once upon a time there lived a very beautiful woman who lived in the quiet city of enugu her name was on and she was a busy caterer who catered For numerous events in the city despite being a big caterer on had no car of her own she would struggle daily with public transportation carrying food trays and supplies in her hands whilst navigating through the B city of enugu it was so exhausting but never let her struggles affect her passion for cooking one day she was hired to cater for the exclusive dinner at the residence of

CHA for one of the wealthiest men in the city his Mansion sat on the outskirts of town making it difficult for oi to easily transport the food that she had prepared she hired a taxi to the event and even then the driver had to stop multiple times to refall his car and navigate his way through police checkpoints by the time she arrived Chief's residence she was breathless and drenched in sweat despite the struggle on put on a bright smile as she said the guests with Grace the aroma of her dishes filled the air and soon

every guest was singing praises about her cooking cha was so impressed by her dedication however he could not help but notice her obvious struggles at the end of the event as on was waiting for her taxi to arrive cha called her aside and commended her for the job well done you did an amazing job tonight on he said with a warm smile on his face however I noticed how difficult it was for you to get here he said to UNI revealing that a KRA like her should have a reliable means of transportation on nodded knowing

that Chief had a point she revealed to him that she was currently saving up money to get a car and chief smiled and gestured towards his garage where several luxury cars were parked he pointed to a black SUV one of the many vehicles that he hadly ever used take it he simply said to Oi whose eyes widen in disbelief Chief this is too much oh on said as Chief assured her that it was nothing his garage was already filled with exotic cars and chief being an extremely wealthy man barely used them all you can have

it on or leave it here and let it keep Gathering dust he said to O who dropped to her knees in gratitude thank you sir may God bless you abundantly she said as she rushed into the car in excitement on drove the car home that night reeling in shock when she arrived home her friends gathered around the car with their eyes wide in disbelief on is this really yours her friend Uchi asked running a hand over the car yes so cha gifted it to me she said as everyone opened their mouth in shock for days

on admired the car feeling her life had taken a miraculous turnone she no longer had to struggle with public transport and business would now be much easier a week later on received an order for a large event in a neighboring Town excited she decided to take the car for its first catering delivery as she drove through the quiet Street something odd happened the car's radio suddenly switched on by itself at first when he thought it was a glitch but then she heard a strange whisper coming from the car radio calling out a certain address repeatedly

on thought that it was her mind messing with her seeing that she didn't have enough rest at night because of the huge orders that she had to prepare she continued driving and then suddenly the car Jagged violently causing her heart to keep a bit the steering wheel became stiff and before she could react the car came to a complete stop not today only grumbled in frustration as her customer called her repeatedly to know where she was with the food the event is about to start where are you her customer asked as only looked around for

the address where the car had stopped her the straet sign at the corner caught her eye and a chill ran down her spine it was the exact address that she she had heard repeatedly on the car radio her hands trembled as she checked the map on her phone there was no mistake she had never been here before yet piika had brought her straight to this place on swallowed hard as she wondered what this could mean she looked around but nothing seemed suspicious did the car bring me here she asked herself as she wondered what everything

meant filled with so much Curiosity on decided to approach the addess to see what she could find she approached the house which looked well taken care of a car was parked outside and on could hear voices in the house she knocked on the door and a young man answered on knowing how awkward it was to knock on a stranger's door without any reasonable explanation quickly apologized for disturbing him I'm so sorry to disturb but my car stopped right in front of your house and I wanted to see if maybe you knew a mechanic nearby the

young man's expression changed instantly his friendly smile faded and he took a step back looking past uni at the black SUV packed by the roadside you came in that car he asked oi who could sense a bit of fear in his voice on stood there and watched as the young man wared her never to come close to him again he banged the door to her face leaving on in complete shock on stood there Frozen staring at the clo close door her heart pounded in her chest what just happened why has this man reacted like this

she asked herself as she turned back to her car feeling so uneasy the road was quiet the air thick with tension something was definitely wrong and on could sense it taking a deep breath she pulled out her phone which was now ringing on picked up the call I heard a strange voice which commanded her to run filled with so much Terror on rushed to the car and immediately the car came on she drove quickly to the venue and met her angry customer who gladed at her angrily with her arms crossed on what kind of behavior

