Chapter 86: The Fingerprint Inside

Sophia Grant had never been one to hand out trust like candy. Especially not when the intel came from Lucas,the man with too many shadows in his wake.

So the next morning, she did what she always did when the stakes were too high to play loose: she locked herself away with Clara and Ralia in the ministry’s secure records room. No distractions. No noise. Just cold, hard evidence laid bare under fluorescent lights and sharpened gazes.

The table was cluttered with damning paperwork,bank transfers, shell company filings, encrypted wire confirmations. The kind of evidence that didn’t whisper corruption.

It screamed.

Clara’s finger slid down one of the transaction sheets. “Look at this,” she murmured. “Quarterly deposits like clockwork. Mauritius account, set up three years ago.”

Sophia leaned in, narrowing her eyes.

“But this one…” Clara tapped a particular line. “It’s different. This one came from a Nigerian personal account. Not corporate.”

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   Chapter 88: Smoke Over the Water

    Chapter 88: Smoke Over the WaterBy the start of the week, Abuja was humming with headlines.The Hart Foundation’s New Humanitarian Drive“Camilla Hart Promises Housing for the Displaced”She stood center stage,glossy smile, polished speech, perfectly framed beneath a banner reading:Rebuilding Futures: Housing for Displaced FamiliesShe shook hands with community leaders, pledged “full transparency,” and posed for photographers like a saint in silk.It was dazzling.It was dishonest.And it was working.Clara dropped three newspapers onto Sophia’s desk, each more fawning than the last. “She’s buying herself a halo.”Sophia barely glanced at the headlines. “No. She’s buying time. And hiding her financial trail under a pile of bricks and mercy.”Ralia entered, eyes glued to her tablet. “She’s fragmenting the transfers,tiny amounts, multiple currencies, different jurisdictions. Mauritius, Liechtenstein, Cyprus. By the time her housing project ‘breaks ground,’ the real money will be untr

    Chapter 87: A Blade Behind the Smile On paper, Monday’s cabinet meeting was standard fare,budget reviews, infrastructure briefings, routine security updates. But for Sophia, it was a perfectly staged play. Every word exchanged was theater, every nod a chess move, every glance a veiled strike.Three seats to her left sat Patrick Madu, her deputy. Cool, composed, and calculating—turning pages in his binder like his hands weren’t already stained with betrayal.Sophia didn’t look at him directly. She didn’t have to. She felt the tremor beneath his surface, the forced ease of a man clinging to the lie of normalcy.And as the meeting drew to a close and the ministers filed out, she delivered the line she’d rehearsed in her head all morning:“Patrick, could you stay behind for a moment?”He paused, then smiled. “Of course, Minister.”When the last footsteps faded, Sophia leaned back in her chair with studied calm. She didn’t reach for dramatics. No slamming folders or throwing accusations.

  • Her Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret   Chapter 85: The Return of the Ghost

    Chapter 85: The Return of the Ghost It had been nearly a year since she’d last laid eyes on him.Lucas.The last time he stood before her, his words were laced with cool calculation, his presence a reminder of wounds too deep for time to numb. She’d buried that part of her life,sewn the seams shut with silence. But the scar had never faded.So when Clara entered Sophia’s office and quietly announced, “There’s someone here to see you,” Sophia wasn’t expecting the storm that followed.He stepped in like a ghost with unfinished business.Lucas. Dressed in a dark suit, the crispness dulled by fatigue. His jaw unshaven, his face thinner than she remembered. He looked like a man who’d been running—but not fast enough.“Sophia,” he said, softly, like her name still belonged to him.She didn’t rise. Didn’t flinch.“You didn’t schedule an appointment.”“I figured if I asked, you’d say no.”“You figured right.”He moved closer, slow but certain, brushing past her sharp tone. “I heard about Cam

    Chapter 84: The Crack in Her ArmorCamilla Hart had built her reputation like a fortress,brick by brick, each word carefully chosen, every public move rehearsed to perfection. She moved through boardrooms and broadcasts with the poise of a queen who’d never known defeat.But paranoia, oh paranoia is a thirsty beast. And when it sinks its teeth in, even the most polished hands begin to tremble.Two days after the panel, Camilla slipped.Her first real misstep.And the world was watching.It crept into the media sphere under the cover of night,a so-called “exclusive interview” on a fringe late-night channel known more for controversy than credibility.The lighting was harsh, Camilla’s eyes too bright, her eyeliner drawn on like war paint.“Sophia George has a long-standing habit of bending the rules,” she declared, voice tight, sharp. “This talk of forged documents? A convenient smokescreen. The real story lies in her ministry’s past.”The host leaned in, licking his lips like a man sme

    Chapter 83: The Stage with Two FlamesThree days later, it arrived sleek, formal, and laced with intent.National Policy Forum“Leadership in the Age of Crisis”Live Broadcast: Federal Conference Centre, Abuja.Sophia scanned the panel list, her heart halting mid-beat.Camilla Hart.Her name sat on the page like a knife edge. CEO of Hart Holdings, enemy cloaked in elegance.Clara leaned in, her voice sharp with disbelief. “You’re joking.”“They’ve put us on the same panel,” Sophia said, her tone flat, eyes unreadable.Ralia folded her arms, already bracing for battle. “She’ll use that stage to provoke you and to twist the narrative. She wants you to snap. In front of everyone.”Sophia didn’t flinch. “And if I keep my silence?”“She’ll frame it as fear,” Clara muttered. “That you’re too scared to face her.”The morning of the forum was a quiet war.Sophia dressed with calculated simplicity,navy suit, crisp white blouse, a single pair of pearl studs. No glitter, no deflection. Just the
