Turning Table

Part 73

***when the day sunk in hideous night***

Narrated

🌹Thabo🌹

He bite his lip thinking he knew how much of a hot head Mpume is and knowing that she is now kept captive in Oyama house it was a matter of time before she sold her to the highest bidder, trade sex for money, the girl was too naive to think that Oyama was his meal ticket fuck what happened to the church-going Nompumelo that he was once in love with?

He picked up his phone and dialed a number of the last person he thought he would ever talk too
" before you drop the call in my ear hear me out "
He said after the other person on the receiver said " what do you want? "
Thabo: Mpume is in trouble "
"_how is that any of my business?"
Thabo: Lubanzi please this is not about you and her but it's all about her being a mother of your children "
Lubanzi: uyangidakelw wena "
Thabo: she is fucking Oyama... And I heard that in two days he may auction her"
Lubanzi: what?"
Thabo: I tried to warn her about Oyama but she is stubborn as a mule, my eyes on the inside tell me that there is a Meeting with the Nigerian Gang tonight they are organizing something big, and you know these guys they specialize in drug and human trafficking, I'm just afraid that Mpume night be in one of those trucks, she too smart to knows too much and what's going on in that house"
Lubanzi: what the fuck!"

Thabo saw his bathroom door opening and Portia stepped out drying her long her,
Thabo: I have to go... "

He faked a smile as Portia locked eyes with him
" what's troubling you? " she said making her way towards him and
kissing his lip
Him: I need to go to Durban "
Portia frowned and set on his lap,
Portia: why?"
Him: a case I'm working on is getting out of hand I just need...."
Portia: Thabo last week you were in Nigeria and two days ago you were in Johannesburg babe I thought today will have time to..."
Thabo kissed her and rolled her to the bed, he unwrapped the towel and ran his hands on her small bump,
Thabo: I love you, and I promise that when I get back I will spend unconditional time with you two "
Portia smiled and ran her hand in his face, as Thabo kissed the baby bump thinking that he might as well make her his wife, it's been 12 months together and Portia has been the best thing that has happened in his life, his second chance to love, fatherhood and maybe being a good husband.

🌹Lubanzi 🌹

After Thabo dropped the call he called Langa
" did you know that Oyama is in town "
Langa: uuum... Baba said I must not evolve you "
Lubanzi: what the fuck!!...you out of all people decided to keep such a huge secret from me "
Langa: technically it was not a secret I told you that Sandile is fucking Rose, Oyama wife "
Lubanzi: oooh and I was supposed to read between the lines?"
Langa: you were once working for special forces dude, it's much easier for you to put two and two together, I don't get why  you biting my ear for "
Lubanzi: because the busted has Mpume!!  "
Langa dropped his mouth on the floor,

Lubanzi: the mother of my children is going to be auction as a sex worker in a few hours Langa!!"
Langa: ooh my God....i...i...."
He started stammering losing words, shock got him feeling like he  was having a panic attack
Lubanzi: what is our father up to Langa?"
Langa: I don't know... All I know is that Keven and Sandile want to take  Oyama out and they are using Rose as bait... I was told keep my wife and kids safe and stay out of it"

Lubanzi: knowing Kevin there are going to go there gun-blazing fuck Mpume life is in danger "
Lubanzi dropped the call and put on his jacket when he turned around he found Nelly looking at him
Lubanzi: babe...how long were you standing there "
Nelly: long enough "
Banzi swallowed and looked down
" I have to go "
Nelly: I'm not going to allow you to leave this house putting yourself in harm's way Lubanzi... We got children to raise remember "
Lubanzi: I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Mpume and I knew about it, ngizothini to our children?"
Nelly: Lubanzi No!"
She said with tears in her eyes
Lubanzi: she is the mother of my children Nelly and she is in trouble... "
Nelly: what do I tell our kids if you don't come back? "

