Shadows Between Us Chapter Forty-Two
Charity didn’t sleep that night.She sat on the edge of her bed, hands trembling, mind racing in circles she couldn’t escape. Anjola paced the room, whispering prayers under her breath even though she wasn’t sure who she was praying to—or for. “If you don’t end it now, Charity… it will swallow you.” Anjola said, voice low.Charity pressed her palms to her face. “I know. I know. I just… I didn’t think it would get this far.”But it had.Her mother had started discussing antenatal appointments. Leon’s parents had asked her to send updates. People were already congratulating her online. She couldn’t breathe under the weight of the lie anymore.She lifted her head, eyes glassy. “I need to end it… but I can’t just say it was a mistake. They’ll ask for proof. They’ll question everything.”Anjola stopped pacing.“Then we create proof.”Charity looked at her.“You mean…?”“Yes,” Anjola said, voice steady. “A miscarriage. It sounds horrible, but it’s the only clean ending. Something that expl
Shadows Between Us Chapter Forty-One
Leon got home long after midnight, the buzz from the drinks already fading and leaving behind something heavier. Something sharper. He showered quickly, tossed his clothes aside, and collapsed onto his bed.He expected silence.Instead, his phone lit up immediately.Tim:Bro did you see Felicity’s post?? LMAOO she dey enjoy life o.Leon’s breath paused.He opened Instagram.Nothing.Not a single new post from her.Not a single story.His heart dropped.Blocked?He stared at the empty circles on her profile—ones he used to check every morning, every night, sometimes every hour without meaning to.He swallowed.Leon:I can’t see anything. Send it.A second later, a screen recording popped up.He clicked it.The video opened with loud music and flashing lights—Kolade’s party.At first, the camera was on Gwen dancing with someone. Then it panned wider—and there she was.Felicity.On a table surrounded by people—guys, girls, laughter everywhere. Her hair curled over her shoulder, her outfi

Kolade’s house was already in full chaos—bass shaking the walls, neon lights slicing through the dark, smoke drifting like fog. Everywhere she looked, someone was filming, posing, shouting, trying to capture the night for their followers.Felicity stepped out of the car and drew a steady breath.She could handle this.Her friends flanked her immediately.“Head up,” Gwen whispered.“Don’t shrink,” Ibukun added.Felicity nodded once—small, but steady.Inside, the house was chaos—beautiful, expensive chaos.People dancing.People kissing.People arguing.People filming everything like life needed receipts.Someone shouted her name and waved excitedly.Someone else asked where she’d been hiding.She didn’t answer, just smiled politely.Her friends guided her to a lounge area with plush seats and neon lights cutting sharp colors across the room.Preston handed her a clean drink. “This one is safe. No weed.”She laughed—actually laughed—and took it.And slowly, she loosened.She laughed at

The sun was already high when Leon arrived at the luxury poolside restaurant. The place was all glass railings, white umbrellas, and people who looked like they spent money just by breathing. Perfect distraction.Mark and Deji were already there, lounging like kings, drinks in hand.Mark raised a brow the moment he saw Leon. “Omo, see who finally left house arrest.”Deji smirked. “Abeg shift jare. Married man approaching.”Leon scoffed and sat, signaling a waiter. “You people are mad.”But the teasing didn’t stop.“You literally vanished,” Mark said. “We thought you were living holy life because of Felicity.”Leon’s jaw tightened at her name, but he forced a shrug. “Life changed. Had to adjust.”“Adjust,” Deji echoed dramatically. “Please. Just last month you were turning girls down left and right. Leon the reformed man.”“Leon the faithful,” Mark added.“Leon the—”He cut them off with a tired laugh. “Abeg, shift. Things happened.”Deji leaned forward. “So, tell us why you canceled y
Shadows Between Us Chapter Thirty-Eight
Charity woke up smiling.It was the same smile she’d worn every morning for the past week—the soft, satisfied kind that came before her eyes even opened. Her fingers moved before her thoughts did, drifting instinctively to her left hand.The ring caught the light immediately.Even in the quiet of her bedroom, it sparkled like it had something to prove.She lifted her hand higher, turning it slowly, admiring the way the stone sat perfectly against her skin. A week since the contracts were signed. A week since the families sealed everything with smiles and signatures and silent expectations. And yet, the thrill still rushed through her like it was brand new.Mine, she thought.She pushed herself upright on the bed, still staring at the ring like it might disappear if she blinked too long. Everything felt lighter now. Safer. Locked in.Leon was hers.Legally. Publicly. Permanently.She exhaled in contentment and stretched, already planning her day—outfits, calls, maybe another shoot for
Shadows Between Us Chapter Thirty-Seven
Leon didn’t move for a long time.The apartment had gone quiet after Charity stormed upstairs. The television screen had dimmed into its idle loop, the game long forgotten. Crushed tacos smeared the floor beneath his shoes, the mess settling into the room like proof of how badly everything had unraveled.He finally sank back onto the couch, elbows on his knees, head bowed.His phone rang.He glanced at the screen.Dad.His chest tightened. He already knew this wouldn’t be a gentle call.Leon answered.“Where are you?” his father’s voice cut through the line, sharp and impatient.“At my apartment,” Leon replied quietly.“You will come home today,” his father said coldly. “Both families are gathering. Charity’s parents are already on their way. The lawyers too. We are finalizing the marriage agreement.”Leon closed his eyes. “Today?”“Yes, today,” his father snapped. “And don’t start with that defeated tone. You’re a man—start acting like it.”Leon swallowed hard.“You embarrassed yours
