Chapter 19

*** Kudakwashe ***

Am just watching her, she's sleeping so peaceful and she looks so cute. I know it was wrong of me to drug her so I can sleep with her but knowing Anele she wouldn't have agreed so I had to do what I had to do because it was either that or I get ready for a new wife which I don't want because I actually love this kid and I don't want another wife I want her. I wish she could see how much I really love her. I know I said I was going to wait for her to be ready but my parents were also putting pressure on me and I was running or of excuses to tell them. I know the moment she's going to wake up she's going to flip but what's done is done. I didn't give her anything harmful I actually got this pill from a doctor friend and it was a hormone pill it actually got her in the mood and made her a little tipsy and weak. Honestly I feel bad for doing that but I want her to carry my child.

I got out of bed kissed her on the forehead then ordered something to eat before I went and took a long shower thinking about what went down an hour ago, this is not how I pictured it🙆🏻‍♂she's going to hate me, just when she was warming up to me I went and ruined, she won't even remember her first time🤦‍♂🤦‍♂I really feel bad. I got out of the shower and put on my sweat pants and a vest, looked at her one more time before opening the door for room services. I went and knelt near the bed, ran my hands through her hair, down her jaw line this might be the last time I get to touch her soft skin. I stole a kiss before waking her up.

"Anele!" I brushed her cheeks with my finger
"Mmmmmh!"
"Wake up!" I whispered
"Am tired! I just want to sleep" she covered her head
"No! You have to wake up, you've been sleeping for 16 hours"
"16 hours!" She said
"Yeah wake up"
"Okay!" She said trying to sit up then she hissed a little
"How are you feeling?"
"You didn't" her eyes popped out then checked herself " No! No!"
"Baby look!"
"Don't baby me! How could you? Kuda I trusted you" she cried
"Am sorry!"
"I thought you said you love me! Why did you do it" she asked with tears running down her cheeks then she started throwing like punches at me and I held her hands.
"Am sorry Anele!"
"You drugged me didn't you? You could have asked me first" she yelled
"Come on Anele it's not like you'd have agreed"
"Still that doesn't give you the right to drug me, Kuda that was my first time. And to top it all I didn't even agree to all of this, this is the same as raping me" she cried
"Anele you haven't made things easy for me you won't let me even near you. Anele I love you and I know what I did is wrong but what choice did I have?"
"Get out" she yelled
"Baby!"
"Get out" she said wiping the tears off her cheeks
"Am not going anywhere because I love you and I know you hate me right now but I won't let you go through this alone" I said getting close to her
"Get away from me" she yelled and started throwing punches at me then it was pillows, the vase near the bed fell and there was glass everywhere.
"You're just like my father" she yelled throwing my phone at me and it hit the wall
"Anele calm down!" I said and she got off the bed forgetting there's glass and she stepped on it and screamed. I rushed to her and helped her sit on the bed, tried to pull the glass out but she'd scream in pain I guess it's deeper than I thought. I took the landline and called the ambulance, there was blood on them sheets, the floor. Anele wouldn't stop crying, I took of my shirt and wrapped it on her foot them held her tight telling her everything is going to be fine. The ambulance came and took her, I had to got with her because she wouldn't stop crying I can imagine what she'll do in labour🙌. The doctor got the glass out and they stitched her up and she was good to go. She was using a crutch of course. I went to the room where she was....

"Are you ok" I asked and she hit he with her crutch guys Anele abuses me😂
"Do I look ok to you"
"Sorry my love, I mean how are you feeling" I asked
"I feel like a 31 year old man slept with me"
"Okay let's get you to the car before you get me arrested" I said trying to help her up
"Do not touch me! I can walk on my own"
"Will stop being stubborn for a second and let me help" I said and she swinged her crutch at me I guess that her new weapon.
"Get away from me!" She said limping out of the room. We drove back to the hotel well am not about to start explaining why she's using a crutch. We got to the hotel and the room was now clean, I ordered food while she took a shower, she came back wearing a black dress then she sat on the couch and started eating, I joined her...

"Anele!"
"Can I please eat in peace Kudakwashe! Please" she said
"Yes ma'am" I smiled and she was very annoyed, her phone buzzed and she answered it then handed it to me it was Andile...

Me: Andile my man!
Him: Why isn't your phone reachable?
Me: Well my wife here threw it at the wall and it's dead now
Him: What did you do that made her throw your phone at the wall?
Me: It's complicated but we cool now
Him: Treat her right man or you'll lose her to another
Me: Am trying eyy but she's not making it easy for me
Him: Anyway I called to say I went to check on your wives like you requested and as usual they are fighting
Me:🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ Just let them kill each other
Him: 😂😂 come on is Anele messing your head to that extent that you don't care about your other wives
Me: This kid will be the death of me plus she's mad at me
Him: What did you do?
Me: Well talk when I come back from the looks she's giving me, she wants her phone back
Him: Ok bye!

I then gave Anele her phone back. She took her phone and went to bed. I went to bed to join her.

"Don't even think about it" she said as I was about to get in bed
"You're kidding right?"
"You're sleeping on the couch Mr" she said
"Am not sleeping on the couch".
"Fine!" she got out of bed took one pillow and the bed cover then limbed to the couch.
"Wait! I'll sleep on the couch" I said but she just tucked herself on the couch.

Three days went by and she was still giving me the silent treatment. I have tried everything but she won't forgive me.

*** Anele ***

A week went by and hoped I wasn't pregnant because I will die if I found out that am pregnant. Do you know that thing that happens when you think that you pregnant where you even see the signs and symptoms well that's me right now l even prayed that l'd never get with a man if I don't get pregnant, my foot had healed but I was still limping a little bit at least I was no longer using the crutch. Today Kuda and I are going to this party well one of his friends is having a party and as usual I didn't want to go but the almighty doesn't take no for an answer so I had to suck it up. I put on my peach knee length dress and Kuda put on his suit that matched with my dress, we went to the so called party honestly I don't even want to be there. One of the waiters walked up to us and offered us champagne.
"No no! You're not old enough to drink that" said Kuda
"Am starting to think you're the devil" I folded my arms
"I can't have you getting drunk ok"
"Fine then at least get me some water" I said
"It's by the table!"
"Aren't you even going to get it for me" I asked
"Anele don't start🤦‍♂please not Infront of people"
"So much for a gentleman" I said walking away

Kuda was busy with his friends and I was left alone since I only know one person at the party and that's Andile. This is why I hate going out with Kuda because I end up alone drinking water since am too young for champagne mxm 🙄I went to the ladies to powder my face while I was busy powdering myface I heard the door open then close then there was that clicking sound meaning the door is locked. I just ignored it well it the ladies bathroom after all. For some reason I looked over and saw Andile standing there🤷‍♀

