Chapter Ten
Ike’s pov
It’s been more than five minutes since Joy went to the bathroom and still, there was no sign of her. Ike was becoming worried and wondered what was happening. Could she have been kidnapped? "Nah," he said to himself, he had security men positioned all over the mall, they wouldn’t let get her kidnapped and would have surely alerted him if that was the case. But why is she not here? He stood up and went outside the viewing room. The security men were still standing in their position.“Have you seen Joy”? Ike asked one of the security men“She went to get popcorn” The security replied“Popcorn? I thought she wanted to have a pee,'' Ike said, panicking already.“She told us that”Ike bolted past them, running downstairs towards where popcorn was being sold with the security men running behind him. Oh God, he hoped she was fine. With everything happening right now, he won’t forgive himself if anything happens to her. He stopped at the popcorn placeRelated chapters

Ada's povAda felt the weight of the man on her body. She was panicking and struggling to get him off her body. She kept screaming for help but no one would come.“Stop wasting your time,” The man said “No one will come, just hold still let me kiss you”He tried to force a kiss on her, but she was struggling to get him off her. He was racked with alcohol and was very drunk. Who was he? Ada wondered how he got the keys to her room. She thought a big hotel like this would at least be secured. She managed to get away from him and quickly switched on the room light. She ran towards her bag and grabbed the paper spray she had inside, without thinking twice, she sprayed it on him. He let out a painful scream, struggling to see clearly.“Who are you and what do you want?” Ada asked, shaking “You witch, do you want to get me blind?” The man shouted angrily.Ada stood there thinking about how crazy the man sounded, how could he still be so arrogant after he tried for

Ike’s povIke could hear faith arguing with Olu about not letting her enter the house. He gave instructions saying he did not want to be disturbed, but somehow he can’t seem to get away from her. I sighed, got up and went towards the noise. Faith was a little light in his dark world. She was his side piece and somehow he was very fond of her. She was the one who would satisfy his sexual pleasures whenever his wife refused him, which was all their marriage time, although he made sure he paid her back by taking care of her bills and flying her to different countries for vacation. The luxurious lifestyle she was living was funded by him. He wondered why she came running this late at night. She usually comes when he asks her to come, which is when his wife is not at home or he sees her outside of his house.The argument stopped. He got to the sitting room. Ike’s eyes looked lustfully at Faith, God!! He needs it now badly, especially since joy had refused him earlier in the day. His eyes re

Ada's povAda was not sure if she was just tired or really disappointed in how the room looked. She was not expecting much but what she was standing inside of was not a place any human could stay. The room was full of dust, the curtains looked so dirty like they had not been washed for days, the bed was not laid, the air conditioner seemed to be malfunctioning and to top it off, the television in the room was not working. Ada tried her best to not cry. Maybe it was a mistake to have left Ike. She has tasted the good life and now she can’t seem to adjust back to the kind of life she lived all her life. The truth was, this room was better than the house which she grew up in and shared with her other siblings, father and stepmother, but why does she suddenly feel irritated about being in a place like this? She never wanted to feel like she was better or better than what she actually was, but she would not help but feel sorry for herself. She opened the door and went back to the reception

Ike’s povIke and his security men got to the guest inn by 7 pm. He was disgusted by how poorly the guest inn looked from the outside. He wondered how it would look on the inside.“This place looks a mess,” Ike said, “What in the world is she doing here?”“probably has to do with the money, I bet it’s very cheap”.Ike could not understand why his wife would prefer to stay in a place like this and not in their mansion. He was standing in front of a shabby looking building. It was already dark but he could see the building clearly due to the security lights that were on for obvious reasons. He gestured for the other two security men to stand outside and wait for him to return as he and Alex walked into the guest inn. To Ike's surprise, there was no one at the reception desk “Where is everybody? Should there not be someone at this desk?” Ike asked, confused “There should be, I wonder where they are?’ Alex replied.Just the two of them were trying to figure out what was going on, the e

Ada's povAda could not believe what was happening to her. The young man was on her, grabbing her breast and trying to force a kiss on her. She could not help but scream. She kept screaming as his hands moved recklessly on her body.“keep quiet, stop screaming” he scolded “Let me go, are you trying to rape me?'' Ada said furiously. She wished she could hit him with something. He was sexually assaulting her and nobody was close enough to save her.“Somebody help” she screamed That came with a slap across her face. The pain on her face felt worse than her fear. It was like someone had hit her with an iron hand across her face.“If you don’t shut up, I will hit you again and this time very hard”“Please let me go, please I don't have any money,” Ada said sobbing. She was tired of the constant trouble that had been following her for the past few days. Was this a punishment from God for lying and being with someone who was not her husband? God was definitely punishing her for her sins.Sh

Ike could not believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. He went on live TV accuses him of being a ritualist, stating that he wanted to use his wife as a human sacrifice to gain more money and power. The man alleged that Ike had planned to crash the plane his wife was on and also the car bomb blast which all failed. Ike watched in total disbelief as the man said“I think it is time for us to let honest people be in the position of the Senate President of the house of assembly and Paul Okoko has promised to eliminate such people like Ike and put in the right people in such position. They do not need an occult member in such a place”.Ike was furious at the audacity of Paul to make

Ade had advised him earlier on to file for a divorce, but he was way too in love with her to divorce. He couldn't, he couldn’t, he shouldn’t. He wanted to make his marriage work no matter the cost. He was going to make sure he won her heart.The last thing he expected to see as he entered his house was his wife sleeping on the sitting room chair. He wondered how long she had been sleeping there. It was very oblivious, she slept off waiting for him. She must have been very worried. He looked towards her and tapped her to wake up.“How long have you been waiting for me?” he asked“Since you left,” Ada said while still sleepy“Since then?” Ike asked, shocked, his wife had never cared about his late-night episodes before. Most times, when he got home, she was already asleep in her room and did not care to as
