The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 50: The Flight Home
The message on Mercy Wao's phone seemed to drain the warmth from the cold night.YOU WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO LEAVE SYDNEY.Nobody spoke.Bethwel carefully turned the phone over in his gloved hands."It wasn't sent to Mercy."Joel nodded immediately."It was meant for Stephen."Alison's breathing became shallow."My father..."Joel looked at her."Someone is watching him.""No."Alex corrected quietly."They've been watching him."Everyone looked at him."The wording matters."He pointed at the screen."'Never supposed to leave Sydney.'""That means whoever sent this message already knew he had decided to travel before he even boarded the plane."Silence followed.Obadiah exhaled slowly."Which means the surveillance isn't limited to Kenya."More than ten thousand kilometres away...Somewhere above the Indian Ocean.Stephen Wao stared through the aircraft window.The cabin lights had been dimmed.Most passengers were asleep.He wasn't.Something had bothered him ever since leaving Sydne
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 49: The Voice in the Darkness
The quarry fell silent.Even the wind seemed to pause.The beam of a lone flashlight danced through the darkness beyond the floodlights before settling on Patricia's face.Then the voice came again.Soft.Familiar."Patricia..."Patricia's lips trembled."Mum?"No one moved.Not Obadiah's guards.Not Bethwel.Not even Joel.Only the flashlight continued advancing slowly.Then the figure stepped into the dim glow.It wasn't Mercy Wao.Patricia's heart sank.The woman standing before them looked to be in her early sixties, wrapped in a heavy raincoat, her silver-streaked hair tied neatly behind her head. Despite the exhaustion on her face, her posture radiated quiet confidence.She lowered the flashlight."I'm sorry."Her voice carried genuine regret."I've been told all my life that I sound exactly like your mother."Patricia struggled to steady herself."Who... are you?"Before the woman could answer, Ezekiel Mboya removed his cap."Ladies and gentlemen...""...this is Dr. Margaret Na
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 48: The Underground Chase
The engine roared to life beneath their feet.It wasn't loud.It was controlled.The smooth, powerful hum of a well-maintained diesel engine echoed through the underground passages, vibrating up the walls of Shaft B.Everyone instinctively turned toward the opening.Ezekiel Mboya closed his eyes."They've found it."Joel grabbed the old caretaker by the shoulders."Who?"Ezekiel opened his eyes slowly."The people who should never have discovered this place."Without waiting for another word, Obadiah's security chief barked orders."Team Alpha, with me!""Bravo Team, secure the surface!""No one enters or leaves this quarry without authorization."Within seconds, six heavily armed guards disappeared down the steel ladder, their flashlights dancing across the concrete walls.Alex watched them descend.Something didn't sit right.The engine hadn't accelerated.It remained idling.Waiting.Almost inviting them to follow.He looked at Joel."That's not an escape."Joel nodded grimly."It'
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 47: The Keeper of the Keys
The old man's words echoed through the shaft."Grace's little girl finally found her way home."Silence swallowed the quarry.Every weapon remained raised.Every eye fixed on the elderly stranger.Patricia felt her knees weaken.Not because he had recognized her.Because he had said it with such certainty.As though he had been waiting for this moment.For years.Perhaps decades.Bethwel was the first to recover.He stepped forward, badge raised."Chief Inspector Bethwel Kanda."His voice was firm."Identify yourself."The old man smiled politely."You still introduce yourselves before asking questions."He climbed the remaining steps with surprising agility for someone who looked well into his seventies.When he reached the surface, he placed the lantern on the ground."I appreciate good manners."Bethwel's patience wore thin."Your name."The old man looked at him for a long moment."My name is Ezekiel Mboya."He tapped the ring of rusted keys in his hand."I've been the caretaker o
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 46: Shaft B
Cold air rose from the darkness.It carried the unmistakable scent of damp earth...Oil...And diesel.Not the smell of an abandoned tunnel.The smell of a place that had been used.Recently.Alex lowered his flashlight into the shaft.The beam disappeared into a perfectly constructed concrete passage.Far below, an electric lamp glowed steadily.Someone had switched it on.Someone had expected visitors.Joel Aliet stared at the opening in disbelief."I've been using this quarry for nearly eight years."He slowly shook his head."I never knew this existed."Obadiah crouched beside the hatch.His experienced eyes examined the concrete."This wasn't built for miners."Alex looked at him."No?"Obadiah brushed away decades of dirt.The reinforced walls emerged.Military-grade concrete.Steel reinforcement bars.Emergency ventilation ducts."This is government work."Silence settled over the group.Government.Not private contractors.Not the mining company.Government.Bethwel Kanda knel
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 45: Buried Alive
The mountain moved.It began with a deep, unnatural groan.Then came the explosion.The northern wall of the abandoned quarry fractured like glass.Thousands of tonnes of rock, earth, and broken concrete thundered downward.It wasn't a landslide.It was a demolition."The tunnel!" Alex shouted.The avalanche was heading directly for Joel's marked escape route.The stranger hadn't just discovered Joel's contingency plan.He had erased it."RUN!"Bethwel's voice echoed through the quarry as police officers scattered in every direction.Obadiah's security detail closed ranks around Patricia and Alison.The ground shook violently beneath their feet.Dust swallowed the floodlights.Visibility dropped to almost nothing.Alex grabbed Patricia's hand."This way!"She didn't question him.Neither did Alison.They followed as Alex sprinted toward an abandoned conveyor system instead of the collapsing tunnel.Obadiah noticed immediately."Alex!"The young man pointed upward."Forget the tunnel!"
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 30: The Man Who Knew Grace
The stranger did not wait for Alex to respond.He grabbed the motorcycle helmet hanging from the handlebars and tossed it toward him."Wear it."Alex caught it instinctively.His pulse was racing.The name still echoed inside his head.Grace Akinyi.Patricia's mother.The woman at the center of eve
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 28: Sanctuary of Dust
The first person to raise the issue was Patricia."Where's Alison?"The question came unexpectedly during breakfast.Obadiah looked up from his security reports."What about her?"Patricia frowned."What do you mean, what about her?"The billionaire immediately understood.And he didn't like where
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 27: The Hunter and the Hunted
Alex knew he was running out of time.Not tomorrow.Not tonight.Now.The phone screen glowed weakly in his hand.Battery: 3%.Three percent.Three tiny bars standing between him and darkness.He sat inside the unfinished building, hidden among piles of cement bags and rusting steel rods.His mind
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 26: Fortress and Fugitive
Obadiah Waore had stopped sleeping.The old billionaire stood before a wall-sized security monitor inside the safe house command room.Fourteen camera feeds stared back at him.Perimeter fences.Vehicle checkpoints.Entry gates.Escape routes.Every angle.Every blind spot.Every possible threat.T
