Chapter 6 - A small escape

when Anita woke up it's already 9 o'clock, she went in and took a bath , came out wore her clothes and tried to order food , as she did that, it only took some minutes before she it was delivered to her room, she ate slowly remembering about yesterday. she couldn't eat anymore as she loose her appetite , she looked for her phone everywhere trying to recall if she brought it along with her , finally she found it, hopefully it is charged. Anita tried booking a flight online,but her bank account is empty so that means she has to pay in cash , or should she drop at a bank to make deposit, she kept thinking to herself. she decided to deposit half of the money to her bank account if not she will get suspicious at the airport . And she did just that, went to the bank filled the necessary papers and signed, she then requested for a new ATM card saying she lost the old one, and the bank gave her a new card and put the money in her bank account.

when she came out of the bank she strolled down the street to buy a few clothes and a box . A boutique came in her sight and she entered. welcome madam said the shopkeeper, please come in. Anita smiled and proceeded in , she then started surfing through the clothes. oh this one looks good on you said the shopkeeper to Anita. she bought three sun dresses, four jeans and 5 tops with a few underwear. They were a little expensive so she paid with cash to reduce the amount she is carrying. Bought a box to put them in and proceeded to the airport. Now where am i up to, she said to herself.She stopped a cab and entered. it's the same person that carried her to the hotel yesterday, what a coincidence, she didn't pay much mind to it , she kept thinking to herself where she will go to . Spain, Germany, Italy and many more countries came to her mind. she decided to go to Germany, she thought to herself no one will think she went there.

when they reached the airport, he stopped the car and turned to her with a wide smile, my name is Alex it's nice to meet you. I know what I'm doing is unprofessional, but I can't hide the fact that I love you, since yesterday when I picked you up and saw your face I instantly fell in love with you , I kept thinking about you all night long . That's why I came back to the hotel , but when I reached there you already left and I kept looking for you luckily I saw you and you stopped me , so you see , I think we are meant for each other, so I decided to tell you, I Know I'm not up to your level but please if you give me a chance I'll prove to you that I love you wholeheartedly.

Anita just looked at him in shock.( what on earth, here comes another problem she said internally ) I'm not interested she said , Anita then removed his money from her pocket and kept it on the car seat, got out of the car with her box.oh no please wait don't go yet I'm sorry, he got out too and started following her , she turned around and said to him if you keep following me I swear I'll call the police. He stopped in his tracks and said I'm sorry please, but.. but can you please give me your mobile number or.. or home address.Anita shouted no I won't, go away from here.she turned and headed towards the airport Alex didn't follow her again .

At the other end Jack's body has started decaying and the smell has started spreading.Mr John and the other man came with the police to arrest jack . As they reached the door a pungent smell hit their noses. They had to step back to catch a breath. one of the police officer had to throw up. The rest of the officer's had to break the door, cover their noses and enter , as soon as they entered they started searching, and they found him lying in pool of blood . They had to avert their gaze. An ambulance was called , the body was picked to the hospital for autopsy and his parents were called. Now the question is where is his wife? Mr John quickly said he handed her the money when he came to give to jack the money. And now the money is nowhere to be seen so as Anita . As the usual investigation , the neighbors were asked and her neighbor sasha said she saw her leaving the house with a backpack yesterday , she told them all the conversation that went on between them. The police first priority now is to find Anita. so they put on patrol for her search and even gave her picture to the news authority for a handsome rewards. Back at the hospital , when Jack's parents arrived Joseph and Ann , they were told what happened and Ann couldn't control her emotions she started wailing . Joseph had to calm her down while shedding tears himself then she remembered Anita's part, she started raining curses on her nonstop, I told him not to marry this wretched girl but he didn't listen , now look what she did to him , but God will avenge for us , she said while weeping . Anita's parents arrived too as they were told , her father couldn't believe his ears , but her step mother was over the moon. so they came close to Jack's parents to console them .
