The silence inside the hotel suite stretched for several seconds after the unexpected face appeared beside Melissa on the laptop screen.

Sarah’s earlier warm smile had vanished completely.

Her eyes hardened as she leaned slightly closer to the screen.

“Tiana,” she finally said, breaking the stunned quiet. Her voice was controlled, but the sternness in it was unmistakable. “What are you doing in my house?” she demanded.

Her brows furrowed as another thought immediately struck her.

Seem all had underestimated the power Tiana could still wield even from the prison/hospital… that she could still get people to carry out her dirty works

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 209: Return to a Storm

    The flight landed in New York just as dawn began to stretch across the horizon, casting a pale golden light over the city that never truly slept.From the outside, everything looked normal; cars moving, people rushing, life continuing without pause, but for Sarah, nothing felt normal anymore.The moment they stepped out of the airport, the security detail waiting for them closed in immediately, forming a quiet shield around them. It wasn’t dramatic, but it was enough to remind her that whatever they had escaped in Nigeria had only been replaced by something else here.Something closer.Something more personal.The drive to her mansion was unusually quiet. Daniel sat beside Aisha in the backseat, occasionally glancing at her as if making sure she was still there, still real.Aisha, on the other hand, stayed still, her eyes moving from one passing structure to another, trying to take in a world so different from anything she had ever known.Tall buildings. Clean roads. Order. Structure.

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 208: Fragile Beginnings and Departures

    By the time Sarah’s car pulled into the hotel premises, the sky had begun to soften into evening, the fading light stretching across the glass walls of the building in long reflections. She stepped out almost immediately, her movements quick, controlled, but urgent beneath the surface. The message she had received sat heavily in her chest, refusing to be ignored.She didn’t wait for the attendant to follow protocol or escort her in. Her heels struck the marble floor with sharp, echoing steps as she made her way straight toward the elevator. Her mind was already ahead of her body, running through possibilities she didn’t want to entertain.When she reached the suite floor and stepped out, the hallway was quiet, almost too quiet. But just a few steps in, she saw him.Daniel.He was seated on the floor, just beside Aisha’s door, his back leaning against the wall. One knee was bent, the other stretched slightly forward. His head was lowered at first, but when he heard her approaching foo

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 207: Unsettling Silence

    Mr. Edochie listened to Sarah without interrupting, his fingers lightly interlocked on the polished surface of his desk as she explained what she needed.His expression remained calm and attentive throughout, but there was a weight in his eyes, a quiet, measured gravity, that told her he understood the urgency sitting beneath her words even before she had finished laying them out.When she stopped speaking, he leaned back slightly in his chair and released a quiet breath, the kind a person releases when they are carefully assembling a response before committing to it."Getting a replacement passport for your son won't be a problem," he said finally, his tone steady and unhurried. "Daniel has records, identity, history. The system knows he exists. That part is straightforward."Sarah nodded slowly, her shoulders easing by a fraction. But her eyes stayed fixed on him, watching his face carefully, waiting for what she already sensed was coming."But…" he continued, tilting his head just

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 206: Quiet Deals and Quiet Fears

    The next morning arrived with a calm brightness that felt almost deceptive after the grinding tension of the past few days. The kind of morning that looked pleasant from a distance and meant nothing.The city had already come alive with its usual indifferent rhythm.Sarah sat in the back seat of the car as it moved through the busy streets.Sunlight streamed through the window beside her, casting soft, shifting reflections across the leather seats as the car navigated the morning traffic.She had barely slept during the night. Her mind had refused to settle, turning over the same thoughts in the same sequence, again and again, the way a restless mind does when it cannot find a resolution to fix itself on.She pulled her phone from her handbag.For the third time that morning, she dialed James' number.The phone did not ring. Not once. Instead, a cold automated message played almost immediately, filling her ear with the flat, impersonal voice of a system informing her that the line was

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 205: A Night of Quiet Worries

    The black SUV rolled smoothly through the hotel driveway just as the evening lights were beginning to glow around the building.The sky outside had shifted into that soft orange shade that came just before darkness settled fully over the city.Guests moved in and out of the hotel entrance, while uniformed attendants stood ready to assist with luggage.The driver slowed the vehicle near the entrance.A porter immediately stepped forward and opened the door for them.Sarah stepped out first, followed by Daniel and Aisha. The cool evening air wrapped around them gently, a welcome relief from the heat that had followed them through most of the day.Without wasting time, they walked inside.The hotel lobby was bright and elegant, filled with soft lighting and the quiet hum of guests chatting in different corners. The marble floor reflected the glow from the chandeliers hanging above, giving the entire space a calm, polished feel.Sarah walked directly toward the reception desk.The recepti

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 204: A Road With No Home

    The military base gates slid shut behind them with a heavy metallic clang that echoed briefly across the dusty road before fading into the dry afternoon air. The sound felt like the closing of a chapter — definitive, irreversible, one that none of them would easily forget or fully leave behind.Inside the vehicle, a strange quietness settled over everyone almost immediately.The driver kept his attention fixed on the road ahead, adjusting his rearview mirror once as the sparse outskirts traffic began to thicken slightly, the empty stretches giving way gradually to more familiar urban density.Sarah sat in the front passenger seat, her posture composed but thoughtful, her fingers resting loosely against the armrest as she watched the road unspooling endlessly beneath the bright afternoon sun.She had the look of someone still processing, still turning things over quietly, filing them away into whatever internal order she kept.In the back seat, Daniel sat beside Aisha.Every few second

    By midyear, Sarah’s name had become a familiar headline across business magazines and news stations. “The Mysterious CEO Who Turned Skyview into Gold,” one article read. Another called her “Julia Augustine’s Miracle Protégé.”Everywhere she turned, the world seemed to be watching her rise, and not
