“I thought I would buy some gifts for the children,” Jessica said.
“Ok. I’ll come with you,” Richard said.
“Are you not going to visit Eddie?” Jessica asked.
“We can go in the afternoon,” Richard said.
“I wanted to talk to you about something,” Jesssica said.
“I’m listening.”
“I was just wondering what you did with Kevin,” Jessica said. Richard’s face darkened and

The VIP lounge at the airport had suddenly turned to a buzz as a certain celebrity came into the country. Mrs Aurelia Raymond took advantage of the chaos to slip out of the lounge and into the company of Rose. Aurelia had spotted one of Blake’s men waiting for her but she wanted to bypass him so she could communicate with Rose without any interception.“Why did you take so long?” Rose asked irritably.“I think you have forgotten who I am, young lady. I don’t owe you any explanations,” Aurelia said. She took out her compact kit and began dusting her face.“I’m sorry madam. I’m just a little anxious,” Rose said as she rolled her eyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had been unable to infiltrate the Raymonds finances then she wouldn

“What is the meaning of this?” Aurelia asked.‘Have a seat mum,” Blake said as he sat down and pulled Ella on the seat next to him. His parents sat down reluctantly while Blake dismissed the security personnel.“Mum, please meet the governor Richard and his girlfriend Jessica. I’m sure you have met Kevin before,” Blake said.“I have never seen that man in my life,” Aurelia said haughtily.“Well, let me play a little video that will help you jog your memory,” Blake said. The tv switched on to show Rose, Kevin and Aurelia in a luxury hotel having dinner in a private room. Their conversation revolved around building a solid case that would ensure that Ella was put behind bars. Ella was so shocked that s

“Dad, if you were in my shoes what would you do to your parents?” Blake asked when they were left alone.“Son, it’s been a long day. Let me go and get checked by a real professional. We can discuss other things later,” Aurelia said.“Your daughter in law just saved your life yet you cannot give her the slightest bit of respect?” Mr Raymond asked.“I don’t have a daughter in law. Besides, I didn’t ask her to touch me with her filthy hands,” Aurelia said. Blake’s eyes turned ice cold.“Your stinking attitude just made things much easier for me mum. As of two hours ago, your passport has been recalled and you no longer have diplomatic immunity. There are some people outside who will escort you out

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

It was the weekend and Tokodi and Tracy woke up mid morning. They showered together and changed, then packed all of Tracy’s things and headed home. Tracy was eager to open her gifts and she began to do so. Each gift was thoughtful and impressive and Tracy ended up showering Tokodi with many kisses. By the time she opened all the gifts, Tokodi was feeling like the king of the universe. He helped Tracy to unpack and arrange her jewellery, clothes and appliances that he had bought her. Tracy looked as happy as a child eating ice cream, and she even shed a few tears when Tokodi said that he had bought all those gifts to celebrate their engagement. Later that afternoon, Tokodi went out to buy some groceries and toiletries while Tracy cleaned up the house. He had been itching to leave the house so that he could attend a meeting with Blake.Tokodi had woken up that morning and taken Blake’s numb

Back at the Raymond residence, there was confusion and excitement amongst the staff. Only one driver was aware of when Ella had returned, and he explained how he had simply picked her up from an apartment complex. He had been with the Raymond family for years and he knew how to be discreet while releasing just enough information to generate some counter intelligence. The man could clearly recall the animated conversation which he had subsequently narrated to Blake.“Are you sure you picked her up from an apartment? I was there when the police dragged her out of the house. Blake must have picked her up from a police station,” Dora said. She had come downstairs with rage and explained to the other staff members how Blake’s criminal ex-wife had sneaked back into the house.“We picked her up at a middle class estate. I don&

“You are a really good dancer,” Tokodi said to Tracy when she returned from the dance floor. She took a large gulp of her drink and sat down.“You should join me for the next one,” Tracy said as she tapped her foot in rhythm to the music.“I have two left feet,” Tokodi said as he watched the flushed look on Tracy’s face. They had decided to enter this night club when Tracy heard the invigorating music from outside. He was accompanying her as she went to pick up her things from the serviced apartment she had been staying at.“How do you get sleep with this noise?” Tokodi asked. The serviced apartment was adjacent to the club and the walls were literally vibrating because of the beat.&ldqu

“Is everything okay?” Jessica asked Richard. He was staring at his phone during breakfast and had barely touched his food.“I’ve been trying to call Eddie since last night. The phone keeps ringing and he doesn’t respond,” Richard said.“That is odd. Do you think maybe he left the phone in his car? It’s still early in the morning and he may not have noticed,” Jessica said. Richard shook his head in disagreement.“He doesn’t usually leave his phone unattended. His work calls come in at all times of the day,” Richard said.“Maybe I should call Ella. She may know where it is since they work together and they are dating,” Jessica said. Richard nodded in approval and Jessica removed her phone f
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER 92: THE ENEMY WITHIN
Ella woke up feeling confused in her new home with Blake. She stirred out of sleep and looked around the elegant bedroom tastefully furnished with brown and white hues. She sat up wondering how she had ended up in bed while all she could remember was drinking milk and eating cookies at the sofa.Ella took a cold shower and dressed as she wondered If Eddie and Bryer were ok. She looked around and could not see any of the bloody clothes from the day before. Ella used the brand new toiletries that had been laid out and she finished getting ready.She was feeling a little hungry and wondered what time it was. There was no clock in the bedroom and she still had no idea where her phone was. Her phone had been in her handbag which had remained in Eddie’s car. Tracy felt tears fill her eyes when she remembered how Eddie had been shot. She had never known that Blake could be so violent and cruel. The mem