"Andile! What are you doing in the ladies bathroom" I asked
"You look great!" he said walking towards me and I was moving backwards until my back reached the wall
"Thanks but why are you here?"
"Relax! I mean no harm" he whispered as he sniffed me
"You're making me uncomfortable"
"Just relax" he whispered
"How can I relax when this sniffing me and why are you here?"
"God you smell great" he exhaled heavily
"I think I should get going " I said using my hand to create a gap between us because he was really close.
"I like you Anele in fact I love you"
"Are you high" I asked
"I didn't drink anything I really love you, I loved you from the moment I laid my eyes on you"
"Am married" I said
"Just say you love me too and I'll handle the rest"
"But I don't love you" I answered
"Please don't say that. You're breaking my heart" he pressed me again the wall holding my hands above my head
"Let go of me!"
"My feelings for you are too strong" he said then he smashed his lips on mine, how is he so strong, he's holding both my hands with one hand but I can't even break loose. I bit his lip and he let go that's when I got the chance to rush out. What just happened? How do I tell Kuda that his friend made a move on me, they have been friends for a long time and I don't want to come between them.

What do I do?🙆

Chapter 20

I rushed out of the bathroom and walked straight to Kuda, I was literally shaking and why am I shaking I don't even like Andile. Kuda was busy talking to his friends and he didn't even notice I was next to him. I slightly tapped his arm and he turned to face me

"Hey! Is everything ok" he asked
"I want to go home" I whispered
"But we've only been here less than an hour"
"I know but I don't feel well I want to go" I said I just want to get out of here. I don't think I can face Andile after what went down.
"You smashed your lip stick" he said using his thumb to wipe on the bottom of my lip.
"Thanks!"
"Please stay a little longer I promise within an hour we'll be out of here" he said
"Am tired my feet are killing me" I lied
"I can drive her" said Andile
"No!" I answered
"Why? I thought you said you are not feeling well" asked Kuda
"Let's go!" Andile lightly pulled me.
"Take care of my wife" Kuda called out.
"Oh I will" Andile smiled at me
"Let go of me" I said
"Get in" he said as he opened the car door
"Am not going anywhere with you"
"Will you get it Anele" he yelled and it was drawing people's attention so I had to get in.
"What do you want from me?" He just kept a straight face and kept driving
"You should have reported him you know"
"I should report you for harassing me" I said
"I kissed you that doesn't count as harassment"
"You're just like your friend you don't respect women" I folded my arms
"So did you check if you're pregnant?"
"Don't talk to me and just drive" I clucked
"You look cute when angry"
"Do you know Kuda would kill you if he found out that you have feelings for me" I asked
"Well he doesn't have to find out"
"Excuse me!" I said
"Look Anele I didn't chose to love you after all the heart wants what it wants"
"Did you just pass the hotel" I asked
"Yes we going to get something to eat"
"But am not hungry plus I can eat at the hotel" I replied
"Well that means you'll be watching me eat"
"I just don't get you" I said
"Soon you will" he smiled

He drove to this pizza place well I might as well eat since I haven't had dinner. Andile is acting like nothing happened and to top it all he's not even denying that he has feelings for me. After that he drove me to the hotel and Kuda wasn't yet back so I went straight to bed.

After two days we went back home we found Chido sitting on the couch laughing with her phone.

"Anele!" She rushed to hug me
"Hey! I missed you" I hugged her back
"You know he's also our husband right? We also need him" she chuckled
"That's why I brought him back, am tired of seeing his face" I said and Kuda just looked at me and shook his hea
"Well am glad you both are back" said Chido
"Well I missed my bed at the hotel Kuda kept stealing the blanket" I said heading upstairs and I ran into Melissa who just rolled her eyes at me.
"Hie to you too" she said
"Hie Melissa! How have you been?"
"Lonely since you want our husband all to yourself" she said
"Well he's back now🤷‍♀"
"And am supposed to be happy you're the reason he doesn't have time for us anymore" she shouted
"Am sorry but it's not my fault that he comes to me"
"It is your fault maybe if you didn't wear all those tiny clothes seducing him he'd have time for us" she yelled
"Cut it out both of you" said Kuda
"No Kuda this has to stop am tired of you treating us like we don't exist" she yelled
"What is wrong with you Melissa first you were fighting with Chido now it's Anele" Kuda asked
"Well it seems that's the only way to get your attention"
"You should have just talked to me" said Kuda
"Like you have the time"
"Ok everybody let's sit and talk" said Kuda we all walked up to him and sat on the couch. He looked at me before talking....

"I know I haven't been spending time with you and am sorry but I needed time to think" he said
"Think about what" Chido asked
"About us! All of us" he sighed honestly I don't understand what he's talking about
"Ok we're listening" said Melissa
"First of all I want you all to know that I love you" he said then roughly scratched his head, this doesn't sound good at all I sense bad news coming. I don't understand why he kept looking at me the whole time.
" Just tell us already" said Chido
"Am in love with Anele" he said
"What😳"
"Really? That's why you made us sit here" Melissa rolled her eyes
"Am telling you all this because it's getting hard for me to play husband to you all when my heart is with Anele" he said
"Does this mean you don't want to be with us anymore" Chido asked
"Am saying I love you but am in love with Anele" he said
"That doesn't even make sense" I whispered and why does he even love me🤷‍♀ I haven't even given him any reason to.
"Well I'll make things easy I'll leave" said Chido
"Chido I didn't say I wanted you to go" said Kuda
"I know but I won't stay where am not loved and appreciated. I get it you love Anele and telling us that shows that you really love her and I'll give you space" she answered leaving the room and I followed her to her room
"Chido! Am sorry but please don't leave" I begged
"Look Anele I have nothing against you and I understand why Kuda loves you. You're pretty, you're strong and your brains is just a bonus. I wish you all the best" she said
"Am sorry!" I said
"Don't be! I know Kuda and I can tell he really loves you, now it's upto you wether you chose to open up your heart to him" she said
"You don't hate me?"
"How can I hate a cute thing like you" she squeezed my cheeks well I don't understand how she's cool about all this
"Why don't you ever get mad" I asked
"I do get mad but unlike you I think before I act" she chuckled
"Please don't go!"
"I have to Anele! Can't you see this God giving me another chance? Now I have the opportunity to go back to school, finish my diploma and who knows I might even get married again" she laughed with tears running down her face, I know deep down she's hurting
"Am going to miss you" I hugged her
"Stop! You're making me cry more"
"Promise me we'll keep in touch" I asked
"Yes and spend his money😃 he likes it when we do that"
"I don't know how you do it but I wish I was you" I hugged her once more
"Are you going to keep on crying or are you going to help me pack" said Chido

This is wife number 2 leaving because of me🤦‍♀ I bet Melissa now hates me more than she already did. Am just going to avoid running into her because I know she'll murder me and I don't even understand why Kuda loves me. I helped Chido pack even though I don't understand why she has to leave right away. I waved her goodbye then got into the house and found Melissa sitting on the couch.

