Part 14

***A boomerang returns back to the person that throws it.***

There was no use in sleeping lot of shit was going sideways in my life, firstly I'm broke, ... Secondly, not one but two of my ex just flat rejected me, God knows I still got it, I'm Hot, and my body is too die for, yet man just doesn't seem to notice me anymore.

I'm pissed off because the last thing I need or scared of is to go back to the life I once lived, hustling for money to make a name for myself and living on a budget, God no!

I remember those days like it was yesterday especially when I hide the fact that I'm pregnant from my mother, Joy was a secret she was a mistake not that having her was, but the way she was conceived was definitely a mistake... If Banzi did not show up the time he did, I don't know how my life would have turned out with a baby, a demanding job, school, and the whole identity crisis.

To be honest, Lubanzi Dlamini molded me to be this woman I am today, not this bitch or hoe you might see me to be, but he gave me dignity and contentment, he was rich but down to earth to him money meant nothing without happiness, so I gave him happiness and he gave me excess to his money, that was just straight up Good life for a girl who grew up struggling on a tight budget.

So here I am doing my face struggling to find the right outfit, fixing my hair, after two hours of hard work on making me look perfect I finally took my bag and walked out,

" you late "
He said without even looking at me
Me: I'm sorry "
Him: what did you tell him?"
Me: Lubanzi"
I said desperately wanting him to look at me, to look into my eyes

Him: I don't have the whole day "
He continued to type on his phone, I breath out loud and called out for the waiter and order food for both of us,
He places his phone down and looked at me,

It is not about the physical appearance that made my heart skip a beat abnormally, but it what I missed the most, him looking at me and not saying a word  ... If I close my eyes and sit still, I can feel myself move back in time. I can still feel the ache in my belly. The hollowness in my chest.
I woke up in the home that we’d built together, sleeping on my side of the bed. Alone. he would have already left for work, but damn his scent still lingered in the bed. A scent I used to crave. I usually bury my face in his pillow and breathed it in, holding my breath as long as I could.

And now the very same scent I long for is engulfing my nostrils as we speak
Me: Sawbona"
Him: what did you say to him?"
Me: nothing Joyful is your daughter, Lu"
Him: I might be faced with a lawsuit, with all the money I have I can't win this case"
Me: there is something we can do "

I said looking at him, but his eyes change I notice his eyes were fixed to the entrance I turned my back and the skinny bitch was looking at us,
I decided to hold Lubanzi hand and smiled, lucky for me he did not pull it away
Me: Lu, I would do anything to make this right  ...anything" I meant it, I love him in fact he is the only man I would ever love, I did him wrong and the divorce happened because There was so much that was said by everyone else but so many things left unsaid between you and me. I know I'm the reason of picked him up and breaking him down into million pieces till he was nothing. I can still remember like it was yesterday when he cursed me for the affair.  Even went as far as raising his hands at me and roughly handled me to the point that I started bleeding in my already high-risk pregnancy.

Ooh, how I wish we could have stayed together and fought for our love... our relationship... our family.

He side smile lowering his head and looked at me, I have not seen that smile in year's, it just made me wish to confess my love for him

Him: anything you say?
I smiled and nodded still running my hands on his,
I was about to say he looks good but a male voice spoke over our head
" Sorry I'm late I got held up "
I looked up and I was meet by a colored man with the most intimidating face I have ever seen, he looked at me and pulled a seat,

Banzi: meet my ex-wife Mpume"
Him: it's good that she is an ex "
They bust out and laugh while I just looked at them,  I don't know what going on but this must be really good for Banzi to laugh like this, and I'm sure if it's good to him it's the worst news for me.

Me: what's going on? ...I'm sorry who are you? "
Guy: I'm your worst nightmare, ... You made the wrong women cry and you threatened to take the only Joy she values in this world, I should kill you but because my daughter is siblings with your kids, and my partners is your sister I don't want to have your blood on my conscious"

Me: "what?"
Guy: I hate repeating myself!"
I swallowed looking at him he meant business he is more scarry than Banzi, his deep husky voice, and foreign accent made me pee in my liner "
I look at Lubanzi his eating his food and not even paying attention to what's happening here, I keep asking myself who is this guy and what shit have I gotten myself into
Guy: I'm Nyembezi's father remember the child you left on the stoop? at your mother's house, ... I'm the man that's in Velile life make her cry you don't get to see another day or you bloody give us full custody of the child. ... So what is going to be?"

My heart stop my throat is dry and I'm shaking, this is the reason why that attorney said I'm fighting the wrong people, how could I have missed this, oooh fuck why am I so stupid!
Me: I d.i...dnt know "
Hiim: your attorney dropped the case so sign the bloody docs and fuck out of our lives "

I'm shaking I look at Banzi for help but he smirks it like in his head his screaming bitch you got served, karma is the worst bitch ever, I have tears in my eyes not for losing Nyembenzi but for knowing that I have nothing now. . . no backup plan or what's so ever. . . I can't ask this dude for money to trade my child with he already got me tongue tight this right here is defeat at its best.

I gave the guy the Documents he looks at Banzi
"Ooh before I forget, Mvelo told me to tell you that Mpume was only  17years when Thabo Fornicated her, it was consensual but let wait and see if his reputation will be enough for him to try and stand on trial for that,  him having sexual intercourse with a minner..."
Banzi: that all I wanted to hear... Pass that message to your ex Mpume, he comes after me and my kids I will hurry him"
Banzi said looking at me and  standing up

Me: Lubanzi I can't do this alone "
Him: you know how to cheat, blackmail and steal im sure making sure that Thabo aware of what's at stake, will be a walk in park for you "
I looked at him with tears in my eyes
Me: what about my kids...I'm still there mother"
Him: not in my books come any closer I will kill you, dot think I forgot that you allowed another man to cum inside of you while you were carrying my son!"

He squeezed my shoulder a little too tight making me scream inwardly, he whispered in my ear
Hi: THIS IS GOODBYE BITCH"
