Onalerona's POV

If I knew he would be here I don't think I would have taken this job but it's a little too late for that. It's not like another job opportunity is waiting for me outside so it's best I suck it up and pretend like I don't know him. I came here for one thing which is to work and that's what I'm intending to do. I don't need my past problems or any distractions get in my way.

I've managed to let go of him and what we had so it shouldn't be too difficult to work here, right. "These are our new housekeepers. Ona and Rendani." says ma. "Its a pleasure to meet you guys." We say simultaneously. "Its my pleasure to meet fine ladies too. Ma I'm glad you didn't hire old people." They chuckle. "Ziphathe kahle these women are off limits." (Behave yourself.)

"Kodwa ma what if one of them is my soulmate and now you preventing me from being happy." We chuckle. "Nonsense ayikho nje leyonto." says ma. (there is no such.) "Don't worry in our spare time we will talk." He winks at us and we giggle. He is very flirtatious and the fact that he does it in front of his family creeps me out a bit. He looks like the forward type though so I'll pass.

Anyways i wouldn't want to move to the next brother and possibly face another threat. This time I don't know if i would fight back or let it go like I did the first time. "So let me introduce you guys. I know you will probably forget their names but you will remember as time goes on. So this is Nkosikhona and his wife Rea, Zobuhle, Zithulele and Zenzele and his wife Khanya and this is my husband." We nod.

Zithulele is the flirtatious one he kind of gives of last born vibes and then we have Zobuhle who is the only girl I hope she isn't spoiled cause I know how only girls tend to be bitchy and think the world revolves around them but by the looks of things she doesn't seem like that kind. Zenzele is the oldest I think and he looks a lot like his father his wife is beautiful that's for sure.

We won't even talk about Nkosikhona and his wife because we know who they are. At least Mrs got what she wanted at the end of the day which was him. "Okay then let's leave you to rest tomorrow is your first day and you need to be refreshed right." says ma and we nod. We bid our farewells and she takes us back to the maids quarters.

We first pass by another cottage and we get inside and it's filled with gadgets and all that. I'm too confused to even name one. "So here we have the identification process and all that. We take your fingerprints to ensure you the one that's entering the premises. We already have your details we just need the fingerprints. Wherever you go and they ask what kind of job you have don't tell them you work for the Mthembu's. Are we clear?" asks ma and we nod.

We do the necessary things and she takes us back to our quarters. "So you have to be in the house by 6:30 and when you enter you will have to enter using the sliding door we will unlock it in the morning make sure that you have eaten breakfast before you come to work. We all leave for work by 7:30 so I'm sure you guys will start cleaning then. Whenever you need to go somewhere to buy groceries or fetch our clothes from the dry cleaner you go with Xolani. The kids arrive at 15:30 but 16:30 is the latest and then you guys will knock off at 19:00 you can eat our food too when it's dinner time. Nobody is allowed to enter unless they called and the guards will be the ones to let them in. Should you ever feel like you are in danger there is a SOS button in each and every room in the cupboards. I'll show you the buttons tomorrow." We nod.

"Why is there so much security here?" I ask. "With fame comes danger." she answers and i nod. "I will show you the buttons tomorrow don't worry. Don't ask a lot of questions and you won't hear any lies. You are here to do your job and not ask questions are we clear." We nod. "I'm sorry for asking." "No it's okay I'm just saying that for future reference." I nod.
