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

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.

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

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.

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

Ada's PovAda sat at the back of the car, unable to stop herself from crying, thinking of the look in Ike’s eyes when she told him who she really was. She wished she could turn back time and do things differently. Seeing a sample blouse in a shop, she wanted to cheer up. She stopped the driver and went into the shop. She left the house without any clothes or shoes, only the purse Ike had once bought her, which had the bank ATM card tied to the account he opened for her after the plane incident. She lied to him, claiming she couldn't remember her password, and, not wanting to go to the bank, he opened another account for her. Her phone was also in the purse.

Ike’s POVIke found himself in a bewildering situation, staring at two women claiming to be his wife. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion, unsure if he was experiencing some surreal illusion or if reality was playing a cruel game on him."Who are you?" he managed to utter, directing his question to the lady standing at the door."What?" Joy snapped angrily. "You don't know me again? And who the hell are you?" Joy glared at Ada, demanding an explanation.Ike turned to Ada, desperation in his eyes. "Explain this," he implored, his thoughts scrambled and emotions in turmoil."Who is that?" Joy demanded, seeking clarity."What is happening here?" Mma voiced her confusion."You really are dull," Joy scoffed at Ike's mother. "This girl," she pointed at Ada, "is impersonating me."Ike, still grappling with the surreal scene, looked at Ada, anticipating an explanation for this bizarre situation."I am sorry," Ada uttered tearfully.

Linda's PovLinda returned to the office after spending some time with Ada. It was still weird to know Joy as Ada, but she really did not care who Ada was; that’s her friend, and she was going to stick with her either way. She only hopes that Ada does the right thing by telling Ike.“Ma, we found something,” Musa's voice rang inside her brain.“What? How?” she asked.“We got the numbers of people from their registration book that bought that kind of gun from the last gun shop we went to, just like we did for the rest. One of the men said he sold it to someone else, but the registration on the gun still has his name. We asked for the number of the person he sold it to, and luckily he had it. We traced the number, and it was registered under one Benito Dam. He is an ex-convict, and nobody seems to know where he lives. It looks like he has software blocking where his location is, but we managed to trace it. I think this is the guy we have been looking for.”“Put someone on him now. I

Ada’s PovAda has been at Ike's parents' house for over two hours. It was past three in the afternoon, and she had been chatting with them since she entered the house. She couldn't wait to go home, not because she wasn't enjoying his parents' company but because she missed Ike."Maybe you should sleep here today," Mma Nnenna said."I would love to, but I have to go back home to Ike; he needs me. The people on the internet are tearing him apart," Ada replied. "Plus, I don't have any excuse to give Ike for not coming back home tonight.""You don't need an excuse; you are my daughter-in-law.""I know, Mum, but I want to be with Ike," Ada said. She really did not want to leave Ike on his own; he had a lot of hate comments on the internet, and she wanted to make sure he was okay."How do you feel about this whole Mary video?" Mma asked."I don't know; she did that for whatever reason. I am not bothered by it. Ike said she helped him get a room at the hotel because he was very drunk a

Mary's POV"So you admit to sexually harassing me?" Mary heard Ike ask. The tone of his voice put her off; he sounded like he was happy she said that, but she was not going to lose in this conversation."Yes, I do. I admit it. That was my chance to get you, and I used it," Mary remembered that night clearly. She was already making out with him in the taxi car on their way to the hotel before anything else. It was clear that Ike did not remember that part, and she wanted to taunt him further."In fact, I was already making out with you in the taxi; you seemed to have enjoyed it."

She currently has the advantage and will not give up on the love of her life."What? You did what?" Ike asked in panic."You heard me right; there is no way anyone will believe I did that to you. Just divorce your wife and come to me." Mary did not care if he ha

Linda’s POVLinda was shocked to hear what Joy had said. Is she not Joy? Then who the hell is she? Has everything after their friendship been a lie? She tried to compose herself.“What do you mean by that?” Linda asked, still shocked.“I mean that I am not Joy Nnenna; my name is Ada Okoli.”Linda was very confused; she could not believe what she was hearing.“Why did you lie that you were Joy, then?”“I didn’t lie. Joy was in the same plane as me before the plane had an issue and the pilot did a forced landing. The people who came looking for Joy thought I was the one because we looked alike. My friend who I was on the plane with convinced me to agree and say I was she. The rest is what you see happening.”“You know you can go to jail for this, right?”Ada said nothing; she just nodded her head in agreement. Linda felt bad for her friend, although she did not understand why she was being told this secret.“Why are you telling me this?”“Because you are my friend, and I am tir
