Hours had gone by, a moment of anticipation not missed, her heartbeat in sync with the ticking of the clock on the wall.
She breathed in and out, in and out, her feet parading the room as her mind buzzed. She was trying to stay calm, but her thoughts tormented her.Had she made a mistake by going through with this without thinking it through? She thought, but again she knew she would have never stood her ground if she thought twice."Ah!" She growled, pulling at her hair.Her team watched her, waiting for her to come to a decision. "Brianna, what could be so hard about calling the woman and asking her for day off?" Maritza asked.Brianna took in a deep breath. "Because, Rita, we did not land this job on merit," she said. Javier and Samantha were the reason she was in this mess."So what?" Joey asked, bewildered. "Are we basically her prisoners?"We might as well be, Brianna thought.

Yes, after all these years, she finally got the chance to escape her daily routine and walk from aisle to aisle in an actual store.She wished Shannon and Liam were there, but she doubted they would approve of her recent criminal activities, especially since everything she had gotten was for her hostage.She was preparing to leave when someone knocked at the door. She quickly hid some of the shopping bags and only left the takeaways on the kitchen counter, and then she went to get the door.Who could it be so late? It was past 8p.m., and it was the perfect time for her to drive to Beaufort West without anyone seeing her, especially her neighbours over there."Well, you are starting to make a habit of showing up and leaving unannounced," she muttered and stepped aside for Cameron to entered.He rolled his eyes but entered anyway. "Good evening to you too, MJ," he said and walked over to the couch.
Suits & Aces (#3) 24 // Trouble Too
He should have known that trouble was brewing the moment his sister volunteered to host the dinner she had been trying to avoid for days now.When Danielle asked her mother to host a family dinner last week, Brianna came up with every excuse in the book in order to miss the dinner or make sure that it never happened.

“Dude, are you sure that she came all this way just to threaten you?” He asked. Something about Javier Mendoza’s story did not make sense; he was calling to tell him how his ex suddenly rocked up unannounced and that she was threatening him with his children.“What do you mean? I just told you that she threatened to have my children killed!” Javier snapped into the phone. Aaron rolled his eyes. “Come on, I'm sure she is just bluffing. I mean, from what I've heard, the children mean the world to Sienna. Are you sure that's the only reason you are worried, or is there something else?” There was silence on the other end before Javier spoke again. “I am just heartbroken, I guess. I've been away from Sienna and my kids for years. I know it was my decision to walk away, but it does not make me feel any better, Sienna doesn't even want to see me near them, I don't even have a picture of my son and my daughter.”Javier was hardly eve

Between staying up with Sasha and updating her on the latest and driving back to Cape Town MJ hardly slept, she just woke up and the day had already started, she got home and showered and then drove out into the city. She did not see Cameron that morning.She stopped by Logan's restaurant and caught up on some work, she could not bring herself to eat because she was tired of eating takeaways, she needed a proper home-cooked meal. All she had that morning was a cup of tea and some croissants. She settled her bill and was about to leave when something, or rather, someone caught her attention. Normally, she did not go on her way out to make people uncomfortable, they always came to her, but seeing this trio, she could not help the urge to make a presence known.
