She grabbed the phone and stepped into the hallway, her heart pounding.

“Miss Ifyoma,” her assistant’s voice crackled urgently. “You need to come right away. There’s an emergency board meeting. Legal issues. Your aunt and uncles are trying to take away your power. They’re moving fast.”

Ifyoma closed her eyes and leaned back against the cool wall.

This was what she had feared.

While she had been hiding in borrowed peace, the wolves had been sharpening their teeth.

“I’ll be there,” she said, her voice low and steady. “I’m coming now.”

She hung up and stood still for a long moment, feeling everything shift beneath her.

Tunday’s frown deepened.

“Are you sure you’re all right?” he asked, concern in his voice.

“I just have something important to deal with,” she said, trying to keep her tone light.

Her entire body screamed, Tell him now.
