Chapter Thirty-one: The Clone’s Awakening

The chopper ride back to Lagos was a blur of wind and whispers, the island receding like a bad dream. Amara leaned against Ezekiel, her body aching from bruises and her mind from revelations. The failsafe was stopped, Adebayo in cuffs, Ngozi’s body left for the authorities. But the alert on Ezekiel’s tablet—Secondary Failsafe Activated: 24 Hours Until Cascade—mocked their victory. And the message: You stopped nothing. The real legacy begins. - N“Ngozi,” Amara muttered, her voice lost in the rotor noise. “She’s dead. I saw her die.”Ifeanyi, bandaged leg propped up, shook his head. “If she’s a clone, there could be more. Adebayo was playing God—DNA labs, hidden facilities. Nkechi’s essence, replicated.”Chioma, pale from her wound but alert, nodded. “The files mentioned a network of labs. One in Lagos, under the old KaluTech headquarters. If there’s a backup clone, that’s where she’d be.”Ezekiel’s grip tightened on the controls. “We end this. Tonight.”They landed at a private helipa

Chapter Thirty-two: The Village Whisper

The message on Amara's phone glowed like a beacon in the dim cabin of the private jet racing back to Lagos, its words searing into her mind: Come to the village. The truth awaits. - Nkechi. Her fingers trembled as she reread it for the tenth time, the name—her mother's name—stirring a storm of hope and dread. The plane shuddered through turbulence, mirroring the chaos in her heart. Was this the real Nkechi, hidden all these years, or another clone's cruel trap, designed to lure her into Adebayo's collapsing web?Ezekiel leaned over, his brow furrowed as he glanced at the screen. "It's a setup. Ngozi—or whatever clone sent it—wants to draw you out. We can't risk it."Amara shook her head, her voice steady despite the knot in her throat. "The village—it's where my parents met, where Nkechi grew up. If there's any truth left, it's there. And the cascade… we have 22 hours.

Chapter Thirty-three: The Mother's Shadow

The shrine grove was a battlefield under the moonlit sky, gunfire punctuating the night like thunder. Amara's heart stopped as the woman emerged from the shadows—Nkechi, or what looked like her, her face lined with years but her eyes the same warm brown Amara remembered from childhood dreams. The virus upload bar crept to 60%, the console humming with energy, but Ngozi—the clone—froze, her gun wavering between Amara and the newcomer."Mother?" Ngozi whispered, her voice cracking with confusion and rage.Nkechi— if it was her—raised her hands, her voice steady but trembling. "Stand down, Ngozi. It's over."Amara's team—Ezekiel, Ifeanyi, Chioma—held their positions, weapons trained on Adebayo's men, who hesitated, their loyalty fracturing at the sight of this ghost. The aunt, hidden in the trees, watched with wide eyes, the village elders gathering at the edge, murmuring prayers to the ancestors."You're dead," Amara breathed, her gun still raised, tears streaming down her face. "I buri
