Chapter 32: Trouble welcomes itself in
"What do you mean we are in Johannesburg? How in the hell did we get here and why are we even here?"

"Relax. Have a seat and give me a chance to explain before blowing my head off after every two minutes." Pushing her down by the shoulders, his masculine strength forced her to go down. "Don't touch me!" she stood up again. "I don't get why dad would split me and Ziesha. It doesn't make sense."

Smart. She still continued to surprise him. "It was my idea...again. And you just wouldn't understand why love. Your world is uncomplicated remember."

"Dino, I don't have time for this...okay. I need to-I have to talk to Ziesha. And my dad." She said between pauses.

Yeah, he already knew that this was going to be an issue. Because she made everything an issue. She was better off handcuffed to that damn chair, maybe even with her mouth taped over. He did contemplate that many times in his mind. Just didn't have the balls to do it though. She was too fragile to hurt.

"Meera, you can't make any phonecalls. I need you to understand me. I do the talking and the checking up on your sister and father. Those men-the man-whose blackmailing your father to get revenge on Randal is dangerous. You need to understand that.

"So my dad has to fake freak out?" Not really. "Yeah," he lied again, "he's gonna pretend like he has no idea what's going on." "And how will the media know that we kidnapped? I mean, someone's gotta contact them right...with proof?" And her intelligence and beauty just pulled him in even deeper.

"Ryan's gonna capture a video of us just now so make it look real yeah?" Dino intentionally omitted the part where Caleb had already done a video of him yesterday since he was alone and had already said that it would be impossible doing stuff with crazy Ziesha around. Because unlike Dino, Caleb would never tie up his girl.

"Wait, Ryan?" "The guy that spoke to you moments ago," Dino did improper introductions. Meera's eyebrows creased as she tried to put it all together in her head. "Ryan? I saw him at the beach...he wanted to attack me..." Meera shot out a I'm-such-a-fool laugh. "I'm guessing that was planned too."

He smiled. "It was for good purposes princess. I...
