There are so many things that are hidden that u don't know of Zara things which are not meant to be said till the time is right Mrs Green tells Zara her first daughter I understand mom I really do but I really need you to tell me this things I can't keep on living my life based on a lie, or a secret just because you don't want to tell me somethings now I noticed since the day my father passed away a lot of strange  things has been happening since dad passed away we have been having sleepless nights,and u have been receiving phone calls in secret and you told me it's because of something my dad had done when he was still alive if he has made some mistakes can't he be forgiven we can't sleep peacefully, walk freely around the neighborhood without us thinking that we might get attacked or kidnapped the most interesting part of it is that we don't even know what he had done, I am really trying to understand why you are hiding this from me, even my sisters can't go to school since my dad's died Mum I know you are thinking that  if u tell us we would get worried or see our father as a different person,  but mom he is no more and even if he was alive we can't anything to him nothing like that will happen atleast from my end here you can  tell me if you don't want to tell my sisters and I promise I won't tell anyone all I just need is your sincerity and why those threat letters are always on our doorsteps Zara responded to  her mother as her mother watched her with some much pity and told that it's only a matter of time then she would get know what happened

Then Zara started to look at her angrily and said a matter of time so that means you want us to wait longer? You want us to have patience while we are getting threats from the person we don't know, Our lives are at risk we don't have anybody to turn to or  anybody to share our problems with.

At that moment Khloe walks in to ask her mum if she could go visit a friend and her mother replied her telling her  a no

Khloe was so upset that she locked herself in her room refused to eat, or talk to anybody for the entire day then Zara went to her mother and started begging her to tell her the hidden truth

All Miss Green Could say is a little patience then she changed the topic to Zara's birthday which was coming up the next month they talked about the decorations they would use the outfits they would order,and how they will style their hair but when Mrs Green was saying all these Zara wasn't paying attention she was lost in thought about who the person could be that is always threatening them and what her father had done then she made up her mind that when next the letter arrived she would reply the person with a letter asking him who he is and what her father had done while she was still thinking about this her mother noticed that she was not there, that she was lost in thoughts

Mum you know my birthday is next month so I wanted to u to do something for me mum, on my birthday I want a birthday gift

What Gift Mrs Green replied

A gift that money can't buy a gift that is worth almost everything to me a gift that will make my life and that of my sisters normal again.

You know that gift mom and u are the only who can give me the gift I have always wanted mom please don't tell me you can't give me this gift

I know what you Are talking about Zara but the time isn't just right I can't tell you now because I know you will go looking fit the person I know all about the person who is giving this threats

You know all about the person and u are not saying or doing anything to stop the person Mom why are you doing this Why are you putting our lives at risk mom Things are not looking good at all its more like we live our lives on fear, Mom no matter how much you hide this I will eventually know Mum all I ask is your utmost sincerity to me please mum I beg of u we can't keep living our lives like this we can't keep living on fear like this If it's a mistake my father made can't it be corrected, did he something that terrible that it doesn't have a solution is he that terrible of a person

Mum please try to understand me put yourself in our shoes we can't walk freely my sisters can't go to school anymore because of this, things became so tough that u had to take Sabrina to my aunt's house and for what reason did u do that because of the fear of her losing her live mom we are so scared to the extent that if u just go it to get food for us to eat we get scared that you won't comwme home or someone would just come and take us away I understand that perhaps what u hiding from us might hurt us but mum the truth still has to Be said

Zara if u can wait till tomorrow you will get to know everything that had happened Mrs Green said

Zara smiled and thanked her mom few minutes after she went to her sister doorstep Khloe and started banging the door and asking Khloe to please come out but Khloe refused and said she won't come out until mom grants her permission to go out. And Zara promises her that if she should eat her food that she would convince their mother to let her go to her friend's house and she also gave a condition stating that she had to follow her or else her mom wouldn't let her go

Khloe kept mute for about 30 seconds and after the moment of silence Khloe agreed and opened the door for her,hugged her and told her she was the best sister and friend in the whole world then they both smiled and headed towards the dinning

On getting there her mother asked her how she managed to bring her out of her room because she knew anytime Khloe was upset she wouldn't listen to anyone until she gets what she wants.

And Zara said it's a sister secret

Then later that night Zara's mother called for her and told her she wanted to speak to her when Zara arrived at the her mother's room her mother told her that what she was about to tell her that it has been a secret between her and her father

Then Mrs Green proceeded saying Zara your father is alive. "Zara was left in shock

Then she started stammering Wh-Wh-Wh-Why did u hide it from us? So where is dad? So who was in the coffin?"