"I don't know what you did to my husband but whatever it is it's going to fade soon" she said
"Look I know you don't like me but I didn't ask him to love me" I answered
"You probably did something to him because Kuda would never fall for a kid"
"Really Melissa? You think I'd stoop that low" I asked
" Just 4 months ago he hated your gut, he wanted nothing to do with you then out of the blue he loves you with his whole"
"Let me leave before I say something I might regret" I said walking away and she pulled me back.
"Am not done talking!"
"Let go of my hand" I said trying to break loose
"Melissa let go of her " Kuda commanded and she let go and looked at Kuda before she went to her room.
"Why did you do that? Now she hates me more than she did" I asked
"Because I love you!"
"Why? Why do you love me" I asked
"MaMoyo Madhewa mavula malanda, mageza ngochago..."
"Stop!" I tried to keep a straight face but couldn't, I giggled I can't believe he knows my clan names, he held my hands and looked at me directly in the eyes.
"I love you because I love you! I don't have a reason why I love you but you're everything I need in woman, you're strong, beautiful, stubborn of course and you're intelligent. You're everything I want in a woman and I know am older than you but this old madala loves you Anele Moyo!"
"Old Madala" I laughed
"Are you answered now?"
"I guess🤷‍♀" I answered
"You're beautiful!"
"Thanks but I still feel bad about Chido leaving because of me!" I said
"Chido didn't leave because of you, she told me a week ago that she's wants to leave"
"She she did" I asked
"Yes! Anymore questions?"
"None!" I answered
"Permission to hug you since you don't like being touched" he asked
"Just this once" I giggled as he wrapped his mascular arms around me, I was on my toes because he's tall and am tiny. I closed my eyes and inhaled his cologne wow an really someone's wife now.
"Are you hungry" he asked
"Yes!"
"Let's go make you something to eat" he said and the door opened and it was him mother and she had her don't mess with me face. Before I could greet her she interrupted me.
*"Anele come with me"* she said in a firm voice then headed upstairs and I looked at Kuda he just shrug his shoulders.
"Now!" She yelled and I hurried and followed her.

🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

Chapter 21

*** Anele ***

I followed mother in-law upstairs and she headed to m my room, I got in and closed the door. She was sitting on the bed keeping a straight face as usual.

"Afternoon Ma!" I said in a soft voice.
"Muroora ( Daughter in-law)" she said keeping a straight face, does this woman ever smile.
"How are you Ma!"
"Well we'll find out in a few minutes" she said and she dug into her bag and pulled out a small plastic then handed it to me.
"What's this" I asked
"Go in there and you'll find out" she said pointing at the bathroom using her eyes and I did as told. I went into the bathroom, said on the toilet while opening the plastic and there were 4 pregnancy test. Since I have never used one I read the manual and followed the instructions. I said a short prayer and crossed my fingers I just hope they come out nagative. The manual said 5 minutes and after 5 I checked, I jumped up and down because it was nagative. I then put on a sad face and walked out well since mother in law wants me pregnant might as well play along.
"Am sorry!" I said as I showed her the tests and she was disappointed.
"Anele why aren't you pregnant" she asked honestly I don't even know how to answer that well for starters am 16 and i don't want to be a mother yet. Well I didn't answer I just kept quiet. She called Kuda and he came in right away it's like he was standing by the door.
"Why isn't Anele pregnant" she asked in a firm voice
"It's complicated" he swallowed hard
"Anele I want a grandchild" she said
"Oky" I answered and Kuda gave me the look.
"Kudakwashe I said I want I grandchild you hear me" she said
"Yes mother I hear you" he said annoyed
"Good" she said leaving the room and she locked the door from outside.
" You're not getting out of there until Anele is pregnant" she called out.
"You gotta be kidding me!" I said to Kuda
"You heard the lady let's get on with it" Kuda laughed
"Over my dead body"
"Didn't you just agree" he asked
"I agreed because am scared of your mother"
"Come here" he said
"No!"
"We going to talk! Come here" he said sitting on the bed and I slowly walked to himwell I don't trust him.
"Am listening!"
"I don't want you to get pregnant! Yet!" He said
"But your mother said..."
"My mother is just being her crazy self don't mind her" he said and I chuckled.
"I love you Anele and I don't want to rush you plus you could get me arrested" he laughed
"You didn't think about that before you drugged me"
"Am sorry about that I wasn't thinking straight I had a lot of pressure coming from my parents" he said
"What will happen if you don't give them a male grandchild?"
"I don't know but if I give them one I get to be the crowned Prince" he answered
"I want you to be crowned Prince and I want to give you a child but am not ready"
"I know and am not asking you to" he said
"What about your family?"
"My family don't matter, I saw how mad you were that day at the hotel and I don't ever want to see you like that" he said
" Now I feel bad because it's all upto me now. It's upto me if I choose to carry your child"
"Let's let you turn 18 first then we'll start talking about kids ok because you're a kid as it is" he chuckled
"Thanks for understanding but again what are you going to tell your mother?"
"Let me handle my mother you just focus on your career, do you really want do be a model your whole life" he asked
"I want to be a Physiotherapist"
"You focus on that and let me handle my parents ok" he said, this is another side of him I've never seen.
"Thank you!"
"Yeah you turning me into a weakling" he shook his head
"😃I think it's sweet"
"So! Tell me about yourself Anele Tanaka Moyo" he held my hands making me face him.
"Am Anele just an ordinary girl from Chitungwiza"
"Why are you so afraid of falling in love" he asked
"Well am afraid of falling in love because l don't know what love is, I don't know what it feels like. I grew up around violence and pain. My mother used to get abused by my father and she'd stay with him because she loved him I told myself l'd avoid falling in love that way I don't end up like my mother being a victim of abuse"
"Am sorry but not all men are like your father do you know that" he said
"All men are the same"
"No Anele don't colour us all bad" he said
"Then why did you drug me so you can sleep with me"
"Am sorry" he looked down
"It's ok it's not like am going anywhere after all my mother doesn't even want me I guess am stuck with you"
"Do you want to be here" he asked
"Do I want to be married to a 31 year old no! But do I have the slightest feeling for you, yes!" I said and a smile peaked from his face
"You don't know how much that means to me"
"Don't get excited I might leave you for someone younger" I laughed
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Am hungry" I said
"Let's call mother to come open the door. Where's the spare key" he asked
"Why didn't I think about that🤦‍♀️"
"Because you we're thinking about babies" he said as I handed him the key.

