Jorge knew he had messed up. He had sleepless nights thinking about it ever since it had started, but that didn't give Logan the right to discredit their friendship. He loved him like a brother, and he knew it.
He would do anything to protect his friendship with Logan just as much as he would do anything to protect his sister, he just got caught in both situations this time.
He wished things had never gotten this far, he should never have let it get this far. He had been trying to keep MJ and Logan oceans apart, and it had worked for the longest time until now.
There was a lot going on in his life, and he did not know where he stood.
He was still waiting for his girlfriend to get back to him regarding his proposal. He cringed at the thought, that was not exactly a proposal, it was an ambush. Now he wished he could call her and tell her he did not want
The tension in the room was unbearable. The two families that were once united, sat on opposite ends of the table, looks and harsh words thrown from both sides.Kyle could not believe that just a few weeks ago, they were sharing a table and having dinner at his parents' house while going down memory lane and laughing.Slurs and insults were being thrown around, and the longer they stayed, the worse things got.Kyle looked at his watch for the nth time. It was 1p.m., and Jorge was still not here. He threw Sne a worried look, she did not want to be here as much as he did."Maybe I should call Jorge again to check how far he is," she said abruptly and stood up."Yeah, do that," Kyle agreed.S’negugu picked her phone and left the boardroom, but not before sharing an anxious glance with Kyle.
"This had better be good," Javier Mendoza said sternly as he strode into McEnroe Construction Company with Aaron Jr by his side as they headed for the elevator."I wouldn't have called you if it wasn't important," Aaron said begrudgingly.Javier had still not recovered from his ambush, and on top of that, he still had to figure out how to bury twenty-five bodies unnoticed. This was exactly why he never recruited men with families or responsibilities, because if shit got real, nobody would notice.This was what kept him out of prison for the longest time, but he was not so sure anymore, especially after the beautiful stranger. His blood boiled every time he thought of her, especially since his thoughts always drifted off to dangerous places. He could not stop thinking about her, and that alone bothered him.He had been trying to locate her for days, but had no suc
MJ was restless. She had been feeling anxious all day, and she was barely coping without her medication.Even after promising herself that she would never go back to Blair for some time, it was not a surprise when she barged into her house the next day."May Jeanette, everything okay? What are you doing here?" Blair asked as MJ walked past her into her lounge.She dropped her back on the couch and turned to face a shocked Blair. "This is not working!" She said in frustration.Blair quickly closed the door and closed her gown before striding farther into the room. "What is not working, what are you talking about?"MJ's hands were shaking uncontrollably and she was feeling hot. "I need something to help me," she said desperately.Blair shook her head knowingly. "No."She threw her hand
Cape Town was no place short of crime, especially gang shootings. It was such a commodity to hear that someone was shot, to the point where it became a norm. Today it was a little girl playing in her yard, and tomorrow, a young boy walking back from school.Detective Zoe Botha was no longer surprised, she attended to all these calls.However, it was not everyday she got a call where someone she knew had been shot, let alone in their own home.The worst part was finding her young sister at the crime scene, along with the victim's former best friend.How was it possible that someone shot Jorge Billings in his beach house? The worst thing was that he was beaten up before he was shot.Zoe was sure that he was not going to make it.The forensic team was still analysing the crime scene, while the IT specialist was t
Returning to South Africa was the last thing on her radar after so many years, and probably the worst mistake in her entire life. She had no idea what to expect, except for the smug look on her brother's girlfriend's face when she realised that she had her exactly where she wanted her.MJ Billings was not the one to be easily swayed about, but she had her limits and weaknesses, she had secrets that could never get out, and that was where some people got her.She wished they would all ask for money like any opportunistic person out there, but this one was not at all interested in that; she wanted to make MJ's life miserable.The traffic from the airport was quite hectic, but MJ was glad for the delay as she was not ready to face her enemy yet.Her phone blared up, knocking her out of her silent moment. She sighed softly when she read the name on the screen. "You h
David Botha never thought he would find himself in this position ever again, at least not with the one he wanted to be with.Normally, they would both be sleeping at either end of their bed, far away from each other with their backs facing the other person.They never spoke, and every time they tried, it always ended in an argument.They both had commitments outside their marriage, or better yet, they were more commited to their jobs than they were to their marriage; and the only time they ever confronted the issue was out of jealousy or rage, and it led them nowhere.At some point David even suspected that Lola was cheating on him, often she refused to sleep with him and would not even let him touch her, and the few times they slept together, it was just sex, there was no love.He was convinced that she was sleeping with someone else,
To say he was shocked when he walked into his office and found an unexpected guest would be an understatement.“This must be a dream come true, I suppose,” MJ spoke up with her back turned against the young man, her eyes trailing over the tall buildings in the city as she faced out the huge window.It always amazed her, she could never get used to the thrill of being on top, no matter where she was. The power she felt every time she was on the highest floors of a building, every time she stood to see the beauty of a city stretching out into the distance, the enormous buildings, the parks, the waterfalls, the busy streets; it reminded her just how much she contributed to it all, and not just the finance that comes with it, but being part of history and having built a legacy.People could talk and think of her however they like years from now, but it would never rewrite the
How was it possible to be attracted to the same woman he dreamt of destroying?For months now, he was fantasizing about how it would feel the day he would put an end to MJ Billings. Her name irked him, her existence angered him.She was everywhere, every time, everyone was speaking about her, he felt as if she was erasing his footsteps.His one dream was to finally put a face to the name, but he didn't get a closer look at Alastair Cooper's memorial service, nobody did.And then when he met the mysterious woman at his place, he wanted to see her again; she had been stuck on his mind for days now, he could not stop thinking about her and he did not even know where to start looking for her when all he had was a beautiful face without a name.He recalled her words the night she rocked up at his place and he asked her who she was, why
