46 // Demigod
Demi could not remember the last time she felt so humiliated, she could only imagine what Samantha thought of her, she probably thought Demi was a submissive wife who had nothing to stand on without her husband; which was by bar the honest truth.
There was something about Shaka that was commanding, it was difficult to say no to him or go against him. It was funny, because she knew what she was getting herself into when she said ‘I do’, and she never for a second regretted it. As much as Shaka had an authoritative aura, he was always loving and gentle with her, and he allowed her to do as she pleased almost all the time.He always supported her, even against his own family. He never expected her to quit her career and become a housewife like his mother wanted, and he had gone as far as buying her a house so that she could have some privacy and focus on their relationship without his family’s interference.Lately, they hardly saw each other, especiallyRelated chapters
Suits & Aces (#3) 47 // Lonely Nights
It was no secret to the world that Antonina was always the last person to leave La Cafe, and that sometimes she stayed up until late. Robberies and burglaries were highly common and frequent around the area, but every player knew that Antonina Dos Santos was off limits, she could be the last person still open after 10p.m., and no one would dare come near her. She was used to it, and until the shootout, she had always closed late, but now she called it a night by 7p.m. and she remained there until 8p.m. before going home.Logan stayed in the car for a while just watching her. He knew it was creepy, but he could not help it. He could not help pondering over the fact that things would have been different had Montana not interfered. Antonina had been of great help to him, and he wanted to do the same for her, he wanted to be there for her and support her during her dark times like she supported him. But he went about it the wrong way.He had thought abo

It was so strange finding herself at this location again after everything that went down the last time she was here.She had just finished taking a quick shower when she received a text from Logan, asking her to meet him at the harbour. She could have said no like she has done many times before, but it felt like until she and Logan had talked everything out, there would always be this unresolved tension between them.MJ was still trying to process everything Sasha told her earlier, and she was also concerned about her own health, she was spiralling and she knew it, but she also knew that she could not stop, there was so much do be done in such a short time; but she was not complaining because it was necessary.The place was unexpectedly quiet, she would have imagined that it would be busy, swarming with men loading their goods onto the ships to prepare for their shipments, but instead, it was deserted.Maybe Logan gave them all a night off
Suits & Aces (#3) 49 // Ashes To Ashes
Logan plunged out of the water like a whale attacking his prey, and he could not believe what awaited him above water. Everything he had worked for was up in smoke, his yacht and all the boats in line were roaring with flames.Above all, he could not believe that he survived blowing up by a second, if he had not reached MJ on time, they would have been grilled to ashes.MJ came above water, letting out a trembling breath.“MJ, are you okay?” He asked, swimming towards her.He tried to hold her, but she pushed him away and attacked him. “Let me go! You nearly killed me! I knew coming here was not a good idea!” She swam past him, towards the boardwalk.“MJ!” Cameron’s voice was distant as he called for MJ.Everything was a blur, Logan had no idea when Cameron and Kyle got there, but they probably followed him and MJ there. Logan was starstruck, he could not even bring himself to swim to the shore, Kyle had to get him ou

“I think you were set up. Someone wanted you guys here, together, at the same time.”MJ paced back and forth, unable to process her feelings and thoughts as her mind replayed Kyle’s words like a song on repeat.How could this have happened?She could not believe she fell for a trap, what was she hoping to achieve by running out to meet Logan without second thought? She could not help but wonder what would have happened if she had been the only one there, she could have blown up to death because of her impulsive decisions where Logan Parker was involved.MJ had no doubt in her mind that Samantha was involved, but she did not understand how she could have pulled this off alone, she obviously had help. But from who?MJ made a mental note to follow up on how Sasha’s rescue mission went, maybe her sister knew something.She was pulled back to life when she crashed into Logan. “Watch where you are going!” She snapped. She
Suits & Aces (#3) 51 // Blind Road
To say her night was blissful would be a bluff. It only lasted until they had to go back to the house, and Logan happily went to Jorge’s room, but not before reminding her that she had to take him to Samantha the very next morning. He was determined, and that rattled MJ to the core. He had given her a deep kiss before she closed her bedroom door, and she did not miss the brightness in his eyes. She hated the sequence in which these events were happening, she hated the fact that they would be back to square one by this time tomorrow. Logan had said he loved her, and she showered her in kisses until she decided to call it a day. It all felt so familiar, like he had said that a million times before, it felt like it was just yesterday when he last kissed her, like tomorrow would be the same. It was Deja Vu, a familiar road to the old days when she would sneak out to meet Logan at their secret location, or when she would sneak him into the house while Jorge
Suits & Aces (#3) 52 // Settling Scores
MJ exhaled as his voice faded in the background, the betrayal leaving a bitter taste in her mouth, and Kyle Davids’ pacing did not ease the apprehension she felt. “Are you going to stop anytime soon?” She asked as she settled next to Sasha on the couch, throwing the journalist a calculative glance. Of all three of them, she was the only person who was unaffected by what happened a few minutes ago, if anything she seemed pleased with the turn of events. “Sure thing, as soon as I forget that Logan wanted to shoot me,” Kyle rambled. MJ rolled her eyes. “He was not going to shoot you, he was just on alert, that’s all.” Kyle stopped and looked at her like she was crazy. “You don’t know that, we are talking about the same guy that threatened to throw me overboard on his yacht a few hours ago.” MJ shuddered at the mention of the yacht. "Kyle, snap out of it. I don't need to remind you of what's at stake here, Samantha is a danger to all of us, and I have
Suits & Aces (#3) 53 // Weird Behaviour
The excitement that bubbled within her felt like that of a young child at the sight of candy. Samantha was grinning all the way from the house until they reached the hospital. They rushed through the process of Caroline seeing the gynaecologist, and Samantha made sure to sit through the entire process so that the doctor could not make the mistake of revealing things she was not supposed to. To Samantha’s horror, there was indeed a baby growing inside the poor woman, and she could not bring herself to share their excitement as they listened to the heartbeat and the other woman pointed at body parts. Caroline was emotional, she was crying and laughing at the same time, something about falling more and more in love with the baby. Samantha rolled her eyes, she never liked children, her brother’s kids annoyed her even though she would do anything for them, and they were a bit scared of her. “So, do you know the gender of the baby?” Samantha piped up to Carol
Suits & Aces (#3) 54 // Silent Treatment
The honeymoon phase had finally come to an end, and it was heart-shattering that it could not have lasted longer than she had anticipated. Montana Parker had come to ruin her life, and from where she stood, Lola could see that she was succeeding. She stared at the paternity test results as they moved from one person to the next. The Bothas seemed more than happy to welcome Chad as one of them and they had done so before they went to do the DNA test. Lola felt like she was slowly stepping outside the circle as Montana quietly crept in. She stared at the woman sitting on the other side of the table, a smug look on her face as Lillian gushed over finally having a grandson. She planned this carefully, Lola thought, she knew David was not gonna waste another second without his son, so she gave him an even better reason to accept him, by bringing the results while his entire family was present in the morning. It was the morning after the explosion at the harbour.
