Semua Bab SURRENDER TO YOUR HIDDEN DESIRES.: Bab 61 - Bab 70

The sounds of gunshots continued to tear the night's peace apart. A few Gaborans could hear the gunshots, they knew where they came from, they knew who was behind the violent disturbance but they also knew they couldn’t come out to see what was happening. They feared for their lives.For Nate however, it was different. For the second time that day, he knew true misery, true heartbreak as he watched Anele’s limp body make its descent down under the influence of gravity. His screams stopped, he couldn’t make a single sound but watched helplessly as her body made a slow-motion descent down the cliff and toward him.When his back hit the water he sank deep into the cold arms of the ocean and Anele’s body fell after his. He reached a hand up to grab her but the water pulled him further down, away from the one girl he ever loved as much as he loved his mother.The guards came to the edge of the cliff and looked into the water. There was no way Nate and Tshepo should have survived the rocks,

The real challenge to getting out of the diamond farm was getting past the guards and the explosives. Getting past the guards was partially easy since they could hear their voices so both Nate and Tshepo deduced that they were still hanging around the cliff waiting for any signs of movements that would indicate that they were still alive. They couldn’t rule out the possibility that there might be some guards at the gate.“How do we leave?” Nate whispered fiercely.“The explosives are set off by heavyweight, that’s what one of the workers told me while I was…away. During the day half of the explosives are deactivated where the workers work but at night they are fully activated.”“How does your friend know this?” Nate asked unsure of that information. He would have preferred to climb up the cliff again and fight his way through the guards. That would attract attention but at least it was the fastest way to get to Fredrick’s throat.“He once saw a bird alight on the other half of the act

“I searched everywhere! I looked into every record for something to use as leverage but everything came up squeaky clean! Do you have any idea how boring your life has been up until now?”Rachel glared at Jacob as he paced in front of her saying nothing. It was three months since he showed up in Ermernia, drugged her, bound her, and dragged her out to the middle of nowhere – it wasn’t actually the middle of nowhere she just didn’t know where they were. All she could see from the windows was the ocean. They were on an island. That was all she knew. There were barely any boats and even if there were she could hardly see from the narrow window in her room.She sat on the couch in the very spacious and exquisitely furnished living room. It had the classy expensive things she hadn’t known Jacob could afford. But then again she didn’t know anything about him. She hadn’t known he had been afflicted with a gang and that dating her and their subsequent marriage had been a cover to get himself

“You won’t tell me anything! What does he want with her?!”Tshepo stared at his friend as he paced the office. In no time Nate would wear a path on the linoleum floor. He knew his friend was agitated but it amused him because he never knew Nate to be an impatient man yet here he was agitated over a woman. He relaxed on the couch musing.Nate shot him a nasty look. “Why the hell are you so relaxed?”“Why shouldn’t I be? I am not the one fighting my demons and worrying about a woman who I chased out of my house with my less-than-pleasant attitude.”Nate stopped pacing to glare at Tshepo again. His heart was racing but his hands were tied, there was nothing he could do especially since he didn’t know what had happened to Rachel. Tshepo who seemed to know a lot would only tell him one thing, ‘Jacob has Rachel.’ And that was it.“You are a little too relaxed,” he accused him.“Because I know Rachel is safe.”“And how do you know that?”“Because it’s classified information.”“What do you me

Her head came up sharply, pulse already pumping excitedly at the sound of his voice. But in the next breath, her pulse returned to a dull hammer in her vein. Her initial excitement was an involuntary response to seeing him again and hearing his voice but when reason set in all she wanted was for him to go away. She didn’t want to hear what he had to say.“What are you doing here, Nate?” She asked, the weight of his name heavy on her tongue. It felt too familiar…too good. Now many times did she call out his name in the heat of passion during their brief time together?He caught her eyes through the mirror and she was transported back to that day…the day before his ultimate betrayal. The weight of his betrayal made the air heavy and tense.His eyes never left hers but he took a single step forward. She turned around sharply to glare at him. Behind her the tap was running, abandoned.“You have always looked beautiful…you look,” his eyes strayed from her eyes to her body, a look of longin
