Sibongile was 20 years old, her parents along with her

brother died in a car accident when she was 2 years old.

She then stayed with her father's sister, her aunty with
her two daughters. They stayed in a village called
sekororo, near Tzaneen. She have matric but with no
money to apply, she didn't make it to varsity, to her
aunty she was nothing but a slave. She would spend the
whole day cleaning, washing and cooking well her
cousins watch TV.. her life changed when she met
Katlego, at least she can smile, know that she is loved.
But did that lust forever? Katlego had everything he
needed, his family owned companies in Gauteng.. He
never worried about going to university, he have a job
waiting for him whenever he is ready.. He loved and
helped Sibongile with everything.. but will that be for
ever? Their life changed when Katlego decided is time for
him to work and they move to Gauteng..
There is always a first step to success or to a wrong path
and always take the wrong path as a lesson..
Sibongile 's POV
It was around 4 when I woke up to prepare myself.. this
is the day i planned to run away with Katlego so I had to
wake up before anyone could.. I got a massage from
Katlego saying he is outside so I climbed out of the
window because the door is too loud they might here me.
Katlego parked his car out side, I also jumped out the
fence and got into his car..
Me: Oh finally..
Him: You ready baby?
Me: I have always been..
Him: let's change our lives forever..
Me: We sure are.. I can't wait those witches will miss me
in less than 2 hours..

1
Him: They will.. do they know how to cook?
Me: Not even to fry an egg..
We laughed.. we had fun alone the way, it was now 13:00
when we reached Pretoria and I decided to call my aunty
just to let her know that am alive and happy.. I called her
and with only two rings she answered..
Her<hello>
Me<Hello aunty is Sibongile>
Her<Oko kae ngwana ke wena? Onagana gore mosomo
Omo kana otlo etira?>
Me<Ke gauteng and just forget about me cuz am not
coming back>
Her<Wa reng? Ge legore o bolela ka eng?>
Me<You heard me.. am gone and I will never come back,
you should find yourself another slave>
And with that I disconnected is not like I will ever go to
that place never. I know have to focus on my future, at
least Katlego promised to take me to school and I can
complete my wish of being an accountant. We finally
arrived at our apartment it was so beautiful with a
kitchen,diningroom and two bedroom with bathrooms.
Am going to enjoy being here.. I went into the bed room
and lay on the bed, it was a big queen size bed..
Katlego: The way you laid i can take you right there..
Me: I really need to rest..
Katlego: Come on bee
He came and lay on top of me and started kissing me, I
deepened the kiss and he started to take my clothes off..
he then got his hand right there between my lags and
started to rub my p**sy So gentle until I came. He then
inserted his d**k in side and gosh even though is not the
first time but his cock feels so big in me and really enjoy.
He started moving in and out giving me the pleasure I
always wanted..
He started pounding faster until he came inside me and
we just slept like that..

Sibongile's POV
Is been two years now staying together with Katlego, am
now doing my second year in Unisa all thanks to my bee
for paying my fees. The only thing that bothers me is that
from early this year, my man have been acting up. He
goes to work at around 6 and his time of coming home is
always different. I mean he used to be home by 7 but
now he get here by midnight claiming he was in office
and whenever his home on weekends he is always on his
laptop. He hardly touch or talk to me.
It was Friday morning, bee is already gone to work so I
woke up to go check my mails from unisa. I have been
expecting to get my assignments but is already July
without getting anything from the school I mean we
already started with the new semester and they haven't
send me anything.. I went to my laptop and check my
emails..
And to my surprise I got an email saying I have to pay my
last semester's fees to get into the second semester!!
What???? Is this a joke or what? Bee always pay my fees.
I went to take a shower and wore my blue skin jeans with
white redbet t-shirt and white all-star. I planned to go to
bee's office. Oh by bee I mean Katlego that is how we call
each other. I got out to get a cab, he never wanted to
teach me how to drive so I have no plan but to take a
cab. It took me 10min to get to his office I went in
without nocking and he was sitting on his chair with his
head on the table. Gosh he look so tried..
"Hey bee" I went to his desk and.
"Hey"
"You look so tried" I started massaging his shoulders and
he moaned. " You needed this"
" I so do, anyway what brings you here?"
I was about to answer when the other lady opened the
door without nocking.. and bee quickly took my hands off

3
his shoulders.. She came near the dask wearing a black
short leather skirts with a top showing her cleavage..
"Katlego you have a meeting in 15min with the
accountant and I already did some reservations at the
restaurant down town." She said and glare at me and
walked out.
"what was that all about" I said pointing at the door.
"What"
"Why the hell did you take my hands off you?"
"We are in the office and that is unprofessional"
" Unprofessional?? Since when do I have to be
professional in your office? Was having sex on your dask
professional?"
" Bee am not in the mood" He stood up
" And is her calling you by your name professional? Oh
God even her dress code.. is that professional?
" I have to prepare for a meeting, if you don't mind can
you please tell me why you are here"
"So what am asking is not important? Ok I came here to
ask you about my fees, I got an email saying I didn't pay
last semester.."
"Do you remember paying?" He said that looking straight
into my eyes.
"What did you just say? You the one who is paying and I
want to know if there is some misunderstanding with the
university"
" I didn't pay"
"Why? You have to pay bee I won't be able to write final"
" So what bee? You can finish and then leave me for
someone else? Am not doing that am sorry find someone
stupid enough to fall on your traps not me"
" What?"
"You heard me and if you can excuse me I have a
meeting to go to"

4
I didn't know what to say, I never thought bee think of
me in such a way. He took his suit and car keys and his
laptop bag..
" After you" he said that directing me to go out..
I went out and he locked his office and went away leaving
me there trying to adjust what just happened..
Katlego's POV
I went away and got into my car. I drove to the
restaurant near by for my meeting. My relationship with
bee is falling apart i think she is not good enough. I
mean she is not full of life, she doesn't have plans and
she doesn't satisfy me on bed this days. Since I started
dating Nancy, the girl that came to my office, I never had
sex or made love to bee and is like 3months now.. Nancy
is my p.a and she gives me all the pleasure a man can
dream about, she do it like a porn star, she is full of life.
And the reason why I stopped paying bee's fees is
because I no longer see any future with her, I don't see
my self marring her. Yes she is beautiful with big ass and
curves but what is the use when she can't cook proper
meals? All she knows is what she used to eat back
home.. And Nancy can give me all a man can ask for.
Always have a room for disappointments.. Not everything
will go the way you planned.
Sibongile's POV
I got in the house and start cleaning. I can't say am hurt,
i still can't believe what happened today.. I don't know if
it was a dream or what? My bee can't do that to me
never, he was just joking. I finish cleaning and cooked
stew beef, cabbage and pap. It was already 4 when i got
into the shower. And I heard the front door opening,
which means bee is home and is too early. I quickly
finished up and wore my addidas shorts and t-shirts and
went to the seating room where I found him seating on
the couch..

5
"Your home early"
"As you can see"
"Bee I think we need to talk" I went and seat next to him
on the couch.
"We surely have to" he turned and looked at me " bee you
know I love you but this is not working"
"What are talking about?"
" Our relationship bee, you think I don't know your
plans? You will leave me when you start working, forget
about me, forget everything that I did for you and look for
someone else"
" Tell me that your joking!!" I couldn't believe no this is
not happening not now..
"I wish I can say am kidding but no am for real.. bee I
can't continue paying your fees, you have to make a plan
on your own"
" Bee if that is really what you think about me, then yes
stop paying but don't tell me our relationship is not
working!! Don't"
" So then we have nothing to talk about" he stood up and
went into our room, I just realised that I was crying all
along. Why would be do this to me? Is it about that girl
in his office? I would kill anyone that comes between as I
swear... I went in our room and he was in the bathroom,
he came out few minutes later and wore blue jeans and
white t-shirt with black leather jacket and black nake
sneakers. And he looked all charming he is tall,
muscular body and so handsome.. I was so jealous he is
really about to go out without me!!
" Going out?" I asked
"As you can see"
" Can I come with you?"
"No and you can lock the door"
" Why? Are you going to sleep out? Bee why are you
doing this to me?"
" Because I nologer see future with you, you think I don't

6
know that you have been sleeping with someone? What
do you think made me to stop touching you ha?
"Are you accusing me of sleeping around?"
". No am just reminding you"
I didn't know what to say I just broke down, what ever he
have saying doesn't hurt like being accused of something
I never done. I don't even have a friend around here who
would I be sleeping with? He took his phone and car keys
and went out..
Katlego's POV
God did I have to lie by accusing her of cheating?? I
really want to be with Nancy and i can do anything to
have her.i drove to her apartment. I got there and nocked
and she opened..
" Hey bby" she said and kissed me..
"Missed you"
" I missed you too, come on let's go and sit down" we
went and sit on the couch
" Can I prepare anything for you to eat?"
"No I already had something"
"Not that you ate that bitch's food?"
" No come on"
" I still don't understand why you still staying with her
cuz the last time I checked you said you want to be with
me"
" The thing is she doesn't have anywhere to go and I can't
throw her out the streets"
" So you care? Let's buy our own house then."
"And who will pay for that apartment?"
" She will figure it all out she is a woman"
" You mean I must leave her alone?"
" Yes leave her in that house and I tell you by the time
you start worrying she will be having some plans on how
she is going to pay rent and buy food"
"I will have to think about that"
"What are you going to think about?? don't you love
7
me??"
" I do baby come on, let's stop talking about that is kind
of depressing"
" Ok let talk this language then" she said that kissing me
and she pushed me to lay on the couch. She unzipped
my jeans and took my d**k out and oh she inserted into
her mouth and did I blow until I came ohh god nothing is
refreshing like this.. she took my hand leading me to her
bedroom.. I really have to get rid of Sibongile this is how
a man should be treated and I can't wait to wake up to
this everyday..
Sibongile's POV
It was Monday morning i was so stressed, I couldn't sleep
for 3days now. Katlego never came home since Friday. I
was sitting on the floor looking to myself on the long
length mirror, my eyes were so red due to lack of sleep
and crying. There was toilet papers all around me am
such a mess. I got up and went into the bathroom, i
prepared my bath and got in the tub to relax my muscles
but the thought of him always make me cry.. I really
have to do something I can't sit here and cry well
someone might be having pleasure with my husband I
can't I have to go and look for him.. I quickly bathed,
wore blue boyfriend jeans with a black bodysuits and
black pumps, my hair was a mess I covered them up
with a black cap. There's no other places I know that he
may go to, since is Monday I will go to his office. I took a
cab and it took me 10min to get at his office. Most of the
people working here knows me, I went to the reception
lady..
"Hi Thandi"
"Morning Mrs Williams" most of them think we are
married so they call me with his second name. Katlego is
a coloured his father is white and his mother is black..
"Is my husband in?"
"Yes but he just called saying I shouldn't allow anyone

8
in, he must be busy.."
"Never mind that I will just go and check, see you"
"Ohk"
I went into the elevator and press his floor number 30
which is the last floor. He is the CEO of this company so
he get the best.. I got out going straight to his office,
there was another receptionist so I didn't bother talking
to her cuz I know she was going to tell me the same thing
as Thandi said.. I opened the door without nocking and
the first office was his p.a's office, I was about to open his
door when I heard someone moaning calling Katlego's
name.. I went closer placing my ear on the door but the
door slowly opened, which means it was not closed. And
what I saw just made me weak my bee busy having sex
with someone on his desk...
I just got weak, it felt like a dream that I don't want to
wake up to. Watching him busy forcing himself in her felt
like he is taking my heart out. I couldn't speak I just
stood there like a statue I dropped my handbag down
and the sound of my phone hitting the floor made him
turn to look at me..
" What the fuck are you doing here"he said that angry, he
never raised his voice on me but he just did. I didn't
reply. He took his pants up fixing himself and the lady
also got up and she was the p.a the one I saw the last
time I was here..
" I said what the hell are you doing here" he shouted
bringing me out of my thoughts..
" I came to check on you"
" Am I a child? That you need to follow around"
" Bee what are you doing this to me? So this is what you
have been doing all along, sleeping with this slat?
"What did you just call me?" The girl asked..
"You heard me or do you want me to repeat myself?"
"Kindly do and I will.."
"You will do what sl.." I was still talking looking at her
9
when a slap from bee took me by surprise.. he slapped
me!!
"Call her that once again and I will slap you one more
time"
" You slapped me?"
" And I will do it again, you know I was trying to be kind
but your pushing me. Is over Sibongile and this lady you
just called a slat is my girlfriend.
" What?? Are you breaking up with me bee"
" Don't call me that am Katlego to you, and get out of
here now. You should be worrying about how your going
to pay rent and buy food and leave me alone"
I walked out, I was in tears. I couldn't even see my way
clearly when I bumped into someone.
" Are you blind?" The lady said
"Am sorry i was not looking"
" Oh my God your crying!! What will it be that bothers a
beautiful lady like you"
" Nothing am sorry can I go now" she was blocking my
way and holding my hand.
"Yes you can but can I please be your friend, I know your
not on a good state to talk but you can give me your
number"
"Ok" I gave her my number, not that I want a friend but I
was not in the mood to talk..
"Your name?"
"Sibongile"
"Ok am Lilian you can call me Lili and I will call you
Bongi and girl nothing I mean nothing worth your tears"
I just noded and walk away.. who talk like this with
people you don't know?
I walked home I wanted to clear my mind there was so
much in my head, if bee leaves me how am I going to
survive? Am not going home never. I can't go to be a
slave again, I must find a job, doesn't matter what kind
but at least I must get something but will I be able to pay

10
rent with the kind of job I will find? That crip 5200 per
month!! I also have to find a cheap apartment. My life is
now a mess, he should have left me home than to come
and treat me like this. If someone would have told me
that he will leave me, I would have laughed at them. I
thought he want me to be his wife, be with me forever..
By the time I got home was 3 in the afternoon, I just
went straight to bed. I need to sleep I was still crying
inside but with no tears.. I cried myself to sleep..
Sibongile's POV
I woke up early in the morning, decided to go look for a
job. I got into the shower and freshen up and wore a
black pencil skirt with black and white blouse and black
pumps.. I just tied up my hair to a bun, I have pretty
long natural hair. I took my ID, matric certificate and
went out. I went to internet cafe to type my cv. I only had
R1700 saved from last month and this is when I wished a
saved every month.. I did like 10 cv and walked to hand
them over. I have no experience, no qualification and am
here looking for a job. Is now the 18th only 12days left
for me to find another place. I was lost with my thoughts
when my phone started to ring and it was unsaved
number..
<Hello>
<hey bongi>
<hey Lily>
< Am so glad that am the only one who shortened your
name.>
<you really are>
<So how can I meet you, I really liked you and I don't
know anyone around here>
< Am..I will text you my address>
<Do so please am bored>
<Are you not working?>
<No my parents doesn't want me to, they say I must
graduate first>

11
<Oh that's good, anyway I have to go I will send you the
address but today am not home, do come tomorrow>
<Ohk by>
I disconnected and send her my address, I was so hungry
and am in the middle of the town. I should have taken
some lunch box, I now have to spend. I walk to KFC at
least is cheap, I went an ordered an set down. Was
waiting for my order when that slat and the other bitch
came an sit just on the same table with me.. I just looked
at them.
"This is how you spend your time?Worsting my man's
money?" She said and i didn't reply..
"Now you don't know how to talk?? Let me tell you, you
were so stupid to think a successful man like Katlego will
marry you. You don't have dreams, no future there is no
such thing as house wife nowadays. Man want an
inspiration someone to help them pay bills not just to sit
down and spend their money. And you know what
Katlego is not coming back to you, am going to make
sure of that.
He maybe now be on that apartment taking his
belongings to my apartment and we will soon buy a
house"
" So!! What do you want me to do" I was starting to get
angry if this bitch doesn't go away I swear I will loose it
and beat the hall out of her..
" No I was just enlightening you, you need to wake up an
know your line.. if that what you do, going after rich man
to feed yourself then you belong somewhere in Jo'burg
where hoes like you stay"
" You just called me a hoe"
" Oh yea I did"
I slapped her, she was about to slap back when I take
her down and throw some few punch on her face and
this guy working there took me of her.. I just went and

12
take my order and walked out. I was no longer in the
mood so I took a cab home..
I found Katlego's car outside, that bitch was right about
him being here. I went in and found him sitting on the
couch. I just passed him and went in the kitchen to wash
my hands and eat. He came in after me..
" You bitch!! You slapped my girlfriend?."
" No I punched her"
"You did what"
" You should tell her to stop following me around or talk
to me, I will kick her tiny little ass again if she does"
" So let's see if you will punch me too"
He took a step coming to me and i took a step back..
" Katlego please don't do this, she is the one who started
and I had to fight"
" Yes am also going to start and you should fight"
I run to the dining room and to my surprise the door was
locked, he really want to beat me just because of that
bitch!! I could see in his eyes that he nologer love me and
will seriously hurt me if he want to.. he came and took
his belt out, I tried to run but I fall down on the floor and
thats when I hate wearing pumps. He came and started
beating me up, I screamed, I bugged him to stop but he
didn't I just hugged myself protecting my face..
" Am sorry I will not do that again, please stop your
hurting me, katlego stop" I shouted and he finally
stopped I looked at him and broke down, I couldn't
believe that is him I felt like is someone I never mat. Not
the guy I fell in love with. He just gave me an evil look
and walk out living me there on the floor, feeling pain all
over my body.
Katlego the guy that used to make me feel so special,
showed me love, protected me, promised me heaven on
earth is now beating me, calling me names and broke up
with me.. I got up and laid on the couch and cried my
heart out..
13
Katlego's POV
I went straight to Nancy's apartment after beating the
hell out of that bitch, I can't believe I hate her this much
that I was not able to stop beating her. I found Nancy
sleeping on her bed she had an red eye and her face was
red. She was a lightskin and her face is now red.. I
should have kicked that bitch, who she thinks she is to
beat my girlfriend in this way?
"Baby"
"Yah"
" Am sorry about this, i will make sure it doesn't happen
again"
" If you say so and i hope you learned her a lesson."
" I so did and I tell you, she won't even come near you."
" I believe you baby and I went and check the house in
Pretoria south and I like it, we should buy that one, we
can go tomorrow so you can see for yourself"
" No need if you liked it am ok with it"
"But the problem is my parents won't agree with this."
" What do you mean?"
" To move in with you when we are not married"
"So what do you want me to do"
" We can buy a house and you can also pay lobola then I
will get to prepare for our wedding"
" Don't you think we should take it slow?"
" What for? You love me right?"
" Don't get me wrong I do love you"
" I love you too so there is no need to wait"
" Ok baby get some rest and I will go an prepare
something to eat..
Nancy's POV
This guy doesn't know me, by the time he wakes up my
father will be owning 50% of his company's shares. Yes
that how we do it we already own 4 companies, this is me
and my sister's work. Am on the third guy now.. using
fake names sell his shares to my father without any
14
money coming in his bank and disappear. He will cry
alone when am gone...
Sibongile's POV
I woke up the next day, my whole body was paining.
Being beaten plus sleeping on the couch the whole
night!! I went to the bathroom, I couldn't bath proper cuz
I was hurting myself. I just stood there and let the water
run down my body I had Belt stripes all over my body. I
changed into a bottleneck and some sweatpants I was
about to go in the kitchen when someone nocked. I went
and open and gosh it was Lilian..
"Who visit people this early?"
"Hello to you too and is already 12, did you over sleep?"
" Gosh ya I did. How are you"
"Am good but girl you look so sad what's up"
Gosh somebody remaind this girl that this is our first
meet and she is here trying to know my life.
"I was about to make some food should I count you?"
"Change the subject,.. I love you already and for food no I
had breakfast."
"Ok you can watch TV well I go get some food am
starving"
I went into the kitchen and prepare food and when I went
back the TV was still not on and Lilian was still standing
where I left her but she was looking on something.. I
went an try to find what she is looking at, and oh my
God there was some blood stains on the carpet. I didn't
even notice that I was bleeding yesterday..
"Girl what's this?" She ask but I didn't answer, I instead
broke down.
"Shhh come on talk to me, is someone abusing you? I
told you before and am going to repeat that nothing
worth your tears. Come on sit down and talk to me"
" Am not ready to talk to anyone about my life"
" Is ok.. what were you doing at the Williams company

15
that day I mat you?"
" I went to see some old friend"
" Who is your friend? Cuz I asked Lera the receptionist
and she said you were from the CLEO'S office!!"
I was glad that the new receptionist at Katlego's floor
doesn't know me.. so I decided to lie.
"An old friend that I just learned that she passed on, she
was a p.a there"
"Am sorry to hear that"
"Is ok and you, what were you doing there"
" I went to see Lira, she is my cousin"
"ohk"
"Come on change to something nice, I wanna take you
somewhere to clear your mind"
"Am.. ok let me go and change"
I went in and only change to jeans and nake sneakers. I
couldn't wear something showing out my body with those
belt stripes. I took my cellphone and handbag and go
out..
" You didn't change the bottleneck!!!"
"Am.. I feel comfortable in this"
" Ohk anyway.. you still look good, your so beautiful
friend. Can I call you my friend now?"
" Yah am ok with it"
" Sure come on now let's go"
Katlego's POV
I was in the office, kind of bored.😃 Nancy went to see
her parents, I wish I could do the same but gosh my
parents are just something else they won't stop telling me
to get married. They never knew of Sibongile, I somehow
got a feeling that my dad won't approve her, he always
told me to get a well educated women not someone to
chop my money. So I planned to go visit them with Nancy
next weekend. I called Alex my friend to come so we can
go out is been a while without hanging out with him..

16
<Hey buddy>
<Hey your alive!!! I was somehow ready to receive a call
from your parents>
<Haha funny, what are you doing?>
< Nothing you know work sucks>
<Lol I knew... Come on lets meet at the club in 10min am

<Drinks on you?>
<You never agreed to pay a bill, am already used to that>
<Come on dude you earn double of what i get>
<Come on i said in 10 minutes and am already out>
<ok am on my way>
<You get there late!! You gonna pay>
Alex has being my friend for 12years now. He is a fuck
boy I don't know what keeps me around him. He doesn't
do girlfriend stuff he only deal with some one night
stand..i drove to the club and his car was parked
outside.. I knew he will get here first, he don't like
spending that's the other Dom reason why he doesn't
have a girlfriend.
I went in an as always he was busy with the girls.
" Come on let's have some seats over there"
" Excuse me ladies this guy is married don't mind
him"those ladies laughed..
We went an sit at some table at the corner..
"Man What's new in your life, is been like 3months
without hanging out" I ask him but still i know the
answer, this guy doesn't change.
"Nothing new my guy just that there is this girl I met
earlier on today, if I get that girl I will truly settle down."
"Says who?"
"Me you know she is magic, plus her father is rich I won't
worry about giving her money."
" Give me some details of her and I will do all in my
power to get her for you if that's what you promise."
" I know you my guy.. let me send you her photo and you

17
can make her your girlfriend's friend"
" Haha my girlfriend don't do the friend thing I never saw
her or heard her say something about having a friend"
"The last time I talked to her she said I should settle
down so she can have a friend"
" Ohk my guy look we broke up, I was about to tell you...
But hey I have this other girl and I saw you will like her"
"What? You broke up with your Bee???"
"Yes and I got this other girl, she the new p.a I told you
about. She is so beautiful, educated and she also have
goals unlike Sibongile"
" I never in my life thought you will one day say that
about your Bee, never"
" Not my bee anymore, you should quit saying that."
"Is gonna take me time"
"Ohk then let's talk about something else"
" Let me see the new girl's photo"
I took out my phone and handed over to him..
" I think I know this girl but I can't remember where I
saw her, is she a celebrity or something"
" No she is my p.a and she just graduated she haven't
worked somewhere before"
" Ohk if you say so but she looks familiar"
" Enough about that let have some drinks"
Sibongile's POV
Lily took me to the mall we had lunch, went to the
movies and the casino and also had dinner at some
expensive restaurant.. it was only us in casual clothes
everyone in that restaurant was in formal like business
man and their wife.. Lilian is so crazy l felt so open with
her like I can take out all my craziest site when am with
her. It was already nine when she dropped me home..
"Girl thank you I really had fun" I said
"Your crazy how the hell did that guy agree for us to get
in that restaurant in casual clothes?"

