It was the morning after Burke had threatened Texas to be out of the studio or else he would burn it down. Texas, after being humiliated by her ex-husband once she had declared her true feelings to him, had decided to put her plan B into swift action. And so she was already at the home of her lover, billionaire businessman and arch rival to Burke, Cyril Dolby. He had proposed marriage to Texas several times over the past year and she had always kept him waiting for she had hoped to have won Burke back. But now that was certain never to happen, Texas realised she had to act fast.
Cyril was no fool. He knew that Texas was just as devious as he was. He’d always felt that Texas was in love with Burke despite her protests about the man. Even when they were younger and Texas was married to Burke but having her secret affair with Cyril, he’d always been quietly jealous and resentful that Texas couldn’t love him the way she loved Burke. For the best part of a year she had been keeping him waiting on an answer to his marriage proposal. Something must have changed for her to suddenly come around to the idea. Perhaps she had learned the truth that Cyril was dying….Or maybe she realised her chances of reconciling with Burke was never going to happen.
Cyril remained silent as he considered what had happened, prompting a jittery Texas to make sure he was still keen on the idea of their union.
Cyril parted lips with Texas but held her firmly in his grip and stared into her eyes.
Texas saw the suspicion in her lover’s eyes. He could see right through her and she didn’t like it. However, she had to remain cool. Marrying Cyril was her only way to get back at Burke. Quickly she pulled herself away from Cyril.
Texas knew instantly that Cyril was on to her. She couldn’t afford to blow this now, not when she was so close to getting it all. Quickly she spun around and embraced her lover.
Whilst Cyril Dolby lived for destroying Burke Simmington, Texas had, as always, mixed feelings towards her ex-husband. Part of her still loved him but another part of her hated him for what he had done – banishing her from their children’s lives for so many years. And for marrying another, younger, woman who was now mistress of Siloli mansion, a house Texas believed belonged to her. At this moment, her anger towards Burke greatly outweighed the love she felt and she was feeling a deep connection with the dastardly Cyril Dolby and his plans to destroy Burke once and for all.
And right there the unholy alliance between the two of them was sealed. With the marriage between Burkes ex-wife and his sworn enemy on the very near horizon, it could only mean trouble…deadly trouble….
