🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:
“I have a job for you. I want to see you as soon as possible. There is something urgent I want you to handle.” Princess was on the phone with Eleks, a private investigator who was recommended to her by a friend. The friend had promised her that Eleks could help unravel the real identity of Amaka. She became very worried after discovering that her husband spent the night with Amaka at the hospital. She decided to handle the situation her own way since Chief Egbe had refused to chase Amaka away from the house. She knew that she would soon loose her position in the house if she continues to keep calm.
“I’m on my way. Your friend gave me your address already and I will be there in a few minutes.” Eleks responded to Princess. He was driving on top speed, but he matched the breaks when Princess told him that she did not want him to come the house because his presence could create suspecion.
“Let us meet at Sheri Hotels. I’m already here waiting for you. We can’t talk at home because the people I want you to investigate are at my house. Having you at my house will give away the entire secret. Meet me at the hotel please.” Princess tells Eleks. Eleks turned his car and started driving to Sheri Hotels.
Princess drove herself to the hotel, so she was alone. She had told her driver that she was going to make her hair and so there was no need for anyone to be with her. She wants everything discretely done. While waiting for Eleks, Princess ordered a cup of Chapman for herself. She was sipping the drink and deeply thinking of where Amaka could have come from and why she is bent on destroying her home.
“I’m going to find out every shred of information about this impostor who is bent on giving me hypertension. I will dig into her past and discover who she is before I will personally strangle her to death if I find out that she is truly pregnant for my husband. She cannot just appear from nowhere and take over my home. I will fight this battle and win.” Princess said to herself. She was trying hard not to betray her emotions as some people at the hotel cast suspicious glances at her. Soon. Eleks arrived.
“My name is Eleks and I’m at your service. Whatever information you want to find out about anyone, I will give it to you at the flip of my fingers. All you need to do is pay me good money.” Eleks said as soon as he sat down on a chair directly facing Princess. She ordered a cup of Champaign for Eleks who collected it and gulped everything at once like a thirsty donkey.
“There is a girl who wants to snatch my husband. I want to know every single thing about her. She claims to be pregnant for my husband. My husband denies getting her pregnant but I don’t know what the truth is. I want you to find out what happened between them. I want to know who got her pregnant, where she comes from, her education and where she worked before entering my house. I want this done as fast as possible before she would give birth. She is already seven months pregnant.” Princess tells Eleks. She was not smiling and she was constantly hitting the table as she talked. She fought hard to control her voice from going up. Her heart is truly troubled and Eleks could feel the tension.
“Your bill is N5 million. You are giving me half of the money before I will start. Then when I’m done, you will give me the rest of the money.” Eleks said. He requested for another cup of Champaign which he also drank the same way he drank the other one.
“Money is not the problem. In fact, instead of N5 million, I’m paying you N7 million to get this job done with a few days. I don’t want to lose my husband. Like I said earlier, the girl in question is currently pregnant. I have never conceived for my husband. You can see how threatened I feel. If she gives birth to this baby and if truly my husband got her pregnant, I will be chased out of the house. I don’t want this to happen. Type your account number into my phone.” Princess said and handed her phone to Eleks. Within a few minutes, he got alert of N4 million.
“When the job is done, I will transfer the balance of N3 million to you.” Princess said.
“I need her name and phone number. I also need your husband’s phone number and work address.” Eleks said with a mild smile on his face. He was very happy after getting the alert of N4 million. Princess searched through her phone and called out Amaka’s phone number for Eleks. She had managed to steal it one day when Amaka was asleep in the living room.
“Please, I want results. No excuses, no failures. My marriage is at stake here.” Princess tells Eleks. She was very emotional and was almost shedding tears. She grabbed her car keys and drove out of the hotel.
Eleks commenced work immediately. First, he typed the phone number into his True Caller app and Amaka’s full name popped up as ‘Amaka Ekezi.’ Luckily for him, the True Caller also showed that Amaka works as a cleaner at Atraka Hotels. He drove to the hotel and asked the receptionist on duty if she knows anyone called Amaka Ekezi.
“Yes! She is our cleaner but she is on leave. She is pregnant, so she is on leave until she delivers her baby.” The receptionist responded. She was typing and her eyes were on the computer screen as she talked to Eleks. The information she gave out confirmed to Eleks that he is investigating the right person and that he is at the right place.
“I’m also wondering if you know Chief Egbe. He gave me a parcel to deliver to Amaka. Do you know him?” Eleks asked stylishly.
“Why all these questions? What do you want? Are you a police officer?” The receptionist asked. She had become suspicious.
“No! On the contrary, I’m a delivery man. I just told you I have a parcel from Chief Egbe and I’m supposed to deliver it to Amaka.” Eleks lied. He knew he was lying but considered it necessary for the job.
“Yes, Chief Egbe is one of our biggest customers who visits this hotel every weekend. Would you like me to take the package on Amaka’s behalf?” The receptionist asked and then went back to what she was doing.
“Unfortunately, I was instructed to hand it over to her in person. But thanks for giving me attention.” Eleks said with a smile. He drove off to a safe location and then packed his car. He brought out his phone and called Princess.
“I have a little breakthrough to announce. I can establish now that Amaka is a hotel cleaner and that your husband visits this hotel every week. I will have more information for you tomorrow.” Eleks said.
“That’s good. I always knew he was telling lies. Now, I’m going to expose him.” Princess said as she dropped the call.
