THE COVERT IDENTITY Chapter thirty-six
She believed that her gorgeous looks and Jenkins’s love for her would do the trick. She shouldn’t have to do anything at all. She considered herself not like the other women who fight for their love by becoming mischievous. She was observing Chief Coker and Nma discussing some tables away and she could see his gaze at her every couple of minutes and some smile escaping from the corner of his mouth spontaneously. She felt so stupid for even asking Nma to enquire from her husband. What the heck, the deed had been done, she only had to wait for her feedback. While she waited, she remembered that she had left her precious gifts with their father, so she went to join them. Her mind’s eye could not help but take her down memory lane. It was mid-September, the rains were beginning to fall with great intensity, she felt so cold in that weather. She hadn’t enough clothes on her, she had exhausted all that she had. She needed a number of heavy clothing to ward away cold because her pregnancy h

What was she actually going to do with him now that he had suggested that they would be going to meet his parents? Was she really ready for a relationship with him, no matter the nature be it marriage or casual relationship? From the look of things, he really wanted more from her. She could guess that he wanted a lasting relationship. What her children thought of the whole thing really mattered to her. She felt that she would go with whatever decision they had to take. She started hearing footsteps approaching her and she felt it could be her daughters that were coming to her. She turned around and saw them. She couldn’t believe her eyes. If she hadn’t left the house together with Sophia and having known the clothing she wore before, she wouldn’t have been able to differentiate between the two of them. They were incredibly unidentifiable. He took the pleasure of walking behind them. Mirabel was the first to speak. ‘Mum, here we are.’ She said gesticulating with her hands wide open.

She had longed for him all these years, hoping that he would return to her, that he would tell her how much he actually loved her. She was beginning to love him, but suddenly, he vanished into thin air. What is love as he claimed if you can’t stand up to what you love? If you cannot love unconditionally? She was still lost in the climax of her ocean of thoughts when he walked in unannounced admiring her. Immediately, she felt his presence and she started. ‘My love, how are you fairing? Do you know that am so elated seeing you? I mean, am over the moon.’ He said smiling and embracing her. ‘Please, don’t touch me.’ She said glaring at him. ‘Why? You are still the same old you dear. How can I make you understand? It’s really not what you are thinking. I still do love you. A moment did not pass by without me thinking of you. I actually did come to see you but I found out that the police were after me. I lay low for some months in another state handling some of my father’s businesses.

They said their prayers, did a lot of cleaning up because the day was on a Saturday. They worked round the clock tirelessly, it was around 1 o’clock that they had finished, very exhausted. They quickly refreshed again and got ready for the late afternoon event. Driving through the streets of Lagos was fun to justice once more; sitting beside him was the love of his life, Sharon. The rest of the family members were seated at the back of the car. Chief James Coker, his wife, Nma and Mirabel had taken Justice and Sharon out in order to conceal the fact that they were planning a surprise party for them. They went to the malls to pick one or two things. However, they had a stop at their local parish where they met with the parish priest who gave them his own blessings once more after their marriage. It was already 3pm by the time they were through with the outing. Chief had to suggest that they should start going home knowing that everything must have been set by then. Meanwhile, as the

A nation without the majority of the youth is already dead, literally. The second sound of the cock crowing brought her back to reality and she switched on the side-lamp and took a look at the wall-clock, it was already few minutes past six. She got out of bed and wore her slip-on. She opened her door and tapped on the door leading to Sophia’s room. There was no response, she knocked persistently, yet no response. She quietly pushed open the door, turning the door knob to let herself in. The white bedspread lay all around the bed in a careless manner. The edge of the bedspread was beginning to touch the floor. Sophia lay in bed unaware that her mother was right there with her. She stooped to pick the edge of the bedspread and tried arranging it on the bed a little. She shook her head on how careless her daughter could sleep. This was one of the reasons she had forbidden her from staying on campus but she objected to it, insisting that it would help her to focus on her studies when