He walked close to her and kissed her forehead
Lubanzi: ngiyabuya Themba Lami, I promise "
he hugged her and Nelly held him tight
Nelly: I have a bad feeling about this Lubanzi... God knows I can't lose you, just because of her...stay with me, please...I'm sure you can call someone to help"
Lubanzi held her cheeks and kissed her
Lubanzi: Themba lami I don't regret the amount of love I have given you. I don't even remember how much it is. All I know is that I have loved you to the fullest from the first day you walked in my life, with no limits, no doubt, and no fear...and when I get back I will still love you even more... Ngiyabuya ungasabi "

He let go of her and walked out but stopped by the door and smiled at her
" Sishwapha sami... Wipe those tears from your eyes uphekele indoda"

🌹Oyama🌹

Everything he touches is falling apart, every plan, every attempt to get back in the game is an utter failure,

Most business partners want nothing to do with him, he lost a lot of money trying to rebuild his empire but it's like building a sandcastle,

It's so strange how the table turned and Rosetta is having more power, more money than him, she is sleeping with the most powerful man in Durban and Oyama can't even get close to her, because of how influential Sandile is.
This whole shit is still puzzling Oyama, that the woman he married smacked around is now the most feared in the gang world, she turned out to be very smart for his liking, all of her money is not under her name and the worst part is it's an offshore account, how did the table turn?
He finds this whole thing confusing that Rossetta was scared of holding a gun while she was still married to him, now she is called general and is not afraid to kill to survive.

He smack his desk and looked at his safe and notice that she is running low on cash and doing a drug deal now will only make it easy for cops to bust him, human trafficking is a smart plan but customers on the South African border leaves no stone unturned when they are doing an airtight investigation that nothing will come in or out without there knowledge, worst part He is the most wanted man in Africa he can't allow things to be pinned back to him...

" Fuck.....!!"

He screamed! He looked at his table and took another sniff of the white powder into his nose,
He felt the white substance causing electrical waves in his brain
" boss partners from Legos have arrived "
One of his goons said, He swallowed and nodded,
Oyama: good, get the girls ready " he said taking another sniff off his powder and he finally made his way up to his bedroom to change

Mpume jumped when the door slammed behind him,
He looked at Mpume who is all dressed up for the dinner, the woman is beautiful but rage kicked in when he thinks about how she has been snooping around the house

Him: you went to see Ginger in her room this morning "
Mpume swallowed looking at his eyes that showed only darkness
" so tell me what did Ginger tell you ?"
Mpume: no...nothing"
Him: I know everything that happens in my house, and you when to her room for quite a long time, you left the room like you have seen the ghost, even now look at how you shaking... You know something that you shouldn't know and I want to know what? "
Mpume: I just... I went to her to help her...she was badly injured...uuuuh "

Oyama slapped her across her face and she fell on the floor
Mpume: I'm sorry..."
Oyama started kicking her and pulling her by her hair

Oyama: so you are a nurse now...? did I bring you in this house to care for the injured?!!!"
She raised her hand saying sorry but she knew that look, and what she saw happen to Ginger a few hours back is now happening to her

"What did she tell you!!! You bitch "
Mpume: Nothin... Uuuum mmmm...Yama you hurting me"  she cried in agony covering her face while Oyama slapped her and kicked her, her whole body was in pain, and crying begging him to stop did not help but only fueled him to beat her up even more...
Oyama: I took you in, gave you life but you think you too good for me, you want to know my business!! Do you know what I do to people like you "

Mpume cried out loud trying to crawl away from him, her dress ripped, her hair pulled, all messes up, her face bruises, split lip, blue eye, and bleeding nose, she dislocated her shoulder when he pushed her to the vanity table, broken ribs as his big boots meet her abdomen, the pain alone was unbearable,  Oyama pulled her by the hair and threw her in the shower
" you need to know your place in my  house you bitch wash and meet me downstairs "
He spits on her and left the room while Mpume cried uncontrollably loud on the floor
