Episode 4 — The Stranger

“I thought he was dead,” Mrs. Evelyn repeated.

Daniel stared at her.

“Mummy, who is he?”

She sat down quietly.

“His name is Michael.”

“Michael what?” Grace asked.

“Michael Okoro. He was your father's business partner.”

Uncle Samuel frowned.

“Business partner?”

Evelyn nodded.

“Yes. They ran a transport business together many years ago.”

Daniel looked at the photograph again.

“But why would Dad keep his picture hidden?”

Mrs. Evelyn sighed.

“Because they had a serious disagreement.”

“What kind of disagreement?” Grace asked.

Evelyn hesitated.

“I never knew the full details. Your father simply told me never to trust Michael again.”

Samuel picked up the black notebook.

“Then this may tell us what happened.”

He opened it.

The first few pages were blank.

Then he found an entry.

“Michael came again today. He says he wants what belongs to him.”

Daniel looked at his mother.

“What belongs to him?”

“I don't know,” she replied.

Samuel continued reading.

The next entry made everyone silent.

“If anything happens to me, Evelyn must never give Michael the documents.”

Grace's eyes widened.

“Documents? Which documents?”

Evelyn immediately stood up.

“There were some property documents your father kept.”

“Where are they?” Daniel asked.

“I don't know.”

Samuel looked at the wooden box.

“Maybe they're here.”

They searched through the box again.

Nothing.

Suddenly, Grace noticed something inside the old diary.

“Mummy, there's a loose page.”

She carefully pulled it out.

Written on it was an address.

Daniel read it aloud.

“Number 18, Oke Street.”

Samuel looked at Evelyn.

“Do you know that place?”

Evelyn's face went pale.

“Yes.”

“Whose house is it?”

She looked at Daniel.

“Michael's.”

Nobody spoke.

Then Daniel's phone rang.

He looked at the screen.

Unknown Number.

He answered.

“Hello?”

There was silence.

“Hello? Who is this?”

A man's voice finally came through.

“Daniel.”

Daniel froze.

“How do you know my name?”

The man chuckled softly.

“Because I knew your father.”

Daniel stood up.

“What do you want?”

The voice became serious.

“Tell your mother to stop searching.”

Daniel's heart began pounding.

“Who are you?”

The man paused.

Then he said,

“Ask your mother what really happened to your father.”

The call ended.

Daniel slowly lowered the phone.

Everyone was staring at him.

“What did he say?” Grace asked.

Daniel looked at his mother.

“He said we should stop searching.”

Mrs. Evelyn's eyes filled with tears.

Then she whispered,

“There is something I never told you about your father's death.”

Episode 3 — The Diary

“Bring the diary,” Uncle Samuel said.

Grace stood up immediately.

“I know where it is.”

She returned a few minutes later with an old brown diary.

Mrs. Evelyn stared at it.

“I haven't opened that thing in years.”

Samuel took the diary and carefully turned the pages.

“Show me the messages you were talking about.”

Grace pointed to one of the pages.

“There.”

Samuel looked at it, then at the note on the table.

His eyes widened.

“The handwriting is almost identical.”

Daniel leaned over.

“But why would someone copy Dad's handwriting?”

Nobody answered.

Mrs. Evelyn suddenly stood up.

“Wait.”

Everyone looked at her.

“I remember something.”

“What?” Daniel asked.

“Your father had a small notebook he always kept in his office. After he died, I couldn't find it.”

Samuel frowned.

“What was inside?”

“I don't know. He never allowed anyone to touch it.”

Grace looked at Daniel.

“Could that notebook explain all this?”

Daniel shook his head.

“Maybe.”

Samuel closed the diary.

“Then we need to search the office.”

They all walked into the small room at the back of the house.

After several minutes, Grace opened an old cabinet.

“There's nothing here.”

Daniel checked the drawers.

“Wait.”

He pulled out a small wooden box.

“Mummy, is this Dad's?”

Mrs. Evelyn moved closer.

Her hands began to tremble.

“Yes.”

Samuel looked at her.

“Open it.”

She hesitated.

Then she unlocked the box.

Inside was an old photograph, a bunch of documents, and a small black notebook.

Daniel picked up the notebook.

Before he could open it, something slipped from between the pages and fell to the floor.

It was a photograph.

Grace picked it up.

She stared at it for a few seconds.

“Daniel…”

“What?”

“Look at this.”

Daniel took the photograph.

His face changed.

It was their father standing beside a man none of them recognized.

But written behind the photograph were four words:

“He knows the truth.”

Samuel immediately took the photograph from Daniel.

“Who is this man?”

Mrs. Evelyn stared at the picture.

Then she whispered,

“I know him.”

Everyone turned toward her.

“Who is he, Mummy?”

She took a deep breath.

“He was your father's closest friend.”

Samuel looked at her.

“And why didn't you tell us about him?”

Mrs. Evelyn's voice trembled.

“Because I thought he was dead.”

Episode 2 — The Warning

“Who could have written this?” Grace asked, staring at the note.

Nobody answered.

Daniel picked up the envelope and examined it carefully.

“There’s no name.”

Mrs. Evelyn sat down slowly.

