episode one

"Hurry, get out of the car" Maria shouted to the kid at the back of her,

she has collided with one of the thick tree's.

when she saw that her daughter wasn't getting out she shouted again.,

"Take your brother and get out" Maria screamed at the top of her voice.

scarlet did as she was told she held her brother and stepped out of the car, tears were already running down her eyes. she stood beside the car in front of her mother.

"run, don't turn back just keep running" Maria cried out when she noticed the car was gonna blow at any point, she tried her best to get out but she was stuck, and the area was a really quiet one, no one was around.

scarlet immediately took her brother and started running away from the car, she was only 7 years old and her brother Billy was 5.

she turned back when she suddenly heard the loud sound of explosion, the car blew up, she remembered what her mother said and she continued walking away with tears in her eyes.

After getting a little bit far from the car, she saw a bench at the corner and she sat on it with Billy by her side.

She kept chanting

"mummy" all over again. she couldn't stop her tears, she sat there waiting and hoping someone would come for her, she waited for her daddy to come pick them up.

Hours later no one came for them, she kept crying out calling out her daddy, but no one came to her rescue.

meanwhile Billy was just staring at his sister crying, unaware of what was happening.

Three years later

"Aren't you going to look for your kids. it's been three years already, but you have shown no interest in searching for Maria and her children" Mirabella said with a little hint of anger in her voice.

she remembered how she had introduced her friend Maria to her brother, but she always regretted that day because Maria life was ruined afterwards.

"sis, she left with her kids isn't it better this way, at least I don't have to hide anything from my wife, i don't have to share my self anymore,i was tired of it already,besides she said she was going to take care of her kids by herself. "

"I warned you, that you following women around is going to land you in trouble and now you are trying to hide your mistake" Mirabella said she was really pissed off.

she had warn him to stay away from her friend but he didn't listen, he got her pregnant and Maria who was foolishly in love allowed herself to get pregnant for the second time.

"sis, shouldn't you be happy for me" frank said,not taking his eyes off his laptop. Frank was one of the most successful business man in the whole of the country, he wasn't going to let a mere woman and her children destroy his hard earned money and fame.

"May God forgive you" that was all Mirabella said before she shut the door of his office to his face.

Mirabella was highly frustrated, she didn't understand how things got to this, she sat on the sofa in her living room, she screamed and cried, her best friend Maria she thought.

she had warned Maria about the consequences of going out with a married man. Maria agreed to let go of Frank when she found out he was married, but it was too late because she was already pregnant for Frank. her parent had drove her out claiming she would ruin their name, Maria dad was a share holder in her brothers company, it was obvious that they didn't like Frank one bit,Mirabella has taken care of her pregnant friend,

she remembered how Maria mother had begged her husband to bring back their daughter because she couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer like that,although he agreed but only with the condition that she would stay away from Frank.

she did, she really did but even Mirabella didn't know how she got pregnant for him again.

Mirabella cried she took the pillow on top of the sofa and hit the sofa with it, that was how much she loved her friend.

she promised herself that she was going to find her and her kid, no matter what she will.

The next day.

"Here, this is my friend, I want you to look for her, I don't care, do what you have to even if you have to turn the world upside down, just bring her here" Mirabella said handling the picture of Maria to the man she had employed, the police were useless.

"yes Ma. what about my cash"

" I would transfer them to your account, just do what you have to, money is not a problem."

After their conversation the man left for the airport, it was possible Maria left the country, isn't that the first thing they do when they want to get away. Money was his only problem, looking for someone who left no trace behind will be difficult but, the money was important to him, hence he was willing to do anything.

on his way there his phone rang, it was an unknown number.

After the person on the other line ended the call, said man reversed his car and decided to head home.

"guess today is my lucky day after all. "
