55 // Sweat Tears and Cocktails
There was nothing Logan hated more than loitering the streets at night; it was too dangerous for a man of his status. Not that anything would happen to him, because he had Thuso by his side. The guy would literally take a bullet for him. He was married, with a kid, and instead of spending time with them, he was out here in the cold with Logan, to rescue a wild teenage girl.
The call Logan had received while he was at the restaurant with Jorge, was from a bartender from one of Thuso's clubs. The person named Max told Logan that Shannon was wasted, and she was busy dancing on the tables. He asked Logan to come and get her before she does something stupid.
When Thuso and Logan arrived at the club, there was no parking spot; even Thuso’s reserved space was taken, so while Thuso was still looking for a parking spot, Logan went into the club on his own.
At the entrance of the club stood two big guys, guarding the door and checking ID’s of

He blamed himself for every single thing MJ encountered, every scar she bore, and every tear she shed.He was the only guardian and protector she ever had, and one slip up, she was ruined for good.

“BREAKING NEWS: Snegugu Khumalo-Davids calls it quits after finding out about her husband’s past affairs. Apparently, when the young and rich multimillionaire, Kyle Davids, went on a business trip in Brazil a few months ago, he was allegedly spotted with a hot Brazilian woman (no offense to Snegugu). They were seen together on a number of occasions and they looked happy together. A source tells us that Mr Davids was planning to marry her, but how would he do that with a wife back home and his father on his neck? That is right Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Kyle Davids was only in it for money; his marriage to Miss Khumalo was a business deal put together by their parents as a way to keep the two families together.Please don't get things twisted.

“What did you say happened to your eye again?” Reina asked, sipping on her coffee. Jorge Billings was seated at La Café with Reina after he had accidentally bumped into her on his way from Parker’s Enterprises.“I slipped in the bathtub.” Jorge said, eating his brownies.“You said you ran into the door.” She laughed so hard and clutched her stomach.“Great, now you are laughing at me.” Jorge pushed his chair back and got up to leave, but she stopped him.“Okay! I’m sorry, please sit down.” She said in between laughs and pulled him down. He sighed and sat down.“Is everything okay here?” Antonina asked and looked between the two with wonder. It had been a long time since she had seen or heard Reina laugh, or seen the twinkle in her eyes.Reina gave her a radiant smile, and Antonina gasped, but quickly covered it up. S

It was almost time to knock off and Logan had missed his lunch, so he was very hungry and tired. He had spent most of his day hiding in his office. After the article, Sasha wrote about him and after firing Demi, he did not want to face any more people. He had told Natalia to cancel all of his meetings for the day.He looked at his watch and sighed. He got up and took his jacket and phone, and left his office.He could not stay locked up in his office all day, people had probably forgotten about that little lie she put in the article, because the article was about Kyle. Besides, Sasha had been dealt with. Yes, she pretty much still had her job, but she was suspended for three months after Logan called in a favor with the owner of the publication. Her punishment was not enough, but her boss insisted that it was all he could offer because Sasha was one of the best journalists they had, and he could not afford to lose her.Logan arrived on the grou

Sometimes in life, we get to the stage where nothing surprises us anymore. Someone dies; we say it was their time. Someone fails; failure is part of life, they will get it right the next time. We have reached the point where it is acceptable for us to be hurt because the people we love the most are the ones who hurt us the most, right?However, "we" is not everyone. We are not the same; the world population is about 7.6 billion and more up to date, meaning that there are seven billion different people out there. We do not all perceive life the same way; the way Jean sees an elephant is not the same way Anna sees an elephant. Lara may see it as what it is - an animal, while Maya may see it as tension.This was the situation with Anita Simmons. She had made the biggest mistake of her life, but she did not even know it. She had invited MJ over for breakfast at the beach house on a Saturday morning. When MJ refused to talk to her the previous night, she was con

“Anita, it is the 1st of May on Monday.” Jorge said to Anita as she jogged towards him from the shore. They were currently at the beach after Jorge said they needed to ‘loosen up’ a bit. They had left the private beach so that Anita could get a glimpse of Cape Town and its people before they go back to London.“I know that!” Anita chuckled and slumped down next to him on their picnic blanket.“Well, it is MJ’s birthday.” He said, playing with a silver necklace.“And she does not like celebrating it.” She said as a matter of fact.“I just…I want to do something special for her.” Jorge said quietly."Something like what? Jorge, how many times have we planned a birthday party or office party and she didn't show up?" Jorge sighed as he thought about what Anita was saying.There was no way of denying the truth, indeed they had

"Mr Parker." Thuso nodded, entering Logan's home office."Thuso, I thought you had a family crisis; what are you doing here?" Logan asked flatly, sitting on his white office couch.“It’s been sorted, Sir.” Thuso said with his hand behind his back.“Great, at least now you can do what I pay you to do.” Logan said sharply. “You know I don’t appreciate workers who mix business with pleasure; you sort out your family issues outside of work, after working hours.” He said sternly.“Yes, Sir.” The driver gave a slight bow.“Good. I want you to go over the CCTV footage and see if you can find anything on the accident from yesterday. It was a black car with tinted windows; I could not make out who was in there, and strangely, the street cameras were off in that duration.” He gestured at his laptop on the desk. Thuso walked towards it and turned the screen s

Birthdays. That one day of the year that commemorates the day one was born and brought into this world. MJ had not celebrated her birthday in years - thirteen years to be exact. It was as if her life ended the moment she turned fifteen.Before any of these things happened, she could have sworn that birthdays without Jorge were like thunder without rain and a heart without a heartbeat, but she was not so sure anymore. MJ was furious when she discovered that Jorge’s ‘urgent’ meeting was only a front to get her to come to Johannesburg. He knew that if he had told her, she would not have agreed, and the only way she would talk to him was if it had something to do with Billings Corporations.The clock had just turned to twelve o’clock midnight and it was the 1st of May; MJ’s birthday, but she felt nothing. It felt like any other autumn evening accompanied by chilly winds.“Happy birthday, May Jeanette!” Jorg
