Chairman Dubem came, extending his hand. "Miss Okereke, that was exceptional. You've given us much to consider.""Thank you, Chairman." Victoria shook his hand, trying to project confidence while her legs trembled beneath her suit her the scary messageAmanda appeared with champagne she'd apparently hidden somewhere. "Celebrating early, but I don't care. Vicky, you were incredible. The way you handled that line about your age. kiss kiss."Victoria accepted the glass gratefully. She was already looking stressed,her head was pounding and she desperately wanted to sit down or probably go home. King as always was by her side. "Come on lets go.They can take up from here. You're done enough for tonight.""You should rest." His tone left no room for argument. "Amanda we're leaving. Call if anything urgent comes up."He guided her towards the private elevator away from the campaign hall,his hand firm on her lower back as she staggered against the wall."I'm exhausted," she admitted."I know.

Victoria couldn't sleep after Grace's call. Was Grace dead too? she thought.At 3 AM, Victoria gave up on sleep and wandered into King's home office as she remembered her mother had mentioned a letter from her father which she left on King's desk when she and Uche arrived.It was a simple white envelope with Victoria's name in her father's handwriting.Her hands trembled as she picked it up."You should open it," King said from the doorway,he apparently followed her" Or do you want me to give you privacy?""Stay Babe."King settled into the chair beside her as Victoria carefully opened the envelope. Two pages, with her father's bold handwriting on them.My dearest Victoria,If you're reading this, I'm dead. I'm sorry, princess I know how much that hurts. But I need you to understand something,I can't keep calm even in debt.A week ago, I received concrete proof that Mbanefo has been embezzling education funds for six years. Millions of naira meant for schools, for children,diverted to

Saturday morning arrived in a twinkle of an eye with so much anxiousness of what the day will be like. Victoria stood in front of King's bedroom mirror, adjusting her black dress for the third."Stop," King said, appearing behind her. His hands rested on her shoulders. "You look perfect." "No babe,I look awkward.""You look strong Babe." He turned her to face him. "And we also have taken every precaution. Marcus has thirty guards positioned round the cemetery.""But you know they'll still try." Victoria's voice was low. "Not with the evidence that went public. Mbanefo's will get more furious.King sighed deeply because she was right. "Then we'd get prepared for them," King said firmly. "And Listen Babe? If anything happens there,please just run. You don't need to play hero,you are the real target so you run and let Marcus's team handle it.""And for me?,don't worry I will be okay and make sure your family is okay too.Understood?."A knock on the door interrupted, Amanda's voice came c

Some moments later,King and Uche drove in,Victoria met them by the car loot. “Uche please be okay, everything will be fine” Victoria hugged and encouraged him,he nodded “Let me go see mom and take my shower” as he walked away.“Okay Bro,Dinner will be served soon,the chef is cooking “Victoria responded as she clung unto King's hands.“Babe that Grace woman called me again and said someone close to the family was part of Dad's death. She said they were after her and hurriedly hung up. I have been calling her number back. It's not been connecting.”“For real??? Who could that be? This is getting serious o” King said with so much surprise as they walked back to his penthouse talking and analyzing who the enemy could be.The rest of the evening,Victoria remained restless.Grace's words echoed in her mind repeatedly. She managed to eat a few spoons of foodat the family dinner,inshort it was a silent moment for everyone at the dining table.At 2 AM, she gave up on rest and sat on the bed in

The day crawled by with agonizing slowness.Marcus prepped all the equipment; tiny microphone hidden in Victoria's jacket, GPS tracker in her shoe,a bullet proof and panic button disguised as a bracelet.King coordinated with his security team, mapping every exit from the textile factory, positioning guards in strategic locations.Amanda had researched about Grace Obi, to verify her story is actually true. "She actually did work with Daniel, She disappeared right after his death. No trace of her either she's really good at hiding or…""Or she's already dead and this is someone impersonating her," Victoria finished. "It's possible." Amanda's expression was disheartening. "Vee, I don't like this. Too many many unknowns.""I don't like it either." Victoria checked her watch and it was Six pm. Three hours until the meeting. "But we're out of options. The campaign is suspended, Cassie's in a coma, Daniel dead. Grace might be our last chance at real answers."Uche appeared at the door entra
