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?

05 // Bedtime Stories

How could a person be so heartless? How could someone who was once so sweet be so cruel? Logan wondered, but the warning bells went off in his head; he knew why, it was the same reason he was walking around like a zombie.He did not know what was worse; that she was raped, that she hated him, or the fact that she had no sympathy. Logan knew her too well to know that she would never lower down to his level and comfort him for his loss; MJ Billings was proud, heartless, and unsympathetic – she was cruel, and that was the first thing one saw in her the first time.Logan had known MJ since she was little, after all, he was four when she was born.

He watched her run up the stairs and a second later, he heard the bedroom door slam shut.She was right, she did not invite him, he came because Blair asked him to, but he also did it out of free will.

07 // Problems

"She was admitted at the same hospital as Mr Billings."She sat there for a second, waiting for someone to tell her something else, something that did not need for her to solve.But the prolonged silence killed her hopes. Her mouth suddenly filled with too much saliva, and she felt her stomach twisting and turning strangely, and then she retched. She pushed her chair back and ran past Cameron and Jackson, and barged into the nearest bathroom, immediately falling to her knees and bending over the toilet. Her throat burned as all the contents she just had spewed out through her mouth.She choked and gagged until nothing was left. Her body shivered as if she had not had anything to eat, she felt weak to her bone as she leaned over the basin and rinsed her mouth.She stayed in the room for a minute, thinking about what Jackson just said to her.She could not believe that Samantha Grayson was in the same hospital as Jorge, whoever put her there thought

She did not remember anything from last night, and he did not want to worry her by trying to get her to remember things, it would only make matters worse."I was working till late last night. I missed quite a lot of work when we went London."Her eyes perked up. "Hmm, me too! We should finish up here and leave, there's a lot of paperwork to catch up on." She gulped down her juice and got up. "We can pack some of t
