There was a silhouette of a woman dressed in a red dress and matching red heels.
Three men were standing in front of her, waiting for her to speak to them and tell them what it was that she wanted them to do for her.
"I sent a picture to your boss and I'm sure you all must have seen it right?" She asked.
"Yes. She is the wife of Adrian Castillo," the man standing in the middle replied.
"Good. Exactly. She is his wife and tomorrow there will be a birthday party for her. I want you guys to take her away and make sure you leave with her and leave no traces," the woman said firmly.
"How do we get access to enter?" The man in the middle asked.
"Here," the lady brought out tags for the men.
"That's your way to enter. Remember to be on the low. Do not make any awareness. I will be communicating with you guys and when the time comes, I will give you signal. The power will be off for five minutes and I want you to use that five minutes properly," the woman warned sternly.
"Yes ma." The man in the middle replied.
"See you guys till then. Your boss will convey all the needed information to you," the woman said before walking away.

SOPHIA CASTILLO
Today is beautiful. I have been smiling since this morning. I felt so glad to have my family around me.
Adrian was yet to come but it's not dark yet and so I am hopeful he will come. He hasn't returned my text since morning and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.
What if he doesn't come? I asked myself.
He will come after all he never breaks his promise, I reminded myself again and refused to be angry so I smiled again.
"It's time to go," Sarah said and I wondered what she meant.
"Well, that's for us to know and for you to find out," she said.
"We are going to have to blindfold you," Annabella added and I stared at them both with a questioning look on my face.
"What are you guys actually planning?" I asked.
"It's still your birthday and there are a lot of surprises for you," Annabella said and I sighed.
The covered my eyes and held my hands so that I could follow their lead while they walked.
"Are you getting into a car?" I asked.
"Yes." Sarah replied.
"We are going to enter a car and take you to somewhere and we do not want you to know where it is that we are taking you," Sarah explained.
"Okay that's fine by me but Adrian will be coming over. He won't know you guys changed plans and I do not want him coming here in vain," I told them.
"Do not worry about Adrian. We are going to inform him so that he knows where it is that he going to come meet us," Sarah answered.
I sighed. He hasn't returned my text and so I wonder if he'd get to see their text on time.
I sat in the middle of Annabella and Sarah in the car. I couldn't see anything and so I rested my head on Sarah's shoulder, waiting for us to get to our location.
"We are here," Sarah squealed in excitement and I took in a deep breath and exhaled.
I wasn't ready for this. I wonder what they had in store for me. I cannot wait to see it all.
I gently came out of the car with Annabella's guidance.
"Slow and steady, we are almost there," Annabella said, holding my hands as she directed me.
"Okay we are here," Sarah announced and I stopped walking.
I took in a deep breath and exhaled as they proceed to remove the blindfold.
"Are you ready?" Sarah asked.
"Surprise!" I heard a lot of voices scream as soon as they removed the blindfold. Everyone looked blurry in my eyes for some seconds before I could clearly see them all in standing in the middle was Adrian with a rose in her hand.
He looked effortlessly handsome as I stared at him. I wasn't expecting him to be here yet. Seeing him sent some much warm feelings down my spine and my stomach rumbled In joy.
I missed him so much. He walked closer to me and I stood just where I was, not caring about anyone and everything besides me but him. My eyes was on him alone and all I wanted to do was hug him.
"Happy birthday baby, I love you," he said with a smile on his face before giving me the rose flower he was holding.
I collected it from his hands.
He leaned down and kissed me on my lips. "Happy twenty first." He said and winked at me and I felt my heart flutter.
He pulled me into a hug and wrapped his arms around me.
He pulled me back from the hug shortly.
"Happy birthday Sophia."
"Happy birthday Sophia."
Everyone I came across with Adrian by my side kept wishing you a happy birthday. It was a hall that Adrian had booked it for my birthday and I was yet to ask him the questions I wanted to.
The hall had been decorated with purple as it was my favorite color. A lot of expensive things were used to decorate the hall and many of the people that attended were people Adrian knew.
I didn't plan to have an extravagant birthday but Adrian had his own plans and so here I am.
"When did you arrive and how long have you been planning all of this?" I asked him.
"I came back this morning. I had the help of your sister for this. We have been making plans before I left," he replied.
I was surprised by his words. "Really? Oh my goodness. I wasn't expecting it and also I thought you might not be able to come to me today. I was a little worried," I informed him.
"I won't be missing your big day for anyone in the world. I wish I could actually be with you earlier but this is fine," he told me.
"Thank you so much for this. I appreciate you," I told him.
I placed my hand on my belly and I remembered that I have to tell him about our baby. I cannot wait to see his reaction but I know that he would be very happy to find out that we are going to have a child.
"Do you have any names you want to give to your child?" I asked.
"Huh?" He sounded surprised, as if he wasn't expecting me to ask him that.
"Yes. Do you have any name you would love to give to our child? Do you want a girl or a boy as first?" I asked.
"Why are you suddenly asking? Do you want to have a baby now?" He asked sounding interested and I smiled.
"Who knows. You know I'm still your baby right? I do not want you having another baby beside me," I said and he pulled my cheek.
"You are just being cheeky. You are my queen and if we have a daughter, she will be my princess. No one is taking you place in my life," he said.
"I do have something I want to tell you though," I said to him with a smile on my face.
"What is it that you want to tell me?" He asked inquisitively.
I took his hand and placed it on my belly.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I'm pregnant Adrian. I am two weeks pregnant." I revealed.
A surprised expression appeared on his face when I revealed that I was pregnant to him.
"Tell me this is a lie. You are lying right?" He asked and I shook my head.
"No, I am not. I am pregnant," I told him.
He pulled me into a hug.
"This is such great news. Thanks so much for this gift my love. Thank you so much. I am so happy. You have made me so happy. I love you so much!" He said with so much excitement on his face.
He pulled me back from the hug and kissed me on the lips.
"I cannot keep this news to myself. I have to let everyone knows. I have to let share this good news," he told me with a smile on his face.
He pulled me together with him and we walked to the podium.
"Hello everyone, can I get your attention?" He said in the microphone.
"Thank you so much. Today is a very special day. It's not just only my wife birthday but also a great day too. I cannot...."
The lights suddenly went off.
Adrian let go of my hand.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I'm coming, I will go see to it," Adrian replied.
"Who is this? Let go of me!" I said but I felt a cloth on my nose. I struggled to get away but their hold was strong on me.
The pulled me away and I struggled until I blacked out.
