Sex. Extortion and Reconciliation - B.M. Thoresson
The story is about an elderly gentleman named Jeffrey.
Jeffrey’s favourite holiday spot is Durban.
Jeffrey met a young girl on the beach front, and the experience changed his life and that of the little girl and her mother forever. He uncovered a web of sex and extortion, and is reconciled with the past.
Chapter 1
Durban is one of the major holiday destinations for hundreds of thousands of people over every holiday period. People of all races and religions make Durban their favourite destination. They come from all over the world and the country. The beginning of December in Durban is like a mad house because all the businesses get ready for the influx of tourists.
Jeffrey Thomas was taking a stroll along the beach front. It was after eight at night and the weather was nice and cool. The heat of the day keeps Jeffrey off the beachfront when he then visits the different malls. The beachfront covered a long stretch of beach. Over the years, the walkway grew from a short distance to cover the whole area from the snake park right to the other side of Addington Hospital.
A lot of people used the cool of the night to visit the beach front. They brought their children down and walked on the beach while some would go swimming while some would surf even though it was dangerous to do so at night. The night life on the beach front was constantly changing to attract more crowds down to the beach front.
The rows of Hotels along the way would have been booked out for the Christmas period months ago. The small vendors stayed open until late at night to accommodate the late visitors to the beach front. The waves broke up on the beach a short distance away from where the people walked. It used to be very unsafe to walk alone on the beach front because of muggers, but with the changing of the years the police increased their presence and crime dropped very sharply.
Jeffrey is sixty years old and in very good health. His wife passed away five years ago and he is touring around the country. He was born in Johannesburg. He went to school there and lived there. His father died when Jeffery was only sixteen years old. He had no brothers or sisters. This situation forced Jeffery to leave school without completing high school so that he could go work to help his mother put food on the table. His friend’s gave him a hard time for kicking up school, but he had no option.
Jeffrey started an apprenticeship as an electrician and used this opportunity to further his studies. Jeffrey was in his third year as an apprentice when his mother died. Her death hit him harder than his father’s death. Not that they did not get along, on the contrary, Jeffrey and his father were very good friends.
As an apprentice, Jeffrey was transferred to Durban to help on a project that the work had started. When Jeffrey arrived in Durban he knew nobody. He hired a small flat in the Point area. Although it was a dangerous part of Durban, Jeffrey loved to be close to the harbour. Jeffrey enjoyed the nightlife. During the week, he would work twelve to sixteen hours a day, but when the weekend came, he visited places like Fathers Moustache and The Smugglers Inn. While he lived there he made friends with a young man who also worked on the project. The man’s name was Tom James.
Jeffrey was stationed there for one year and when the project was completed, he was then transferred back to Johannesburg. The company paid him a large bonus which he used to buy shares and a small plot of twelve acres just outside Johannesburg in a place called Four Ways.
Jeffrey completed his apprenticeship and his studies and he opened a small electrical business. He got married and his wife had two children, a boy named Peter and a girl named Susan. Jeffrey had a house built on the plot and commuted to work from there every day.
After the birth of his daughter, his wife was diagnosed with cancer. Jeffrey then bought another house in Johannesburg where they could be close to the hospitals and doctors in case his wife had need of them.
The children grew up getting anything that they wanted. With their mother’s condition, they used every excuse to be away from the house and they gave their mother very little attention. To them, her condition was put on so that she could get all the attention. Jeffrey knew his wife had cancer and stood by her. He never went out and always took her health into consideration in every aspect of their lives.
His children grew up and got married. Jeffrey bought them each a house for a wedding present. They moved away from Johannesburg as jobs were becoming scarce there. They made very little contact with Jeffrey or his wife. Jeffrey did not blame them for that, but himself because he paid more attention to his sick wife than to them.
Jeffrey was fifty-five years old when his wife passed away. The children came to the funeral with every excuse under the sun as to why they did not come to visit their mother while she was still alive. Suddenly filled with guilt they both wanted him to come and live with them. But Jeffrey declined their offer and said that he was going to sell everything and start touring the country.
Jeffrey had bought gold shares when he started his own business and he owned a lot of them. With the prices that they had become, and the money he got for the sale of the business and the house in Johannesburg, Jeffrey put over twenty million rands into his banking account. He rented the plot out with the understanding that he could return at any time. He had a small two bedroom cottage built on one side of the plot for the day he wanted to stop roaming. The garden was so designed that it gave privacy to both dwellings.
He bought a new car and started to visit one town after the other. He would stay in some towns for a week or two so as to see what they had to offer. Sometimes he would return to one of the towns he had previously visited because he liked the town. But his favourite town was Durban. He had no answer as to why he liked Durban, but he did. He felt that something was drawing him back there all the time. But he did not want to live in Durban.
Jeffrey would visit with one of his children for a day or two then get into his car and ride off. Jeffrey did not feel welcome in either of their homes. Their children were unmannered and they just wanted money from him when he visited. He did not mind buying presents for them, but what he bought was never good enough. His visits became day visits so that he did not have to sleep over.
Jeffrey was on his way to a tourism company in Johannesburg to arrange a tour to Israel for him. His dream had always been to visit Israel before he died. But when he got to the company he looked at the destination boards on display in the window. He turned around and got back into his car and headed down
