CHAPTER 45 | KILLER.

KWAME.

#NotEdited

FEW DAYS EARLIER.

The last truck filled with money has just left. I look at the time and its 2:30 am. I didn’t think it will take us that long to pack all that money. I walk back inside the house and the two are still out of it but that one guy is awake and watching everything. The guys come out of the bedrooms and we form a circle. We have to decide what we are going to do with these three.
“ we must kill them. Simple as that.” Col says
“ No Col there’s no need to kill them. We want them to tell the others what happened  cause we want them to come after us. That is plan remember?” Msizi says.
“ I know it is. But they wont know who took their money cause we have hidden our faces" Vol argue.
“ They will know. The guys are watching Natasha's house. When we leave here I’m going there cause I want her to explain what were they doing with videos of Jabu. She will die if she doesn’t tell me what I need to know. These three we'll leave them just like that. Tell everyone to move out. We are done here. Let’s go.”
We leave the house and lock them in. We get in the cars and drive back to joburg. At 4am we are in the city. The trucks are on their way to the ware house and I think one of them has already arrived. The guys and I drive to Natasha's  house. We need to move quickly and fast because at 5 am the sun is going to be out. 
“ You still remember how to get in and out right?”
“ I do. Col I need you to come with me. Kudjoe make sure no one sees us outside  and Mci be ready for us.” They nod.
The car is parked a few houses down her house. Col and I step out and run as fast as we can to Natasha's  house. The gate slightly opens and we force our way inside. I move quickly and silently to where used to be Jabu's room. I pull the door and it opens. I push it just enough for us to get in. Col gore first and I follow. We both go to the bed to see who’s sleeping there and it’s two people. Thato and some chick. We walk away from them opening the bedroom  door that leads inside the house. I go straight no Natasha's bedroom and touch the lock.
I close my eyes and pray that her door isn’t one of those that make noise when you open them. I push it and the door makes a sound. Fuck!. I look at Col and the crazy fucker just pushes it all open and it makes a sound. I look at him like what the fuck man and he just shrugs his shoulders. We walk in and Natasha is sleeping.  We walk closer to the bed and we see that she’s only covered by a light duvet. She stirs  and Collen jumps into the bed on top of her and closes her mouth to keep her from screaming. 
She fights him and I run to the door and close it. I watch as these two roll around the bed and it's  actually funny cause Natasha really thinks that she can take Col but they have to stop cause we don’t have the whole day. Natasha is totally naked and Col doesn’t seem t have a problem with that cause as they fight he keeps hitting her ass, boobs and thighs telling her to behave cause she’s getting him horny. I chuckle.
“ Col stop. We need to leave right now.” I walk around and see a door that leads to the closet. I take a dress  and walk out with it. In throw it on the bed then pull out my gun. “ Put some clothes on Natasha.”
“ Tell this mother fucker to get off me!.”
“ Ask me nicely and I just might.” Col says.
“ Fuck you!”
“ Not if I fuck you first!”
“ Put some clothes on before I drag you out of here naked.” Col gets off of her and she kicks Col on the nuts and tries to run to the door but I’m faster than her. I grab her by her neck and hit her head on the door. If anyone comes in running here they'll catch bullets on their chests and head. She falls down. At least she’s not your typical woman who screams at any sight of danger.
I look at Col he’s busy rolling in the bed with his hands in his crotch.  Serves him right fore that foreplay they were doing.
“ you're lucky she didn’t pick up a gun and shoot your horny ass"
“ Fuck that bitch man.”
“ Get up and dress her.” He groans and gets up from the bed. He struggles with dressing her but finally manages. He picks her up and throws her over his shoulder.
I open her bedroom door and we walk out of the hallway passing Thato's room. He’s awake now and fucking that bitch. I shake my head and we go to the living room and open the door that leads outside. We have 5 minutes  before the alarm rings. We run out of the house and yard. The car drives to us and Col practically throws her in the car as we get it. Msizi drives off quickly and when we turn around the corner we hear the sound of the alarm. She wakes up as the car is on the way and tries to fight again but I bitch slap her hard and knocking her out.
Msizi parks the car and I walk out and unlock the door. They walk in with her still out. Col pulls the chair for her and Kudjoe  sits her down. Col cuffs her hands and knees. I walk to the kitchen and fill the bucket with water. When I’m done I walk back to the living room and throw water on her waking her up. She gasps for air and coughs. I sit down and look at her.
