his phone and dialed the number of his daughter's best friend.
"Hey Chioma, have you seen Bianca? Is she with you?" he asked as soon as the call connected.
"Good morning, sir. Bianca? She left last night. She said you were hosting a birthday party for her and left, that was the last time any of us has seen her." Chioma informed them.
Her words floated into the ears of both parents, shredding their remaining pillar of faith.
Without wasting even, a second, they dashed out to the police station to report the situation.
Mr. Daniel was a prominent figure in society. He was a supreme court judge and knew a lot of inspectors and detectives.
He was paid rapt attention and detective Taiwo promised to commence the search for his daughter immediately. After spending almost an hour stressing about how important it is that their daughter is found, they finally left for home.
Mrs. Thompson hardly said a word all through their drive home. Her gaze focused outside the car.
They had gotten close to their house when they sighted the crowd, right there in front of their gate.
"Thompson? What's going on?" his wife asked.
"I don't know." He replied, applying the brakes and coming to a stop. He stepped down from his car and move towards the crowd.
"What's happening here?" he asked loudly.
The crowd turned in his direction and parted for him to pass through. He walked through the crowd who seemed horrified as if they had seen a ghost.
He took a few more steps until his feet stopped abruptly.
"Bianca!" His daughter's name escaped his lips.
Bianca's body was nailed to his fence, Naked. Her lips are masterfully sliced off, her legs spread open and a dildo can be seen visible in her private area. Her naked body was covered with her own blood.
All these he saw in just a few seconds before his wife's shrieking scream jolted him out of his shocked state.
