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 yesterdRelated chapters

Liam could not understand how he got here. From being a chauffeur and bodyguard to being an errand boy. At first, he was more than happy to follow MJ's orders in pursuit of gaining her trust again, but this had gone on for too long.He needed excitement in his life, and running after a teenage girl was not his style."Getting bored of the chase already? It was just getting exciting."He did not even bother looking up, he knew that voice really well.It was said that teenagers were troublesome, but this one took things to a whole new level, one would swear she was trained to be a criminal from the first day she could lift her feet.She had a fierce personality, she was rogue, unruly, unpredictable, and overall wild in her pursuit in life. She reminded him so much of MJ. "Aren't you too young to be here?" He asked, taking a sip of his drink.She sighed dreamily. "Mr Chauffeur, I'm Esparanza Monte

She was shaken by the possibility of her sister being dead or being the next victim that she did not pay much attention to the car they were driving. But the moment Caroline Becker walked down those stairs, everything just started to feel wrong, and she wondered what mess she had gotten herself into.There was this indescribable tension during lunch, and the doctor looked uncomfortable. The worst thing was that she could not keep the food for much longer, she threw up a few minutes after eating.Samantha volunteered to go shopping after asking Caroline for a list of food she ate since the beginning of her pregnancy, and Carmen asked to tag along, which Samantha was not thrilled about.They left, and it was just Demi and Caroline left in the house. It was awkward because they had never gotten along, especially after Sasha's affair with the mayor."Something about this doesn't feel right," Demi admitted. "What kind of situation h

Being back at work was by far the best thing that had ever happened to him, he was tired of being stuck at home and treated like he was dying. In fact, he hated the fact that everyday was a reminder that he almost died.He never told anyone about the nightmares, but he was struggling to sleep since he got back from the hospital. He was thrown into a dark hole he hoped to never encounter again, the most dreaded time of his life – his past.There was no one he could talk to, he was getting a divorce, so Sne was not an option; Logan had his own share of baggage, Kyle did not want to trigger him; and MJ was still in the dark about their past, and after the attack she had the other day, Kyle did not want to see her in that state ever again. He felt that it was not his place to reveal their pasts to her, Logan would have to share his experience with her, and Kyle would also share his story with her when he was ready.For now, he needed a distra

She knew the journalist was provocative, vindictive, and spiteful throughout her career, but mostly, she was ambitious. She was driven by her need to break the story first, and she knew which stories would sell, that was what made her the most sought-after journalist. But it was the very same trait that made media companies not want to work with her.MJ had underestimated Sasha-Lee Van der Merwe, it appeared that the woman was resourceful and cunning. The laptop and phone she got for her were in the car, she was even thinking of not giving the items to her.MJ was forced to drive back to Beaufort West, after releasing her hostage from the basement, she was not planning on going back anytime soon since Sasha would be taken good care of. But now she had to rush back to turn off the fire the crazy woman had started. She arrived at the house around 9p.m. and found Sasha pacing around the sitting room. Sasha's face was a mixture of panic and

Logan was taken aback by Kyle's outburst, it appeared that he walked in at a bad time. He ran into Snegugu on the way and he had no doubt in his mind that she had something to do with this.Kyle was seated at his desk, with his hands over his face."Shouldn't you be celebrating?" He asked."Fuck off, Logan," Kyle sniffed.To tell the truth, he had no idea why he was there. Perhaps he was starting to get comfortable again like he did with Antonina Dos Santos. Logan had attachment issues, once you were good to him, he found it difficult to walk away.It was ironic because Kyle was not exactly being friendly with him, but even though it was not voluntarily, he might as well have taken a bullet for him, and Logan saw an opportunity to have a "friend."It was a scary reality, but Logan was afraid of being alone, and spending all that time with Antonina was a reminder of how much he was missing out on. He had never had a fa

Why did she seem to always make the wrong choices?The moment MJ blacked out, she could have easily used her phone to call the cops or anyone who could get her out of here, or she have taken the car keys and escaped, but she did not."What do I do, what do I do?" She paced back and forth while biting her nails.She could not understand why she was still there. She grabbed MJ's phone and dialled the last person she called, there was only one number and it was not saved. Either the woman did not use her phone often or she erased her call log. MJ was in and out of slumber, and that made Sasha freak out.It took forever before there was a knock on the door, and she rushed to get it. To say she was shocked to see who was at the door."You?" She quipped, dumbfounded."I'm not sure I even want to know what you are doing here," Kyle Davids said as he pushed past her. "What happened to her?"Sasha closed

Something did not feel right. He tried to ignore this feeling all day, thinking maybe it was just a stomach bug, but it got worse by the hour.He had made himself comfortable at Jorge's beach house, but each day, he saw less and less of MJ. She came back late into the night and left early in the morning, she was like a man having an affair.Cameron was not the one to follow his gut feeling, but he could not help it this time. Her phone was on voicemail.Things just kept getting worse, and he felt useless for not being able to help with anything. He was torn out of his mind by the sound of a car pulling up outside. He dashed for the door and was relieved to see MJ stepping out of the car, but his relief was wasted as a frown appeared on his face. Why was she sitting in the passenger seat, and what the hell was she doing with Kyle Davids?He could not even bring himself to ask those questions when she walked past him and entered