18
"I don't know maybe my charms did the work"we laughed
" Your right, let me go before my parents report me
missing"
"Haha will they do that?"
"Those two are crazy, they once reported my car stolen
just to embarrass me in front of my friends"
" What lol girl go before I see your pictures all over the
media"
We laughed and she drove way. I got into my apartment,
and the stress that I dogged the whole day came. How
the hell am I going to pay rent?? Those people just took
my CV's claiming they will call me but nothing am still
jobless. I just have to come with another plan. I went into
my bedroom and went straight to bed, I was lazy to bath.
Agh I will bath tomorrow...
Sibongile's POV
Days went by and still nothing changed, instead my life
shifted from bad to worse. I had to go door to door
washing some people clothes and I only made R950 plus
the many in my account and still am not even halfway to
cover my rent payment. I have been avoiding Lily and as
dramatic she is, she text me any minute she get. It was
already 10 in the morning and I decided to go to the
north to find some peace job and my tears won't stop
falling, I never imagined my life like this. Yes life was not
good home but is better than to be lost in some places
you don't know. I walked until I reached the biggest
mansion I have never saw, and I went in to ask for some
job. The security was so tight but finally I was let in after
I explained at the intercom what am here for. I walked for
like 3 minutes to get at the front door and there was this
other old lady waiting at the door for me..
"Afternoon" ya it was already to 1:00
"Hello young lady come in" we went and sit at the sofa in
what looks like sitting room.
" Ohk young lady you will be helping us with cleaning,

19
washing clothes and ironing only for a week because our
maid went home for a funeral"
"Ohk am ok with that what time should I come?"
" From 7 till anytime your done, and if I may ask are you
going to school?"
" No I dropped out because I couldn't pay my fees"
" Oh!! Why not apply for bursary?"
" I will have to try that but I don't have enough
information"
" Ohk try that my dear I will also tell my son maybe he
will be glad to help"
"I wish he do"
"Ohk you can go and start tomorrow morning I will give
you 500 per day"
" Ok is fine, see you tomorrow"
I went out and decided to call Lily just to let her know am
ok ..
<So you decided to wake up from the dead today>
<Hello to you too Lily>
<Hello.. why have you being avoiding me>
<Life.. I got busy an am sorry>
<Ok glad you called so where are you?>
<Am about to get to the mall>
<Which?>
<North>
<Ok am coming>
<Ok see you>
Katlego's POV
It was Saturday the day that I will be introducing my bae
to my parents. Is been like 1 hour already that I have
being waiting for her to come out of the bathroom but
still, woman with make up and all that.
"Baby how do I look" finally.. seeing her I just started
laughing she was wearing a nice black pencil skirt, not
that it doesn't look good on her no she is gorgeous as
always but I never saw her in something long like this

20
unless if is jeans. Is she trying to impress my parents?
"Haaa Katlego I ask an you laugh?? Am no longer going"
she said dramatically
"Am sorry baby just that is my first time seeing you
wearing that.. are you trying to impress my parents?"
" Oh yes I can't wear all those short things to my parents
in law's house"
" Haha ok then let's go"
I drove to my parents house and when we got there my
old people were sitting in the sitting room..
"Pa and Ma"
" The neighbours must hear that your here" Said my
mom
" Mustn't I greet my old people?? Your neighbours won't
hear a thing even if I talk on the loud 100% speaker"
"Agh your making noise"
We sat down and with the way my dad have been looking
at me? I could say he was impressed already an as for
my mom, I have never in my life be able to read her
emotions she is hard like that.
" Ok Mom an dad this is Nancy my girlfriend, soon to be
Mrs Williams"
"Finally.. someone is growing" said my father and Nancy
couldn't stop smiling.
Mom: My girl who are your parents?
Nancy: Am.. is Mr and Mrs Nico they are currently in
Congo..
Mom: oh so your not a south african?
Nancy: I was born here and my parents just moved back
last year.
I somehow don't like my mom's questions and I could see
that Nancy is not comfortable at all.
Me: Mom where is food am starving..
Mom: I don't know if they are done cooking. Nancy please
come an help me prepare the table..
They went in the kitchen
21
Dad: Son do you really want to marry her??.
Me: Am certain dad I don't think there is something that
will stop me.
Dad: if you say so.. so what does she do for a living?
Me: She is my p.a..
Dad: Have qualifications or you just hired her cuz you
like her?
Me: With qualifications..
Dad: Good.
Me: can we go and eat now??!
Dad: Doesn't she cook? You sound like your about to
die..
Me: She does just that I didn't eat because I knew I will
eat here.
Dad: Ohk let's go then..
We went an sat at the at dinner table and we ate over
some small talk and Nancy offered to take the dishes and
plates to the kitchen..
Mom: Son there was this other young lady earlier on in
the morning looking for a job.. She said she was studying
and she somehow no longer have many to continue .I
really wish you can help her. ( The thought of Sibongile
somehow popped in my mind but I know is someone else)
Me: By paying her fees?
Mom : Yes or help her get bursary..
Me: Ya maybe I should try that, give me her number.
Mom: Oh I forgot to take but she will be here the whole
week you should come and talk to her.
Me: Ok did you give her a job?
Mom: Yes just for a week cuz Marian went home for a
week..
Nancy walk in and it was time for us to go..
Me: Ma, Pa will see you we now have to go.
Dad: Ok son

22
Mom: Ok hope you come during the week.
Me: I will definitely do so.. by..
Nancy's POV
We drove to my apartment and I was bored by the
questions I got from Katlego's mom. And there is no truth
I told her, all what I said is a lie I us fake names and fake
parents with fake names also and my parents are South
African, Mr an Mrs Kgatle. That is why I or my father
have never been followed or arrested . We got there and
Katlego slept as soon as he got to bed I took his phone
and searched an I came across the landlord's number
which means is from where he was staying.. I texted the
number as if am Katlego saying " Am sorry for a short
notice but I already moved out and won't pay rent at the
end of the month.. you can get some people in"
Yes just did this to revenge that idiot..
I woke up and went into the shower, I bathed and wore
long black skirt with red t-shirt and black all-star. I have
a job to go to. I took a cab so I can be early. And when I
got there, I was 10 min early. And this time the security
just opened the gate when he saw me. I nocked and the
same lady from yesterday opened..
"Morning aaa" lol I remember I didn't even tell her my
name yesterday
" Sibongile and morning to you too Mrs..." I could see the
ring on her finger..
"No call me Merriam"
"Ok.. so where do I start"
" Am you only have 6 rooms to clean 2 upstairs and 4
here, you will clean my room and the study room
upstairs and siting room, dining room, table room and
the kitchen. You can start were ever you like, my room is
the first one on your left an the study room is the last
door at your right"
" Ohk let me get started"

23
I went to her bedroom and she did her bed so I just
cleaned the bathroom, dusted the furniture and cleaned
the floor. I then after went to the study room, I was busy
dusting when I saw a little boys picture on the dask. The
little boy is like a young vision of Katlego, the little boy
was with both his parents. I never mat Katlego's parents
but I saw few of his father's photos and the man I see
here doesn't even look like him. It may happen am at his
parent's house!! I quickly bushed that thought away. I
went on and clean the kitchen, dining room, table room
and I was now in the sitting room. I somehow thought
dining and sitting room is one and same thing but this
people make it a two different things. I went to the photo
frame that was hanged on the hall and I mentally
slapped myself, so am at Katlego's parents??? Gosh on
the picture was him and his dad at what looks like
casino.I quickly finished up and went to find Marian, Mrs
Williams of course. I was directed by this other lady to
the garden were Mrs Williams was.
" Am done cleaning, is there any washing?"
" No my dear you will wash tomorrow, you can go now"
" ok see you tomorrow then"
"Before you go, my son said he will come during the week
to talk about the bursary"
" Oh he will help me find bursary?"
" Yes that the least he can do"
" Is ok am grateful for your help by Mrs Williams have a
good day ahead"
Geez what did I just say?!!! I looked on her and yes she
was a little surprised why I said Mrs Williams... She
didn't tell me. I walked quick so she doesn't ask me any
question.
Lilian's POV
I went to Bongi's apartment and there was no curtains, is
she doing some spring-cleaning?? I went and before I
could nock this man opened followed by other 2 carrying

24
some suitcase and black plastic bags, throwing them
outside the gate..
" Sorry miss, is this your stuff?" The other man asked me
" No they are my friend's, what's going on? Why are you
throwing them outside?"
" We are just doing our job but most of the cases like
this, is either your friend didn't pay rent or comply to the
rules"
" Gosh ok thank you"
I went to my car an stuffed all those things in my car and
drove home.. I knew Bongi have somethings going on in
her life but she dont want to tell me. I called her when I
reached home..
<Hello Lily>
< Hi where are you?>
< On my way to my apartment, and you?>
< Home, are you working?>
< Am..not really>
<Ok take a cab to my place now>
< No am so tired girl, will see you some other time>
<Your stuff is with me, I was at your apartment and they
removed all your belongings>
<What?!! But is not even month end!! Why would they do
that?>
<That is way I say come to my place now we will talk
when your here>
< Ok I will call you bye>
Sibongile's POV
I was not far from reaching my apartment when Lily
called me, I went there to see what's going on and there
were already some people moving in. I called the landlord
just to know why and he said he received a massage from
Katlego saying he will not pay rent cuz he already moved
out.. How could he do this to me? So he want to see me
sleeping under the bridge when he is the one who took

25
me here?
I never thought he hated me this much.. how could
he!??? What do I do now? I don't want to be a burden to
Lilian. I will just sleep over today and go looking for a
place tomorrow. I took a cab to Lilian and she was about
to go out when I got there..
" Damn girl what took you so long?"
" Am..I was trying to fix the situation but still"
" You don't have to I already fixed up a room for you and
my parents are ok with you, staying here"
" You didn't have to. I will go look for a place tomorrow"
" That goes without saying, why are you always trying to
push me away?"
"Am not Lily just that I don't want to be a burden to
some people"
" Come on you won't be a burden to anyone am willing to
help you"
" Thank you"
I was so heartbroken inside that someone i don't even
know is willing to help me when someone i loved just
abandoned me!!!
"An Bongi you should tell me your story so I know how to
help you!! Come on let's go in. You must be hungry an
tired."
We want in and had dinner with her parents and they
are so cool and they good with me staying with them. Lily
went to show me my room I bathed and went into her
room. I just decided to tell her my story.
"Hey thought you already slept.." she said
" No I just want to talk to you about my life"
She seated on her bad and I also sat next to her, I told
her everything. How I came here and why am like this
today.
" Wow women how did you keep this to yourself? You
should have told me"

26
" I know but I wasn't ready"
" So that Williams guy is the one who did this"
" Yes and I have nothing to do"
" Is ok we will have to try get your life back in truck. You
can't keep on mourning that idiot, and I tell you by the
time your back on your feet he will be running after you
like a puppy"
We laughed and continue talking other stuff I can't
believe I told her my story without even one tear drop!!!
Am slowly healing. But I still didn't tell her that am
working for Katlego's parents, I know she won't agree
with me but I just want to see Katlego's reaction the day
he will come to talk to me about the bursary.
Sibongile's POV
I woke up early and took a bath. Lily was still asleep
when I went out, so I wrote her a note to let her know I
found a peace job, that o went to and I will see her before
13:00. I went and started by cleaning and washed some
few clothes. It was 10 when I was already done ready to
go but Mrs Williams said Katlego is on his way, and I
must wait for him. I was sitting with her in the dining
when Katlego walked in with his mistress.. I felt like
someone just stubbed me with a knife just right on my
chest I still love this idiot.. And you should have seen his
face when he see me, like someone just relieved
themselves on me. Like am just a dog that I know that
annoy him..
" Mom what is she doing here" he said and by that time
he was holding his mistress so tight like his life depends
on her
"Son this is the lady I told you about.. do you know her?"
" Am no just thought is someone else, they pretty look
alike" he quickly changed his face.. what is he trying to
fool? His mom? I just sat there looking at him and he
never even once make an eye contact with me.
"Ok then"
27
" Miss come with me to my office so we talk about this
there" he said to me
" Why your office son?? You can talk to her here"
" I believe she doesn't have her iD and certificate with her
here or you do?"
" Definitely not" I said
" Ya I can take you to your house and then to my office to
help you apply for bursary.. And mom i will come and
visit some other time bye"
I followed them like a lost puppy but I know he will not
help me. I just noticed that his mother didn't even look at
Nancy. Looks like she doesn't like her.. We went to his
car and they got in and I got at the back. I never knew I
will ever be in the backseat of this car one day.. for all
that 6years being with him I have never seated on the
backseat. He drove out and stopped not far from his
home..
" What are you really retrying to do" he said without even
looking at me
" Am sorry but I didn't know that she is your mother"
" Stop lying you bitch"
" What"
" You don't want me to repeat myself.. I said what I you
trying to do and don't you dare tell me that you didn't
know"
" Katlego please I said I didn't know.. how the hell was I
supposed to know? Did you ever show me your mom?
No. did you ever show me your parents house? No. so
what the hell are you insulting me for.. I was just there
looking for a job and she asked about my life and she
offered to help.. less did I know that she is your mother..
I wouldn't have agreed if I knew and if you no longer have
nothing to say unlock the door I want to go" I was so
annoyed, he just called me a bitch in front of his slat..
she was so quiet all along..
" You know what I no longer want you anywhere near my

28
family, did you get that?"
" I will go for my money tomorrow"
" What money?"
" That I worked for.."
" How much?"
" R2000" I lied o knew he will pay me.. he took his phone
out and transferred me the money and I was amazed he
still have my bank details..
" You got it an know go away I no longer want to see you
Sibongile, play far from me and my family. Did you get
that?" I just looked at him and opened the door.. I went
out an wait for a cab. The way he called my name was so
weird he sounded like a foreigner, I don't remember him
calling me by my name..
Katlego's POV
What did she do this that girl is so annoying.. I noticed
that Nancy never talked since we took off from my
parents house.. I just wish she is not angry and if she is I
saw I will kill that Dom ass..
" Baby are you ok?" I asked her
" Ya am fine just that I noticed your mom don't like me.."
" No is just that she was busy trying to get what was
going on there, she really like you baby"
" I wish you be right, I want her to take me as her own
daughter and she is already a mother to me"
" I know sweetheart you shouldn't worry about that, you
can see she is old she maybe thought she talked to you"
" I hope so"
" Ok baby Iets get prepared remember we have to go meet
my friend Alex.."
" Ok let me go change"
Nancy went to change and I called Alex to confirm that
we are coming. And I couldn't stop thinking about
Sibongile, is she really straggling that she had to go look
for a job? Not that I care but I somehow feel sorry for her.
Nancy came out end we went to Alex's place.

29
Sibongile's POV
After what happened today I just went straight to Lily's
place. She was on the phone with someone like it is her
boyfriend... An finally she finished..
" Hey" she said
" Who was that?"
" Some other guy claiming he love me, we will meet him
tomorrow and anyway you came at a right time I wanted
as to go to varsity to check for some bursaries available"
" Ok let me go freshen up baby"
" Be quick"
I went and freshen up and wore a shot blue dress with a
white all-star and covered my hair with a blue cap and
Lily was wearing a short red dress with a white all-star
also wow someone will say we agreed on this.. we got in
the university and I applied for a bursary hopefully it
becomes successful. I can't wait to make my own
cash.Lily suggested that we go to the club, I do drink but
not that much 2 glasses are enough for me. We went in
and it was packed as always like people don't have
anything to do. We went an sit down and ordered some
drinks and I saw Alex coming straight to us.. Alex is
Katlego's friend we used to come here i just wish he is
alone..
"Hey ladies" he said
" Hey Alex" I replied
Lily: You know him?
Me: Yes and you.. you know him?
Lily: This is the guy I was talking to on the phone..
Me: What!!!?
Alex: Come on bee you don't want me to have this
beautiful lady??
Me: No am just surprised.. small world we live in..
Lily: How do you guys know each other?
Me: Katlego's friend!!!
Lily: Oh dude are you like your ass friend??
30
Alex: Come on am not like him and besides Kat is a good
guy just that he is being blinded by that thing he call a
wife.
Me: Oh you don't like her
Alex: How can I like such things..
He pointed to our far left and she was there in a pretty
much short dress that she couldn't pick something from
the floor without showing her tiny ass. And she is busy
dancing some prostitute dances and Katlego is there
looking like a fool smiling.
Me: Geez and he is allowing her to do that???
Alex: She is in control, he doesn't say anything unlike the
way he was bossing you around.
Me: Wow
Alex: Ya that it's and you.. how are you holding up
Me: Am ok as you can see..
Lily: Did you guys somehow forget that am also here.
Alex: Am just trying to not look at you, the way your
shining so bright I will end up hurting up my eyes..
Lily: Geez stop that... Am going to the loo
Alex: Can I accompany you??
Lily: Get a life man.( She shouted on her way to the
restroom)
Me: An you are you serious about her??
Alex: Decent.. I really want that lady and am glad she is
your friend..
Me: But you so childish sometimes
Alex: I wanna settle down with her am serious, please do
me some favours.
Me: I didn't promise but she looks like she likes you.
Lily came back and we started drinking, dancing I even
for sometime forgot that Katlego is here until I saw them
kissing like they are about to have sex right there.

Me: An you are you serious about her??
Alex: Decent.. I really want that lady and am glad she is
your friend..
Me: But you so childish sometimes
Alex: I wanna settle down with her am serious, please do
me some favours.
Me: I didn't promise but she looks like she likes you.
Lily came back and we started drinking, dancing I even
for sometime forgot that Katlego is here until I saw them
kissing like they are about to have sex right there.
Days turned into weeks, Alex and Lily are so much
inlove. As for me am just a living ghost, I spend most of
the time alone in Lilian house. Her parents are always
traveling all over the world. I woke up and went to the
bathroom and did my hygiene process and wore black
leggings with my oversized t-shirt and morning sleeper
and went downstairs. I went to the kitchen and dished
myself breakfast that was already prepared by the maid
and I seated at the table. I was lost with my thoughts
when Lily and Alex got in and start kissing like they
about to make love just in front of me..
Me:Geez get a room
*They jumped like they saw a ghost
Lily: Bongi!!!
Alex: You scared the hell out of me bee
Me: Agh quit calling me that dude..
Alex: How I wish I can but even if I try I always find

36
myself calling you that.
Lily: So girlfriend you didn't receive anything from the
university?
Me: Nothing i think i will just focus on getting a job cuz it
looks like I will wait forever..
Alex: Don't say that am sure something will come
up..you so brilliant i remember the last time Katlego
showing me your final year results and bragging about
his bee and I still wonder what the hell Happened...
Me: Life happened.. He is just showing his true colours ..
Alex: An guess what he bought a house not just a house
but a mansion..
Me: Good for him..
Alex: And..
Lily: Oh please baby don't you see that your just
breaking her with all that?
Me: Am fine Lily and I don't mind talking about him.
Lily: So then you will never heal. You just have to forget
about that pig and let him come back and eat the food he
was playing on..
Me: As much as I hate him I still wish him lack..
Lily: A good Samaritan oh Jehovah
Me: Stop being dramatic.
Nancy
Is being 2 weeks since we moved to the new house and
my dad is on my neck forcing me to do the job within this
month before Traizel find me but at the other side I still
want to be with Katlego. I was in the office and I sent
Katlego's lawyer an email requesting him to draft the
papers that says Katlego is selling his shares to Vincent
Ncgobo, which is my dad and am still waiting for his
respond. He is taking too long, Katlego is still in the
meeting and is only few minutes left for him to come
back. Was busy pacing around when I got an email from
him saying..
" Sir I did draft the papers and will come with them

37
whenever you need them" God I emailed back
" No can you just send them and I will call you when we
going to sign."
"This are important documents Sir an as a lawyer I will
have to submit them hand in hand not to send through
email. Am sorry but I will be there first thing in the
morning"
Shit I have never met a stupid lawyer ever in my life... So
what do I do now?? I have no choice but to run away an
am not going empty handed.
I will have to clean his bank account. I closed the laptop
and went to my office.
" You look stressed.. What is it that is bothering my
queen" he said that coming to my desk.
" Is that month an am in pain here"
" Sorry you can go home and get rest baby"
" Ya but go and buy me some pain pill well I finish up my
work"
" There are some at home just go and you will finish that
when ever your ok" this guy
" Please baby"
"Ok then" he took his phone and was about to go.
"Can I have your phone please"
" For?"
" You know!! "
" Gosh but you just said your sick!! And I don't know way
I always forget to place an order so you get your own.."
" I just want to Skype with a friend please"
" Ok" he handed me his phone and left.. good I quickly
went to his office login his bank app and cleaned the
company bank account and also his an left only 20k in
his account.. the reason I took his phone is to delete the
notification, I went back to my desk before he could come
back.
He came back with the tablets and I took my car keys
and laptop bag and drive home. I firstly booked a flight to

38
Nigeria for tonight and then go straight to packing. I took
my belongings to my car not all but most. I went back to
the house I really going to miss this I hate the day I
agreed to be my father's key to success that he didn't
work hard to have. I called my father an he answered on
the second ring..
<Ntombi..>
<Dad I messed up and am going to Nigeria tonight.>
<So you done with the job? Where are the papers?>
<Dad there is no papers his lawyer didn't want to send
the papers via email but he suggested to hand them over
tomorrow morning>
<So why do you want to go? >
<You don't get it.. do you.. I already told him to draft the
papers and also included your name as a buyer and you
will also have to go daddy>
<You what damn Ntombi we are finished>
<Dad I cleaned his bank account I have already booked
my flight so you can also do so..>
<So where is the money cuz I did receive anything?>
< In my account daddy.. and am not giving you
anything>
<So that how this end>
<Daddy we will talk I really have to go now before he
come back>
I disconnected.. my Dad with money!! I swear he can
even kill his own blood for money. It's still 3 in the
afternoon and my flight is for 8 in the evening and am
really sure that Katlego won't stay at work cuz I said am
not feeling well and he might be on his way as I say now
so I have no time to worst. I got out and went into my car
and drove to airport I will just wait for my flight I have no
choice.
Katlego's POV
I was still in the office when dad walk in like he just
survived from the lions cage..
39
" Who is chasing you old man?" I said sarcastically
" Am not here for jokes young man what did you do with
all that money?"
" What money? And calm down before you get an heart
attack"
" I already survived one when I got the bank notification
and dare lie to me"
"I really don't get what your on about and please try to
make me understand"
He headed me his cellphone and I got a shock of my life
30million gone in the company's account. But how?? I
checked my phone and there is no any massage.
" Daddy I think someone is messing with you cuz I didn't
get any notification about this"
" You think am a fool hah.. go on check the balance and
tell me that nonsense you just said"
I quickly went to my laptop and check and God the
account was empty I mean empty with no any cents. I
couldn't believe I feel like am dreaming. What really
happened here cuz we opened this account as a company
and I and dad should get notified if one of as take out
money but I didn't get any notification.. something is not
right here..
" Dad how come I didn't get any Notification??"
" You know what son I don't want to hear any stories
now.. you only have to take my money back and get the
hell out of my company now"
" Daddy I really don't know what your talking about and
excuse me I have to go now"
" Go!?? You have to go? My money is gone I mean my
company will be on it knees by the end of this month and
you tell me your going"
" I understand old man but is useless to just stand here
instead of looking for help.. am going to the bank"
I rushed out before my dad could say anything. I couldn't
believe even if is true that someone took our money, who

40
that may be cuz I don't remember having any enemies? I
was driving like a mad man to the nearest bank I parked
at the parking lot and run inside.. I went straight to the
information desk
" Hello mam" I said to the lady at the desk
" Afternoon sir how may I help you"
" I wanna see the Williams company statement"
" Can I have your bank details"
I gave her and she then went and came back with some
papers and handed them to me I checked and ya the
money is gone.
" Sorry mam can you please resend the money back to
the company account.."
She then start to work on her computer
" Sorry sir the account is untraceable"
" What do you mean is untraceable?? I said reverse the
money back not to trace the account"
" That what am trying to do but the account is blocked I
can't reverse the money"
" God am dead"
I run out thinking about getting an IT professional to do
this for me. I called Alex and he answered on the second
ring
<Buddy>
<Hey Alex please send me the number of that IT guy>
<Wanna do some dirty work?>
<Come on I have no time for jokes, so will send or what?>
<Geez what's up man? You sound like your taking your
last breath.>
<Voetsek man am been serious here>
<Ok I will send>
<Good>
Traizel's POV
I was in my office when i got a call from one of my
personal detective telling me that Ntombi aka Nancy is

41
trying to leave the country to me she was Sharleen. Yes I
saw her that day at the club and I hired someone to keep
an eye on her. It was already 7:30 and her flight is
leaving in 30 minutes. I quickly took my car keys and
jogged downstairs to the garage and drove of.. it was 10
to 8 when I got there and they already made an
announcement that the plane will take off, so people
were now making a line to go. I went and stand at the
small gate, just where the security are to check the
passports. I looked at anyone who passed there and a
could see Ntombi panicking. She looked at me an tried to
haed her face with her long wave. I took of my shades
and look straight to her but I pretended like I didn't
notice her and she quickly walked out of the building.
Yes I was not here to get her but to make sure she
doesn't leave the country.
Nancy's POV
I was at the airport cafe buying something to eat when
Traizel walked in, the is no other way you won't notice
him because the media is always following him around.
He went an stood just were I will have to pass thru and
the way he was looking at those people passing, you
could see he is in search and am not going there. I
quickly walked out to my car and called my friend Lera to
expect me cuz am not going back to Katlego's house. I
will have to book another flight to anywhere that will at
least take off in the morning or late night tomorrow.
Katlego's POV
I was still in the office with the IT guy but is seems like
we not getting anything.
" Come on man"
" Am sorry sir but who ever did this is good at it"
" Try something else"
" I run out of options "
" So check my phone then. Check if it is hacked or
something cuz I didn't receive any notification from the
42
bank"
" You will have to give me your phone i will go and check
that at my office cuz is already late now"
" Don't tell me is fucken late cuz am going to pay you"
" I don't know about you sir but I have a family that
might be worried as I speak and you can find someone
else if you can't wait for tomorrow"
" Am sorry is just am not thinking straight"
" I understand sir so can I have your phone so I go and
work on it at home?"
" No you will come and work here tomorrow"
" Ohk sir good night "
He said that walking out.. I took my car keys and locked
my office then went to the parking lot. I drove to my place
am sure Nancy is still on bed so I got in and went
straight to the kitchen to prepare something for us. I was
not in the mood to cook so I took yogurt and two spoons
and went to the bedroom, Nancy was not here. Her
closet's doors were open with clothes all over the room
and the bed was neat like we left it in the morning. I
went to check her suitcases and there was nothing..
What's going on here I took out my phone to call her. It
rings but with no reply, I dropped the call and call again
but this time it went straight to voicemail.. My head
started spinning I couldn't think straight, I will just have
to sleep and I will try to understand this tomorrow.
Nancy went somewhere maybe, she can't leave me never.
I took of my clothes and went to bed.
I woke up the next day dragged my self into the
bathroom, I took a quick shower and wore blue jeans and
black t-shirt with white Nike air Max and took my car
keys and cellphone. I drove to the office and the IT guy
was already here, I opened the office and we went in. I
gave him my phone so he can start working on it. I was
busy checking some other files when someone nocked..

