28 // Fired
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

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
The Billionaires Too (#2) 30 // Letting It All Out
Kyle Davids was devastated. He had not seen his wife since the night of the launch, and his parents were on his case like hungry lawyers. Not to mention the media; he was slightly surprised that his attacker, Sasha, had not yet written anything on him since the article about his affair as well as the retraction article.Having run a full clothing company and brand for over six years, he had never run into a situation as this one, where his clients dump him for big events; it was worse than when he had to send his best designer, Jameson Petersen, away.The Khumalo-Davids Designers was losing a lot of money over their fertility scandals and at this, a lie. Now more than ever, he wished he had not agreed to merge their companies, but it was his parents' and not his.

The Billionaires Too (#2) 31 // Bad Decision
Jorge stared at the plane ticket in his hand in dread as he stood in front of Sonya's door. He had not had a decent conversation with her since he went to confront her about MJ and Logan. They sorted things out that night, followed by a love-making session, after which Jorge snuck out of the hotel, and then from there on, he ignored her calls and texts.Sonya wanted to know where they stood because she would not spend all her life waiting for him to make a decision about where their relationship was going after the whole MJ saga.MJ was his sister, and Sonya was the love of his life; but despite everything that happened, he needed them both in his life. He loved them both and hoped for them to fix whatever tension was brewing between the two of them, but he knew that it was near impossible; MJ had no friends, and even if she did, they were most likely going to walk out of her life.But Sonya would never walk out of their lives; she would never walk
The Billionaires Too (#2) 32 // Aftermath
MJ Billings knew only one real thing about her life. Death. It was nothing she did not know anything about. It followed her everywhere, and sometimes she wondered if she was cursed.She was not scared of death; she was not scared of dying and she was not scared to take a life. It felt normal to her to kill someone, like she had done it since birth. The feeling of calmness and euphoria after taking a life, was not foreign to her; it felt homely, it felt righteous, and not even once has she felt remorse or as much as have a nightmare about her victims.She did not fear death, because death was her companion. But the thought of losing the people close to her, gutted her to the core. She did not remember ever having frozen at the sight of death, it had never hit close to home before.Alastair was not exactly a father figure; he was lost throughout most of his life; but there was a time w
The Billionaires Too (#2) 33 // Frustrations
Lola did not know what was worse. Her younger sister's depression, her husband's disappearance, Logan Parker's ignorance, or Sonya's unnerving calls and voicemails. It felt as if she carried the weight of the earth on her shoulders.Shannon was always locked up in her room, and when Lola got the chance to see her; all Shannon did was ramble on about how she shouldn't have been there. On the other hand, her husband was yet to show up after they called him to inform him about his cousin's accident; and as for the said cousin, she did not want anyone to see her at the hospital, and now her entire family was here, demanding for answers.Then there was Sonya who kept calling in a frenzy.

The Billionaires Too (#2) 34 // Love Lost
She laid her head against the steering wheel and let the silent night comfort her.What was she doing? What was she thinking?Maybe she should not have gone to see Logan. Perhaps it was time to let him go and try to work things out with her husband, hopefully it was not too late to save their marriage.She loved Logan. Perhaps not romantically, but still, she loved him; she was addicted to him in a way that made her choices seem unhealthy. She could not think of the times she spent obsessing over who he dated and whether they were good enough for him; she had done it to almost all the women he had dated. All but MJ Billings.Every time it came to her, it was as if her magical touch lost its powers. Logan did not want to hear anything about MJ, let it be good or bad; she did not understand whether it was from pain or discomfort, or perhaps because he still loved h
The Billionaires Too (#2) 35 // Back To Life
The sun rose and set, stars glistened in the sky and disappeared, and days and nights passed, but she remained limp and unconscious on her bed.Cool air surged around the room as the fan howled heavily on the chair, pointed towards the bed; and a bowl of cold water sat on the headboard.An older African woman with tanned skin sat at the edge of the bed with a wet cloth clutched in her hand as she glazed down at the pale figure lying on the bed.MJ laid unconscious on the bed, with a bandage wrapped around her head. Her chest rose as she breathed steadily. She had been changed into a set of printed pyjamas, and half her body was covered in bed sheets."What if she never wakes up, Sandra?" A panicked voice asked. "It's been two days.""Then we will have two funerals." Sandra Cooper answered without missing a heartbeat, and cold silence se

People were going in and out, and some even banged on the door late at night, disturbing the people's sleep.Thankfully, she would be leaving for New Zealand in two days, bringing the people back their sense of peace. She sighed loudly as she pulled the door wide open and stared at the woman in front of her door with a confused expression."Can I come in?" Lola asked.Sonya lifted her chin, looking defiant. "Why should I let you in?""I had no one else to go to." She sighed and stepped aside. Lola walked in barefoot, her face stained with dry tears.Sonya closed the door and stood against it with her arms crossed. "Do you need some alcohol to numb the pain
