Nina sat behind a laptop working on some ads to get a caretaker for Cody. When Cody wheeled into the study he was displeased to see Nina there. He hadn’t slept a wink and was in no mood to communicate with anybody. He was about to wheel away when Nina looked up at him.“Good morning Cody, I just put out some ads” she said feeling proud of herself.“What ads?” He asked nonchalantly.“The one to get you a caretaker” she reminded him.“But I have Tia and there are other servants in here what do I need more for?” Cody buzzed.“Cody none of the maids here have expertise in taking care of a person with disability, we need a professional… you’re disabled now and need proper care”Her words struck Cody in the wrong place, when he left the hospital he had asked and had been assured that he’ll walk again. He was hopeful that his pain and fears would end but here Nina sat calling him disabled, like there was no hope for him. Fear began to grip him and so did sorrow.“I hope you don’t misunderst
Tia stayed in the kitchen making breakfast but her mind was far away, she had regretted promising to do anything for Cody and was planning to quit her job without Cody’s notice. She only had to wait till a good caretaker was hired then she’d take a french leave.She walked to the hall with some tea and handed it to Nina who was busily interviewing a heavily disguised Rosa. Tia’s eyes fell on Rosa they both stared at each other for a while before she walked away. Even though she did not recognize her she just had a bad feeling about her. As she handed the tea to Nina, Cody wheeled in. Nina smiled when she saw Cody while Tia slowly walked out of the office.“Honey, meet Francia, she really knows a lot of stuff about taking care of a disabled person, she’s really good” Nina said happily.Cody frowned upon hearing Nina use the word disabled yet again. “We’re hiring her I’m sure you’d love her” Nina continued enthusiastically.“We don’t need her” Cody said bluntly and wheeled away.When
The doctor examined Cody’s folder for a while and put his x-ray results back into the folder. He looked up at Cody who was seated on the examination table.“I’ll be back in a jiffy” he excused himself and left the ward.Seth helped Cody dress up “Mr. Whyte there’s something on my mind I’ve been wanting to ask you” Cody nodded so he continued “Do you still recollect where you were headed to on the day of your accident?”“I was headed home” Cody answered.“How about where you were headed from?” Seth asked.“I was from Eileen’s, I had gone to give her the contract the lawyer drafted for me”Seth nodded trying gather his thoughts “Mr. Whyte, how did she react when you handed her the contract?” He asked again.Cody searched his mind then answered “she wasn’t happy she was hoping we’d get married or something close to that” “And how about the accident do you remember how it happened?” Seth asked hoping Cody will catch the hook himself.Cody only shook his head “All I remember was that I w
Nina sat in the study talking on the phone and crying the following morning. She didn’t even notice when Rosa passed by and greeted her.“Oh Amaya, he asked me to get a divorce when I was only trying to calm him down… he has been insecure ever since he got back from the hospital… he protests at every suggestion… oh it’s so hard Amaya” she sobbed. “He said to get a divorce, so I’ll just get it…” Francia quickly walked away from the doorway, she was excited to say the least. If Nina was getting a divorce then there was no need to kill her and the children, all she needed to do was kick Eileen out of the picture and make Cody hers again.Back at the study Nina continued sobbing why Amaya tried her best to console her at the other end of the phone. “It’s not like I don’t love him Amaya… you know how much I do… I wouldn’t say I’m happy but I look at the bright side of everything for instance… now that he’s stuck in the wheelchair he can’t go out there and cheat on me like he used to… tha
The crashing effect of the slap sparked a memory from the accident scene he just saw the two cars collide then everything went blank. Tia who had also witnessed everything rushed to Cody’s side. “Are you okay sir?” She cried, Nina turned around in horror when she saw Cody’s head resting on Tia’s shoulder. She rushed back to the scene.“Oh my God is he okay” she asked trying to help him up.Tia pushed her aside, Tia’s attitude surprised Nina.“Oh my days, did you just push me? Tia it looks like you should consider joining Rosario in retirement” Nina exclaimed.“How dare you slap the master one minute and act like you care the next minute” Tia yelled Cody sat up again and touched his head.“And that gives you the right to push me?” Nina questioned her still shocked.Tia got back on her feet and faced Nina. “You have beaten him enough, now can you let him recover from his injuries so you can continue hitting him?”Nina took steps back in shock “Cody did you see how she just spoke to m
Eileen stepped into her penthouse to find a parcel waiting for her. She opened it happily but screamed and threw it away when she saw the contents of the box. A somewhat bloodstained nightmarish looking doll, a note fell out of it and she shivered a little before picking it up.{Hello Silver,The longer you take to avenge my sister, the more you pile up my punishment for you, if you want to raise your child in a safe environment, you know what to do.Love Robin.}She sighed and threw the note away and sank into an armchair. Louie had warned her about messing with the Whytes yet she didn’t listen, now she was in even more trouble than just being behind Cody’s accident. Benjy knocked and walked in holding a bottle of grape juice. He saw the look of distress in Eileen’s eyes and the scattered parcel on the floor.“Are you okay?” He enquired.“Your cousin just threatened my unborn child, I’m not okay”“What does he want from us?” Benjy asked.“He wants us to avenge his sister” Eileen an
As the paramedics took Nina away Dylan tagged along. Before Cody could try and get himself in the van it had sped off. Nobody cared or even asked who he was. He pushed the button and went inside he grunted and burst into tears. Amaya came downstairs and saw him crying she paused not knowing how to react.“What just happened?” She asked not aware of what had just taken place. Cody immediately wiped his tears and turned his chair to face her.“Nina is in danger she was rushed to the hospital” Cody broke the news to her horror.“oh my god! Why are you still here then?” She asked running towards him.Tears flowed down his face “Can you take me?” “Sure!” She responded and grabbed the car keys on the key rack and wheeled Cody out.When they got to the hospital they were about to go inside her ward when a nurse stopped them. “If you go inside it’ll be too crowded, there’s already one person in there” she said.“What the hell! She’s my wife! What’s happening? I need to know and I need to
Benjy paced Eileen’s porch after knocking severally and not getting any response. At dusk Rosa walked to the porch, she was about to open the door when she saw Benjy shivering at one corner of the porch in his jacket. She stared at him and he stared back at her weakly.“Come in, you’ll catch a cold” she said and Benjy slowly got up and followed her inside.Benjy was too numb from the cold to even talk to her. She quickly served him some hot cup of coffee and he sat on the couch drinking slowly.“What do you want?” She asked innocently.“I’ll cut to the chase, I know you harmed Eileen, I’m here to find out why you did it” “Did what?” She feigned innocence.“Cut the crap woman, I know how good you are when it comes to using herbs and chemicals, that was why we hired you in the first place” Benjy stated.Rosa smiled while taking off her disguise.“Thanks for the compliment, but I’m not the only one who experiments with medicine” she stated firmly. “Ask yourself, what is there to gain f
