Must Read: Cyber lover - Season 1 - Episode 57

“No.” “What happened?” asked Inspector
Bromsbey. “I mean, can you explain what led
to the two breakups?” And Brenda carefully
mapped out what had happened between her
and her two dead ex-lovers to the officers.

Surprisingly, it didn‟t hurt her like it used to
whenever she talked about it. Perhaps it was
because they were no more. “What did you do
after both breakups,” asked Inspector Jack,
already feeling sorry for poor Brenda. She
must have really loved her ex-lovers and that
was a good motive for murder. “I didn‟t do
anything. I tried my best to win back Derek‟s
love but all my efforts were fruitless.” “When
last did you see either of them?” “I have not
set my eyes on either of them for a long time
now. I avoided them, but information about
them kept coming to me. I was aware that
Benjamin left Lupe to relocate to Cape City,
and I was also aware that Derek got promoted
after his training.” “How do you feel knowing
that your two ex-lovers died mysteriously in
two days?” Bromsbey wanted to know. “God!
It‟s shocking, inspector! It is very…traumatic.

I have been disturbed all day, especially since
I heard the news about Derek this morning.

They were people I loved, you know? Good
memories never go away that easily. Do you
know I just got a new job? And instead of
celebrating my new job, I am here grieving
over my dead ex-lovers!” Inspector Jack
believed her. Perhaps this was just a
coincidence. “Are you dating anyone at
present?” “I am not dating anyone at the
moment. Although someone is showing
interest in me, I am hoping it works out.” She
remembered Cain. Was Cain her lover? Their
nightly s-x sessions have…

“Are you trying to tell me that you have not
dated anyone since you broke up with Derek?”
Inspector Jack was asking her, quick enough
to notice the sudden change in her
disposition. “I am sorry, inspector; you are not
here to ask about my personal life, are you? I
have noted that you have barely asked me
what I know about the deceased.” “Yes, Miss
Davis. And I‟m sorry for the way this interview
is going.

However, for now, you are the only one
connected to the two dead men, both of them
having hurt you in the past. You are of
serious interest to us and I will be grateful if
you can let me know more about your
personal life.” After a brief silence Brenda
said, “I just got off another heartbreak some
weeks ago. I have been dating Adam since I
broke up with Derek, and all of a sudden, he
didn‟t want me again. I am confused, officer;
do you think something about me is killing
them?” Surprisingly, Inspector Jack felt a
sudden urge to hold and protect her like he
would do to a daughter, but he told himself
that he must not allow sympathy to becloud
his judgment. He looked at his fellow
policemen, who had decided to remain silent
while he questioned her. The session was
getting interesting. There could be something
about Miss Davis, which was making these
men to leave her. “Can you tell me what
happened between you and Adam? I am really
sorry for prying into your private life, Miss
Davis.” “It is okay, I understand.”
Again she briefly told him about Adam, and
then a little about Michael. “Men can be
strange, Miss Davis,” suddenly said Bromsbey.
“I just think you have been meeting the wrong
set of men. Trust me; there are nice guys out
there.” Just like his Nigerian colleague, he
was thinking hard; three heartbreaks, and two
deaths? “Can we please have Adam‟s
address?”
“I promise you, inspector, I don‟t know about
these deaths. They have nothing to do with
me, so stop looking at the wrong place,
please. Investigating me is just a waste of
time. I will give you his address, but please if
you see him, help me find out why he actually
left me; I really need to know.” She stood up,
entered the room and came out with a piece of
paper. She handed it to Inspector Jack. So far
and from the appearance of the pallor, there
was nothing in the house suggesting she was
involved in anything diabolic. “You don‟t stay
here alone, do you?” Jack asked as he stood
up and motioned to the others to follow suit.

