Eileen got her rifle ready and slipped out of the house without anyone’s notice. The problem was that she wasn’t too smart for Benjy. He had already seen her and followed her. Eileen fired at the door when she got to B.T’s place, she started to fire more shots when she stepped in. B.T who had heard the gunshots from outside stood behind the bedroom door waiting for his chance. Immediately she opened the bedroom door he fired at her but intentionally fired at her arm, so as to not kill her.“You’re one stupid girl” he whispered in her ear and carried her away. When Benjy got to the scene, they had already left. He had very limited time to find his boss before things got out of hand. Meanwhile Cody and Nina sat enjoying the jazz band at the concert. Every now and then they’d steal glances at each other. Nina would look away shyly, Cody would chuckle at her girlish behavior. This went on for a while until Cody stared into her eyes and said;“So when are you not going to be tired anym
Dylan, his two brothers and dad sat around a dining table in a solemn mood. “Thank you all for coming, I didn’t expect it.. well you’re here now and that’s all that matters” There was awkward silence again. Then Dylan cleared his throat.“I was so mad at you when mom died, I blamed you, I said if you were around momWouldn’t have died. We wouldn’t have had to go stay with our uncle, it was messed up. We were always broke, we were always hungry” Dylan said with tears in his eyes. The room was dead silent. Mr. Walsh he heaved with his head bowed. He didn’t know how to explain to his three sons that he really did love them and that he also wished he could’ve done better. “I’m sorry, I wanted us to be together always, but the man in me… how could I face you when I couldn’t make enough to put food on your table, I wanted to prove I was a man that could care for my family I was working about 4 jobs, we had debt to pay, your mum was sick we had to pay the hospital bills too, spending ti
Cody snatched the phone from Benjy while he drove speedily down the streets.“Look B.T or whatever you call yourself, we could do this the easy way or we could do this the hard way, just say what you want, we’ll give it, just leave the girl alone”“What the hell, just tell this stupid bitch to leave me alone or else I’ll kill her, she came at me first” came B.T’s reply.“If you don’t want her then where the hell is she?” Cody yelled.“Go to the woods in Mantong, I hope you find her before the wolves do” B.T replied.“Damn!” Cody yelled and sped up. When they found Eileen she was almost unconscious under a pine tree, the bandage on her hand was blood soaked. “Cody!” She mumbled with all the strength left within her. “How did you get here? What happened?” He asked picking her up. Benjy stopped him and took her away from him.“We have to get to the hospital real quick!” He yelled but Cody shook his head. “If we go to the hospital how are you going to explain to them? How did end up
As they stood by a lemonade stand and ordered some lemonade she kept staring at him. Anytime their eyes met she faked a smile. Dylan was beginning to feel uneasy. “Is everything okay?” He asked.“I was wondering, have you ever had a girlfriend?” She asked and Dylan nodded.“Yeah, I dated once” “Once? What happened”“It was after high school then I was still stupid, I told her I wanted to be a stay at home husband and she wasn’t happy, she took it seriously and left me” he laughed.Nina stared at him, so that was it. He wanted financial security that’s why he was acting so in love with her. She thought to herself. “So do you still want to be a house husband?” She asked. Dylan shook his head“I don’t” When they both got their lemonade they drank in silence with Dylan wondering what was wrong with Nina, while Nina wondered if Dylan was a leech. Yet while she wondered about it a part of her still loved him and believed he would be good to her. She needed someone to explain to her wha
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’