Your father is alive but he is nowhere to be found I was actually planning in telling you this on your birthday but I knew it would really your heart on your special day, Zara i have been looking for your father, even the police has been searching for him, do you remember that evening when your father went for a walk in the park, he wasn't going for a walk he went to meet a man named Bryan. Your father was owing Bryan, the money your father collected from Bryan was what he used to pay the house rent he was supposed to pay back the money in a month time, but then things became really difficult for us, Alot of things changed Zara that both you and your sisters didn't know about the evening before your father disappeared I overheard him talking to Someone and telling the person not to hurt both me and your sisters he also said they could do anything they wanted to with him, but they shouldn't hurt us. Zara the person leaving us threat letters is none other than your Father's brother your father's brother is behind all the things we are facing right now he wanted to get revenge on ur dad over something that happened long ago a contract was given to your father's company and u are aware that you uncle works for your father, and because he was the oldest and his younger brother was successful before him, he became really violent, he started to hate your father, he always tried to do things that will hurt your father or his reputation.

So one day your father got a contract from his client who was in California so he had to fly to California, but he needed one person to come with him so he  chose his brother to come along with him and he agreed on getting there." Guess what your uncle did?

While your father was in the hotel his brother left the hotel and told him that he wanted to go for urgent work and he would be back in an hour. Your father waited for him but he was a no show them few minutes to the presentation your uncle called your dad and started to say disgusting things to him your father was really hurt by the things he said because he said alot of things that your father started to think of what he had done, while your uncle was speaking to your father your father kept mute and at the end of all what he said your uncle rounded it up by saying he hates him and promises to make his life as miserable as he could.

"Mum how did u know all this?

"I have a secret informant she tells me what I need to know". Mum is that the reason Uncle Ben stopped visiting us

Yes Mrs Greene replied their are still other things that need to be said I told u this because you are no longer a child you will be 18 next month so I want you to have an idea of what's going on and my dear Zara there is still more information but ZARA dear I have to warn you if any other person should hear of  this it means

Mrs Greene phone starts ringing and the number is an unknown number she picked up the call and the person tells her that her husband has been held captive

What? "My husband has been held captive?

Immediately she said that Zara looked in her direction and signals her mom to put the phone on speaker then the man speaking to her tells her that if she still loves her husband and wants to see him again that she should pay the price of $10000

$10000 how am I supposed to get that amount of money?

What do u mean by how are you supposed to get that amount of money you are stinky rich, if u share ur riches it won't kill you

"I don't have that much but I'll try my best to source for it

"Whatever

"Please can I atleast speak to my husband

"NO you can do whatever you want to your husband when I get my money in Cash and let me warn you the police shouldn't be involved in this case I'll kill your husband then after that I will kill your daughter Sabrina whose at your sister's house so don't try to mess with me

Ok I would do all you have asked me to do but please let me speak to my husband. Please let me hear his voice Mrs Green said in tears

"Ok you have 1 minute

"Thank you Thank you so much

"Hello

When Mrs Green heard her husband's voice she got more emotional and started crying on the phone her husband who was breathing heavily told her not to give the money to them

"Why shouldn't I give them the money?

"Do u know how much we've really missed you?

Mrs Green said in tears after she said this Mr Green replied saying I will still die either way once you give them the money you wouldn't be able to see me

Zara who was the strong one was already getting emotional that she couldn't hold it anymore to the extent she had to interrupt the call between her mother and while the phone was with she cried out Saying Dad

Her emotions really got the hold of her that she started to cry amidst the tears she told her father we thought you were dead, we mourned over you, we didn't know you were alive. "Dad please come back home",

" We miss you dad please "

At that moment The unknown person said if u want to see your dad again tell your mum to pay the price

"Why are you this heartless?"

"Why are you doing this to us?

"What has my father done to you?

"What has my father done to you?

"What have we done ?

"What have we done?

Zara said these words in tears

You can ask your father this question if you end up seeing him and the man hang the call

Zara was sitted on the rug in her mother's room crying nonstop, Mrs Green who was also crying tried to console her daughter but all to no avail because they were both in tears

Zara cried saying Mom what can we do while using her hand to hit the floor mom it's over how do we get $10000 mum how do we get it mum my sister is not even safe where she is her life is at stake mom her life is at stake Zara said as she keeps hitting the wall her mother tries to stop her from injuring herself but she couldn't her mother was feeling so bad seeing her daughter in pain and couldn't do anything about it they cried through the night and Zara and Mrs Green slept off on the floor

Mom!!! Mom!!! Khloe tries to wake her mother up and saw she was deep asleep and she thought to herself that she would come back to wake her up Then she wakes Zara up silently.

Zara walks out of the room slowly, after she came out of the room she goes over to the living room and starts to stare at her father's picture she was so lost in thought about what happened to her father,Or what he has gone through. Zara was so angry and determined to find her father by all means she was also determined to find the person who was holding her father captive.Meanwhile Khloe was busy calling Zara but she wasn't in the right state of mind on hearing her father's voice she kept on replaying what happened the night before and got emotionally down, Khloe noticed this and asked her what had happened
