CHAPTER 60: NEVER LETTING GO
“Get as much information from her as possible. I’ll double your pay if you can get something I can use.”
“I’ll do my best sir.” the lawyer Mr Khan said.
“Your ‘best’ had better include results that put her in jail.“
“I’m getting into a meeting. I’ll call you back later.” Mr Khan said as Jessica walked into his office.
“Good afternoon, Miss Tracy,” Mr Khan said as he put down his phone. He keyed some commands into it and then set the voice recorder. He locked the phone’s screen and set it aside. Tracy was oblivious to all this as she was taking out the documents she had been told to bring.
“Mr. Khan, when did

“You wouldn’t have to look around like a stranger if you would visit sometimes,” Florence said.“Isn't it ironic that you want me to visit my parents’ house?” Tracy said sarcastically.“We have been over this too many times. They owed me money and I had to pay myself. I would have let you stay if you had not been so stubborn,” Florence said. She did not bear the slightest bit of remorse.“The cremation is next week on Thursday. I will send you the details later today,” Tracy said.“I already told you that will not work. Tracy has to be buried next to your parents in the village. We do not cremate people in our culture,” Florence said.“If she has to be buried, why can’t we bury her in the public cemetery? You are compli

Tracy and Tokodi left soon after the brief conversation with the parents. Tokodi often visited his family who still lived here so he went round showing Tracy all the old spots that had been transformed. Tokodi was driving Tracy’s car and he drove slowly and carefully as the old neighbourhood had poorly maintained roads. Tokodi managed to make Tracy laugh as he reminded her of various escapades they had done in their childhood days. By the time they were driving into the highway, Tracy was in a very pleasant mood.“I thought you had parked your old Subaru somewhere around here,” Tracy asked.“No. I take a taxi when I’m coming here. It is easier than parking on the road and paying someone to protect the car from hoodlums. Plus the roads cause too much damage,” Tokodi said.&ld
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER 63: TRAPPED
A couple of days had passed since Kevin had been abandoned by Rose. He had intended to sleep over at Rose’s old house but the pain in his hand became unbearable. At about midday, he ordered a taxi from an app and then it dropped him off at a nearby hospital. He was treated and his arm was bandaged. He then decided to check himself into a hotel as he thought of his next move. He chose a hotel with ground floor access because his movement was now limited. He had filled in the check in form and his debit card and handed them to the receptionist. She frowned as she tried to use his card.“I’m afraid that the card has been declined due to insufficient funds,” she said.“That’s not possible,” Kevin said. “Try again.” She tried again to no avail.“Let me pay throu

Jessica frantically dialled Richard’s number as soon as she ended the call. She was stammering and fumbling over her words and it took a long time before she passed her message. But when she finally did, Richard dropped all he was doing and prepared a team of his security guards to take action. He then sent for a driver to pick up Jessica from her place of work. The driver brought Jessica to a small house on the outskirts of town. Jessica was starting to panic thinking that Kevin had led her into a trap when she spotted Richard at the door. She walked to him and held his hand and finally let out the flood of tears that was engulfing her. His men got into the house to strategize, while Jessica cried her heart out. Richard comforted her for a while and then he swung into action.“I need you to calm down sweetheart,” He said as he stepped back. Jessica took a few deep breaths and then
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER1: WELCOME HOME?
The sun was beginning to set in the calm and quiet suburb with about 50 houses. Ella stepped out of her taxi to gaze at the lovely sunset on the horizon. She smiled to herself as she realised that she would enjoy this view for years to come. She looked at her beautiful two storey house with pride and walked towards the gate. She was surprised to see curtains already set up on the windows in the upper rooms. She had planned to furnish everything herself but she didn’t mind if Kevin had set things up for her. Besides, she didn’t mind saving some money. Just as she was about to ring the doorbell, a car hooted from behind her. She turned around and was surprised when she noticed that the car was two feet away from her. It seemed to be ready to enter her property. The driver looked at her with suspicion and she walked to his window. He rolled it down and looked her up and down. A beautiful woman who was wearing too much makeup looked at Ella harshly.“Can I help you?” the man asked.“I was

“Why is pretty aunty sad?” Jason asked his father. They watched as the beautiful young lady walked out of the gate. Her pleasant perfume lingered in the air even after she had closed the gate. She had an angelic face and a stunning full figure. If they had met under different circumstances, then Blake would have asked her out on a date.“She lost her way home,” Blake said as he picked up his son and they entered the house. He was beginning to regret buying this house. This was the fourth person who was claiming ownership over the same property. Although his lawyer was sure that the deal was above board, Blake was getting tired of the uninvited visitors.“Will you help her get home?” Jason asked as he hugged his father’s neck.“Sure. I gave her directions. She is on her way there,” Blake said. “Where is aunty Amanda?” he asked. Rose the nanny, came in and took Blake’s coat and briefcase. They were in the lounge and Blake couldn’t see Amanda anywhere.“She went upstairs,” Rose the nann

“I beg your pardon?” Ella asked in surprise.“I think you heard me well. Move in with me,” Blake said.“Why would I move in with you? I don’t understand,” Ella said.“You are a beautiful woman and I do not want to see you suffering,” Blake said as he pushed back a strand of hair from her face. The look in his eyes also said much more than any words could say.“You have no shame. Your wife and son are barely 10 meters away and you are making advances at me? And how exactly do you expect me to move in with a perfect stranger? You must be out of your mind,” Ella said standing up. Blake blocked her path so that she wouldn’t leave. She tried to push past him but he was too strong. She couldn’t help but notice his huge chest, handsome face and his intoxicating cologne. She had to admit that the man had very good taste in clothes as well. Ella took back her seat as she forced her attention back to the matter at hand. She couldn’t believe her mind was straying at a time like this.“Please let

“She is at your gate now sir.” Blake smiled to himself when he heard these words from a caller on the phone.“Alright. Wait until I get there,” Blake said and ended the call. Everything was falling into place. Ella had played into his trap exactly how he wanted it. He had hired someone to follow her all day. He had also made sure that he stayed one step ahead of her in everything she did. He was determined to have her move in with him no matter what the cost. A few minutes after he ended the call, Rose called to ask him if they should let Ella in. He authorised her entry and then he quickly left the office and began the drive home. His mind was racing as he wondered how he was going to pull this off. Ella seemed like a headstrong woman but he knew her independence was the only thing he could leverage against her. He had already put measures in place to make sure that she had no choice but to count on him. Ella was seated on the front porch when Blake got home. The seating area here
