96 // Bad News Too
Last Updated:
2021-10-08 16:16:58There was one thing MJ and Sonya had in common, and that was Jorge Billings; he was the only person in this world that united them. Besides their secret ties, their love for Jorge was what brought them together at times like this.
MJ had no idea what to do, she had never had to visit someone she cared about in hospital in a long time; unfortunately, it did not get to that with Alastair. The last time she was in hospital was when she was admitted after the kidnapping.
The only thing she could do now was to keep the news of Jorge's attempted murder off the media, too bad she could not buy his health or life even if she tried.
She fetched Sonya from Australia, because she believed that Jorge needed her on his bedside during this difficult time. Her return had little to nothing to do with Jorge, but his accident was a catalyst; she had unfinished business to take care of, and there was no bett

"Why bother coming if you are not even going to walk through those doors and see your brother?" Those were Sonya's words earlier before MJ left the hospital.Under normal circumstances, MJ would have been pissed by Sonya's nagging, but she was right.Her visits were becoming less frequent, and she never stayed for too long. She always wondered to herself what the use was, whether she was in the hospital, in the parking lot, or hotel, there was no change in Jorge's condition.She had avoided going to where it all began for quite some time, but she could not run from it forever.Upon arrival, the beach house was nothing like she remembered, it felt like a place harboured by the dead, like there was something left behind.She did not know how to feel, either the place was cursed or her family was.First it was he

"What is it that couldn't wait until later?" Logan asked, annoyed at David as he joined him at the reception.Clearly Natalia had finally gotten the message about not letting anyone in his office in his absence.David followed him to the elevator. "I wouldn't have called if it wasn't important," he said.Logan did not say anything after that, they got into the elevator and arrived in his office. He walked around his desk and sat down while David settled on the chair opposite him."So, what's the issue? Your sister making more accusations?"He was not interested in getting entangled with the Botha's now, between Zoe, Shannon, Lola, and David, he was getting tired of their drama.David sighed, massaging his neck. "There's someone asking questions."Logan raised a questioning eyeb

As usual, Parker's Enterprises was busy. The ground floor was packed with employees moving up and down. Mosetsana and Natalia stood behind the reception desk, but had a new companion. It was a young looking coloured girl, probably around 20. She had shoulder-length black hair and big brown eyes. Unlike the two other women, she was very active and fast, and spoke too much. First day at work, and Natalia and Mosetsana were already tired of hearing her stories. "I'm just gonna take these to Mr Parker." She said hastily and hurried to the elevator.Natalia buried her face in her palms and groaned. "When is this day ending?!" She whined and looked at Mosetsana who just sighed and gave her the tell-me-about-it look."Thank God, it's lunch time." Mosetsana said and started packing her things. Natalia just sighed and nodded. She placed her elbow on the desk and leaned against her arm, staring at the door boringly as some of her col

The place was quiet.Too quiet for her comfort.She tried to open her eyes, but something restricted her from doing so. She had been blindfolded. She tried to move, but her arms and legs were bound.She tried to think of a solution, but nothing came up. For the first time in her life, she felt stupid. She felt useless.All her life, she had proven to be able by herself. She had proven that she did not need anyone to achieve her goals, neither did she need anyone to come to her rescue, especially men. However, on the contrary, it was quite the opposite. "Jorge!" She whispered, her voice inaudible from fear.She took a deep breath, the smell of urine and dirty water hitting her nostrils and causing her to cringe and choke on her saliva. She coughed, the process not helping at all as she tried to stabilize her breaths. Oh, Jorge! Whe

The Billionaires Too (#2) 107 // Reunion
As much as Logan had anticipated seeing MJ Billings again, he did not expect it to be so soon, especially after their last conversation on the phone. He was convinced that it would take months and a miracle for her to make another stop in Cape Town, and he was okay with that.He knew she was back over a week ago, but thought it best to stay out of the way, because he feared that she would catch on to the guilt in his eyes.The day she walked into his office with Sonya marked a beginning of a new era in his life, one too many times he was convinced that perhaps they could look past their differences and their past and start afresh, he believed they could be happy.

At least that was what he thought until Cameron showed up on his doorstep

Logan arrived in his home tired. It was around 8p.m., he had made sure that he was the last one to leave the office especially since it was spring and days were longer. He always left his office at 7p.m. when the sun set.Nodding at the butler as a form of greeting, he entered his house and walked to his sitting room, and his steps faltered as he took in the picture in front of him, and his blood boiled. Dirty dishes were on the coffee table, unfinished food and food crumbs covered his table. There were dirty socks on the large couch and empty cans covered the floor. "CAMERON!" He barked as he took heavy steps up the stairs.He dropped his suitcase and jacket on his bed before he strolled out of his room to continue the search for his brother. "CAMERON!" He barked and pushed Cameron's door harshly, causing it to bang against the wall, and then he froze at the door, pursing his lips together. Cameron jumped out
