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 closedRelated chapters

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.

Suits & Aces (#3) 46 // Demigod
Demi could not remember the last time she felt so humiliated, she could only imagine what Samantha thought of her, she probably thought Demi was a submissive wife who had nothing to stand on without her husband; which was by bar the honest truth.There was something about Shaka that was commanding, it was difficult to say no to him or go against him. It was funny, because she knew what she was getting herself into when she said ‘I do’, and she never for a second regretted it. As much as Shaka had an authoritative aura, he was always loving and gentle with her, and he allowed her to do as she pleased almost all the time.He always supported her, even against his own family. He never expected her to quit her career and become a housewife like his mother wanted, and he had gone as far as buying her a house so that she could have some privacy and focus on their relationship without his family’s interference.Lately, they hardly saw each other, especially

She was used to it, and until the shootout, she had always closed late, but now she called it a night by 7p.m. and she remained there until 8p.m. before going home.Logan stayed in the car for a while just watching her. He knew it was creepy, but he could not help it. He could not help pondering over the fact that things would have been different had Montana not interfered.

But he went about it the wrong way.He had thought abo

It was so strange finding herself at this location again after everything that went down the last time she was here.She had just finished taking a quick shower when she received a text from Logan, asking her to meet him at the harbour. She could have said no like she has done many times before, but it felt like until she and Logan had talked everything out, there would always be this unresolved tension between them.MJ was still trying to process everything Sasha told her earlier, and she was also concerned about her own health, she was spiralling and she knew it, but she also knew that she could not stop, there was so much do be done in such a short time; but she was not complaining because it was necessary.The place was unexpectedly quiet, she would have imagined that it would be busy, swarming with men loading their goods onto the ships to prepare for their shipments, but instead, it was deserted.Maybe Logan gave them all a night off

Logan plunged out of the water like a whale attacking his prey, and he could not believe what awaited him above water. Everything he had worked for was up in smoke, his yacht and all the boats in line were roaring with flames.Above all, he could not believe that he survived blowing up by a second, if he had not reached MJ on time, they would have been grilled to ashes.MJ came above water, letting out a trembling breath.“MJ, are you okay?” He asked, swimming towards her.He tried to hold her, but she pushed him away and attacked him. “Let me go! You nearly killed me! I knew coming here was not a good idea!” She swam past him, towards the boardwalk.“MJ!” Cameron’s voice was distant as he called for MJ.Everything was a blur, Logan had no idea when Cameron and Kyle got there, but they probably followed him and MJ there. Logan was starstruck, he could not even bring himself to swim to the shore, Kyle had to get him ou

“I think you were set up. Someone wanted you guys here, together, at the same time.”MJ paced back and forth, unable to process her feelings and thoughts as her mind replayed Kyle’s words like a song on repeat.How could this have happened?She could not believe she fell for a trap, what was she hoping to achieve by running out to meet Logan without second thought? She could not help but wonder what would have happened if she had been the only one there, she could have blown up to death because of her impulsive decisions where Logan Parker was involved.MJ had no doubt in her mind that Samantha was involved, but she did not understand how she could have pulled this off alone, she obviously had help. But from who?MJ made a mental note to follow up on how Sasha’s rescue mission went, maybe her sister knew something.She was pulled back to life when she crashed into Logan. “Watch where you are going!” She snapped. She

To say her night was blissful would be a bluff. It only lasted until they had to go back to the house, and Logan happily went to Jorge’s room, but not before reminding her that she had to take him to Samantha the very next morning. He was determined, and that rattled MJ to the core. He had given her a deep kiss before she closed her bedroom door, and she did not miss the brightness in his eyes. She hated the sequence in which these events were happening, she hated the fact that they would be back to square one by this time tomorrow. Logan had said he loved her, and she showered her in kisses until she decided to call it a day. It all felt so familiar, like he had said that a million times before, it felt like it was just yesterday when he last kissed her, like tomorrow would be the same. It was Deja Vu, a familiar road to the old days when she would sneak out to meet Logan at their secret location, or when she would sneak him into the house while Jorge
