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
The chopper touched down at C.P corporations hangar and Cody carried a happy Cecil out. “Daddy! Can we go in again? Mummy doesn’t let me go in the chopper” Cecil begged.“I’ll take you on another one again the next time I come for you” Cody assured him and he was elated. Seth and Marguerite met them on the 15th floor and Marguerite took Cecil’s hand.“Did you enjoy your stay with daddy?” She asked him and he nodded.“It was so fun… I want to go again” Cecil said happily.“Marguerite thank you for enduring Eileen’s harsh temper for me I’ll reward you handsomely” Cody said.“Working for you is enough reward Mr. Whyte” she responded and made for the elevator. Seth turned to Cody.“How much did you charge her for ransom?” He asked and Cody smiled.“I told her to pay 1 million she didn’t hesitate, she said she’ll hand it over when I hand the boy over” Cody answered.“So have you called the guys to meet us?” Seth asked again.“Yeah, don’t traumatize my boy, let’s do a smooth handing over”
When Cody and Seth made it back to Golden springs they were both exhausted from all the ups and downs. They went to their rooms and fell asleep. Myra’s shift was over and she happily made for Cody’s house, she knew there was nothing to eat at her hostel and she had used all her money on reading materials and other needs, she was hoping to pack some groceries from Cody’s house but she rang the bell severally to no response. She lurked around for a while then finally left with a disappointed look on her face. She didn’t go back to her hostel she took a cab and went straight home.Several hours later Cody woke up and called home to speak to the children. He exchanged some pleasantries with Nina and hanged up. He came out of his room and went to sit in the living room and buried himself in his thoughts. Seth joined him in the living room minutes later looking well rested.“I kind of miss Cecil” he remarked and Cody smiled.“I miss him too” Cody replied as Seth threw himself in the couc
Nina was preparing for a steamy weekend to patch up things with Cody. She shopped for some lingerie, scented candles, perfumes, some fruits, ice cream and all sort of stuff. She came back home feeling proud of herself smiling from ear to ear. Then called Cody.After three rings he answered the call in a hoarse voice. “Are you still in bed?” Nina asked, she was surprised his voice was hoarse at that time of the day, it was either he was very tired or was asleep.“I’m in bed, I returned from two trips and I thought I could go to work but it’s impossible, I’ve been asleep the whole day” Cody explained.“So are you going to come home after resting enough?” She asked hoping to get a positive answer.“No, I’m sorry Nina I’m too tired to do this, I’ll see you next weekend” he responded.Nina choked on tears, she didn’t know how to react over what Cody had just said. “I thought maybe you’d come so we could plan our anniversary celebration, the anniversary is just a month away” she said
