Monica

Brandon's mother: Is there any luck?
Monica: My father hired a private investigator
Brandon's mother: Do you think that he is still alive?
Monica: I have hope, mother I know this is the hopeless situation but deep down I am able to feel that he is still alive
Brandon's mother: I don't know what to believe in Monica, it's been a month now and he hasn't come home
Monica: He will come, they will find him and he will come home for us
Brandon's mother: Thanks for having believe. And thanks again for being there for me Monica, you are one good-hearted child, I am afraid that Brandon couldn't see that
Monica: Talking about it, I am here to let you know that I am getting married
Brandon's mother: Oh wow
Monica: I know you might feel like its a wrong thing to do ever since your son went missing
Brandon's mother: You think it's good, you are carrying his child...the father of your child is missing Monica
Monica: I am already feeling bad about it but you should know that he didn't care about me and his child, he cared about sleeping around while I needed him the most. Where were you when he denies me in the presence of his girlfriend. Mother, I am living my life and I don't mean to disrespect you but I have found a man and he is going to take care of his child ever since he failed us in the beginning
Brandon's mother: It's okay Monica, just do what you think it's right for you, you and him were no longer together and that can't be changed. You have all my blessings
Monica: Thank you for understanding
Brandon's mother: Carry on with the good heart you are having, even your in-laws love and respect them
Monica: Thank you, mother, I will bear that in my mind. So the wedding will take place in two weeks time
Brandon's mother: Why does it sound like you are in a rush?
Monica: We want to make things official before my due
Brandon's mother: Oh okay
Monica: Yes so his uncle's will be here during the week for lobola, I don't know which day but I will tell you
Brandon's mother: All the best
Monica: That's what I needed
Brandon's mother: Now that Brandon is no longer around please don't hesitate to come here, it is still your home
Monica: I will do, we will visit you at weekends, I mean like me and your grandson
Brandon's mother: It will be a pleasure to have you guys around

Clara

Lucas: Babe are you okay? you have been distant to me recently
Clara: Yes I am okay, I am sorry I didn't note that I kept my distance to you
Lucas: What is bugging you?
Clara: I am failing to make peace with the fact that Brandon might be no more
Lucas: Here we go again, how long are we going to go through this
Clara:  I am trying to understand okay!! This whole thing doesn't make sense, how could a taxi start a fire just like that, they don't know the cost of it
Lucas: It doesn't have to make sense, who are you to understand?
Clara: Your words are cold and heartless
Lucas: Because I believe he deserves it, nobody mess with what's mine and gets away with it
Clara: Where is all this coming from?
Lucas: Nowhere, never mind me, forget I said that
Clara: Do you have something to do with his disappearance?
Lucas: I don't know what you are talking about
Clara: Lucas!!
Lucas: What!! Well you can't blame me, I mean like I am jealous ever since you seem to be too in love with him
Clara: You did something to him right?
Lucas: They said he was involved in an accident so where do I fit?
Clara: You mentioned him when I saw you for the first day
Lucas: I know
Clara: How did you know that I was involved with him?
Lucas: I did my research

The fact that Clara can't get enough of his ex pisses me off. I am tired of pretending but now it's getting to me. It is time I play a little hard to show her what I am made of. I took a journey to my apartment. On a journey, I received a phone call from Erick as he was saying he came to drop the urn. I speed up the car to get to the apartment.

Erick: I didn't know that you went out
Lucas: I just needed some air
Erick: These are his ashes
Lucas: Finally, now I can rest peacefully
Erick: So what are you going to do with the guy that he was fighting with?
Lucas: He never contacted her ever since that day until a few days ago when he makes it clear to her that he is no longer interested besides that Clara is not attached so I got nothing to lose
Erick: Okay, I hope you are sure because your girl she's wild
Lucas: I noted how she will try to flirt with you
Erick: Oh umh yeah
Lucas: Just breath you are not in trouble
Erick: That's a relief, I think we are done here
Lucas: Are you not settling for whiskey
Erick: I can't say no to it
Lucas: (I went to the fetch the whiskey and two glasses on the kitchen counter) Erick I need the pictures of Brandon before he died and again I need the pictures if his lifeless body
Erick: Errr, I am not sure if they have been taken but I will find them for you
Lucas: Just hold it there, what do you mean you are not sure that they are been taken?
Erick: I will check with the team
Lucas: I hope you will deliver what I request because I need them. Besides that how are you going to prove that
Erick: I got it, sir, I will email you the pictures
Lucas: Good, I will send you the Email
Erick: Okay sir
Lucas: Cheers to his death
Erick: Cheers
