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
Myra stared into nothing trying to recall what happened the night before. She impatiently tapped the table with her finger nail. Investigator Anand stared at her patiently.“Do you recall now? What happened?” He asked her. She shook her head.“It’s not like I’ve forgotten, yes we got into a big fight, yes it caused a lot of damage… but did I kill him? No i did not it didn’t go that far”“What were some of the damages the fight caused” he asked her as he got ready to take notes.“His…” she stopped and stared at him. “I need to talk to my lawyer, I’ll only talk when my lawyer gets here”“Young lady… I’m getting your testimony down so I can proceed with the investi…”“My lawyer asked me not to give anymore information till he gets here, I’ve told you all I know”“I can see you enjoy being kept here, your lawyer is taking ages, look, I can help you… I can help you out of this mess only if you’ll cooperate with me” he tried to assure her.Myra stared at him in disdain. She didn’t trust him
Myra started to get anxious why did it seem like her family had abandoned her when she needed them the most?“Myra, we need to talk, you need to tell me everything and I mean everything don’t leave a single detail out” lawyer Benson warned.“Everything that happened that night?” She asked “Everything about Cody Whyte, including what happened that night” Lawyer Benson explained. Myra’s mind began to wander. You think you know someone, then one day you realize you don’t know them at all. After all the things Cody had done she couldn’t tell what was real and what was not anymore.“I don’t know anything about Cody, I don’t know Cody” Myra mumbled.“What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean you don’t know him?” Lawyer Benson was beginning to get frustrated.“Everything Cody said about himself was a lie, everything, I don’t even know if Cody himself was a real human being… he could be just an entity” Lawyer Benson slammed on the brakes as the car screeched. Myra panicked and La
Nina didn’t think she needed a prosecutor or a court hearing, this whole court procedure was wearing her out. She had already pleased guilty several times, she even turned herself in so why couldn’t they just let it go. The prosecutor stepped into her cell where Nina sat waiting. Nina looked up and saw the young man staring at her, she forced a smile as the young man took a seat. “Hello, I believe…you’re…Mrs. Whyte?” He stuttered.“Nina, you can call me Nina” she responded and looked up at him. “Okay, Nina my name is Jamal and I’m your prosecutor…” “Okay, Mr. Prosecutor my name is Nina and I am guilty” she cut in “we don’t have to do all this just plead with the court to reduce my sentence that’s all I want, you can’t prove my innocence even if I was innocent my husband wouldn’t let you win”“Your husband huh? Your husband died about a few days ago and investigations are still ongoing… he’s no longer the one pressing charges, it’s you against the state and several insurance companie
Nina put everything behind them, Cody was so kind to her that she forgot that he ever cheated. She suggested they had children to which Cody agreed. They both believed it would strengthen their bond, for some reason they had been together for three years yet there were no kids. “Do you think one of us is infertile?” Nina asked one day while Cody was playing chess with her. Cody sighed.“It’s only been three years Nina calm down” he was growing weary of Nina’s impatience. “Do you think we should see a specialist?” Nina asked casually when they were preparing to go out for dinner. It was to commemorate their 4th anniversary. “If that will make you feel okay then why not?”So they booked an appointment and made their way to the hospital. It was at that hospital Cody met Rosa, something about her reminded him of Annalise his first love. Except she was calm, he had to admit he had a thing for brown skinned women, could he be drawn to her because she had the same features as Annalise? He
The bottle crushed right into the wall and cracked into several pieces with wine splashing all over the floor. “What is wrong with you Nina!” “You snuck a girl in here? How low of you!” She accused. “Which girl? You’re embarrassing yourself and me, Nina” Nina stopped and looked around the room, there was no one there. She started frantically searching the room like a maniac. “Show yourself I know you’re in here!” She yelled while still searching she stepped on a glass in the process and hurt herself. Even as she was bleeding she was still yelling for whoever was hiding to come out. Cody carried her in his arms and sat on the bed trying to examine the bruise under her feet. “You hurt yourself, sit still let me dress it up for you” he reached for a first aid box and started to clean up her cuts. “Why did you come here Cody?” She asked after a brief moment of silence.“You didn’t want me working, there are some documents i need to go through and sign, that’s why I snuck in here, I
The couples counseling started off nicely Cody and Nina attended it religiously and especially Cody showed a lot of commitment. Nina felt there was still more to do to save her turbulent marriage.“This marriage is unstable you know why?” She asked Amaya, her best friend who doubled as her PI.“Why?” Amaya said heaping her plate with a lot of puff pastry. “We’re too many in it, his mum, my mum, his sisters… only our fathers stay out of our business” She complained.“So kick them out, simple, what’s so hard about that” Amaya said trying to focus on her lunch.“I can kick my mum out, but what about him? He refuses to grow up” Nina said.“Make him, it shouldn’t be hard Cody obeys you” Amaya enlightened her.“He won’t cut off his family for me, and I won’t ask him to, else he’s going to see me in a very bad light” Nina analyzed.“So what are you going to do?”“I want a normal family like everyone else, where we don’t always talk about business, I want us to be close and be friends do yo
Nina was getting exhausted from work and home duties. No matter how many times the maids came home to do the work, when they left there was always something to do. Cody was of no use, he wouldn’t do his laundry, neither would he do his dishes, moreover she was finding it hard to keep such a mansion in order. She marched to Cody’s study to make a request.“Do you think we should move into a smaller house?” She asked Cody once she got into his study.“What’s wrong with this one?” Cody asked nonchalantly as he flipped through his work documents.“This house is too big, I’m finding it hard to keep it in order” she shared with him. He shrugged.“Nobody asked you to get rid of our maids, now you can appreciate how hard they work” Cody said indifferently.Unbeknownst to Nina, Cody had gone to the rescue of his maidservant’s and taken them to his other house in Witting. He’d go there when he missed their cooking and they were happy to serve him. He wouldn’t complain about Nina’s below average
