"No don't turn we are being monitored, go and never look back, take care of your brothers, I'll be fine I promise" he kisses her by the cheeks before he let go"That was his last words to his daughter, he knew he wouldn't see them again, all he has wished for was going down the lane thanks to Mr Beetle.

He had always wished of walking his daughter down the aisle someday, by handing her over to a capable man, he had been unable to protect his wife but won't repeat the same mistake with his children.

who would have thought his bad luck would endanger his family's life.

Luckily he has a friend who specializes in making passports needed urgently, All of his life savings has been entrusted to his daughter now in the content present in the portrait in his wife's wardrobe. His daughter was really smart even at her young age she always thought of others first before herself, he had watched her grow up and never seen her complain once even when he had nothing to offer her like the rest of the girls he had seen around her, His daughter never once made him regret being her father, he cherished every moment he watched her grow, he prayed she find a man who knows her worth and deserves her.

He has had the intention of taking the kids to their mother's country or his eldest daughter returned from school, but his hope had been shattered when the mayor had come with an offer, he wanted his daughter to choose and decide her destiny.

He knew the mayor was not planning to offer them any hope of choosing, it was by force, how could he tell his daughter that her best friend wasn't what she thought her to be, and Chloe's father was the architect of their misfortune.

A day passed Mr Adams never left his shop, he stayed there buying his children time, before suspicions arose.

The emptiness he felt now was more than the emptiness he felt when he watched his wife dying slowly in pain unable to do anything on the sickbed.

He had watched his wife tell his kids tales of people wishing on the stars, and have watched his daughter take the same role, and he was going to try the same thing now, walking out of his office as he shut the door behind him, he gazed at the stars that had come to blink beautifully at him in the skies, joining his hands together as he had always seen his daughter so he closes his eyes as he murmured some words.

A large fish of wind engulfed him, sending him a lot of shivers, it was true the wind had a spirit in them that takes up wishes to the sky, that exactly was what was happening right now, he had decided to go home now.

Holding the lunch box his daughter had prepared him two days ago he smiled like a crazed fellow," this was his last meal" he thought to himself.

Walking down the lane, he decided to trek, Even though he felt weak and tired.

He had not walked for long when a black SUV Jeep with tinted glass came to park beside him, the door flung open a man with husky features came out of the car, Mr Adams Expression didn't change, he had been expecting this only they were late he chuckled at his thoughts.

The husky fellow came to stand beside Mr Adams as he brought out a gun, pointing it at his waist.

"Get in"The husky man thought Mr Adams would scream and run, he swiftly hit him on the head with the butt of the gun, taking the unconscious Mr Adams into the car.

When He woke up his eyes was met with dark surroundings, his nose scrunched at the metallic taste in the air.

As he tried to stand he realised his hands were tied so was his leg boing with chains earning him a jingle.

"Hello" he shouted hating the darkness he was surrounded in, suddenly the light of the room went up. A young man faced him.

"Mr Adams, you must know why you are here," he asked

"I would like you to cooperate with us" the man who had hit him with the butt of a gun current speaker.

Mr Adams, just stared at them, he knew telling them wasn't what he would do.

"They are safe now" was all he could mutter, his strength was fading quickly than he had expected, he was feeling dizzy so badly.

His word enraged the man before him the more.

He beckoned to one of his subordinates to torture Mr Adams before he left to report the information to his master.

After hours of torture, Mr Adams heard the words he longed for, he so badly wanted to meet his wife and beg for her forgiveness.

His eyes shut themselves as he anticipated quietly what was to come.

His mind began replaying all the moments he had with his wife and children, he wished to see his children, but who knew he would be meeting his wife sooner than he had expected.

He prayed they overcame all the temptation and trials that come their way", I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better life, just be strong for us please, I promise to be strong for you in my next life"those were his last thoughts before he was enveloped by total darkness, as his spirit seeped out of him slowly his body had become lifeless on the floor.

It wasn't a lie when they said the spirit was the maker of man.
