"What happened to sticking to the plan?" Liam Auburn asked as he sat against the headboard, his chest bare and his lower body buried under the sheets. He watched the woman sitting at the dressing table while brushing her hair. Sienna scoffed. “You should just be grateful that I did not rat you out and tell her that you told me this plan beforehand,” she said with her heavy accent. He was still unsettled by how things turned out at the house when he went with MJ to meet Sienna. That was not how he had planned for things to go, however, Sienna sabotaged him. Guess that was what he got for trusting a mobster's ex wife. The truth was that Liam had been walking on wire since MJ's kidnapping and he had been slacking off since then, he felt like he had lost his touch and that he had been disappointing MJ all the time. He had failed to catch a 13-year-old, and when MJ dispatched him to London, he thought this was his chance to redeem himself. All MJ h

"Namhla?" Mosetsana breathed, her eyes bulging out of their sockets as she rose to her feet, using the table to stand straight since her legs were wobbly. She could not believe her eyes, Thuso's ex wife and the mother of his two kids was standing there in the flesh and she heard everything Mosetsana had just confessed. Amandla Namhla Ndabeni looked horrified and then her expression quickly morphed to embarrassment as her cheeks turned a shade darker and her eyes darted to the floor. "I'm sorry," she muttered under her breath, meeting Mosetsana's eyes briefly. "Do you mind taking a walk with me?" Mosetsana could have sworn she saw desperation and panic in the woman's eyes, but she could not be sure. She turned to the ladies for confirmation. Natalia stood up. "I should get to the office, take as much time as you need," she said hastily. "Yeah!" Lola followed. "I'd better go and survey the situation at home. See you guys later." They both left in a h

Misery truly did love company. Lies, deceit, secrets, it was all unworthy without glamour; for no one lived as dangerously as the one with a stacked wallet. The night was nothing short of glamour and glory, or as Aaron would refer to it, grandeur. Aaron McEnroe's party to celebrate his recovery was talk of the town the entire week, the entire world was aware of it, except perhaps for Mr Party. People had shown up in numbers, and Junior felt like he had an entire nation to bear witness to his limitless love for his father. The event organiser that MJ recommended was of great help and she managed to pull off the event at such a short notice. Junior was impressed, Anita Simmons had done a great job, and if this did not scream love, then he would have a hard time convincing the guests tonight. He watched his father standing at the entrance and welcoming the guests. The treatment had done the trick, he looked as strong as an ox and already had big plans for the c
Suits & Aces (#3) 73 // Raising The Stakes
Everything was going according to plan, not only had people shown up in numbers to witness Aaron’s love for his father in a glamorous fashion, the people she had invited were also here. While the masses were having a good time drinking champagne, there were a few faces in the crowd that were very much uncomfortable. MJ was seated across Sandra Cooper at one of the tables. Sitting so close to her made MJ wonder why she was in Ireland because it was clear that she did not know anyone at the party. This was not Sandra's kind of scene, so it was strange that she even considered coming after MJ cooed Aaron Jr into sending her an invitation. Sandra and Alastair did not move in the same circles, this was more of Alastair Cooper's scenery than Sandra who was a certified housewife. "So, how do you feel now that the house is finally out of your hands?" MJ asked, watching her carefully. Sandra shrugged. "As difficult as it is to get used to, it is quite refreshing, hon

"This party would have been more interesting if I had planned it." Logan looked up to be met by a tiny body sitting on one of the bar stools, she was dressed in an off-shoulder black mini dress and hiker boots, and did not put much effort into styling her wild curls. He smiled, amused that he was not the only person bored out of his mind. He had only come here with the intention to irritate MJ, but after she gave him a stern warning, he steered clear of her. "It would have been a costume party, and I would be dressed up like a pirate," she said in a voice that sounded like an adult's, but there was something that easily gave away her age. "Really?" He asked. She was facing away, with her back to the bar, she looked around the room while swinging her legs on the chair. She turned around swiftly, her eyes knocking the breath out of him as he stared at her. "Why not?" "You know, I've been told that I have a rare eye colour, and it's true because I've never

Javier Mendoza felt like strangling someone, there was a scorching feeling in his throat, he just wanted to scream. It was a damn pity that he could not touch MJ, she had really outplayed herself tonight by making sure that he did not enjoy himself. Inviting Anita Simmons and Brianna to the party and pretending that was just a coincidence, that was a good move on her part and doom on his. He had to tread carefully throughout the entire night in order to avoid running into either of them, they only exchanged a few words with Anita and their conversation could not be any more awkward, and Anita made a dash for it in less than two minutes. He never got to speak to Brianna, except for the time he went to greet her with Daniella, and she had looked every part uncomfortable, especially when Daniella asked her what she was doing there without her husband. The worst was when Anita had asked if they had met before because she looked quite familiar, Brianna had looked like

Logan watched through sleepy eyes as MJ struggled to get comfortable in her seat. She kept shifting from side to side while looking out the window every second. He wondered who she had messed with, she did everything in a rush, from leaving the hotel to locating her jet to find her crew, and finally getting to Logan's private jet. She was restless as if expecting an ambush. Even after they took off, her nerves were still shot and she looked like she was having a hard time breathing. It took a while for her to finally recollect herself. "What happened back there?" Logan asked, still unable to keep his eyes open. MJ turned to him with a frown. "Don't worry yourself about that, Logan. I did what I had to do," she muttered tiredly. Logan smirked. "It was fun." She did not satisfy him with a response, instead, she tucked at her dress, looking annoyed. "I need to get out of this dress," she grumbled. "I can help you out," Logan suggested darkly, and

They could say the world was coming to an end, and Brianna doubted that would top the predicament she found herself in, in the last few days. She heard her laughter churning in her mind, remembering how she had not remembered the sound of her own laughter until the day she met her husband, Adam Grayson. It felt like such a distant memory, like everything that had happened in these past weeks had erased all the happiness she had built for herself all those years ago. She knew one thing for sure, exposing Samantha was not a mistake, neither was forming an unholy alliance with MJ Billings. However, there was something deeply unsettling about her latest stunt, she could not believe that she allowed Samantha to reel her into her crazy adventures. She knew her husband would not fall for the story about Brianna having an affair with Javier Mendoza, he knew she would never cheat on him. But still, if Samantha could work out that they are connected somehow, how long
