THE HOUSE THAT BURIED ITS OWNERS:HUNTED TRUTH
345 Views · Ongoing · emmanuelagbodemu
Some houses keep memories. This one keeps secrets—and everyone who tries to uncover them.
Twenty-two-year-old Adesewa Agbodemu has spent her entire life believing that her parents died in a tragic accident when she was a little girl. Raised in Lagos by her hardworking aunt, she has learned to survive disappointment, ignore unanswered questions, and build a future that has nothing to do with her mysterious past.
Everything changes when a lawyer arrives with news that her estranged great-uncle, Chief Akinwale Agbodemu, has died under suspicious circumstances. He has left Adesewa an unexpected inheritance: an enormous ancestral mansion in an old Yoruba town in southwestern Nigeria, a fortune she never knew existed, and a sealed letter bearing a warning.
NEVER SLEEP IN THE WEST WING. NEVER OPEN THE ROOM BENEATH THE STAIRS. AND NEVER TRUST ANYONE WHO CALLS YOU THE LAST AGBODEMU.
Adesewa dismisses the warning as the paranoia of a dead man. Determined to discover why her family abandoned her, she travels to the mansion, where she meets a household filled with strangers who know far too much about her childhood.
There is Mama Ronke, the elderly housekeeper who refuses to enter certain rooms after sunset. There is Kola, a charming but secretive young man who claims to be the estate manager. There is Chief Akinwale's ambitious nephew, Folarin, who believes the inheritance belongs to him. And there is Detective Tunde Bakare, a determined investigator who has spent years searching for the truth behind a series of disappearances connected to the Agbodemu family.
On her first night in the mansion, Adesewa hears a woman's voice calling her childhood name from behind a locked door.
