Chapter 117- The Truth That Cannot Be Buried

(Daniel’s POV)

For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.

The world around me didn’t disappear—but it became distant, like everything had been pushed several steps away while I remained locked in one place… staring at the screen in my hand.

Because what I was seeing—

Was not something the mind accepts easily.

Not at first.

The video continued to play, but my brain lagged behind it, struggling to process the reality unfolding in front of me.

Then it settled.

Slowly.

Painfully.

And when it did—

    (Daniel’s POV)For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.The world around me didn’t disappear—but it became distant, like everything had been pushed several steps away while I remained locked in one place… staring at the screen in my hand.Because what I was seeing—Was not something the mind accepts easily.Not at first.The video continued to play, but my brain lagged behind it, struggling to process the reality unfolding in front of me.Then it settled.Slowly.Painfully.And when it did—The weight of it hit me all at once.Benson.There was no mistake.No confusion.No shadow to hide behind.His face was clear.Uncovered.Bold.Like a man who believed he had nothing to fear.I leaned closer to the screen, my eyes narrowing as if that would somehow change what I was seeing.But it didn’t.It only made it worse.He was there.Standing inside Patrick’s house like he owned it.Not as a visitor.Not as someone sneaking around.But as someone with complete access.Complete control.And th

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 116- The Edge of Truth

    (Daniel’s POV)I took the risk.Even before I got there, I knew that was exactly what I was doing—walking straight into something I couldn’t fully predict. The kind of move that could either break a case wide open… or end everything before it even reached the courtroom.Amaka’s message had been too simple.Too precise.Just an address.No explanation.No context.No reassurance.And that silence—that deliberate lack of detail—felt heavier than anything she could have written.I didn’t come unprepared.Before leaving, I activated my live location, the secure channel I rarely used unless something felt truly off. Then I forwarded it to the office with a short message.If anything happens, trace this.I read it once.Then sent it.That alone told me the truth I didn’t want to admit—I wasn’t certain I would walk out of this clean.Still, I drove.The distance wasn’t far, but my mind refused to stay quiet. Thoughts came in waves, one after another, refusing to settle.What if it was a trap

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 115- The Message

    (Daniel’s POV)I tried Amaka’s number again.And again.And again.Each time, the same cold response—no connection. It wasn’t just that she wasn’t picking up. It felt deliberate. Like the line itself had been buried somewhere I couldn’t reach.By the fifth attempt, I lowered the phone slowly, staring at the screen as if it would suddenly change its mind and bring her voice through.Nothing.A tight feeling settled in my chest.Going to Patrick’s house wasn’t an option. Not now. Not with everything hanging by a thread. One wrong move, one wrong shadow in the wrong place—and Amaka could be dragged into something she might not escape from.And I couldn’t risk that.Not after everything.Not when Benson and Lucas were already circling like wounded predators, waiting for any sign of weakness.“No more investigation,” I muttered under my breath, repeating the decision I had forced myself to accept. “We meet in court.”Still… something didn’t sit right.Amaka wasn’t careless. If she had gone

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 114- The Call That Shouldn’t Have Come

    ( Daniel’s POV)The approval came quietly.No announcement. No celebration. No dramatic moment to mark it.Just a document placed in my hand and a single confirmation that changed everything.The court had accepted the case.For a few seconds, I just stood there, staring at the file like it might say something more. Like there was a hidden message between the lines that only I could see.But there wasn’t.It was simple.Clear.Final.We had crossed the line.A slow breath left my chest.“So… this is it.”The words came out under my breath, almost like I didn’t want anyone else to hear them.Because once a case gets to this stage, it stops being just an investigation.It becomes a battle.And not the kind you fight in the dark anymore.This one happens in the open.In front of everyone.I dropped the file on my desk and leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the ceiling.Summons would have been issued already.Lucas.Benson.Their names would be sitting on official documents by now,

    ( Daniel’s POV)I didn’t remember much of the drive from the hospital to the station. The road stretched ahead of me, familiar yet distant, like I was moving through something heavier than air. My hands were steady on the wheel, but my mind wasn’t. It kept circling back to Ariana… to the machines beside her bed… to the silence that followed every question she couldn’t yet answer.By the time I pulled into the station compound, I had already buried those thoughts where they couldn’t interfere with what needed to be done next.Work.That was the only thing that made sense now.The moment I stepped into the building, I felt it—that shift in atmosphere. It wasn’t loud. No one said anything directly. But the way a few officers paused mid-conversation… the way eyes followed me just a second longer than usual… it told me everything.This case was no longer just another file on my desk.Before I could even settle in, a junior officer hurried toward me.“Sir… the boss asked to see you immediat

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 112- When the Hunter Becomes the Target

    (Daniel’s POV)I stood by the door for a moment before stepping out.Ariana was asleep.For the first time in a long while, her face carried something close to peace. The tension that had followed her for months had finally eased, even if just for a moment. The child lay beside her, quiet, unaware of the weight of the world that had surrounded its arrival.I didn’t stay.She didn’t need to know everything.Not yet.Not how far the case had gone.Not how close everything was to breaking open.She deserved this moment—free from fear, free from questions.I closed the door gently behind me.⸻Alex was outside, seated but alert.The moment he saw me, he stood up quickly, his expression filled with anticipation.“How is she?” he asked.“She’s stable,” I replied. “Resting.”He nodded, relief settling in, but it didn’t take long before his attention shifted.“The case… how far?” he asked.I stepped closer.“We’ve made progress,” I said. “Interviews are done. Statements have been taken.”He w