43
" Come in" and to my surprise it was my lawyer
" Morning "
" Hi John what brings you here" he just looked at me and
laughed
" What do you mean?? Cuz am here to give you this
papers" he placed an brown envelope on my desk
" What is this?"
" The papers you asked me to draft and I also wanna ask
why do you wanna sell your shares"
"Am not selling any shares!! Where did you get that?"
" Are you ok cuz you asked me to draft that papers
stating that your selling your shares to.." he opened the
envelope"to Vincent Ncgobo"
" What?? I am not selling share and I don't remember
talking to you"
" You sent me am email"
I took my laptop and checked emails and yes someone
sent him email using my laptop. Pretending to be me..
This is too much now.. who is really trying to see me
down hah?? I was still shocked when Sipho the IT guy
came in
Sipho: Here sir.. you did receive 2 notification from the
back but they got deleted as soon as they were sent.
Me: What??
Sipho: Yes.. just try to remember what or where you were
at 2:30 yesterday..
John: What is really going on here
Me: Am.. my meeting was over at 2:15 I came back at the
office and went to the pharmacy and..
Sipho: You had your phone all along?
Me: Yes I only left it with.. noo it can be
I stood up surprised.. the only person who took my
cellphone was Nancy. Did she have something to do with
this??
Sipho: if you gave it to anyone then who is that??
Me: Nancy and I don't think she is the one who did that..
44
John: Man I also received those emails at around 2.. so
think who was in your office or try to find the CCTV to
get if there is someone who sneaked in.
Me: Nancy was here..
Sipho: Where is she now??
That made me to wake up.. yes were is she?? This
happened yesterday and I found her gone.. so she is the
one who took my money!!!
Me: Thank you Sipho you can go I will send you your
money.. ( he left)
Me: John I want you to find who is this Vincent Ncgobo
and also Nancy September. Give me all their information.
John: Ohk let me go work on it. ( He left and left me with
my thoughts.. how could she? I think maybe someone
was blackmailing her to do this cuz the last time i
checked she wanted to marry me. Was her love for me a
game? Now I must try to face my dad.. we have to take a
loan so that we be able to pay the stuff and also be able
to transport our goods. I took my car keys, went to the
parking lot and drove to my parents house.
Katlego's POV
I drove to my parents house.. when I got there, there was
only mom in sitting room.
" Hey mommy dearest" she just looked at me for a minute
and continue to watch her favourite cooking show, ya
that's what she does when she is angry and if I continue
talking to her she might heat me with anything near her
and now what I see is a cup in her hands. I better go, I
went to dad's study room and he was there.. The door
was open so I invited myself in, he was sitting on his
chair facing the window and that's really shows that he is
in thoughts.
" Dad" he turned the chair to my direction
" I hope you have my money"
" As much as i wish but it won't help if we continue like

45
this when am also in the dark"
" If you don't have my money I have nothing to say to
you"
" Dad am here so we can talk about a way forward when
am still investigating on what happened. And you know
that company is my life why do you think I took the
money? For what?
" I don't want to know just go away you will come to me
when you have my money back in the account and I
want you out of my company"
" But dad please let at least take loan so we can be able
to deliver and take it from there"
" Katlego what language do you understand? I said I no
longer want you in my company, I have already called my
younger brother Joshua to take over and in fact I no
longer want to see you in my house. Take that money
and buy what ever you want and get the hell out of my
life"
" But dad l.."
" Out now" he shouted and throw a pen that he was
holding at me.. so it is?? I just turned and walk away..
got in my car and drove to my house and I thank God I
bought a house if not I was going to suffer, I know my
father mean it when he said he no longer wanna see me..
I swear who ever did this will pay the hard way, he better
keep on running...
Sibongile's POV
I woke up and went to the bathroom and did my hygiene
process. I wore a light brown leggings and black
oversized t-shirt and went downstairs. This is now my
daily routines nothing new.. Lilian is in love, she is
always with Alex. I went to the kitchen and dished myself
breakfast that was already made by the maid and went to
set on the bar chair in the kitchen table and dig in. I
washed my plate and went to the sitting room to watch

46
some TV show.
After some few hours Lilian and Alex came to join me..
Lily: Hi girlfriend
Me: Hey you love birds
Alex: i should find you someone to keep you company.
Me: Oh thank you Alex but I don't need anyone in my life
not now..
Lily: Never say never
Me: I didn't say I will never, I said not now..
Lily: What if your prince charming show up again?
Me: I will also reject him and stop saying he is my prince
charming..
Lily: But you kissed him..
Alex: And she was the one who started the kiss..
Me: What?? Guys I wasn't myself..
Alex: And she said take me home..
Lily: And he then said he would like to meet her again..
Alex: And she said she would love to..
Lily: And..
Me: God guys
* They burst out laughing
Lily: He have being quite on social media this days..
Alex: Maybe he is out of the country..
Lily: He have never been this quite, let me check if he
posted something on Facebook..
She took out her phone and searched for him..
Lily: woah what?? Listen what he wrote yesterday " I
found my missing bone.. but then she is no where to be
found, I forgot her address. It was on the 15-04-2018
when I met her in the club, show yourself my lady"
*she was reading Traizel's post. She looked at me with
her mouth open, she is probably thinking he is talking
about me..
Lily: Come on log in and comment he is talking about
you..
Me: Am not going to do that and lets talk about

47
something else..
Alex: But the poor guy is..
Me: Alex please..
I went to the kitchen to drink some water leaving those
two crazy people in the sitting room..My phone vibrated
and I went and take it from the table and It was a
massage from the university saying I was selected for the
bursary and I will have to go tomorrow to write the test
for admission. I jumped and screamed and run to the
sitting room to show Lily and Alex the massage, but they
were both no longer where I left them but standing at the
door with their eyes popped out, Alex holding the door
handle like they are ready to run and I burst out
laughing..
Lily: Are you crazy?
Me: So you guys were going to run and leave me here?
Alex: What's wrong with you? I almost got an panic
attack.
Me: Haha so Lily you don't have a man..
Lily: What's wrong with you?
I handed her my phone and she screamed more than I
even did. And showed Alex the massage.
Lily: God you are awesome
She started singing
Alex: Great News bee am so happy for you.
Me: Am more than the word happy
Lily: But you have to write test!!
Me: I know and that is nothing I can't handle
Lily: You go girl am happy for you, finally your going to
school.
Me: Finally
Lily: This is just called for celebration.. come on girlfriend
let's go change we are going out.
Me: Am not..
Lily: Am not taking a no as an answer come on

48
She dragged me upstairs to my room, I had no choice but
to go with here. I changed into a white long sleeve
jumpsuit and a black with black sandals heels. And went
downstairs, we then drove to the club the same club that
I messed up before and I vowed to never drink in such a
way no matter what.
Sibongile's POV
It has been an hour since we arrived at the club and
Lilian is owning the dance floor and Alex didn't come
with us cuz he wanted to check on Katlego. The club was
so full of people as always. I was lost with my thoughts
when I realise that I have been looking at the other guy..
you know those embarrassing moments when you look at
someone or something but your thoughts aren't there. I
quickly turned to look on the other side but the thing is
he was also looking at me.
Traizel's POV
I was in the club with my friend Liyo when my eyes
finally found what I have been looking for.. This club is
not the kind that I hang out at is way too low but I
couldn't stop coming since that day. She was looking at
me or I would say at my side and lost in thought cuz I
tried to wave at her but she didn't even shift. I decided to
go to her cuz it might be the last time I see her.
" Man I will be back" I said to Liyo who was busy on his
phone
" Where to?"
" To that lady over there I think she is the one I told you
about"
" Ok go man at least you will stop dreaming about her"
" Tsek"
" Thank you"
* I left and go to her table, I think she noticed that am
coming to her cuz she was no longer comfortable.

49
"Hello miss" I said to her
" Hey"
" Guess you still remember me!!"
* She looked at me and gasped, closing her mouth with
both her tiny hands.
"Traizel Matthews?"
" Yes mam.. we met the other day and I"
" Oh please don't remind me and am sorry about that I
wasn't myself"
" Oh really!! I didn't get your name that day"
" Sibongile"
" Bongi.. your so beautiful"
" Thank you and I could say the cameras an't doing you
any justice you look way better in person"
" Was that a complement?"
" It depends on how you wanna take it"
" I choose to take it as a compliment and thank you so
Bongi.. can I buy you a drink?"
" Poor pick up line and anyway I already had enough
thank you"
" Those were not my pick up line I was just asking and I
tell you there was no other way you gonna deny me if I
uses my pickup lines"
" Try me"
" Some other time"
Lily: Oh hello
Me: Hey
Lily: Am Lilian her friend
Me: Nice to meet you Lilian and am..
Lily: Traizel Matthews young billioner.. I think only her
didn't know you
Me: Oh she didn't know me?
Lily: Yes the next day I told her what happened here and
she even went to social media to search who you really
are.
* I was so impressed to know that she never acted that
way because she knew who I am. Ladies I have ever
50
associated with was always after my money and the other
thing is even now that she knows me she still treat me
normal not like all this ladies who will be all bubbly
asking me to buy them expensive champagnes.
Her: Lily I had enough am even tired can we go home
now?
Lily: But your still with him..
Her: No he is by himself not with me..
Me: So you don't want to keep the poor guy company? I
mean is still early and I would like to know you better.
Her: There is still some other time so see you around.
Me: Can you at least give me your number so we catch
up?
Her: No..
* She left
Lily: Your phone quickly..
Me: Me what?
Lily: You want her number or what?
Me: Ok
* I gave her my phone and she gave it back with Bongi's
number and she also left.
Katlego's POV
I was in my house drinking cuz is all I do now "drinking"
am hell stressed and this is when I regret not going to
university cuz now even if I look for a job, I will end up
being a retail worker or something else. I will have to do
all in my power to find who ever did this so that I can at
least gain my father's trust again cuz now, am nothing.
Alex came ,yes I called him and gave him my address
because he didn't know my new place in fact he have
been ignoring me since I started to date Nancy.. I opened
the door for him
Him: Hey buddy
" Hey my man"
" You look horrible!! What's up?"
" A lot have been going on I don't know where to start"

51
" Is about Nancy?"
" No is the company, someone hacked the account and
take all the money we had and now my dad think am the
one who took it"
" What? So you don't know who might be?"
" I have no idea I don't remember creating any enemies or
maybe I should look on Sibongile cuz that the only
person I know hate me right now'
" Woah live bee out of this she have nothing to do with all
that and where is your wife to be when your house look
like a damping site?"
" That's also another thing that makes look this way.. she

" Why?"
" I don't know I found her gone the other day when I

" Haha oh so you loose money an job then she
disappear?? Wow"
" No in fact she left the day that money was taken on,
when I came from work to tell her all the bad new and
boom she was gone"
" Wow hahahaha"
* Alex burst out laughing like a crazy man.. am in same
bad space and all he do is to come here and laugh at me?
" Your laughing?"
" Yes.. doesn't it add up in your mind that she may be
the one or involved in taking the money? In fact your
here still worried about her!!"
" I know you never liked her and am not going to
entertain your negative thoughts"
" Ohk am out then.. you can tell me if you need anything

" I know buddy" we where busy talking when I received a
call from John telling me that he got some information
and he would like to meet up with me but in sent him my
address cuz I was not the mood of going out. He came
and we went to the study room along with Alex..
52
John: I will start with Nancy September.. there is no one

Me: What?
John: Yes and about Vincent Ncgobo. He is a 65 years,
the business man know as an investor.. he owns 50% of
5 companies. He is married with two beautiful daughters
named Portia and Ntombi Ncgobo..

Alex: So is her? So there is no Nancy?
John: You know her?
Alex: Yes is his girlfriend, also his p.a
John: Wow..
Alex: I hate to say it but I warned him but no he couldn't

John: How did you get to hire her? There was any

Me: She had qualifications in fact fake cuz that what it
all says about her..
Alex: So what are you going to do now?
Me: I have to find her..
Alex: DO you think she is still in this country?
Me: I have to find her, it doesn't matter where she is and

Alex: Her family stays in Santon.. her is the address.
* He handed me the paper and I jogged to my room and

Alex: So what are you going to do?
Me: Am going there..
Alex: Alone?
Me: You can come if you want to..

Me: John make sure that her picture is all over the
media, airports, bis and train stations for incase if she is

John: Consider it done.
Me: Sure let go now Alex..
* We all went out. John got in his car and drive away. Me

when we got there. We parked on the drive way outside
the gate and went to the security..
Me: Hi man

that they are gone,they must have used their private jet..
Me: It stays in here?
Sec: Yes there is a drive way at the back..
Me: I see.. thanks man.
Alex: So the man have his own private jet that stays at
the back of his house? Wow he must be rich..
Me: He must be with all our money. I swear I will kill him
and that slate of his..
* We drove back home and Alex took his car and left..
John called me telling me that he have done it, even
though there is no longer any need cuz she is gone. I will
have to find more information about her father.
Nancy's POV
54
Since from last week I have been trying to get out of the
country with no luck and now I know that Traizel knows
that am in the country and he is the one behind all this..
is either my flight booking be successful and I find him
standing on the same spot or it is unsuccessful. I was
now staying with my friend Lira, she doesn't know
anything about me. It was in the morning that I woke up
and did my morning routine and wore black mini skirt
and white vest with black vans. I went downstairs and
Lira was already in the sitting room watching TV.
"Morning" I said
" Morning"
" Your not going to work?"
" No we have been called of because of some company
crisis, can you believe that we might not be paid this
month?"
* Lira is the receptionist at the Williams company so that
means I really did something bad now so many people
are going to suffer.. I do regret it cuz now it looks like am
waiting to go to jail.
" That so said"
" Yes so your still taking them to CCMA? I mean they
wont even be able to pay you."
* I told Lira that I was fired by Katlego's father cuz he
found that I was dating Katlego and he never liked me..
" No I don't think so.. I will just drop the case. Am so
hungry did you prepare something for me?'
" Yes darling, check in the oven"
"Thank you sweetheart"
* I went to the kitchen and washed my hands, poured an
orange juice in the glass and take my breakfast in the
oven. I then went back in the sitting room and now Lira
was on her feet with her hands on her mouth, looking at
the TV. I shifted to the other side to see what she is
looking at and God it was my picture on the news.. she

55
turned and look at me, she then changed the channel to
Sabc 2 whereby the news are way behind. I didn't hear
anything they where saying about me but I know is a bad
news and Lira is now focused on the TV when the me
part comes and she turned the volume on 50vol.
TV( Please report to the police if you see this lady around
known as Nancy, but her real names is Ntombi Ncgobo.
She is been accused of stealing 30milion from the
Williams company. You can call on this number
0115699109 to report or give any information you know
about her)
* I looked at her and her eyes was on her phone that was
on the table, then I know what she is thinking I quickly
placed the plate and glass on the table and push her. I
pushed her and take her phone..
" Leave me alone and get the hell out of my house"
" I will go but your not going to call the police"
" Am going to.. so your the reason I might lose my job?
That I may not be paid hah?"
" Lira all those things are a lie"
" Get out and give me my phone back"
* She pushed me and I lost balance and fall. She came
and take her phone that was now on the floor and she
run to her way upstairs. I quickly got up and run after
her, I trapped her on the steps and she fall and groaned
in pain.
" Lira I don't want to hurt you please let me go in peace"
" Your a witch bitch a thief"
" You can call me all sort of names I don't care. Now give
me your phone or am going to break it to pieces"
" Try that"
* I looked on my left and there was a broom I took it and
she tried to run but I hit her head and pushed her down
the stairs and she rolled down the stairs. I went to the
room that I was sleeping at and quickly packed and run

56
downstairs and she was still there groaning in pain with
some blood on her head.
Her: You won't get away with this a pray you rote in jail
Me: Amen .
* I run to the garage to my car and drove off. I called my
dad and he answered in the second ring.
<Ntombi your all over the media!!>
<I know dad and I want you to send the Jat back to get
me here things are really bad>
<No you will have to find another way cuz you know we
will be seeing and that will also make me lose my jet>
<Oh your worried about the jet!!! You don't care that I
will be in jail?>
<We all knew that we are taking risks and we knew that
it will all lead to this some day.. and if your caught your
on your own remember?>
< Dad please am driving to the house now please send it>
<There is no way am doing that Ntombi>
< Ok consider yourself jailed too cuz am not going down
alone>
<You dare do that I will kill you>
<Try me dad>
* I disconnected and drove to my parents house. This is
just the end of me and even if they catch me, am not
giving back the money I will rather go to jail or I will lie
that I sent it to my dad so that I be able to have
something when ever I get out of jail.
Sibongile's POV
It was 10:00 in the morning when I finish writing. Yes I
went to Unisa to write my admission test and now I will
be waiting for the good news. I was walking to the taxi
rank when my phone started to ring with an unknown
number..
<Hello>
<Hey how are you>

57
<Am fine.. who is this?>
<Your not going to ask if am ok or what?>
* Now I know who this is and am going to kill Lily..
<I don't want to know so are you telling me your name or
I hang up?>
<Don't hang up please is Traizel>
<How can I help you>
<I wanted to meet up with you maybe on lunch time!!>
<For what really Mr Matthews?>
<I told you that I wanna get to know you please just give
me that chance>
<Ok Mr Matthews am now in town so what time do you
want to meet me?>
<Where in town I can come and take you now cuz am
also in town>
<Unisa!!>
<Am on my way give me 2 minutes>
*He disconnected. I won't lie I like him but I think people
will just take me as one of those girls who are after his
money. And now he is about to pick me in this public
place, I know I will be all over the media by the end of
today. People started to make noise.. and that got me out
of my day dreaming and I turned to the said that they are
looking at and ya there was a light brown Lamborghini
parked just on the drive way near the gates. My phone
started to ring and it was Traizel and that hit me. So he
is the one in that car? God am not going there..
<Bongi am out at the gate.. where are you?>
<Your in this Lamborghini parked on the drive way?>
<Yes come let's go>
<I hate attention and people are already given your car
enough attention it asked for so I don't want to be the
talk of the town tomorrow>
<Come on Bongi.. there is no media her>
< Yes employed media but unemployed media is here>

58
* He burst out laughing and disconnected.. he opened
the car door and got off and every one was taking him
pictures that the media am taking about and he is
hading my way and that's when I knew I made a mistake,
I should have just go there and get in the car but now I
only gave this people enough time to take as pictures..
" Can we go now?" He said
"Did you have to do that? Now our pictures will be all
over social media is that what you want?"
" I don't mind be seen with you.. any way I wanna even
smile to them come on let's give them something to talk
about"
" Am not going to give them a wrong information.. come
on let's go then"
* We went to his car and he opened the door for me,
making all those girls to scream and he went to his side
and drove off..
" Where would you like to eat your launch"
" Steers"
" Like ribs?"
" No I want burger"
" Ok will drive to the one cross the street at petrol
station, is not too crowded"
" Now you also worry about the unemployed media?"
" No I was doing it for you unless if you want us to go
straight to the mall"
" No thank you this one is fine"
* He parked and we went in in steers and people were
looking at us. We order and eat over a small chat.
" Can you please tell me about you" he said
" Some kind of interview or what?"
" Lol no I just want to know you"
" Ask anything you want to know"
" Ok.. Bongi how old are you"
" 23 turning 24 in some months to come"

59
" Oh you look way too young for that age.."
" Meaning?"
" You look 18 "
" Lol I know I have a baby face but 18 no at least 20 not
18"
" Haha so your Still studying?"
" Yes actually about to start again cuz I just got the
bursary"
" So you got delayed because of money?"
" Yes"
" Oh too bad"
" Ya we don't all be fortunate some of as grow in poor
family"
" I know"
" You do? You just seem like someone who was raised in
milk and honey"
" You can say that but I know so many people who have
been there and am now one of the people who donate to
the orphan and also give bursary and talking about that,
can you do me a favour please"
" It depends on what you ask me to do"
" I want you to accompany me to the orphanage home
anniversary"
" No thanks"
" Please"
* We were done eating, and we just sitting there talking
and I could see that the manager want us to give other
people space but he is afraid to come.
" Traizel I think we have stayed longer than our
welcomed time can we go now? The manager is about to
lose it.."
" Lol i thought you didn't notice, I don't know why this
people are afraid of me.."
" You don't know?"
" Yes or you know?"
" Is because you look scary"

60
" Me scary am just a normal guy, handsome and sweet"
* I laughed. Did he just say he is sweet?? Anyway he
drove me home and he couldn't stop asking me to go
with him at the anniversary and I ended up agreeing,
even though I don't know what am going to wear.
Nancy's POV
It has been a week since I stayed at my parent's house, I
was busy trying to convince my father to come and take
me but it looks like am not winning. That day when I got
here the security guard told me that someone was here
looking for me and the way he described the person, it is
Katlego and that means he is also looking for me. Yes it
is possible after what I did, with sending his lawyer my
father's name, by now he might know that am
responsible for the missing money. I regret the day I
agreed to be my father's key to success..
Sibongile's POV
It was Saturday morning, the day that I have to go to the
orphanage home anniversary with Traizel. I dragged
myself to the bathroom did same hygiene process. I then
wore blue mini skirt and white crop-top with addidas
Snickers, planned to go to the mall. I have to get
something that I will wear today. It was already 8 and he
said we will be leaving at around 4 so that he will be able
to see the children first. I don't have any fancy dresses,
Katlego never took me to serious occasions or event. He
always said his parents will also be there and his not
ready to introduce me to them. I went downstairs and
Lily was already eating her breakfast..
" Morning baby" I said
" Morning love"
" How are you sweetheart?"
" Am fine honey what about you"
" Am good wifey"
**We laughed cuz that's how Alex call her.

