Whitney is grilled by the prosecution but she will find the courage to defend herself and if she manages to come out the other side, she will owe it to Gray and surely offer to help out with the children.
With Whitney seeing just how far Gray is prepared to go to make sure she gets justice, could sparks fly once more?
Unlucky-in-love Whitney is oblivious to what Gray put Chantelle through and she will see no reason not to trust him as he plays the grieving husband.
Could Gray and Whitney end up embarking on a dangerous relationship as she continues to spend more time around the Atkins’ household?
It’s clear Whitney feels a level of responsibility to help look after Chantelle’s children but could this be a sign of something more to come?
