Myra took off the lab coat and picked up her bag to leave. She said her goodbyes to her lab friends and met up with Alison at the Lobby and stepped out with her. “I can’t wait to be done with Exams already!” Alison cried.“We haven’t even started, exams is next month” Myra said.“Next month is next week” Alison stated and Myra’s mouth dropped open.“So soon? Wow” Myra remarked.“I can’t wait to go home for the Christmas holidays, I miss home, I miss everyone, you should come along too or you have plans?” Alison asked teasingly.“I don’t have any plans” Myra responded.“Then you should come home with me, we will make a lot of videos and go to new restaurants” Alison said excitedly.“Alison, I think Mr. Whyte may have plans for us” The words Myra just said had Alison confused, she stood still and stared at her.“Oh my god! Are you guys finally going out?” Alison asked in shock. Myra nodded in response and Alison nudged her.“Damn you Myra! How come you never told me? I thought we wer
Dylan followed Mr. Story to the two bedroom duplex the latter had just helped him purchase and showed him around. Dylan was beyond grateful that Mr. Story would go out of his way just to come and inspect the place with him. They went inside and Mr. Story smiled with satisfaction.“I hope you like the place, because even I like it” Mr. Story said and turned to Dylan. Dylan was already grateful for what his boss had done for him he didn’t even care about the interior he had lived in a much smaller place which was overcrowded and he managed to live there peacefully. He was grateful that his CEO had helped him not only acquire the place but come to see it with him.“I love it sir, thank you so much I’m very grateful” Dylan thanked him.Mr. Story nodded and paced the room. “I like you a lot Dylan you know why?” He asked and Dylan shook his head. “It’s not because of your great work ethics, you remind me of my son”“Son? Nina has a brother?” Dylan asked looking shocked.Mr. Story nodded “
Mr. Story sent Rosa’s picture and name to one of his men who worked at the social security office and asked for feedback on her. Later he got a response that she was a nurse, at St. Theresa’s hospital some years back but had since been fired and her license to work as a nurse had been ceased. Mr. Story’s curiosity was piqued at this moment he had to find out what had caused the termination of employment and since Mr. Whyte had part ownership in the hospital he figured he’d know who to direct him to. He called him and he answered it.The friendship of their wives and the marriage of their children had made them develop some form of friendship that didn’t go too deep unless they had business to discuss. “Hello Herbert, been a while, hope you’re great” He said immediately Mr. Whyte picked up.“I’m great and you?” Mr. Whyte responded.“Same here, I’m sending a picture and some ID details to your phone right now, can you let your hospital manager give me the history of this nurse an
Eileen read through the law suits Cody had filed against her. The court hearing was set to begin 3 months into the new year. She was livid, Cody’s nasty attitude was driving her crazy. He was the one who neglected her and her child and just after one kidnap case he thought he had the right to file for full custody. He must be nuts. She threw the documents away and got up from her desk, she marched out of the study room and found Louie and Benjy watching the evening news. Louie turned to look at her and sigh.“Benjy can I see you for a second?” Eileen said and walked away. Benjy got up and followed her back to the study room.“Did you get any information on where Cody lived and if he’s seeing another woman?” Eileen asked.“Still haven’t been able to find his residence I’ve sent someone after him but it’s been hard. They have two labs in Golden springs and it’s been a bit hard determining which one he’s stationed at” Benjy replied.Eileen tried to remember if Cody had told her anything
Dylan was shaken by the news Mr. Story had broken to him about Rosa. She was right after all she was a bad person, but now that she was carrying his child what was he going to do? He had managed to convince Mr. Story that Rosa may have acted that way because Cody may have been bad to her and also she had already been punished enough for her mistakes so then it was only fair that she be left alone. Mr. Story agreed with him and promised to not reveal to Cody that they were really in the country. Now as he stared at Rosa’s innocent face he wondered how such an angelic looking person could try to paralyze an ex and also try to kill a celebrity. How did she meet all these people, what did they do to her?He sat on the bed and stared at her she gave him a questioning look wondering what was going on in his mind.“You were a nurse in this country… does the name Cody ring a bell?” He asked her.“Cody?” She echoed and went silent for a while and shook her head slowly. Dylan went and sat
Myra was lying in bed thinking about the exams she had written earlier that day. She sat up uncomfortably and took a book and flipped through it, she read a line or two and sighed.“It’s correct” she whispered “you better get an A Myra!” She scolded herself and layback in her bed. There was a loud knock on her door so she climbed out of bed and went to open it only to find Cody buried in his jacket shivering. She quickly ushered him in and tried to make him a cup of hot tea. Cody placed his gifts on the table and took off his jacket, he hanged it on the wall. Then hugged her.“Mr. Whyte are you okay?” She asked hugging him back.“Just stay like this for a while, please” he begged and Myra gently patted his back, looking small in his arms. Cody had wept all the way to Myra’s place, confused as to what to do with her mother’s request. He lifted his head and disengaged from the hug.“Mr. Whyte your eyes look puffy, have you been crying?” Myra questioned.“No, I just got something i
