Love was brewing between the pair as in the next few weeks they have been glued, seen eating together, at the library, at the sports centre and Samantha got in a cat fight with Shantel over Herny but how long will they keep lying to their hearts? will Zoete stay forever mute?

Samantha was near loving Herny as any girl would be as he was a sweetheart, he knew how to pamper a lady so she had to find a way out before it was too late. Zoete was happy for her sister but somehow sad as she felt Herny was in love with her not Sammy, while Herny was growing tired of hiding.

Herny wanted to reveal his true feelings so when he saw Faith (Zoete) on the stairs, he followed her to a corridor and confessed. " No, you can't be in love with me, you love Sammy and she's happy which makes me glad. Don't take my friend's happiness because of your unclear feelings as the time goes by you'll learn to love her and you guys are perfect for each other" says Zoete looking down hiding her eyes from Herny.

"you do not mean it, look you not even looking me in the eye and deny it. I know you love me, you just afraid of what people will say but I do not care about them, I want to be with a girl I love not be with someone I can live with. I love you, Faith" says Herny. Zoete was touched but she preferred to walk away.

Before she could escape, Herny grabbed hold of her hand, pulling her onto a hug and met her glowing eyes. She had the most amazing killer eyes, so daring and her face was filled up with a smile, so enchanting. This moment let out the passion hidden within, they could not deny it anymore, the love they both share was too much to be tucked away. When she wanted to say something, Herny denied her by putting a finger on her lips, she became quiet.

At that moment Herny moved in for a kiss and what he thought was going to be a small peek exceeded his expectations, for the first time the two told truth through kissing. They did not think of anything, anyone, they just felt at peace, their long passionate kiss was so long that unaware of their surroundings Samantha looking at them with devious eyes full of anger.

"long enough, how could you?", Samantha replied as she was furious at them but unknown to them it was an act as she was overjoyed that finally she was going to stop pretending. The couple remained muted and shocked.

After witnessing the kiss Samantha ran out in fury all the way to the campus gate. Unknown to her she was being hunted, this abrupt decision made it easier for the thugs to catch her unguarded. Zoete also ran off following her little sister, she saw her being kidnapped, she cried out "Sammy". Before security notice the incident, the van was long gone, Tom came rushing out too after receiving a distress call from Samantha's watch but only met the unbelievable scene of Zoete crying.

Zoete blamed herself for her sister abduction, this let her guard down and she cried because maybe if Samantha had been guarded, she could have fought her way out before capture. Tom called everyone back and they all departed to the Mitchell Corp headquarters. Michael had just received the ransom note 'we want a million delivered by your heir, no questions asked, we will be in touch'
