Excerpt from
One Way or Another
From God knows where, I manage a smile. We lock eyes across the prison glass and for once, I do not avert them.
“Say my name, Arena.”
“T…Tom.”
He closes his eyes and drops his voice. “Say it again.”
“Tom,” I whisper in a hoarse voice.
With his eyes closed, he smiles and moves his head around as if he’s listening to beautiful music on a harp or violin.
“One more time. Say, I love you, Tom.”
I can do this. Just stay focused.
“I love you, Tom.”
“Now say, I wanna fuck you, Tom.”
I hesitate.
His eyes fly open. “Say it!” he hisses. “Say it. Say, I wanna fuck you, Tom.”
“I...I wanna …fuck you, Tom.”
A smile lights his face. “Around 9 p.m.,” he whispers, his eyes still closed.
My body leans in, hanging onto his every word.
His head bobs around, his eyes still closed. “Yep, 9 it is.”
Hope surges in me. “T…tonight?”
His nod is so slight I have to ask again. “Tonight, Tom? You promise?”
He opens his eyes and nods.
“Thank you,” I say, relief surging through me.
“You will visit me in prison every fortnight, understand? That’s every alternate Friday. Don’t get it wrong, Arena Botha.”
My head bobs as he talks.
“We have a deal, right?”
“We have a deal,” I say with all the enthusiasm I can muster. “Yes! Yes!”
His eyes linger on my breasts. “The next time you visit, wear red.” His eyes remain glued to my breasts. “And wear a skirt. A short one. And wear your hair up. I don’t like it this way.”
“Sure. Sure!”
It takes every ounce of self-control not to run out of the prison.

PS: If you have enjoyed Payback and One Way or Another, you will probably enjoy Betrayed. It too is a story about revenge.
Here’s what one of my readers posted about Betrayed:
“This book captured my attention immediately and kept me up late at night until it was finished. It was heartbreaking at times and packed with so many emotions. I found myself sometimes laughing and reaching for tissues at other times.”