On their way back home Myra was confused what did Cody mean by all he had said. She wanted to ask him but she didn’t know how, she still had a bit of shyness and a communication problem she was still dealing with. She didn’t seem to know how to communicate her feelings to Cody or draw his attention when he was doing something she didn’t like. She opened her mouth to ask what he meant but what came out sounded like this,“Mr. Whyte so does it mean that you’re not returning to Springs when you go back this weekend? You’re not returning until the new year?” Cody nodded and patted her knee then squeezed it a little. “It’s just a two week break, you’ll see me in the new year” he consoled her.When he parked in front of her hostel Myra opened her bag and took out a chain, a small silver Cuban chain for men and smiled at Cody.“Mr. Whyte, this is my Christmas gift to you, can you let me put it around your neck?” Myra asked.“Sure” he responded and positioned himself for her to wear
The trip back home was a silent one, Cody was thinking of what to do next in this confusing phase of his life. Seth was busily planning on how to get Cody to behave and also solve the case once and for all. Tia was just praying for her beloved boss who doubled as her son. When they got home they were told that Nina had gone out for a business meeting, Cody used that opportunity to go rest on the balcony and think. Out of all the women he had had to dump this was the hardest for him. The thought of it was just wearing him out. His phone rang and he dashed out of the balcony and made for the room, then bumped into Clinton. He was overjoyed to see Cody.“Daddy!” He went to hug his father “you can walk now?” Cody froze what a mess, he thought the children were still at school because he had come home on a Friday afternoon.“How are you Clinton?” He asked changing the subject.“Mummy! Daddy can walk” Clinton screamed happily and ran out of the room. “Oh God is Nina home?” Cody mouthed a
Meanwhile, back at Golden Springs Cody had left an amount of money in Myra’s account and made her a permanent staff at the C.P. corporation. She had moved in with Tia and Cecil because Cody made her Cecil’s guardian in his will. Tia and Monica dressed Myra up for her graduation Cecil ran around telling Myra how good she looked in her dress.“I wish Mr. Whyte was here to see me graduate,” Myra said as tears welled up in her eyes.“Don’t cry, don’t ruin the special moment Mr. Whyte would want you to smile today” Monica consoled her.“But I miss him… I miss him today more than ever” Myra said fighting back tears.“I miss him too Myra, I cried so much last night, he was like a son to me,” Tia said as a tear dropped down her cheeks Myra hugged her as they cried and consoled each other.“Stop it, ladies! Myra, you’re ruining your makeup!” Monica cautioned them. Cecil ran across the hall shouting “Mama! Uncle Seth is here!” “You see? Now you’re going to be late because you ruined all the m
After Myra gave her account she was allowed to go but Nina was still in police custody. She stepped out of the station and saw Dylan, she walked up to him and exchanged pleasantries with him.“I saw you here yesterday and a few days ago, is Nina your friend?” She asked.Dylan stared at her from head to toe before nodding to her question. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep Nina there any longer, she doesn’t look good” Myra stated.Dylan was surprised by her outburst, how did she know he was there for Nina?“There’s nothing we can do about it, she’s in there for arson” Dylan replied.“I was locked up with her all morning and she told me she was in an asylum once, can’t we use that to help her get out?” Myra said. Dylan’s eyes lit up he didn’t know who Myra was but he was thankful to her. He had no idea Nina had been in an asylum but hearing it now filled him with hope to get Nina out.Eileen stayed in the trailer trying several times to locate Benjy. On the night of the murder, C
Cody’s family swarmed into the investigation room Detective Ruger called for Jamal to bring Nina in. They both came in in a few minutes and sat down, Nina had puffy eyes and so did Mrs. Whyte. She was surprised to see Nina brought in all along she was expecting Myra.“Why is Nina being held in here?” She asked immediately.“She set fire to Cody’s property” Jamal answered.“You? You Nina? You wanted Cody dead?” Mrs. Whyte exclaimed.“Calm down, Cindy” Mr. Whyte patted her on the back.“But I didn’t kill Cody, someone else must have done it and it’s not me” Nina answered crying her eyes out.“Right so I told you about two key witnesses that would help us with this case, I’m bringing one of them in now,” Detective Ruger said and spoke into a small mouthpiece. Soon Dylan came in looking haggard with bloodshot eyes.“Dylan?” Nina exclaimed in shock when she saw him.He looked pitifully at Nina who looked pitifully back at him, he also took a seat in a solemn mood.“The people who killed m
