SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES. Chapter 63 Back To The Future.
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

“I searched everywhere! I looked into every record for something to use as leverage but everything came up squeaky clean! Do you have any idea how boring your life has been up until now?”Rachel glared at Jacob as he paced in front of her saying nothing. It was three months since he showed up in Ermernia, drugged her, bound her, and dragged her out to the middle of nowhere – it wasn’t actually the middle of nowhere she just didn’t know where they were. All she could see from the windows was the ocean. They were on an island. That was all she knew. There were barely any boats and even if there were she could hardly see from the narrow window in her room.She sat on the couch in the very spacious and exquisitely furnished living room. It had the classy expensive things she hadn’t known Jacob could afford. But then again she didn’t know anything about him. She hadn’t known he had been afflicted with a gang and that dating her and their subsequent marriage had been a cover to get himself

Rachel sat in the room aware that outside the door was the guard Jacob had stationed there to keep watch. Keep watch from who?Aside from Mabel and Larry there was no one Rachel could confidently say was looking for her. Oh well, maybe the press would notice she was missing since they hadn’t seen her long enough to stalk her for pictures but she highly doubted that. The way the media worked, if you went under the radar they either (1) Come dig you up from under the radar or (2) Move on to the next hot subject. The way she saw it, in her case they definitely did number 2.She chewed on her fingers thinking that maybe it wasn’t so bad if no one besides her sister and Larry knew she was missing. With all that was going on the last thing she needed was a fanfare. If Jacob knew there was a raucous out there and people were searching for her there was no telling what he would do. Would he go as far as kill her?She was slowly beginning to understand the man she once thought she knew. Her jo

“You won’t tell me anything! What does he want with her?!”Tshepo stared at his friend as he paced the office. In no time Nate would wear a path on the linoleum floor. He knew his friend was agitated but it amused him because he never knew Nate to be an impatient man yet here he was agitated over a woman. He relaxed on the couch musing.Nate shot him a nasty look. “Why the hell are you so relaxed?”“Why shouldn’t I be? I am not the one fighting my demons and worrying about a woman who I chased out of my house with my less-than-pleasant attitude.”Nate stopped pacing to glare at Tshepo again. His heart was racing but his hands were tied, there was nothing he could do especially since he didn’t know what had happened to Rachel. Tshepo who seemed to know a lot would only tell him one thing, ‘Jacob has Rachel.’ And that was it.“You are a little too relaxed,” he accused him.“Because I know Rachel is safe.”“And how do you know that?”“Because it’s classified information.”“What do you me

“Smile,” Jacob ordered. “You want to look sharp and sexy when he arrives.”Rachel fought the urge to roll her eyes. She tried her best to look nonchalant but her heart was beating heavily in her chest. So far there was no sign of Nathaniel and with any luck, he would not arrive tonight. She wasn’t ready to face him. She probably never would be ready to see him for the rest of her life.Yet she couldn’t just leave because Jacob’s hand was a tight band around her waist. It was almost painful the way he held her.He had told her blandly on the way that she was going to meet Nate at the party. The Allen Brothers had gotten him an invitation to Philippe Giovanni’s exclusive party in exchange for the girls he so readily supplied them earlier that day.“What?” she had shrieked, heart beating fast although she wasn’t sure at the time why her heart had responded that way. Was she excited? Or was she disgusted at the thought of meeting him again? To her chagrin, a tiny bit of her wanted to see

Her head came up sharply, pulse already pumping excitedly at the sound of his voice. But in the next breath, her pulse returned to a dull hammer in her vein. Her initial excitement was an involuntary response to seeing him again and hearing his voice but when reason set in all she wanted was for him to go away. She didn’t want to hear what he had to say.“What are you doing here, Nate?” She asked, the weight of his name heavy on her tongue. It felt too familiar…too good. Now many times did she call out his name in the heat of passion during their brief time together?He caught her eyes through the mirror and she was transported back to that day…the day before his ultimate betrayal. The weight of his betrayal made the air heavy and tense.His eyes never left hers but he took a single step forward. She turned around sharply to glare at him. Behind her the tap was running, abandoned.“You have always looked beautiful…you look,” his eyes strayed from her eyes to her body, a look of longin

Nate was in so much pain but he pushed her away from him gently as he collapsed to the floor. His greatest fear was that the gunman would regain consciousness and kill him then kill her too.He reached out to feel the man’s pulse and noted that it was weak but it was still throbbing. He had hit hard enough to almost break the man’s jaw but it was because he had been so worried about Rachel and himself. His life had flashed before his eyes but worse so had her life. He loathe to think of what would have happened if any of the bullets had harmed her.“Go,” he ordered.“No!” She knelt beside him trying to get his jacket off so she could see the damage done to his shoulder. He pushed her off even more firmly. There was so much blood soaking the material now and it was beginning to flow on the floor too.“Go, Rachel!”“He is going to kill you! I am not the target here. He is Jacob’s man and if he sees you’re still alive he is going to finish the job.”“This is the wrong time to worry about

The hospital would not let Nate go. Since he was shot twice, his gun wounds just inches apart, they wanted to keep him under observation.**Rachel sat still beside Jacob trying to quell her trembling hands. She didn’t want him to know how much he terrified her. Yet it was impossible when he sat there cold and solid as a statue. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t even think she could speak if she knew what to say. Fear clogged her throat. How had she never seen this side of him?I will always ask myself this question for as long as I live, she realized. She just could not understand how she had trusted him, how he had deceived her into thinking he was a good guy. She really thought they were alike when she first him. He had been so sweet and loving, oblivious to his past and secrets Rachel didn’t know she was his shield against the federal authorities after him.“They are going to find you. Your man is going to speak,” Rachel said with a false air of bravery, referring to the man

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

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
