Some relationships don’t end…
they just get interrupted by life.

Before the marriage.
Before the politics.
Before the Senate run…

there was @_chav0nne

In Episode 9 of *Then There Was*, @johnwaynesiii reconnects with someone who knew him before the image, before the pressure, and before ambition changed everything around him.

What starts as a simple conversation slowly reveals something deeper: unfinished feelings, unspoken tension, and the kind of history that never fully disappears.

Then the news breaks… and the stakes suddenly become much bigger.

Episode 9 continues the unraveling of power, relationships, and the personal cost of reinvention.

Do you believe people ever truly move on from the person they almost built a life with?

@johnwaynesiii and James Bolton finally have the conversation we’ve all been waiting for.

Power. Strategy. Control.
The kind of conversation that doesn’t happen twice.

But just when John thinks he understands the game…
he hears a voice.
“Hello, John Wayne.”
And everything shifts.

Who is @_chav0nne ?
And why does she feel more dangerous than the man who just asked for control?

Episode 8 of @thentherewasseries
Follow the story… because this is where it starts to unravel.