Love is considered to be both positive and negative, with its virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, as “the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. It also has its vice representing human moral flaw, akin to vanity, selfishness, and egotism, as potentially leading people into a type of mania or obsessiveness. This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states. The night was exceptionally cold, bringing back memories to Sophia of their trial days. She had really known how it was to be lonely. The world is a cruel place and she still didn’t know if it would get better. Her mum had seen it all in life and she had tasted both the bitter and sweet side of life. The sweet side she knew did not outweigh the bitter side. All through her life, she had come to grow to be resilient when it relates to pain, the pain she

‘Business, you said?’ Chief asked not understanding what he meant. ‘Yes sir, some other type of business, kind of personal sir.’ He said, wishing that the discussion didn’t have to extend on his personal matter. ‘I was meant to understand by your father, my senior colleague that you were coming home to take over his business.’ Chief James said unassumingly in a business manner. ‘Yes, that I would do, but right now there is only one thing on my mind of which I will let the cat out of the bag when the time is right.’ Jenkins concluded. ‘Dear, meet my wife and daughter.’ He said beckoning on mother and daughter to get closer. ‘Good evening ma’am.’ He greeted Nma with a kiss on her right hand. ‘She is really a beauty sir.’ He affirmed. ‘Of course, dear, there is no disputing the fact and I wouldn’t have loved her less.’ ‘Hello dear. What’s your name?’ He asked Mirabel, with a strange feeling of a strong connection. He felt there was something about this girl he needed to

After few minutes, she felt the urge to poop again. She gave one sharp push, and there she was, another cute angel. Just then, the midwife cut the placenta and cleaned her up. She always wondered if she could see her other daughter ever again, not that she wanted to take her, but it would be ideal if she could know her mother. The conversation between the two sisters had taken a great deal of their time that they hadn’t realized how the time flew. They both looked at their watches at the same time. ‘Wow! I have to get going. My older brother and the wife are expected home today from their honeymoon.’ Mirabel exclaimed. ‘Really? You don’t say. You have an older brother? There’s a lot I have to know about you and your family.’ Sophia gushed. ‘Yes, sis, I do. Mum will be waiting for me to return home by now. We have planned a surprise welcome home party for them the next day. Perhaps I shall invite you over.’ ‘That will be lovely.’ Sophia grinned. ‘Alright, may I have your ph

The madam showed her displeasure that she couldn’t pick a child she wanted to adopt from the children there. She thought she would choose one so that they could begin the legal preparations for adoption. However, she met the opposite reaction. ‘Ma’am, please may I know why you couldn’t choose any child from our home? Could it be that you don’t like our system of operation here? Madam Faith asked Nma. ‘No, no, please don’t get me wrong. I love everything about this home, but my attention is being drifted to another place. ‘And where could this be? She asked again. ‘I would like to know one thing, could you tell me who that girl that welcomed me is? She asked expectantly. ‘Oh! You mean Nkem? Madam Faith asked heaving a sigh of relief, at least she is still within the context of her environment, her own space. ‘Yes, if that’s her name.’ By now they were back to the common room and she asked Nma to sit down while she tells her all about Nkem, at least, the one that she hersel

Chapter one
The bus drove down the streets of Aguda in full speed. The shouts of the commuters brought back his senses. He sighed derogatorily because his thoughts were being disturbed. ‘Driver, why are you in so much a hurry?’ One of the commuters asked, tapping the driver at the shoulder as he was sitting directly behind the driver. ‘Haven’t you come across the slogan that says; there is no hurry in life? I beg you in the name of God; I’m not ready to die yet!’ The driver remained adamant and continued his driving. In a bid to remove his attention from the waggling commuters, he pushed his face out from his side of the window and blotted with his fingers on his nose as support. ‘This driver is everything but civilized. See the way he is even behaving rudely as if he is only carrying animals here instead of human beings,’ another commuter retorted. Instantly, there was uproar from the rest of the commuters as each was trying his or her best to be heard simultaneously. Justice, on the...
