Now, all eyes turn to Kelsey Anayo, the youngest lawyer in Lagos and the man who prosecuted the case. With Damilare back in the shadows, Kelsey is dragged into a storm of suspicion, media scrutiny, and threats that blur the line between justice and survival. But secrets don't stay buried. Not in a city where love, betrayal, and blood are currency. And Kelsey is about to learn that Damilare's escape wasn't the end of their story - It was only the beginning. ©️ Copyright 2025 Chelsea Maya Victory Johnson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

I am Chiedza. I don't remember my real Amai. All I know is that one day, a long long time ago, when I was just but a little girl, there had been sad and mournful singing at our house. I vaguely remember people coming to pat my back or hug me to their bosoms, whispering, "It'll be alright." I remember, vaguely too, their whispers, "He is a man. How will he take care of a young girl on his own?" I also remember standing by the mound of soil that had hugged and hidden my real Amai, my hand in Baba's, and Baba crying. But as for my real Amai, I remember nothing. Not her scent. Not her laughter. Not her voice. Nothing. Almost as if she never existed.
