Deliver Us From Valentino (18+)

Ten years ago, Christian Akor vanished without a trace.
No goodbye. No body. No truth.

They said he left.
They said he found a better life.
They said Ivy should move on.

So he did.

Or at least... he tried.

Now, a man named Valentino has arrived - charming, untouchable, and worshipped by everyone who meets him. A philanthropist. A savior. A man the church cannot stop praising.

But Ivy feels it.

Something in his voice.
Something in his presence.
Something that feels like a memory that refuses to stay buried.

Because some people don't disappear.
They return.

And when the truth finally begins to surface, the prayers will change.

Not for blessings.
Not for mercy.

But for deliverance.

Deliver us... from Valentino.
