Rosa exhaled and said she was already planning to leave the city. She had been looking for somewhere else to continue her work.
It hurt her that she wouldn’t be able to leave her legacy in the city where she was born, schooled and invested so much of herself. Starting from scratch again felt like a punishment.
Marcus shook his head. “No. You will do whatever you want here. It’s insane that you have to run because of him p>
Rosa scoffed. “So I should keep fighting him? When I can’t win? Uhn p>
Marcus leaned forward. “Don’t worry. I will take care of him. You will do whatever you want when I’m finished with him”
They all burst into loud laughter. They thought he was bluffing or trying to sound heroic. Olive even joked that he watched too many action movies.
After that they drifted into lighter conversations. The girls started teasing Rosa about how she was basically a nun No man in her life. No dating or any romance p>
Rosa rolled her eyes. “I only focus on my career. Men or any love life are distractions p>
Olive nudged Amara and whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. “So she is a virgin at forty-three p>
“What? That isn’t true,” Marcus was amazed hearing this. His eyes widened. How could a forty-three-year-old woman still be a virgin?
Rosa scoffed. “Yeah yeah, it is true. Think whatever you want. I just don’t fancy sex p>
Marcus added, “That’s because you never have it p>
She nodded in understanding, “Maybe that, I will try it one day p>
It surprised Marcus how easily they all talked about uncomfortable things even though they had just met. The room was filled with soft chatter, small jokes.
It was already late in the night before Marcus realized how late it was…
Marcus stretched his neck a little and said, “I think it’s about time I leave p>
The girls paused. Amara frowned. “Wait… Uncle Marcus, where did you live p>
“New york City,” Marcus replied casually.
Olive’s eyes widened. “That’s not even near here. That’s a three-hour ride p>
Amara added, “And it’s already late. You will reach home around midnight.
Marcus waved his hand. “It’s fine. I will manage. It actually nothing”
Olive shook her head. “No. Why don’t you sleep over and go tomorrow p>
Amara brightened up. “Yes! Stay with us tonight!” She looked at Rosa. “Auntie, right p>
Rosa nodded gently. “You can stay, Marcus. It’s safer. They are numbers of crime in Winchester”
Marcus looked around the room. Barely enough space for three people, let alone four. He didn’t want to be a burden.

He sighed. “It’s okay. I will get home safely p>

Amara’s face instantly twisted. “Uncle Marcus doesn’t want to stay because our room is small and not pretty p>
Olive nodded with a pout. “Yeah. Uncle Marcus is making me feel bad p>
They both stared at him with matching whiny faces. They had grown attached to him and didn’t want to let him leave. They put on a cute baby’s face.
Marcus lifted his hands in defeat. “Alright… alright. I will stay p>
The girls cheered quietly. Rosa stood and said, “Let me arrange the space so you can sleep somewhere comfortable p>
She turned and walked to the small side room. Marcus watched her go.
“You will eat her up at this rate”, Olive joked.
Marcus jolted. “What? What are you talking about p>
Olive giggled. “Do you love my aunt?” Her eyes were bright with excitement. “Why don’t you woo her? I can help you p>
Amara clapped her hands. “Yes yes! Please marry my aunt. You’re a nice man. Very handsome too p>
Marcus scoffed hard. “Get away with your weird ideas. What’s wrong with both of you? Morever, I also have my fiancee”
The girls expressions immediately changed.
Marcus scoffed, and also, Rosa was like 10 years older than him. Then, Rosa returned with a mattress and created a space for him. They had a lot of conversation before everyone drifted to sleep. Squeezing each other.

The next morning, Marcus was awakened by a tap.
“Uncle Marcus… uncle Marcus “, He groaned as he opened his eyes. The morning sun was shining in.
He sat up straight and Olive who woke him immediately added. Her voice shook with panic, “You have to see this p>
Marcus rubbed his eyes. “What is it? What happened p>
Olive didn’t answer. She hurried back to where Rosa and Amara were standing. Both were glued to Rosa’s phone, their faces stiff with shock. Marcus slowly got up and walked toward them.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
Rosa didn’t speak. She simply turned the screen toward him.
Marcus’ jaw tightened.
It was the video from yesterday- the one Kingsley son recorded when he asked Marcus to kneel.
But this time, it was edited and twisted.
A voiceover played. It was Rual’s voice, smug and calm.
“This poor elderly shameless man ambushed me and my friend yesterday and asked us for money. He’s older and

we’re kids, but he kept threatening us when we refused. I told him to kneel and ask properly. Such a shame. He said he didn’t have a single coin on him p>
