The Identity Chapter Thirteen
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
The Identity Chapter Fourteen
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
The Identity Chapter Sixteen
Ike's povStanding in front of his flatscreen TV, Ike watched in shock as a figure on the screen spoke. He wondered where the insane theory was coming from.The figure on TV was a short man with a rounded and dotted nose. The man was granted an interview with the news station to slander his name. 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

Ike's povThe Saturday was very sunny and the temperature was very hot, but Ike still wanted to relax and unwind the week. He was sitting on his favourite chair in the parlour and just when he was about to close his eyes he heard a voice calling his namekm, knowing exactly who was calling him he said “What is it moma?” He normally calls the cook moma, especially when he does not want to call her by her name.“It's your wife,” Mrs Okonkwo said, “She is in my kitchen cooking”“It is also her kitchen,” Ike said, he knew how much his cook hates anyone doing the cooking but her. “She is the madam of this house,'' Ike added.“Well, I am the madam of the kitchen. She never liked cooking before What changed?” Mrs Okonkwo said confused, “get her out of my kitchen”She was right, his wife hated the kitchen, but ever since the plane incident, Joy has been to the kitchen more than once.“Okay alright, let me go and talk to her” Ike said as he walked to the kitchen. He wondered why she was in the
The Identity Chapter Eighteen
Ike's povIke drove into his house around 11:30 pm. He went out to clear his head and keep his distance from Joy. He could not believe that she had refused to come back to their room. 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
The Identity Chapter Nineteen
Benito's povBenito left Eagle Square feeling very much accomplished, he had completed his job and was sure his master was going to be pleased as well. He entered a restaurant close to the square and went straight to their restroom where he hid his gun on the ceiling. He knew that the security agents were going to search everyone within close range of that vicinity, so he decided to dump the gun there. No one would think of searching for a gun at the restaurant and even if they do, he would be long gone when they eventually find the gun.He left the restaurant and went back to their secret base, where he waited for news about the killing of Joy. At least he was able to do a good job today. Ike’s povIke looked at his friend Ade and wondered why he looked uncomfortable. He knew he was probably upset about being attacked by Senator Paul earlier in the day, but he looked way more stressed for that to be the issue.“What is the matter?” Ike finally asked“Matter?” Ade replied startled “w
The Identity Chapter Twenty
Ike's pov“What?” Ike screamed into the phone “What happened? He can’t be dead, how could you have let that happen?”“We found him dead when his cell officer went to check up on him”“Were you able to find out who sent him? Did he confess?'' Ike asked, hoping to hear a positive answer, pacing around the sitting room“I am sorry but we were not able to do that. We are investigating the matter and I assure you that we will get to the bottom of this” “You better do, my wife’s life is on the line here,” Ike said as he hung up the phone. He stood still for a while and stared into space. He was afraid that the person behind these attacks was a much more powerful person. How did the suspect get killed in the police cell? How did the killer get by the police? He definitely needs to get to the bottom of this.“Are you okay?” He heard Ada ask, she came closer and hugged him tightly “I am scared,” She saidHe hugged her back and was shaking in anger. He wished he could catch the bastard who was
