Ch. 49WHO IS A FRIEND


Stella and Becky are already set for the hotel where they will receive Becky's boyfriend. Unfortunately for Stella , she's about to embark on a journey that will ruin her life completely. Jeff has had that Stella is getting married to a big and prominent man. He swore to get back at her to ruin her, and in achieving this evil scheme, he brought Becky into the picture. He knows that both of them were close and it will be easy to get her through Becky. Becky, who is a jerk and full of obnoxiousness, bent on accusing everyone for her misfortunes.
Although it was very hard for her to accept the offer from Jeff. As much as she envies Stella, Stella has not done anything wrong to her. But not after she had received two million naira (#2,000,000)a whopping sum of money from Jeff to bring Stella to him.

After all said and done, Becky accepted on the condition that she will receive part of the money first then after the job she received her balance. Jeff accepted and actually sent one million naira to her.

That was how she came up with this plan of asking Stella to accompany her to the hotel to receive her boyfriend that was based in Spain.

Few minutes later, Stella and Becky arrived at Transcorp hotel, a five star hotel, renowned for its luxurious accommodations, exceptional services and the likes. It is one of the biggest if not the most biggest hotel in Abuja

Few hours later, the friends are already in their hotel room. Stella got carried away by the magnificent building and the air conditioner that was oozing out from the room. The two friends are now snuggled up in bed with their drinks.

Babe you really have an eye for good things. Stella said already feeling happy for her friend.

Stop flattering me, anyway I take that as a compliment. Remember you haven't seen him so we can't co conclude yet. Anyway thank you, she managed to laugh.

My dear I know that I haven't seen him but if the picture you showed me is the same guy then you have something more than gold. Stella chuckled and both of them laughed..

(Jack calling Stella)

Hello dear, I just noticed you are not in the house, where are you?
Jack asked, already feeling disturbed. Yet Stella can't tell him that she's in the hotel with Becky, it won't go down well with him.

Babe I am in Becky's house, am actually about to start coming. Stella lied.

But you know we schedule a meeting with our friends for their measurements and some of them are here waiting for you.. Jack said almost angrily.

Am sorry dear, I will be coming with her, in fact we want to start coming now…

You have to, honestly, I am disappointed. I don't expect this attitude from you.

Am sorry dear i'm coming now. She was. still saying something but Jack angry hung up the call.

Babe my husband is really angry, you know I told you about the measurement and now they are waiting for me already. Please let's go if this guy is not coming.
Stella said without comfort.

Please calm down. I really really understand, he's already on his way trust me. Becky said, trying to pacify her friend.

He better be coming because I'm not spending 20 mins here..( on hearing that, Becky texted Jeff. Hey monster we are about leaving the hotel to airport, be at alert”)

After a while Becky told her that her fiance insisted they come to the airport to pick him instead.

This is nonsense, sorry girlfriend I can't do this anymore. I want to go home, we should meet him in the airport but you told me he's on his way. So meaning all the time we wasted here to wait for him are all in vain? Stella sounded so angrily.

I am sorry that's actually what he told me, in fact this guy is really crazy I mean we have really spent a lot of time waiting for him here. You know what, let's go home, let's go. Becky said, in her face was reception.

Yes let's go, you have tried, let him come over to the house. Yes that's true, they picked their few items and they exited the hotel premises.

The two ladies already in the car going home, Stella was steering. She was cutting the pothole in the front when a black GLE mercedes-benz surfaced and crossed them.
Immediately three well- built, broad shoulders, came out from the vehicle and
ordered them to pull over, Stella obeyed without thinking twice after seeing the pistol. They pushed them into the car while one of the guys drove along. They carried them to a secluded place such as they haven't seen before in their entire life.
Stella tried to shout but it was too late, they collected their phone and tied their mouths.
About one hour later, they arrived in an unknown location.

Stella was still agitating to at least say something, she noticed that Becky was acting unconcerned. She used her body to push her which indicated that she should at least express her discomfort over the situation.

Stella and Becky began to disturb, almost constituting nuisance. Agitated to be free, one of the kidnappers has to untie their mouth, leaving their legs and hands tied.

Stella and Becky cough for a while before they clear their throats.

What exactly is going on here, what am I doing here?
And who the hell are you guys working for? Stella questions in anger and authority.

Wao Is the guts for me? One of the guys asked rhetorically as he went on.
Big mouth ( referring to stella) you have to be very careful you are running your mouth like a loose tap, don't worry very soon you will shut your mouth by yourself.

And who the hell do you think you are? Do you know who you are talking to?
I don't have time for this nonsense.

( Becky pretending to be scared she kept tapping Stella to stop talking rudely to the kidnappers)

Who cares who they are, I don't have time for this nonsense tell me who sent you and your amount.

I have been tolerating your rubbish, you must learn to keep your mouth shut here else I will use this gun on you and trust me nobody can trace it. He went on, the problem with you people is money. Money all the time, I am warning you for the last time else you will not believe your eyes.

Okay but sir Becky went on…are we going to remain like this? Show us who sent you. At Least we could know the ransom he demands for our release.

I am sorry for whatever I have said to you that you didn't like, you see, maybe you don't know what is at stake here. This weekend is my wedding, and I should be at home now. So whoever sent you after us I believe it was a mistake . We are certainly not the people you are looking for.

My friend, keep your mouth shut, oh you can speak politely all of a sudden right? Don't worry when the time comes you will explain better.

They were still talking when Jeff walked in, wearing black and black. Stella couldn't believe what she's seeing, immediately she grabbed Becky. Becky, you set me up?
Becky you could conceive this wickedness in your heart?
She was still crying and wailing when the boys abruptly slapped her and commanded her to keep mute. .

Jeff looked at her and began to laugh at her scornfully.
You know I took my time to come up with a better script for your wedding. And I titled it: IN A LUXURIOUS NIGERIAN WEDDING .. Jeff went on. .
picture a sprawling estate transformed into a fairy tale setting. Ornate tents adorned with cascading flowers and twinkling lights house guests who arrive in sleek luxury cars. The air is filled with the scent of exotic blooms as guests mingle, dressed in elaborate traditional attire and glamorous Western ensembles. The ceremony takes place under a canopy draped with sumptuous fabrics, with the couple exchanging vows amidst a backdrop of lush gardens or shimmering water features. Afterward, guests indulge in a feast of gourmet Nigerian and international cuisine, served on intricately decorated tables. The celebration continues into the night with live music, energetic dancing, and fireworks lighting up the sky, creating a truly magical atmosphere for the newlyweds and their guests..

Exactly what you want and expect, right?
