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 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.

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!

    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

    Reality suddenly stared Eileen in the face, Rosa was up to something and she was playing with fire, if this was a game Rosa was definitely the player the rest were her avatars.

    Dylan loitered round the supermarket trying to find the most suitable gift for Nina and the babies.

Dylan ignored her and continued looking around the shelves. Amaya followed him around smiling.“I know you want a gift, I have the perfect idea” Amaya continued.“I’m listening” Dylan responded and Amaya smiled.“Let’s make her a baby hamper, there will be baby oil, baby wipes, baby soaps, baby coats, baby socks, baby everything” Amaya explained.“Nina is married to one of the wealthiest people in this country, don’t you think she has all of that?” Dylan responded unenthused by her suggestion.“Giving gifts isn’t about that, it is just to show your thoughtfulness” Amaya lectured him.Dylan nodded in agreement, “let’s do it then” When they were done shopping Dylan picked out a card and scribbled a note in it.

    The doctor checked Eileen’s pulse and shook his head.“No, I can’t let you go, in a few minutes we’ll have the ultrasound again, please be calm” the doctor pleaded with her. She grudgingly agreed Benjy who was in there with her sympathized with her. When the doctor left she sat up on her bed with a frown on her face. She had been at the hospital for a week and was already sick and tired of being kept in there. “Let’s hope after the ultrasound they’ll let you go home” Benjy hoped.“Damn that Rosa woman, I have a feeling she’s behind this whole mess” Eileen cussed. “Me too I even went there to question her but she’s too sly she gets away with everything I guess” Benjy answered.“I think we were not careful enough, we should’ve really researched on who she was and why her license was seized, she’s too intelligent in the field of medicine to be kicked out so easily” Eileen stated.“So what do you suggest? What do we do now?” Benjy asked.“Go to her former workplace find any acquaintanc

    “Mr. Whyte, that guy, is he a friend of miss Eileen?” Seth asked when they were driving back home.“That’s her bodyguard why?” Cody responded.“I see, on the last day of the trial for the accident I saw him with Robin, the guy who claimed to have crashed into your car due to brake failure” Seth answered. Cody’s mind started to run wild, why were they together?