*** Andile ***

Love sure does make some do the craziest things, here am I day dreaming about my friend's wife. I don't know why I love that kid so much. I have noticed she has been avoiding me since I confessed my feelings for her but the more she avoids me the more I want her. We have a Fashion launch today and with Anele as our top model I guess we'll be seeing her a lot today. I checked my wrist watch and it was 8:15pm as usual Anele and her husband are late, a car pulled up well I was waiting for them outside. The door opened and Anele stepped out and she looked like a Goddess, she was wearing a gold staples long dresses that showed her curves with her hair tied up and a touch of makeup. She got out and closed the door.

"Where's your husband" I asked
"He's not feeling well"
"I guess it's just me and you" I placed my hand on he waist leading her in.
"Again with touching me!"
"Behave the Media is here and you look stunning by the way" I whispered in her in ear
"I swear if you keep bothering me am telling Kuda"
"Tell him! I dare you" I smiled well I know she's just blabbing.
"So you'd risk 15 years friendship for somebody who doesn't even like you?!"
"You're worth the risk sweetheart" I said
"Ok let go of me so I can go get ready"
"You're not going out today you're my date" I answered
"Says who?"
"Says me am your boss remember" I said
"You're not my boss"
"I signed you up and as your boss am making you my date" I said
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Let's see🤔 because I love you" I said
"Am married to your friend for Christ's sake!"
"Legally you're not his wife plus you deserve a man that'll love you and treat you like a Goddess that you are" I winked at her and she tried to walk away but I pulled her back, Anele seems to be the 'playing hard to get type' I know a part of her wants me.
"If you don't let go of my hand I swear and screaming"
"Feel free!" I said and she shook her head in disbelief
"What do you want from me!"
"Just give me a chance to prove myself to you" I replied
"My loyalty lies with Kuda"
"Please! What do you know about loyality" I chuckled
"Well unlike you at least I respect him enough not to get with his best friend"
"Are you sure about that" I asked
"What do you mean?"
"Let's see what your husband thinks about this" I said and I pulled her towards me and kissed her.
"What the hell Andile!" She pushed me off her
"You taste like cherries" I locked my bottom lip while she rushed to the bathroom. 🙆🏻‍♂🙆🏻‍♂Am so in trouble but it's worth it.
I have always loved Anele ever since she opened that door for me I fell in love with her. I looked across the room and I saw Maria with her bump and she was with Jerald, she's pregnant and don't tell me she's carrying Jerald's child because Kuda will flip well he might get a heart attack if he finds out Anele and I kissed. And to make things worse we made the front page the following morning.

*One of the Prince's wives cheating on her husband with his best friend* and it was picture of me hugging Anele well at least it wasn't the one kissing her. But I loved the comments thought

*They look good together*

*We don't blame Andile she's gorgeous*

Yes some of them were nagative but what the hell the media says whatever they like.

Chapter 22

*** Andile ***

After talking to the queen of my heart I went and took a shower, after that I headed downstairs and found Melissa sitting on the couch well she's helping me out since we both want the same thing and that is separating Kuda and Anele.

"This is not your husband's house Melissa, you can't just show up whenever you like" I said
"Am sorry I just needed some air"
"Go play with your kid or something else! Go fix your hair and nails like other ladies you'll find air there" I said
"Why do you have to be so rude? What happened to we going to work together"
"We working together but the doesn't make me your friend. So what do you want" I asked
"Like I said I needed some air since everything revolves around Anele in our house worse Nicholine and her husband are there"
"Raymond is in town? I haven't seen him in ages. And how's Anele I hope your husband didn't lay a hand on her" I said
"Really? You can't even ask me how I am"
"That's your husband's job. Am asking about Anele" I said
"Well your little treasure has a bruised face"
"How dare he" I yelled
"Well she's his wife"
"Shut up! She's mine you hear me mine and your husband is going to pay for laying a hand on her" I clenched my teeth
"We talked about this Andile no one gets hurt, you get your Anele and I have my husband to myself"
"Well things changed when he decided to touch my woman" I said
"But Andile on a serious note so you'd ruin your friendship with Kuda over a woman"
"Well he started it when he took you from me" I replied
"You said you were ok with me being with him"
"Well he made you happy and that's all I ever wanted, to see you happy" I answered
"Do you still love me?"
"Weren't you listening all along? I love Anele" I said
"She's just a kid I don't get it, what does she have that makes everybody like her so much"
"She's unique" I answered
"Let me go back to my husband since Miss Universe went to her mother's" she said getting up
"Anele is not at her mother's"
"She left this morning" she said
"She came back, she was at the coffee shop with Ray"
"Great! Why does everyone have to like her so much🤦‍♀️ sometimes I just wish I can strangle her in her sleep" I said
"She loses a hair and you lose your life"
"Geez Andile am just joking! Why do I get a feeling Anele is turning you to a Phyco" she said heading out.

I sat on the couch and poured myself scotch going through my messages well I don't care about what the public thinks, it's funny Kuda hasn't even asked me about the kiss, I guess Anele is turning him into a weakling but hey I wouldn't blame him, she's also making me do the craziest things.

*** Anele ***

9 days went by and l've forgiven Kuda although he hates it when I bring it up everytime we fight and yes we fight like a lot, Kuda is just insecure.
We still with Raymond and his wife. Melissa is also there but she's hardly at home then there's Andile who just won't leave me alone, am scared to even tell Kuda about him because am scared Kuda might lash out like he did last time. Am still modeling for the company and we cleared the rumours thank God. Well Kuda has me with guards 24/7 and they suffocating me. I was coming from a photo shoot when my phone rang, I was in Kuda's office waiting for him. Sitting on his chair. It was my father.

Me: Am sending money Dad I didn't forget.
Him: That's not why am calling
Me: Well whatever it is I don't want to hear it
Him: Am still your father Anele
Me: The same father who chose his mistress over his family
Him: Anele I didn't chose her over you
Me: You left us! You knew we couldn't survive without you but you left anyway
Him: Your mother said she wanted nothing to do with me and I had to leave.
Me: Do you blame her? You abused her. You know what am sending the money bye!
Him: Anele please hear me out.
Me: You're saying this because you're sober we both know you always insult me accusing me of being responsible of you not following your dreams.

