Aisha couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her. Ever since she had seen that mysterious woman who looked just like her, shadows seemed to follow her every step—even in the bright, crowded streets of Nairobi.
That evening, she decided to take a longer walk through the quieter part of town, hoping movement would clear her mind. But as she turned a corner near the old bookstore, a chill ran down her spine. Footsteps echoed hers—too deliberate to be coincidence.
"Who's there?" she called, her voice firmer than she felt.
Silence. Then, just for a second, she thought she saw a flash of a face disappearing into the alley.
Her phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number:
"Stop looking. Or you'll regret it."
Aisha's heart raced. This wasn't random. Someone was sending her a warning—and it was personal.
She remembered Daniel's words from days before: "There are people from my past who are dangerous. You need to be careful."
She tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. Anxiety coiled tighter in her chest. Who was this woman? Why did she feel connected to Aisha in a way that was terrifying—and familiar?
A sudden movement startled her. A stray cat darted across the street—but it wasn't the cat that made her jump. Someone had brushed past her shoulder as if testing her reaction. She spun around. No one. Just the empty street.
Shaking, Aisha realized she couldn't do this alone. She had to find Daniel. She needed answers—and protection.
Little did she know, the danger was closer than she thought, and someone was already plotting the next move.