61
" So where are you going?" She asked me
" To the mall. I don't have anything to wear so I will use
my last savings to at least get a dress"
" Come on i have so many dresses, some I didn't even
wear. We can take you to salon. Wait am going to
change"
**She run upstairs. Oh how did I forget?? I got the
bursary and am now continuing with my studies. Looks
like my life is getting back to track now. As for Traizel, I
don't even know what we are cuz since that day he
picked me up from the university, he never stopped
calling and coming over to see me. Lily came back and
we left to the salon..
Katlego's POV
My life is just a mess, no work, no girlfriend just me
njeh. Alex spend lot of time with his girlfriend and he no
longer come to see me like before. I was in my study
room when i received an invitation to the Orphanage
home anniversary and as big as I used to be I know some
of the business man will expect to see me there. I called
Alex to come over and he arrived within 30 minutes..
Alex: Anything new?
Me: About the Ncgobo family?
Alex: Yes and also about you..
Me: I haven't found anything and about me, am hundred
percent sure you can see for yourself..
Alex: Come on stop pressing yourself down..
Me:Am already down man, I have fallen..
Alex: I know and I meant to stop pressing yourself down
instead of trying to get back up again.
Me: I have nothing.. I only have 20k in my account. That
is only going to last me some few months.. Anyway
enough about that. I called you her so that we can go to
the orphanage home anniversary later on.
Alex: You should have told me, so that I come along with
my most expensive suit..
62
Me: Come on i will give you one of my expensive ones
** We laughed. I knew that Alex will want to go. At least I
will clear my mind and have some good time there.**
Alex: You have to man, last year I almost took the spot
light. But that dude called Traizel killed it.
Me: Lol he will also be there, he never miss this kind of
occasions.
Alex: But I know I will be the second best.
Me: And me?
Alex: You what?
* We laughed
Alex: What are you eating am hungry. In case the
thought of being to the anniversary got me hungry those
people spend a lot on food and alcohol. I just can't wait,
that means free alcohol and food
Me: lol now you will have to pay buddy.. Am no longer
working so your the one who will have to pay whenever
we go out..
** You should have seen the look he gave me.. I burst out
laughing. This guy and spending will never get along**
Me: Come on let's go upstairs we need to do some hair
cut and shaving maybe I will get myself a rich girlfriend
there.
Alex: Your not thinking about sugar mamas right?
Me: Am if they are available, am in.
Alex: Sis man.
Me: Come on.. is not like i have a choice, besides I just
want a job nothing more.
Alex: So your going to use your charm on those old ladies
so that they hire you?
Me: Thank you..
Alex: Geez man.. they will definitely want something in
return.
Me: And I give them..
Alex: God!! Your so disgusting.

63
Me: I know lol
Alex: Mxm
**We went to my room to prepare for tonight. What I said
earlier on about sugar mamas, I mean it. Am going to do
anything to get my life on track again. There is nothing I
will do with just matric, so I have to find some options to
have a good normal life**
Sibongile's POV
After relaxing my hair and curling it at the end we went
back home to find something I cañ wear. I don't like
weaves cuz my natural hair is pretty long and strong. Lily
got me a beautiful royal blue mermaid dress with short
sleeve. It was simply open at the back and also a v-shape
on my chest, exposing little of my cleavage. I then wore
blue sandals heel. Lily did my make up, i only use eye
liner, mascara, and lipstick.
Lily: Wow girl you so beautiful.
Me: I am?
Lily: Don't be silly, look at you.
Me: All thanks to you love.
Lily: No I didn't do anything your just so cute. Naturally
beautiful.
Me: Now come on let's go downstairs am sure he is on
his way now.
** We went downstairs and before I could even sit down,
someone knocked and my heart just started pounding
faster. Am about to go out with a billioner. Do I look good
enough to be around him? I mean everyone knows him
and will also expect some standard from me. Will he find
me attractive?? Gosh Bongi.. You and Traizel are just
friends.. Lily went to open the door an she came back
followed by Traizel, he was also wearing a blue suit with
white shirt and black shoes and you can just smile the
expensiveness on him**

64
Lily : Your date is here miss
* Date? Really now? Lily acted like a little girl after
getting some candis..
Traizel: Wow
Lily: That all you managed to say? I know she is hot, you
must be sweating right now..
Me: Jesu.. Lily
Traizel: Sweating is just understatement am burning.
* They laughed.. ok.
Traizel: Can we go now my lady?
Me: Yes.
** I took my clashbag and we went out to his car. He
opened the door for me and went to his driving site. And
we drove off**
Traizel: You look so beautiful
Me: Thank you Mr Matthews you also look good..
Traizel: I know lol. Can you just call me Traizel or give
me a name that you will feel comfortable calling me
with..
Me: You sure, you want me to give you a name?
Traizel: As long as you will stop calling me Mr Matthews
am ok with any name.
Me: Ok
Traizel: So what will you call me?
Me: Am Tony..
Traizel: As Tony Stark in Iron man?
Me: Yes you look more like him and besides is my
favourite movie..
Traizel: Which makes me your favourite person..
Me: Oh no don't get it wrong, I was..
Traizel: There is nothing wrong with liking someone bee
and..
Me: Don't call me that..
Traizel: Why not?
Me: Long story.
Traizel: Am.. ok.

65
**We got to the orphanage home and Traizel parked in
the parking lot and opened for me.. Before we could even
walk in , some children came out running shouting Uncle
Trai.. They were all over him having some group hug.**
Traizel: Enough.. Enough don't you want to meet aunty
Bongi? Say hello..
** They all said hello like they are singing
Me: Hello
Traizel: Come now let's go in..
** We went in to a place looking like a playing room and
Traizel started playing with them. I was just there looking
at him, the way he showed love to them. I just wonder
how will he treat his own children. He kneeled down to
play with them and is so rare to find someone with class,
rich like him doing all this. Some were going to be
worried about their expensive suit and shoes but him, he
is just so different am so glad that I experienced this
other side of him**
Sibongile's POV
We were still at the orphanage home. And Traizel was
busy talking to the other lady, who seems like a care
giver. I was playing with the other kid when this lady
come to me. She seated next to me and look at me. She
looked at me for a while.
Her: You must be special.
Me: Sorry!??
Her: You must be so special to him. He have never came
with a girl here.
Me: Even his girlfriend?
Her: We just saw her on media but he never came here
with her.
Me: Oh maybe she is too busy.
Her: So you know that he have a girlfriend?
Me: He never said anything about her or I will say I never
asked and I also saw her on media.
Her: So your dating him while you know that he do have
66
someone?
Me: Am.. we are not dating we are just friends..
Her: Oh but when he called yesterday to let as know that
he is coming, he said he will be with our aunty meaning
his girlfriend.
Me: Lol am sure he was just joking.. am just his friend.
Her: Ok if you say so but I will be there to remind you at
your wedding.
Me: Haha come on
Her: I will remind you..
** Traizel Come and the lady attempted to go.
Traizel: Woah Suzan I also want to hear what you were
telling her. It seems like something funny by the way she
was smiling.
Her: I was just admiring her beauty Uncle Traizel.
Traizel: Why do I feel like your lying to me.
Me: Come on Tony it was just some girls staff.
Traizel: Ohk can we go now miss.
Me: Yes sir
** We went out and he opened the door for me and went
to the driving site.
I was surprised that the event is held in another place.
Me: Can I ask you something..
Him: Am.. we do it at my hotel reason being we want to
get so many people to donate and to offer our guests
good service.
Me: Who said I wanna ask you that?
Him: You gave me some questioning eyes when I opened
the car door for you..
Me: Oh so am that easy to read.
Him: Lol not my words..
Me: Or maybe you can read minds..
Him: I would like to..
Me: So what to expect, I mean is my first time going
there.
Him: Just a normal event with lot of rich people and

67
those bubbly ladies who enjoy their man's wealth..
Me: Oh..
*** I don't want to lie, his words didn't sit me well and I
don't know way.
Katlego's POV
After getting ready with Alex we drove to the hotel that
the event will take place. It was already packed when we
got there. Just some few minutes left for the event to
start. We went in and find as an empty table and settled.
Alex: Damn man this place is so packed with rich people,
some of them I don't even know.
Me: Yah they like this kind of event. Couse is were they
show off, the time to donate is coming you will feel them.
Alex: They be like.. I will give 50000?
Me: That is nothing, they talk 5 zeros upwards.
Alex: They are loaded huh. I want to be this rich man, I
should associate with the best man himself..
Me: Traizel?
Alex: Yes
Me: He is not that easy man to talk to.. He so scary you
just need to know your thing to associate with that guy.
Alex: Have you tried?
Me: So many times..
** We continued talking until the event started. Traizel
was the one talking on the stage. I didn't see him coming,
which means he was already here when we arrived. He
welcomed as and gave the microphone to the other guy.
And he went to his table.
Alex: Holly shit!!!
Me: What?
Alex: Am maybe my eyes are showing me things, but Lily
once told me they know each other..
Me: Man what are you on about.
Alex: Check Traizel's table.
** I looked but I don't get Alex's point. Traizel was seating
with some two ladies and his friend Liyo.
68
Alex: You don't recognise her, do you?
Me: Just tell me I don't get what your talking about.
Alex: Take a good look of the lady in blue dress.
**I looked at her
Me: What???
** The place was so quite and some people were looking
at me, am sure i said that out loud. I took my glass and
drink it with one go. I couldn't believe what am seeing,
Sibongile is with Traizel. Yes she is with him cuz the
other lady is Liyo's wife. She was laughing and talking to
the other lady.
Alex: Man you look so stressed..
Me: Am not, am just surprised.
Alex: Surprised? You shouldn't be.
Me: I shouldn't be?
Alex: Yes.. why are you actually.
Me: She is just acting like a gold-digger..
Alex: And that worries you? Bongi is fire we all know
that, and that is your bad that you didn't see her worth
now leave her alone my friend.
Me: Alex you know what am talking about.
Alex: I don't know, just tell me.
Me: Mxm shut up then.
Alex: You shouldn't be jealous man.. remember you left
her.
Me: She is still mine Alex. If Traizel want her, I will take
her home and he will go get her himself.
Alex: God!! you sound like a high school boy.
Traizel's POV
I was having fun so far, and Sibongile is also comfortable
with Sihle, Liyo's wife. Time to pledge come and as usual
I was the last one to give 1,5million. And now it was time
for fundraising and the other man went to the stage to
announce how we gonna do it.
Man: This year we gonna do it differently. There is a man
walking around with basket with papers inside. Everyone

69
in here must take a paper. You do whatever it said or pay
money over 10000.
** The basket came to our table and I got dance, Liyo and
Sibongile is sing Sihle is modeling. The guy called anyone
from table to table some did what they are requested to
do, but most of them payed. Am also going to pay cuz
dance isn't my thing. The man pointed to as and Sihle
went to the stage and model..
Me: Haha so you guys are going to sing?
Liyo: Am such a horrible singer, they should have given
you this one.. plus I missed to hear you sing.
Bongi: He can sing?
Liyo: Perfectly. And you are you going to sing?
Bongi: I guess so. I don't have that kind of money to pay.
Me: I can pay for you.
Bongi: No thanks, I will sing.
Me: Are you sure?
Bongi: Yes
** I don't want to lie I was worried about her. Sihle came
back and me and Liyo payed and it was her turn. She
confidently walked to the stage, but she was little shy.
Man: Wow I didn't notice we have beautiful ladies in this
place, my lady what are you going to do for us? I pray it
be modeling or dancing cuz the way you walk,
you shake mountains.
Bongi: Am going to sing.
Man: Did you guys hear that voice? Melody itself.
** People Cheered up.. I was getting jealous cuz now all
man's eyes are on her. I can now see her proper from far
and man, God created her first I swear. She is so
gorgeous, have a beautiful body. Everything is in place,
this girl is so beautiful. She whispered something to the
DJ and took the mic.
Her: I will be singing Remedy by Adele

70
I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to
be..
So disparate to flow it out of my world and finally
breath..
But before my eyes are soo.. my heart it came to light..
Isn't easy, is not meant to be, every storm we has is gone.
When the pain couse you deep, and the night keeps you
from sleeping
Just look and you will see that I will be your remedy..
When the world seems so cool and your heart makes you
feel like a fool
I promise you will see, I will be..i will be.. your remedy
** She started to sing and wow she is so good, flowing
with it and everyone was amazed. She sounded like
Adele. When she finished to sing, people started making
noise requesting her to sing again but she just smiled
and came back to the table and that when I noticed she
was crying.
Sihle: Girl your so good.
Liyo: Good?? She is amazing.
Bongi: Traizel take me home.
Me: Come on let's go
Liyo: Is everything ok??
Me: I just hope so.
** She walked out and I followed her to my car. I
unlocked the car and she opened the door for herself and
got in. Am confused what will be the cause of her
reaction. I was about to drive when Mr Williams come
running to my car. He knocked on Bongi's side window
and I opened the window..
Him: So your going to leave without greeting me huh?
*She didn't reply
Him: Oh come on get out now.
Me: What is going on here Mr Williams?
Him: Am she didn't tell you? She is my girlfriend.
Me: Your what?
71
Him: You heard me Mr Matthews
Me: Ohk but she doesn't look so happy to see you and for
that fact am not going to let you take her.
Him: Come on Mr Matthews we don't want to couse
unnecessary fight do we?
Me: I don't think they will be any fight if you can just go
away and let me take her home, you will go to her house.
Him: That is not going to happen
** Bongi was crying all along. I started the engine and he
pulled her hair though the window and she moaned in
pain. I don't know how but that got me burning, I got out
of the car and punched him on the face. He tried to
punch back but I kicked him and he lost balance and fall
and the security came running to us..
Me: Take this shit out of my hotel now..
** The guards took him and I got in the car and drove in
silent.We got to her house. I parked on the drive way and
she tempted to open the door but I locked it.
Me: Your just going to go without explaining what was
that all about?
Her: I don't want to talk about it..
Me: Ok.
**I unlocked the door and she quickly got out and run to
the door. I just know she is going to cry herself to sleep, I
wish I could just get in and cuddle her and let her cry in
my arms. That busted must be abusing her. I drove back
to the hotel hoping to find that idiot there.

I was here looking at her, I never took my eyes on her,

72
since Alex showed me her my mind is no longer
functioning well. She was happy, smiling like never
before. Yes I admit I was stupid to let her go, waste part
is the way a treated her. I chose sex over someone i love.
Looking at her now I could see she is really in peace, she
is enjoying. And the way Traizel look at her breaks me
into pieces. Her turn came and she went to the stage. I
know she is a good singer and her favourite is Adele, she
knows almost all of her songs. She used to sing for me
when ever we cuddle at night and I so miss those days.
Looking at her standing just there, looking so beautiful
and all man in here are looking at her in lust and I feel
like I can just squeeze their bolls now.
Alex: Damn man look at her.
Me: Ish man..
Alex: I swear you regret leaving her.
Me: Regret is just another word that I can't use right
now. But I swear I will do anything to get her back.
Alex: You should try and never act stupid again. I know
she still love you but she may not want to be with you
again.
Me: I will try to deal with that I know she hate me now
but am willing to fight for her.
Alex: Did you treat her bad or you just disappeared? You
never told me how you guys separated.
Me: I don't want to talk about that.
***I focused on the stage and my eyes met hers. She
looked at me for some time and I saw a sliver line
drawing it way down to her cheeks. God damat she was
crying and i know am the couse. She finished singing
and went back to the table but she just took her
belongings and walk out, followed by Traizel.
Me: Man am coming
Alex: Don't do anything stupid out there, if she doesn't
want to talk to you let her be.
Me: I won't..
** My anger was already forming, I don't wanna lie it
73
burns me to see her with another man.i ran out and they
were already in the car. I knocked on the window and
she opened..
Me: So your going to leave without greeting me huh?
*She didn't reply
Me: Oh come on get out now.
Traizel: What is going on here Mr Williams?
Me: Am she didn't tell you? She is my girlfriend.
Traizel: Your what?
Me: You heard me Mr Matthews
Traizel: Ohk but she doesn't look so happy to see you
and for that fact am not going to let you take her.
Me: Come on Mr Matthews we don't want to couse
unnecessary fight do we?
** I deep down knew that I don't want to have an conflict
with this guy.. He can destroy me with just a blink of an
eye
Traizel: I don't think they will be any fight if you can just
go away and let me take her home, you will go to her
house.
Me: That is not going to happen.
** He may look all muscular build but I can fight him
and am not going to let him get away with her. He started
the engine to go, I tried to hold Bongi's hand but she
quickly shifted and I pulled her hair. Before I knew it
Traizel punched me, I tried to punch back but he kicked
me and I lost balance and fall. The security came and he
told them to get me out and he got in his car and drove
away.
Me: Leave me alone you bastard!!
Guard: We just doing our job sir
** They dragged me outside the gate and locked it. My
car was in there, I called Alex and he quickly came out.
Alex: I knew your going to misbehave.
Me: Not now man.. tell those shit to let me take my car.
Alex: Just give me your car keys and I will get it out for

74
you.
Me: Here.
** I gave him the keys and he went to the parking lot.
Alex will have to tell me where his girlfriend stay, I want
to talk to Bongi. I want to remind her how she got here, it
seems like she forget so easy. Alex got out with my car.
Me: Thank you man.. You have to give me your
girlfriend's address, that bastard didn't let me talk to her.
Alex: it's late now, you will go there tomorrow.
Me: Ya I know but give me the address now
Alex: Ok.
** He took out his phone and sent me the address
Me: So your not coming with me?
Alex: No man it is still lit in here, I will see you tomorrow.
Me: You and free things...
Alex: is not just that, I told you I want some connections.
Me: Good luck.
* I got in my car and drove away. I met Traizel going back
to the hotel, maybe he dropped her there. I drove to my
house and I will go see Bongi tomorrow morning.

After Traizel dropped me home, I went upstairs and am
glad Lily was already asleep. I took a quick shower and
wore an oversized t-shirt and went downstairs. I went to
the kitchen, I opened the fridge and take out ice cream
container and a spoon. It was almost finished so I ate
from the container. I try so hard to forget what happened
today, am tired of crying. I think I cried enough, from
back home and when Katlego left me, so hai I no longer
want to hurt myself. I know it still hurt to think about
him and mostly the things he did to me, all good and
bad. Thinking of all he did for me, just made me realise
that the good are so many compared to the bad but am
not saying I can still get back to him, no I will never do
75
that cuz once a man know how to raise his hands on
you, it never stops. I finished eating and throw the
container in the bin and went upstairs to my room, got to
bed , under covers and dozed off.

💮Traizel's POV💮
I got back to the hotel and the guards told me that Mr
Williams is gone. I lost respect for him, the problem is I
can't pronounce his name well and I think he no longer
deserve to be called Mr, he such an asshole, woman
beater. I ask the guards to show me the man who helped
him get his car and they showed me, I went inside to
him.
Me: Hey man..
Him: Am. Evening Mr Matthews
Me: Can I talk to you for few minutes.
Him: Sure
Me: Thanks. How do you know Mr Williams?
Him: He is my friend.
Me: Bongi?
Him: His ex girlfriend..
Me: Oh do you by any chance know how they separated?
Him: Am, that I don't know but is been like 8 months
since they separated.
Me: Ok thank you for your information Mr?
Him: Browns.. Alexandra Browns but you can Cal me
Alex.
Me: Thank you Alex.
**I turned to go and he cleared his throat.
Him: Excuse me Mr Matthews, am... I have a proposal
that I would like you to look on. Actually I need some
investor and I was hoping if you would..
Me: Ok
** I took out my card and gave him

76
Me: Monday 9:00, don't be late
Him: Thank you.
** I went back to my table, lucky that Liyo is still here. I
don't know what I feel right now, relieved that they are
not dating or worried that I didn't make her mine yet!!
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I quickly got off bed because of the noise coming from
downstairs. Is like Lily and Alex are fighting, I flipped in
my morning sleeper and run downstairs. But I stopped
on the last step noticing the person Lily was shouting at,
he looked at me as he was facing my direction all along
and Lilian also turned to look at me.
.
.
Katlego: Bongi we need to talk.
Lily: What language do you hear? I said she doesn't want
to talk to you.
Katlego: Just close your big mouth and let her speak for
herself. Bongi can you change and take a walk with me?
We serious need to talk.
.
**I just looked at him.. to tell the truth I didn't know
what to say or if I should talk to him. But what does he
want from me?**
Katlego: Bongi am talking to you..
Lily: Isn't it clear that she doesn't want to talk to you? In
fact you have gone too far and I want you out of my
house now..
Katlego: You even call this a house mxm
Lily: What do you have huh? Now that she took your
money and run away, your here bagging Bongi to talk to
you..
** Ohk I didn't know what Lily is on about.
Katlego: Shut up.. I don't even know what Alex saw in

77
you. And for you( he pointed at me) I thought I will take
this the smooth way but no you want a war so I will give
you one.
** And with that he walked out.. I no longer want
anything to do with him. I wish I talked to him now in
front of Lilian, cuz I really don't know his plan. I went
and sit on the couch and Lily's words nocked in**
.
Me: Lily what did you mean by saying she run away with
his money..
Lily: Alex told me some weeks ago that his mistress
cleaned the company money along with his personal
account and run away. His father also kicked him out of
his company. As you look at him now , he has nothing.
Me: Wow
** That all I managed to say and deep down I felt sorry
for him.
Lily: Don't tell me you feel sorry for him??
Me: No is just that what happened to him is too bad.
Lily: So what?? He deserves everything that happened
and Coming his way..
Me: Katlego doesn't have any qualifications, that is only
going to lead him straight to hell and his praid, is
something else.
Lily: Bongi don't worry about that moron.. Now go take a
bath Traizel will be here in an hour, he was here earlier
and I told him to leave as you were sleeping.
Me: I also don't want to see him..
Lily: What for?
Me: You ask me what for? Why didn't you ask me when
you went forward and tell Katlego that I don't want to
talk to him but your here telling me to meet up with
Traizel..
** Ok that was harsh and Lily just looked at me and
disbelieve and I turned to go to my bedroom. I went to
the bathroom and take a quick shower, not that I want to

78
meet Traizel. But I I want to go before he get here. I wore
a short black dress and white all-star, my hair was still
curled so I just brushed it and take my handbag and
went downstairs. Lily was eating breakfast, I walked
straight to the door avoiding her and she didn't say
anything. I went out, anyway I had to go to school and
collect my study material. I got a cab and off I went*"
.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
I went to Bongi's house earlier on but she was still asleep
and her friend suggested that I come later as she don't
want to disturb her sleep. I was here again, i parked on
the drive way and knocked. Lilian opened and invited me
in.
Lily: Am.. Bongi went out.
Me: Oh?? To where?
Lily: I don't know she didn't say anything to me.
Me: Ok but you did tell her that I was coming right?
Lily: Yes.
Me: Lily I know this isn't right but can you just tell me
about Bongi and that Williams guy?
Lily: if you asked before I would have told you but now, I
don't want to ever get in any business concerning Bongi.
Me: What happened?
Lily: Katlego was also here earlier and I told him to go out
and that Bongi don't want to talk to him.. Bongi was here
and she didn't say anything but when I told her that your
coming, It turned like am choosing who she can
associate with.
Me: Oh.. I understand but a little information might help.
How really did they break up?
Lily: I was serious,. Am not going to talk about her.
Me: Fine and thanks for your time.
** I went out to my car and drove off. I drove straight to
the Williams company. I got there and parked at the
parking lot and went in, and to the receptionist. This
79
place got quite when I got in, making me miss my own
company as my stuff will do the same we I walk in**
"Can I see Mr Williams please" I said to the receptionist
and as I expected she was trying to flirt with me,
swinging her tiny little breast.
" Mr Williams is no longer walking here. He got the
company bankrupt and his father kicked him out" she
said
** Ok lot of information. I walked out to my car and the
thing that Lily said about Bongi, it looks like she want to
get back to him.
.
.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
After going out of Lilian's house, I didn't go home but I
parked out side far but close enough to see Bongi's
movements. Within 2 hours she came out and got in a
cab and I followed her. Only to find out that she is going
to the university. Oh now she is back to school?? I don't
know but it break me to know that bustard is also taking
her to school. I waited and when she came out and I
quickly got out to her..
" Bongi I was dead serious when I said we need to talk"
she froze and looked at him.
" Katlego stop following me around"
" Come get in the car" I pulled her to my car and she
looked bother her side and came with me, think she
didn't want to couse unnecessary attention.we got in the
car and I slowly drove.
" Bongi, are you dating Traizel?"
" That doesn't concern you."
" Oh it doesn't? Bongi i know I messed up and I will like
to fix things between us"
" I forgave you long time ago, you don't have to fix
anything"
" Thank you but am talking about us getting back
80
together"
" Katlego there is no us please"
" There is Bongi. And we have no choice and we belong
together"
" Haha not after what you did to me katlego, I will never
get back to you"
" Get out of my car Bongi."
" No take me back rather than leaving me here in the
middle of nowhere"
" Get out" she shake a little and opened the door
" Tomorrow am taking you back home, it seems like you
easily forget Where you come from. I messed up and I
learned the lesson and now what I want is you but you
are also pushing me" I said that and drove away leaving
her there hanged. I have to take advantage of everything
to get her back to me.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
After Katlego left I walked back to the university to get a
cab as I couldn't get one when I was there. His words
sinked in and I couldn't stop thinking about them. I
know he have done so much for me but at the same time
did the worst. He might regret it now but am too scared
at him and even if we get back together, it will no longer
be as it used to be. Yes he hurt me but I think a second
chance won't hurt. Or it will? Yes I feel bad because he
done so much for me and it now looks like I just enjoyed
him supporting me when I was down but I can't do the
same when he is down. I got a cab and went back home.
Lily wasn't there so I went to my room and changed to
my addidas tracksuits and morning sleeper and went to
prepare lunch. I prepared chicken salad and toasted
bread. I dished for myself and went to the sitting room
and eat well watching TV. Lily got in and also went to eat
on the kitchen table. I know I didn't talk to her in a good
way earlier on but am not ready to apologies.

