Zain and Larona spent a few weeks hanging out together in Seshego until it was time for Zain to head back to Cape Town. His jet was available at the airport in Polokwane City hence he had to drive there to be punctual for his journey.

Eventually, he sends his farewell to his queen and drove off to the airport to catch his flight. The men who were of service, helped him put his belongings in the jet and then the flight had took off.

Several hours laters, he landed in Cape Town and then climbs in another vehicle which had a personal driver to serve him. He sends the directive to his driver to take me somewhere that was in the outskirt of Cape Town. It took more than 3 hours to arrive at the specific place and eventually they had arrived.

Zain got outside of the car and the weather was below average temperature. The cold smooth breeze blew over his face as he walked towards the entrance of the house. He knocked a few times and then an elderly woman with beautiful soft curly hair opens the door for him to enter inside. "My dear Zain." she sweetly greets him and offers to make tea for both of them.

"Good evening Aunty Zatima." He greets her back respectfully. They both held their own cup of tea and sat down on the sofas. "That baby is still asleep so we will have to talk as quietly as possible." Aunty Zatima notifies him with a smile.
"Thanks for the heads up my beautiful aunt." Zain charmingly replied. "So my son, I've been meaning to ask this. Where are the parents of that baby? I've been trying to talk to Rex about this however he had never given me a good explanation. All he said was he is busy looking for then but I don't know if that is true or not." said Aunt Zatima.

"Well Aunty the reason I'm here today is to collect the baby. We've found his parents and they're located at a motel as we speak. Rex was indeed honest about how this situation had turned out." Zain lied to her. "Oh God is great. This is good news indeed." Aunt Zatima was pleased from hearing the feedback.
"I'll go get him just now." She softly whispers to Zain and went to fetch Dean's baby.

During this time, Zain texted Rex that he handled the baby situation successfully therefore they will soon meet up at another location. Rex replied by text in agreement of his plan.  Soon after that, aunt Zatima carried Khumamelo in his deep sleep and Zain carefully holds the baby. He showed his gratitude for her care over Dean's baby and then went back to his car. Luckily, the driver did have something to safely put Dean's baby seated so that the transportation mustn't cause any injury.

When everything was settled, Zain together with his driver went to meet up with Rex at a different location. Rex was with Omer and there were men dressed in all black suits with armory.

"Your old aunt is a star Rex. I actually salute your uncle to remarry such a beautiful person." said Zain in a manner to tease Rex. "Whatever broski." Rex said to him while he laughs.

"Well, well, well. Hello to you brother." Zain smirks at Omer who've been looking at him silently. Omer just moved his head to indicate that he acknowledges his elder brother even though he doesn't want to talk to him.

Zain cared less about his reaction and then begins to talk to the gentlemen, "Soon, I'm going to call Dean to come over. I need all of you to stay armed because this man can't be trusted. Any gunshot that fires from his side, the boy dies without hesitation. To keep this situation clean, we will behave ourselves as real men and handle this swiftly. Are we all clear on this gentlemen?"

All of the men who were present agreed with Zain's directive. Next thing, Zain began to pick up his phone from his pocket to give Dean an anonymous call. "I'm pretty sure your hormone got excited to hear my voice again Dean." Zain teases him the minute he recognized that Dean answered his call.

"Radebe. Can we just finish this once and for all?" Dean responded. Zain chuckles from hearing Dean's desperation however he eventually agreed with his suggestion.

"So what now?" Dean asked. "You will get a location pin anytime soon after this call. You better come alone or else you will endure more hell if you rebel. Personally I wouldn't want to take away the opportunity for you to be a father to your son but if you're matured, you know what my expectation from you. " Zain calmly said.

"Okay." Dean concluded the phone call.

Zain's crew officially prepare themselves to meet Dean and approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes later, Dean notifies Zain through call that he arrived. One of Zain's men went outside to fetch him from the searching spot. This was to ensure that Dean was not holding any weapon for this confrontational moment. The man finally found Dean and together they've entered the property to meet the rest of the men.

Omer was feeling uneasy to meet his friend under such circumstance. Dean looked at him with hatred from feeling betrayed by Omer's involvement in this. Rex and Zain looked at Dean without blinking their eyes as they supervise his appearance in front of them.

"Welcome Rikhado, please have a seat with us." Rex said. "I rather stand up." Dean gave an attitude to Rex which did not please Zain's eyes. "Another thing I don't tolerate is lack of manners Dean so sit the fuck down." Zain interjected.
Dean leaves out a sigh from listening to Zain and gave himself a seat.

All of the men sat down like it was a presidential meeting. Each men were served with a cigar and a glass of whisky. Dean was surprisingly served with it too. He did not dare touch either of them due to lack of trusting Zain's motive.

Zain lets that slide and then breaks the ice by saying, "Life has a funny way of teaching an arrogant basturd the importance of being humble to powerful people. You look defeated, broken and it seems like your spirit has been empty for some time." Rex scoffed Zain's statement in acknowledging who was it for. Dean was irritated by their attitude and had the guts to say, "Once you're done acting like high school divas, notify me  right now because my attention is only for one thing and not this chit chat.