“What do you  want from me?” she asks looking at me.
“ isn’t it obvious? I mean you are here aren’t you Natasha?” Col tells her.
“ What the fuck do you want from me cause I know it’s not money.” We look at each other and laugh. She looks at us confused.
“ What’s funny?” she asks
“ You are. Nathi nathi.” Col says singing.
“ What the fuck are really about?”
“ That mouth of yours needs to be cleaned. We've got your shit bitch!” Col says singing again and laughs.
“ which shit you mother fuckers!” Col throws a punch on her eye.
“ Don't disrespect my mama like that Nathi. I haven’t cursed your mother’s womb for bringing rotten children into this world. It's like the devil himself cursed her cause you're all nut jobs. Your family is an abomination.”
“ Fuck you!” she curses at Col or maybe all of us.
“ You will be sorry by the time we are done with you.”
“ I’ve heard that before.” She says laughing.
“ What were you doing recording Jabu Natasha?” I ask her and she keeps quiet. I cock my head to the side waiting for her to answer me.
“ finding know what you’re talking about.”
“ You have recordings of her while she was living in your house in Secunda. Her bedroom and bathroom was bigger with cameras. Why?”  she swallows hard and shifts.
“ I never did that. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know anything about recordings.”
“ You shouldn’t’ve lied to him. He hates it" Col says.
“ I don't know anything about that.” She lies again.
“ Do you think we are here to play games with you Natasha?. You think we have nothing to do but be here ask you  stupid questions?. What do you take us for?” Mci asks her as he walks towards her and crouches in front of her.
“ I am not lying.” She denies it again. Mci walks to the kitchen and comes back with a screwdriver.
“ It's  better if I’m the one who uses it cause if he does. You’ll have one eye.”
“ What are you doing?” She asks  him as her voice shakes.
“ Getting the truth out of you since you won't talk.”  Mci lifts his hand and stabs Natasha's hand. She bites her lips and refuses to scream. Hmm.
“ I guess I didn’t use my strength as much as I thought I did. Who has Jabu's recordings of her naked in her bathroom and bedroom?” She spits in his face. Mci laughs as he wipes the spit off of his face.
“ One last chance Natasha. Why were you recording her? Who has the copies other than you?”
“ You’ll never know mother fucker!.” She says laughing.
“ Get her feet wet" I tell them. Col chuckles and goes to the kitchen. He comes back with that bucket again and throws water on her feet. Natasha is confused cause she doesn’t know what's going on.
They uncut her,  lift her feet and put them on the new coffee table cause the last one Thando broke it. I get up and take off my belt. I really love this belt cause it is pure leather and the chain is thick and very strong. I wrap it around my hand just twice. Her eyes go from her legs, to my hand and my face and I can see terror. I lift my arm up and hit her under her feet and she screams.
“ Damn girl!. I didn’t know you can scream. Scream for us Nathi scream baby!” Col says as I keep hitting Natasha on her feet.
She just cries. She doesn’t beg me to stop. She screams crying. I can do this all day but one thing for sure is. She will talk whether she likes it or not. I hit her over and over again and her feet start bleeding. It’s not enough for me. I begin to hit her on top of her feet and her skin breaks. I see blood and she screams. I land to hits fast on her and cries out. Tears stream down. I land another one and a bone cracks. I stood and look at her.
“ Talk.” I say.
“ I don’t know anything….” This bitch think I’m playing.
I hit her over and over again until both her feet are bloody. I know few bones have broken but she will still be able to walk although she’s going to have some trouble.
“ I will break you Natasha. We will break you and you will tell us everything you know about Jabu. You see Thando was just like you. Betrayed Jabu, pretended to be her friend and love her while she was lying. Working for your friends. The Dlamini's. She told us you and them work together and know each other but she doesn’t know how. She also told us about the money in your house and what do you know…..”  I say chuckling. 
“ No please don't . Please don’t tell me you didn’t take the money"
“ We did. All of it and the drugs too that we found. All that money Natasha?”
“ You're all dead! You hear me?. Dead!.”
“ No bitch. You’re the one who’s going to die. Thando is dead and you will follow her too. I told you that I will get you and your friends. You will pay for what you did to Jabu.”
