The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 61: The Long Road Home
The rain had eased to a fine mist.Dark clouds still hung low over the quarry, but the violent storm had passed, leaving the ground slick with mud and scattered pools of water.Patricia stood beside Obadiah's lead vehicle.Her mind was no longer in the quarry.It was already at Kilele Estate.With Glen.With Faith.She closed her eyes for a moment.Please don't let me be too late.Inspector Bethwel Kanda walked over."I understand why you want to leave."Patricia looked at him."But I need you to trust me for another five minutes."She searched his face."Five minutes?"He nodded."If Alex is right—and he usually is—someone is trying to force us into making a mistake."Patricia exhaled slowly."I know."She looked down at her hands."But I'm their mother, Inspector.""My heart isn't thinking like an investigator."Bethwel smiled sympathetically."I wouldn't expect it to."A few metres away, Alison watched Patricia in silence.Until now, she had admired Patricia's courage.Now she saw
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 60: Beneath Kilele
The realization settled over the quarry with frightening clarity.Obadiah's estate...Had never simply been a safe house.It had been built above another entrance to the underground network.For several long seconds, only the rain could be heard.Then Bethwel spoke."Did you know?"His question was directed at Obadiah.The billionaire answered without hesitation."No."Joel looked at him carefully."I believe him."Korir, however, laughed."That's the irony."Everyone turned toward him."You've all spent years believing Obadiah Waore was one of the architects of this conspiracy."He smiled mockingly."When in truth...""...he has been living on top of it."Obadiah's face darkened."If you're trying to unsettle me..."Korir interrupted."I'm trying to educate you."He slowly walked toward the edge of the quarry."Do you know why your grandfather was allowed to purchase Kilele Estate in 1952?"Obadiah frowned."It was auctioned."Korir nodded."Officially."He looked back."Unofficially

The flashing red dot pulsed on the tablet screen like a heartbeat.Nobody spoke.Patricia stared at it."No..."she whispered.Obadiah took the tablet from his guard.His face remained unreadable, but his grip tightened ever so slightly."Confirm the coordinates."The guard's fingers flew across the rugged tablet.Three seconds later, he looked up."Confirmed."He swallowed."It's Kilele Estate."Patricia's knees weakened.The words struck her harder than the explosions at the quarry.Kilele Estate.The secluded ranch where Glen and Faith had been taken after the attack on her home.Her children.Alison immediately caught Patricia before she stumbled."They'll be alright."Patricia nodded automatically.But inside...She wasn't convinced.For the first time since Mercy had disappeared...Her instincts as a mother overwhelmed every logical thought.She no longer cared about Grace.Or the Genesis File.Or hidden tunnels.Only two small faces filled her mind.Glen...Faith...She remembe
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 58: A Mother's Instinct
Rain continued to fall over the quarry.The furious downpour had softened into a steady drizzle, but everyone was soaked to the skin. Water streamed from broken cliffs into the flooded excavation below, carrying away loose gravel and the last wisps of concrete dust from the explosion.For the first time since dawn, neither side moved.Korir's officers remained behind their vehicles.Obadiah's security detail held their positions behind heavy machinery.The sniper fire from the western ridge had stopped as abruptly as it had begun, leaving only an uneasy silence.It was the kind of silence that made experienced men expect another storm."Alex."Obadiah's voice was firm.The young man turned."You need to change."Alex looked down at himself.The cement-stained overall clung heavily to his body. Rainwater had washed away much of the dust he had deliberately rubbed into the fabric, exposing patches of faded blue beneath. His old sports shoes squelched with every movement."I'm fine."Oba
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 57: The Rain That Chose Sides
The strip of photographic film danced wildly in the air."No!"Alex lunged forward instinctively.His fingertips missed it by inches.The wind caught it again, carrying it over the broken edge of the quarry as rain poured from the heavens in thick, blinding sheets.For one terrifying second...Everyone forgot the rifles.Forgot Korir.Forgot the bunker.Forgot the Genesis File.Every eye followed the tiny strip twisting helplessly against the grey sky."Get it!"Korir shouted.Half a dozen officers sprinted toward the edge.At the same moment, Obadiah barked his own command."Move!"His security team broke formation.Suddenly, the quarry erupted into chaos.Two groups were chasing a piece of film no larger than a finger.Bethwel remained rooted where he stood.Something felt wrong.Very wrong.His instincts screamed that the film wasn't the real objective.He turned sharply."Nobody touch the key!"Too late.A young officer had already reached for the brass key lying on the rock where
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 56: The House on Kanu Street
The brass key felt unnaturally heavy in Alex's hand.Not because of its weight.Because of what it represented.WAO HOUSE. ATTIC. 1998.Everyone stood frozen.Patricia was the first to break the silence."Our house doesn't have an attic."Alison nodded immediately."It never has."Alex looked at the sisters."You're certain?""I grew up there."Patricia answered firmly."So did I," Alison added. "I've explored every room in that house."Dr. Margaret smiled sadly."So you believe."Joel slowly removed the key from Alex's hand.His fingers traced the faded engraving."I've seen this kind of key before."Bethwel looked at him."Where?""Government safe houses."Everyone turned.Joel continued."In the 1990s, several intelligence safe houses were modified.""False ceilings.""Hidden crawl spaces.""Secret document compartments.""They weren't designed as attics.""They were designed to disappear."Silence followed.Bethwel's mind immediately began reconstructing every report he had ever r
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 13: The Man with the Silenced Gun
The gunshot echoed through the hospital corridor.For a moment, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.The sound seemed to freeze time itself.Patricia's heart slammed against her ribs.A nurse screamed again.Somewhere outside, metal equipment crashed onto the floor.Then chaos erupted.Doctors rushed int
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 12: The Hospital Confession
The drive to Nakuru Central Hospital was a blur.Patricia barely remembered leaving the house.One moment, she was standing in shock after learning the truth about her adoption.Then next, she was racing through traffic with Alison beside her.Neither woman spoke.Too much had happened.Too much wa
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 10: The Name in the Register
Patricia didn't remember leaving her compound.She didn't remember driving.She barely remembered ending the call with Alison.One moment, she was standing outside her house holding Obadiah Waore's file.Then next, she was racing through Nakuru's evening traffic toward Alison's office.Her hands gr
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 5: The Lies Beneath
The rest of the afternoon passed in silence.Patricia and Alison remained parked several blocks away, watching Alex's car disappear into Nakuru traffic.Neither of them spoke immediately.Both were trying to make sense of what they had witnessed.The affair was real.That much was no longer in doub
