28 // Old Friend
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.She quickly sent a text on her phone and then sauntered her way towards them gracefully, her head held high as her eyes sparkled in triumph. The boy was the first one to spot her, and fear maskRelated chapters

Money talks. That was what made the rounds in the rich and famous world, that you could get anything done with a few zeros. But that was not the case, and Samantha Grayson knew better, secrets were the most valuable thing, and sometimes, no amount of money could buy them off.However, if there was one other thing she knew, it was how to get her way."I'm begging you, please help me! I need to get out of here tonight before he finds me," she sobbed, clutching the helpless woman's arm. "The doctor said he is going to discharge me tomorrow morning, and if that happens..." Her eyes widened in panic as she shook her head. "This time he is going to kill me for real. I don't want to go back to my husband, please help me, please!"The nurse looked torn. "Ms, I can't do that... I could lose my job! What if I discharge you and then something goes wrong?" She said hastily. "Please help me, please. I'll pay if I have to!" Samantha blurted

Playing games in real life was nothing compared to playing on the phone, there was no pause button, no replay, no retries, no extra lives; once you crossed a line, there was no going back. Everything was well-planned, but there was a flaw to her plans, she forgot who she was messing with. At the end of the day, it was not just about her brother, it was also about Sienna, and Sienna was not someone to be provoked. Sienna was the type of person to push back harder when pushed, and that was one of the reasons Javier fell in love with her. Her children meant the world to her, and if anyone put them in danger, she would not hesitate to get rid of them, even if that person happened to be their father. There was no telling what she would do to Brianna for the stunt she pulled, guess she would have to wait and see.MJ Billings sent her house keys sooner than expected, and the very next morning, Brianna found herself waiting outside the monstrous mansion.

It was one thing spending years being a mystery to the world, almost as if you did not exist, merely a myth. But it was a totally different story when you try to understand your own existence and finding answers to your past.Running into David Botha and his makeshift family flipped a switch in her head, and she found herself panicking while trying to remember some details about her life.The one person who could answer her questions was in a coma, but even if he was wide awake and standing in front of her, Jorge would never tell her what she wanted to know.She had already confronted Logan with many truths, this one was not for him, he could never find out. Ironically, she was also in the dark and needed to solve the puzzle around the time she left for London. There was only one other person she was comfortable in discussing that part of her life with, well, the only person who knew everything. The drive to Kyle David's was n

Kyle cussed under his breath. This was the last thing he expected to happen. How was he supposed to explain MJ's presence to Logan?"You are stressing out for nothing, I'll handle Logan," MJ said while strapping up her heels.She stood up and fixed her hair and suit, and then she grabbed her purse and car keys, and walked out, with Kyle in tow.Logan's face changed as soon as he saw her, a huge scowl on his face. "What are you doing here?" He snarled.MJ chortled. "I came to see the results of your reckless behaviour," she retorted."Excuse me?"Kyle felt like disappearing, it was as if the only thing keeping them from tearing each other apart was the gate between them."Logan, are you going to tell the entire world that you are the reason I ended up in hospital?" Kyle decided to finally get involved. "It is bad enough that this accident brought you back into my life, but now you have brought this woman alo

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Caroline Becker asked.It had been over three hours since they abandoned the ambulance somewhere where it would take people over a day to locate, and then they called a cab, and they had been sitting at the guest house Samantha was renting out.Luckily, Demi and Carmen were at Demi's house for the time being, something about not staying at the rental house without her because they did not want to be held liable should anything go wrong."Doctor, you should be nice to me, I am still in possession of your husband's gun, a whole murder weapon. Besides, you should be thanking me, I saved your life. From what I heard, your husband is a monster.""I don't see any difference between you two."Samantha laughed in response, her eyes shining with darkness. "Come on, let's show you to your room, shall we? You need to rest, all this up and down is not good for the baby."She knew the doctor wa

'Tick tock.'She stared at the message for the longest time until her eyes burnt from the bright screen.She thought he would have forgotten about it or changed his mind by now, but now it was clear that Kyle meant business.She did not understand where this sudden change in behaviour was coming from, the sweet Kyle Davids she knew was gone.Sne could not focus at work, she left early and went to her parents' house. She did not even know how she was going to break the news to them; how was she supposed to tell them that she planned to kill someone but almost ended up killing her husband instead?Her mother would have a fit, and her father would probably disown her. She was more scared of her mother, she had always been; she never listened to anything anyone had to say, she reacted quickly and would never admit her mistakes later even after learning the full truth. Her father on the other hand was a lot stricter on th

His life was unexpectedly starting to feel like an episode of 'How To Get Away With Murder'. All the scheming, lying, and pretense.He never thought he would become an accomplice in a premeditated murder. The worst part was that he did not feel bad or guilty about it. He was only anxious because he had to make a deadly move to ensure that everything was put into motion.He actually anticipated seeing his father take his last breath."Son, is everything okay? You look distant."He looked up at his companion, he still could not believe that he had a mother. He spent his entire life listening to his father talking about how she abandoned them. He forgot to mention that his mother was never a part of his life, that he raped his former best friend's wife.It was painful at first when he discovered that he was a result of a sexual assault, he hated himself and abhorred his father from that day."I'm okay, mom," he finally s

Samantha had such a good night sleep, no nightmares or ghosts. The morning was even better, the atmosphere within the hospital walls was dark, aloof faces marching across the halls as if attending a marquee.Her mood brightened when the doctor came to check up on her and tell her that she was being discharged, and she filled the discharge forms happily when the nurse brought them.Every single face she saw that day, looked like death had come knocking in the morning, and she could not help her curiosity. "Why do you look so sad, did something happen?" She asked. The new nurse sighed and took a seat next to Samantha's bed. "One of the nurses, Leah, committed suicide last night," she stammered, tears leaking at the corners of her eyes, but she quickly swatted them away to avoid ruining her makeup."What?" "She was found hanging in the laundry room this morning. I can't believe it, I just saw her yesterd
