Snow Cody walks back in, two hours later after he left, with Biscuit in his hands. I thought he said he was going to take care of something at work. I move forward and gently take Biscuit from him. She licks my face and rests her head on my shoulder while I pat her back and pet her. This raised a lot of questions that needed answers. I give him a look. "I thought you said there was something at work that you were going to take care of." He looks away, not meeting my eyes and sighs. "I lied." "Hm." I hummed. "And Biscuit?" "Kesha was here yesterday while we were getting drunk." I raise my brows but maintain my frown. "She took Biscuit with her to her apartment. The text message I received this morning before I left…was from her. So I went to get Biscuit." "Her reason was?" I question him. "You know how crazy she is, Snow. I don't know why she took Biscuit but I guess it was to piss you off." He explains to me. "There's more to it, Cody. You're not telling me something." I point
Snow "Snow. Please open up. It's me, Sam." I stare at the ceiling, not making any attempt to let her in. Maybe she'll just leave me alone if I don't. "Snow. Don't do this. Don't shut me out. Talk to me. I'm here for you." She keeps knocking on my door. "Snow, I'm not leaving here until you unlock this door. Let me in please." She begs. Scratching sounds on my door follow. Biscuit barks as Sam keeps knocking. I sigh and get up to go and unlock the door.Immediately I open up, Sam pulls me in for a hug. My hands fall beside me, unable to hug her back. I'm just exhausted from crying and thinking all day, and I don't feel like doing anything. Sam takes me to the bed and we both sit. I avoid her gaze and stare at my fingers. "I'm sorry about Cody." "Don't apologise for his mistakes." I reply too quickly and quietly. "I understand that you're angry." "I'm furious Sam. I'm more than angry." I tell her, slightly raising my voice and she sighs. "I don't even know what to say." "It's no
Snow "How did it go?" Cody asks immediately as I enter the living room. "It went well." I reply without meeting his eyes. I attempt to walk away but he doesn't let me. "Talk to me Snow." He says. "About what? I can't trust you anymore." I reply coldly. "Just hear me out." He pleads. "I'm really tired and I want to go to bed so please leave me alone." I state. "You're not even hungry? I made dinner." He offers. "I ate with Andre before coming." "Snow." "Let me pass Cody." He stares down at me as I glare at him. When he doesn't make any move to let me pass, I push past him to walk away to my room. He grabs my hand before I'm able to get away from him and pulls me into him. "What are you doing?" I ask him. "Lee and I are the only ones that know about your amnesia and the accident that brought about that." He starts. "So?" "Has anything happened to you since we knew about that?" His hold on my arm tightens and I wince. "Kylie." "What about her?" I raise a brow at him. "She'
Cody "Mr. Harrison, we'll have to discuss this properly. You do know that we have to get everything prepared before we meet with our client, Mr. Boadi, our Ghanaian client. You must know that he doesn't like to be kept waiting. " "I'm aware of that, Mr. Wells. I'll have it done as soon as possible." "Hello son." Mother interrupts us. "Excuse me Sir." Mr. Harrison says and leaves my office. "What are you doing here mother? Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital right now?" "I'm here because you and I seriously need to talk." She takes a seat in front of me. "What's there to talk about?" I ask bluntly. "If you're here to complain to me, then please don't. I have a lot of work to do. I need you to leave me to work." "I'm very disappointed in you Cody. How can you leave Kesha to be with Snow?" I roll my eyes. "Kesha has all the qualities to be your wife. What more do you want? Snow is not fit to be in a relationship with you and as your mother, I do not approve." "You never act
Cody "I told you I could handle it." Snow says in a weak voice, smiling at me. "You passed out. How was that handled?" I ask her. "I was feeling nauseous and dizzy while I was in there. I guess I'm claustrophobic." She chuckles. "It's alright. You're tired right now. Get some rest. I have to get back to work." "You're leaving me here?" "No. I'm not. This is my personal work space. No one will come here, except Lee, Sam and I." "But you're still leaving me here." She whines. "I have to so that you can rest. The drugs you took earlier will let you sleep like a baby so i have to leave you." "Fine." She pouts. "I'll see you when I wake up." "Sure." I wave at her leave my personal space, making sure to lock the room. It's a room I designed inside my office to look like a mini apartment just with a bedroom, bathroom and living room. I usually stay over when I have a lot of work to complete before the next day. So when I sleep in the office, I actually sleep in a comfortable space.
Snow "Did you see Kesha while you were entering the building?" Detective Parker asked. Cody leans closer to us. "Yes. I was entering with her. Then when we got to the elevator and she saw me, she muttered to herself, loud enough for me to hear, that she isn't riding the same elevator that I will be riding. Then she smirked and walked away." "Did she mention anything else to you?" "No. I didn't want her to bother me and ruin my day. I was coming to see Cody about something." I feel my cheeks heat up as I mention this. I feel ridiculous and slightly embarrassed that I'm blushing in front of the Detective and Cody. Cody winks at me and smirks. "That was not important. What I found weird was that no one was in there with me. When I got to the elevators, and the employees saw me, they just let me ride alone." I turn to Cody. "Did you ask them to do that?" "I didn't ask them to do that. But maybe they were showing you respect or something as my girlfriend." "Maybe, Mr. Wells, maybe."
Snow "Hey Lily. Do not show this message to anyone or let them know about it. I want you to meet me at the bar we last met. I have something to show you." Then I remember the flashdrive he gave me. Now I really want to see him and confront him about it. Thinking about it makes me annoyed. But can I trust James? He fooled me the last time, I don't want to be fooled again. Maybe I should go and listen to what he has to say. Maybe he wants to apologise and will actually show me something that will help me with this tough ongoing case. But what if this is a trap? No. I should stop thinking too much. I doubt this is a trap. Why would James want to trap me? I can go to him with the police as my backup, but my problem is Cody. He'll be so pissed to the extent that he might grow cold towards me. I don't want to risk ruining our relationship. I should go back to bed. I'm sure I'll have a clear mind by the time I wake up. And maybe if I can think of a way to tell Cody and make it seem like a
Snow "Good day Miss Jenkins." Detective Parker greets. "I hope you're feeling better today." "I am. Thanks for asking." I look around for Andre. Like always, he's late again. "Where is Andre?" I ask the Detective. "Andre is with the other batch. He found an old burnt up warehouse where the traffickers used to hide the kidnapped women and children." "He did?" I ask, astonished. "He did. They also found some chemicals in an old stinky lab like you described the other time. My boys in the forensic department had them analysed and we discovered that those are prototypes of the ZIP that was used on you." "That's amazing." I beam. "It is. You were the one who busted them." The Detective continues. I gasp in response. "Andre is indeed the mystery solver. He was able to find clues that proved you were there. We checked our records to see if anything happened on that day and we found something. You anonymously tipped us while you were being chased by two traffickers. We came in but we di