is this the customer said angrily as on stammered and apology to her and began to unload the food from her car on could feel a cold sweat trickle down her back her entire body was filled with extreme fear as she pondered on what to do the thought of driving the car back to her house terrified her greatly but only was left with no choice she could not abandon the car in her customer's home but knew that she had to do something about it she summoned all the courage that she could get and got into the

car deciding within herself to return it to Chief as she drove the car along the road on felt a strange movement in the car she tried to figure out what was happening when hundreds of worms crawled from beneath the car and covered her entire body body on was so terrified she screamed at the top of her voice as she swept the car uncontrollably her vision blood with fear and her hands shook as she tried to maintain control of the steering wheel the worms crawled over her arms her face her legs everywhere their tiny cold body

sent chills down her spine she slammed her foot on the bricks and the car screeched to a stop in the middle of the road panting heavily she threw open open the door and jumped out brushing frantically at her body but when she looked down there was nothing no worms no movement her chest Rose and fell rapidly as she tried to catch her breath was she losing her mind the car's headlights flickered and then the voice returned get in it said as only gasped stepping away from the car she turned to run but her legs refused

to move it felt as though something was holding her in place tears wed up in her eyes she had to get away she had to take the car back to Chief and demand answers summoning every ounce of courage she forced herself back into the car the moment she sat down the doors locked automatically she pounded on the window screaming but there was no one around to help her then the car started moving on its own on clutched the steering wheel but it wouldn't turn the pedals wouldn't respond too she was trapped the car picked up

speed heading straight for the outskirt of town she had no idea where it was taking her until the car came to a complete stop to her amazement when found herself back at the strange house from Elia the car was pked in front of the house on could feel her hands tremble as she sat in the car staring at the house whose door seemed to be slightly open slowly she stepped out of the car and walked towards the house on could hear her heart beating through her chest she arrived the door and gently pushed it open

for her to walk in the house was completely silent as on made her way through the hall as she moved from one room to the other on could not understand why the car had brought her to the house again was there something that wanted her to see or was there some unfinished business TI to the house she thought to herself when suddenly she heard a car pull over in the driveway on rushed to hide and she couldn't let whoever it was find her wandering around the house she hid in the wardrobe as the door of

the house shut closed from the distance on could not risk being caught she held her breath as she peeped through the Wardrobe door hoping to see or hear something when suddenly the bedroom door swung open and the young man from Elia walked in he looked so terrified as he died a number on his phone the phone rang repeatedly and after several trials the person on the other end picked the call on could feel the tension in the room she wish she could hear what they were saying but they spoke in a different language that made

it impossible for her to understand the man's hands trembled as he spoke his voice was filled with fear as he kept glancing towards the window terrified on remained completely still her heart pounding in her chest she dared not to move and she could not risk being caught then the conversation stopped and the man immediately grabbed his keys and left the house on could not beat the feeling that something was up she jumped out of the Wardrobe and peeed through the window where she saw the man staring at the car in Terror On's breath hitched she

ducked behind the curtains watching as the man cautiously Circle the black SUV he said expression filled with fear and uncertainty his fingers grazed the hood as he stepped back as though the car might come alive at any moment after a few tense seconds he glanced over his shoulder as if checking if anyone was watching then hurriedly got into his car and drove off in panic on let out a shaky breath she had to know what was going on summoning every ounce of courage she tiptoed out of the house and approached the SUV on hesitated as

her hand hovered over the door handle she thought of if it was a good idea to get back into the car will the car trap her again she thought to herself when suddenly the car trunk popped open on its own Oni was so petrified her entire body shook as she approached the trunk compelled by a mix of dread and curiosity she stepped forward and peered inside the trunk a chill ran down her spine as she caught sight of a Blood Stained scarf inside the trunk on could feel a cold shiver run down her spine she

stared at the scarf and wondered if the scarf had anything to do with the strange things that had been happening on at this point could not take it any longer she got into the car determined to return the car back to Chief she drove for hours terrified that something strange would happen but nothing did just as she was about turning into Chief's clothes on caught sight of the strange man again driving out of Chief's house her entire body froze as so many thoughts ran through her mind her hands trembled on the stering wheel as she

