Chapter 21: Visiting Our Sister 4

Chidera opened his mouth to protest, but the words caught in his throat as Somto's presence loomed over him like a mountain.

"Listen carefully," Somto continued, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous pitch. "You will prepare a proper apology. Not some half hearted excuse.

Not some cowardly deflection. You will look her in the eye and take responsibility for what you did. Because this time, Chidera, there's no running away from it."

The weight of his brother's words pressed down on Chidera, leaving him unable to respond. He nodded stiffly, his face pale, his mind racing with dread.

Somto studied him for a moment longer before turning on his heel. "I'll give you ten minutes," he said over his shoulder as he walked toward the door. "Don't make me come back and drag you out myself."

"But I didn't do anything wrong!" Chidera decided to protest, his voice trembling yet laced with defiance.

Somto stopped in his tracks, turning back to face the boy with a glare so cold it could freeze fire. "You didn't do anything wrong?" he repeated, his tone eerily calm, the kind that sent chills down the spine. "You pushed Nnenna down the stairs. Is that reason good enough for you?"

Chidera flinched at the accusation but quickly straightened himself, his jaw tightening as anger flared in his eyes. "She deserved it!" he snapped, his voice rising as if trying to convince himself as much as his brother.

Somto's eyes narrowed dangerously, but he let the boy continue.
