The Identity Chapter Twenty-Seven
Bukky’s Pov Bukky stared at her computer screen, reading a threatening message that had appeared in her inbox. The message, written in stark capital letters, bore a chilling command: "STOP TALKING IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE." The sender's email address was listed as kiilla@gmail.com. Fear gripped her as she pondered why anyone would send her such a menacing message.Bukky had known that Ike was a dangerous man, but she hadn't realized the depths of his recklessness. He had already sent his henchmen after her for daring to speak out about the truth, and that, in her eyes, was a grave miscalculation on his part. She was resolute in her determination not to back down, no matter the risks.As she wrestled with the menacing message, her phone rang, startling her. An unknown number flashed on the screen, raising her suspicions. She hoped it wasn't the same person who had informed her about Ike's involvement in her husband's murder.Taking a deep breath, she answered the call. "Hello," sh

Ada’s POVAda could feel Ike's anger from where she was standing; his words rang in her ears as she tried her best not to snap at him. "I was not with any man," Ada said calmly. She was not looking for a fight."Then where have you been?" She heard Ike bark in anger."I will tell you if only you will stop shouting at me," Ada replied back, already getting angry from his suspicion."Well, I am listening," Ike said, folding his arms as he glared at her.Ada flashed back to her time at the SSS office. Linda had taken her to her office and instructed her not to leave. She watched as Linda took the phone she had given her earlier out of the room. She knew they were going to copy the video to their computers for their investigation.She remembered the last words Linda had said to her before she left for her house: "Don't let Ike or anyone else know about what happened today. Word might get out, and the people who killed her might come for you to silence you. Keep it quiet; my team al

Ike PovIke woke up that morning, very worried that Joy was still angry with him. He did not know why he let his jealousy get the best of him. He was scared that she had gone to see another man, but he knew he was wrong. She had been in the house without going anywhere; she deserved to go sightseeing if she wanted to, and he did not have to question her.He frowned as he got up from bed. He was going to make things right with her. Things were already getting better between them, and he did not want to spoil it. She had refused to have dinner the previous night because he had upset her, but today he was going to give her breakfast in bed. He had asked Mrs. Okonkwo to prepare breakfast and bring a tray of food to Joy's room. He went for his boxers and put them on, then threw on a blue polo shirt. He had decided that he wasn't going anywhere today, even though he had to sort out his suspension from parliament. Today, Joy was his priority.A soft knock on the door drew his attention.
The Identity Chapter Thirty-two
Ike's PovIke's mind was racing all over the place; he was shocked at what he saw on the news. One of the reporters at ABC reported it as an exclusive. The report said she was shot in the head by the assassin he sent, and he couldn't believe they were pinning everything on him. People were already believing this lie, and social media was going crazy. Many people were calling for his arrest, and others were planning to stage a protest at his house."This is madness; I didn't kill her," Ike said to Ade. Ade was the first person to call him about the news, and he had rushed to his side to comfort him."I know you didn't, but people believe you did because she accused you of killing her husband. Many think you did it to silence her," Ade replied."Why would I kill her, knowing people will point fingers at me? Can't people think, for God's sake?" Ike said in frustration."You didn't kill her; we are going to make people know that," Ada said."And how do you plan on doing that, Joy?" A
The Identity Chapter Thirty-three
Ada’s PovAda could hear the surprise in Ike’s voice. She wanted him to be at peace, knowing that he was going to come home soon. "What are you talking about, Joy? How did you get this woman’s number? How do you know her?" Ike asked her many questions at the same time. She knew he was confused after everything. She is just glad she asked for Linda’s number before she left the SSS office yesterday. “Don’t worry, I will explain everything to you when you get home. But for now, you need to know that there is a video that will clear your name.” She heard silence before Linda’s voice came on the other end of the phone. “Don’t worry, he will be fine,” Linda said to her. Ada quickly called Linda after Ike was arrested. They both knew that Ike was innocent and understood that the killer or the people who sent him were the ones who leaked the real events surrounding the death of Bukky. Ada was thankful that they had video evidence which proved that Ike was innocent. “I know he will be fine
The Identity Chapter Thirty – four
Ada’s PovAda stood outside the front door, waiting for Ike to come home. Linda had called her about an hour ago that Ike was getting released from their custody. She had ordered Mrs. Okonkwo to make Ike’s favorite food for him. She couldn't wait to see him again and was very happy about his release. She heard a car drive into the compound; she knew it was Ike and Ade. Ade had volunteered to go and pick Ike up from the SSS office, and she was grateful to him for that. It was better that he saw the face of his best friend when leaving the SSS office than that of a driver.As soon as the two men got to the front door, Ada pulled Ike in for an embrace. She held him tight and did not want to let go. “Thank God you are okay,” she whispered to him. “Are you okay? Hope you were not hurt anywhere?” she asked, finally letting go of him and inspecting his body.“I am perfectly fine, don’t worry,” Ike said. “He is okay, Joy,” Ade confirmed in a very tender voice. “Okay, I believe you guys.
