Andy got up from her bed with a groan when she heard the door bell chime. Slipping her feet into her kidskin slippers,she stole a glance at the bedside clock with a frown on her face.

It read,seven forty-five. The only person who could ever think of knocking on her door by this door of the day was Aliyah;even more so,Aliyah had a spare key with her,which also cleared the fact that someone else was at the door.

Yawning,she tied the belt of the robe she was wearing around her waist,before walking out of her room and down the stairs to open the door.

Andy blinked in surprise when she saw two men standing on the threshold. Did she forget to add that they were handsome men?

"Good evening miss Jensen?" The one who looks older,asked.

Andy swept her hair over her shoulders. "Yes. And you are?"

"Oh,sorry. "Again,the older one spoke. "I am William Mckade and this is my brother,Kaden Mckade. We--"

"Oh,sweet lord!" Andy exclaimed. "The same Mckade that owns,The pearly White Estate beside the bay?"

William flashed her a warm smile. "That would be me."

"Wow. What's brings you here by the way?"

This time it was Kaden who spoke up. "Actually,we are here because of your friend,Aliyah Johnson."

Andy's face closed down like a shutter at the mention of her friends name. Even though she heard that William Mckade was no Casanova and barely chase after women, she didn't trust him.

"Why do you want to talk about her?"

William and Kaden shared a look before speaking up. "Miss Jensen,what we are about to say need to be said in private,if you don't mind,may we come in?"

Suspicion crept over her mind,even as she stepped back to let them in. They could be killers for all she knew and she invited them in?

Could she be more stupid?

"Please have your seats." She gestured to the U shaped sofa. "What can I get you?"

"Nothing,we won't take much of your time we promise."

"Okay." She sank into the single arm chair across from them. "Hit me."

"So...."

~*~*~*~*~

Jamal check on the girls once more to make sure that they were asleep before checking on Aliyah,who was sitting up in bed with a small frown on her face.

Joining her on the bed,he wound his arms more tightly around her,so that her cheek was resting on his chest.

He felt so happy and glad that she was his. And not only that; he felt glad that she trusted him so much. But that happiness was running on the short lived term,with Mckade around them now.

How William came to know about Aliyah's existence still baffled him. Jamal felt stupid for coming to Camps Bay of all the places in South Africa. Didn't it say in most magazines, that William owned an estate here in Camps bay?

Jamal shrugged inwardly. It didn't matter if William came here or not. What really matter was that Aliyah does not know who he is,and she never would know.

"JJ,who was that man earlier?" Aliyah leaned back so she could see his face clearly.

"No one important." His arms tightened around her. "I want you to promise me something,Ally."

"What?"

"Promise me that,you would stay away from that man and any one aside from Andy."

Aliyah bit her lower lip. "Okay." She nodded. "But why?"

Jamal sighed. "He is dangerous. I met him once and heard that he murdered a lady who refused to go out with him. Plus,he's lewd. He is a pervert and beds women for the fun of it."

"Oh."

"So promise me that you would stay away from him,if he ever approach you?"

"I promise you. "Aliyah's hands framed each side of his face. "I love you Jamal. Only you,remember that."

"I love you too,Ali." He closed the distance between them and was about to kiss her when the door bell went off.

"Shit." Jamal cursed,earning a laugh from Aliyah,who fell back against the pillow with Mirth dancing in her eyes.

"Go and get it."

Jamal dropped a quick kiss on her lips,before going out of the room.

Aliyah sat up with a frown on Her face. She was not fine but the last thing she wanted was Jamal to be worried. She could have sworn that she saw a image of she and that man kissing on a beach,but the pain she experienced earlier made it difficult for her to try to remember the rest.

Aliyah shook her head. There was no way she knew that man from anywhere. And also,she was married to Jamal and they both have two beautiful daughters,which clearly shows that, there was no way she knew him.

And also,there is the way her body reacted to him when he was nearer. And the kiss... Her fingers flew to her mouth... He tasted familiar, it felt as if she had kissed him sometime before.

A silly grin tugged at her lips at the thought of Jamal's reaction when he came to know of the kiss.

Whistling an off key tune,Jamal turned the door knob and pulled the door open. The whistle died in his throat at the sight of Maddy and their boss standing on the porch.

He swallowed nervously as he stepped out and closed the door behind him.

"Maddy,Boss,what are you doing here?"

"You idiot," The boss growled with controlled anger. "I warned you to make sure that he never sees her,didn't I?"

"Yes,but--"

"Save your excuses Jamal. I came here to warn you. If he were to find out that Aliyah is Ella,then you would be in deep shit."

"I know. " He combed his fingers through his hair. "What do you suppose that I do? Should I leave for another country with her?"

Maddy gritted her teeth together in anger. "You're as dumb as a donkey. Running away would only mean that you confirmed their suspicions about her. "

"Then what would we do?"

The Boss smiled,showing off pearly white teeth. "Beat them at their own game."

Maddy and Jamal shared confused glances with each other. The boss glared at the both of them.

"Jamal,take care of Aliyah. Maddy take care of William."

"What about you?" Maddy scowled.

"I'll take good care of Lea."
