The throne's keeper.

Chapter 29 - I see you.

Khwezikazi.

"She's pregnant, did you know ?"

I ask as I look at Anele now and she stares at me furrowed brows and a clueless expression.
She looks at the body again and tears fall down her cheeks as she covers her face.

"How could Mandla do this to me ? After all these years ? After all these years ?!!"
She yells as she starts to move around in tracksuits and everything.

"After everything ? It makes sense why he bought that house..."
She says, more like to herself before chucking again and she shakes her head

"When he told me that he'd be marrying somebody else I said... "Okay." Because I understandood that this is what his family wanted from him and he promised me that he wouldn't fall for Khosi and what did he do ? Fell inlove with her, fell flat on his face inlove with Khosi while i was there, while his family kicked my children and I to the curb because God forbid that i had to be a Dlomo. And, and, and, his mother... his awful mother ! I hate that woman, she's bitter, so so bitter but I stuck through that !! When he was down, and Khosi took his shit and left I was the one that picked him up and made him who he is today... lord I loved that men even when he showed me that he doesn't love me. I gave him babies, i let him put me through shit but I still welcomed him back into my life with open arms and with open legs Khwezi. And now I am here, with this woman..."
She says the last part so lowly, more like to herself and she's stopped pacing around and now she's just crying.

"Why can't I get this right ? What's wrong with me ?"

"Nothing is wrong with you Anele."
I try to reassure her as I try to gather myself because I'd been crying with her all throughout her rant.

But we don't have time to wallow in all of this, we have to figure out what to do next.

"We will deal with this later ,we have to do something now, if there's any chance that she's still alive."

I tell her as I now pull out my phone from my pocket and I quickly dial Saneles number, it rings four times before he picks.

"Sanele, we need your help."

"What did you do ?"
He asks as soon as I utter those words and I swallow the knot that's in my throat and I look at Anele again.

"There's a body on the floor of an unconscious woman and i don't know what to do."

"When did this happen ?"

"Thirty minutes ago ?I think."

I tell him and he goes quiet for sometime.

"How bad is it ?"

"I- i- I don't know but there blood flowing down her face."

"Okay, okay, you need to leave,now and drive straight back home."

"We can't just leave her like this though-"

"Khwezi, I'll handle this, just get out of there, nje ngamanje. Make sure that Anele follows you home too."
[Right now]

He says hanging up. At this point i am not even surprised that he knows that I am with Anele.

We both speed out of the house immediately when we make it to the gate there's first responders and an ambulance behind it heading towards her house as I press hard on my gas paddle. I waste no time picking up Faye and we continue our drive back home.

When we get up to the penthouse Anele is quiet and Faye is very energetic.

I open the door to the patio for her to go and relax outside before walking back into the house and I find her sitting in the living room area just staring into space.
