SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 56 Sold For A Night.
Nate didn’t know what to make of Tshepo’s disposition toward him. There was a change in his friend that hadn't been there before he was taken away a few months ago. Even when Nate went to hug him to welcome him, glad that there was a ray of hope in his otherwise gloomy day, Tshepo’s response was a cold smile, his eyes, once sparkling brown with happiness were cold and distant. Nate had been happy and refreshed to see his best friend, especially after learning what happened to his mother yet here he was feeling as if his friend returned as a shell of his usual self.Tshepo threw a passing glance Anele’s way and that was the only time he smiled.“You have a girlfriend?”Nate didn’t know what to say. She wasn’t his girlfriend but he liked her. He was at a loss for words but Anele raised her hand to Tshepo for a handshake and then with a kiss pressed on Nate’s cheek she went away to the kitchen.Tshepo would not speak as they made their way to the room. Nate helped him with his bag and wa

Hot sobs choked Nate's throat as he struggled against Johnson’s stronghold. The man was a lot stronger than he looked.He felt his arms grow weak, he was still trying to hold on to the door frame to escape and his fingers were getting weak and bloodied because he was holding on so tight.“Fight!” Tshepo’s words came back to him.So this is what he meant when he said that? Nate thought. His heart broke for his friend. He had been gone for months and this was what he had to go through? How many times? he wondered.Suddenly, the adrenaline coursing through him made him unhook his fingers from the door and reach back to fight Johnson. Johnson’s loose body rippled as he held on to Nate with all his strength.“Stupid boy stay still! I paid a lot for you.”Nate growled and fought like a wild cat. He would not go down easily. Suddenly he lost his footing and Johnson caught hold of his feet and dragged him back into the room.“Help me! Help!” Nate cried out but no one came to his rescue even t

Gone was the face of the nice man who stroked his head as he sold him off or the man who had watched the car drive off. The man in front of him was the very image of calm but Nate could feel the anger radiating off him. The first question through Nate’s head was, how did he find me?He tried to recall what happened. He murdered Johnson and left him bleeding in his room, get opened the main door, and was about to escape when…The door opened again and another man walked in. Nate immediately recognized him as the man who had knocked him out. He had only caught a glimpse of him but he would recognize that scar running from the man’s left brow to his mouth anywhere and any time. It was an evil scar that gave him a creepy permanent smile. It all came back to Nate all over again. Fredrick must have asked the man to follow him which meant that Fredrick knew he killed Johnson. As clarity hit him Nate looked back into the cold gray eyes of Fredrick and saw for the first time the truth about th

“How much longer to the sea?” Nate mumbled. His eyelids were heavy. He wanted to lie down on the floor and succumb to sleep but his will and determination would not let him. His spirit fought hard against the weakness of his body.“Hang on, we are almost there,” Tshepo responded. He glanced over his shoulder. The streets were almost empty, the only people about were the drunks and the sex workers. The three friends stuck to the shadows moving as quickly as they could which wasn’t easy since they had to consider Nate’s injuries. And also Anele’s condition.Anele had her hand wrapped tight around Nate’s midsection, his hand clutched hers on his chest so he could lead her and support himself simultaneously as best as he could.They had gotten halfway when Tshepo became aware of the fact that they were being followed.“Fredrick’s men are after us, let’s forget the ocean and find another route.”“No!” Nate’s voice was firm. “We take the ocean and take as many diamonds as we can escape with

The sounds of gunshots continued to tear the night's peace apart. A few Gaborans could hear the gunshots, they knew where they came from, they knew who was behind the violent disturbance but they also knew they couldn’t come out to see what was happening. They feared for their lives.For Nate however, it was different. For the second time that day, he knew true misery, true heartbreak as he watched Anele’s limp body make its descent down under the influence of gravity. His screams stopped, he couldn’t make a single sound but watched helplessly as her body made a slow-motion descent down the cliff and toward him.When his back hit the water he sank deep into the cold arms of the ocean and Anele’s body fell after his. He reached a hand up to grab her but the water pulled him further down, away from the one girl he ever loved as much as he loved his mother.The guards came to the edge of the cliff and looked into the water. There was no way Nate and Tshepo should have survived the rocks,

It was hours until Nate was able to control his tears but even then he was shaking, trembling like a leaf in a storm. Tshepo’s hand still held his face away from the horrendous sight of the sharks now dispersing but the image would always remain in his heart.He couldn’t bury his mother. He couldn’t bury the first girl he ever loved. She sacrificed her life for him yet…he felt helpless and useless. There was nothing he could do right. He was the son of a nobody, a useless drunk and as fate would have it it seemed he was to follow the path of his father.“We need to go,” Tshepo said softly.Nate wiped his tears, squeezing his reddened swollen eyes shut for a second to gather his courage. He knew they had to leave, it was only a matter of time until Fredrick’s men stopped hanging about on the cliff to get proof that they were dead. As since he and Tshepo were anything but dead he didn’t want to give them the chance to shoot the damning bullet into him.He knew they had to go yet as he g

