2021-12-11 13:42:23Ike's POV
"What?" Ike exclaimed. The Senate President of the Senate House in Nigeria was furious."Why was there a forced landing? What happened?" Ike argued with the man on the other end of the phone. "I want my wife found alive and well," he declared before hanging up the phone.Unable to control his tears, Ike let them flow down his cheeks. "Oh, my wife," he thought to himself. She did not deserve this. He knew she was not a perfect wife, but he loved her, even though she never reciprocated it. She had married him for his money, but still, she did not deserve to die. At least he did not want her to die—not yet, maybe after spending a lifetime together. Ike, who was still in his late 30s, was the first young Snate President of the Senate House and the first one to have gotten the position unchallenged. He was dark in complexion, tall, and a politician who derived joy from bodybuilding, with his six-packs a testament to that. He looked like someone drawn out of a comic book. "Oh lord, please keep her safe," he murmured. There was every possibility that she was alive, but he couldn't help but get worried about her. He stood up from the chair he was sitting on, went towards the parlor bar, poured himself a drink, and with a heavy sigh, he sipped from it. He didn't care how bad his wife had been to him. All he wanted was his wife, his lovely wife whom he had cherished and loved for the past two years of their marriage. He loved her; he did not care what anyone thinks.Ada's POVAda could not hear anything but a beep sound in her ears. She looked around the very scattered inside of a plane that was supposed to land in Dubai. Everyone was out of their seats, and belongings were scattered everywhere. She managed to stand up after falling out of her chair due to the forced landing by the pilot. Still confused about what was going on, even though everyone in the plane had calmed down, she was still panicking. Just some minutes ago, people were screaming, while others became prayer warriors, speaking in tongues."Sarah," she whispered, using her eyes to search for her friend who had helped sneak her into the plane. Sarah was her best friend and a flight attendant. She decided to help her into the plane after witnessing her stepmother’s cruelty to her to escape."Sarah!" she shouted."What?" Sarah screamed back. She was just behind Ada."Why are you shouting?""Thank God," Ada said, hugging Sarah. "Are you okay?""I'm fine," Sarah said. "Are you okay?""Yes, I am.""Don't worry; we will be fine.""What happened?" Ada asked."The pilot had to make a forced landing; he discovered that the fuel pump was cut off.""What? Who could have done such a thing?""I don’t know, but someone wanted everyone dead." Just as they were talking, they heard the pilot’s voice through the speakers, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are sorry to have stopped your trip to Dubai due to a malfunction. Please make your way outside of the plane; the doors are now open.""Do you know where we are?" Ada asked Sarah."No, I don’t, but we are about to find out."

Ada's POV:Lost in an unfamiliar desert, Ada tried to remain composed, holding Sarah's hand tightly amidst the passengers who formed a small circle around the pilot. "I know we are all panicking," the pilot said. "But we all need to calm down and think of a way out.""Do you know where we are?" someone asked."Before landing, I was able to get the location of this place. We are in the Borno state desert, very close to the Chad borders.""How do we leave here? This is a very far distance from Abuja," another person inquired."I already made a distress call; we just have to wait," the pilot replied."I hope they will come for us," Ada whispered to Sarah."They will," Sarah reassured her.Four hours later, they heard a sound in the air and rushed out to see a black helicopter landing in the desert. A man in his late 30s emerged. "Listen," the man named Bola said. "My name is Bola, I am the head of the information division of the DSS. Help is on the way, but I am here to pick up Mrs. Joy N

It was Ike carrying a cup of tea towards her.“You have woken up” he said, “Are you feeling better?”“What happened?” Ada asked, but since he did not respond, she decided that she must have just thought about the question.

Some of the bodyguards took the helicopter that brought you home,'' Ike replied.Oh yes, she remembers, she remembers clearly how the security men forced men to force her into the helicopter, how the car she was in went up in flames and how and how scared she was.

Thank God for saving you. I mean, not many people get to escape death two times in a roll,'' Mma added.“Honestly Mummy, I don’t know, everything is happening so fast, I don’t know what to think anymore”“I know what you are thinking, my child.

He was still pissed at her for what had happened in her room earlier, but he could not stop thinking about how it felt to kiss her. He could not stop thinking about the pleasure of having her lips on his own. He loved how hard her nipples were for him and loved the way she kissed him back.He glanced at his wife. She was wearing a long red grown that had a high clit up on her lap. She matched it up with a sliver 6 inches heels and a golden necklace. She packed her hair to the back and had no earrings on.“Did you forget to put on earrings?” He found himself asking “No” she replied as she let out a laugh, “I just thought I would look better without wearing any earrings”.“You do look beautiful” “Thank you” Ada said with a smile There was salience again“I am sorry about what happened

Would you?”Ade did not answer; he only stared at Ike with intense hatred before being taken away. Ike remained in shock, grappling with the betrayal of his best friend. Hurt and on the verge of tears, he held himself together. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Ada walking up to him.

While dressing up, he felt like he needed to talk to Joy and lay down some rules for her; she can’t go about talking to people in his house that way. She was very rude to his parents last night, which made him very upset. He needed to talk to her about that too; she needs to show his parents some respect.

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

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

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." 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

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
