Alison and Myra walked out of the lecture hall holding their bags. “You can feel spring kicking in!” Alison sniffed and happily bounced while they walked to the hostel.“I’m so hungry, don’t you have any food in your dormitory?” Myra asked. “We’d have to go home and rob our parents and run away” Alison suggested.“I robbed them last week and the previous week and I still don’t have food, we have to control our appetite” Myra said desperately.“Or you can stop hiding from Mr. Whyte so he brings us food everyday” Alison suggested.“Mr. Whyte is not a delivery man, and he keeps asking me to date him” Myra moaned.“I wish I were you, I’d have said yes before he even asked me to be his girlfriend” Alison said.“Go ask him then” “Myra I know you like him, you’re only playing hard to get, if you see him with someone else I know you’re going to cry” Alison teased her. “I want my first boyfriend to be my last that’s why I’m taking my time, I want that magical experience, no bitter break u
Nina inspected the ball room critically to find any flaws, Amaya walked beside her admiring every bit of the hall. The building was a castle that had been transformed into a hall to hold formal events. In the beginning Nina wanted her and Cody to go to a resort for their 9th anniversary but that fight they had made him not talk to her the whole weekend. They had had series of arguments and fights but Cody was always the first to make amends after each one even when it was her fault. This time was different, he wouldn’t talk to her and he spent the weekend with the children the whole time and stayed out of her way.“I think this place is perfect” Amaya said admiringly, “you should definitely hire this place for the ball” “I think it’s too huge we don’t know that many people, and how are they going to do the decor on time?” Nina started to criticize the place but paused when she met the stern gaze of Amaya.“This is like the 10th ball room we’re looking at today and they’re not even t
Myra gently knocked on Cody’s office door and sneaked in. She found him in a pensive mood his eyes were closed with hands clasped together facing the ceiling like he was praying while his chin rested against his thumbs. Myra sat on the chair facing his desk and breathed in.“Mr. Whyte” she called out softly and Cody opened his eyes then smiled when he noticed it was her.“Hello, Myra how are you?” He asked.“I’m perfect, you don’t seem fine is there a problem? Are you facing any business crisis” she asked like she had dropped bombshell.Cody chuckled and his mood lightened up a little. “There’s just something that’s troubling me, that’s why I’ve been a bit pensive these two days, sorry I haven’t checked up on you like I’m supposed to” Myra smiled “I understand… what’s wrong, is there something I can help with?” She asked inquisitively.“Naah, I wouldn’t want to drag you into this” Cody replied.“Try me, I’m smarter than I look, my head is full of ideas” She bragged making Cody gigg
Dylan impatiently waited for a call from Cody, when his phone finally buzzed, he breathed a sigh of relief and answered the call.“Hello, Cody any update?” “From the conversation it looks like she did get her hands on Rosa but she’s escaped, when I threatened her she knew exactly who I was talking about… since Rosa is not in their custody at the moment, it means she’s out there” Cody informed him.“So how do I find her? What do I do?” Dylan asked unable to think straight. He missed Rosa and was more worried about her than he would admit. He was only angry because he thought she had ditched him but now that he realized she was in danger he couldn’t eat sleep or concentrate on anything else. He had even taken some days of work to get his thoughts straight.“Eileen will be leaving the country soon, so you can report Rosa missing immediately she leaves, she’ll be in no position to fabricate any story to cover up for herself neither will she have time to harass Rosa I’m going to keep her
Now the plan was simple, they’d keep Cecil in Witting till they got a fair idea of Rosa’s safety. Cody would make one trip to Witting to follow up on the report with Eileen and during that time Cecil would be taken care of by Myra since Tia was having her time off. Cody and Seth had already found ways they were going to entertain Cecil they started by playing videos for kids and he seemed to be having the time of his life, while he kept asking Cody lots of questions. Cody’s heart began to warm up to the boy, he was his son after all.They stepped out on their way to the park both of them holding Cecil’s hands. Cody whispered to Seth.“Myra will be waiting for me at the park, so you go now, to the car rental and get us a car, tomorrow we’ll go back to Witting” “Noted… take care” Seth said and turned around and waved at Cecil who waved back at him then left. Cody was impressed by how well behaved Cecil was but figured he was used to being left behind due to the nature of his mother
Eileen dragged Marguerite her nanny to the police station to file a report. She was so livid that she could shoot her that instant. “Lady calm down and tell me the whole story” the police man said to Marguerite.“He was not well, he had a temperature and a flu and kept crying for his mummy… I took him to the hospital and got some prescription then brought him back home to get him something to eat, I left him in the nursery then went to the kitchen when I came back he wasn’t there” Marguerite explained “There were no break ins?” The police man asked and Marguerite shook his head. “The surveillance tape didn’t capture anything either yet it’s working very fine” Marguerite answered.“Okay, so we’ve posted him on the missing children page, we’ll put it…”“I don’t want my son’s face all over the internet and tv and on milk boxes, I really don’t want to expose his identity to the public like that” Eileen retorted cutting the police man off.“That’s the fastest way of finding him, unl
Cody’s phone started ringing, he thought it was Nina but when he checked it was Myra. He looked up at Eileen.“I need to take this call, Nina will get suspicious if I don’t answer it” He started to wheel out when Eileen stopped him.“Why can’t you take the call here?” She said.“It’s a video call I’ll take it in the study” he answered and wheeled out. Cody wheeled back into the hall and told Seth to monitor and ensure Eileen wouldn’t come out to eavesdrop.Cody answered Myra’s called and talked in a low voice “Hello, is everything alright?” “No, Mr. Whyte he’s getting cranky he wants to go out and he wants to go to mummy, so I’m preparing to take him out to calm him down” Myra responded.“No!” Cody quickly countered “don’t take him out”“But why Mr. Whyte? He’s crying and being very bad tempered, the neighbors will think I’ve kidnapped him if I don’t figure a way to quiet him down” Myra said in a frustrated tone.“Let me talk to him” he requested and Myra put him on the phone.“Hel
Myra turned on the speakers and started playing some songs for children, then she started dancing Cecil looked entertained he started to dance along and laugh loudly. Myra was relieved to finally have him calm down after throwing tantrums all afternoon. They danced and then she cooked him dinner then danced some more with him. Then she bathe him, they were on their out of the bathroom when Cody came in.“Daddy!” Cecil exclaimed while Myra breathed a sigh of relief.“My baby!” Cody exclaimed he opened his arms and Cecil ran into his arms they hugged happily.“Did you buy my paw patrol?” He asked and Cody nodded.“And I got you ninja turtles too” Cody.“Yaaay thank you daddy” Cecil rejoiced.They dressed him up for bed and tucked him in. When he fell asleep they both stole out of the room and closed the door gently. Cody stepped out first followed by Myra as soon Myra closed the door she turned around and tripped Cody grabbed and they both got lost in each other’s gaze.“I missed yo
