When Isabella arrived the location she sat down on one of the chairs then a beautiful slender woman approached her and said "are you Isabella" Isabella said "yes who is asking" the woman then said "i am Ming the journalist" Isabella was relieved she said "thanks for meeting with me can we start".

Ming looked at Isabella who had bruises on her arm and said "did they do this to you" Isabella replied "i said i was going to tell you everything didn't i" Ming then brought a tape recorder, a book and a pen, Ming then said "you may proceed my dear" Isabella told her everything in details from how she met Chidi to how she went to a party and signed a paper to how she started sleeping with rich men and women for money, Ming was not so surprised she said "you would need protection from these people because when this news comes out you would be a target". Isabella was scared she said "what you did not tell me all this over the phone". 

Chapter 33 : Why Me

Tonye went to check on his future wife, he met a sleeping Adaora on the bed, he slowly went to tuck her in and closed the door quietly. Meanwhile Chief Adebayo arrived at the house in the woods only to find his goons tied to the ground, he immediately went to the room were he thought Adaora was being held, he could not find her. 

He went straight to one of the tied goons and asked "you incompetent fools were is she" the tied goons did not answer he said again "you idiots how did she escape" one of the goons said reluctantly "she did not escape she was rescued by some men" Chief Adebayo was so angry he gave one of the goon's a punch to the face, he quickly got into his car started the engine and left.

Adaora's mother woke up the next morning her maids came to attend to her all she could say in tears was "why me why me oh" one of the maids said to her "madam everything would be fine" Kenny walked in on his crying mother in his silk pajamas and said in a calm tone "mom you are still crying its going to be okay Adaora would come back safe and sound" Adaora's mother replied "i hope so my son".

When they arrived the private hotel, Isabella went up to his hotel room she knocked on the door and a huge man with a pot belly answered, Isabella greeted him and the man said "come in and take of your clothes" Isabella was not surprised she came in and did as she was told, the man slapped her and threw to the ground Isabella started crying when he was done he said "put on your clothes and leave now".

Isabella could barely stand up she was so weak with scars all over her body the man then said "you better leave now or would throw you out myself" Isabella quickly put on her clothes and left. 

When she arrived Aisha's place she went to boil hot water in a kettle when it was boiled, she slowly took of her clothes and went into the bathroom, while she was having her bath she thought out loud "this man is so wicked look at my body" when she was done having her bath she came out and went straight to her phone there was a ding she checked the amount it was not complete, Chidi had only sent two hundred thousand dollars again she was so angry she almost threw the phone to the ground.
