QUEEN OF DIAMONDS

CHAPTER 26

After that night we moved to Joburg 3 weeks later, got the kids in to Hilton College and got a really big house. Like a fucking mall! We are the only house on the street, it's that big! Today is election announcement and Andile's party is having a viewing gala so we can all get the results together. So far Andile and his opponent are neck in the neck but his opponent is ahead by like 70 votes. Andile being young and what not was not really working in his favor but he is really appealing to the youth which is working in his favor. Have I mentioned I haven't seen Andile in almost 2 weeks? No? Well I haven't seen him in 2 weeks. My glam squad had just finished with my hair and make up- yes I have a glam squad, and a PR team and a security team. "Good evening ladies, can I have the room?" Andile asked walking in. Indoda yami is a stunner, even if I'm mad at him. He was wearing a black Tom Ford suit and boy did he smell like money. The glam squad nodded and practically ran out. "Awusemhle muntu wami," is the first thing he said as he walked over and kissed my forehead. As if that would make me forget I haven't seen him in a week and a half. He hasn't even been elected yet and he's already spending less time at home. And ayi not to eat my own pussy out but I looked stunning. I had gone for a soft glam make up look with fox eyes. I got my weave done in a nape bun with curls hanging in front. My dress? Like Megan once said, 'look at how I bodied that'. The 2 hours I put in to working out is very evident. I was wearing a white blazer dress and white Amina Muaddi heels. This is also a leg appreciation kinda thing because wow 4 hours spent on my legs a week paid off. "Thank you." I replied. "I'm sorry I haven't been around for the past week." he said. "Mhmm, are you ready to go?" I asked standing up. "Erhh, uhm uhh" he stuttered as he stared at my legs. Have I mentioned the dress stops right above my knees. "Are you going to leave dressed like that?" he asked. Quick brief. My PR team told me I had to start wearing more conservative 'first lady' like clothes, i literally said 'bullshit' and asked for the next topic of the meeting. "Yes," I replied. "Keabetswe we spoke about this." he said. "No you told me! You didn't consult with me, which you seem to be doing a lot of these days. You left this house almost 2 weeks ago saying you were going to the office! Imagine my surprise when the very next morning I see you on TV! In fucking Cape Town!" I scream. Like I'm pissed pissed. He didn't even call me nakanye, he only passed messages on through his assistant, can you imagine the nerve! "Keabetswe -" he started. "I'm not done! Listen to me and listen to me well Andile Nkosana Mkhize, if actually scratch that when you win this election and you pull a stunt like this again, Tshidi knows a very good divorce lawyer. I will divorce you and you will not see my kids again. And yes that's a threat!" I say and he looks at me shocked. Good, let that sink in. I grabbed my YSL clutch and reapplied my gloss. "Can we please go, we are going to be late," I say looking at him. "Let's get something straight, you will never raise your voice at me again, not while I'm the man in this relationship. I have said this once and ngizoyiphinda, if you want to be a man get a dick and find a girlfriend. Another thing, I don't care how pissed you are you will not threaten me with my kids. Siyevana? "he asked. I was about to scream at him again but decided against it and just left the room. I got downstairs and found the head of PR, Kganya there. "Hey KG, fancy seeing you here."i said walking towards him as he eyed me distastefully ."I'm just here to make sure you look public ready, and you don't. That isn't the dress we agreed on." he said. Oh. There was another dress they wanted me to wear, a white satin ballgown dress. It's also gorgeous but it's not.... Me. "Yes, but I thought this one gives off a clear message, boss bitch in full support of her husband vibes, you know?" I said and KG just stared at me. "No, it gives bitch who slept with a lot of the politicians in this room to get her husband voted for vibes, you know" he said and I almost slapped him. "What?" I said. "No offense sweety but no, that barely there dress you are wearing is not screaming first Lady," he said. At that point Andile came down the stairs and nodded at KG who said good evening back. "KG, I respect you neh. But your job is to give opinions on what makes me look good publicly, not spewing bullshit. If you can't do the job you are being paid for tell me so I can get a new head of PR, stay within your tax bracket," I said and he rolled his eyes at me unmoved. "When you are done with your 'I think I'm that bitch' moment, go change. The gala starts in 20 minutes." he said and I heard Andile laugh, I turned and glared at him. He stifled a laugh and looked down. I turned back to KG and we stared at each other. I'm going to stand my ground, I'm not a baby.
