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
They made for the 7 seater Audi since it was more convenient for a family trip. While Nina run after the kids trying to get them in line. Seth wheeled Cody slowly.“Guess it’s not that bad of an idea for Nina to join us right?” He asked Seth.Seth had been with him since he was a child he was just a year or two older, though he worked for the Whyte’s Cody considered him as a brother than a staff. He was the only one that came close as a friend though Seth wouldn’t stop calling him Mr. Whyte and he had given up on stopping him from saying that.“I’ll be very honest Mr. Whyte, this is so far your dumbest idea ever, I don’t even want to think about it” Seth answered.“I also don’t even want to think think about it, whatever happens happens, I’m very exhausted from trying to save face all the time” Cody answered in a relaxed mood. Seth figured he had taken his painkillers and hence his very relaxed mood. Cody was suffering from migraines and sleepless nights after his collision so he wa
Cody and Nina lay in bed chatting happily when Nina’s face changed into that of concern. “Your ring, where’s it? Today when we were at the party I realized you weren’t wearing your ring and you haven’t been wearing it for sometime now why?” She questioned “Honestly I’ve been looking for it too, I think I lost it during the accident or at the hospital and it never crossed my mind to replace it” Cody answered.“So what do we do?” Nina asked.“I’ll get another one, don’t worry” Cody assured her. “We’re not newly weds I know you too well, you will never get it until I follow you to the Jewelry store to get one” Nina said and Cody smiled fondly at the mention of jewelry store, it brought back memories of a girl he had left behind at Golden springs.Nina misinterpreted the smile to be because of what she said.“Look at that handsome face of yours, always trying to get away with everything not this time young man, I ordered a ring, it’ll be here tomorrow, I get to see you wear it before
On the way back to golden springs Cody took off his ring and wrapped it in a paper and hid it in his empty migraine prescription bottle. He had wanted to text Myra but the truth is he had not taken her number and she had not even once texted or called him. He didn’t know why he was disappointed in her attitude didn’t she see him as her friend? Why was she treating him this way? Cody had never experienced what waiting felt like he had the girls throwing themselves easily at him so the actions of Myra left him confused. Did she throw the card away, didn’t she miss him?He turned to Seth who was focused on driving safely. “Seth, do you think Myra didn’t like the room we got her?” “Hmmm, we… hmmm I have no idea Mr. Whyte, you can find out from her tomorrow at work” Seth answered in a sarcastic tone.“Yes… I can find out tomorrow” Cody agreed not catching the sarcasm in his tone.“But Mr. Whyte why does it matter if she likes it or not… you’re only doing her a favor… or did she say she
Myra put her purse down and checked the time, it was a few hours before her shift starts. She decided to eat something before hurrying off to the lab. Just when she was finishing up her lunch Alison stormed in.“Great I was looking for you” she blurted out and took one chicken nugget from Myra’s plate.“What for?” Myra asked.“You know something Myra” Alison said getting closer to her as she sat at her dining table. “Since Mr. Whyte likes you I was thinking you could put in a good word for me so I can do my house…”“No! But who says he likes me? You should see him at the office, he doesn’t smile, he’s so mean and scary… I couldn’t possibly ask him for that kind of favor especially when he has done more than enough for me” Myra retorted.“You’re doing this for a friend Myra, you know the popular saying? A candle loses nothing by lightning other candles?” Alison pleaded.“I’m not a candle, I’m scared of Mr. Whyte, I spend my entire shift trying to avoid him” “For me Myra, this is for
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
