Sometimes she wondered why she bothered, why she cared so much. These people were a threat to her, and whenever she thought she had escaped them, life always found a way to push her towards them.The Billings.They seemed like nice people at the beginning, especially MJ Billings. At least that was what she thought. And Jorge Billings was like an angel, he was so considerate and was always smiling, he seemed kind.She moved from seeing them as one of the richest people, to witnessing one burying people and the other nearly dying. And yet, here she was, parading through the hospital hallway to check on Jorge. It had been her routine for the past few days, but she never made it to his room, she feared that she would run into his sister along the way.She was about to leave when she ran into Sonya at the entrance. "Shannon!" The woman greeted with a tired smile, she probably spent all her days here, waiting for her fiance to wake u

He should have known that trouble was brewing the moment his sister volunteered to host the dinner she had been trying to avoid for days now.When Danielle asked her mother to host a family dinner last week, Brianna came up with every excuse in the book in order to miss the dinner or make sure that it never happened. She was trying her best to avoid him after his attack, but he wanted to show her that he was alive and that she would not get rid of him that easily. Unfortunately, to his sister's relief and his wife's disappointment, the dinner had to happen without him since he was held up in Ireland, his trips were starting to become regular. It was no surprise when Danielle had a drinking feast due to his absence, but his sister's cunning ways were uncalled for. Danielle did not complain when he dropped her off at the apartment and then left, he drove to the hotel Sienna had sent him and went straight to her room.He never got to have a

“Dude, are you sure that she came all this way just to threaten you?” He asked. Something about Javier Mendoza’s story did not make sense; he was calling to tell him how his ex suddenly rocked up unannounced and that she was threatening him with his children.“What do you mean? I just told you that she threatened to have my children killed!” Javier snapped into the phone. Aaron rolled his eyes. “Come on, I'm sure she is just bluffing. I mean, from what I've heard, the children mean the world to Sienna. Are you sure that's the only reason you are worried, or is there something else?” There was silence on the other end before Javier spoke again. “I am just heartbroken, I guess. I've been away from Sienna and my kids for years. I know it was my decision to walk away, but it does not make me feel any better, Sienna doesn't even want to see me near them, I don't even have a picture of my son and my daughter.”Javier was hardly eve

Between staying up with Sasha and updating her on the latest and driving back to Cape Town MJ hardly slept, she just woke up and the day had already started, she got home and showered and then drove out into the city. She did not see Cameron that morning.She stopped by Logan's restaurant and caught up on some work, she could not bring herself to eat because she was tired of eating takeaways, she needed a proper home-cooked meal. All she had that morning was a cup of tea and some croissants. She settled her bill and was about to leave when something, or rather, someone caught her attention. Normally, she did not go on her way out to make people uncomfortable, they always came to her, but seeing this trio, she could not help the urge to make a presence known. She quickly sent a text on her phone and then sauntered her way towards them gracefully, her head held high as her eyes sparkled in triumph. The boy was the first one to spot her, and fear mask

Playing games in real life was nothing compared to playing on the phone, there was no pause button, no replay, no retries, no extra lives; once you crossed a line, there was no going back. Everything was well-planned, but there was a flaw to her plans, she forgot who she was messing with. At the end of the day, it was not just about her brother, it was also about Sienna, and Sienna was not someone to be provoked. Sienna was the type of person to push back harder when pushed, and that was one of the reasons Javier fell in love with her. Her children meant the world to her, and if anyone put them in danger, she would not hesitate to get rid of them, even if that person happened to be their father. There was no telling what she would do to Brianna for the stunt she pulled, guess she would have to wait and see.MJ Billings sent her house keys sooner than expected, and the very next morning, Brianna found herself waiting outside the monstrous mansion.