wondered what the strange man was doing in Chief's house did Chief know what connection did they have these were the questions that lingered in On's mind as she decided to return home to think things true she needed to to gather more information before confronting chief that night sleep eluded only CHS and turn in bed as the event of the past few days reped in her mind the car the strange man the address it was all connected but on could not figure out how by morning she decided to visit the one person who she believed would

have answers on drove the car hesitantly to an old me whose name was Baba j a well respected man in the city who had great connections and access to information Oni remembered how Baba helped her friend Uchi to find the man who stole her car at gunpoint even the police after days of Investigation could not fish him out but Baba J using his connections found the cprit after a few phone calls on knew that if anyone could deafer what had happened happen it would be him she drove into his mechanic workshop and Baba J was

so shocked to see her he wiped his grezy hands on his overall and approached her asking where she got the car and un narrated the whole story to him how Chief had gifted her a car that had now turned to her worst nightmare Baba J listened as his face darkened my daughter he began in a low voice this car has a very dark story a story I believe that you haven't been told Oni could feel her heart pound through her chest what do you mean she asked gripping her hands tightly Papa J sighed heavily and

told her to follow him into his Workshop he searched through a pile of old newspapers and pulled out one from the stack he spread it out for oie tapping his finger on a particular headline On's eyes widen as she scanned the article a young woman identified as Chinelo okao the only daughter of Chief EMA okao had vanished Without a Trace 5 years ago the report revealed that Chinelo was last seen driving the black SUV On's breath caught in her throat as she remembered the blood stain scarf she found at the trunk of the car Baba

J narrated the story to her it was believed that cha had a hand in The Disappearance of his daughter many believed that he used his daughter for ritual because of the amount of wealth he amassed shortly after her disappearance others believed that the car was a part of the sacrifice because his daughter disappeared on the same day that he got her the car on his entire body turned cold the pieces of the puzzle were starting to fall into place and the truth was far more terrifying than she had imagined she returned home and met her

friend Uchi who could not help but notice the terror in her eyes Uchi frowned placing a hand on On's shoulder as she asked what the problem was on swallowed hard her voice shaking as she spoke Uchi cha he sacrificed his own daughter uchi's eyes widen in horror what are you sure nodded Papa J showed me an old newspaper chin was her name and she was Chief's only daughter who vanished 5 years ago the last time she was seen she was was driving this same car people believe Chief used her for rituals and that this car

breath she had nothing to lose and decided to give it a shot the next day on devised a means to meet with Lady former she paid for a SP session and purposely placed herself next to Lady former to enable her have a conversation with her lady Forma was seated comfortably in the spa her eyes closed as the Muse walked on her shoulders on Sat comfortably next to her as Alli began to massage her own shoulders then they began to have a conversation about Chief pretending not to know who lady former was men like chiefa think

they can do anything and get away with it she said casually as lady for eyes snapped open she turned slightly glancing at on what do you mean she asked her voice C but lace with curiosity Uchi continued her massage as if she hadn't noticed the tension in the air on hesitated for a moment before responding to Lady former I've heard stories about him dark stories but you know how people gossip in this city lady former scoffed people have always been talking about my husband for years they say he's involved in all sorts of things but

no one ever has proof on swallowed hard this was her chance she lowered her voice and said to Lady former that she had proof lady former froze and slowly turned to look at on her expression unreadable what proof On's hands trembled slightly she leaned closer his daughter Chinelo the car she disappeared in it's in my possession and I found something in the carard that will prove that Chief was the one responsible for his daughter's death lady for at this point sat up looking so interested in her Revelation she asked for full details assuring only that

and rushed off to her house to her greatest surprise the car was no longer parked in her driveway On's heart dropped she Spa around frantically searching the compound the black SUV was gone Panic suchar through her veins had she found out had someone stolen the car or was had the car moved on its own she rushed back inside and grabbed her phone dialing uchi's number with trembling fingers Uchi the car is gone oh she whispered in horror what Oli asked shockingly as she asked if she left her gate open no I locked everything Bo not

