Kingpin (Chapter 9)[18+]

Kene cheats death by a hair’s breadth when Aku appears at his door, separated only by a thin wall, a towel, and pure luck. As Mary casually reveals Aku’s true power in Lagos’ underworld, Kene realises he’s been hiding in the very lair controlled by the men hunting him. At dawn, he flees the brothel and the city, only to be pulled into a new web of danger by Victoria’s mysterious message and a rendezvous in Ibadan.

Then comes the blow that shatters him: Jericho may be coming for his innocent sister, turning family into the deadliest leverage of all. Now Kene must decide whether to walk into a possible trap or risk losing the one person he can’t afford to sacrifice—making the next chapter impossible to resist.