I hung up and wiped the tears on my face. Kuda entered the room...

"Why are you crying" he asked sitting on the table
"Nothing!"
"What did I say about hiding things from me" he said
"It's my dad and I don't want to talk about it"
"You shouldn't let him get to you" he said
"I know" I said as I stood up to hug him.
"I have a suprise for you"
"Is it food because I think that's the only thing that can cheer me up right now" I said
"Well it's better than that" he said as he took off his tie.
"You tell me you going to tie me up"
"I wish" he laughed "Am going to cover your eyes"
"Ok although I don't fully trust you"
"Ouch" he said
"Am kidding"
"It's not too tight right" he asked as he covered my eyes with it. " Let's go!"
"How am I supposed to walk with my eyes covered?"
"Am going to pick you up so don't panic" he said and as he lifted me up with my hands wrapped on his neck and I could feel him walking.
"Where are we going?"
"It's a suprise" he answered
"Ok where are we now?"
"We passing by the reception" he answered
"Are people watching us?"
"Yes!" he laughed
"No put me down"
"Don't even think about it" he said
"Are we there?"
"Patience woman" he said putting me down
"Okay then"
"I need you to watch your head and enter the car just follow my lead" he said
"Ouch" I bumped my head
"Sorry" he said the minutes later I heard the car start.
"Where are you taking me Mr Diale?"
"If I tell you it wouldn't be a suprise" he said.
"How long have we been driving?"
"5 minutes Anele" he laughed
"It feels like a year with a blind fold on"
"We almost there" he said then we got there and he helped me out of the car.
"There are stairs" he said and I was counting there's 5 steps.
"Are you ready" he asked
"Yeah take it off already" I said as he removed the blindfolded. I rubbed my eyes a little the looked around we in a room more like a dinning room and it's gorgeous, even nicer than his house. The furniture and the floors are just amazing.
"Wow this place is beautiful whose house is it" I asked touching the leather couch then I sat on it, it's very comfy
"It's yours!"
"Excuse me" I said
"It's yours Anele I bought it for you" he said
"No way! I was just joking back there I was just angry"
"Well I wanted to" he said
"Thank you" I hugged him
"You like it?"
"I love it" I screamed jumping up and down.
"Am glad you love it"
"Thank you! " I said trying hard not to cry but the tears just screamed off my eyes.
"I love you" he said wiping the tears off my cheeks
"You're the best husband ever" I smiled
"You bring up the best in me" he kissed my forehead
"Am definitely taking photos in every corner of this house"
"Knock yourself out well am going to order something to eat" he said as he perked my lips.
"Let me use your phone, I think I left mine in your office"
"Let me order pizza first" he said as he took it out of his pocket.
"Awe am your screen saver. Sweet" I pouted
"You're turning me into a teenager" he laughed
"That's a good thing right?
"Raymond says it is and I trust him" he laughed

💃💃💃💃Happy!

Chapter 23

*** Anele ***

We got to the club and it's not like in the movies, the music is too loud and it recks of alcohol and sweat. We got in and from the looks of it Raymond is well known because he was greetings literally everyone. We went and sat down someplace that was reserved I guess that's their VIP. We sat down, Raymond order drinks then a group of girls or should I say woman came and joined us, the drinks tasted awful but they make you keep wanting more. From the looks of it Raymond's plan was to get wasted because he was drowning himself in beer like he's trying to forget something.

"So are you here alone" said one lady with pink hair🙌
"If you alone we can keep you campany" said the other
"Sorry ladies but am with my wife" answered Raymond
"This is your wife" one of them asked
"She looks so young" said the other
"Well I like them young" Ray answered and I chuckled
"Is she even old enough to be here" they asked
"I think you've overstayed your welcome ladies" said Rey then one of the guards led them out.
"Having fun" Ray asked
"Sort of!" I answered
"Take this" he said handing me a drink
"What's that?"
"Something to get you in the mood" he said and I took it and it's stronger than what I was having. And he was right it got me in the mood. The last thing I remember was some guy fighting with his women then Ray tried to play hero that's when all hail broke loose. I don't remember anything from there.

I woke up in a nicely decorated room, I sat up my head is pounding and my stomach feels like it's inside out. I looked around but I don't recognize the room then I looked at my self, am wearing an oversized t shirt more like a man's t shirt. Don't tell me it's what I think it is🤦‍♀️. The door opened and Andile walked in with a tray of food in his hands. God no!

"Morning princess" he said
"What are you doing here" I asked
"I live here"
"How did I get here" I asked
"I drove you here after you went wild at the club"
"What do you mean" I asked
"Long story short Ray started a fight and I was there to rescue you so you're welcome"
"And why am I not wearing my clothes" I asked
"That's remind me you owe me a new shirt. You vomited on my favourite shirt and on yourself also I had take off your clothes"
"I want to go home" I said
"Eat then I'll get you an Uber"
"You didn't do anything to me didn't you" I asked
"If I did you'd remember" he kissed my forehead
"Thank you for the food and sorry for vomiting on you"
"Anything for the queen of my heart" he said
"Andile!"
"I will do whatever it takes to have you Anele" he said
"Am married Andile!"
"You know I love you and I'd do anything for you"he said
"Don't!"
"Just give me the chance Anele and I promise I'll give you the world" he said before leaving the room. Well I guess he's still the crazy Andile but I respect him for not taking advantage of me. I ate then took a shower, Andile gave me my clothes well then were clean now then he got me an Uber, I don't know whether to thank him or what but am grateful for him watching over me. I got home and found Kuda urguing with someone on the phone

Kuda: "What do you mean you don't know where she is...... You promised to take care of her..... I swear if anything happens to you I'll kill you......" He laughs a little
"Saves you right....... Let's just hope she's fine..... Let's think positive" then I clear my throat "Thank your spirits she's here..... Don't talk like that about my wife" then he hangs up and walks up to me.
"Hey! Are you ok" he asked
"Yeah am fine"
"Am sorry I wasn't there to protect you. Are you sure you're ok nothing happened to you right" he asked
"Am fine"
"Where did you sleep" he asked well I can't tell him I slept at Andile's he'll kill me.
"At a friend's"
"Am glad you ok" he hugged me
"Where's everybody?"
"Well Ray is at the hospital and Nicholine is with him" he answered
"Why? What happened?"
"Well I kind of lost it when he said he didn't know where you were" he said
"You hit him? He's your brother"
"I know and am sorry but he promised to take care of you" he said
"But am fine"
"I know and I'll apologize to him. Are you hungry" he asked
"No I already ate I just want to go to bed and shouldn't you be in Durban?"
"Long story short Melissa left" he replied
"Why?"
"Because I want to be with you" he answered
"No Kuda🤦‍♀️you have a kid together"
"I know but my heart is with you" he said
"Why do you love me so much?"
"Even I don't know" he sighed
"Kuda am I worth losing your daughter?"
"Am not losing her! I'll still be there for her" he said
"Am going to go restand process all this, my head hurts"I said.
Now am his only wife🤦‍♀️ 3 women left because of me. I hate how Kuda is making all these decisions because me being his only wife is like putting more pressure on me. I have to play wife, give him kids but I don't want that I want to go clubbing and have fun like children my age. I was woken up by my buzzing phone. I answered without checking caller ID....

