Nina was exhausted from all the ups and downs throughout the month. She had been seeing both. Cody and Dylan at the same time yet trying so hard to keep it from both of them. She wanted Cody to show her he really meant for them to be a couple again but he was just on and off, all over her today then ghost tomorrow. Her room door burst open and Amaya and Dylan stepped in singing the happy birthday song, Dylan was holding a cupcake with a candle that had number 28 on it. She sat up on the bed smiling from ear to ear.“Happy birthday Nina make a wish!” Dylan said and bent over to bring the cake closer to her. Nina closed her eyes and then blew the candle out. “Now you can have the cake he said and handed it to her” Nina was reluctant have it but Dylan frowned.“It took me days to make this, please have it”“I told you i was on…”“A diet I know… but birthday calories don’t count, right Amaya?”He asked looking up at Amaya who looked away from them. Nina looked away too.“Uhuh, was go
Cody sped angrily through the hood to his house. He was angry at himself for being that careless. When he got in Seth stared at him and immediately knew something was wrong. He went straight to the study and started throwing books around and banging his hands in the wall. Seth just stood there staring at him. He had never seen him that mad before as Cody had always been a well composed person. Seth shook his head and called some maids to tidy up the study. Cody marched upstairs knocking down paintings and vases. He went to the balcony. Minutes later Seth joined him there, with a ceramic cup on a saucer.“Here Mr. Whyte, some chamomile tea” he smiled and offered it to him. Cody took a sip and placed them on the bannister.“Mr. Whyte is anything bothering you?” He enquired.“She said she was on family planning and now she’s pregnant and she’s pretending to be mad at the hospital that put her on the plan”Cody’s answer confused Seth, he thought Nina was pregnant and Cody was mad about i
Cody cleared his throat and got up from his seat.“I’ll go get the doctor now that you’re awake” he said calmly and stepped out. Nina turned to Seth and asked.“What’s wrong with him, he doesn’t seem too happy” Seth looked away from her, he didn’t know how to tell her what was really going on. He felt it was really not his place to tell her.“Is there anything I should know?” She asked again.“Mr. Whyte has been in real messy situation, it looks like someone was after him, he’s just scared” Seth answered. He wasn’t entirely lying Eileen was really after Cody, if Cody hadn’t been smart to turn her against her own people they’d have gone far with it.“Who’s after him?” Nina asked sitting up.“Please I don’t want Cody to know you know about this, it’s work related, could be a rival company but things will be fine, you know Mr. Whyte always solves his problems, please don’t do anything just leave him to take care of it, okay, take care of this pregnancy” Seth said calmly but firmly. He
Nina opened her eyes and was greeted by the rising sun. She slowly sat up on her bed. It was a sunny day but she it felt like there were clouds in her room. The door burst open and Mrs. Story walked in.“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” She asked and sat on her bed “this is the first time you’re waking up this late for work” Nina looked at the time and hopped out of bed, but she was struck by morning sickness and she made a dash for the bathroom. “Is everything alright?” Mrs. Story asked. Nina sighed and went and sat on the potty. Mrs. Story went to stand at the bathroom doorway staring at her in concern.“I’m pregnant mum” she announced.Mrs. Story stood there not knowing how to react.“You’re what?”“I’m pregnant” she said a bit louder.Mrs. Story panicked, Nina wasn’t in good health she had a lot of health problems and wished she’d take her time after her first miscarriage it was barely 5 months since that incident. But that should even be the least of their worries.“Dear, you haven’
Dylan knocked on Amaya’s door. Amaya looked up from her laptop and frowned. Wondering who could be at her house at that time of the day she marched to the door and checked the camera. She was surprised to see Dylan she quickly opened the door for him and he staggered in sobbing like a lost child.“What is wrong with you?” She asked.“Ni… Nina” he sobbed uncontrollably.Amaya pulled him in and closed the door behind him, then helped him sit down. “Now tell me, what did Nina do?” Dylan broke down totally unable to catch his breath.“She’s back with Cody… she’s carrying his child” Amaya stood agape she slowly sat beside him and patted his shoulder. “Such a strange world we live in, these two were together for 5 years and never had any children, now they separate for about 5 months and they’re expecting a baby?” She said and shook her head.“I was still hopeful that she’d choose me but she went back to Cody without looking back”Amaya patted his back. “Cry all you can Didi, after that
When Nina closed from work she didn’t go home, she drove straight to Cody’s office. She walked haggardly to the elevator and punched in his floor number. Nobody bothered to question her as they knew who she was, though she barely ever showed up at the office. When she got to Cody’s office his secretary got up to stop her from budging into the office. “Ma’am I have to inform mr. Whyte before you go in” She stared at her from head to toe, she was a fairly young woman maybe younger than Cody. Her insecurities got the better of her right at that moment.“Since when did you start working here?” She asked.“About three months ago” the lady replied.“Good let me tell you something, you either transfer to another department or I get you fired, understood?” Nina yelled and burst into Cody’s office before the lady could stop her. The door banged shut behind her startling the secretary.Cody was on the phone when Nina burst in. He was surprised to see her.“Let me call you back” he said and h
Eileen sat calmly at the studio trying to compose her thoughts and sing. Louie stared at her angrily as he watched her fumble with the song. He asked the producer to stop the beat then went inside. He took the headphones off her ears and sighed.“Eileen, can you get over your f**king problems and sing the damn song? When you get into the studio you’re not Eileen you’re silver stars… you’re silver stars till you leave the studio” Louie barked.Eileen sat down quietly as tears flowed down her cheeks. She wiped her tears and snatched the headset back. Just then she snapped back to life and started to sing and dance. Louie smiled and returned to his post. After hours of recording Eileen stepped out of the studio and just left not saying a word to anybody.When they got home a delivery was made to their door Eileen happily went to grab the pack and went to the dining table. Louie just stood there staring at her, that was the first time he was seeing her smile the whole day. He walked up to
Benjy tried to push the car but the paramedics arrived on time. Just in time for him to pretend he was trying to help Cody out of the car.“Fuck!” He yelled and pretended to pass out. Mrs. Whyte was trying out her new thread mill when Cara rushed in. “Mum, turn on the tv!” She yelled and run past her to the living room.Mrs. Whyte frowned and gently got off her thread mill and made for the living room. “What the hell’s going on?” She asked when she got there. Cara was in tears and pointing to the t.v.“Cody! Cody was in an accident…” she said in tears.Mrs. Whyte turned to tv and screamed “oh God my baby, oh God my baby!” She run out of the house with Cara tagging after her. Nina stepped into the mansion that she and Cody called home and sniffed the air. She smiled and walked in Rosario saw her from upstairs and the old woman was conflicted as to whether to hide or just go about her business. Since Cody had reinstated them after she sacked them they thought hell would break loose i