The real challenge to getting out of the diamond farm was getting past the guards and the explosives. Getting past the guards was partially easy since they could hear their voices so both Nate and Tshepo deduced that they were still hanging around the cliff waiting for any signs of movements that would indicate that they were still alive. They couldn’t rule out the possibility that there might be some guards at the gate.“How do we leave?” Nate whispered fiercely.“The explosives are set off by heavyweight, that’s what one of the workers told me while I was…away. During the day half of the explosives are deactivated where the workers work but at night they are fully activated.”“How does your friend know this?” Nate asked unsure of that information. He would have preferred to climb up the cliff again and fight his way through the guards. That would attract attention but at least it was the fastest way to get to Fredrick’s throat.“He once saw a bird alight on the other half of the act

Their feet were silent against the wetland bordering the small lake. They walked as fast as they could and when they got to dry land they kept to the shadows, running the rest of the way. The night had progressed and now dawn was fast approaching.It was a long run especially since they had to keep their heads down and appear as invisible as possible. Eventually, they got to the street where Fredrick’s house was located. Now the next challenge was getting into the house.They scaled the wall easily. It seemed that the men Fredrick had sent after them were yet to return.“We can’t assume they aren’t inside,” Tshepo warned. “What is the fastest route to Fredrick’s room.”“Come with me,” Nate said. They walked the length of the house, some of the lights were still on but there were no movements inside or signs of anyone alive in fact. It was eerie and the eeriness was only heightened by the boys' mission.They came to a stop beneath a large window, adjacent to it was another window small

SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 80 The End.
It was two days later before they left Gem Hills. Mabel had been lucky enough to sustain only a first-degree burn on her left foot. She had also inhaled a lot of smoke but that had been purged out of her, leaving her with a croaky voice.Nate on the other hand did have a burn on his leg and his skin stung from the heat of the fire but he was lucky to have gotten out with just that much. Especially considering the fact that he was naked at the time of the fire. It could have been worse given that he had been rescued seconds before the roof came crashing down. Rachel supported Nate as they walked to the car with Tom in front. Once again Tom had his proud father smile for Rachel.He assisted her to get Nate into the car and did the same for Mabel. Behind them was James, Nate’s head of security, and two of his colleagues, ready to go with them to the airport.Tshepo had wanted more security men to go with them but Nate had made him see reasons why that would attract more attention than th

“Nate? Can you hear me?”His eyelids fluttered open. His eyes stung and water seeped from the edges.There was an excited gasp beside him. Suddenly soft hands were cradling his face. At first, he couldn’t see but when he blinked rapidly and the blur cleared he saw Rachel’s tear-streaked face. She was crying and laughing.“You are alive,” she laughed, kissing his face and hair and his nose and cheeks. He groaned. His skin burned and his chest felt tight. He remembered coughing up smoke and being dragged out of the fire. He remembered Mabel hanging limp in his hands. But what he worried about the most was Rachel’s safety. His hand, though heavy as lead, came up to cradle her face. She kissed his palm and cried.“Are you okay?” he croaked. “Are you hurt? The baby?"She shook her head violently. “No I am fine, we are fine. You saved me remember?”He remembered pushing her outside the burning house. He opened his mouth to speak again but could only cough some more. Rachel left his side to

And he was going to do his best not to fail.By the time they went to bed, it was late into the night and their efforts at thinking of a means to stop Jacob was futile. There was nothing they could do.Mabel let Nate stay with them. Rachel wouldn’t hear of him sleeping on the couch so she invited him to her room where he lay on the tiny bed with his legs dangling over the edge and his arms around her.“You are such a large man, do you know that?”“In more ways than one,” he joked.Rachel laughed lightly but she was thinking again. “What if Jacob was to take you to court, hard as his kind of story is to believe, he does have that sheet of paper naming him as Fredrick’s heir, what will you do if you lost your wealth?” she asked. “I can’t imagine you living in a place like this where your feet dangled over the edge of the bed.”“I’ll survive. I don’t worry about the money, I only worry about the children. He will cut off all expenses and enslave them in the mines as Fredrick did.”Rachel
SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 77 Luck and Jacob.
It wasn’t the first time in his life he told someone the story of his birth and everything he had been through, but it was the first time he told the story as it was without making himself the victim of circumstances. He told her facts, plain and simple and her face animated what she thought about his story. When he talked about the death of his mother she mourned for her and held him and when he talked about Fredrick selling him off her eyes showed her anger. When he talked about Tshepo, her eyes had widened in surprise. “You know that GHIA man?” she asked in astonishment. “He is like a brother to me.” “Yeah, I got that. You did kind of grow up together in a sense.” she was amused. “No wonder he was so concerned about me. He is very protective of you.” “Vera said the same thing,” he confessed, burying his fingers in the curls of her hair. He enjoyed the feel of her soft body pressed against his. Rachel rose on her elbow to reward him with a questioning glare. “Vera?” “Ah, I see

