Chapter 273: Loss of Control Chapter 273: Loss of Control “Grow a spine and start thinking for yourself, maybe even become better… or have me destroy your carefully painted image with one message?” Obinna’s fists clenched.

He wanted to bark back.

Shout.

Threaten.

But Nnenna wasn’t done.

“And don’t think you can stop me,” she added with a smirk that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

“Even if you take away all my gadgets, even if you lock me up in a dungeon or send me off to some forgotten corner of the kingdom, I still have someone.” Her voice dropped to a deadly whisper.

“Someone who’s watching.

Someone who will come expose you the moment they don’t hear from me for more than a week.” That shut him up.

For the first time, Obinna looked… unsure.

Not defeated, but definitely shaken.

He could no longer bluff his way out with dominance or threats.

She wasn’t just a pawn anymore.

She was a whole new player on the board.

And she had just declared war.

He stared at her, trying to read her face, see if she was bluffing.

But Nnenna’s expression was pure steel.

This time, she meant every word.

“Fine,” Obinna muttered at last, his pride clearly fighting his words.

“But you must do as you promised.

Don’t tell anyone that you were the one doing all the work for me in the past.” Nnenna raised an eyebrow, arms crossed, face completely unreadable.

“Well… I can’t make any promises just yet.” His eyes narrowed instantly.

“You’ll have to lift the ban on me and Ebere first.

No more restrictions on our movements.

No more cutting off allowances and resources.

Then, maybe, I’ll be satisfied enough to keep your little secret.” His temper flared.

“Are you threatening me now?!

Do you forget who you’re talking to?” But Nnenna didn’t even flinch.

“No,” she said smoothly.

“I haven’t forgotten.

Not at all.” She took a slow step forward, her eyes locked on his like a challenge.

“I just happen to know something else, that your precious business empire is everything to you.

And that’s why, Obinna, that’s exactly how I’ll get what I want.” A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips, sharp and wicked.

Not because she enjoyed threatening him, but because it felt good to finally have control.

Obinna clenched his jaw, his pride clearly bruised, but he didn’t push further.

“Fine,” he muttered again, quieter this time.

“Just keep up your end of the bargain.” Then, like it was the most natural thing in the world, he added, “Where’s my computer?

I still need to go back and figure out how to finish the work.” Nnenna turned around to look for it, her smile widening with satisfaction.

He still thinks the work is a priority.

Good.

She scanned the room for the laptop.

In truth, she didn’t know where it was, and honestly, she didn’t care.

The last time she had seen it, she had thrown it across her bed in a moment of frustration.

Maybe it was still there.

Maybe not.

It didn’t matter.

Because she had already won.

She had this trump card ready a long time ago, tucked in her pocket, waiting.

But she hadn’t played it.
