It was early on a Friday morning when the doorbell at the Billings’ beach house rang continuously. “I’m coming!” Anita shouted from the kitchen. She was the only one up; MJ and Jorge were still asleep. Anita rushed towards the door in her apron and opened the door to reveal two faces that she had spent the previous day with. “Hey, please come in!” She said happily. “Good morning.” Jameson kissed her cheek and walked past her, and then Reina greeted and hugged her before she walked in. Anita led them to the sitting room. “Where do I put these?” Jameson asked, referring to the bowl that he was holding. “I’ll take that.” Anita said and took the bowl to the kitchen where she was still preparing breakfast. “Make yourselves comfortable, breakfast is almost ready!” She shouted from the kitchen. “Are we too early?” Reina asked. Anita stood

Logan Parker did not want to hear anything at all. He did not want to listen to anyone. All that he wanted was to find MJ before anything could happen to her. It had not been long since her kidnapping, so chances were that the kidnappers were still around. They could not have gone that far since the police were contacted immediately and we're currently searching for the car. Logan suspected that the same person that tried to run MJ over was the same person that kidnapped her. His main lead now was the tinted car that was spotted on the CCTV footage, but it was not enough. Jorge had told him that May was missing and that she was kidnapped from Sonya’s apartment. His story was not convincing, but Logan decided to use what he had. Being a man of power and authority, Logan Parker managed to get SAPS to set roadblocks as soon as possible. All roads were blocked. From entrances and exit points of Cape Town and Western Cape to harbours and airports. 

Jorge rushed into the hospital and increased his pace as he approached the reception desk, his heart hammering hard against his chest as he imagined all sorts of outcomes. “Hi!” He greeted breathlessly. “My name is Jorge Billings; I’m here to see Miss Smith!” He said anxiously. The receptionist nodded and typed on the computer, and then she fixed her glasses and looked up with a small smile. "Mr Billings, please follow me." She left the desk and led him through a long passage. The sight of nurses and patients and the smell of the hospital made Jorge feel uneasy. Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital was a place that held some bad memories for him and MJ. This was the place where his sister was born, the same place where he was told that his mother had died when he was seven, the same place where he first held his sister in his arms. As if sensing his tension, the woman spoke up. “Your mom was such a ni

The next morning was different. The Billings' residence felt cold with silence and tension. No one knew what to say. Everyone had to be careful of what they said. They were all currently seated in the kitchen with the exception of MJ. "Mm…Jameson, since you are working now and earn better, you can build me a house like this, just to have a kitchen like this one." Antonina said, trying to break the silence. Jorge's house was very huge; it was a double story beach house. They had a sitting room, a lounge, a dining room, a very spacious kitchen that could accommodate the entire royal family and still leave enough space for movement. “Sure, Ants.” Jameson replied quietly. “Jorge, did you get any sleep at all?” Reina asked. Everyone could see that Jorge had not slept at all. He spent the rest of his night, or rather a morning, going through his CCTV footage. Anita had found him sitting in his office, stari

“Yes, that’s right!” Carmen laughed. “I know who you are.” She smirked. “Darn! You had us all fooled, you smooth bitch!” She continued to laugh, placing both her hands on the table for support, feeling proud to have MJ Billings at her mercy. At least that was what she thought. She had no idea what MJ Billings had in store for her. “And I underestimated you.” MJ said, sitting up straight. You have it bad! MJ thought. Carmen was willing to do anything to keep Logan that she did not realize the mistake she had made, but even if she did, it would have been too late. Not only did MJ Billings have leverage on her now, she practically had her life in her hands. But like the snake she was, MJ kept quiet, preying on her like silent venom. “And I proved you wrong.” Carmen said proudly. MJ studied her. She was a fair girl, beautiful beyond doubt. She was wearing a short brown b
