IF ONLY.....

CHAPTER 6

A WEEK LATER

Marang decided to go press charges against Mazwi and it has been chaos ever since, Cole then anonymously tipped off the police about Mazwi's whereabouts and he's since been arrested... The white cop whose daughter was killed by Mazwi can't wait for the case to go to trial, he's hell bend on making sure that Mazwi pays dearly, even if it's not to pay for killing his daughter but he's willing to settle for him paying for raping and causing bodily harm to Marang. As for Marang her life has being one roller coaster ride since then, others think she's lying while others believe her and Mazwi's mother, grandmother and baby mama/wife aren't making it easy, they have been painting Marang as being bitter that Mazwi chose his baby mama instead of her so now she's crying rape so it' been one hell of a week for her

Well with Dineo she has been ignoring Richard ever since, he called and texted and even went to her place but she just won't even give him a second to explain himself, she even threatened to get a restraining order against him if he doesn't back off and he decided to back off cause he's just not anyone he's a prince and a future king so bad publicity is not what he's looking for or else his parents will skin him alive....With Cole well he's been doing his best to be there for Marang but its been hard cause Vuyiswa went to social media and said things like Marang is a conniving, bitter and desperate bitch who sleeps with both Uncle and nephew and now that she's done with the nephew she's now on to the uncle, and you know how social media is and how people always believe what they read so they have been attacking Marang left right and center that she even had to delete all her social media accounts.

She knew pressing charges against Mazwi would turn her life into a living hell cause his parents are well off and she's just a nobody, she Regrets listening to Dineo and her inner consciousness cause things are bad and she's been telling Cole that it's best she moves back with Dineo cause they are also dragging his name in the mud for allowing Marang " to play him like this" but he just won't hear any of it. Anyway right now she's in the kitchen staring out of the window with her mind all over the place, she is thinking of going to the police station to drop the charges against Mazwi for peace to rein in her life but then everyone will truly believe Vuyiswa's lies about her that she's just bitter Mazwi left her for another girl that's why she's crying rape. On another hand her mother called her earlier today and she was spitting fire, she insulted her over the phone saying Mazwi's grandmother called her and threatened her. She didn't even wanna hear Marang's side of the story all she said was Marang better drop those charges if she knows what's good for her cause she won't suffer because of her selfishness.

She sniffs and wipes her tears with the back of her hand still staring out of the window, it's early in the morning. She stops moving when she feels a heavy feeling on her shoulders then she completely wipes her tears off and remains in that position.

"why are you crying?"

She just looks down.

"I'm asking you a question Marang"

"my...my mother called"

"and?"

"she...."

She sighs.

"she said some nasty words to me. She said Mazwi's grandmother Lindiwe called her and threatened her"

"what?"

He says frowning and he moves closer to her and he stands behind her leaning forward towering her with his buffed up body, she swallows hard as she feels goose bumps all over her body.

" She...she was furious and she also said I should drop...um drop the charges because she...she won't suffer because of me"

She stutters and Cole sighs then he boxes her inside his arms by holding the counter with both his hands and he leans closer to her ear.