here Uchi the car is gone Uchi was silent for a moment only listen get out of that house now come to my place immediately on did not hesitate she grabbed her p and bolted out of the house fear gripped her like a vice as she held a passing tricycle and instructed the driver to take her straight to uchi's house by the time she arrived her hands were shaking uncontrollably Uchi put her inside and locked the door did anyone see you Uchi asked as on shook her head her breath ragged I don't think so but Uchi

what if Chief knows what if he took the car or maybe the car moved on its own on could not help but Shake in fear that car wasn't normal it had led her to that strange house it had locked her inside it had whispered to her now it was gone Without a Trace we need to tell lady former Uchi said firmly without wasting time they doubted lady former's number and she picked up almost immediately have you secured the evidence she asked urgently as only swallowed hard and revealed to her that the car was missing a

sharp intake of breath came from the other end what do you mean missing I packed it at my house it was there but now it's gone R former's voice dropped to a whisper she urged only to hide revealing that her husband had been acting strangely since morning he left the house in a rush this morning after receiving a phone call Lady for said to Oni who felt a lum form in her Troth she was so terrified of what Chief would do to her and began to think of what to do next just as they sat

there confused lady former called up her phone again to reveal that Chief had sent some men after them un listen to me I think my husband sent his men after you you need to disappear she said as she hung up the phone on and her friend Uchi began to tremble they could not let Chiefs men meet them in the house so they picked up a few items and scampered for safety just as they were about running out of the house a group of armed men stormed into the house and cut them Oni froze as the

armed men stormed in their hearts pounded wildly there was nowhere else to run don't move one of the men backed he's gone in directly at them he walked towards them lowering his gaze when he suddenly saw Onan froze in shock Madame he said excitedly as only looked at him confused do I know you she asked the man who pulled down his mask to reveal his face on could not believe her eyes before her was a man who she had once helped years ago when she catered for a huge event a hungry looking man approached her

to beg for food his clothes were tattered and his face was sunken with Hunger un gave him a large portion of food and even packed some extra for him to take home now the same man was standing before her with a gun in his hand you helped me once he said lowering his weapon completely you gave me food when I had nothing he continued as only swallowed hard wondering what her Fai would be now that she had seen his face the other armed men looked at their boss in confusion they asked what they should do

with them and their boss ordered that they be released on still trembling in fear asked the man why Chief wanted them dead and the man revealed to her that he didn't work for chief on and her friend Uchi looked at each other Stone as only asked him who he worked for the man shook his head as he stared right at her I work for someone else someone who is even more dangerous a chill round down on spine as she who it was the man hesitated glancing at his men then he lowered his voice and revealed

that he walked for lady former On's heart stopped what she asked shocked to her marrow on could not believe what she was hearing all the while she believed Chief was behind The Disappearance of his daughter not knowing that the woman that she so trusted was the Devil in Disguise on could not help but wonder why cha he's the one everyone believes is responsible for Chino's disappearance the man shook his head as he looked her right in the eyes that's what she wanted everyone to believe you mean lady former was behind it all the man nodded

in agreement lady for planned everything Chinelo was never really her daughter un felt the air leave her lungs what do you mean the man's face was Grim the day lady former give bir she lost her child the baby didn't survive but no one knew not even Chief she paid off a nurse at the hospital to switch her dead child with another newborn baby On's knees felt weak she stumbled gripping uchi's arm for support the man continued that newborn was Chinelo she was never really Chief's daughter but Chief loved her like she was he adored her

he raised her with so much love and affection whilst lady former was filled with jealousy on felt sick she was jealous of her own daughter on asked shockingly as the man corrected her saying that lady former was jealous because Chinelo wasn't her daughter Chief favored Chinelo over everyone including his own wife he wrote his wheel and left everything to Chinelo and Lady former could not stand the thought of a complete stranger inheriting all that her husband had worked for Uchi gasped that's why she killed her the man noded the former could not stand it she

had lived in Chief Shadows for years and now everything was about to go to a girl who wasn't even her real daughter she knew she had to eliminate Chinelo before the truth came out on clutched her chest as she asked about the haunted car and the man revealed to her that Chinelo was killed inside that car I was there when it happened and it was so painful to watch Tears wed up in On's eyes as she wondered how we a woman would be to kill a child that she raised as her own she had to