“ My family will find you and kill you. They will know it was you!”
“Their will know it was you. You stole their money, drugs and then ran away with it. They will never find your body cause you will be eaten by the lions.” I tell her.
“ No please don't.  Don’t kill me. I’ll do anything you want just don’t kill me. I’ll give you all of our contacts just please don’t kill me.” She begs.
“ No bitch. It's not going to be as easy as you think. You think you can just talk and we'll let you walk out of here? You’re crazy.”
“ Rapahels father will kill you if anything happens to me. That man loves me!.”
“ That man wants nothing to do with you and your family. When he finds out what you have been making his son do. He is going to kill you himself.”
“ What do you want from me?” she cries.
“ Talk.”
“ ok. Ok. I will talk but you have to promise me that I will be safe.”
“ We promise” we all say at the same time. We are lying to her and if she’s smart. She'll see that we are.
“ ok where do you want me to start?”
“ At the very beginning.”
“ One day I saw this photo of this beautiful  girl on Thato’s phone and I just knew it was her. I asked him who she is and he told me it's  his girlfriend. I asked him to show me her and he did the next few days when I was dropping or picking  him from school I cant remember exactly but her. I could never forget cause she looks like her mother. But her skin, her hair and everything  else about her is her father. I knew that we were in trouble cause if they find out about her…we will all die.” She says.
I am hoping and praying that what’s she’s going to say is the same thing mam’ Mavis told us and hopefully more. This bitch is strong cause if it was another person? They would be crying of pain right now. Smore.a cold hearted bitch that’s why.
“ I went to the orphanage and asked Lizzy if it’s really her cause the last time I saw her she was a baby. Hours born. She told me it is her and was shocked to see that I had a picture of her. I explained to her that my nephew and her are in a relationship so she needs to make sure that she is kept hidden cause that's  what we all agreed on. She promised me she would but she failed be cause of that perverted husband of his. Amara ran away and went to live with Thato. I knew my sister was going to find out and she would want her to stay away from her son. I did too but there was nothing I could do cause they were in love.” She says looking at me. I want the whole story from the beginning. Not these half truths.
“ Why would she want Amara to stay away from her son?. Who’s going to kill all of you?. Natasha how do you exactly know Amara?”
“ It was the five of us studying at the University of Cape Town. We were all friends. Me, my sister, lizzy, Bongeka and Nozibusiso. Bongeka and Nozi are sisters. Nozi was Amara's mother…..” Oh my God she’s dead. I don't interrupt her. I let her tell her story.
“ We used to stay in the same house, go to the same classes. We did everything together including going to. This one time we went to this club and we met some men there. They brought us drinks and we left with them and went to their beach house where we continued to party. Long story short. Micheal was taken with Nozi. She was so beautiful, kind, humble and very smart. Michael fell head over hills in love with her the first time he saw her. They were inseparable. The whole time we were partying they were sitting together talking. They talked for hours and I just knew that this was a match made in heaven but her sister got jealous of her. She couldn’t stand that her younger sister had found a rich, handsome man.”  What is with these women always getting jealous of each other?. Col helps her drink some water.
“ They took us home during the day and Michael promised to see Nozi before he left cause he was in Cape Town for business. We were about to go home for the December holidays. Nozi and Bongeka are from Harrismith. So we had decided that we will all go home at the same time so Nozi can be able to meet with Michael. But Michael  never showed up. After three days of waiting we left Cape town and we went home. We didn’t see each other during the holidays so when we all got back to Cape Town Nozi was not the same. She told us that after two days of us leaving. Bongeka went back to Cape town and she based been there ever since. When we got to our place we were surprised to find her not there. She came after 2 days and told us she has a place if her own. Her man bought it for her. She invited us to dinner at her place and as we were having dinner. Michael comes in. He was shocked to see Nozi because Bongeka had told him that Nozi was promised to another man and she was promised to him. That was not the truth and when Nozi denied it. Bongeka forced us to lie cause she was a bully. She was older than us so she had that power over us so we agreed with her. When Michael asked Noziwhy she never showed up when he sent people to lick her up Nozi told him that no one came. We knew then that it was Bongeka who did all of that. When Michael  asked her why she started crying and claimed to be pregnant by him. Michael had no choice but to do the right thing. Marry Bongeka. Nozi was crushed because of their betrayal. Michael slept with her sister and her sister wanted the man she loved.”
