Like Sunshine And Rain

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

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

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

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

Annalise shook her head. “No Cody, you hurt me first” “You exchanged me for money” he retorted.“What the hell are you talking about? It was you Cody, you think I’d have ever approached you if I knew you were a breed of those rich spoilt kids” Annalise yelled.“Then why did you accept money to go abroad and leave me?” He questioned.“I don’t get you, you asked your mum to come see me and get to know each other better right?” Annalise tried to remind him.“No I didn’t” Cody answered.“Have you forgotten? Your mum started calling me out to meet her and I did. Later she said, you’d be happy if I started out on a clean slate, so she offered me a scholarship to go study abroad and so I could have a better future, then one and half years into my studies you got married, how could you do that to me, we were chatting day and night and you didn’t even have the decency…” “What on earth are you talking about? I never asked my mum to see you, how come you never told me she came to see you? Cody
