A few days had passed since Dayo had sat across from Michael.
The meeting had ended exactly the way he wanted it to. Michael had finally understood that the man he once considered insignificant was now sitting outside the reach of every favor, threat, and private arrangement he had spent years building. Dayo had left the police station without raising his voice, without touching him, and without giving Michael anything he could use to claim that Dayo had come there looking for revenge.
Since then, life had continued moving around him.
There were still calls to answer, meetings to attend, schedules to manage, and people at JD Records asking for decisions that could not wait simply because Dayo's mind was somewhere else. He dealt with all of it, but whenever the noise stopped, his thoughts went back to Jennifer.
