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 MonteRelated chapters

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

It still felt surreal. She found out that the father she had known all her life was not her real father, only to find out that her biological father was a bumptious ass who only cared about what the world thought of him.Her best friend who turned out to be a real sister also turned her back against her. She would have loved to believe that her father had turned her against her, but Courtney had always been rebellious, if she wanted to fix things with Shannon, she would have done so a long time ago; but that was not happening anytime soon, it probably will never ever happen again, especially after finding out that Courtney was pregnant, and again she had to find out from one of her other friends.

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

If there was one thing that Samantha Grayson hated more that being provoked, it was name-calling; being called a psycho, people referring her as a sick, twisted person.She was excited about the possibility of meeting the daredevil known as Sasha's Van der Merwe before, but now, all she could think about was how she was going to put an end to her.She could not help herself when she saw that article, it drove her up the wall. Demi had better get her sister to remove that article before the police look into possibility of her allegations. She's lucky I don't know where she is. Samantha thought cunningly as she relaxed in the bathtub. She was still waiting to hear from Caroline's husband to deliver. Considering how leisurely he was taking this matter, it would appear that he did not care much what happened to his wife, perhaps he was dying to punish her for cheating on him and getting impregnated by another man.

What was the definition of hell? Was it a place, a person, or was it reliving the same nightmare over and over again?

She barely made it out the front door when a loud scream pierced through the night like a wounded beast on a full moon, pained, angry, and desperate.Her feet were like jelly as she leaned on the door, gathering her breath as her chest rose up and down laggardly. She stood up straight and exhaled, switching on her phone before striding to her car, where two of Logan's guards were standing."Will you be able to drive home by yourself, Miss?" One of them asked.MJ gave him a small smile. "I'll manage, thank you," she said, accepting her car keys from the second guard. "Drive safely, Miss," He said with a slight bow before they both walked away.MJ got into the car and released a deep breath, leaning back in her seat. Her phone vibrated on her lap, but she ignored it.She could not believe she confessed all that to him without falling apart, especially when that was the first time she ever shared her experience out loud with another person in years, not even her therapist.

That was what she was, she was pathetic. Whatever made her think she could trust him again?MJ was embarrassed to say the least. Her mind was replaying Kyle's face like a broken record. He saw it, he realised where Logan was going and he was relieved when she asked him to stop the car on the side.She had also started to recognize the road signs and side buildings from the time she went to see Shannon, and she realised where they were headed. Or in particular, where Logan was speeding off to.He was going to see her, he was going to Lola's house.She did not want to jump to conclusions, but she could not help feeling like he was making a fool out of her again. She could not understand when she became so insecure, a part of her wanted to go home and forget this happened, but the bigger part of her wanted to know what he was going to do there.She hailed a cab and hopped in."Where to, Miss?"

She was amazed at how she managed to stay calm throughout all these months, considering what a mess she was. Last night was the ultimate straw, everything Samantha had said was as if she was reading straight from Jorge's diary, except, he never had one.Sonya had dedicated all her life to him, she gave him everything even when she had nothing. For the first time in years, she was not ashamed to admit that she hoped marrying Jorge would save her from her pending poverty, even though she never loved him because of his wealth before. If anything, it was the only thing she hated about him since they met back in highschool because he attracted crowds, and especially, women. He had quite a streak when she met him, he was a badboy as many would put it, a heartbreaker, someone who slept around and toyed with girls' hearts. It was an instant turn off for Sonya, he chased after her for months while she continued giving him the cold shoulder, until eventually, he charmed his way to her heart, a

Kyle Davids paced back and forth as he waited for the nurse to report back on Jorge. There was no way he could have been discharged, MJ would have told them.And there was no way Jorge could have suddenly risen to his feet and run for the hills, Sasha was losing her mind.He thought they were over this whole story about her father, but clearly not, and Logan had given her yet another reason to keep looking.Jorge was a jerk, that was true, but he was not that devious.Kyle's eyes shot up when he saw the nurse returning with company - the doctor, a few residents, and another nurse."Doctor, is everything okay? Did something happen to Jorge?" He asked.Why had he not thought of that before? For all he knew, Jorge was in the morgue. The man was probably dead."Are you a family member?" The head doctor asked.Not really. Kyle wanted to say, but he thought against it. "Yes, Doctor, he is my brother-in-law. I'm engaged to his sister," he said instead, laughing internally at his blunt lie."

Cameron Parker had not expected to see Sonya Smith anytime soon that morning, but his bad cooking was all it took for her to finally leave the comforts of her room that morning after he had left a tray of food at her door. It could not have been more than fifteen minutes before she came down with the tray in hand and placed it on the kitchen counter.For Cameron, it was as if he was seeing her for the first time, her lean and slender body was adorned in a gray silky pair of pajamas, her shiny black hair laid down, and her flawless skin radiated even more when she gave him a faint smile,“Your cooking is terrible,” she had said in a soft voice, nodding at the untouched tray of food.He flashed her with a smile. “Oh, well, I guess I am lucky to be standing under the same kitchen with the greatest chef.” Sonya blushed, and he laughed. “You are always welcome to prepare something else,” he suggested.She shook her head. “I’d rather not. I’m not hungry.”“How are you feeling? Everyone’s be

Samantha was never a conscious sleeper. Which was ironic because she always slept so peacefully, not even bothered by the ghosts of the people she killed.She loved mornings too. Her days always started on such a great note. She had had such a beautiful dream, it left her beyond elated. She did not want to shift from the position she had assumed on the bed, she laid on her stomach with one knee in an angle as she replayed the dream in her head over and over again. It was a warm summer day, the sun felt soft and warm under her feet. There were flower petals everywhere, and she was adorned in a white dress that covered her feet and swept behind her as she walked down the aisle leading to where Jorge was standing next to a priest at the pedestal. If felt like she was in a fairytale, her Prince Charming was finally hers and he looked as handsome as ever in a black tuxedo, and he was wearing a huge smile as he watched her, tears glimmering in his eyes.Everything was perfect and even be