81
" Bongi am sorry for what I did, I didn't know that you
and Traizel are also fighting" she finally said and she is
not the one who should apologies but me
" No am sorry cuz I didn't talk to you in a right way and
also tell you what I want" I said
" Ok so what are you going to do"
" I think I should give him another chance"
" What????" She said with her eyes popped out and
mouth open
" Bongi you really know what your getting yourself into
right? Man Don't change my friend, once he slap you he
will never get his hands in his pocket when you are
having an disagreement. He will surely beat you any
chance he get"
" Come on Lily.. Katlego was not like that before, I think
that Nancy girl had something to do on that. And besides
dating Traizel will just bring much attention that I don't
want"
" Don't get me wrong, am not trying to choose who you
should date am just worried. At least date someone else.
Not him nor Traizel please"
" is only a second chance Lily and this time am not going
to stay with him. My bursary is giving me enough that I
can afford a flat"
" No your not going anywhere.. You know you can stay
here"
" I thought I will, incase you have a problem with me
getting back to Katlego"
" I do have a problem but is your life after all and I
respect any decision you make"
" Thank you for understanding"
** Lily and I continued talking but I could see she doesn't
approve my decision. Am not afraid that Katlego can take
me back home, is just that he is the one who took care of
me, out of my miserable life. The reason why I got to
university, he might have done what he did to me but I

82
value his efforts and for that am going to give him a
second chance**
.
💮Nancy's POV💮
.
I wanted to cook but I run out of groceries, and I have no
choice but to go get something. My life is just a mass,
people are reminded about me every single day on the
media to report if they ever see me and now am about to
get myself in risk. This is when I wish I still have maid
and the security guard, I was going to send them but no i
fired them cuz some how I thought they will spit it out
that am here. I told them am also going away so there
will be no one to pay them. I jogged upstairs to my room
and change to Nike tracksuits with Nike kicks, I then
wore my long Brazilian wig and round big shades. I then
took my father's car keys and my hand bag and went to
the garage and drove off. I got to the mall and parked at
the parking lot, I was so scared to get off and part of me
say I should just drive back but I got out and went to
pick'n pay. I took a trolley and started taking in what I
need, making sure I don't make eye contact with anyone.
As I was busy I met Traizel geez, this guy is everywhere. I
quickly turned my trolley to go back .
Him: Hi not that first..
** My GOD.. I left the trolley and run, only for the
security guard to stop me at the door. I tried pushing
them but one of the was holding my wig and it got off.
But we need to check your bag. I looked behind and
Traizel was coming, I tried to push them but the pushed
me and I fell. Mxm what do they think I will take when I
have a lot of money to can buy the whole store. "Today it
is my last day of being free and tonight I will be sleeping
in jail" that what I told myself when Traizel took off my
shades when I was still down. People who were watching
started screaming " is her the lady on the new" I just
stayed down waiting for them police to pick me and
83
throw me in their Van.
.
Trai: You should have listened when I talked to you, non
of this would have happened.
Me: Like you were just going to leave me be me.
Trai: We both know I have been watching you and I just
wanted you to suffer when you have that money you
stole but you didn't want to. So ya Police are on the way,
and I will come get answers when i visit you tomorrow.
Me: Don't even dare come to see me.
*I guess he didn't hear me cuz he was already going back
to the store. I just closed my eyes and before I knew it I
was being picked by the p you police, media was also
there taking pictures and that's it. The end of me but am
going to make sure my dad pays the hard way*
.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
I was in my room when i received a call that Nancy has
been arrested. I quickly changed into jeans and black t-
shirt with brown jacket and addidas Snickers . I jogged
downstairs to the garage and drove to the police station. I
got there and ask to see her.. they showed me were to
wait and came with her wearing her clothes, I was
expecting her in those orange clothes but I guess is too
early. She sat down on the chair and faced down..
Me: Where is my money?
Her: With my dad..
Me: What did you do that to me? You know I loved you
and trusted you. And I mistakenly thought you love me..
Her: Lol love?? Ntombi love? This is how I was born and
raised I don't even know that such thing exists.
Me: So I had to fall on your victims list? Do you know
how bad my life is now? The 20k you left is almost
finished. I had to hire IT specialist, private investigator to
get hold of you and now I only left with few thousands
that won't even last me the whole of this month. All
84
because of you hah?
Her: That is your problem.. can i be taken back to my cell
please..
* She said that to the police and they took her leaving me
there still looking at her in disbelieve. I only left with
5000r with all my needs it won't last me a month, I will
just be down on my knees living a life I never lived before
or even thought I will live.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
It was late at night. I was in my room trying to sleep,
after I tried calling Katlego with no reply. My phone
started ringing and I quickly took it thinking it may be
him but no it was Traizel mxm.
<What?>
<Woah!! Did i wake you up? Am sorry>
I suddenly felt bad for snapping at him
<No just that am not in the good mood>
<Oh what may be bothering you?>
<My life..>
<Can I cheer you up as you tell me what's wrong? Am
outside your house>
<What are you doing here at this time?>
<Bored and I couldn't sleep. Come out please..>
<Ok but I won't wait for too long><
I hanged up and went out. He parked at the sat of the
gate.. I went and he opened the door for me and I got in.
His eyes traveled from my head and stuck on my thighs..
Damn I should have changed this. I was wearing my PJ
short and vest without bra and panties, I know he won't
notice for panties but my breast are pretty much showing
nipples.
Me: Stop staring
Him: Is called looking

85
Me: What ever it is just stop it. Your now making me
uncomfortable.
Him: Sorry.. Bongi i wanted to talk about that day..
Me: What about it.
Him: Just wanna know way you were like that.
Me: Ok. My ex boyfriend which you already know, whom
took me from nothing to something was there and it was
my first time making eye contact with him after we had a
bad breakup.
Him: Oh so what was the cause of your break up?
Me: He cheated
Him: And you couldn't handle it?
Me: Yes and I broke up with him.
** I lied I couldn't have him be trying to get to me by bad
mouthing Katlego.
Him: Oh and it seems like you still care..
Me: I do and in fact I want to go for a second chance..
Him: What?? Bongi we men don't change as you people
think. If he once cheated, he will definitely repeat that.
Me: And that's when I will leave him for good.
Him: So you wanna give him a second chance to break
your heart again?
Me: Why do you think he will? I wanna just act positive
and try to fix were we went wrong..
Him: Really Bongi? I know you might take this somehow
from the person you know that he want you and..
Me: What do you mean?
Him: I think you already know Bongi.. I love you and i
promise to never break your heart please give me a
chance to prove that to you. Please don't get back to him.
Me: Oh so that is why you sad that all so you can make
yourself a space to get in?
Him: Don't take it like that.. I always wanted to tell you
but you never gave me time to.

86
Me: Thank you Traizel for keeping me company.. I think
you should go since you just made me fell sleepy..
Him: Please don't go
** I got off his car and went in leaving him calling for me
mxm I knew he want me.. that is way he said all that. I
know Katlego hurt me but that girl is no longer on our
way now and we will get to fix things. The fact is I still
love him.
.
.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
After Bongi left I slowly drove back to my house. I know
she was lying to me about that guy only cheating on her.
He must have been also abusing here, if not were did he
get all the strength to pull her with her hair? Especially
when he want forgiveness.. No one can do that to a girl
he still love and respect. That just looked like a jealous
man whom can't stand seeing his ex with someone else
or doing good without them. And Bongi is just getting
back with him because of what ever that he have done
for her, I can see she no longer love him. She is just
feeling guilty or the guy is blackmailing her. I know is not
my place to fight but I will fight for what I want,
especially for her that she can't see that the guy is just
trying to get her back since he can't afford the fancy life
he used to have and she is only the victim.
.💮Katlego's POV💮
.
It was Friday morning, I woke up and take a hot long
shower even though I don't know where I will go. I
lottioned and wore black jeans and white t-shirt and
white all-star, I took my phone only to get 12 missed
calls from Bongi and 2 from Alex. Yesterday I was so
87
stressed that I got home and sleep and my phone was
silent. It hurts to know that I was betrayed by the girl
that I thought loves me. I know I didn't love her but sex.
Yes that is the only thing that dragged me to her and I
regret it, I lost everything just because of sex that Bongi
gave me but no i wanted more and I was stupid I admit. I
called Alex and he said he is going to be here within 15
minutes and yes at record time he was ringing the bell. I
went downstairs and open for him.
Me: Hey man
Him: Hey. How have you being? I had that Nancy is in
jail
Me: Ya I visited her yesterday..
Him: And?
Me: We didn't talk that much but I won't give up i want
my money back.
Him: But the company is doing ok..
Me: How do you know that?
Him: Was there yesterday and hey Traizel invested on my
project, am going up man..
Me: Turn it off
Him: What do you mean?
Me: You can't be connecting with my enemies and also
making money for them.
** I know he won't, even if I try to convince him. The fact
is I can't stand him being higher than me.
Him: No man you must find a way to deal with it cuz this
is not only giving Mr Matthews money but also me, you
know how long I have been trying to get an investor and
you even couldn't help so it is how it is.
Me: Is not like am trying to get the bread off your mouth
is just..
Him: No that is exactly what your trying to do. Katlego
you can't be creating enemies when your so down. Traizel

88
is the kind of people you should try to associate with cuz
with only your matric, no one will know your professional
in fact Traizel Knows that you were doing good for your
dad's company.
Me: I can't.. Traizel is trying to have Bongi and I can't
stand that.
Him: Oh i see.. You can't stand to see bee happy. What's
wrong with you? You are the one who blocked her out
and you should find a way to deal with that.
Me: What ever.. I want her back.
Him: You no longer love her, what really do you still want
with her.
Me: I still care an in fact I can't afford the types of girls I
want now.
Him: How dare you?? Bongi is a good girl Katlego please
stop taking advantage of her..
Me: When did you become Mr lovey dovey?
Him: Since you told me that I don't worth being your
friend cuz I can't settle down..
Me: Damn man I didn't mean that..
Him: You didn't but it got to me and thank you cuz now I
have a girl in my life. An I won't promote what you want
to do with Bee, just go find yourself another slut.
Me: Why are you being so protective? In fact let me show
you that she is still into me..
** I took out my phone and call Bongi and she picked up
on the second ring..
Her<hey>
<Hey I missed your calls. My phone was silent>
<Ohk just wanted to check on you>
<When are you moving in with me?>
<Come on Katlego you don't even apologies for your
behaviour...>
<You never gave me any chance to and I will say it now

89
that am so damn sorry bee >
<I know but we will have to meet and talk this out>
<Ok I will come take you. 7:00?>
<7:00 it is bye>
** I disconnected
Me: See
Alex: Mxm I kind of hate you right now.
Me: You will be strong man

.
One year later
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
Is being a year and some months since I got back to
Katlego. I also moved in because the thing of going up
and down like a teenage is boring me. Things are back to
normal, incase our love is even more than before. I found
a piece job to at least have some more money to provide
for both me and Katlego. With the little I get plus the
bursary money am able to buy food and clothes for me
and my hubby. Katlego doesn't want to get a job because
his pride doesn't allow him to go from an CEO to a
cashier or something worse than that. Am not
complaining though, I like it cuz is like am returning
back the favour. It was 6 in the morning when I arrived
at the bakery that am working at, I left with the keys
yesterday so I had to come early to open. Like always
there was street kids sleeping in front of the bakery, I
don't like waking them but there was someone sleeping
just on the door way.
.
Me: Excuse me

90
* I said shaking her a little. It was a woman by the look of
her hair, is like she is new to this. Her hair and clothes
where still clean. I continued waking her and she turned
and looked at me. What???
Me: What are you doing here?
Her: What are you doing here?
Me: You should be the one to answer me..
Her: Do I have to?
Me: It looks like you do. With the kind of state you are in.
Her: Is not how you think it is.. I was just resting.
Me: Resting the whole night with a bag.
Her: Don't look concerned. We both know you hate me.
Me: I don't have time for this, so move I want to open and
get to work.
** She moved and I opened and get in side the bakery.
That was Palesa my aunty's last daughter. I wonder what
is going on with her. Yes her mom treated me bad but I
never hate her and way will I hate her when she never
done anything against me? She was just enjoying to be a
spoiled brat. I changed to my uniform and started
making fat cakes with the ingredients we mixed
yesterday, I was the only one till 8. That's when Portia
and Kgothatso will knock in.i was taking in my last raw,
when someone ringed the bell. We open at 9 so I don't
think will be a costumer. I wiped my hands and go to
open, only to find Palesa.
.
Me: What?
Her: Ok I think I will need your help.
** I just looked at her
Me: See Bongi my mom died early last year and uncle
Peter come to stay with us. He is so abusive, he beat us
up and he turned Shierly into his wife. I couldn't take it
anymore. That is way i stole the money and run away.

91
Me: So you left your sister there?
Her: I have no choice is like she enjoy what he is doing,
cuz I tried to tell her to come with me but she refused.
Me: What kind of a help you want from me?
Her: Stay with me.. Please let me crash in with you, I can
sleep everywhere. As long as I have a roof on top of my
head. I promise to get a job and move out.
Me: i will just have to go and talk to Katlego about that.
You can sit on that table when I finish off what I was
doing in here.
** I showed her a table and went back to work. I don't
think Katlego will agree on this. I will just have to
convince him.They are the family I have now I can't treat
her bad or let her sleep like this when I know this place
is no good especially to girls.

💮Katlego's POV💮
.
Am just turned to a house man, my life is boring. Am
tired of this life. I just have to swallow my pride and go to
my dad, maybe he will hear me out and give me a job at
the company. I went to the bathroom and take a bath
and wore a blue jeans and black t-shirt with black Nike
sneakers. I took my car keys and cellphone and went
downstairs. I got in the car and drove off. It took me 15
minutes to get to my parents house, I parked on the
drive way and got off to the front door. I was fighting with
my thoughts, to knock or just go back and finally I
knocked. And my mom's voice was the one to invite me
in. With my head bowed down I went and sit next to her,
my dad was sitting on the one seater sofa.
.
Me: Mom.. Dad I just came here to apologies for my
92
doings. I hope you have been watching the news that the
thief has been arrested, I tried to get the money back but
right now she doesn't even talk to me.
Mom: I was still wondering when will you come cuz
clearly it showed that you had no hand in stealing the
money.
Dad: But his mistress did.. how can you be so careless?
Mom: You can't be talking like that papa Katlego, when
you were the one who encouraged him to go on with that
girl. I told you she was not good but you said I want to
choose a girl for him.
Dad: You don't have to remind me that makatlego. He
was careless and will never be trusted again..
Me: I know dad but at least give me a job so I can be able
to provide for myself.
Dad: Job where? In my company? Never. I lost a lot and
am still paying the bank for the loan I took..
Mom: You have to Daddy.. you can't let my son suffer
like this.
Dad: Am not.. He will just have to find something for
himself or go back to school.
Mom: You must be joking.. All along you were the one
supporting him about not going to university but today
as old as he is you tell him to go back to school?
Dad: I didn't know he will ever be so damp.
Mom: Took it from who daddy.
Dad: You will never know Honey, maybe the man next
door.
Mom: But the man next door is a hard worker, a thinker
for that matter sweetheart..
.
** Ok that my parents for you. Throwing shades at each
other but still calm as fuck.
Me: Please dad even if is just an HR or something else

93
please.
Dad: I will just have to think about that mama's boy..
Mom: When he go wrong he is mine but when he do good
he is yours..
Me: How long will it take? I mean am struggling
financially now.
Dad: I don't know. It may even take forever.
Mom: It won't take longer than this week boy..
Dad: Women, there is people working there.. I will just
have to give someone notice to create a space for your
son.
Mom: Good.

💮Traizel's POV💮

💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
It was my time to knock off. Palesa was still here and she
did help me with cleaning and taking orders. Did I tell
you that Trai comes here everyday? Oh yes he does, this
is a bakery but also have a small coffee shop. So he come
here every morning to have his coffee. It doesn't bother
me to see him an in fact I worry when he doesn't show
up. I knocked out and we went out to find a cab. We did
get a cab and got to my house.
.
Palesa: Wow you stay here?
Me: Yes
Palesa: This is beautiful
** We walked in well she compliment everything she see.
My man was in the kitchen cooking. He was shirtless
with only short pants and flip flops. I went and kissed his
cheek.
.
Me: Honey we have a visitor.
Him: Oh i see
Me: Can we talk a little about that?
Him: Sure
Me: Ok am coming
** I directed Palesa to the sitting room and come back.
Me: See baby.. Palesa doesn't have any place to stay so I
was wondering if she could use one of the guest rooms?
Him: Your ok with that?

95
Me: Yes I just wanted to hear from you.
Him: Is ok.
Me: Thank you
** I kissed him on the forehead
Me: Ok let me go and show her the room and freshen up
for dinner.
** I showed Palesa her room and go to our room and take
a long shower. I changed to my night dress and gown.
Wore sleepers and headed downstairs. Palesa was
already down here wearing her summer PJ's, short and
vest. They are too short, not that am complaining!!!
Palesa is just a teenage, 17 years of age. We all went to
the dining table and dished for ourselves, and dig in. I
then after washed the dishes well they went to their
rooms. I finished up and also went upstairs. Am so tired
I wish Katlego doesn't touch me. I took off my gown and
got in the covers, he was facing the other way and I faced
the other. I always complain when he do that but today I
won't or else he will come to me.
.
.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
You know sometimes I wonder what kind of a person
Bongi is!!! Like she doesn't care or she trust me that
much? Am a man for God sake, I can't have someone
walking around my house half naked. And Bongi seemed
like she doesn't mind. God help me that I don't do any
stupid thing or else I will be left alone with no damn
income. I turned to her side and she was fast asleep, she
most be tired let me not bother her.

💮Palesa's POV💮

.
It was in the morning, I woke up and fixed my bed. This
house is so big compared to my village house. I went to
the bathroom and did my hygiene process and wore a
blue high wasted bumshort and long sleeved crop-top,
with my pump. I headed downstairs and Katlego was
watching TV.. Doesn't he work? I thought I will be alone
here.
.
Me: Hey Kat
Him: Hey
Me: What's for breakfast am starving
Him: You can go and prepare for both of us.
Me: Bongi?
Him: At work.
Me: Am you don't mind preparing?
Him: Geez I forgot that your just a spoiled brat, don't
even know how to fry eggs.
** He angrily stood up and went to the kitchen. Katlego
have always been my crush. I might not be the only one
though. I mean the guy is hot. A coloured, muscular and
and tall. And he is so handsome, most of the village girls
had crush on him and out of all he chose Bongi. Bongi is
beautiful but I still think she is not his type. I followed
him in the kitchen. Is not like I can't cook, I can. I had to
learn after my mom died. And am really a good cook.**
Me: What are you preparing?
Him: Just scrambled eggs with bread
Me: Simple
Him: We both know you can't cook so just appreciate
what you get.
Me: I can cook Mr just give me the platform to prepare
dinner tonight.
Him: Give you that. Anyway am done let's go eat.

97
** He dished in one plate, that means we will share. I
poured juice for both of as and follow him to the dining
room.
.
.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
Ok I won't say am not bothered by Palesa's dressing. She
is beautiful, caramel and cubby. And her bottle shaped
body, is just a bonus am telling you. I was so damn
trying to hold myself right now. We ate in silent and
continue to watch some movies.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
Today I knocked off early because I had a class. After
class I decided to go visit Lilian, since we don't see each
other more often. I just pray I find her alone. Did I tell
you that Alex stopped talking to me? Well he did. He
came to me and tell me how Katlego will hurt me again
and that he doesn't deserve me and that I have to move
on. Well I told him to back off and since from that day
there is no more bee this and bee that. I still don't
understand why he said that about his own friend!! Or is
it because he is doing so financial ok? You will never
know. "When days are dark, friends are few" I now
believe this saying. Alex is now playing too far from
Katlego. Hai anyway I arrived at Lily's house, I knocked
and boom Alex opened the door.
Him: Bae there is someone looking for you.. Am out see
you later.
** He said shouting to Lilian who sim to be upstairs. And
walked out. Ok. I got in and waited for Lily to come down
98
and she did.
.
Her: Hey friend
Me: Hey. So your Miss is serious about this silent
treatment hah?
Her: Stop calling my man that.
Me: But he is so guyish.
Her: Stop it Bongi ok.. Alex doesn't know what to talk to
you about anymore.
Me: Because I no longer have a life of my own?
Everything with me involves Katlego?hah?
Her: Not like that.. he know better than we both do. You
know man talk and for that he was just trying to protect
you from being hurt again Bongi. He cares, ok.
Me: But that was my decision to make.. he can't just
expect me to trust him with all those accusations he
made about Katlego.
Her: Hai Bongi you didn't come here for that right?
Me: Ya just came to check on you.
Her: Good so how are you?
Me: Am fine and you?
Her: Good.
** We talked for some time and it was already late when
she decided to drop me off.
Me: Are you not getting in?
Her: Am no
Me: Come on just say hey to Katlego.
Her: Ok
** We got in and welcomed by a nice dinner cooking
smell. Katlego was in the Kitchen sitting on the kitchen
counter, well Palesa was moving around. Looks like she
is the one who is doing the cooking.
Me: Oh i forgot to tell you that my young sister came
yesterday.

99
Lily: Oh!!
Me: Ya
** Lily went to say hey to Katlego and Palesa, but it
seems like she doesn't like Palesa. She said her goodbyes
and walked out.
Me: Mmm smells nice.. what are you preparing?
Palesa: Chicken Stew, cabbage and pap.
Me: Sounds nice.. let me go freshen up, I will be back in
few minutes. Honey don't want to join me?
Him: I would love to.
** He jumped off the Counter and followed me upstairs. I
took off my clothes and he also did, and we went in the
shower. He hugged me from the back and started
massaging my nipples.
Me: Not now baby
Him: Please...
** I just let him do whatever he want and he continued
massaging my nipples well placing kisses all over my
neck. He turned me and smashed his lips on mine. He
then picked me up as I hug his waist with my legs, I was
already wet for him and he flipped into me. He moved
with fast pace and I came and he came after me. We
continued bathing, both changed into sweatpants and
vest. I had my sleepers and he had his flip flops and we
went downstairs for dinner. No lies the food tested good. I
was surprised that Palesa can cook cuz the last time I
checked, she only knew how to boil eggs.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
It has been a month since I sold the house and the cars
and now am a millionaire. When I woke up Bongi was
already gone to work and Palesa came in as usual. I
think I will no longer be able to let go of her, she give me

100
more of what i need in a woman. She can cook, doesn't
complain about my sex addictions or say she is tired
when I need her. We already had two good rounds.. I
picked her up to the bathroom..
.
Me: Come let's bath, I wanna take you out on shopping
today.
Her: Really?
Me: Yes baby..
Her: I can't wait plus there is this phone I want and the
Peruvian hair. Oh god I can't imagine how I will look.
Would you do that for me?
Me: Anything for my princess.
** She happily jumped up and down.. Yes I was expecting
that, she is only 17, soon to be 18. Am planning to buy
her something big on her birthday, not a car but
something expensive. We bathed and she went to her
room to change. I wore blue reaped jeans and a black t-
shirt with black Nike air Max.. I took my car keys and
cellphone and headed downstairs. Palesa was already
waiting for me, wearing a blue skin jeans, white crop-top
with white all-star. Good choice. I was not going to go
with her if she had something short, showing all my
ascents.. We went to the garage and drove to the mall of
Africa, far from Pretoria. There is no any chances that we
will be seen together.
.
.
💮Lilian's POV💮
.
I was with Alex at the mall of Africa, my man is so
romantic I tell you. Since he got this big deal at the
Matthews, he spoil me anytime he get. I dragged me out
of my thoughts, when he pulled me to the shoe shop.
101
Only ladies shoes.
.
Him: Don't you wanted to get a new wardrobe of this..
Me: Am no I have so many shoes, some of them are still
new.
Him: I knew you won't agree..
** He pouted well saying that. Lol
Me: Ok I will only have one pair that you will choose for
me..
Him: Good.
** We walked around with him looking so serious like he
is looking for something really good lol.
Him: How about this?
** He pointed to a red heel that I have but is black. So I
will take it to make my bae happy.
Me: Wow good choice.
Him: Like it?
Me: I love it.
** I kissed his chick.. we went to pay and the laughs that
seems familiar filled the shop. I turned and there they
are!!! Katlego and Palesa. Palesa was picking shoes well
sells lady take them aside for her. Katlego was hugging
Palesa from behind, playing all lovey dovey. This is what I
have suspected, I even told Bongi what I see and she
didn't seem to pay attention. I quickly took out my phone
and take a pic of them.
.
Alex: Baby!!!
Me: I have to..
Him: Are you going to let Bongi know?
Me: I will think about that... Now come on let's go before
they see us.
** We rushed out to to the next shop.
Him: I really hate to see how Bongi will be after finding

102
this out.
Me: Do you think I should tell her?
Him: No baby.. you can't do that. Let her find out on her
own.
Me: I hate to say I told her but yes I did.. I told her about
this snake she kept in her house and now Katlego is
spending the little he got with her well she is out working
to buy them food.
Him: Bongi is so kind and she doesn't deserve this. You
should hear how Traizel talk about her. The guy is
patiently waiting for her and it seems like he will finally
get her.
Me: I wish she listened to me when I said she should go
for Traizel not this bastard you call a friend.
Him: God!! Is this coming to me now?
Me: Your always with him and that doesn't set me well..
Him: I will never be like him baby. I had my playing
times and now I want a serious relationship.
Me: I trust you.
Him: I love you baby
Me: I love you Alex.
** We done shopping and he drove me home.. he had a
late meeting,so he left me alone here. I changed to Nike
tracksuits and Nike kicks and called Bongi that I will
pick her up from work. I drove to her work and she wa
already waiting for me outside." Sorry for keeping you
waiting"
.
Her: Is fine sweetheart.
** She got in and I drove off.
Me: How are you..
Her: Not complaining and you
Me: Am good
Her: I can see your even glowing.

