THE COVERT IDENTITY Chapter eight
‘Kleptomania is a mental condition, a disease that causes a strong desire to steal things, often with no wish or intention to possess the things stolen.’ ‘This is serious,’ exclaimed JT. ‘How is the father of this girl protecting her?’ ‘In the light of the law, she’s been protected since her father is a justice. He makes sure that she is never prosecuted.’ ‘Why then doesn’t he, kind of restrict her movement?’ He asked. ‘He wants her to live a normal life hoping that one day nature would reverse what it had done on her.’ ‘Well, I hope so too.’ ‘Now to your second question…I happen to be a lawyer by profession and I work as a team with two or three other lawyers for the company. Secondly, I watched you enter the mall in a confused state and that was how I figured out your problem. And to your third question, let’s just say that I decided to put my emotions under control.’ ‘You mentioned a company. Which company are you talking about?’ ‘I’m talking about the same company for whi

‘I just finished speaking with you now; there must be some mistake somewhere.’ ‘Are you sure you’re okay?’ he touched her fore-head to dictate any hotness on her head. ‘Stop it.’ She shouted and subsequently removed his hand. ‘If you weren’t the person I’ve been talking with then who could that be?’ He yelled. ‘Well, my dear JT it may surprise you to know that Ku Klux Klan dwells in the world of illusions.’ She said puckering her face. ‘What in God’s name are you saying?’ He asked in bewilderment. ‘Cornerstone constructions are actually the cornerstone of this cult known as Ku Klux Klan. Heard about it before?’ she asked. ‘Yes I’ve come across it in a book. Does it exist?’ ‘You can ask that again.’ She said. ‘What just happened to you is one of their tricks. They want to trick you into giving away your presentation by using me. You’ve got to thank God that I was here in time to save your butts otherwise you would have been in for it.’ ‘I’m speechless. A lot is actually happe

‘You’re welcome,’ she said. She reversed her car and viewed the happy moments of loved ones and also shared in their happiness. When it was evident that she h’d had enough, she drove off. ‘My son, welcome back,’ his mother uttered. She hugged him for a very long time like a lost child. ‘Tessy, you are going to suffocate the boy,’ his father said. ‘Yes, let me suffocate him I’ve missed my boy so much.’ She said amidst tears and sobs. He wound his hands around her and took her in. His father only followed them and shook his head as he joined them. ‘Women, when will they ever change and understand the life we are living?’ He chuckled. ‘Justice you are indeed a great person. Who knows? You must have come from a lineage of great people.’ The M.D said. ‘Well sir, I think the credit goes to God almighty for bestowing me with such wisdom.’ ‘You have made my day my boy and this call for celebration.’ He came close to JT and placed his hands on his shoulder and led him to the recepti

‘Hello, JT where are you? Where have you been? Do you know how your mum is at the moment? She is worried a whole lot about you. He twittered. ‘Calm down Prince. I too didn’t know where I was until a moment ago.’ ‘You mean you were kidnapped?’ ‘No, no, no, it’s not what I mean.’ ‘Then what do you mean? I was with you at the party and suddenly I decided to ease myself and when I returned I didn’t see you. I anticipated you had gone home but was surprised this morning when your mum called me requesting to know where you were. I couldn’t tell her I didn’t know where you were because the poor woman would’ve fainted if she h’d known the truth.’ ‘Well, I’m in Sharon’s house. Hope to return home soonest.’ ‘What the hell happened?’ He twittered more. ‘It’s nothing you should worry about. We shall talk more when I return.’ ‘Alright, see you then but make it snappy because I wouldn’t know what to tell your old woman again when she calls.’ ‘I will. Bye.’ ‘Bye.’ Prince responded. He wa

His colleagues could not understand this sudden affection their boss had developed for JT. They were of course not jealous of him but they felt there are more to what the eyes could see. They felt this affection had grown beyond the fact that JT won the contract for their company but that something else was fishing. All eyes were on the white jeep standing outside in front of the building. The M.D and Justice sat behind while Sharon sat in front with the driver. She decided to leave her car behind, she wanted to feel and be a part of this moment. As they approached his house, Justice’s heart was beating faster. Could it be true? This question had been going on in his mind for half an hour now. Finally they were there; he had rented a new apartment for his parents. He would have appreciated it if his new father had seen the former life he was living, a life of penury. He pressed the bell button and someone peeped from the hole on the door. He stepped back in surprise and allowed

‘I’m Nma Uchendu and I’m in level 3 in Accountancy Department.’ ‘And you were able to solve this?’ He asked. ‘It’s a piece of cake for me, as a matter of fact, I like solving problems and I’m quite happy to have helped someone in distress.’ ‘You can say that again.’ He chuckled. ‘Well, if we are done here, can I just resume my studies?’ she asked. ‘Sure you can but you’ll do one thing.’ ‘Which is?’ She asked. ‘You’ll have to go out for dinner with me.’ ‘No, no, I didn’t do this for a dinner.’ She said. ‘You can call it my appreciation to you. I owe you, in fact you’ve saved my butts. I would have been in for it in the test. How can one write what one does not fathom?’ he asked. ‘Alright, if you insist I’ll have dinner with you.’ That night the two of them had dinner in one of the best eateries on campus. They kept running into each other on campus and before you know it, James lost himself totally to her. He fell incredibly in love with her and swore to himself he was g

‘You have seen us, now tell us why you are here.’ The man said out of impatience.‘Well sir, I happened to be James’ friend. And, recently I’ve not been well and I don’t have anybody that can help me so I felt it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I come to seek for help. I need to go to the hospital, sir.’ She said as she lifted her eyes that she inadvertently kept down while she was talking.‘Look at it, darling. A girl comes from nowhere and demands for money. How do we know you are not lying?’ Mrs. Coker retorted.‘No ma’am, I’m not lying; I believe I’m decent enough to be doing such a thing.’‘And that’s why I’m saying that a young girl with your looks shouldn’t be doing such a cheap thing,’ she snarled.‘Your types come and blackmails one and would want to be given some money.My lord, just look at her,’ gesticulating towards Nma with her hands.‘Look at her, don’t be surprised she may be telling us now in the next few minutes that she is pregnant for James, gold-digger.’Nma started sob
THE COVERT IDENTITY Chapter fifteen
How did his dad ever come in contact with such a personality? He bet she must have pushed herself on him. The survey he he’d carried out on her showed that she came from a middle class family. She was not poor in the real sense of it. He couldn’t decipher why she was so eager to marry his dad. He was actually trying to find a way to locate his mother and reconcile his dad and mum. Now this intruder is going to hinder his progress. ‘What is he thinking about, didn’t you by any chance notice me?’ she asked tactfully. She went round his table and then came to the front, sat down and took his cup of coffee he kept on the table. She sipped it and kept the cup and cunningly used her nail to touch his chest. ‘You and I can work things out, you know?’ She asked with a smile in the corner of her mouth and her eyes contracting to the effect of the smile. ‘Get out of here!’ he snarled as he gesticulates with his fingers pointing towards the door. ‘You better get used to having me around b