Me: Hello!
Voice: I hope you're happy?
Me: What? ( I sat up and rubbed my eyes before checking caller ID and it was a private number)
Voice: Soon he's going to get tired of you and he's going to marry someone else.
Me: And I can't wait for that day!

Well am still sleepy and not about to start entertaining someone who wants to play games, I hung up and threw the phone on the headboard, it rang again and I ignored it but it kept ringing.

Me: Can I please sleep in peace?
Voice: 😂 hangover? ( It's Ray)
Me: I feel like my stomach threw up inside me
Him: Am sorry for letting you drink that much
Me: It's ok I actually had fun and am sorry for Kuda's behaviour
Him: Well I kind of deserved it
Me: No you didn't by the way is that offer of holding him while am beat him up still on?
Him: 😂well after what he did to me I think am now scared of him
Me: He didn't hurt you didn't her
Him: Am in the hospital duh
Me: Are you ok though
Him: Yeah just broken ribs by I'll live
Me: Am sorry
Him: It's ok just wanted to check if you're ok
Me: Am fine but can I go back to sleep?
Him: Ok see you later.

I then drifted to sleep. This time I was woken up by Kuda.

"Kuda leave me alone" I covered my head with the blanket
"That's enough sleep for one day, wake up or you going to get sick" he said
"Kuda leave me alone!"
"Wake up!" He pulled the blanket off me and I could feel him carrying me.
"Where are you talking me" I asked with my eyes still closed and he dropped me in water.
"It's burning daylight!Wake up" He laughed and I stood up on my feet he just dropped me in a tub full of water.
"Kudakwashe!" I yelled
"You have a shoot in 30 minutes"
"Am sick" I said.
"A hangover isn't being sick now get. You said you wanted to work right? Well get to work"
"Please can I skip this one please!" I said wrapping my arms around his neck wetting his clothes
"Don't try to sweet talk me out of this"
"Please Kuda!" I sulked "Please just this once"
"Fine but just this one and stop touching me you're making my clothes wet "
"Thank you!"

Then there was a knock and he went and opened it, I could hear them talking and the helper sad something about Maria being here🤷‍♀Why is Maria here?

Chapter 24

I took a bath then headed downstairs, I sat on the couch next to Kuda laying my head on his shoulder. Well my stomach still hurts and I have been vomiting the whole day.

"How are you feeling" he asked
"It's hurts! My stomach hurts.Why does it hurt so much" I asked
"Its because you were mixing different types of alchol but you'll be fine"
"Who was at the door" I asked well I know Maria was here but I want to hear it from him
"Not important" he said
"Oh ok" then I text came through his phone and he looked it and sighed heavily.
"What's wrong" I asked
"It's nothing"
"What's going on you seem distracted" I asked
"Nothing I can't handle but I have to get to S.A before the end of the week and you're going to be alone, can you handle that?"
"You're going to your parent's? Is there something you not telling me" I asked
"I'll explain everything when I come back but I just need you to promise me that you'll be fine"
"What about Nicholine and Raymond" I asked
"They are coming too"
"How come am staying? What's going on?" I asked
"It's complicated but I promise everything will make sense when I come back"
"First Maria comes here then now you want to go to South Africa what is going on Kuda" I asked
"I just need you to trust me"
"Don't tell your parents a forcing you to marry another wife" I asked
"Jesus Anele what is wrong with you?" He yelled
"Don't yell at me Kuda"
"Anele what do you want from, I try to be the perfect husband but in the end we end up fighting. How can you even think that, can't you see that I choose you. I chose you over my family, I chose you over my other wives isn't that proof that I love you" he asked
"I didn't ask you to choose me okay I didn't ask for anything"
"You're ungrateful Anele, ungrateful is what you are" he said
"I don't have time for this am not about to stand here and let you insult me" I took my keys and walked out. Honestly even I don't know why we are fighting. We fighting over nothing, I went to my house and slept there

The following morning I was woken up by the shower running, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, Kuda came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Morning!" I said
"Morning!"
"You slept here" I asked
"Well you'd know if you didn't sleep like a dead person"
"We l need my beauty sleep" I said
"Stop drooling" he said, I didn't even realize I was staring.
"You're my husband aren't you?"
"Just last night you walked out on me and now you want to talk" he asked
"Last night is last night"
"Well still mad at you" he said
"Are you sure about that" I asked as I got out of bed
"Do ever do that again! Don't ever walk out on me or disrespect me" he said
"Am sorry!"
"What are you doing" he asked as I unbuttoned my P.J shirt
"Am going to bath"
"Don't tempt me" he said
"Am I tempting you🙊?"
"Anele I will destroy you" he laughed
"Dream on!" I slammed the door in his face
"Not cool" he called out
"That's for yelling at me"

3 days later Kuda and his brother went to South Africa leaving me all by myself in that big house so I had to invite my mother well it was Kuda's idea but at least I won't be alone

"Your house is beautiful my child" said mum as she sat on the couch, she came this morning
"Thanks mum but I have to love you and leave. I have to go pay my car insurance"
"Haibo Anele you leaving me alone in this big house" she asked
"I won't take long mum, I promise plus the helpers are here"
"Ok mntanami but first I want to tell you something" she said
"Mum you'll tell me when I come back"
"It's important nana" she said and I sat down the age held my hands.
"What is is ma!?"
"Your father never left you Anele" she said
"Don't try to justify him mum, he left us for his mistress"
"No Anele I was the mistress" he said
"I don't follow"
"I was his secretary Anele" he said
"Then why would you lie to me mum, all those years I hated him for leaving me. So he left you and went back to his wife?"
"Yes! She answered
"Does this mean I have other half sister's?"
"No he was with me because his wife was barren" she said
"Mum why didn't you tell me all this?"
"Am sorry baby I just didn't want you to feel bad" he looked down
"And you think you know someone🙌"
"Am sorry but I thought you should know" she said
"So that's what he meant when he said am a home wrecker like you"
"Am sorry you had to go through that and I hope one day you'll forgive me" she said
"You're my mother of course I forgive you" I said as I hugged her. I can't believe I blamed my father for leaving me🤦‍♀️when mum knew the truth all along.

