Terakhir Diperbarui:
2021-10-07 14:52:09Life IS a roller coaster. It takes us up and down. It made you happy sometimes, and left you asking questions like ‘why me?’ most of the times. But that is just life; it is unpredictable, unreliable, and greatly unfair.
24 hours. A day. Many things can happen within 24 hours. Time goes on; it does not stop or continue just as we wish. Sometimes we wish we could go back in time and prevent something from happening, but who are we to do that? Someone once said, ‘time is free, but it is priceless. You cannot own it, but you can spend it. Once you have lost it, you can never get it back.’ Neither of us can stop time, but we can use it to make up for our mistakes and heal our wounds.
The Dos Santos women and Anita were seated in the waiting room at the hospital, waiting for updates on Carmen’s condition. They were the only people that had bothered themselves about her; everyone else had developed hatred towards her.
But who could blame them?
Doctor Becker appeared from the hallway, and the women stood up and approached her. “Doctor, how is she?” Antonina asked.
Doctor Becker smiled at them and closed the folder she was holding. “Ladies, it’s good to see that at least some of you don’t hold grudges. Turns out Miss Du Preez fractured her neck and suffered from a concussion.” She explained.
“Oh my!” Anita clasped her hands over her mouth.
The other three women gave Anita a weird look, amazed by her character. She did not even know who Carmen was, but somehow, she still felt something for her.
“Fortunately, we were able to stabilize her, but she slipped into a coma. We are not sure when she will wake up, but one thing for sure; she will not be able to move her head.” Doctor Becker sighed.
“All of this for a man’s affection?” Antonina sighed and shook her head.
“I’m surprised you guys came, her family wants nothing to do with her.” Doctor Becker said with a small smile.
“I know what she did was awful and unforgivable. Logan is like a son to me, but she’s also like a daughter to me, and don’t we all make mistakes?” Antonina asked. “Who am I to hold this on her? She didn’t do me any wrong.”
“That is true. Although I still can’t believe she did what she did. Logan must be hurting wherever he is.” The doctor heaved a sigh. “They were supposed to get married today.”
It had been two days since things took an unexpected turn for Logan Parker. Just a few days ago, he was celebrating his upcoming fatherhood, but now people were celebrating his pain.
His loss.
It had only been two days since Logan found out that he was not going to be a father. He never was. Carmen had faked her pregnancy, and all he wanted to know now, was why. Why would she go to such lengths to cause him so much pain?
“If there’s one thing I know, is that he will never forgive her for this.” Reina said and hugged herself.

The Billionaires Too (#2) 107 // Reunion

He was convinced that it would take months and a miracle for her to make another stop in Cape Town, and he was okay with that.He knew she was back over a week ago, but thought it best to stay out of the way, because he feared that she would catch on to the guilt in his eyes.The day she walked into his office with Sonya marked a beginning of a new era in his life, one too many times he was convinced that perhaps they could look past their differences and their past and start afresh, he believed they could be happy.

He still wished he had not opened that video after Jackson gave him that memory stick, but curiosity got the best of him.Antonina's house was the best hideout, no one knew he was there and no one would ever guess that he was there. At least that was what he thought until Cameron showed up on his doorstep
The Billionaires Too (#2) 105 // Brothers
Logan arrived in his home tired. It was around 8p.m., he had made sure that he was the last one to leave the office especially since it was spring and days were longer. He always left his office at 7p.m. when the sun set.Nodding at the butler as a form of greeting, he entered his house and walked to his sitting room, and his steps faltered as he took in the picture in front of him, and his blood boiled. Dirty dishes were on the coffee table, unfinished food and food crumbs covered his table. There were dirty socks on the large couch and empty cans covered the floor. "CAMERON!" He barked as he took heavy steps up the stairs.He dropped his suitcase and jacket on his bed before he strolled out of his room to continue the search for his brother. "CAMERON!" He barked and pushed Cameron's door harshly, causing it to bang against the wall, and then he froze at the door, pursing his lips together. Cameron jumped out
The Billionaires Too (#2) 104 // Face Off
The place was quiet.Too quiet for her comfort.She tried to open her eyes, but something restricted her from doing so. She had been blindfolded. She tried to move, but her arms and legs were bound.She tried to think of a solution, but nothing came up. For the first time in her life, she felt stupid. She felt useless.All her life, she had proven to be able by herself. She had proven that she did not need anyone to achieve her goals, neither did she need anyone to come to her rescue, especially men. However, on the contrary, it was quite the opposite. "Jorge!" She whispered, her voice inaudible from fear.She took a deep breath, the smell of urine and dirty water hitting her nostrils and causing her to cringe and choke on her saliva. She coughed, the process not helping at all as she tried to stabilize her breaths. Oh, Jorge! Whe
The Billionaires Too (#2) 103 // Identity Switch
As usual, Parker's Enterprises was busy. The ground floor was packed with employees moving up and down. Mosetsana and Natalia stood behind the reception desk, but had a new companion. It was a young looking coloured girl, probably around 20. She had shoulder-length black hair and big brown eyes. Unlike the two other women, she was very active and fast, and spoke too much. First day at work, and Natalia and Mosetsana were already tired of hearing her stories. "I'm just gonna take these to Mr Parker." She said hastily and hurried to the elevator.Natalia buried her face in her palms and groaned. "When is this day ending?!" She whined and looked at Mosetsana who just sighed and gave her the tell-me-about-it look."Thank God, it's lunch time." Mosetsana said and started packing her things. Natalia just sighed and nodded. She placed her elbow on the desk and leaned against her arm, staring at the door boringly as some of her col