103
Me: Oh ya.. Alex have been treating me good.
Her: I see. Am happy for you friend.
Me: You don't seem to take care of yourself this days. I
mean doing your hair, nails and all those girl stuff..
Her: Money is a problem, I always to save for groceries
and everything that is needed in the house.
Me: Doesn't Katlego help you with the money he got..
Her: Money?
Me: Yes the one he got from selling Nancy's father's
house and cars.
Her: When did that happen?
Me: Last month.. you!!! Oh God!!!
** I just realised I said some secrets. Why do Katlego do
this to her?
Me: Bongi don't stress about that and I suggest you don't
ask him..
Her: How do I keep that to myself when he is busy calling
me anytime he get for me to bring something home.. You
see this!! He called me to buy this just today..
** She showed me an ice cream container that she was
holding in a plastic bag. How could he? He went and
spent on Palesa but he want Bongi to spent the little she
get at the bakery..
Me: Ok now that you.. I suggest you don't ask anything
about money, but tell him you don't have money
whenever he ask you to buy something..
Her: I will try.
** I parked on the drive way and we walked inside. Palesa
was in the kitchen alone. She had a Peruvian hair, eye
lashes and manicure. Wow and the did buy themselves
an ice cream!!
Bongi: Hey Palesa
Her: Hello sisters.
Bongi: Wow your so beautiful

104
Her: Thank you..
Me: But where did you get the money?? Your not working
right?
Her: My boyfriend did all this.
Me: Oh he must be loaded.. I think I saw you guys at
mall of Africa..
** She looked at me with her eyes popped out.
Her: That is was not us.. we went to menlyn.
Me: Oh i see am getting blind.
Her: You must be.
** Bongi excused herself to go freshen up. And I was left
with Palesa. She continued cooking like I was not here. I
don't want to let her know that I know, I want Bongi to
get this on her own.
Katlego come along with Bongi. And the way he pretends,
is out of this world.
Him: Hey Lily
Me: Hey Katlego
Him: Where is your man? He is scarce this days.
Me: He is busy at work.
Him: Oh i see.
Bongi: Is dinner really Palesa?
Kat: You ask like your asking your maid Bongi..
Bongi: Tell me how to ask them...
Kat: You don't have to ask, just wait for her to tell if it is
ready.
Bongi: Ok
** Woah he is even defending his mistress.
Me: Hai guys I think I would just go.
Kat: Come on Palesa prepared plenty.. you really have to
taste her good cooking.
Me: Nah am fine. Bongi i will call you tomorrow..
Bongi: Ok..
** I could see that she is really trying so hard to to

105
remain positive.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I don't understand way Katlego is keeping secrets from
me? I can smell a rotten rat in this house. All of the
sudden Palesa have a boyfriend who can buy her
expensive her but not able to buy food for her. I helped
her sat the table and we took our seats and dished for
ourselves.
.
Me: Palesa I think is time you also look for a job so we
can be able to help each other with buying food.
Her: Am.. ok I will try
Kat: Don't you think she is still young to be working?
Me: Ok if you can't then tell your boyfriend to help you
since he is able to buy you expensive hair.
Kat: Are you jealous?
Me: Jealous? Oh ya I am.. am jealous because am busy
taking care of two people who stay in the house the
whole day. I can't even afford to do my hair, not even
straight back and she is here buying Peruvian hair.
Kat: So your complaining about buying food? This
rubbish
** He took my plate and throw it at the floor. I couldn't
help but cry, all along Palesa was quite like she is not
even here. I took my phone an went to my from. I never
thought I will ever cry again about Katlego but who was I
fooling? Am here crying again.

.
It has been two good weeks since I found out about
Katlego and Palesa's affair and I tried so hard for Bongi
to find but dololo. But I think I have to try something. I
called her and told her I will take her to work today so I
was now in my car driving to her place. She was already
out when I got there and looking more than a mass." Hey
sweety"
.
Her: Baby
Me: Are you ok?
** She got in and I drove off. She sighed out
Her: I don't know friend.. things are getting more and
more confusing, Katlego never told me about the money
and i sometimes find empty takeaways in the dustbin
but still am expected to buy food. Why is he doing this?
Me: I won't know cuz he does no longer spend some time
with Alex, he is always in the house. So that means he
order food for him and Palesa, when you are at work?
Her: I think so?
Me: What so special about Palesa? I mean why does it
look like he all of the sudden care more about her than
you?
Her: I just think he is trying to be nice..
Me: To her but not on you?
Her: I don't know Lily..
** I was already close to town so I let my plan out and I
just hope it works.
Me: God!! How did I forget?? You have white jacket right?
Her: Yah why?
Me: I have to go to the all white meeting with my former
colleagues..
Her: What time?
Me: 11!!

107
Her: Is half 6 now. You can go back after dropping me
and take it in my closet.
Me: You still have a hour, how about we both go back? I
promise I will drive fast when we come back so you don't
get late.
Her: Gosh Lily why did you forget though??
** I didn't answer and I quickly did a U-turn before she
change her mind. I just hope we get them right handed, I
know my friend will break down but I can't keep on
watching well she is been played..
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
Lily drove back to my place and we quickly jumped out of
the car, I never want to be late for work. We made our
way to the house, the front door was not locked as I left
it. I run upstairs to my room but a stopped along the
way. I suddenly started to shake. There was someone
moaning Katlego's name in my room. I slowly walked to
the door as I thought my ears are hearing things. I
almost jumped when Lily took hold of my arm like she is
supporting me not to collapse. She opened the door with
the other hand and the view almost got me blind. Palesa
was on top of Katlego naked, riding him. Oh my God!!
They didn't stop, and we where there watching. It looks
like they didn't even hear the door open. I watched as
Katlego come on top and do exactly what he does to me
but with lust and desire. Lily cleared her throat and
Katlego just turned and look at as. His eyes moved from
Lily to me, we locked eyes and a pool of tears started to
flow down my chicks. Guess what!!! He continued with
what he was doing, I some how got out of Lilian's grab
and run downstairs. How could he? He didn't even show
108
that he is regretting but he looked at me with announce
Like" how dare you disturb me?" I sat on the couch with
Lily.. we stayed quiet and Palesa come downstairs fully
dressed, she went to the kitchen. I didn't say anything
cuz I don't want to find myself fighting for Katlego again.
" Where is your closet?" That was Lily taking me out of
my thoughts. I told her and she left, so she still want to
take the jacket and live me like this? Cuz I won't go to
work, not when am this stressed. Katlego come
downstairs and sat down on the couch facing me.
.
Him: You were not supposed to see that.
Me: My bad..
Him: So??
Me: So what?
Him: What are you thinking?
Me: I think is best you tell me.. I found you in our room
with my cousin Katlego.
Him: Move out..
Me: What??
Him: Yes Bongi i think we should end this thing that I
don't understand what it is between us. You lately
complain about anything. You complain about buying
food, you don't want to clean or help with cooking, your
always tired to have sex and well you did all that she was
here to help with anything..
Me: Wow.. So your leaving me for her?
Him: I think so..
Me: Where do you expect me to go Katlego? Why are you
really doing this to me?
Him: To your friend or anywhere, I don't care.
Me: So it is how you end things with me, like this? Why
was I here for in the first place? To feed you until you get
back to your feet? Now that you have money am nothing?

109
Wow Katlego thank you.
** My tears just went dry, my heart was no longer in pain
in fact I felt like someone took something that was so
heavy out of me.
Me: Am glad you gave me a chance to do something for
you, I will no longer have a feeling that i have to pay
back.
Him: Good so go packing..
** I was about to go but Lily came dragging all my two big
suitcase..
Me: You took everything?
Lily: I think so..
Me: Katlego I think this is the last time you will see me
and am telling you, you come anywhere close to me, I will
get you arrested.
Him: Haha keep on wishing Bongi am done with you.
You can go continue with what you left on hold, gold
digging.
Me: Good. As for you Palesa, please don't dare come any
closer to me when he get back to work a find someone
who works not you. You don't even have matric, what a
shame. I will be waiting to meet you again on the streets.
Pale: in your dreams..
** I just looked at her and helped Lily with one suitcase.
We went out to her car and put the backs in the tank.
We got in and she drove off. We were all quite along the
way..
.
Lily: This is what I wanted you to see.. I tried to tell you
but you never payed attention to it.
Me: I never thought Katlego will see her as a wife.
Lily: I understand..
Me: How did you know..
Lily; Firstly is how she looked at Katlego and I saw them

110
last month at the mall of Africa.
Me: She said it was not her..
Lily: Here.. check my pictures you will find the picture of
them.
Me: Oh..
** I saw the picture and they looked so enjoying, not
minding who might see them.
Me: I see and I know you just don't want to say it but you
and Alex warned me. I regret not listening to you.
Lily: It was love, I understand but at least you had
nothing to loose.
Me: And I learned another second lesson.
Lily: I guess.
Me: Do you think Alex will ever talk to me?
Lily: He will be happy to hear that your finally out so I
guess he will.
Me: I hope so.
** We drove in silent and when we got to Lily's house, she
helped me with unpacking. We finished and she went to
her room and I throw myself to my old bad, I think I need
to sleep to clear my little mind. Am surprised am not
hurt!!! Does that mean am over him? I guess I am. I was
about to close my eyes when Lily pulled me with both my
legs.
.
Her: Not so fast baby, it is still early. Let's go shopping
plus we also need groceries..
Me: Good I also want to do my hair..
Her: Ok so go change.
Me: Am ok like this.
** I was wearing blue boyfriend jeans with maroon
bodysuits, I got up and put on my old school maroon
vans. Brushed my hair that was already in a tight bun,
who ever is going to do my hair will be strong shame. The

111
growth was too much lol. I put a nude lipstick and went
to wait for Lily. She came .
.
Her: You should get a jacket it looks like is cold outside..
Me: Sure.
** I twent and take my black sweater and went back
downstairs. We went to her car and she drove straight to
the mall.
.
Her: We can also go clubbing after shopping..
Me: Gold digging?
Her: Gosh, don't take his words to mind. You know you
aren't what he said.
Me: But that's were I met with Tony..
Her: Who is that?
Me: Traizel
Her: Nickname or another name?
Me: Nickname..
Her: Oh you guys were good together, don't get me wrong
am just stating out a fact..
Me: I know but I don't think I will ever find someone like
him, anyway am not even ready for a relationship.
Her: Still early I guess. When last did you see him?
Me: Yesterday
Her: Woah!! I thought you guys no longer talk
Me: We do but not that much, he always come to have
coffee at the bakery.
Her: An strategy to get to see you!!
Me: Nah I don't think so. Anyway I think I will take your
Offer of going to the club. I just want to forget a little
about myself..
He: Getting drunk?
Me: Yes. And you must take care of me this time. Make
sure I don't kiss strangers.

112
Her: Ok am in.
** We laughed and she parked at the parking lot. We first
went for groceries and cloth and then saloon. I want to
leave my life to the fullest, forget about Katlego. Am going
to mourn him today later.

"I promise I won't hurt you, please give me a chance to
love you"
"I think it is still early for me to be moving in another
relationship"
" I won't rash you please.. just be mine"
" You might not hurt me but I think I will.. I already have
so much expectations in a guy I want and.."
" I know but you can change me into what you want me
to become.. I will give you that chance to"
" I don't wish to do that but I won't lie I like you too.."
" Then let's give it a try"
" The thing is I think am still hurt and moving on in this
kind of a state I am, won't be good"
" I love you Bongi please give me a chance"
** We were now in the club, I didn't even get a chance to
get myself wasted.. I mean I didn't even get one drink cuz
the minute I walked in Traizel came to me. I really don't
know if I should accept him in my life!! Like is still early
and I really don't want to get myself in another Katlego.
.
Me: Am.. can I just go get I drink?
Him: I can go get that for you..
Me: Thank you.. need a strong one..
** He look at me for a minute
Him: Shots??
Me: That can also do..
** He walked to the bar with all the ladies eyes on him
113
and I felt so jealous. He came with a tray with 10 shots
and he took 5 to his side and the other to me.
.
.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
I looked at her as she take a last glass, she look stressed
that she is trying to forget what ever that might be
bothering her but I know is something to do with That
idiot. I finished my last sprit shot and act like it is
burning my throat, I couldn't drink well she is. I will stay
sober so that I be able to take her home... She tried to
stand but dropped back to the chair.
.
Me: You going somewhere?
Her: To the toilet.
** I looked around for Lilian but she was no were to be
found.. so I have no choice then..
Me: Ok let me help you with that..
** I thought she will complain but nothing. I took her
hand and guided her to the restroom. We got in and I
helped her unbutton her jeans and she took her jeans
down exposing her caramel thighs, not minding my
presence. And I made a promise to myself that once she
is mine she will never come to the club alone. She
unbuttoned her bodysuits roughly and started to laugh
and I couldn't help it but laugh with her.She acted so
funny. She started with her business as I look at her and
I won't lie, her thighs did bother me to the point were I
just started to imagine her on my bed. She finished up
and I dressed her up. We walked back to the club and
met with Lily..
.
Lily: Oh thank you.. I was so damn worried.
Me: She is ok..
Lily: I have to go now, my boyfriend is not doing fine.
Here is the key, please take her home and make sure she
114
get to bed before you leave please....
Me: No need to worry, you can go.
.
**I took Bongi out to my car and drive her home. We got
there and she showed me her room. I got her on bed and
took off her close, trying so hard not to get affected but
who am I fooling? I was just here trying to hold myself. I
left her with only panties and look for her PJ's but I
couldn't find them. A took an oversized t-shirt and help
her wear it, and put her under covers. I was about to go
but she opened her eyes..
.
Her: Don't leave me alone..
Me: You sure?
Her: Yes please..
Me: Ok
.
** I placed my phone, car keys and wallet on the bed
side. And took of my shoes, t-shirt and belt, and got
under covers with her. She turned to my side and placed
her head on my chest and I hugged her tiny waist and
dozed off.
.

💮Lilian's POV💮
.
I woke up in the morning and prepared breakfast for my
sick baby. My man have an painful teeth, maybe rotten
or something and Jo hai this one is afraid of sickness. He
was literally crying yesterday when I got here. I prepared
soft porridge and mixed it with powder pain blocks cuz
as sick as he is he don't want to take any medicine. I
went back to the bedroom and feed him. Lol I just talked
alone while he just look at me and nod in agreement or
shake his head in disagreement, I couldn't help but
laugh at him. We took a bath and I drove him to the
hospital even though he didn't want to.. Few minutes
115
after waiting for him outside, he came walking as a man
lol like he wasn't crying an hour ago..
.
Me: Bae looks so strong now..( laughing)
Him: Hai I almost died
Me: Almost died really??
Him: I was going through a hell... That was so painful
Me: Hai no
Him: And today, you will pay for yesterday
Me: For what now?
Him: You didn't want me to touch.
Me: Haha you wanted to die on top of me?? Gosh
Him: My pain wasn't blocking my feelings..
** So then he would have made love to me but couldn't
cook for himself,that he had to call me to came over!! Hai
man!! I drove as to my apartment to check on Bongi. I
parked on the drive way and we went inside.
.
Alex: You can check on Bongi well I prepare breakfast.
Me: Really? You did eat moes!!
Alex: And I still want to eat..
Me: Hai ok
.
** I jogged upstairs to Bongi's room but the site pleased
my eyes.. She was peacefully sleeping on Traizel's chest. I
slowly closed the door and jogged back downstairs.
Alex: And that smile?
*I didn't realise that I was smiling
Me: Am.. nothing.
Alex: is she ok
Me: Yes.. Does that mean you forgive her?
Alex: For what? She didn't do me any wrong, just that I
had nothing to talk to her about but now I think we are
fine.
Me: Good then.. You are not going anywhere right?
Alex: I don't think so.. unless if Mr Matthews will need
me in the office.
116
Me: I don't think so. And make more breakfast for 4..
Alex: 4?
Me: Yes a friend is coming over.
** I helped Alex prepare a full English breakfast and sat
up the table.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I try to lift up my head but God it was so heavy.. I
dropped it back to the pillow but what my head landed
on was not a pillow. I tried to remember what happened
and everything came running to my mind. This is the
only time I got drunk and remember everything the
second day. I opened my eyes and look up at Traizel
"mmh" he moaned and open his eyes."morning" he said
but i couldn't reply him.
I don't like talking before washing my mouth. I jumped
off bed and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth
and open a new brush for him. I went back to the room
and he was putting his sneakers on.
Me: You can go wash your mouth or even bath if you
want to..
Him: Nah I wil just was my mouth.. looks like you have
no hangover..
Me: Ja and am surprised..
Him: And you remember everything?
Me: Yes
Him: Even going in the toilet with me?
** He looked down like he is holding in a laugh
Me: I do.. looks like you enjoyed hah
Him: Ya if that how you will be when your drunk, I will
always want you to get drunk.
Me: Seriously?
Him: Am joking hau
Me: Hai you can go in the bathroom well I go prepare
something for us.
117
** I wore my bumshort, that shows a little from the
oversized t-shirt and the thought of Traizel seeing me
naked came in my mind. Let me just give it a try..
nothing to lose right? I went downstairs but Lily and Alex
were already here, preparing breakfast.
Me: Morning
Both: Morning
*And Alex also replied.. he is just a brother that I never
had. I didn't know he care this much.
Me: What's for breakfast?? Am starving.
Lily: Full English breakfast.. Were is our guest?
Me: Jeso.. So all this is for him?
Alex: Who?
Lily: Traizel
Alex: What??
Lily: Yes Mr Matthews himself is eating with as today..
Me: Gosh you make it should like we have a the

Alex: So you guys are a thing?
Me: Not really.
Lily: But eventually
Trai: Morning

Alex& lily: Morning Mr Matthews
Trai: Nah you guys can call me Traizel..
** Alex and Traizel started talking as I sat up the table
with Lily. We had breakfast and watch movies, playing
games till late and that when Traizel received a call and
he had to go. I really had a great time and I already made
up my mind about Traizel. I like him and I will learn to
love him💜💜

It was was now 10 in the morning, I putted my book

to the bathroom and take shower, I lottioned and wore
Blue jeans with peach t-shirt and peach Nike kicks, I let
my weave flow down to my shoulders and put on a peach
polo cap that Lily bought for me yesterday. I really don't

and this morning I received a massage from Mike saying

Her: Nah am done with Mike is just that marrying Alex
will just put him in danger.
Me: What do you mean?
Her: Mike is a gangster..
Me: This is too much. Talk to Alex then, tell him
everything.
Her: I don't know how am going to do that cuz Mike has
been calling and if Alex come over he will figure out that
he is here for me, and I can't go out cuz I know he is
somewhere out watching my every move.
** My phone buzzed and it was a massage from Traizel
saying he is out.
Me: Call Alex and talk over the phone then. I have to go

Her: Don't worry about me. Enjoy.
** She forced a smiled. I hugged her and walk out to
Traizel, I hugged him and baby kiss his forehead. He
opened the door for me and go to his side and drive off.
There was a black range rover parked across the street
and I know it may be Mike.. Gosh this won't end well.
.
"Do you know him?"
** I looked at him, figuring out what he meant.
Him: The person you were looking at in that range rover.
Me: Oh no.. Do you?
Him: Ya.. he is not an angel at all please just run when

Me: Oh!!

places that we can go to that side..
Me: Ohk

that I should wait for him in the waiting room as he go
check some things with the accountant..
Him: Are you sure??
Me: Ya I will be fine here plus I also wanna use the
restroom..
Him: Ohk..
** He walked to the elevator and got in, as soon as the
door closed I went to the receptionist to find direction to
the restroom.
Me: Hey
Her: Yah
** She said that with an attitude..
Me: Am.. can you please show me where can I find the
restroom??
Her: Is it lost? If so then call 911
** Jeso what kind of language is that?? I just looked at

Me: Yes I did.
Lebo: Am sorry please forgive me.. I can loose my Job for

Me: Looks like you didn't think about that when you said
that to me..
Lebo: Excuse my attitude please.
** The elevator opened and Tony walked out.. I took out
my phone and meet him half way. I looked at them and
they were shaking. I laughed as I walk out with Tony. We
went at the back of the building where there was another
building and a pool in front of it. We went in and it was
more like a casino, with lot of games in it.. we went for
bowling first as we played and took each other pictures
and some together.. I saw the other side of him, he was
funny, loving and caring. We had a lot in common and
like the same things. This is what they call soul mates
right? If yes then i found my soul mate.Am telling you we
will go a long way together. We played another games
and he won most of them. Come on am not exposed to
this life. It was already dark when we walk out.

123
Him: Can I see your phone..
Me: Yah
** I took my phone and give him without even looking on
what he wanted to do with it. And boom!!! He pushed me
into the pool and he laughed.. The water was not cold
but worm and I kind of enjoyed it.
Me: God Tony!!
Him: Sorry it was a mistake
Me: Mistake??
Him: Yeah.. Can I join you?
Me: No
** I swam to the steps and took of my clothes and shoes..
Thank God I had my matching bra and panties..
Him: Please
Me: No
** He took of his clothes and joined me anyway.. He came
to me and hugged me from behind and I felt some
butterflies all over my body. God what is he doing to me?
I turned and face him.. his eyes where now black, due to
the water I think. My eyes traveled to his soft lips.. I
shock my head as I think of testing those lips, no Bongi
come back to life.
Him: Can I?
** He touched my lips, and I nodded. He placed his soft
lip on mine and moved them slowly. I responded with the
same flow. I never felt this way before.. the kiss was
passionate and romantic. He pushed me so close to him
that I felt him getting hard. We kissed for some time and
broke the kiss as we gasped for air. " I love you" he said
that looking straight into my eyes and I didn't answer
him. I know I feel something for him but it is so
confusing, is it love or lust?

.
It has been a week since the Mike issue came to the
table, and I have been avoiding Alex lately. I was in my
house with Traizel and Bongi, and they forced me to call
Alex over so that I tell him everything. I called him and
he said he will be here within an hour. I was
uncomfortable pacing around the dining room, I know
the minute he show up here, Mike will burg in.
.
Trai: Relax Lily..
Me: You keep on saying that.. you really don't know what
kind of a person am getting Alex into.
Trai: You worry too much
Bongi: Hai baby kanti there is something we don't know
here?
Trai: No nothing really..
Me: God what taking him so long?? What if Mike blocked
his way!!
** My heart was pounding so fast.. If anything happens
to Alex I will forever blame myself. Someone knocked and
I run to the door and I found that it was Alex.. I hugged
him and we went to the dining room.
Alex: What's wrong?? You sounded like your taking your
last breath on the phone.
Me: Am.. baby sit down
** He did as he greeted Traizel and Bongi. His eyes came
back to me, looking all worried. He looked at me from
head to toe and his eyes landed on my hand and I
realised what he is looking for.
Alex: Oh!!! So what? you wanna tell me that you maid a
mistake? You can't merry me?
Me: No baby is..
Alex: Then if not why don't you have the ring on your
finger Lily?

