21 // Twisted Hearts
For someone who was used to breaking hearts, this time Logan had his heart served to him on a silver platter, twice in a row. It had been two days since his encounter with MJ at the hospital, and he still could not understand why she hurt him.
It was early on a Saturday morning when he arrived at Sonya’s building, after making an excuse about going to get some clothes to Antonina. He jogged up the stairs since the elevator was still not working. He arrived in front of her door and stood outside, with his fist in mid-air, debating on what to say to MJ.
He did not want to come out as desperate; all he wanted was to know why she hurt him so much; he could not wait for however long she said before finding out the truth. He had seen the hesitation in her eyes when she said those heart-wrecking words, and it haunted him to think that maybe she had no reason at all to hurt him.

The Billionaires Too (#2) 22 // London
MJ and Liam arrived in London after midnight, this time without anyone stopping them on the way. They arrived at MJ's one-floor apartment on a ten floor building that Liam did not even know existed.It was only one huge room with only the bathroom in a separate room. The bottom of the walls was made of cement and painted in dark grey while the top was made of aluminium glass, allowing a better view of the outside world.On one side of the room was a king-sized bed made up with light grey bedcovers and a grey headboard. At the opposite end was what appeared to be a kitchenette with a kitchen island and a sink with a grey surface, and on opposite sides of the kitchen island were grey kitchen units.There was only one three-seater couch sitting carelessly on the side of the room, and a four-seat table at the centre of the room. There were random sports objects scattered around the floor
The Billionaires Too (#2) 23 // Parting Ways
It was past midday and Jorge was seated in his house, thinking about everything that had happened with MJ. After Logan explained what had happened between him and MJ, it made sense why she would run away. Again. It was highly expected of her. He just wished she had warned him and told him where she was going.He was snapped out of his thoughts by constant noise on the stairs. He turned to look back and felt the air being knocked out of his lungs at the sight before him. In front of his eyes, right at the end of the staircase, stood Anita with her luggage. His eyes remained attached on the luggage before they landed on her face, causing her to swallow hard. She gave him a small smile, and placed her bags on the side before she walked up to him.Jorge’s eyes had gotten misty, and he constantly swallowed up the lumps that grew in his throat. A part of him wanted to believe that it was all a prank, but that would
The Billionaires Too (#2) 24 // Pain
Logan thought he was ready to face the world; he thought he was ready to move all from all the pain Carmen and MJ caused him, but the stares he received when he stepped into his office that morning, bought all the pain back.It had only been two days since Antonina took him in and almost a week since the engagement party; he thought people would have forgotten by now, but to no avail. The pitiful looks he received, were too much.He wished he would have listened to Antonina earlier this morning when she pleaded with him to take his time, she was so persistent on him staying at home, but he had had enough of her. Antonina was acting strange lately, she would suddenly lose it and start blurting out strange things or call him Miguel Angel, but then she would wake up not remembering anything later.Logan wanted to return to his place already, but she had gone as far as giving him a spare key to her house.

The Billionaires Too (#2) 25 // Saying Goodbyes
Sasha was not good at goodbyes, she hated goodbyes from the day she had to kiss her parents goodbye for the last time. She hated the fact that she had to say goodbye to her huge family mansion and all the memories she build there with her entire family.What broke her heart the most, was that her family became estranged thereafter and everyone went their own separate ways. Demi was the only person who stuck around, at least the only person she let stick around.However, that had never stopped Sasha from taking risk after risk, endangering both their lives. She was still conflicted about working for MJ Billings, she was even considering running away; but chances were, MJ would find her.

The Billionaires Too (#2) 26 // Conference Call
Today was a big day. The 16th of June 2017 would hold a special memory as it would be remembered as the day MJ Billings took a stand and addressed the world. It was going to be remembered as the day MJ Billings unveiled herself in front of the entire world. Nobody knew who she was, she was a mystery for the past ten years, but after today; everyone would know who she was.Everyone was awaiting this moment.MJ Billings would be going live at 8a.m. South African time and 7a.m. London time. Nevertheless, everyone was waiting for her despite the time differences.Alastair Cooper and the staff members of Billings Corporations’ main branch in London were at the office, settled down in front of the large flat screen TV, while waiting for MJ to go live.“What do you think she’s going to say?” Mahalia asked Alastair, while biting on her finge
The Billionaires Too (#2) 27 // Conference Call Too
Logan and Natalia were seated in his office, with his laptop on while waiting for the conference to start.The time was reading 07:50a.m. South African time and there was only ten minutes left before the conference call. “Why are you suddenly interested in MJ Billings?” Natalia asked Logan while sitting at the edge of his desk, but Logan just gave her a quick glance and kept quiet, turning his attention back to his laptop screen.Natalia did not understand why Logan was keeping tabs on what MJ did. From what she knew, Logan refused to talk about her over the years. He had only spoken about her once, but after that, he had been quite closed off on the topic. MJ Billings was a no-go area and once touched; his mood would darken immensely.The ten minutes ran out at lightning speed, and then 07:59 slowly turned to 8:00. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.” MJ’s v

The rest of the day passed by, and it was almost time to knock off when Sonya decided to go up to Logan's office. Logan and Sonya never crossed paths all day. He would send Natalia if he had any work he wanted to give to Sonya.Sonya on the other hand, was stuck in her office all day, she had even forgotten about food, until Jorge brought her lunch, which she had barely touched.She picked up the files she was working on and headed to Natalia’s desk, but stopped halfway there. Natalia seemed to be working under pressure; taking phone calls, working on files, attending to clients, making copies and everything else for some of her colleagues.Natalia spotted Sonya turning around and called her over. “Sonya, I’m so sorry; I can’t take your files to Mr Parker. I’m so stressed out, I feel like I’m going crazy, the agency hasn’t replied and Mosetsana&rsquo
The Billionaires Too (#2) 29 // Bank Robbery
27 June, 2017Had it not been for the phone call she received after she left Logan Parker at the harbour, perhaps she would have had the courage to face him the following day, but the more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that she wouldn't have mustered it. She had skeletons, and so did everybody else, but they wouldn't compare to hers. She had closets and closets full of skeletons which were bound to destroy any little relationship she thought she had with Logan.It had been almost two weeks since she left Cape Town, and she knew that she could not hide forever, especially after Samantha's scandal. The board had called for an urgent board meeting concerning her 'lack' of commitment, and it was in her hands to stop them from having a "No confidence" vote on her, although they would not have succeeded because no matter what; her shares, Jorge's shares and Alastair Cooper's share outnumbered the rest of the
