Marcel’s return has forced Cameron and Bronnie to go into hiding. But will they be safe?
The big bad wolf Marcel is back in town and he wants to see his daughter. Thanks to Palesa’s nosiness Bronnie’s life is now in danger. When she found out that Marcel was Bronnie’s real dad and not Cameron, Palesa called Marcel to tell him she knows where his daughter is.
Happy to hear the news, Marcel told her that his brother-in-law ran off with his daughter after her mother died. Shocked to hear this Palesa suggested they call the police immediately. But Marcel didn’t want to get the police involved, he told her it would be better to deal with this issue peacefully as a family. Palesa then proceeded to give him her address.
Marcel deception
After Palesa contacted Marcel, he quickly made his way to Joburg to fetch Bronnie. But when he arrived he found Eddie who wanted to quiz him before handing over information about where he can find his daughter. Marcel spun a story about Cameron always being a fragile person; he was so hurt when his sister Candice (Bronnie’s mom) died in an accident that he snapped and took the child.
He thinks that Cameron was grieving and kidnapped Bronnie because she was the only connection he had to his sister. But he told the Khumalos that Cameron is not evil, just sick and that’s why he did not involve the police when his daughter went missing. He was scared that Cameron would do something unpredictable if the police were involved.
Although Eddie was a little moved by this story he wanted to hear Cameron’s side of the story before making any decisions. So he called Kila to make sure that Cameron comes home immediately.
Cameron alerted
But Kila, who knows Cameron’s story, warned Cameron that Marcel was in town to reclaim his daughter. Cameron demanded to know how Marcel found out where to find him. Kila then told him that Palesa contacted Marcel and gave him the address to the Khumalos. Kila suggested that Cameron should lie low and he will go and tell the Khumalos the truth about Marcel.
In the meantime, Cameron and Bronnie is hiding out in an empty NFH office on the fourth floor. There are no cameras so nobody will find out they are hiding there. Bronnie is devastated. What will they eat? How will she get to school? Cameron tells her they might have to leave town again and look for a new home. Bronnie is distraught at this prospect.
The truth about Marcel
Back at the Khumalo household, Kila has arrived. He tells them Cameron fetched Bronnie from school and has left work. He admits to Eddie that Cameron ran because he tipped him off about Marcel’s return. He warned him because the Khumalos need to know exactly who Marcel is. Cameron confided in him, he has known that Cameron was not Bronnie’s father for quite some time now. Cameron told him that Marcel abused his wife and hounded her to her death. Marcel is abusive and a danger to Bronnie.
Marcel is not pleased with the developments and wants to go find Bronnie on his own. But Eddie tells him if he does that he will call the police. Marcel is now on lockdown at the Khumalos.
