Rosa carefully wiped off the brown foundation the makeup artist had used to disguise her everyday. Her eye fell on the part of her leg that had been wiped off revealing her skin. She froze in fear, had Cody seen it? Did Cody intentionally do that? Was he suspecting something? She panicked and ran out of the bathroom. If any of the people in the Whyte family caught a wind of her disguising herself and going to Cody they’d deal with her mercilessly. She ran to the bedroom and tried calling Eileen but then paused, what if Eileen switched up on her? Well all she could hope for was that Cody hadn’t seen through her disguise. Just then she heard a clinking sound coming from her window, she slowly got up from her bed and walked slowly to the window.Benjy broke in and jumped inside, Rosa got into a self defense stance. Benjy charged at her and grabbed her by the neck and took out the chloroform from his pocket.“What do you want from me!” Rosa yelled.“Ssshhhh” Benjy responded and chlorofor
Nina sat facing Lila while Lila listened to her with rapt attention. “So after that incident, I always felt Cody was a womanizer no matter where he went I couldn’t trust him, then it started to get the best of me so I resorted to hitting him anytime I got angry with him” Nina narrated.“But apart from that girl did you catch him with anyone again?” Lila questioned.Nina shook her head “No, but I always have that gut feeling so I even got my best friend to tail him she confirmed that Cody was cheating but she never had any evidence so I couldn’t take her word for it”“Mr. Whyte always puts on this unfriendly face at work so it makes it very hard to approach him, so I can’t say I know that side of him… we all wouldn’t believe it if we were told he cheated even once… could it be possible that you have doubt’s because of the first encounter?”Nina shrugged “I don’t know” After her conversation with Lila, Lila she felt thought Nina was depressed and had anxiety but wanted to examine her
“I’ll find a way to get Marisa out of town” Benjy said as they got into his car and started speeding off.“We don’t need your help, you got us into this mess in the first place!” Robin retorted back angrily.“We can’t afford to fight now, I’ve sent some of the men to your apartment to sneak Marisa out, we can discuss our next move after that” Benjy explained.“Why don’t you go to the police and confess everything so we can be spared from this drama?” Robin suggested.“It’s messier than you think, Robin even if I confess now everyone is in even more trouble” Benjy drove them to Eileen’s penthouse and Eileen sat behind her desk with her guards standing in every corner of her room waiting for them. She was in a solemn mood when they arrived. Robin charged at her when he set eyes on her but Benjy stopped him.“This is all this bitch’s fault, see the trouble you caused me” Robin ranted angrily.Eileen looked up unconcerned, she was far more bothered about her son than anything else. She
Dylan was busily examining the new engine they had developed when, he got a call from the CEO. He rushed to the office to find him in the company of the marketing director, administrative director, sales executive and head of the law department. He was anxious to see all of the seated there. He took his seat before the panel and forced a nervous smile.“So Mr. Walsh we reviewed your performance over the few months you’ve been here it’s been almost 10 months or so right? We’ve decided you’ve proved yourself worthy of our promotion” Mr. story announced with a broad smile on his face. “Promotion?” Dylan echoed, sounding as confused as ever.“Yes Mr. Walsh, we want you to be the new supervisor in our branch in Germany, you don’t have to give us and answer now, think about it and get back to us” Mr. Story said. Dylan was dazed for the rest of the day, as his mind kept running wildly about the offer. It was good but he’d be moving to a new environment altogether. There was no chance of s
Dr. Colbert examined Cody’s X-ray while Cody sat on the operating table with his dad standing beside him.“Dad I want to go back to work after this surgery, I’m sick and tired of the massages and the drama” Cody said.“But you need to recover after the surgery, right?” Mr. Whyte asked the doctor who nodded in agreement.“And your physio starts right after surgery, so you’ll barely have time to work” Dr. Colbert informed him.“I won’t be having those exercises the whole day, dad if I stay home with Nina any longer, I’ll kill myself before I recover” Cody threatened.“Cody what the hell is wrong with you, this woman took two years off, just to be by your side, how ungrateful can you be” Mr. Whyte yelled.“I didn’t ask her, she’s driving me nuts dad, she always reminds me of how helpless I am and somehow me being in the wheelchair makes me lose my right to make decisions in the house, then later she makes calls to her friends telling them about how she thinks it’s better that I can’t wa
Nina sat down all night refusing to leave the hospital. She wouldn’t listen to anyone so her mother was called. Mrs. Story came rushing in quickly looking worried about Nina.“Honey, why won’t you go home?” She asked with a concerned look.“It’s an empty house, all my darlings are here” she said and shrunk into one corner of the corridors.“So should we go home?” She asked and Nina looked up dejectedly. “Take the lead mum, I’ll come later” she answered. “Why? Let’s just… go together” she tried to coerce Nina but she wouldn’t budge. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you don’t be long” she retreated and left. Nina tearfully got into her car and drove to Dylan’s apartment when her mom left. She knocked on Dylan’s door till he opened it. She was shivering from the cold and in tears.“Is it possible that one person can be in love with two people at the same time?” She asked immediately.“Huh?” Dylan asked in total confusion.“Is it possible that one heart can beat for two people?” She asked a
Nina helped Cody pack his bags and helped him get all the things he’d need in order to travel. Cody looked at her suspiciously, she looked more happy than necessary.“You look very excited today, is there something I don’t know?” Cody asked.“Nothing, I’m just usually happy nowadays” she answered.“Because the babies are home?” Cody asked again.Nina smiled, the babies had been home for a month they came a week before Cody was discharged she was overjoyed to have everyone at home, though she and Cody took turns taking care of the babies she was more involved and too occupied to be bothered about anything else. “It’s because everyone’s fine now” she responded and Cody nodded. She saw Cody off to the car and Cody left with Seth and Tia. They both kissed and waved each other goodbye.Back at Eileen’s penthouse she had heard that Cody was relocating. She wasn’t too happy because Cody hadn’t discussed it with her neither had he come to see his son after he had been discharged. She made
When Cody got to his home at golden springs he couldn’t help but miss Claire and her tears made him want to go back home. “Next time I’m bringing her along” he thoughtThe following morning after his physio he took his briefcase and left for work with Seth. He was in the office when he heard some unfamiliar sounds coming from the medical lab, he forgot about his wheelchair and rushed to the lab. A group of students had caused a shelf to shift making some tests tubes to fall and crack. They all watched on in horror not knowing what to say or do. Cody walked in with a stern look on his face.“What’s going on here?” He asked with an equally stern look. There was one girl with neck length short brown hair and big blue beautiful eyes, who cowered to the back and hid herself behind the crowd of students.The leader tried to explain what had happened but Cody’s attention was drawn to the innocent looking medical student at the back. He dismissed them and said he’d discuss the damage with t
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
