"What happened to you?" Omphile scowls as he puts my luggage into his car. "I got into an accident" I lowly say. "And the tears rolling down your face?" I remain silent, getting into his car.

He gets in a while later and drives home. "Minentle" He calls out as he parks into the driveway. "They want to kill you, just give them their diamonds" I tell him. "Is that what they told you? Did they leave out the part where you're next?" He scoffs.

I quickly get out of the car and into the house. "Entle? O nyaka eng mo?" I ignore her as I go up to my room and lock the door, pacing around. I tightly hold onto my phone as I book a flight back to Western Cape.

I reach for my bag and treat the wound on my forehead, before my name is shouted. "Entle!" I open the door, annoyed and head down to where I'm being called. I grimace, finding all three of them seated in the living room.

"Hlala phantsi" Tata says and everyone goes silent. I take the seat opposite him. "Where have you been?" He breaks the silence. "I've been staying over at a friend's house" I clear my throat.

"Do I know that friend of yours?" Mama interjects. "No" She chuckles to herself in response. "Please stop whatever you two are thinking. This time, I'm going back, Omphile, can you please drive me to the airport?" I get up, walking away from them.

He follows shortly, starting the car and driving towards the airport. "I'll tell the staff to get the private jet ready" He says. "Ha-eh, I've already booked a flight. I'm fine with flying with other people" I dismiss.

"It's not up for discussion" He says as he drives into the private airstrip. I sigh, getting out of the car and into the jet. I walk past every available room until I reach the bedroom, my head hits the pillow and so do my tears.

I unlock Ona and I's apartment and drag my bags inside. "Mosadi!" I call out, she walks out of her room, stuffing her face as usual but she's also on a call. "Nami ngiyakuthanda" She clears her throat before hanging up.

"Who was that?" I frown as she turns her attention to me. She puts her plate down before grinning. "That was my man" She squeals and I raise an eyebrow at her. "Who?"

"Who else? It's Sbonelo" My mood immediately turns sour. "You don't want to do that. He's using you Ona" She rolls her eyes in response. "He's not, He loves me and I love him Minnie." She mumbles but I see right through her.

"You can stop acting now, I know about their plans and them blackmailing you Ona. Why didn't you tell me?" I sit down on the couch and she does the same. "Have you ever been held gunpoint, Minnie?" I freeze.

"I-Y-You were held gunpoint? By who?" I start panicking. "Samkelo... I wanted to tell you about him using you but Sbonelo found out and told him. He almost killed me, that's why I left"

"Ona... I'm sorry" I choke out. "It's okay, I know you loved him. This may all be hard to believe but it's the truth, you need to stay away from him. Please" She sincerely pleads. "I will" I promise.

I bite the inside of my cheek and head up to my room, locking the door. I reach for my phone searching up Samkelo and Sbonelo Zungu but I end up finding nothing so I decide to hire a private investigator.

"This is going to end up biting you back in the ass. Don't mess with those people Minnie, stay out of this. Let your dad and Omphile handle it" Ona stands by the doorway. "How can I Ona? I can't just let it go, ne ke mo rata motho ola and he decided to use me to get some stupid diamonds"

"I know but leave yourself out of this. I've heard many things about those poeple and they're not good. Calm down and we'll talk about this, don't act out of anger" She hugs me and I burst out into tears. "Askies hle Mosadi"

"This is all my fault, you almost got killed because of me and now he wants to hurt Omphile" I sniffle. "Nx" She clicks her tongue whilst rubbing my back in a soothing manner.

I look down at my phone's wallpaper as I sit against the wall on the floor. It's a picture of Samkelo and I cooking. I wipe the lone tear that rolls down my face. I open my phone and head to my gallery.

More tears stream down my eyes as I stare at the photos of him and I before selecting all the photos, my finger hoovers over the delete button. I press cancel and toss my phone aside. I curl up into a little ball, silently crying.

My phone starts ringing, cutting my cries off, I put it up against my ear without checking the caller ID. "Themba lami" My breath hitches in response. "Ngiyaxolisa, ngicela sikhulume..." I remain silent.

"I know that you can hear me. Naledi, I'm sorry. I love you, just hear me out, please" He frustratedly sighs. "I'll wait until you're ready to talk to me but remember that I love you"

He's lying, he doesn't love me. He's lying... He's lying. He's doesn't love me! He's been using me all this time and he wants me to blindly walk back into his arms, forgiving him for everything he's done to me and my family.

"Ngixolele, sthandwa sami. Ngiyakuthanda yezwa?" He breathes out and I scoff before wiping a bit of my tears away. He's lying to my face... Again.

I gave him my everything and he still wants to brrak the little part of my heart that is left. I have nothing more to give to him, if I go back to him. I'll go crazy. I hang up before he can contact and start wailing my lungs out.

I'm done with him....
