Amara thought her life was ordinary—church on Sundays, school during the week, laughter with friends, and quiet nights at home. But one stormy evening, everything changed. A phone call from her mother revealed a name long buried: Kenechukwu. A man tied to her family’s past… a past she was never meant to uncover. When strange messages begin arriving from an unknown number and shadows linger too close to her window, Amara realizes she’s caught in a web of secrets older than her. Each whisper from the past pulls her deeper into a truth her mother desperately tried to hide. Now Amara must decide: obey her mother’s warnings and live in the dark, or confront the haunting legacy that refuses to let her go. But one thing is certain—some truths don’t just stay buried; they come knocking. And when they do… they demand to be heard.
