The command centre came alive before sunrise.

Fresh coffee filled the room as officers exchanged overnight reports. Maps, photographs and notebooks remained spread across the long conference table exactly as they had been left the previous evening.

Bethwel arrived carrying a slim brown file.

He did not sit.

"I want to revisit something we've overlooked."

Alex looked up from Daniel Waore's notebook.

"The letter?"

"No."

Bethwel placed the file on the table.

"The people."

Kamau frowned.

"We've bee

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 142: The Woman in the Photograph

    Patricia could not move.The photograph trembled between her fingers.The baby in the picture was wearing a small white bracelet around one wrist. A dark mark curved beneath it, almost like a crescent.She knew that mark.She had seen it every time she looked at her own wrist.For years, she had thought it was nothing more than a strange birthmark.Now it felt like a signature.“Alex,” she whispered.“I see it.”“No.”Patricia shook her head.“I mean the woman.”Alex looked at the photograph again.Mercy stood on the left.Grace stood beside her.And behind them was Obadiah.But the woman Patricia had noticed was not any of them.She was partly hidden behind Grace.Only half of her face was visible.Yet there was something familiar about her.Patricia moved the photograph closer to the light.“Who is she?”Alex studied it.“I don't know.”“She looks familiar.”“You've seen thousands of photographs connected to this case.”“No.”Patricia's voice became firmer.“I've seen her before.”A

    The underground chamber seemed to hold its breath.Patricia stared at the sealed letter in her hands.Daniel’s handwriting was unmistakable.Her fingers tightened around the envelope.“Open it,” Alex whispered.The unnamed man stood several feet away, his eyes fixed on the tunnel behind them.“No,” he said.Patricia turned sharply.“You brought us here.”“I brought you to the room. Daniel brought you here long before you knew it existed.”Alex stepped between them.“Enough riddles. Who are you?”The man looked at him.“My name still doesn't matter.”“It matters to me.”“It will.”A faint metallic sound came from somewhere above them.Everyone froze.Alex raised a hand.Silence.Then another sound.A soft scrape.Patricia looked toward the narrow tunnel.“Someone is coming.”The man shook his head.“Not someone.”Alex frowned.“What does that mean?”“The door.”“What door?”The man pointed toward the far wall.At first Patricia saw nothing.Then a thin vertical line appeared where the

    Patricia stared at the locked door.The man's voice came again.“You should never have opened Room Seventeen.”Alex moved quietly toward the far corner of the room.“Stay behind me.”Patricia obeyed, but her eyes remained fixed on the door.She could hear the man's breathing on the other side.“You've been watching us,” Alex said.A brief silence followed.“Watching is not the same as following.”“Then why were you at the quarry?”“I needed to know whether you would find the room.”Patricia stepped forward.“Who are you?”The man laughed softly.“You've been asking the wrong question.”Alex glanced at her.Patricia ignored him.“You knew my father.”Another silence.Then the voice changed.“You knew Daniel?”“I knew the man before you were old enough to ask about him.”Patricia's heart tightened.“Then tell me what happened to him.”The man didn't answer.Alex moved toward the door.“Open it.”“No.”“Then why are you talking to us?”“Because you have already found what I was trying to

    Patricia stared at the photograph.She had seen those eyes before.But she couldn't remember where.The more she tried, the more distant the memory became.Alex placed the phone on the table.“Don't force yourself to remember.”“I've seen him.”“I know.”“No, Alex. I mean recently.”Alison stepped closer.“Where?”Patricia closed her eyes.She saw the quarry.The storage building.The men who had attacked them.The mechanic.Bethwel.The old files.Nothing.Then another image surfaced.A man standing outside a building.Watching.Not approaching.Just watching.Patricia opened her eyes.“The man with the binoculars.”Alex immediately looked at her.“What?”“The spy we've seen around the quarry.”“You think it's him?”“I don't know.”Alex picked up the photograph again.“Then we don't assume.”Patricia nodded.That was exactly what she needed to hear.Too many things had begun connecting too quickly.And every time they thought they had found an answer, another question appeared.She l

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 138: Beyond the Wall

    Patricia couldn't move.The voice came again from beyond the western wall.“Patricia.”Alex tightened his grip on her hand.“Don't answer.”The security team had already moved toward the western side of the compound, but the order from the head of security had stopped them from approaching the wall.The darkness beyond the floodlights was unnerving.Patricia looked at the security monitor.The western cameras were still showing black screens.“Why aren't the cameras working?”Kamau shook his head.“They haven't lost power completely. Someone has interfered with the signal.”Alex turned sharply.“Can you restore them?”“I'm trying.”“Do it remotely. Nobody approaches that wall.”Kamau nodded.Patricia looked toward the darkness.“It's her.”Alison stepped beside her.“You're sure?”“Yes.”“How?”“I recognize her voice.”Mercy moved closer.“Who is she?”Patricia hesitated.“I don't know.”A faint laugh came from beyond the wall.Patricia's heart jumped.“You came to my door,” she calle

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 137: The Listening Room

    Alex remained crouched beneath Obadiah's desk, staring at the spot where the tiny red light had appeared.Patricia stood behind him, barely breathing.“Can you find anything?”“Not yet.”Alex ran his fingers along the underside of the desk, then checked the floor around it.Nothing.He stood and looked at Patricia.“Don't touch anything else.”Patricia frowned.“Why?”“Because if there is a listening device, whoever placed it may know exactly what we're doing.”Alison and Mercy had followed them into the study.Mercy closed the door.“What are we supposed to do now?”Alex looked at all three women.“Act normally.”Patricia almost laughed.“Someone may be listening to us, Glen is missing, someone is sending messages, and you want us to act normally?”“Yes.”“Alex—”“If they're listening, I want them to hear what we want them to hear.”Patricia stared at him.Then she understood.“You want to feed them false information.”“Exactly.”Alison folded her arms.“And what if they can see us t

    The rest of the afternoon passed in silence.Patricia and Alison remained parked several blocks away, watching Alex's car disappear into Nakuru traffic.Neither of them spoke immediately.Both were trying to make sense of what they had witnessed.The affair was real.That much was no longer in doub

    Patricia barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the photograph.Alex.Smiling.Holding another woman.The image had burned itself into her memory.By dawn, the rain had stopped, leaving Nakuru wrapped in a blanket of mist. The cool morning air drifted through the cracked kitchen wind