Myra and Tia were in town, Tia had offered to take Myra out to show her around Witting to which the latter readily agreed. Tia really went out of her way to cheer Myra up, she had grown fond of the girl after realizing how innocent she was and how lovely she could be. She really wished Cody hadn’t done what he did to her and this was her way of apologizing to her, when it was getting dark they made their way back to the apartment. Myra they were in the kitchen happily chatting and cooking when Cody came in, no one said a word to him.Myra wasn’t ready to forgive him and Cody didn’t know whether to plead with her or just let her be. In the end, he just joined them in the kitchen trying to get Myra to talk to him.“Myra, do you have lectures anytime soon?” He asked.“Why are you talking to me? I asked you why you were leaving your wife, and you gave me no reply why should we continue talking if you won’t answer my questions don’t ask me questions too” she snapped at him.“Myra, the rea
They had just arrived and they were leaving already Myra was annoyed.“Where are you taking us again Cody?” She demanded a response impatiently.“Myra, calm down we’re going to my other residence then we can talk fully about everything” Cody explained gently.“Why can’t we talk in your house?” Myra inquired angrily.“Because my ex-wife is going there and she’s going to cause a scene if she sees you” Cody explained.Myra fumed angrily “Ex-wife? Cody why didn’t you tell me about all this, she’s not even your ex-wife you liar”Tia reached out and patted Myra on the back since she was seated in the passenger seat behind her.“Myra, can you please calm down for me till we get to our destination?” He pleaded with her.Myra swallowed hard like she had a lump in her throat. She couldn’t believe she had followed Seth all the way to Witting to listen to the explanation of a man who had lied to her. “Myra! What were you thinking?” She asked herself over and over till they got to corn street an
Eileen contacted some of her men to help her get Benjy out of prison. Benjy had broken out of prison before he can do it again with a little push, she thought. At night she sat in an abandoned trailer waiting for Benjy’s escape. This had always been Benjy’s hideout when he had a lot of missions to accomplish so when he finally broke out of jail he headed for the trailer. He was happy when he got to the trailer and Eileen was there waiting for him.“Benjy!” She exclaimed and ran to hug him. He melted in her embrace, it was nice to have Eileen hugging him if only he had been bold enough to tell her how he felt about her, maybe they wouldn’t have been in the mess they were in right now.“Cody is suing me, I thought Rosa’s death would end everything but I was wrong, we were too late he already has all the evidence,” Eileen said.“Is he suing only you or both of us?” Benjy asked.“He sued me, he took advantage of the fact that you were in prison and sued me naming you as my accomplice” E
The phone beeped and Cody answered it. Immediately he did Mr. Story informed him about the death of Rosa.“It happened a few minutes ago but they were able to save the baby girl, guess who was arrested for the shooting?” “Eileen?” Cody asked.“Her bodyguard, I guess you should’ve hurried with your investigations,” he said.“Don’t worry I have all the documents now, the court will summon her, Mr. Story there’s something I need to tell you?” Cody said solemnly.“Go ahead” “I’ve just filed for a divorce from Nina, I’ve thought long and hard about it and I’ve concluded that she doesn’t deserve all I’ve done to her,” Cody said.Mr. Story was silent, he wanted Cody to leave Nina a long time ago but kept his thoughts to himself. Now was not the time to leave Nina, she was having a mental breakdown and he was afraid she would lose it if Cody left her.“Cody, do you think this is the right time? Nina isn’t in her right mind…”“Which is all my fault, the longer I stay with her the more I dam
Alas! Benjy had been able to spot Rosa, she was on her way back from her private antenatal appointment, she was heavily pregnant and dragging herself to a car that had a door opened. Dylan appeared from behind her and rushed to her side then helped her into the car. When the car left he called Eileen.“Guess who I just found… Rosa”“Did you kill her?” Eileen asked immediately she heard Rosa’s name.“That wouldn’t have been possible she was in public and she’s heavily pregnant” Benjy replied.“I don’t care if she’s 80 years pregnant just shoot her and you better do that now” Eileen yelled at him.Without any further thought, he followed the car. Dylan had dropped Rosa at home and was on his way back to the office, the birth of his daughter was a few weeks away and he anticipated the day when he was going to finally hold her in his arms. Meanwhile, Benjy had knocked the security guard out and put on his uniform then made straight for Rosa’s residence. She was looking at some baby clot
A few weeks at the private asylum and Nina had aged, she had refused to eat or sleep and had to be put on medication and a drip. Amaya had cried her eyes out when she saw Nina in that state, now that it was the dawn of her birthday she lay quietly. Thinking back to 5 years ago when she had finally decided to Cody go. The twins, that was the day she found out about their conception, that was the door she went crawling back into a marriage that wasn’t meant to be. She looked at Amaya who sat beside her throughout all the time she was losing it and tried to be there for her. She had cried through the ordeal and even broke down than Nina’s birth parents.“Happy birthday Nina” Amaya whispered.“Thank you… did Cody come?” She asked calmly.Tears welled up in Amaya’s eyes as she shook her head slowly.“But if you relax he might show up” she answered with a forced smile on her face.“How are the twins?” Nina asked again.“They’re doing well at their grandparent's place” Amaya answered. Nina