“I don’t understand. Who would want to frighten me like this?”

Grace looked at Daniel.

“Maybe the person who took the money.”

Daniel immediately looked at her.

“Grace, please. You’re still accusing me?”

“I’m only saying what everyone is thinking.”

“No, you’re not. You’re saying what you want everyone to believe.”

“Daniel!” their mother warned.

Before the argument could continue, someone knocked on the door.

Grace opened it.

It was Uncle Samuel.

“I got your call, Evelyn. What happened?”

Mrs. Evelyn handed him the note without saying a word.

Samuel read it twice.

His expression became serious.

“Where did you find this?”

“Under my bed,” Evelyn replied.

Samuel looked at Daniel.

“Who was in the house today?”

Daniel answered immediately.

“Me, Grace and Mummy.”

Grace shook her head.

“I left for the market for about thirty minutes.”

Daniel looked at her.

“You didn't tell us that before.”

“Because I didn't think it mattered.”

Samuel raised his hand.

“Everybody calm down.”

He looked at Evelyn.

“When did you last see the money?”

“This morning.”

“And who knew you had it?”

Evelyn paused.

“I told Samuel about it yesterday.”

Everyone suddenly looked at him.

Samuel frowned.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Daniel quickly spoke.

“Uncle, nobody is accusing you.”

“But somebody is clearly trying to make this family turn against itself,” Samuel replied.

He placed the note on the table.

“Don't accuse anybody until we know the truth.”

Then Grace noticed something.

“Uncle Samuel…”

“Yes?”

“This handwriting…”

She picked up the note and stared at it carefully.

“I've seen it before.”

Daniel stepped closer.

“Where?”

Grace slowly looked at their mother.

“Mummy's old diary.”

Mrs. Evelyn's face changed.

“My diary?”

Grace nodded.

“Yes. The handwriting looks exactly like the person who used to write messages in it.”

Samuel looked confused.

“Whose handwriting?”

Grace swallowed.

“Dad's.”

The room became completely silent.

Daniel stared at her.

“But Dad has been dead for eight years.”

Mrs. Evelyn's hands began to tremble.

Samuel looked at the note again.

Then he quietly said,

“Then somebody is copying his handwriting.”

Daniel's voice dropped.

“Why?”

Samuel looked at everyone.

“That's what we need to find out.”

And somewhere inside that house, someone was listening.

Episode 1 — The Accusation

“Daniel, please wait!”

Daniel stopped at the gate and turned around.

“What is it, Grace?”

Grace hurried toward him, breathing heavily.

“Please, did you take the money from Mama’s room?”

Daniel frowned.

“What money?”

“The ₦500,000 she kept inside her wardrobe.”

Daniel stared at her in disbelief.

“Grace, are you serious?”

“I’m asking you a simple question.”

“And I’m telling you I know nothing about the money.”

Before Grace could respond, their mother, Mrs. Evelyn, stepped out of the house.

“What is happening here?”

Grace quickly turned to her.

“Mummy, the money you kept in your wardrobe is missing.”

Mrs. Evelyn froze.

“Missing?”

“Yes, ma.”

She looked at Daniel.

“Daniel, were you in my room this afternoon?”

“Yes, Mummy. I went in to get the documents you asked me to bring.”

“And did you see the money?”

“No.”

Grace folded her arms.

“But you were the only person at home after Mummy left for the market.”

Daniel looked at her.

“So because I was home, you think I stole it?”

“I didn't say that.”

“You don't have to. Your face already said it.”

“Enough!” Mrs. Evelyn shouted.

Everyone became quiet.

She looked at both of them.

“I don't want accusations. Daniel, did you take my money?”

Daniel's eyes became watery.

“Mummy, I swear with everything I have, I didn't take your money.”

Mrs. Evelyn sighed.

“Then where is it?”

“I don't know.”

Grace suddenly spoke.

“Mummy, we should call Uncle Samuel. He always knows what to do.”

Daniel shook his head.

“No. Don't call anybody yet.”

“Why?” Grace asked.

“Because whoever took that money may still be around.”

Grace looked at him suspiciously.

“What are you trying to say?”

Daniel looked at her for a few seconds.

“I’m saying we should search the house properly before accusing anybody.”

Mrs. Evelyn nodded slowly.

“Alright. Let’s search.”

They searched the bedroom, the sitting room, the kitchen and even the store.

Nothing.

Just when everyone was about to give up, Mrs. Evelyn noticed something beneath the bed.

A small black envelope.

She bent down and picked it up.

Daniel moved closer.

“What is inside?”

Mrs. Evelyn opened it.

Her face immediately changed.

Grace noticed.

“Mummy, what is it?”

Mrs. Evelyn slowly looked up at Daniel.

Inside the envelope was a handwritten note.

“You will regret trusting your son.”

Nobody spoke.

Daniel swallowed hard.

“Mummy… who wrote that?”

Mrs. Evelyn looked frightened.

“I don't know.”

Grace stepped closer.

“Then maybe this is bigger than the missing money.”

Daniel stared at the note.

For the first time, he became afraid.

Because whoever wrote it knew something about their family.

And they were clearly not finished.