I went paid the insurance then passed by one of the restaurants, well Kuda left me in charge. My phone rang and it was Kuda.

Him: Hey wife!
Me: Hey husband!
Him: I miss you
Me: You left this morning.
Him: Feels like a year
Me:😊 Did you fly safe
Him: Yes we landed 30 minutes ago, it was the longest flight ever with Raymond and his wife fighting
Me: I can imagine😂
Him: So what are you doing?
Me: Am at the restaurant
Him: You mean you staffing yourself with cake
Me: In my defense they make the best cakes
Him: You're a model remember? You're not supposed to be eating that.
Me: Just this once
Him: And if you gain more like a gram I will fire you myself.
Me: Try me! I will burn down the studio
Him: We both know you crazy
Me: You like me crazy
Him: Yeah I fell in love with your craziness. Let me get going I'll call you later
Me: Ok send my regards to your parents

I then drove back home and found my mother with Andile🤦‍♀️What is he doing here.
"Why are you here" I asked
"Your friend is he, I told him to wait up for you" said mum
"Hey not my friend mum and Andile why are you here" I asked
"I'll leave you two" said mum
"Andile why are you here?"
"I missed you plus you owe me a shirt" he said
"I don't owe you anything now go before I call security on you"
"Your feistiness is kind of a turn on" he smiled
"What is wrong with you?"
"Am in love that's what's wrong with me" he answered
"Listen to me Andile and listen carefully, I may be young but I know what I want and that is not you. Am married and you should respect that. Worse am married to your. I suggest you leave or I swear your dead body will be in the news. You should be ashamed of yourself" I clucked then called security to kick him out
"Is everything ok" asked mum coming down the stairs
"No mum! You shouldn't just let strangers into the house"
"Dorry nana I thought he was a friend" she said
"Anyway did you eat?"
"Not yet" she answered
"How about we go out for lunch?"
"Ok my child and to think 7 months ago you were just an ordinary girl but now you're the Prince's wife and a model" she smiled
"So what would you like to have"
"Anything that you having" she answered
"Am having salad mum"
"Then am having pork ribs" she laughed
but if you think of it, if my mother didn't force me into this then I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't be a model. We went and had lunch although I was still full from that cake I had.

"Is he treating you right" mum asked
"We could say that" I answered
"Good because I don't want the same thing that happened to me and your father" she said
"Well at least am not his mistress"
"Anele!" She looked down, I know I shouldn't be hard on her but why did she feel the need to twist the story there's nothing wrong with being a single mother and I don't see why she was ashamed of it.
"Am sorry but on the bright side if you didn't have an affair with him then I wouldn't be here"
"I think we should get going, It looks like it's about to rain" she said
"Okay let's go" I picked up my bag
"Aren't you going to pay?"
"They won't let me since Kuda owns it"
"Oky let's go!"

Chapter 25

*** Kudakwashe ***

The tension in the room can be cut with a knife, my dad is sitting on his throne as usual with mother next to him and then the elders (my uncles and aunties) sitting on the couch. Maria is sitting on the couch opposite me with her baby in her arms, I can't believe she already has a baby yet I found out about her pregnancy 5 months ago. The reason why she was at my house the other day is because she claims the baby is mine but 5 months ago she said it wasn't so I don't know what's what and to top it all the baby is male🤦‍♂ I don't know why they even called me here because the last time I checked I was no longer their son and they cut me off the company, some of my credit cards were even blocked they wanted nothing to do with me. On the other hand mother was over the moon she's always wanted a male grandchild well they all did but I don't believe Maria, she could be lying for all we know. Maybe she just wants to ruin things for me and Anele whom I miss like crazy.

"Finally we have a heir, finally I can step down as chief knowing the legacy will live on" said Philip
"You did well son" Grace smiled
"So we should get on with the process of crowning Kudakwashe after all he is the rightful heir to the throne" said one of my uncles and everyone is all smiles but am not buying it, just two weeks ago these people wanted nothing to do with me. Thank God I had my fashion company and the restaurants otherwise I'd be in the streets as we speak.
"We don't even know wether the baby is mine or not" I said in a soft voice
"What are you saying Kuda? She's your wife of course it's your baby" Philip said
"Well why don't you ask her where she's been living the past 5 months because she hasn't been living with me" I said
"What are you saying Kuda" Grace asked
"Long story short Maria and I separated and am not even sure that baby is even mine and if the baby is mine then I'll take responsibility but Maria and I can never be together"
"Are you crazy? What will people say I'd they found out you can't even handle your wives" Philip yelled
"Wife Father! Because I only have one wife and that is Anele" I answered.
"Kuda what are you not telling us" one of my aunties asked
"Like I said I only have one wife now and I don't need to explain myself to anyone so can we wrap it up because I miss my wife"
"Kuda that's not how I raised you. Since when did you become this disrespectful" Grace asked
"You and dad made me like this you made me like this the day you disowned me"
"That's in the past son! Now that you have a heir let's focus on making you chief" said Philip
"I don't want to be chief, crown one of my brothers. I can't stay here in fact I won't stay here because am life is back in Zimbabwe with my wife"
"If that's what you want then fine" said Philip (father) and everyone gasped looking at him, I did not see that coming.
"You ok with it" I asked
"Yes and am proud of you son for standing out for yourself and what you believe in" he said, I don't know whether my ears are deceiving me or what. Who is this man or maybe he hasn't taken his pills yet because this doesn't sound like my father at all.
"Then who'll step in for you? Kuda has to be chief after you, it's by tradition" Grace (mother) asked
"Raymond can chief plus he has 2 male children" I suggested
"Fine then we crowning Raymond" said dad
"Philip are you listening to yourself" mum asked
"Let him live his life Grace after all it's just life. It's going to end soon" said father as he left the room. Everyone followed leaving me with Maria whom I want to murder right now. This woman has the nerve..