Rachel was watching him as she spoke and she frowned.“I am ready to tell you everything you need to know. The only reason I could come clean earlier, even after it became obvious that I was falling hard again for another woman was because I was genuinely scared of another Vera situation. I truly was ready to come clean until I came into the study that day and saw that you already saw the videos and emails I kept.”“I was hurt, Nate.”“I know,” he pressed forward and reached for her hand. She wouldn’t let him hold her. He didn’t want to give up just yet. She had every right to be angry but he wanted her back and he was ready to brave through the thorns of her heart to win her back. “I am a bastard for what I did but if there’s one thing I must do right, it’s to make you happy all over again and I cannot forgive myself until I do that.”She bowed her head. “Forgiving you won’t be easy.”“I will keep trying until I die if that’s how long it would take.”She raised shimmering eyes to his
SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 75 Live Without You
Mabel left reluctantly and only then could Nate breathe a sigh of relief. He watched her go into town leaving just him and Rachel. But once she left he didn’t know what to say or do. All he had in mind when he left the heart of the city was to see Rachel and now that he was here what words could he say? Would words be enough?“You keep losing weight. The last time I saw you your suit hung on you and now…at least you shaved this time.”He smiled at her words. “I don’t think I planned my arrival properly then. I would have fattened myself up on the way if I knew you were concerned about my size.”She stared at him, her brown eyes dark in the dying light. There was no smile for him. He didn’t expect her to smile and welcome him with open hands anyway. He wanted to convince himself she was alright, he was here now he could see she was doing good…he should get back into his car and drive off.But he didn’t.“How is your shoulder?” she asked.He raised his brows, surprised that she remember

After every session, he began to open up well enough to let the darkness in his heart go. But with every ounce of darkness that left his heart, a void appeared and he knew what he needed to fill that void.Even though Tshepo had warned him not to see Rachel for fear of putting her in danger again, he couldn’t help but yearn for her over and over again. He still had the problem of Jacob defaming him, and spreading lies about him and his involvement with Rachel. Tshepo advised that it was best they continued to let Jacob believe she was dead so that they could keep doing their investigation in private and when they had enough proof of his illegal activities and his partners in crime they could pull the rug out from under him. It wasn't just enough to destroy Jacob, they had to take his cohorts with him too.Nate understood the importance of letting Tshepo do his job but he felt he would die if he didn’t convince himself of Rachel’s safety so he did what he knew best. He threatened Tshep
SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 73 Seeking Help.
He needed help.He did. He stared at Vera’s head as she bowed her head crying into her hand to muffle her sobs, unable to move. For a long time he could only watch her and when he opened his mouth to speak his voice was a croak.“You really think I need help?”She sniffed and lifted her head to wipe at her eyes. “You do, Nate. I thought about it for a long time and realized I wasn’t fair to you when I left. Our marriage vows were for better or worse and I broke them, leaving you when I could have helped.”“Was I really that terrible?”“You are not a terrible person. What you do for those children in Gabore is more than enough proof of that. You give them hope, you make them smile again, and provide more than they can ever hope for. You are a good person but you do take people who care about you for granted. You perceive us as enemies. For a long time, I thought I could change you, I thought loving you and letting you have your way with me for your pleasure would convince you that I wa
SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 72 The Truth.
It surprised him how easily the media ate up Jacob’s lies. But Nate thought he shouldn’t be surprised at all. It wasn’t the first time the man lied on national television and he seemed so fearless about it too.Tshepo voiced what he was thinking. “If you are thinking Jacob Henderson has friends in high places you are not wrong. Arresting him will be difficult. I have dug through a lot of his messes in the past and that sex trade of his is far more complicated than you and I can ever think about. We are talking Jeffrey Epstein's type of business. He has senators, tycoons, governors even Monarchs in the palm of his hands. He is an underdog with much more power than the man on the seat.”“So you are saying you cannot put a stop to his evil?” Nate asked, annoyed that he already knew Tshepo’s answer.Tshepo shook his head. “Not until I know what his endgame is. There is a bigger picture here, I can’t tell you the details neither can I tell you about my suspicions but keeping you safe is th
