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
Nina got out of police custody with the help of her mother and father who got a doctor to register her as a mentally unstable person to get her out of trouble with the law. When they got to the car park Mrs. Story grabbed Nina’s ear and dragged her to the car. They got inside the car and Mr. Story started yelling at Nina. “Where the hell did you learn to hit other people? If you wanted to fight you could’ve told us so we register you for WWE” “Daddy you have no idea how it feels to be married to Cody” she tried to explain.“He’s not the one beating you, nobody is going to listen to your side of the story if you keep hitting him” Mr. Yelled.“What on earth could make you do that when he was holding your children, Claire’s forehead got swollen? Nina why did you overreact in that manner?” Mrs. Story chimed in.“Mummy, it hurts… it hurts so much because I realized that Cody had been walking for a long time but had kept it from me, the moment Clinton told me Cody was walking I knew it o
Cody left after Mr. Story told him he’d have to think about it and give him a response. He went home was greeted by the silence, with the kids gone it was expected. He wondered where Nina was, then it occurred to him that the next day was their anniversary. Maybe they should spend it together just the two of them, they could trash out their problems and decide the way forward. He quickly dialed some numbers and asked them to prepare the beach house for them for the next day.Nina sat at the dining table in the dining room sobbing and drinking some wine. She felt so overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do with herself. Was she the bad person in the marriage or Cody had made her this way? Maybe this was the real her and it took Cody to actually bring out the demons in her. She sobbed uncontrollably and drank some more. Cody walked into the dining room and saw her, he took a seat opposite her and pulled a glass for himself, he gestured that she pours some of the wine for him. She scoffe