125
Trai: Come on man give here time to explain..
Alex: Am all ears.
* He set back and look at me. God my poor man his eyes
were already teary. I explained everything to him about
how I met Mike and how we separated and now that he is
back. And I saw the change of his eyes.. there were green
and shiny.
Alex: Mike as the drug dealer?
Me: Yes..
Alex: Damnit
Me: I know baby i thought he was never gonna come
back.
** He looked at me for a while and placed his head in his
hands that was on his lap. I looked at Bongi and Traizel
whom for a minute I thought they were not here. We all
went quite and Alex never moved.. he stayed in that way
and someone knocked on the door and my heart started
pounding faster than before.
Me: What if is him.
Alex: Go open the door.
** He said that with a deep voice still in the same
position.. I looked at Bongi who looked more scared than
me and then at Traizel who just nodded for me to go on
and open. I slowly went to the door and open and yes it
was Mike.
.
Mike: What took you so long to open..
Me: Hello to you too Mike.
Mike: My sauces told me that your boyfriend is here..
Were the hell is he?
** He pushed me and went in to the dining room.
Mike: Well..well.well so this is kind of four some? Mr
Matthews my guy am not here to bother you mpintsi.. I
came for this bustard.

126
** He petted Alex on his back.
Mike: So man you have been chewing my girl ha and
your such a pussy yourself.. Man up and look at me.
** He took an okapi knife out of his pocket and I
screamed.
Trai: Man you really don't wanna do that..
Mike: Or what? You gonna come to rescue your friend
here? You might have connection but we all know that I
bit all of them.
** Traizel laughed and shake his head. He wasn't scared
at all. Mike started to play with his knife on Alex's back.
Me: Don't hurt him please..
Mike: Haha so your crying for boyfie? And you man am
loosing my patient here.
** He stood up and crab Alex with his neck and forcefully
dragged him up. Alex was trying so hard to keep calm
but he was fuming. He grabbed Mike's hand and push it
to the said and he turned and face him.. I was so scared
but what surprised me is that Traizel wasn't alarmed at
all. He should be the one making sure Mike doesn't hurt
Alex.
.
Mike: Hell no!!
**Mike said that pretty shaking. Alex shifted to the side
opening a way for Mike who just run out like he was
been chased. What did just happen?? I looked at Alex
who calmly sat back down like nothing happened..
Bongi: What did just happen?
Me: Did Mike just run after seeing your face? What are
you?
Bongi: Alex talk!!!
Alex: I have to go.
** He quickly walked out
.

127
**Narrated**
Mike run to his car that was parked a little far from Lily's
house. There was his friend Tom inside the car and he
started to panic when he see his friend running. He
quickly started the engine and as soon as Mike jumped
in he drove in a high speed.
Tom: What's up man
Mike: I messed up
Tom: How? You killed the guy?
Mike: Ish I messed up big time.. Am died man..
Tom: Stop talking the same thing what really happened
man?
Mike: You don't wanna know.
Tom: I wouldn't be asking..
Mike: We are all dead Tom.. I messed up with a wrong
guy.. The top dog himself.
** Tom stopped the car roughly that they almost hit the
windscreen..
Tom: What? The top dog as Alexandro?
Mike: Yes man...
** Tom couldn't believe what his friend just said and he
was so scared that by the end of today he will be meeting
the end of his life. There is no hiding when it comes to
the top dog he knew that he will find them within an
hour, if they try to hide..
.
.
**Meanwhile
Alex drove his car as fast as he can. He stopped on the
middle of the way, punching the driving wheel. He have
been trying so hard for the past 6 years to not go back to
his old life. His father was a mafia boss, and when he
introduced Alex to the game, Alex become stronger to the
point where his father was even afraid of him. But Alex

128
dropped everything as soon as his father died. He never
wanted to go back there. He took out his phone and
made a call.
Him: Can I talk to Duro?
Duro: Woah relax man.. How are you my guy.
** He was surprised that after so many years Duro still
have his number.
Him: Do I sound like am ok? Tell your ass boy Mike to
play pretty away from anything close to me.. You do
really want to see me back.. do you?
Duro: Calm down bossa'yam..
Him: Don't tell me to calm.. do as I said or else we not
gonna like what will happen.
Duro: Making threats??
Him: Do you remember me as someone who make
threats? Surely you forgot.. You get your dogs away from
me or we will deal with it the other way.
** He disconnected..he was so angry, he didn't know how
he gonna explain this whole thing and he knew that
since they got his weakness they won't back off. He maid
a U-turn and go back to Lily's house.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
This whole thing was scaring the hell out of me. What
really happened? Is Alex some kind of an animal or
what? His eyes were not normal at all and I think that's
what scared Mike. We were still in the dining room with
Lily asking us thousand questions that non of us had
answers for. Alex got back in looking like the Alex I
know.. like nothing happened. Lily jumped and hug him.
.
Lily: Baby I was so worried don't you ever do that to me
129
again please..
Alex: Am sorry I had to fix somethings..
Lily: With Mike?
Alex: Yes..
Lily: God Alex are you also one of then? Are you a drug
dealer Alex? Do you also kill people?
Alex: Woah what with the thousand questions? Sit down
I will explain everything to you..
Me: Are you some kind of an animal?
Alex: Animal really Bee?
Me: Am.. yes like Jacob in twilight? Your eyes were not
normal at all.
Alex: No hai!!! I was just angry and to also answer your
questions baby, that what scared Mike. Not that am part
of them.
Trai: Alex you know were this whole thing can lead to so I
suggest you come clean.
Alex: Damn!!! I never wanted to go back to that life. Yes I
was a killer am a son of the motherfucken mafia boss.
Lily: That explain why Mike run after seeing your face...
Jeso!!
Trai: Not just a killer but the dangerous one.( He giggled)
Me: Really baby?
Trai: What?
Lily: Do I really have to attract psychopaths??
Alex: Am not a psycho baby. I stopped the whole
nonsense after my father's death. I never wanted to go
back there and now that this happened, they may come
for you cuz they finally got my weakness. They might try
to make me work for them by using you.
Lily: God then this is too much.. Am going to sleep and
from now on, you staying here with me.
Alex: What about your parents?
Lily: I will have to tell them what went down.

130
** She said that walking away. I have known Alex for 5
years now but not even once did Katlego mansion this
about his past. Maybe he doesn't know. We just stayed
for few minutes in silent and I also went to my room
leaving Traizel and Alex in the dining room.

💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I was looking on my reflection on the mirror. I couldn't
believe that I made it this far. I wish my mom was here to
wetness the day, or anyone of my family but no am just
alone. A single tear dropped and made a cute line on the
make up on my cheeks. I still can't believe that am finally
here. I was wearing a short royal blue dress, that shows
a little of my cleavage and had short sleeve. It wasn't that
short, it ends down my knees. I had black gown on top..
yes it is.. my graduation day. Lily, Alex and Tray was
waiting for me downstairs. That's the family I have now
and am so grateful. I walked down the stairs and they all
looked at me, more like starring.
Tray: Wow
Lily: Is that all you can say?
Alex: Babe am I allowed to take a second wife?
Tray: Don't try me man..
** They all laughed
Tray: Am jealous.. are you going out like that? Go change
bae.
Me: Your serious?
Tray: Like an heart attack..
Lily: Get a life hau. Come on friend we gonna be late.

131
Tray: Am joking.. Who will want his wife be looking like
something else in public? I will be crazy.
Me: Can we go now..
Alex: Yes beautiful
Tray: Lily teach your dog some manners.
Alex: Dog really?
Tray: The top dog.
Alex: Don't go there.
** We walked out and got in traizel's car as he drive to
Unisa. Alex never relaxed about the Mike issue, he think
they will come back for him and I won't argue. He knows
better cuz he have being there. Today is gonna be a
damn good day I guess,, cuz Tray says he is also taking
me out in the evening. He have a something special for
me.. his words not mine. The drive was crazy with my
three funny family.
.
.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
We were already at the university and the ceremony
started. Alex was busy taking my baby pictures as she
walk to the front to collect her degree. Am so proud, is
my first time been with someone who want to be
independent. No matter how much money I gave her, she
still wanted to get her own. I dated Ntombi She was so
comfortable with being a house wife. I searched for the
box in my jacket pocket just to make sure it is there.
Thinking about it make my heart beat so first. Yes today
is the day I want to change my life to the best, with the
woman of my dreams. Alex has been showing me how he
did it, their wedding is on hold due to Lily's parents been
out of the country.But hai it still stressing me up. What if
she reject it? What if she is not ready to commit? What if
132
she doesn't want to marry me?
"You think too much" that was Alex who was now
standing with Lily and Bongi.
.
Lily: Aow shame the boy is feeling so sad that her girl is
now going to work.
Me: That not true Lily.. I just have a lot in my mind.
Lily: Give your mind a break and have fun with us.. We
celebrating her success today, it most be all about her.
** Damn Lily.. why did she put it like that? The look
Bongi gave me, was not good at all she was disappointed.
I took her hand and lead her out of the building.
Bongi: Are you ok?
Me: Am fine.
Bongi: Stop lying..
Me: I will be fine baby don't worry and just know it has
nothing to do with you.
Bongi: Then what is it?
Me: Just some stuff at work.. Hey Lily is right let's
celebrate you today baby.
** I hugged her and kiss her. " Pose for a picture my
power couple" that was i Lily, coming with Alex. We
posed for few pictures and I also took them pictures. We
then drove to the restaurant for lunch and I will also
have special dinner with my baby, where I will have to
gather the courage to pop out the words.
.
.
💮Palesa's POV💮
.
Is been a year already and things are so smooth with my
bae. And guess what? Am 8 months pregnant and
Katlego is over the moon, he is so happy but the only
thing that worries me is he doesn't want to show me his
133
family. Even now, his father called him to come to his
house and he left me all alone here. I don't understand
why and he doesn't give me a good reason why he is
hiding me like am some side chick.. As for my sister, I
see her everyday on social media with some " The
billioner is finally settled" caption. I guess she is happy
and I thank her for giving me a good life. I was in the
dining room when Katlego finally open the door.
.
Me: Finally..
Him: What?
Me: I was so scared.. you know you should not live me
alone in this time of the month. Our baby may come
anytime soon.
Him: There is no such. The doctor's due date is next
month.
Me: And there is possibility that I can get my prince
anytime from now.
Him: Whatever.. Anyway I have good news.
Me: What?
Him: Guess..
Me: Am not good in that.. hint?
Him: No just try
Me: Am finally going to meet your parents?
Him: Did you have to go there?
Me: That's the only thing that can make me happy..
Him: Hah NC.. ok I got my job back. Am starting on
Monday.
Me: Oh wow..
Him: Not happy?
Me: The thing is am pregnant and you don't want me to
meet your family and that got me thinking that you are
not even going to marry me.
Him: What will I say to my parents? That I have been

134
sleeping with a teenage? I can't Palesa
Me: Oh wow. Is that so?
Him: Stop stressing my baby.. We will just have to get a
better way to deal with this.
** To say I was hurt is will be underestimating. Am
broken. His words broke me. So all along he was just
playing with me!! He never saw a future with me.. I left
him there starring at me and go to the bedroom.
.
.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
Out of the things that most disparate girl do, Palesa
chose to be pregnant!! I might say she got me there. I
might be a fuck boy or whatever people may call me but I
don't know how to run away from my responsibility.
Especially my blood, my baby, my first fruit, that I asked
Bongi to give me but her education was more important
than my needs.
Everything is falling back to place. I managed to sell 5
houses that Mr Ncgobo have, and shared some money
with Ntombi, aka Nancy. And today my dad decided to
give me my job back and this time I made a promise to
myself that no more dating at work or making close
Friends. I will try by all means to not get mugged again,
even if I have to turn cold at work, I will to protect my
legacy. I took out my phone and called Alex. Is been a
while since we seen each other. He answered on the
second ring
.
<Buddy>
<Hey man. You no longer check on me this days>
<You know way>
<Oh so you choose your boss over me?>
135
<Is not like that.. you just have to man up and face him.
Is not like you still want Bongi>
<Face him?>
<Ya I mean be able to be where he is cuz we hung out
together and I don't think he will have a problem having
you around>
<Hai forget it man.. I will see you when you are not busy.
So your with him now?>
<No he went to prepare some stuff for their special day..
he is going to propose man>
<What??>
< Yes man he is going to ask the question.>
**Why does it hurt?
<Oh ok good luck to him>
<Haha man.. Do you now regret?>
<Regret what?>
<Hai never mind. Anyway I have to go.. I will see you
tomorrow around lunch time>
.
** With that he disconnected. Did I hear him right? So
Traizel is going to propose Bongi? I don't know how this
whole thing feels like to me but the feeling is not good at
all.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
It was late at night, preparing for my dinner with Tray. I
changed to a long red mermaid dress with sliver heels. I
let my weave flow down to my shoulders, applied only red
lipstick. I most say I had an awesome day, even though
Tray was not himself. He looked worried or maybe
stressed and I don't know how this dinner will be like
when is only going to be the two of us. I checked the time
136
and it was going o'clock.. I walked downstairs.
.
Lily: There she is.. your driver is here baby.
Alex: Damn bee.. Your so gorgeous..
Lily: Hee bathong!!! Alex your still going to marry me
right?
Alex: Your jealous now baby?
Lily: You give too much compliment.. anyone can be
jealous.
Alex: And then you are?
Me: Haha let me love and leave you Mr and Mrs smith..
.
** I walked out and I was surprised that Traizel ask
someone to get me.The drive was comfortably silent. He
parked at the most popular and expensive restaurant in
town. The guy opened the door for me and lad me inside.
The restaurant was packed, but he lad me upstairs
looking more like a balcony. There was only one round
table, with my man standing there. He opened the chair
for me, and took the other chair.
Me: Wow is beautiful
Him: Not more than your shining eyes.
Me: Compliment?
Him: Yes mam.
Me: Thank you sir.
Him: Can we order? Am starving.
** I just nodded and he called the waiter and We ordered.
His early state was now more than before. He looked so
out of the place. Our food came and the way he was
eating, you would swear he is in competition. We ate in
silent, and the waiter came with the desert and
campaign. We ate in an uncomfortable silent.
Me: You sure your ok?
Him: Yah

137
Me: But your worse than before..
Him: Am... I will be fine not so long I guess.
** I just looked at him and continue and continue eating
my desert. I finished and the waiter came to collect the
dishes. " Is time" Traizel said to the waiter and he nodded
and went downstairs. Within some few minutes I heard
some weird noise outside, like people are fighting.
Tray: Go and check what is it.. I can see you want to
know.
** I just smiled and stood up. I went to the edge and look
down at the parking, but there was only the restaurant
stuff with some lights.. woah!!!! Oh my God it can't be. I
turned only to find Trai on his knees.
.
Him: Will you make me a happiest man in the world?
Will you marry me?
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I didn't know what to say.. Part of me is so exited but I
think is too early for this.. I looked at him as my tears
dropped. Am so grateful that someone is willing to spend
their life time with me, but is this a good choice? I wiped
my tears and kneeled down in front of him.. " baby I love
you"
Him: From the first time I saw you, I had this edge of
making you mine.. Since you gave me a chance to show
you the love I have for you, I never dreamed of something
else than to make you mine forever. I have so much
plans to complete with you. My life revolves around you. I
don't see any future without you, for the past months I
have been with you, I achieved a lot, not because I can
but because I have a true guider by my side. I will repeat
138
my question again..
** My tears were flowing like a river. His sweet words
melted my heart.
Him: Sibongile Khai will you marry me?
Me: It goes without a question.... Is a yes baby
** He took a long breath like he was not breathing all
along. He excitedly put the ring on my finger and help me
stand up with him.
Him: You will never regret taking this step with me.
Me: I love you.
Him: It calls for celebration..
Me: Maybe at home with Alex and Lily.
Him: Good
** He was so happy.. he scooped me up in his arms and
walk down the stairs. " She said yes" He shouted and
people started clapping hands and said some blessing
words as we walk out..
Me: Put me down
Him: Until we get to the car..
Me: I can walk!
Him: And I know that. Come on i want to do this
Me: Feel free Mr Tony Stark.. I sometimes forget you use
buttery
Him: Buttery baby??
Me: What ever it is..
** He let out a soft giggle.. His driver opened the door for
as and we got in. The long drive was funny with Tray
explaining to Willy, his driver about the proposal.
.
.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
I truly don't remember the last time I was this happy. Yo
I almost died.. I was not breathing since i asked the
139
question and deep down I told myselfthat if she say no,
am going to die just right there. I loved Bongi from the
first time I saw her. Since Ntombi left me I never thought
I will meet anyone I will get to love in such a way I do
now. The driver parked at her house and we went in...
.
Lily: My people..
Alex: How did it go?
Me: She said yes..
Lily: Wow am so happy.. let me see your ring
* Bongi showed Lily her ring as they happily hugged.
Alex: Tell me man how did it go? Phela I know is not
easy.
Lily: Speak for yourself, he Almost died.
Bongi: Tell me about it...
Lily: He was shacking, so scared like his life depends on
the answer..
** They laughed
Bongi: Baby were you breathing?
Me: I was not I swear I was going to die on you..
**They all laughed
Bongi: This explain why you were so miserable earlier..
Me: You have no idea how I was so scared.
Lily: So that means your wedding will be before us?
Me: Maybe but it also depends if my parents will agree to
come here this year.
Bongi: Or we can have a combined wedding..
Lily: That will be awesome.
Bongi: But baby do you think your family will love me?
Me: Yes.. why not?
Bongi: Different rice
Me: That's not a problem.
** I deep down thought about it.. I never introduce
anyone to my parents. They didn't know that I was

140
dating Ntombi and we never really talked about this kind
of things. And now am afraid they may have a problem,
but with or without their blessings, am marrying the
woman I love.
.
.
💮Katlego's POV💮
.
I was looking out the window, up in my office when my
eyes landed on this amazing lady. She was at walking out
of the chemist across the street. She went to a red range
rover, that was parked at the parking lot and drive off. I
swear there is no woman who have ever got my attention
like Bongi and this is the second one. It's strange cuz I
don't even know her and pity that I didn't get a chance to
talk to her. I got my job and I guess I will definitely be
good. Palesa is stressing me out, with the list of the
things I should buy for the baby. Is just that she she
buying some things she don't even understand all
because of some celebrates baby have it. I busy with my
thoughts when the lady's car got in again and this time
am not missing the chance of talking with her.. I quickly
took my phone and run to the elevator and pressed the
last floor. I got out and paced to the chemist.. Likely the
car was still there, which means she is inside. I got in
and she was on her way out, focusing on the medicine in
her hands. I turned and look on the other way, making
sure she bumps on me. And she did..
.
Her: Oh am so so sorry..
Me: Is ok.
Her: Thank you. You know I was focusing on
this(showing me the medicine)and I was not looking were
am going.
141
Me: I understand, I blocked your way. Oh am Katlego
and you?
** I said that giving her my hand
Her: Pretty..
Me: Oh such a pretty name for a pretty lady.
Her: I guess so if you don't mind am on my way out..
Me: Oh but I will be stupid to just let you go just like
this.. can I at least have your number? Maybe we can go
out on lunch, dinner if you like.
Her: Am flattered but am sorry am a kind of busy woman
Me: Weekends maybe? Please, I can be on my knees if
you want me to.
Her: Maybe that one will work.
Me: Oh really?!! Ok
* I went down on one knee and she started laughing
Her: Oh you really gonna do that?
Me: I just did..
Her: Your crazy..
Me: For you..
Her: Ohk am seriously on a rash her is my business
card, you can call me to make an appointment when am
not busy..
Me: Making it sounds like am one of your clients..
Anyway thank you, I promise you won't regret it.
** She smiled and walk away. I looked at her till she
disappeared to the the parking lot. She is so beautiful,
matured and my type unlike Palesa. Don't get me wrong,
I messed up i know but am not marrying a teenage!! I will
just have to make sure, she and the baby have
everything they need, I can even give her the house. I
went back to the office, smiling when I just thought
about her.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
142
I was in one of my hotels in Jo'burg, busy thinking about
what Bongi has said last night about my parents. They
have been pressure raising me about getting married and
the time is now and they will just have to deal with the
fact that I love Bongi, I want to be with her.. their
thoughts won't matter at all. I took out my phone and
call my dad. And he picked up on the first ring.
.
<Son..>
<Were you expecting some call?>
<No I was about to call you. How are you?>
<Am fine how about you?>
<Am good.. >
<What was the call about?>
<Nothing really just wanted to let you know that we will
be in SA next week>
<Good.. I also wanted to inform you about something but
since you guys are coming this side, we will talk then.>
<Ok.. finally getting married man..>
<Oh yes.. That's what you wanted>
<And we can't wait to be there.. You guys will also get
time to prepare your wedding>
<Yah about that, I was hoping to have two ceremony.
Here and there>
<Yes that won't be a problem at all. See son we will talk
when we are all there>
<Ok dad.. send my love to mom bye>
* He disconnected.. Am not surprised that out of all
things I can call for, he guessed marrying!!! He have been
telling me about getting myself someone who can give me
a heir. That's what important to them. Not my wife but
the children I will have with her.
.💜
💮Sibongile's POV💮
143
.
A week went by, after the proposal and so far everything
is good. I moved in with Traizel and we are busy planning
our wedding. I was looking on my reflection on the
mirror, so nervous like never before. " Relax baby" Trai
said well massaging my shoulders.
"What if they won't like me?" I asked him. We were on
our way to meet his family at the hotel, they come
yesterday and suggested to stay at the hotel. " They will
honey relax" he assured me but I can see he is also
nervous he was just trying to make me calm. " Ohk let's
go then" I said gaining my strength. We walked out to the
garage and he opened the car door for me and went in
his driving site and we drove off.
.
**Meanwhile**
" Is been a while without seeing him.. how does he look
now? Do you think he still love me? Is he.."
" Stop with your thousand questions. He has never
stopped loving you"
" I know I think am just nervous"
** They kept on talking well preparing for their family
gathering. Anisa was quite all along, she hated what her
parents are about to do to her brother but she had no
say and she deeply prayed that her brother reject Ariana
cuz she knows pretty well that she is no good to the
family and she tried convincing her parents to no luck.
Mr and Mrs Matthews were so excited to finally make
their wish come true. They all dressed up in different
rooms and go downstairs to meet up with their brother.
.
💮Traizel's POV💮
.
The drive to the hotel was so quite.. I didn't know what to
144
say to my nervous wife here cuz I was also nervous. As
old as I am, I have never introduced a girl to my family. I
know my sisters will love her but what about my
parents? We parked at the parking lot and I went to open
the door for her.. " Oh God help me"
" Praying? Really Mrs Matthews?"
" I think I will really need him in there.."
" Come on baby they will love you.. come here ( I pushed
her so close to me) I want to assure you that I love you
and baby your not going to be their Wife but my wife. So
if any of them doesn't like you, will have to deal with it
cuz I made a choice and am not in whatever they think
going to change my mind cuz is made up. I love you Mrs
Matthews no one.. I mean no one else can take me away
from you" she smiled and I baby kissed her cheek and
lad her in the hotel. My parents were seating there with
my old and young beautiful sisters and there was
someone else that was facing the other direction. We
walked to them and they quickly stood up as they saw us
approaching and to my observations, my mom and Anita
was not happy at all and they couldn't even hide it. And
what surprised me was Ana's presence. They didn't
mansion that she was also coming. We hugged and take
seats, I had to ask for another chair for Bongi cuz they
booked a table for 6 and I don't blame them cuz they
didn't know I was coming with Bongi.
Me: This is Bongi
** I introduced her as they all greeted her, but I still have
to make proper introduction.
Me: Wow Ana I didn't know you were also coming
Ana: Is a surprise..
Me: And it worked
**We laughed. Ana is my childhood friend, we used to be
together like siblings.

145
Me: I missed you guys.. look at you Nisa, all grown.
Nisa: You have no idea. You just can imagine how I
missed you.
Me: Oh damn was it that bad?
Nisa: So bad I have decided is time we just take it to the
zoo.. I just had enough
** We laughed. Anisa is my younger sister, so close to me
and she doesn't get along with Anita and mom very well
she thinks they are weird and I also think.. no I know
they are weird. They just have a way of doing things so
annoying.
Mom: So how have you been son?
Me: Good as you can see mother.
Dad: And I think she just asked to annoy you.. I mean is
all there, even a blind man can see that your also happy.
Mom: What is that supposed to mean?
Dad: That someone is about to ruin it..
Mom: Oh please..
** That's my family for you I just avoided what ever they
talking about and called a waiter to order.
Nisa: Wow your so beautiful Bongi..
Me: And you just realised that after so many minutes we
have been here?
Nisa: Cuz I was still looking at her..
Bongi: Thank you Anisa, your also so pretty.
Nita: So Bongi your his P.a?
Mom: Boy did you have to bring your personal assistant
to a family meeting?
Bongi: Am actually not his P.a
Nita: So what are you? Or let me say what do you do for
a living?
Bongi: Am an accountant..
Nita: Oh his accountant? I thought you are his p.a cuz
that what business man take with wherever they go.

