It is blood and water in this sequel as MJ Billings and Logan Parker battle a common enemy. There's no weapon as deadly as hidden secrets. It is a game of cards in this sequel as everyone uses their best card to stay at the top of their game, bullets and dead bodies are only casualties, the real weapon can never be uncovered - the past should stay in the past, and some secrets to be buried forever even if it means sending some people with them. MJ is hellbent on taking the law into her own hands in order to protect her brother, but she also realises that his safety will come at a price. She is willing to do whatever it takes in order to save Jorge from Samantha's clutches, but there's more to the story than what meets the eye, and MJ would like to keep it that way. Logan knew from the day he met Samantha Grayson that she was trouble ‐ and he wanted nothing more than to get rid of her. After the little scare that landed her in hospital, he thought she had learned her lesson, but her retaliation cost him millions and cost people their lives. His efforts of revenge are further thwarted by MJ, and while trying to resolve their relationship, he can't help but wonder what her true motive is as she goes all out to get rid of Samantha. Despite years of unresolved issues, they agree to put their differences aside to protect their families. They believe the past is the past, and some secrets should remain buried forever- but secrets of the past threaten to tear their newfound alliance apart. The question remains: who exactly is MJ trying to protect- Jorge, or herself?

Suits & Aces (#3) 100 // Burying Secrets
She barely made it out the front door when a loud scream pierced through the night like a wounded beast on a full moon, pained, angry, and desperate.Her feet were like jelly as she leaned on the door, gathering her breath as her chest rose up and down laggardly. She stood up straight and exhaled, switching on her phone before striding to her car, where two of Logan's guards were standing."Will you be able to drive home by yourself, Miss?" One of them asked.MJ gave him a small smile. "I'll manage, thank you," she said, accepting her car keys from the second guard. "Drive safely, Miss," He said with a slight bow before they both walked away.MJ got into the car and released a deep breath, leaning back in her seat. Her phone vibrated on her lap, but she ignored it.She could not believe she confessed all that to him without falling apart, especially when that was the first time she ever shared her experience out loud with another person in years, not even her therapist. She was rel

Suits & Aces (#3) 97 // Love That Burns
That was what she was, she was pathetic. Whatever made her think she could trust him again?MJ was embarrassed to say the least. Her mind was replaying Kyle's face like a broken record. He saw it, he realised where Logan was going and he was relieved when she asked him to stop the car on the side.She had also started to recognize the road signs and side buildings from the time she went to see Shannon, and she realised where they were headed. Or in particular, where Logan was speeding off to.He was going to see her, he was going to Lola's house.She did not want to jump to conclusions, but she could not help feeling like he was making a fool out of her again.

The driver asked. "I don't know the place that well. But just drive straight ahead, I'll direc
Suits & Aces (#3) 96 // Love That Kills
She was amazed at how she managed to stay calm throughout all these months, considering what a mess she was. Last night was the ultimate straw, everything Samantha had said was as if she was reading straight from Jorge's diary, except, he never had one.Sonya had dedicated all her life to him, she gave him everything even when she had nothing. For the first time in years, she was not ashamed to admit that she hoped marrying Jorge would save her from her pending poverty, even though she never loved him because of his wealth before. If anything, it was the only thing she hated about him since they met back in highschool because he attracted crowds, and especially, women. He had quite a streak when she met him, he was a badboy as many would put it, a heartbreaker, someone who slept around and toyed with girls' hearts. It was an instant turn off for Sonya, he chased after her for months while she continued giving him the cold shoulder, until eventually, he charmed his way to her heart, a
Suits & Aces (#3) 95 // Another Problem
Kyle Davids paced back and forth as he waited for the nurse to report back on Jorge. There was no way he could have been discharged, MJ would have told them.And there was no way Jorge could have suddenly risen to his feet and run for the hills, Sasha was losing her mind.He thought they were over this whole story about her father, but clearly not, and Logan had given her yet another reason to keep looking.Jorge was a jerk, that was true, but he was not that devious.Kyle's eyes shot up when he saw the nurse returning with company - the doctor, a few residents, and another nurse."Doctor, is everything okay? Did something happen to Jorge?" He asked.Why had he not thought of that before? For all he knew, Jorge was in the morgue. The man was probably dead."Are you a family member?" The head doctor asked.Not really. Kyle wanted to say, but he thought against it. "Yes, Doctor, he is my brother-in-law. I'm engaged to his sister," he said instead, laughing internally at his blunt lie."
Suits & Aces (#3) 94 // Alibi
Cameron Parker had not expected to see Sonya Smith anytime soon that morning, but his bad cooking was all it took for her to finally leave the comforts of her room that morning after he had left a tray of food at her door. It could not have been more than fifteen minutes before she came down with the tray in hand and placed it on the kitchen counter.For Cameron, it was as if he was seeing her for the first time, her lean and slender body was adorned in a gray silky pair of pajamas, her shiny black hair laid down, and her flawless skin radiated even more when she gave him a faint smile,“Your cooking is terrible,” she had said in a soft voice, nodding at the untouched tray of food.He flashed her with a smile. “Oh, well, I guess I am lucky to be standing under the same kitchen with the greatest chef.” Sonya blushed, and he laughed. “You are always welcome to prepare something else,” he suggested.She shook her head. “I’d rather not. I’m not hungry.”“How are you feeling? Everyone’s be
Suits & Aces (#3) 93 // Unhinged
Samantha was never a conscious sleeper. Which was ironic because she always slept so peacefully, not even bothered by the ghosts of the people she killed.She loved mornings too. Her days always started on such a great note. She had had such a beautiful dream, it left her beyond elated. She did not want to shift from the position she had assumed on the bed, she laid on her stomach with one knee in an angle as she replayed the dream in her head over and over again. It was a warm summer day, the sun felt soft and warm under her feet. There were flower petals everywhere, and she was adorned in a white dress that covered her feet and swept behind her as she walked down the aisle leading to where Jorge was standing next to a priest at the pedestal. If felt like she was in a fairytale, her Prince Charming was finally hers and he looked as handsome as ever in a black tuxedo, and he was wearing a huge smile as he watched her, tears glimmering in his eyes.Everything was perfect and even be
