"I warned you about that boy," he said angrily.
Kenty burst into tears.
"I didn't know he was like this!"
Precious stepped forward.
"We need to stay calm."
David spoke next.
"We should inform the police."
But her father shook his head.
"No."
"Why?" I asked. He hesitated.
Then he revealed something none of us expected.
"There is something hidden."
Everyone stared at him.
"What?" Precious whispered.
He sighed deeply.
"Years ago, when our businesses began collapsing, I sold most of our property."
"But not all."
He looked toward the old storage building at the back of the compound.
"There is one piece of land left. The final asset of this family."
Kenty's face filled with horror.
"If Sonko finds out…"
"He won't," her father said firmly.
But fate had already begun moving.
Outside the compound wall, a shadow listened quietly.
Sonko.
