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
Myra chose the perfect Tiara, bracelet and ring for Claire. She was making for the counter when she saw Cody still shopping for toys for boys and girls.She stared at him with a frown and stood there waiting for him. When everything was done and paid for she helped Cody park his toys into the car.“Good, now my sister will kill me when I go back, she’s going to report me for stepping out on my shift” Myra moaned.“That’s your sister? You guys got a job at the same place?” Cody asked.“She’s my step sister, that shop belongs to our dad, my step dad… anytime I step out of my shift to learn Whitney will tell our dad and he’ll deduct the money from my paycheck” Myra explained to Cody.“Well… so you work and school? I don’t get it” Cody asked.“My stepdad says college is expensive and I want to study medicine so I have to work to earn my keep… that’s why I’m begging you to be lenient with me on the damages caused at the lab… my stepdad will let me slave to pay for it” she pleaded with
So all the years she had been thankful and working hard at the jewelry store because she was grateful to her stepdad for paying her college tuition was a lie. “Mummy how could you do this to me? You saw how he made me work long shifts at the jewelry store… even when I had exams.., and you couldn’t tell me the truth” Myra said sadly.“Because the tuition isn’t the only thing you needed money for, your feeding, your allowances, your books, shelter… he helps you pay for all that” Monica explained..“He doesn’t help mummy, I work to earn money and then he takes his share out of it leaving me with barely anything” she ranted.“So will you take the job offer?” Monica asked.“Yes mummy, I need to take the offer it will help me a lot” she said trying her best to avoid mentioning the mess she had caused at lab. “That’s cool with me, if Mr. Cooper gets cranky about it just go spend some days at your aunt’s place” Monica said and walked to the exit.“Good night, Myra”“Good night mummy” S
Dylan stopped by the bake shop to get some breakfast before continuing on his way to work. When he stepped out he bumped into a scruffy looking woman in her late 20’s. He stepped out of the way for her and turned to look at her again, she looked familiar, was she a cleaner at his workplace or a scavenger looking for scraps at the junkyard near their office. He stood outside the shop staring at her as she grabbed a doughnut shook off some notes paid for it a made for the exit. She bumped into Dylan again and before she could complain she passed out. Dylan shook her vigorously but she wouldn’t wake up, he stopped a taxi and rushed her to the nearest hospital.“Dylan sat at the hospital waiting impatiently for results” A doctor approached him and he quickly stood to his feet. “What’s your relationship to the young woman you just brought in?” She asked.“I have no idea… she just… she’s just a cleaner at my workplace… she passed out and I brought her here” Dylan responded.“She only pas
Cody and Seth inspected the hostel facility and Cody nodded in satisfaction. “This is nice, do you think she’ll like it?” Cody asked Seth with a big smile on his face.“Who? You told me this place was for one of your business partners, I don’t know what she likes but she should like it” Seth answered feeling uneasy about how excited Cody was.“It’s for someone, I know she’ll like it… let’s go” he said and walked out of the room, Seth tagged along with a look of displeasure on his face.All throughout work Cody kept imagining what Myra’s reaction would be like when he showed her the room. At exactly 5:00 he drove out, Seth followed him at a distance on a motorbike so Cody wouldn’t notice.Myra was seated on a lover’s bench with her friend Alison in a garden outside their faculty, busily discussing their notes when Cody’s car stopped. Myra looked up at the white bentley and thought it looked familiar.“Mr. Whyte?” She said under her breath. Alison frowned.“Huh? Who’s Mr. Whyte?”Cody
Monica couldn’t believe what Myra was telling her till she got to the hostel and saw the facility Cody had gotten for her daughter.“You can’t be serious Myra, tell me this place is for Alison” Monica said in disbelief as she walked around the room inspecting it critically.Alison who was sprawled on warm rug on the floor raised her head and shook it.“No aunt Monica, Myra’s sugar daddy got this place for her” Alison clarified.“He’s my boss not my sugar daddy!” Myra yelled back.“Myra are you sleeping with your boss?” Monica asked.“Mummy? How could you think like this of me, I’m twenty and haven’t even had my first kiss yet” Myra agonized. She sat down in the armchair. “Wow this is bouncy” she commented.“Myra, when you go to work today invite him for dinner this weekend, I need to see him and find out what his intentions are” Monica ordered.“But mummy he’s my boss!” Myra protested.“Exactly why I need to talk to him, before I can allow you to stay here”Myra sulked while her moth
