FÓBIDDÉN LOVE EPISODE 6
Taken
Adanna’s scréams were muffled by the cloth tîed tightly over her mouth. Her wrists àched from the ropes diggiñg into her skin as the car sped through dark, unfamiliar roads.
She had no idea where they were going. No idea who was driving. The only sound was the engine and the occasional voice muttering something she couldn’t hear.
Her heart ràced with tèrror.
Was this her brother’s doing? Or had someone even more dàngeróus stepped into the picture?
Eventually, the car stopped. She was dràgged out, blîndfólded, and fórcéd into a damp room. The air smelled of dust and old wood.
Then, silence.
For hours, no one spoke to her.
She crîèd quietly, replaying Damilare’s face in her mind. Were they húrting him too? Would he even come for her now, after the fîght?
She didn’t know.
She only knew she was alone.
The Húnt Begins
Damilare was already at the campus gate when the call came.
It was Chinelo, her voice frantic. “Adanna is mîssing. She didn’t return last night. She’s not answering her phone!”
Damilare’s blóôd turned cold.
He ran to her hostel. Her bed hadn’t been slept in. Her phone was unreachable. None of her classmates had seen her since she left the library the night before.
Panîc set in.
He called everyone he could think of. No one knew anything.
Then, his phone buzzed.
Unknown number.
He picked up immediately. “Hello?”
A distorted voice came through. “If you want her alîve… stay away.”
The line went dead.
Damilare gripped his phone tightly. His instincts told him this wasn’t just about Emeka anymore.
Someone else was involved.
A Sècret Connection
Frústrated and out of leads, Damilare decided to confront the only person bold enough to pull this off—Chief Adeyemi, his own father.
He stormed into his father's study unannounced.
“What did you do to her?” he demanded.
Chief Adeyemi raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?”
“Adanna. She’s been kîdnàpped. Don’t play innocent.”
His father stood. “You think I would stoop that low?”
Damilare’s voice cracked. “I don’t know what to believe anymore!”
Chief Adeyemi sighed. Then he said something that fróze Damilare in place.
“There’s something you don’t know. About her family. About your family.”
“What are you talking about?”
Chief Adeyemi walked to the cabinet, pulled out a dusty envelope, and handed it to him.
Inside were photos. Old ones.
A younger Adanna’s father… standing beside Chief Adeyemi.
Laughing.
Smiling.
Business partners?
Damilare looked up in confusion. “They know each other?”
“They were best friends,” Chief Adeyemi said bitterly. “Until grèed rúîned everything.”
“What happened?”
“They fóught over a land deal years ago. Your girlfriend’s father betràyed me. Stóle everything. I swóre I’d never fórgive him.”
Damilare blinked, stunned. “So… all this… is revèngé?”
“No,” his father said, eyes dark. “It’s jústice.”
Damilare turned to leave.
“I’m going to find her. And if you had anything to do with her disàppearánce—”
“She’s not sàfe,” Chief Adeyemi warned. “Not from your brother.”
Damilare stopped in his tracks. “What?”
But his father said nothing more.
Tràpped
Back in the dusty room, Adanna struggled with her bîndings. Her mind raced with fear and añger.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
She fróze.
Footsteps approached.
Then, the bag was pulled off her héad.
Her eyes adjusted to the dim light—and widened in horror.
It wasn’t Emeka.
It wasn’t her father.
It was someone she had never expected.
Kunle.
Damilare’s older brother.
He smiled cóldly.
“Well, well,” he said, crouching beside her. “You caused quite a storm, didn’t you?”
“Why are you doing this?” she whispered.
“Because my brother is a fool. Falling for someone like you. Déstróying our family’s reputation. I’m here to clean it up.”
Her voice trembled. “What are you going to do to me?”
He leaned closer.
“That depends on whether you’re smart… or stûbbórn.”
The Clock Ticks
Meanwhile, Damilare’s search led him to someone unexpected—an old family driver, who once worked for both the Adeyemis and Adanna’s father.
The man hesitated but eventually spoke.
“I know where she might be. There’s a farmhouse… one your father used to use during pólitical campaigns. It’s off the expressway.”
Damilare didn’t wait.
He grabbed his keys and sped off, heart ràcing, a single thought búrning in his mind:
“Please, let her be alívé.”
The Cliffhanger
Night fell.
Adanna sat alone in the cold room, her hope dràíning by the minute.
But then… footsteps again.
Voices outside the door.
The k**b turned.
And in walked Kunle—with a syrînge in his hand.
She gasped.
“Don’t worry,” he said with a smile. “You won’t feel a thing.”
Just as he stepped forward, the door behind him burst open.
And standing there, brèathless and wide-eyed—
Damilare.