146
** When it comes to this two annoying people I also don't
know how to handle them..Two waiters come with our
food and we all started eating.
Me: Well I have an announcement to make.. Mom, dad
since you have being bothering me about getting
married, i have decided to get married now and..
Mom: I knew you were ready and that's way we come
with her here we think you..
Me: Woah mom what are you talking about? Anyway let
me finish then you will talk after. I have decided is time
to get married and Bongi here is my fiancee.
** Ana started coughing nonstop as I show them all
Bongi's ring.
Nisa: Wow this is great wow congratulations guys and
your too good for each other.
Bongi: Thank you.
Dad: Son you know our culture, you must marry from
your religion..
Mom: This is nonsense.. Ana here, is your wife. We
already honoured her parents for you.
Me: What? Are you guys crazy?
Nita: You talk to mom like that?
Me: How do you prefer I talk to them like?I won't be
surprised if this was also your fucken decision.
Bongi: I think I should just go.
Me: No baby your not going anywhere without me.
Ana: So what we had was just nothing hah?
Me: We were just friends Ana.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I was just here listing to everyone shouting an insulting
each other. This was just a lot of drama for me. Everyone
147
was looking at us, like we crazy.
Me: Baby why can't you guys find a secret place to
discuss this cuz now you all just attracting people and
before we know it, There will be media all over here..
Nita: Your still here? Why did you come at the first
place? To see your in-laws? So guess what.. they don't
like you.
Nisa: Don't include me Anita..
**This is just too much drama for me, I really have to get
the hell out of here before I lose it.. I walked out so
quickly hoping for Trai to not notice but who was I
fooling? He was just after me..
.
Trai: Baby wait..
Me: For what really?
Trai: We need to talk this out.
**I ignored him and started to walk faster to the car. He
unlocked the doors before I can even get there. I got in
backseat .
Him: Really? You gonna seat there?
Me: Can you just please drive me home? And say no
word am not in the mood.
** He just gave me a "like really" look and drove off, he
never saw an angry side of me and I was not even angry
now but disappointed or maybe embarrassed I don't
know. We got home and I took off my heels and went
upstairs. I took a pillow and blanket and met him on the
door.
Me: Here make yourself comfortable anywhere in the the
house.
Him: Ohoh this is not happening.. come on Baby let's
talk about this.
Me: That's it Traizel I don't want to talk about it..
Him: Sounds weird..

148
Me: What?
Him: You just called me Traizel.
Me: Is your name right?
Him: And you never used it months back.. see baby let's
just talk this out.
Me: That's it.. I don't want to talk about any of what
happened today. Why didn't you tell your parents about
me?
Him: I was waiting for them to come this side so we can
talk.. I never knew they planned this whole nonsense
and..
Me: Just stop.. I don't want to talk about it go away.
Him: Please love let me sleep in here..
Me: No please just give me some space. How the hell do
you know Ana?
Him: Ana was..
Me: I don't need any explanation go Trai..
Him: But you asked me..
** I was just acting so crazy now, I closed the door and
lock it. I was truly hurt. The only person that likes me is
Anisa and the rest is just something else. It surely means
my prayers for better days fell on deaf ears.

💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
I woke up at around 10, and went to the bathroom, did
my hygiene process, lottioned and wore a bumshort and
white vest. I put on a head scarf on my massy hair and
walked downstairs. Traizel was not here, he most be gone
to work. I started cleaning up the house since I
suggested that we will let his maid come back to work as
soon as I start walking, which is next week. I was busy
dusting in the dining room when i heard a door bell and I

149
deeply prayed that it must not be Trai's family. I opened
the door, only to find Ariana. She was just a mass. She
look like she never slept yesterday.
.
Me: Oh how are you.
Her: Am good can I come in?
Me: Am.. yah but Traizel is not around.
Her: I know and am here to see you.
Me: Ok come in then..
** She got in and seated on the couch..
Me: Can I make you something to drink?
Her: No thank you am not staying. Where you just
cleaning?
Me: Oh yeah
Her: Too low for an accountant to be a house wife..
Me: Haha am actually starting to work on Monday so I
won't be staying in a dirty house.
Her: Oh i see. So I am just here for a little favour, I want
you to stay away from my Trai. We really don't want to
get in so much details just do what I said and we won't
have any problems.
** I just looked at here cuz she sounded so crazy. I was
about to tell her to fuck off when I noticed her left arm.
She was yellow so it was easy to notice the cuts she had
all over her arm cuz they were red. Was she cutting
herself? I kept quiet and just smiled.
Her: We clear?
Me: So pretty well..
Her: Good so I won't be here repeating myself.
** She took her handbag and walked out.. So am about
to deal with a psycho!!! I run upstairs, to my closet and
take out blue jeans and red t-shirt and changed. Wore
my Nike kicks and took my handbag and run out. Traizel
have to know before it get out of hand.. I watched so

150
many movies of psychopath and the things they do, is so
scary. I walked out and waited for a cub.. I think is high
time I get myself a car cuz Trai's cars, is a no no for me.
They are too fancy and attractive and I want something
simple. I got a cub and within 20 minutes, I was in the
building on my way to his office. I knocked and he
invited me in.
.
Him: What a surprise..
Me: Don't get used to it.
Him: At least I got a distraction. This papers was about
to make me crazy.
Me: I see. Baby we need to talk.
Him: And I thought we are over it.
Me: We never talked.. Did we?
Him: No but we just talked like there is nothing wrong.
Me: I was gonna be ok but I had a visitor earlier on.
Him: Mom?
Me: No.. your Ana.
Him: My goodness!! She didn't hurt you right? Did she
baby?
** He also looked so scared busy pinning me around
looking for injuries I guess.
Me: So you know she is a psycho..
Him: She is not a psycho baby she is a drag addict.
Me: Oh that explains the cuts on her arms.. Oh so I must
deal with a drag addict?
Him: Am sorry that you have to go through this but I
promise I will protect you from her.
Me: I don't need any protection Trai.. besides are you still
going to marry me without your parents blessings?
Him: Baby can we talk about this at home? I mean am at
work and I have to go to the meeting by ( checking his
time) Oh shit am late.. baby I will have to go see you at

151
home.
** He baby kissed me and run out to the boardroom I
think. Just when I thought my life is right on a track but
no!! It was just a road to hell. I called Lily, to let her
know that am coming. There is no other way am going
back to that house alone. Not that am scared of that
bitch, is just am not ready to be meeting his family.

💮Katlego's POV💮
.
There is no a single day that went by without missing
her, her cooking, her laugh, her smile everything about
her is just welcoming. Now i believe in the saying "you
never know what you have until is gone" she was my
world. A beautiful queen that every man can fight for. I
made a mistake that will never be fixed. There is no a day
that my mom wouldn't ask about the maid that she
asked me to help her with her studies, mom think she
was going to be a good wife for me and it hurt to think I
never introduced her to them, thinking that they may
have a problem with me marrying someone lower my
standards. I was here reading a news paper about their
proposal, with her in Traizel's arms. For the first time in
my life I felt a sharp pain like someone just countlessly
stepped me right on my heart.. it hurt to realise that I
really did a mistake that can't be undone, fixed or
forgiven. The picture of her crying telling me to stop came
into my mind... What was I doing? Was I crazy or what?
That was really madness that I will never forgive myself..
"What's wrong baby" That was Palesa bringing me back
to life. "Your crying!!! Is everything ok? Is your mom ok?
Talk to me" I didn't even realise that I was crying. I closed
my eyes and allowed the pain to sink in. Palesa took the
152
news paper in my hands..
.
.
💮Palesa's POV💮
.
I couldn't believe he is crying for her.
Me: This is madness!!! Your crying for her?
*"I pointed to the picture
Him: I love her you know that.
Me: Oh my goodness... Did he just tell his wife that he
love another girl?
Him: Don't be dramatic Palesa we both know that this
thing between us was just a force.. it was supposed to be
just sex and you chose to get pregnant..
Me: Oh is that so?? I thought you love me... You even
kicked her out for me..
Him: She got mad and moved out remember?
Me: if you love her why didn't you stop her from going?
Him: Is because I was so blinded by sex..
Me:You know what ?? Am not gonna have this kind of
conversation with you.. am pregnant for God sake. I don't
need any stress.
Him: But there is something we need to talk about.
Me: About Bongi?
Him: No.. I have a visitor today
Me: And?
Him: I want you to play low.. Your my maid or you can
think of something.
** God just take me already
Her: What?
Him: Yes my girlfriend is coming so I want you to act like
we don't fuck cuz..
Me: Woah!! We don't fuck? Really?
Him: That's what we do mose.. is not like we are married
153
and your just here because your having my baby, Palesa
you
* I cut him off I couldn't take more of this
Me: Am. don't say it. What time is she coming?
Him: Like 30min from now
Me: Am..I will go downstairs, get everything I will need
and lock myself in the room.
Him: I don't mean to hurt you..
**I was now crying.. What Was I thinking? Happy ever
after? This just went so wrong.. what if he get to love her
and move in here with us? Will I be able to play low as he
asked me to? I was so stupid to think we will be together
forever he surely found someone on his level..l went to
the kitchen, took everything that I will need. Food,
snacks and water. I will rather have to deal with this
than going back home to dig my own grave.
.
.
💮Sibongile's POV💮
.
The drive was too long to Lilian's house.. I got in and
found her watching TV.
Me: Hey baby
Her: Hey sweetheart.. I even thought your no longer
coming.
Me: Am from Trai's office that is way it took me so long to
get here.
Her: Ohk so what's up? Your sounded a bit of on the
phone..
Me: Oh yah. We have a problem.
** I told her everything that happened yesterday and
today.
Her: Woah.. And then? Traizel had nothing going with
this Ana lady?
154
Me: He says so and i believe him.. that girl is crazy.
Her: Ok so apart from her, his parents are not happy
about you two?
Me: Yes his mom want him to marry Ana and his dad
doesn't care who he marry, as long as they are same
religion or what so ever they call it.
Her: Haha friend this love thing is really not for us. I
think we are better off single cuz everything we touch,
turns hard.
Me: No is just some exercise baby we will go through
this. Wait!!! I thought you guys are ok..
Her: We were until Alex was asked to go kill someone or
they will kill me.
Me: What?
Her: Yes honey I really don't think we will make it
through this..
Me: So Alex agreed?
Her: On the phone yes but he said he won't do it. He just
have to find a way of getting them away from us.. this is
too much for me Bongi, I want my freedom back.
** She started crying
Me: Shiii is ok am sure Alex will do something about this.
** We hugged as she cry on my shoulders. This whole
thing is just a bad dream.. I don't think I will wake up
anytime soon.. is still a long way to go.
. 🌻Palesa's POV🌻
.
It has been a month already, with my baby boy. Life is
not easy at all, I have to obey and live by the roles of
Pretty. Apparently am just someone Katlego found
homeless, pregnant and offered to help. Pretty is not that
bad but to be here lying or seen them acting a happy
couple hurts. I have been playing low like I was
commanded to, or else I will be out on the streets
155
homeless and he will take the baby away from me. He
give me money, buy everything I want. When it comes to
Letlotlo, he can even sell his soul and that what disturb
Pretty. I wake up early in the morning before my boy
wake up... Oh am just like a maid here now. Waking up
early, prepare breakfast for them before they go to work,
clean after them, cook dinner and all those house chores.
I went downstairs, prepared breakfast and waited for
Katlego to come eat. He is always the first one to come
but today Pretty came first.
Her: Morning Pali
** I hate the way she treats me.. is like am just a child to
her
Me: Morning
Her: Sorry I should have told you yesterday, I won't eat
today I have an early appointment and am already late.
Me: Is ok
Her: Thank you
** She took an apple
Her: How is Letlotlo?
** She said that before opening the door
Me: He is doing well
Her: That good take care
** She walked out. Thanks that gives me a pretty good
time to talk to that Man. I fixed his breakfast and mine
and waited for him. He came, looking good as usual.
Him: Because she is not here doesn't mean you have to
share a table with me
Me: I want to talk
Him: My boy is fine right?
Me: Is not about him..
** He gave me that look " so I have nothing to talk about"
look
Me: See Katlego am tired.. I can't be here cleaning,

156
washing and cooking well taking care of your baby..
Him: wanna go?
Me: No get a maid.
Him: No
Me: Please Katlego am tired of this.
Him: That will make Pretty suspicious
Me: I also think is high time you tell her the truth. What
if she one day get the truth? She will feel betrayed and
you may loss her.
Him: Am also not gonna risk losing her.
Me: Ok that's your business by the way. But know that
am no longer waking up early anymore.
Him: Only if you have a place to stay..
Me: Watch me.. Am tired of all this nonsense.
** I walked out to my room. This can't go any far. I have
to find his parents first but then from today I will no
longer do anything than staying here eating and taking
care of my baby.
.
.
🌻Katlego's POV🌻
.
Is already 3 in the afternoon but what Palesa said in the
morning can't leave my mind. What if she is right? What
will Pretty say when I tell her about Letlotlo? I took out
my phone and called Alex, after so many months maybe
a year. He answered and he was not far from my office.
Within 30 minutes he was her waiting for me.
Me: My man
** I found him looking at the pictures I have of pretty on
my desk.
Him: Moving so first..
Me: How have you been
** I avoided that statement.
157
Him: Good
Me: Never gonna ask me?
Him: I can see your ok. Even gained weight.
Me: Ok. Anyway am not ok
Him: Because?
** It's me or this guy is changed? Like not the Alex I used
to go out with.
Me: Amm never mind
Him: Call me here and tell me to never mind?
Me: Am sorry for that.
Him: Mxm
Me: Oh???
Him: What?
Me: Nothing man an sorry I disturbed you I just missed
the old day
Him: ish... Sorry man I just that am stressed.
Me: About?
Him: Lily. She is totally not safe and I made a promise
that I will never go back to that life.
Me: How bad it is?
Him: The black is also part of it.. busy giving me some
dirty works to keep her safe or else they take her. The
problem is I know it won't stop if I go their way.
** Damn that totally means him going back to killing.
Alex is my childhood friend but I moved to home. When I
came back he was a different person, dangerous, killing
people every chance he got but after his father's death he
left all those bad things. But know by looking at him I
can see he is going back to the killing.
Him: What are you thinking?
Me: I never thought it will ever come to this but don't do
anything stupid man.
Him: I have no choice. Is either I kill them or go on killing
people every day for the rest of my life so i am done

158
thinking.
Me: Your going to kill them?
Him: Yes. And that start now.
** He took out his gun and some bullets and that got me
scared
Me: woah not in my office.
Him: Relax.
** He cleaned the gun and put some bullets in. We
continue talking but I was making sure I don't get to that
topic anymore. It was my first time seeing the crazy and
stupid Alex I knew for years change into a monster after
he received a call, and he just stormed out of the
building. This can't be good. I have to follow him or else,
he is going to do something bad without thinking.
.
.
**Meanwhile**
Lily was driving home from Bongi's house when four man
got to her and forcefully dragged her out of the car. They
locked her in the car tank and drive with the highest
speed.
Man1: One drive first make sure he doesn't get us in
anyhow..
Man2: We will all be died if he do.
Me3: Stop that we have to be at the farm before 7
Man1: Why did I agree to do this any way? This is too
risky.
Man3: Take the gravel road stupid
Man4: Stop shouting me
** They drove for about 1hour and 30 minutes and to
their success they got to the farm and took her from the
tank and drag her into the hall. It was so dark that she
couldn't see their faces but she knew Mike was one of
them. They tied her on the chair which she didn't even

159
try to protest but did as they wanted. The lights went on
and she shifted her eyes from one to another until they
met with someone she used to trust and love.
Her: so your part of this?
Him: I was ordered to. The boss will be here shortly
Her: What does he want from me? Why can't he stop
being a coward and fight Alex?
Him: Just stop talking or else you will walk out of here
paralysed.
Her: And you will all be died by then.
Him: So you knew that he is a killer but your still with
with him? And you dumped me for being a drag dealer!!
Her: He was changed but then you punched on the soft
spot and that will lead you all in here to death.
Him: Trying to scary us? Our boss will handle that
dragon of yours very well. We are now going to leave you
in here so feel comfortable coz this will be your home
until that bastard come around and know that he is a
killer and he was born for this.
** They all left her crying and screaming in the dark wall.
.
.
🌻Bongi's POV🌻
.
Is being a month without been disturbed by Trai's
family,but our wedding day has been proposed. He said
he need more time to convince his parents or else he are
going to get married with or without their blessings. I
also have no one but I wish they could just accept me
and we move on. I thought they will now be the family
that I never had. Hai not forgetting the 1million that was
deposited in my account with the reference " Lobola"
mxm this man is crazy. I was in the dining room cleaning
after Me and Lily left a great mess so am not that kind of
160
a madam you leave everything to the maid. Am used to
do things for myself, so she will clean when am not
around. Somebody knocked more like kicking.
"Jesus am coming"
I opened the door but close it again and he blocked it
with his shoe.
"Where did she go" am ok that was Alex. No he is
probably now "THE TOP DOG" as they used to call him.
He had a gun on his hands and that what got me scared.
Me: Am not gonna talk to you with that on your hands.
Him: Am talking to you. Where did she go.
Me: She went home.. Why with a gun?
Him: They must have took her.
*With that he run out. Oh my God it can't be happening.
So the killing will now begin? I called Traizel and he also
sounded strange. "Bastards gonna die like chicken" and
he disconnected. What the hell??? He also told me to
remain indoors.. ok my life is also not safe? Hai they
better do whatever it takes cuz I wanna be out of here by
tomorrow morning, I can't be staying in here the whole
day. But for now let me wait and see if they will bring her
back cuz what am sure of is that I need my friend back.
.
.
🌻Bongi's POV🌻
.
.
I woke up to the noise that covered the whole house. I
dozed off on the couch last night.. I opened my eyes and
looked at the people who almost look like died people but
one of them caught my eye... Katlego in my house? I seat
up on the couch facing the 3 of them. "Where is she?" I
said avoiding the Katlego issue.

161
Trai: We haven't found her but we will baby don't stress.
Me: Why are you back here when your not with her?
Alex: Please Bee we need to..
Me: Don't call me that.
** I had no problem with him calling me that but with
Katlego's reaction when he heard that name. Why is he
here?
Me: Am going upstairs and may I please don't find you
here;
** I walked upstairs with Traizel following me of course.
Him: Baby relax we will get her.
Me: So what are you? Also a killer?
Him: No am just trying to help a friend.
Me: And what is he doing here?
Him: Katlego?
Me: Who else?
Him: Not now baby. Just take a shower and relax we just
have to discuss this and find our way.
Me: Whatever.
** I left him standing there. Not that am angry but how
on earth would he bring my ex boyfriend in our house? I
will let it go for now but will definitely bring this up when
this whole thing is over or maybe he is just here to help
with finding Lily. I took of my clothes and got in the
shower, letting the water go down my body.
.
** I got out after an hour, fully dressed. I was about to
open the door when my phone started ringing. Looking
on the caller ID.. boom Palesa??? What went wrong? Oh
he probably didn't tell her his where about and she is
worried!! I answered and keep quiet
-i know am the last person you expected.. please hear me
out. I need your help.
-Like I thought.( She said)

162
-Please.. is not a big deal just something small.
-Shoot
- I need to visit Katlego's parents but I don't know where
they stay so I was hoping if you could give me the
address.
- why wouldn't he give you?
- Sisters please things are bad here. He have a girlfriend
that stays with us and he threaten me to take my baby
away from me.
-Baby?
** Why am I suppressed though? She thought she will
forever be his and fell pregnant on purpose.
- Yes 2 months now. So I want to see his family maybe
something will come out of it.
- Am sorry I can't help you.
- Please Bongi. Please sister
- Just find your way Palesa. I want nothing to do with
that family. And please team up with that new girlfriend
and leave me out of that nonsense.
** I disconnected. So Katlego have managed to turn
Palesa's life upside down within one year? Hai man neh...
.
.
🌻Lilian's POV🌻
.
The place was so dark that I couldn't even see my own
hand.. Even if you walk in with your pour white clothes I
would not see a thing. Is all because of love that got me
here... Is all because I chose to love and live with
someone that made me be here today. Am I cursed? Why
all the man I date turns out to be gangsters? I closed my
eyes and cried inside but I had no tears. It was painful.
Thinking about what they may do to me or days that am
going to spend in here hurts. Alex please find me. God
163
lead him. The door opened, causing me to close my eyes
again from the sun that suddenly light on the hole
house. I opened them again, trying to adjust. Looking on
both my sides, and I realised that am in something like a
gun shop cuz there were guns all over the walls. I was
busy scanning the place when someone came and stand
in front of me. I looked from the shoes to his face and I
already judged that he must be the boss. He was scary,
with shades, gold teeths and some scary scars on his
cheek. He was wearing a black suit, with a long coat.
"Untie her" he said and walk away after looking at me
like am some kind of a meat. The other guy come and
untie me and lad me to the other room were there was a
bad, pushed me in and locked the door. I screamed and
realised that it was just a waste of my energy. I was
hungry and thirsty but there was no one to tell so I went
to the bed and tried to sleep, praying that I don't spend
another night in here cuz I might go crazy or die of
hunger.
.
.
🌻Palesa's POV🌻
.
I know I hurt her but wouldn't she just forgive me cuz
she moved on and about to get married? I mean what are
we still fighting for? The man is no longer mine also so I
guess we would just have to start over again. I went to
his study room, hoping to get something about his family
but then this is useless.. he wouldn't have his parents
address kept in here. But I went in anyway. The photos
of them are here, even of Sibongile but Pretty, nix. What
is she? Also passing by? I ignored that and keep on
searching when I found a prof of payments. He paid like
half a million for Bongi's school fee!!!! And he still let her
164
go? Hai this was never meant to be seen cuz I found it at
the back of his picture. So there is more to this. I kept it
were I found it and walked out. Pretty was seating in the
dining room.
"Hey I even though your not around" she said standing
up. She should be preparing dinner for her husband,
instead of seating here and watching TV.
" Am here.. just that I have headache" I said, seating on
the couch next to here.
.
Her: Don't worry he won't come back today do for me, I
will eat anything and go to bed.
Me: He is working late?
Her: Something like that.
** Let me try her maybe she knows about his parents
Me: Can I ask you something?
Her: Sure
Me: You know his parents?
Her: Not really but we will go visit them this weekend.
Me: They stay around here?
Her: Yes. Outside town. In the beautiful mansion or I
might say palace.
** Good shot...
Me: Wow the one on the old Pretoria road?
Her: Yes that side.. I always wished to get in there one
day but guess what? I will be there this weekend.
Me: That must be a big step to take.
Her: It is. We are planning on getting married.
Me: Oh good for you. Have you been in his study room?
Her: Yah but he doesn't like it so I also hate to disturb
him when he is in there.
** That is why you didn't see that he have another
woman's Pictures on his dask. I left her there and went
to check on my baby. Tomorrow we are going to search

165
for his parents. I will tell them everything, just hope they
speak to him.
.
.
🌻Sibongile's POV🌻
.
It was already afternoon.. no sign of Lily and those man
whom were supposed to be somewhere out there looking
for her are here discussion what GOD knows cuz am not
allowed to get in but I went in anyway. They all looked at
me like am crazy or something. There was guns all-over
the desk and some scary knifes. I don't like the why
Katlego look at me.. I really don't.
" But I said we are busy in here baby" Trai said bringing
me back to life.
Me: And I still don't see Lily her which means whatever
your doing is useless. I think I should just call her
parents and the police.
Alex: Please don't we just have to deal with some few
things and I promise before midnight she will be here
with you.
Me: Lily is the only family I have
** What if I lose her? What if they don't find her alive? I
started shaking.. thinking about it makes me scared.
Scared of what i will be without her. Scared to start a
marriage life without her on my side. Scared that I will
have no one to talk to. Am so scared of losing her. I saw
Katlego standing up like he is coming to comfort me but
then he remembered the state we are in and I was ready
to give him a big slap. "Please baby we will get her I
promise" Trai said that hugging me but I turned before
he could hold me. " Then get the hell out of here and find
her" I was angry. Angry that Lily was not here. Angry
that Katlego is in my house and angry that Traizel is not
166
always with me since all this happened. We never had
sex for 3 days now and I miss him. I also need him to
comfort me but no he chose to let my ex come in our
home. They should just went to Alex's house or his house
but no they chose to annoy me.

167
