Her wings unfolded

Chapter 48

"Isn't it weird how he just died?"  Mandy asks as we were having a lazy day. The parents went out and they took Nkosenye with.

Me : "What are you talking about Amanda?"

Mandy : "Wait don't be mad but what if he's not dead or maybe he was killed?"

Me : "By who? Who would kill him and why would he want to take his death when he has kids to take care of?"

Mandy : "but seriously all this is suspicious. I mean the guy didn't get the op done you say and he was in coma then months later the doctor tells you he died? How? When the doctor never told y'all about how he isn't responding to the treatment or something and as far as I know the doctor should first suggest the family to switch off the machines." 

Me : "You scaring me."

Mandy : "What if his father knows something about his death and now he's tryna shift the blame unto you so everyone doesn't dwell much on the issue?"

Me : "Mandy please stop! You scaring me and you should stop watching too many documentaries."

Mandy : "hmm"  she hums. My phone rings and it's an unknown number.

***************
Me : "Hello?"

Caller : "Good day mam. You speaking to Lawrence Rhadebe , Mr Biyela Jnr's lawyer and is like for you to please avail yourself at our offices."

Me : "Oh. What is this all about?"

Lawrence : "I'll disclose everything once you get here."  He cuts the call.

***************
Mandy helps me get ready then offers to drive me to the location the lawyer sent.

Mandy : "I'll be waiting in that coffee shop opposite this building Okay?"  She says pointing at the shop then squeezes my arm gently. I nod and get off the car then walk inside the building.

Receptionist : "Good day ma'am. You must be Mr Biyela's fiance?" I just nod and she smiles at me before leading me to some office. She knocks on a door then opens and walks in

Receptionist : "Mr R , here is your guest."

Mr R : "Thank you Portia. Ms Ndlovu. Please , have a sit."  He points me to a chair.

Me : "You called for me?"

Mr R : "Uh Yes! Your fiance was a good friend of mine and a client. You are actually here regarding his Will."

Me : "Uh shouldn't his family be here ?"

Mr R : "They weren't included besides his mother , she'll join us shortly." I nod and just then MaJiyane walks in , wearing black.

MaJiyane : "I apologize for being late. Hi my baby." She hugs and kisses my head then sits next to me.

Mr R : "MaJ , I'll start."

MaJiyane : "Okay."

Mr R : "So Nkosinathi left a R4 billion trust fund for his kids and they shall claim it when they have degrees. He also had a quite a few of properties and he left 2 each for his kids , one for his wife ; and the rest to his mother. He also had a total of 6 businesses which he left for his kids but shall be managed by their mother until they are mature enough and have degrees. He also requested that his wife and kids move in a new house and the house is a surprise."

Me : "Wait what?"

Mr R : "Mrs Biyela , I know this is overwhelming , shocking even but this was your husband's last wish."

Me : "Is it even ...wait I'm not even his wife!"

Mr R : "It doesn't appear like that here Mam , I even habe your marriage certificate."

Me : "What? Lemme see it?!"  He pages through his files then hands me a document.

Mr R : "Tell me if that isn't your signature?" I am gobsmacked!

Me : "How..wait what?"

MaJiyane : "I'm sorry but it's true baby and we did pay for your lobola when went to your home to pay for our grandson. I know I should've told you but it was for the best. This is one of the reasons why my husband hates you so please accept all this , if not for you then for my grandkids and son."

Mr R : "The new house will only be accessed by you and it should be ready by next week. They'll be a few changes."

Me : "So I was already his wife?!"  I ask crying.
