They where all pick up from their location an they were told it was an emergency and their lifes where in danger and which human being is not scared of danger,so they all agreed and are heading to a safe house in different vehicles and when they reach the safe house after a long car trip and couldn't recognise the place the  house is situated but it was a three storey building with a private beach so the all arrived and it was the whole family and they still had a lot of questions as to what danger they are in. but to the grandparents it was not that shocking because it was a life the lead before and they had an idea what was going on because they knew about Alutha's other life so it was not shocking and they helped come down the rest of the family to wait to hear from Alutha.

Grandfather:"can you all calm down we are all here as a family and I know it's unusual but I'm sure there is a good reason we are all here and I guess because princess is not here she is the one with the information so let settle down and wait for her to explain" and the brothers all looked shocked of how could princess be involved in all this thing. to them it had to be the Cuban brothers because they too where not here so what their grandfather was saying didn't make sense.

Molemo:"what if she didn't make it here in time and something happened to her? I don't think it's the princess because the peréz brothers are also not her so maybe this danger is after them and it involved us in some kind of way"and the brothers nod their head in agreement because they couldn't imagine the princess in that light. but it seems that they are the only people in the dark because everyone one else in the room knew it might be the princess and right on cue they head cars pulling up the driveway and it seems the time for answers was now and all the peréz brothers and the couple came in and they had looks that could not be read by any of the people in this house and when the mother saw all her kids coming in she lead out a sigh she didn't even know she was holding and said Amen because she knew all her children had a life she did not approve of but as a mother all you can do is love them and hope and pray they change but now she can see they are fine and she really thought marriage and children would change her princess but it seems she is exactly the same if not worse so she will still pray for all their safety.

The whole room has come to silence only the noise of the kids are making happy to see their aunty after a while and the question that follow about the babies in her tummy and how they got there and when did she swallow them. And when the little reunion end she instruct them to the kitchen to find snacks because she knew her husband was always thoughtful when it come to his safehouses to accommodate the family so the kids ran along and it was time to address the pink elephant in the room.

Alutha:"hello family I'm sorry you had to be dragged out of your home for this but it needed to be done I can't explain right now because we are still waiting for the rest of my family to come then we can explain in detail so for now we can settle down and the ladies can go choose rooms you will be occupying for the remainder of you stay" the ladies being her mami,grandma,tshidi,Thandi(tumelo's fiance),mbalenhle(pontso's girlfriend) and her friend Aya who has become part of the family,they all went upstairs like instructed. the Motaung brothers where still not convinced and now suspect their former friend now brother in law had a hand in this since his family was also coming and the cars that the Mkhize family were in drove to the parking garage and the house was full of the both families now  and everyone could see this really serious because even both Mkhize sisters and their families where here and Alutha being the good daughter in law welcomed the family and show them where they where sleeping and only come back after making sure her mami and grandma where also settled.  the older ladies where all in the kitchen now preparing a meal for both families and the man where having drinks but the tension between all the young man was too much and need to be addressed soon because they are now family.



After dinner and all the kids where put to bed the adults gathered in the lounge waiting for an explanation so Alutha and her husband together with the peréz brothers stood to address them and the Motaung brothers all stole glance amongst each other to confirm their suspensions.

Alutha:"so family the are things you don't know about us but before that we need to be sure telling you this we can fully trust that all we say here will end here so since we have lawyers amongst us they will know what this documents we have here are but for those who don't know these are NDA these are to say anything we say or do here stays in this house stays here and if any of you disclose it you will be in trouble.so family we would like for you to sign them before we proceed"and she hand them the papers after going through them and it is just standard NDA and they all sign  them and  hand one of the youngest peréz brother the contracts "so why are they not signing them because we are all equal here"asked Tumelo and the brothers just looked at him with blank expression"I will explain abuti"says Alutha.

Alutha:"so family now that is out of the way  what I'm going to say might shock some of you if not all me and my husband together with my brothers are a part of the Cuban mafia and we are very dangerous people but we have kept that under control with my brothers here as the face of my organisation back in Cuba and my husband works independently without a team many know him as GH....." She didn't even finish the sentence and the were gun drawed at them from her grandfather"you son of bitch thought you could get way with this right? this was you plan all along to sleep with my baby and be close to me and I would not find out" ghost just stood there unfaced by all of this meanwhile the ladies in the room were on the floor the only people who where still standing where ghost,Alutha,the peréz brothers, Ntate moshimane(Alutha's father)and both her  grandparents but everyone was on the floor and the old man seen ready to kill because this was the person he has been looking for years without success and now he is standing there but also the father of his great-grandchildren.  Alutha:"papa can you please put the gun down you are scaring the people in this room papa and  I also want to know what is going on here papa:"WHAT GOING ON HERE IS THE FACT THAT  YOU ALUTHA IS  SLEEPING WITH MY BIGGEST ENEMY THAT WHAT IS GOING ON  HERE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME WHO HE IS AND THIS WHOLE TIME HE HAS BEEN WORMING HIS WAY IN MY FAMILY,AND I WILL NOT LET THIS DEVIL NEAR MY FAMILY I WOULD RATHER DIE FIRST" he shouted and ghost was still not faced by all this because if he wanted to kill him he would have done it by now.

Ghost:"would you calm down old man you will give yourself a heart attack"he say that to the every angry man with a gun and that just fuels his anger but when he glanced at his princess he sees something he thought he could never see.his own blood ready to kill him for his worst enemy and he knows Alutha more than the people in this room so the look in her eyes says it all and  that just makes him sad because it took a lot for a man like him to be sad. What make him even more sad is that  this here is his heir the only person  to carry his legacy after he is gone and it doesn't matter that she is a girl his name will never die as long as she is alive that for sure and that person is looking at him will a nothing but death even after he told her who this man is and he knows right there she is will never be separated from this devil called ghost and that makes him very sad so he drops his gun and Alutha notice the change of emotions from him and she rushes to his side to try and assure him of her love and loyalty because he is the only person who support her dreams and she can't afford for him to be broken especially now that the enemy is out for her family she need to fix this but he just turns to leave and his wife follow after him because she has never seen her husband like this and Alutha goes on following them leaving everyone with so much questions and and a seed of doubt in the Mkhize family in what kind of a person their son took as his wife and mother of his kids excusing the fact their own son is also in the Mafia.
