The air in the Kanu household was heavy with tension as Michael and Tolani came down the stairs to address the family. The children, including Victory, Destiny, Adah, and their half-siblings, Lila and Amaka’s children, sat in the living room, waiting for a decision. The events of the past few days had drained everyone emotionally, and uncertainty hung in the air like a dark cloud.
Michael cleared his throat, commanding everyone’s attention. “We have decided,” he began, his voice firm, “that we are not going anywhere.”
A murmur rippled through the room. Adah looked surprised, Destiny raised an eyebrow, and Victory folded his arms skeptically. Even Tolani, though she was aware of Michael’s decision, watched him intently as he spoke.
