CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED -SEVEN *Alamba beach day!!!!* Nana was already waiting for them in the lobby by the time the elevator dinged open to the down floor.She wore floral beach rompers and brown sandals that were attuned to her skin color. Her braided hair was pulled up into a ponytail.She waved at them furiously as they approached."Hey, you guys!!!! What took you so long?! I've been waiting for the past half hour." she wailed. ''I even had to finish up a chilled glass of Swali and yet you were still late. Tried your line severally but you weren't picking so I decided it's best to wait down here."A tense Silence as Nana arched a suspicious brow at them.A knowing smile crossed her lips.Janice cleared her throat loudly and laughed nervously."You know that Swalli thing we drank yesterday took a little hit than I expected ." "I bet it did." Nana ribbed as she glided a cocky glance at Drake and her.Janice's cheeks heated as sizzling images of last night's episodes flashed through h
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-EIGHT*"I am going and there's no stopping me."*The sea was like a rippling blanket of brochure blue. Squabbling seagulls flew overhead, harassing the beachgoers in their endless hunger. Gannets were dive-bombing the stretched surface of the sea far out from shore. The horizon was edged with a silver tint and a cormorant was flying into that place where sun and water meet.It was an endless view of sparkling light blue water and the afternoon sun rays glimmered in the ocean giving off a relaxing sensation."Follow me, I already made reservations for us!" Nana gushed as they trudged their way into the heap of beach sand passing the chirping children making sand castles and women basking in the sunlight and the men casually having drinks.After about a good five minutes stagger in the sand, they arrived at an open resort with canopies and the inscription, VIP ONlY written on it."C'mon guys! Let's go relax!" Nana urged waving at them as she approached the entrance o
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-NINE *Hello London, It's been Ages!"*"Ahhh!! The hub of London life. How j missed it so." He muttered to himself as the taxi cab pulled up to the popular bustling central city of London.The man was hefty, with a well-toned and shaped broad chest, tall and dangerously handsome with a slightly spiked lighter shade of sandy hair. His eyes were a darker shade of blue like the turbulent stormy ocean.As he casually walked past the throng of a crowd of people on the street, he couldn't help but chuckle as every passerby glanced his way, some group of girls couldn't help gawking at his features in awe, and some hushed his glory amongst themselves.He glanced at the Apple watch and it came to life as soon as he raised his hand to peer at it."Good. We are almost there." the google map indicated that the Famous St. Lauren's shouldn't be far off from where he was. So it's pointless taking another cab down there.He walked gracefully in a long stride rounding off the corn
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-TEN*"Drastic situations call for drastic actions they say...*"No way in hell that the person she most dreaded would be here in London, in her face!!!!!What on earth is he doing here unannounced ?!I bet Drake is not even aware of this sudden development.Her heart thundered in her chest uncontrollably.She bit her bottom lip furiously in a bid to tamp down her ragging heartbeat but to no avail."What the fuck are you doing here?!" she growled, the whites of her eyes turning pink with rage.He chuckled as he shrugged glibly."Easy now, Racheal. Have a seat let's talk." He patted the empty seat beside him, a smirk curling up his lips.She shot a bitchy glare at him and glanced over her shoulders ensuring that no one was around.She leaned forward with spite stamped all over her face.", What the hell are you doing here? In London of all places and how did you know I work here?" Her brows furrowed with suspicion.A sly smile slashed his handsome face."what's so ba
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED -ELEVEN*Where is Drake when she needed him?!*She is certain that she took the exact path they had taken when they first arrived on the shores of Alamba beach.The stubborn beach sands seeped through her strapped sandals slowing her pace.Damn it!Where did he go?She squinted as her frantic hazel eyes scanned the beach in search of a sandy brown-haired handsome tall muscular man in a crisp white shirt and shorts with a phone pressed against his ears but to no avail.She puffed out an exasperated breath.Maybe Nana was right, she should perhaps give him a call.She looked down at herself in dilated orbs."Fuck!" she muttered under her breath in anger.She forgot her phone and her purse back in the restaurant.Just great!Now, Nana won't be able to reach her nor would she be able to reach Drake at this rate.What the fuck was she thinking running out like that?!She slapped her hand against her cheeks frantically.Okay, calm down. We are still on the beach. She is
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED- TWELVE *Where is Janice?*"What do you mean she went off just like that?!" Howled Drake, with anxiety furrowed in his brows.Nana shrugged, waving her hands frantically in the air."I tried to stop here but she insisted on going. What would I have done differently? I am in no control or authority to stop her. So...she left.""And you don't have any idea what route she took?""Of course not! I tried to call her but I realized she forgot her phone in her purse.""No wonder I couldn't get through to her."He puffed out an exasperated deep breath and ran a frantic hand through his sandy wind-blown hair."Goddamn it Janice!" he muttered under his breath. " I told you to stay put."Of course, she had always been stubborn at heart.But he didn't know things would escalate like this.He came down to south Africa to protect her, swearing an oath to her father and now she's probably out there, lost and sacred."what do we do now? We don't know exactly where she is and we c
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED -THIRTEEN *Will she be raped before help arrives?*Her heart was slamming aggressively against her ribcage as she undid the strap of her sandals with trembling frantic hands and started running in the opposite direction without looking back.Oh God Oh God Oh God!!!!!!She was screaming in her mind as she raced with wobbling legs in the other direction.The sky is dark and gloomy and the moon has risen to the sky, gleaming weakly down the beach. Because of the weak reflection of the moonlight, she could barely make out the path ahead of her as she staggered in the sand, running with her all of her might."Hey get back here !!!" one of the men called out in a raspy menacing tone.Oh, Fuck!The hair on her neck stood up in alarm.She had no idea how many they were. Maybe three or more even.What the heck is she going to do if they caught up with her?Those were men, Jane!!How would a miserable woman like her do to defend herself from such baleful men?One of the men
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-FOURTEEN*Somebody please help me!!!*"I warned you to stay put and I wouldn't have to hurl you like that." The tall muscular black guy in a thick leather jacket and jeans said as he crouched to the ground and held her face aggressively in the palm of his head, forcing her to look at him.Her brain took a couple of minutes to reboot again. The impact had probably let loose some nuts in her head because her ears were still ringing and her vision was still blurry a little.But soon afterwards, her vision cleared and her eyes roamed the three men before her looking down at her with lewd hungry eyes like hungry dogs eyeing good meat.She flinched and scoot backward in panic."Easy now, young lady. Easy..." the other man in khaki jeans and brow sweater drew close with menace in his eyes. He was on short dreadlocks."You seem like a big catch. We have been trailing you since you guys got off that luxurious super expensive Limousine."Her hazel eyes dilated in shock.Sinc
