Parish House Escapades (Chapter 4) [18+]

The amen was a cover. Amobi knows it now. The woman from the counselling room is Lady Comfort, married, church-famous, smiling through the panic of being seen. She tests him. He lies. She leaves. Minutes later Father Silas walks out in full holy cosplay, handshake firm, voice soft, like the last ten minutes never happened. Then Jude strolls in, the seminarian from the window, and gets assigned as Amobi’s project assistant. Mentor and mentee, same roof, same secret. The solar job just became a group project from hell.

He finally gets a room and a minute to breathe. Then Ugo knocks with a tray and a story that wrecks the silence. Old friend’s wife. A marriage that cracked. Tears that do not stay polite. One hug turns into a line he swore he would not cross, in the one house where every closed door is already lying. Chapter 4 is the “I am not like them” episode that expires on contact. The food goes cold. The resolve goes first. You are not ready for how Chapter 5 starts.
