The guard

*1. 8:00am. Kano Maximum. Warden’s Office* “15 minutes. Monitored. Recorded.” Warden slid the phone across the table. James sat down. Orange jumpsuit. No cuffs. “Who’s it to?” “Ms. Willa Hayes,” the warden said. “Court approved. One time only.” James smiled. “Thank you.” Across town, Willa’s phone rang. Unknown number. Elma was in her office. Saw Willa’s face go blank. Willa: “It’s him.” Elma: “Don’t answer.” Willa picked up. Put it on speaker. “NFCC is listening.” _Click._ *2. 8:01am. The Call* James: “Hello, little sister.” Willa didn’t answer. James: “You look good on TV. The audit. Very... Okonkwo.” Willa: “You have 14 minutes.” James laughed. “Still counting? He’d like that. Mr. Okonkwo. 47.” Elma stepped closer to the phone. James: “Elma’s there too, isn’t she? Say hi, heiress.” Elma: “You don’t get to say my name.” James: “Tsk. 9 years and you’re still mad I used his name to get close?” Willa: “12 minutes.” James sighed. “Fine. Bus

CEO pin. “Motion: I accept nomination as CEO of Hayes Corp, by the Employee Trust Board.” Vote: 11-0. Willa seconded. Elma didn’t vote. She was already holding Nathan’s hand.

The wedding

*1. 8:22am. Hayes Corp. Courtyard. Abuja* 9 years and 1 day since 8:22am. They picked today on purpose. White chairs. No stage.

Marian was cooking in the back. Rice. The way he liked it. *2. 9:00am. She Walks* Elma. No big dress. White suit. Nathan in a navy suit. CEO pin gone. Just a man. Willa walked her halfway. Then stopped. “Your turn,” Willa whispered. Judge Adebayo did the ceremony. The same judge from yesterday. “Do you take this man?” Elma: “I do. Because he chose my father’s company over his own name.” “Do you take this woman?” Nathan: “I do. Because she taught me what legacy actually means.” *3. 9:22am. The Vows* Nathan: “I promise to run this company like a PA, not a king.” Elma: “I promise to never let a man in a cell decide our family.” Willa cried. Didn’t hide
