CHAPTER 71: CARTERS UNDER COERCION
It was soon evening and Jessica drove her new car to Richard’s private residence. The security personnel led her in and she handed the car keys to one of the guards to park for her. She watched the car being driven away and sighed. She was going to miss that SUV a lot once she handed it over to Richard. Jessica was led to the study where she found Richard seated drinking some brandy. His eyes were red like he had been drinking for a while. Jessica sat down and Richard poured her a drink which she didn’t touch. He sat back down and sighed as he looked at the pensive look on Jessica’s face. They both knew this was over and nothing they could say would change that. Before any of them began to speak, Eddie barged into the office.
“Eddie, when did you get here?” Richard asked in surprise.
“Not too long ago,” he said looking

Tokodi put down his phone in frustration. He had been trying to call Tracy without success for a while now. Several days had gone by since Tanasha’s burial and that was the last time that they had spoken. Tokodi had driven past her place twice now but she wasn’t available. Her car was always parked at the apartment complex but she was never there. Tokodi went through the morning with complex emotions as he wondered where Tracy could be, she was not one to disappear without a word. They had grown closer in the recent past and he knew she would not just disappear. A call came through when he was almost heading out to lunch and he reluctantly received it.“Speak,” he said arrogantly.“Tokodi, it’s Tracy. I’m at the West Square police station. Please come for me,” the caller said. Tokodi was shocked for a minute then

Tracy stirred herself out of sleep as the hip hop music got louder and louder. She stretched in bed and smiled as the warm fluffy blanket wrapped itself around her naked body. The bed was a big mess and she could not tell where the bedsheets were. She spotted a pillow on the floor beside the bed as she stood up and wrapped herself in the blanket. The open wardrobe showed an assortment of clothes and she wore one of the oversized t-shirts that had been neatly folded. She collected various articles of clothing on her way to the door and she stacked them on a chair. She neatly spread the bed once she located all the linen and then headed towards the kitchen. That was where the loud music was coming from. She was surprised to find Tokodi cooking yet again.“You know you could have just woken me up instead of blasting this music so loud,” Tracy said when she got to him. She hugged him from beh

It had been three months since Ella had been accused of orchestrating the attack on Victoria’s house. Ella had since disappeared without a trace and several people were looking for her. The first was Victoria. Victoria had made plans with the intelligence agencies to watch Victoria so as to control her subsequent actions. She had agreed with the authorities that clashing with individuals within diplomatic circles was not feasible. The agreement reached had been to leave Victoria out of the report that mentioned Ella’s release, on condition that Ella’s whereabouts were observed at all times.On the morning when Ella left Eddie’s house, several people were supposed to be keeping watch. Victoria had posted several men at all the exits and she was sure that Ella would not leave undetected. However, Ella had observed these strangers the night before and made note of their faces. He
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER1: WELCOME HOME?
The sun was beginning to set in the calm and quiet suburb with about 50 houses. Ella stepped out of her taxi to gaze at the lovely sunset on the horizon. She smiled to herself as she realised that she would enjoy this view for years to come. She looked at her beautiful two storey house with pride and walked towards the gate. She was surprised to see curtains already set up on the windows in the upper rooms. She had planned to furnish everything herself but she didn’t mind if Kevin had set things up for her. Besides, she didn’t mind saving some money. Just as she was about to ring the doorbell, a car hooted from behind her. She turned around and was surprised when she noticed that the car was two feet away from her. It seemed to be ready to enter her property. The driver looked at her with suspicion and she walked to his window. He rolled it down and looked her up and down. A beautiful woman who was wearing too much makeup looked at Ella harshly.“Can I help you?” the man asked.“I was

“Why is pretty aunty sad?” Jason asked his father. They watched as the beautiful young lady walked out of the gate. Her pleasant perfume lingered in the air even after she had closed the gate. She had an angelic face and a stunning full figure. If they had met under different circumstances, then Blake would have asked her out on a date.“She lost her way home,” Blake said as he picked up his son and they entered the house. He was beginning to regret buying this house. This was the fourth person who was claiming ownership over the same property. Although his lawyer was sure that the deal was above board, Blake was getting tired of the uninvited visitors.“Will you help her get home?” Jason asked as he hugged his father’s neck.“Sure. I gave her directions. She is on her way there,” Blake said. “Where is aunty Amanda?” he asked. Rose the nanny, came in and took Blake’s coat and briefcase. They were in the lounge and Blake couldn’t see Amanda anywhere.“She went upstairs,” Rose the nann

“I beg your pardon?” Ella asked in surprise.“I think you heard me well. Move in with me,” Blake said.“Why would I move in with you? I don’t understand,” Ella said.“You are a beautiful woman and I do not want to see you suffering,” Blake said as he pushed back a strand of hair from her face. The look in his eyes also said much more than any words could say.“You have no shame. Your wife and son are barely 10 meters away and you are making advances at me? And how exactly do you expect me to move in with a perfect stranger? You must be out of your mind,” Ella said standing up. Blake blocked her path so that she wouldn’t leave. She tried to push past him but he was too strong. She couldn’t help but notice his huge chest, handsome face and his intoxicating cologne. She had to admit that the man had very good taste in clothes as well. Ella took back her seat as she forced her attention back to the matter at hand. She couldn’t believe her mind was straying at a time like this.“Please let

“She is at your gate now sir.” Blake smiled to himself when he heard these words from a caller on the phone.“Alright. Wait until I get there,” Blake said and ended the call. Everything was falling into place. Ella had played into his trap exactly how he wanted it. He had hired someone to follow her all day. He had also made sure that he stayed one step ahead of her in everything she did. He was determined to have her move in with him no matter what the cost. A few minutes after he ended the call, Rose called to ask him if they should let Ella in. He authorised her entry and then he quickly left the office and began the drive home. His mind was racing as he wondered how he was going to pull this off. Ella seemed like a headstrong woman but he knew her independence was the only thing he could leverage against her. He had already put measures in place to make sure that she had no choice but to count on him. Ella was seated on the front porch when Blake got home. The seating area here

“Who is the woman who was in the boss’s office?” Dora the maid asked Rose. “It’s not my place to say,” Rose said rudely. She always considered herself Dora’s superior although Dora treated her like just another maid and co-worker.“Why don’t you just admit that you are clueless like me?” Dora asked with a chuckle. Rose glared at her but Blake walked in before she could reply. “Find out what Ella wants for supper and serve her in Jason's room,” Blake said then he walked out. After Rose heard the door close, she turned to Dora who was still seated.“What are you waiting for?” Rose asked.“I thought he was addressing you,”Dora said.“Jason is my only responsibility,” Rose said smugly. Dora got up from the armchair where she was sitting at the kitchen table and began to take out random ingredients from the fridge.“Aren’t you going to ask what she is eating?” Rose asked. “Go and ask her as you check on Jason,” Dora said as she nibbled on a carrot. Rose rolled her eyes and began walking