The guys and I look at each other shocked. Who the fuck does something like that?. Your own blood betraying you like that?. That’s fucked up.
“ what happened after?” I ask her.
“ We didn’t know that Nozi was applying to another university so the two months that she was in Cape Town were hard for her. Seeing her sister parading her pregnancy in front of her eyes was too much. When she got accepted to do her second year in Pretoria. She left without telling us. When her family received word that Michael’s family was coming to pay damages for the child Bongeka was carrying. Nozi never  came at home. We were there. All four of us and we were happy for Bongeka. But what she wanted didn’t happen. Michael didn’t marry her. They just paid the damages and left and she was devastated.” i sit down cause this story is the same one Mam Mavis told us. I had hoped it wasn’t true but it is.
“ Michael flew us to Cape Town and he left the country. We never saw Nozi that year. She never came home cause she was devastated. Bongeka miscarried the baby and Michael wasn’t there. He came after a week that happened and he broke things off with her. But told her she  an keep the house he bought her. The house that was meant to be Nozi's. We never saw Michael again that year then a year later Bongeka tells us that Nozi and Michael reunite and she was pregnant for him. Deep down I was happy cause they belonged to each other. Nozi and Michael got married and it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. They have for children now. Amara has an older brother, sister and a brother. She’s the last born.”
“ Oh my God.” I am shocked. “ where is her family Natasha? How the hell did she end up at the orphanage?”
“ They live in Cape Town. Her younger is in the USA, but the older brother is here and her older sister is in London. Michael I think is in Dubai cause he lives there. Michael is half Arab and Half Nigerian. His mom is Nigerian and His father Is Arab. That’s why Jabu, I mean Amara is so beautiful.”
“ How did she end up at the orphanage?, How did her mother die?”
“ As the years went by we still kept in contact and Bongeka pretended to be cool with everything so when Nozi was pregnant with her last child. They wanted a new nanny so Bongeka made sure they hired her inside girl but Nozi and Michael didn’t know and Michael was in Joburg that time. So Nozi went home to give birth as she always does and we were there as her friends but what she didn’t know was that Bongeka was going to take the baby and exchange it or kill it and we were going to help her cause she had dirt ok us. She was blackmailing us cause we had told her about what our family does and she used that against us. Nozi went to give birth at the hospital and I don’t know how she did that cause Amara went missing hours after she was born.” What?
“ The whole hospital was turned upside down even the police came to look at the cameras but they found nothing. Bongeka paid people to make sure no one suspects anything. Lizzy had dressed as one of the nurses and she's the one who took Amara. I didn't know it was her until I confronted her and she said yes. It is Amara.”
“ How did her mother die?”
“ We heard that she got hit by a car while driving and it burned into ashes cause the body that was there had her DNA. That’s how she died.” She says. The guys and I look at each other. I don’t believe her.
“ So Amara has a family and you have always known. Tell me about the videos.”
“ I was blackmailing Bongeka with them. She’s paying me money to keep quiet.”
“ Has she seen the videos and have you ever sent them to anyone else other than her?”
“ No one has them. They are in my house in my safe. She only saw them when I vide called her. She doesn’t Amarato be found so she’s paying us money to keep quiet.”
“ Who is Michael?”
“ Maybe you know him or have beard about him. His family is into oil amongst many other things. He is known as the Godfather…..The Godfather of West Africa. He rules it. You know him.”
The guys and I curse. I am shocked and shaken to my bones. This is not happening. I live with the daughter of the most feared man in Africa not just West Africa. How the hell did I not see the resemblance?. Oh my God.
“ Her father is Thee Michael Kader “ Killer” Hadid?” This bitch better  be fucking with me.
“ That’s him. If he finds out what he did. He will kill all of us.”
“ Does your family know about Amara?”
“ they do. They are also being paid to keep quiet.”
“ Does Thato know?”
“ No he doesn’t.”
“ I guess it’s time Killer knew about his daughter. I thought I was going to kill all of you but I want him to deal with the four of you cause you covered up this huge crime. You took away his last born daughter he has never seen it held. You took that chance away from Nozi. Her last birn child. How could you?”
“ I am so sorry.  Please don’t tell him.”
“ I cant wait to see what he’s going to do with you.” They are fucked. I am fucked too.
