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

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

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

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.

55 // Exchange
How many times was he going to fall for her lies before he accepted that was exactly who she was, a deceiver? Logan felt like an idiot. He could not believe that this happened a few hours after he told her that he loved her, and she did not waste another second before betraying him. But did that mean he hated her? No. And that alone made him even more furious. What was she planning? She sounded like she was ready to dive into the lion's den headfirst. He was mad at her, but a huge part of him wondered if she was in danger. He needed to get out of here, but how? He scanned around the room, he was stuck inside a deep pool, his hands tied behind his back on the unmoving chair that had been drilled into the pool floor. The place looked familiar as he had been here before all those years ago, except, it had been lively then. It was not a creepy basement then, it was paradise, a place where him and Jorge could get lost in the moment whenever he came around. H

56 // Forgotten
Sonya frantically paced up and down the hall, waiting for the nurses to finish whatever it was they were doing in there. She could not believe what Shannon had just told her. Jorge was awake. Had it been weeks, months? She had long count, all she knew was that she had waited for this moment from the very first day. She prayed day and night that she would walk into that room and be welcomed by his alluring eyes and boyish smile, but it always seemed like a far-fetched dream, the doctors were convinced that he would never wake up, they thought she was holding on to false hope. But then yet again, God had proven them wrong. Her eyes zeroed on the officers at the door and she felt like a truckload of bricks was thrown at the base of her stomach. Zoe, she thought dreadfully. Zoe Botha would want to question Jorge the moment she heard that he was awake. What she sent sent him into shock with her questions and he slips back into a coma? The woman was desperate

57 // The Past Behind
Leaving the hospital felt like a drag, like she was just putting one foot after the other for the sake of movement. They had to pick up the kids from school, Lola had said. Shannon had the right mind to tell her that she did not have any kids, but she kept her lips sealed. She did not want to leave Sonya by herself, especially with that scary guy she was with. It was so sad seeing her so shattered, Shannon could not imagine how she would feel if the man she loved more than life itself could not recognise her. Sonya had been parading the hospital from the very first day without leaving his side, and the first thing he asked her when he woke up was who she was. A part of her was glad that Lola had dragged her out of the hospital, she would not have been able to sit through the torture of watching the poor woman in such deep pain no medical measures could heal. But at the same time, she was not looking forward to sitting through a ride with her two nieces talking no

58 // Signed, Sealed, Divorced
He had signed the divorce papers. It was finally over. It was strange though, most people usually celebrated after their divorce, celebrating their newfound freedom. But Kyle Davids did not feel free, nor happy. He felt empty, like he had just hit a brick wall. What was he free from? He had never really had the taste of freedom, so what was it? It felt like he had been thrown a blank page without a pen and told to rewrite his own story all over again. He had thought a lot about what he was going to do after his divorce, but his mind always proved to be useless. He thought of going to his place and playing music on loud with his headphones just to shut the rest of the world out, but he knew it would most likely not go the way, he knew his parents were going to come to his place and congratulate him for finally breaking free from their chains. As much as he hated to admit, this divorce was not just ending the marriage and relationship between him and

59 // Divorce Party
The past few weeks alone had taught Lolita Leibrandt that no matter how good you are to a person, that would never be enough reason to stop then from hurting you. She admitted that she was not the best person, but she tried to be good for the people she held dear. Logan was the perfect example, she was always there for him through thick and thin, but he did not appreciate that and had turned his back on her since the day MJ Billings showed her face. And now her husband was doing the same thing. The only time she had ever been disloyal to him was with Logan, something that had been going on for years until recently. Otherwise, she had always been a good wife to him, she did everything to make him happy, and she would give her life for him - something she had already done in the past. That said a lot because she knew deep in her soul that she would never risk her life for Logan Parker. Her angry reflection stared back at her on the vanity mirror as she applied the

60 // Uninvited
Sasha listened to the phone as it went to voicemail again and she growled, clutching the phone tightly in her palm, fighting the urge to smash it against the wall. She turned on the screen again, her eyes running over the text over and over again as if it would change the longer she stared at it, but it remained the same and only looked more and more frightening with each second. Her mind ran to the basement, staying on the chair in that pool, and she shuddered, closing her eyes to shut those thoughts. She could hear that Kyle was still on the phone in the kitchen, while her own phone sent her into a panic, his ringing phone provided her a chance to escape from his questions, Kyle refused to let her get away with freeing Logan. She would decide later if she wanted to give him answers or not, but right now they had much bigger problems. She headed to the kitchen where Kyle was speaking in a quiet voice, and she stood beside the entrance to listen in. “Ha
