Chapter 61

Victoria woke Wednesday morning to the sensation of King being awake beside her,laying on one of his elbows beside her, expressing tenderness."How long have you been awake?" she asked, sounding sleepy."Long enough to count the worry lines on your forehead," King said softly, his finger tracing her brow. "Even in sleep, you look stressed."Victoria stretched, feeling the accumulated tension in her muscles. "What time is it?" she asked, reaching for her phone."Six-thirty. You have thirty minutes before Ngozi's first call of the day." King pulled her back into his arms. Victoria settled on his chest, sniffing in his scent. These quiet moments had become her sanctuary."I'm scared but I really want to win," Victoria whispered. "I want to serve.”"You will win," King said with absolute certainty. "Tomorrow night, you're going to stand on that stage and give a victory speech. I know it."Her phone rang at exactly seven. Ngozi, punctual as always."Good Morning, Senator-to-be," Ngozi's v

Victoria's phone was ringing in the middle of the night, she heard it ring so loud like a speaker. She reached for it blindly,but her hand found King's chest instead. She realized he was already awake."Don't answer it," he said quietly.That made her eyes snap open. The clock on the bedside stool read 5:47 AM. Her phone rang again. Ngozi's name flashed on the screen."Something's wrong," Victoria whispered, already knowing it in her bones.King sat up anxiously,watching her take in callShe answered. "Ngozi?""Turn on your TV. Channel Seven." Ngozi's voice was cold, her. "I'm on my way to you."Victoria's hands trembled as she reached for the remote. King was already moving, putting on his clothes.The TV came on and Victoria's world shattered into a thousand pieces.The headline scrolled across the bottom of the screen in bold red letters: BREAKING NEWS: Senate Candidate's Hidden Secret Exposed-Exclusive Video Shows Victoria Sleepwalking.The footage was grainy showing Victoria in he

She dropped her bag loudly on top of the table,pulled out her laptop, fingers already flying across the keyboard. Amanda and Uche stood behind her, while Victoria and King stood across the table with their hands still clasped together."The opposition has already issued a statement," Ngozi continued, turning the screen toward them. "They're expressing deep concern for your wellbeing and suggesting you seek professional help before continuing the campaign.""How generous of them," Victoria said bitterly.King's countenance was very cold. "We'll know who copied the file within the hour,Marcus is on it.""That's good, but it won't help us with the immediate problem," Ngozi said. She looked directly at Victoria. "Your poll numbers are already dropping."Victoria felt the words hit her like a blow. Dropped? In less than an hour."What about social media?" she asked.Amanda pulled out her phone. "It's two faced,your core supporters are rallying hard hashtags that says #StandWithVictoria. Th

When they pulled up to the headquarters, Victoria saw that the media presence had somehow grown even larger. News vans lined the street with reporters and their cameras behind police barricades."Jesus Christ" Uche breathed. "Is this presidential press conference?""It might as well be," Ngozi said firmly. "Today will show the strength of Victoria in politics.""No pressure," Victoria muttered. King rubbed her hand one final time before they got out of the car. "You've got this. Just remember You're only explaining not apologising."Victoria nodded, took a deep breath and stepped out into the chaos.The conference room had been transformed into real chaos. Today she'd either rise from this scandal or get consumed by it.Mrs Esther was already there, standing beside with Uche. Her mother looked so pale, the worry etched deep in her face. But when she saw Victoria, she straightened her spine and gave her daughter a proud nod.I'm doing this for you too, Mom’ Victoria thought to herself.

Chapter 65

As Victoria moved toward the booth, Uche and King had to wait in the designated area as no one should accompany her into the voting booth. For the first time all morning, she was alone.She stepped behind the curtain, faced the ballot, and her hands started shaking. Her own name stared back at her in black print.VICTORIA NANYA OKEREKE - INDEPENDENT PARTY.Victoria stared at her name.Her hand hovered over the ballot. She should mark her own name,so Victoria pressed the column next to her own name. Then she submitted it and stepped out of the booth.King was there immediately, reading her face. "Done?""Yeah." As they stepped back outside into the chaos to get into the car Victoria felt something shift in her chest and that was Purpose.The crowd had grown even larger. The chanting was louder, Then she spotted Daniel Okonkwo standing at the back of the crowd, hiding behind a news van. He lifted his phone, pointed it at her and mouthed something. She couldn't hear him over the noise, bu

They arrived at campaign headquarters fifteen minutes later.The building was buzzing with activity.She walked through the chaos like a ghost not responding to the congratulations and encouragement thrown her way. She just went straight to her private office and locked the door.Then she pulled out her phone and looked at the evidence again.It all looked real,but real didn't always mean true.Victoria opened her laptop and started digging. She pulled up King's company records, transaction histories and email account activity. If he had sent those emails, there would be traces beyond just the screenshots.She worked for thirty minutes, following digital breadcrumbs, checking cross-references, looking for anything that would prove or disprove the accusations.And slowly,she started to dot put the lines together.The emails had been sent from King's account, yes! but at 3 AM on Tuesday, King had been with her at the penthouse. She remembered that night clearly because she'd woken from a ni

"You investigated?" King's voice was thick with emotion. "Victoria…Wow""Yeah I couldn't just accept it," Victoria interrupted, pacing her office at campaign headquarters. "I checked everything, especially the timestamp that doesn't match, I know the truth now. She heard him exhale sharply. "I didn't even think to check the timestamps. I was too busy panicking that you'd believe I could do that to you.""The wire transfer uses shell companies that don't exist in your actual holdings," Victoria continued. "And the security authorization in the email shows three forty-seven PM, but the real system logs show Marcus made the only access change for Adebayo at 11:22 AM that day.""King, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I doubted you even for a second. I should have trusted you immediately, should have known you'd never""Stop," King said gently. "Victoria, you've been betrayed by so many people. It's not unreasonable that when presented with evidence you'd struggle to know who to trust.""But you've