“No, I stay here with a friend; she is not yet
back from work.” “Where does she work?”
Brenda knew they also intended to interview
Jane. “Her name is Jane and she works with
Wintel Trust Bank here in Lupe.” “Thank you
for your cooperation, Miss Davis.
We will get back to you if the need arises,”
said Inspector Jack. They were already at the
door. He planned to go straight to Adam‟s
house from there. If Brenda‟s angle was a
dead end, he must make sure he exhausted it
that day so that he could concentrate on
finding new leads. She stood at the door and
watched them drive away. She went back into
the living room and sat down. She couldn‟t
wait for Jane to come back; she needed her
company more than anything right now.

„What
was happening?‟ she thought. Could
something be murdering her ex-boyfriends for
breaking her heart? Alternatively, was all these
just coincidence? She felt really scared and
uncomfortable. She was also confused and
needed to talk to someone now. Michael. Yes,
he was the right person to talk to at this
moment. He had a way of making her feel
okay afterwards. Her cell phone was lying on
the side table and she reached for it. “Hello?”
Michael sounded like he‟d been expecting her
call.

“Michael,” she rushed, “a lot has been
happening and I really need to talk to you.”
“There‟s something I need to tell you, too,
Brenda,” he also began. “Tell…tell me what?”
She sounded confused. “The cops think I‟m in
danger alongside my friends…they think the
recent murders around town were perpetrated
by the escaped convict I told you of, called
Nimrod; the guy I saw breaking into Glen‟s
house?” “Oh my God! What is happening?”
Could Cain be the person after Michael as
well? No. Why was she allowing things to get
at her? Hadn‟t he just mentioned Nimrod, the
escaped convict? “You need to be careful,
Michael; I wouldn‟t want what happened to
Benjamin and Derek happen to you.” “What?
Who are Benjamin and Derek?” Michael asked,
confused. “My former boyfriends. They were
found dead earlier this week and the police
think I have something to do with it. I am just
scared and confused . . . .” Suddenly, the
phone was wrenched from her fingers, crushed
and flung away, and she screeched in terror!
There was no one in the room with her so she
knew exactly what had happened. Cain. “Hi,
my love!” Brenda slipped out of the settee and
drew back to the front door without a word.

She was gripped with fear. “Congratulations
on your new appointment!” “Thank…thank you,
Cain!” “Why were you talking to Michael on
the phone, my dear?” “Nothing, we were just
having a friendly discussion!” “Don‟t lie to me;
you are relaying your fears and concerns to
him. You are falling in love with him. You
should talk to me in times of need and not
him!”
He was beginning to get angry and she had no
clue of what to do in order to quell this
annoyance. “You…you are jealous! Don‟t I
have the right to have male friends anymore?”
The statement was never intended and she
cringed back in fear after it had exploded from
her mouth. This guy could be a murderer, she
thought. She must watch how she talked to
him. “I am the only friend you should trust,
Brenda. It makes me mad when you don‟t
understand this,” Cain‟s voice whispered.

“How can you compare yourself with my
friends? You are not even visible; I don‟t even
know what you are.” “It is not important if I
am visible or not. I love you and that is all
that matters.” “What are you Cain? Who are
you? What do you want from me?” “I am the
best thing that has ever happened to you. I
am your best friend at the moment and not
those humans that can hurt you. I am the only
one that can protect you.” Brenda couldn‟t
believe her ears. She couldn‟t even believe
herself. Had she gone insane? How could she
be conversing with an unknown being and still
feel normal? “Protect me from what?” she
managed to ask. She remembered the deaths
and Michael‟s danger situation. “You sound
like I am in a sort of danger,” she said, not
sure if she should ask him about the deaths
of her ex-boyfriends. “Stop hurting me,
Brenda. Stop making me mad,” Cain said
without answering her questions. “Hurting
you? How?” “By giving your love to another.

Well, hope you had a wonderful experience
during our last meeting?” he asked. Brenda
remained silent, she was just plain scared of
the voice and drew back as it seemed to be
coming towards her. “Brenda, what‟s the
matter?” he asked her. “Please do tell…
please?”
