The Identity Chapter Forty-Two
Ada PovFor the past two weeks, Ada has been very happy with how things were with Ike. Things were good, in fact, too good. She had been thinking hard lately about telling Ike the truth—about her not being the real Joy. She was scared about what would happen after, as she was not yet ready to leave Ike or the life she had built here. A life she had built with him. But she knew she had to tell the truth; she couldn't keep living a lie.She was home alone; Ike had gone out and promised to be back home early. Linda was busy with her Secret Agent job. Ada was bored and wanted to have some fun for distraction, but she didn't know anybody else but Ike and Linda.While she was still figuring out what to do with herself, she received a message on her phone from an unknown number. She opened the message and saw a video attached to it, which she clicked. She was shocked to watch a clip of Ike and Mary walking into what seemed like a hotel room. Why was this sent to her? Who sent it? Ada could
The Identity Chapter Forty-Three
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

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." Mary felt satisfied when she saw the look on his face; he was shocked. She did not care about what he had to say; she did not regret what she did. 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
The Identity Chapter Forty-Five
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

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
The Identity Chapter Forty-seven
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. "I am not Joy. My name is Ada Okoli. I sneaked onto
The Identity Chapter Forty-eight
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. After explaining everything to Linda over a call, Linda comforted her and gave her the address to her apartment, which she had just bought and never stayed in, but was willing to let Ada stay there. Ada was happy to still have a friend in Linda. She took a deep breath and walked into the shop.Benito's PovBenito saw his opportunit
