The drive to Alison's law office felt longer than usual.

Patricia barely noticed the bustling streets of Nakuru.

Her mind remained trapped on one terrifying fact.

There was no Fiona Lawama.

The woman who had stolen her husband.

The woman whose name appeared on the mansion documents.

The revelation felt unreal.

Like stepping into a crime thriller rather than her own life.

By the time she arrived at Alison's office,

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 69: Homecoming

    The convoy came to a halt.The collapsed bridge had reduced the stream below into a raging torrent, carrying away twisted steel beams like driftwood.David climbed onto the muddy embankment and studied the map."There is another route."Obadiah looked at him."How much longer?"David grimaced."Forty-five minutes."Patricia shut her eyes.Every extra minute felt like an hour.Alex was already walking along the broken bridge, his eyes scanning every detail.Bethwel joined him."You think there's more here?"Alex nodded."The bridge isn't the message.""What is?"Alex pointed at the cut support column."The person who cut this knew structural engineering."Bethwel examined the clean, angled cut."So?""So they knew exactly where to cut."He crouched lower."And..."He brushed away wet mud with his fingertips."They left us something."Wedged beneath a loose stone was a brass washer.No larger than a coin.David frowned."That came from the bridge?"Alex shook his head."No."He turned i

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 68: A Mother's Resolve

    Patricia stood motionless.The satellite phone had slipped from her trembling fingers into the wet leaves.No one rushed to pick it up.No one spoke.The words echoed inside her mind."They've taken Glen."She closed her eyes.Not Glen...Anyone but Glen.A hand rested gently on her shoulder.Obadiah."Patricia."She didn't answer.His voice remained calm."They took him alive."Slowly, she looked up."How do you know?""Because if they wanted to silence him..."He paused."...they would have done it where they found him."Patricia searched his face."You can't know that.""No."He admitted quietly."But I know how professionals think.""They don't create unnecessary complications.""If Glen is alive...""...then he has value."Alex, standing a few metres away, nodded in agreement."They didn't take a child."Everyone turned toward him."They took the only witness who has actually seen something they need."David picked up the satellite phone from the ground."Rose?"Her breathing was

    The helicopters came in low.Too low.They skimmed the treetops with deliberate precision, their rotors flattening the rain-soaked grass on either side of the maintenance road.David's first instinct was to reach for the radio.Only to remember it was useless.Alex had already stepped out of the vehicle.His eyes weren't fixed on the helicopters.They were fixed on their formation."Four aircraft."He spoke quietly."Diamond pattern."Joel immediately understood."They're protecting the centre."Alex nodded."The middle helicopter isn't being protected...""...it's carrying something."Obadiah was already issuing orders."Engines off."Every driver complied."No headlights."The convoy disappeared into silence.From above, the narrow road became almost invisible beneath the thick forest canopy.David looked at Obadiah."We're sitting ducks.""No."Obadiah answered."We're becoming invisible."Gabriel Midila listened carefully.Then shook his head."They're not looking for vehicles."E

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 66: The Man They Buried

    For several seconds...No one moved.The rain had dwindled to a light drizzle, pattering softly against the leaves, yet the silence that followed the stranger's words was deafening."My name is Gabriel Midila.""I have been waiting a very long time... to meet my nephew."Alex stared at the man.He wasn't seeing a stranger anymore.He was studying him.The sharp cheekbones.The deep-set eyes.The slight crease above the right eyebrow.It was like looking at an older version of himself...And of the few faded photographs he possessed of Daniel Midila.Joel's breathing became shallow."No..."he whispered."You died."Gabriel gave a weary smile."I allowed the world to believe that."Ezekiel took an unsteady step forward."I carried your coffin.""I watched them lower you into the ground.""You stood beside the grave."Gabriel corrected gently."You never looked inside."Ezekiel's eyes widened.The memory returned.Twenty-eight years earlier...The coffin had remained sealed.Government

    The convoy was still fifteen kilometres from Kilele Estate when Obadiah's satellite phone rang.Only four people possessed that number.He glanced at the screen.His expression changed."Stephen."Patricia looked up immediately."My father?"Obadiah answered the call."Stephen."The voice on the other end sounded exhausted."I've just landed."Nearly fourteen thousand kilometres away...Twenty-two hours earlier...Stephen Wao had been addressing diplomats at the Kenyan High Commission in Sydney.His speech had barely begun when his personal assistant entered quietly and slipped him a folded note.The assistant never interrupted meetings.Never.Stephen excused himself.He opened the note.URGENT. CONTACT NAIROBI IMMEDIATELY. FAMILY SECURITY.Within thirty minutes he was inside a secure government office.A senior intelligence liaison waited for him.The man closed the door."Your family is making international headlines."Stephen frowned."What has happened?"The officer slid a tablet

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 64: The Boy at the Hatch

    The gloved hand stopped barely an inch from Glen's shoulder.Another hand seized the man's wrist.Hard.The two figures froze.Neither had expected the other.Hidden behind a thicket of dripping cypress, Moses stared into the eyes of a stranger dressed in dark waterproof clothing.For a split second, neither moved.Then Moses twisted the man's arm violently.The operative grunted in pain."Glen!"Moses roared."Run!"The boy instinctively scrambled away from the concrete hatch, clutching his sketchbook to his chest.The operative lashed out with his free elbow, striking Moses across the jaw.Both men crashed into the soaked undergrowth.The forest exploded into movement.At the main house...Rose heard the shout.Then another."North fence!"Every security guard on the estate reacted instantly.Weapons came up.Boots thundered across the wet compound.Faith looked toward the door."Was that Uncle Moses?"Rose's heart skipped.She forced herself to smile."It probably was."But her han

    Patricia barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the photograph.Alex.Smiling.Holding another woman.The image had burned itself into her memory.By dawn, the rain had stopped, leaving Nakuru wrapped in a blanket of mist. The cool morning air drifted through the cracked kitchen wind

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 2: The Message That Changed Everything

    Patricia stared at the glowing phone screen.The message refused to disappear.I miss you Then the second one.When will you tell your wife the truth?Outside, thunder rolled across the skies of Nakuru, shaking the windows of the small house.Her hands trembled.No.There had to be an explanation.

    The Wife He BetrayedThe evening sky above Nakuru had turned the color of dying embers.From the balcony of their modest rental house in Kiamunyi Estate, Patricia Sewe stood motionless, watching the last streaks of sunlight disappear behind the distant silhouette of Menengai Crater.