"Who's the father of the baby Maria" I asked in a firm voice
"You are" she said looking down
"Then why did you say it wasn't mine?"
"Because that's what I thought" she sniffed trying to hold back the tears that were clouding in her eyes
"Then what changed? What changed Maria?"
"When I gave birth to him that's when I realized he's yours because he has the same birthmark as your daughter" she answered
"That doesn't mean anything Maria"
"I had a DNA test done and he's yours Kuda. Please forgive me " she cried
"Why are you even crying? I should be the one angry Maria first you cheat on me then you sleep with another man while carrying my child. Then you have the nerve to come crying to me. How dare you Maria? You were my wife and you cheated on me" I yelled
"Am sorry please Kuda we can fix things, am still the same Maria you feel in love with?"
"We're not fixing anything Maria we are done, I will support my children but I want nothing to do with you" I said
"Kuda please! I was weak and am sorry I promise I'll be a good wife" she cried
"I already have a wife and will never forgive you for this Maria"
"Am sorry! Please do it for our son😭 please I want to come home and we can be a family once more" she said
"No Maria in fact am taking my kids, I don't want them growing up around you"
"Please Kuda don't take them away from me please they are all I have" she cried
"You should have thought about before you went sleeping around" I said leaving the room. I punched the wall leaving my hand bruised mxm she even has the nerve to beg me to take her back after she cheated and made me miss my child's birth, he's now a month old and she's only telling me now that he's mine. My phone buzzed and it was Anele...

Me: My other half
Her: Hey husband ( I could hear her giggling)
Me: How are you?
Her: You're angry! What's wrong?
Me: Am not angry ( I sighed heavily)
Her: You're my husband remember, I know when you're angry your voice becomes deep when you're angry
Me: Fine you win!
Her: Do you want to talk about it?
Me: Not really
Her: Only if you were here I was going to give you a massage, that always cheers you up
Me: Because you're going with your hands
Her: I miss you! Will you come back already.
Me: I miss you more, I promise I'll be home in 72 hours
Her: 3 days is a lot I want you to come back tomorrow. Mother is ruining my diet.
Me: Is that why you miss me😃
Her: Well you did threaten to fire me if I gained weight
Me: And you threatened to burn my company so am now scared of you
Her: I also miss fighting with you
Me: You always know how to brighten my day
Her: I also know how to ruin it
Me: True!😃
Her: So how are things going there
Me: Well...
Her: You'll explain when you get here?
Me: Yes!
Her: Ok then
Me: Take care of yourself for me
Her: Always
Me: Good girl
Her: Kuda!
Me: Yes!
Her: I love you!
Me: I love you more!

This is the first time she's told me she loves me. She sure knows how to make my day now that's a keeper.

It's been 2 weeks now and Kuda still isn't back from South Africa and I miss him. He doesn't want to tell me wants going on but whatever it is am sure he's handling it.

Me: Ok am on my way
Her: Ok!

I rushed to my mother's room to tell her that I'll be going out and I found her all dressed up and she's transformed I mean l've only been with her for 2 week but she's glowing. She actually looks happy!

"Looking good mum" I smiled
"Hey Anele! Do you think this dress suits me" she asked
"Yeah you look gorgeous. Going somewhere?"
"Yes I have a date" she answered
"A date😳"
"Why do you sound so shocked" she asked looking at herself in the mirror
"A date😂You're old mum"
"Am just 38 hawu" she answered to think of it she's just 7 years older than Kuda.
"That's still old and it's awkward coming from you but enjoy your date"
"I will" she smiled
"Anyway I have to get to the office, one of the drivers will drive you to wherever your date is"
"Ok mntanami ( my child) see you tomorrow" she said
"You not even coming back?"
"Anele I have a life" she said
"You mean you had a boyfriend all along?"
"Yes!" She answered
"And am only finding out now?"
"So you wanted me to tell you that I have a boyfriend" she asked
"Not really but I wanted you to tell me that you found me a new daddy"
"Yooh! You really have grown the Anele I know would have lost it. But mntanami you used to be bitter why?" she said
"Love has changed me mum I think that's what was lacking in my life"
"But I loved you with my all Anele" she said
"Am not saying you didn't but I think I was angry at dad for leaving me that I ended up taking it out on people"
"Did you forgive him" she asked
"I forgave all of you"
"I love you mntanami always know that" she hugged me
"I love you too mum!"
"Hayi Anele see now you making me ruin my make up" she chuckled
"You look great even without makeup"
"Of course where do you think you got your beauty from" she laughed
"Maybe from my dad"
"Let's agree to disagreeing" she said
"I just hate him mum but dad is one handsome man"
"Yeah he is" she smiled
"But nothing compared to my husband🙊"
"So have you slept with him" she asked
"Mum!"
"What? It's nothing to be ashamed of after all I never thought you about that stuff" she said
"Am not having this conversation with you"
"Come on Anele am your mother" she said
"Exactly! The fact that you my mother is the reason why I don't want to talk about it with you"
"Then how did you learn about that" she asked
"Mum! Let me get to work before this conversation becomes awkward"
"Ok see you!" She said as I closed the door then drove to the office. I wonder what's so important because Ria never calls me, she doesn't even like me.

My phone buzzed and it was Kuda.

Me: Hey husband!
Him: Why won't you let your driver and bodyguards do their jobs?
Me:🙄 because I can drive myself and I sure don't need no bodyguards.
Him: Where are you rushing to?
Me: Again with keeping tabs on me
Him: Am just making sure you're ok
Me: No you just checking if am not doing anything shady and I hate it
Him: No! That's not it
Me: Then what?
Him: It's for your safety
Me: Safety from what? What could harm me?
Him: Am sorry!
Me: I have something I need to take care of can I call you back.
Him: Ok can you...
Me: Bye Kuda see you when you come back.

Knowing Kuda he's about to start lecturing me like I don't have a brain of my own. I wonder what's stopping him from coming back because he said he'll be gone for a few days. I passed by the reception heading straight to the offices passing by Ria's desk who was gossiping as usual. Then I got to the office and found Andile sitting on the chair like he owns the place, well he does but that's not the point and he was with someone that looked like a lawyer judging with what he was wearing.

"Good morning Miss Anele" he smiled
"What are you doing here" I asked
"I own the place and why aren't you at work?" He asked🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ he's my boss by the way.
"I don't have any shoots today"
"Ok I was looking at your file and you underage sweetheart" he said
"Wow for real? I didn't know that🙄" I rolled my eyes
"Am serious Anele you're supposed to be at school and not working. You working for us could get us sued" he said and why is he mentioning this now, he knew I was underage when he hired me.
"Well am waiting for my O'level results" I answered
"Is it true you're married" the lawyer asked
"What does that have to do with all this? And who are you"
"My name is Takudzwa Nyoni am the company lawyer" he answered as he reached out for a handshake
"What does me being underage have to do with all this and why are you are you two discussing me?"
"According to the law you can only get marr
