She was not looking for a fight."Then where have you been?"

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.

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

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.
The Identity Chapter Thirty-Five
Benito’s POVBenito was restless, pacing around his new apartment. He had just finished watching the "Crime & Justice" show, knowing his boss would be furious with him. He was still confused about how he got recorded in Bukky’s house; he was sure no-one was around while he was carrying out his mission. How on earth did that journalist get that video? Who in the world had recorded it, and why did the person do it?He continued pacing around his room and kicked a plastic chair in front of him out of frustration. He was so angry about what had happened and wanted badly to beat someone up.“That darn journalist!” Benito shouted. His hatred for Linda Femi was deepening every day; she was causing so much trouble for him. He wanted to get her, but he knew he would have to wait for his boss to give him orders concerning her or at least approve the idea of him going after her. He knew if he got her and pressured her into telling who had sent her the video, she would crack and spill the truth
The Identity Chapter Thirty-Six
Ada’s POV Ada was moved to tears seeing Ike tear up in front of his parents. She could not have imagined how hard it must have been for him, even though she was living with the man. She knew he had a hard time but was masking his pain from her. She wondered if he did that because she would think he was a weak man; if only he knew she wanted to share in his pain and troubles. It was very obvious to her that she had fallen in love with this man. The thought of that made her heart skip a beat. She really had no business being in love with another woman’s husband. She knew deep down that Joy was going to return one day, and she needed to leave this house.She shook the idea off as she stared at Ike. She was going to leave, but before that, she would confess who she really was to Ike. That was at least the right thing to do, but for now, he needed her, and she planned on being that support he needs.“See him, Mummy’s boy,” Ada teased.“Well, you are not wrong,” Ike laughed, wiping his
