Free Good Morning from Paradise by Kat Jackson Page A

he wouldn’t risk his livelihood for a girl
like that. She started spending more time with ‘Michael’, the owner of one of
the seediest sex joints I’ve ever come across, and I’ve been buying out places
for a long time now. I don’t even think Michael is his real name but that’s
what his associates call him, he’s my latest project but he’s proving to be to
be a slippery sucker. I invited him to the dinner party so that he could meet
the people who could help him to upgrade his business, help him to get a better
perspective of what his place could be like so that he would agree and sign the
contract and then I could legally remove him. Unfortunately, he was more
distracted by Rachael than he was interested in business but he’s slowly coming
around. You’ve got to understand, Ella, Michael is about as low as you can get,
he has no morals, no ethics, no regard for the women he holds at his club. Most
of them are so reliant on drugs they have no idea where or even who they are.
He supplies the drugs for a cut of their wage, the men who go in there can pretty
much do what the hell they like to the women. Rachael would have been his next
victim. He dates the women for a while, spends money on them, time with them,
gets them used to the place then he gets them hooked on the drugs and bam, they
go from love of his life to pieces of meat in a matter of weeks. I couldn’t let
that happen to Rachael, I hoped she would realise what he was like after a few
weeks with him but she didn’t seem to care, she saw the money and that’s all. I
stepped in when he introduced drugs and started to talk of sharing her with his
colleagues. Her demise would have been swift from there on out so I took her
away from him. Rachael left Daniel for Michael that day Ella, not me. He
told her he was going to take her on vacation but she didn’t know what he
really had in store for her. I had one of my drivers pick her up and rather
than taking her to the airport he brought her to me. I told her the harsh truth
about Michael and his plans, she told me she was pregnant and wanted rid of it.
I promised to help her if she promised not to contact Michael again. Luckily
she hadn’t been on the drugs long enough to suffer any strong withdrawals or
harm the baby she was carrying. I didn’t want another young woman to suffer
like Anita had. Michael has no idea where she is. Well, he didn’t until she
pulled that stunt with Daniel. Now I’ve got some damage limitation to do,
Michael won’t be happy that she went back to Daniel especially if he knows
about the pregnancy. Daniel doesn’t know about Michael, about the months of
betrayal before I stepped in, there is a very high likely hood that the baby
she is carrying isn’t Daniels.” I don’t know if he continued because the
ringing in my ears drowned him out, I started to sweat and then everything went
black. I woke up on the floor of the café to hear Jonathan ordering someone to
bring me something to eat and drink.
    “Ella,
are you ok? You really need to eat. I’ve ordered you something. Can you stand?”
I nodded slightly and he helped me back into my seat, the food arrived quickly
and I ate like I hadn’t eaten for years, it might not be his baby, I might get
him back, oh my god I might get him back. I needed a plan, obviously I couldn’t
tell Brit but Amber would help me. Kyle would help me. I couldn’t just go
barging in like a jealous ex, that’s for sure. If Rachael is such a bad egg she
will have a plan, she has already convinced him that the baby is his.
The last thing I want is for her to feel threatened enough to contact Michael
again. From the sounds of it, that would only result in trouble for Dan and for
Rachael. As much as I hated her, I didn’t think she deserves a life of being
drugged up and handed around to satisfy all of his friends against her will.
No, I need her to admit the affair and the fact that the baby may not be his to
him without actually involving