make lady former pay for her wrong and pleaded with the man to help help me bring her down or else she will come after us all she said to the man who handed her an envelope with some pictures and an address showing where Chinelo was buried when un looked at the address she realized that it was the same address where the strange car had taken her to it all began to make more sense to on who took the photos the police police the moment un handed the envelope to the police everything changed the officer in

charge carefully examined the photographs his expression darkened as he asked where she got the photos on swallowed hard revealing that she got it from someone who used to work for lady former the officer exchanged glances with his colleague if this is true lady former has more blood on her hands than we ever imagined immediately he picked up his radio and called for backup that night a team of officers surrounded the house where Chinelo was buried they moved in silently flashlight cutting through the darkness the Eerie quiet of the backyard sent CHS down on spine as

she stood with Uchi watching from a distance then they started digging the first thing they uncovered was a piece of fabric which was badly stained with blood moments later the officers uncovered a body in a shallow grave the discovery sent shock waves through the city the story broke on the news and chiefa was invited for questioning but when he was confronted with the truth he was as shocked as everyone else in the room I didn't kill my daughter he insisted revealing to them that all these years he believed that his daughter had run away what

he did not know was that his wife killed their daughter because of her selfish interest the Revelation spread like wildfire and within hours a nationwide man hunt was launched for lady former however she had already gone into hiding the police readed her Mansion her private office and even the luxury SP where she often visited yet there was no trace of her it was as if she had vanished Into Thin Air days passed and investigation deepened the police uncovered shocking details that lady former had not acted alone there was a man man a mysterious figure who

had been seen with her in recent meetings a man who had been withdrawing large sums of money from her account and most importantly the man who had fled the strange house when un first arrived there the police realized that this man wasn't just an accomplice he was her lover for years while cha believed he was in control of his household lady former had been running a secret affair with this man a man man whose name was Maxwell opina Maxwell was no ordinary Lover he was a cunning and dangerous man who had been helping lady former

cover of her crimes for years together they had planned Chelo's mother together they had buried her and together they had disappeared but on was hellbent on finding them she approached Baba J who promised to find them for her with his network of informant it didn't take long before lady for and her lover were tracked down they were hiding in a secluded Villa on the outskirts of town under false identities believing that they were Untouchable but on was determined to bring them to justice she passed the information to the police who initiated a CT operation to

apprehend them in the dead of the night the police Ted The Villa and surrounded the property inside the former Maxwell were enjoying a quiet evening completely unaware of the Doom that loomed over them the moment they heard the police break through the front door they jumped up in panic lady former boled for the back door but she was met with a row of armed officers whose guns were now drawn towards her there was nowhere to run the lead officer said as her lover grabbed a gun from the table ready to fight his way out but

before he could fire an officer tackled him to the ground disarming him in an instant as lady former was being handcuffed she turned to her lover who blamed her for all that happened lady former could not believe that he was hipping the blame on her after everything that happened between them she opened up to the police about other crimes that he committed in a bit to save herself but the police were not ready to set her free they were held bent on making them pay for their crimes the officers dragged them apart their shouts feeding

into the night as they were thrown into separate police vehicles on watched from a distance standing beside Uchi as her hands trembled however her heart was at peace knowing that Justice had finally been served as the police Convoy disappeared Into the Night a cold gust of wind blew past Oni making her shiver she turned her gaze to the black SUV which was packed in front of the house for the first time since the nightmare began the car was silent no Whispers no strange voices and most importantly no warm SC crawling from the Shadows on exhaled

shakily knowing one thing for sure that Chinelo Spirit had finally found peace that was how a crime of over 5 years was solved by a woman who only wanted a car to make her walk easier the lesson to be learned from these story is that nothing remains hidden forever truth always finds a way to surface no matter how deeply buried it is Lady former believed she could erase her crime for fate had other plans for her justice may take time but it always arri often through the most unexpected means and another lessons that acts of

kindness can come back in ways we never expect Only Selfless Act of feeding a Hungry Man years ago ultimately saved her life it's a reminder that even the smallest good can have a lasting impact lastly greed and jealousy only lead to destruction lady former envy and desire for wealth led her to commit an unforgivable crime but in the end she lost everything no matter how much we desire power or riches when we obtain them through evil means they will eventually become our downfall I hope you enjoyed the story
