Ziyanda's POV

It's 05:39 in the morning and I didn't sleep a wink or a bit my eyes are puffy red and aching like no other my heart is numb but I have to get up and clean this house, prepare breakfast for Spoonchu and I, get ready for work which is my luck today I won't be checking in until later on today afternoon 15:00 hopefully I won't get to see Mr Bennett my rapist, bastard, stainer boss.

I decide to clean this house when I say clean I mean spring cleaning after I made breakfast for Zipho and lunchbox for school. I normally do that when I am stressing out over something I turn into this weirdo maniac tidy person who just can't bare to see a single feather nor ant near my space.

I do all house work and moving of things then head to the garden remove all the unnecessary dirt cut the lawn.

I just need everything to be clean spotless, stainless no single thing that's is unwanted or needed should be here just clean clean

Tears pouring form my eyes like rain involuntary hiccups after hiccup throbbing heart pain I feel just wanting the images of yesterday replaying in my head, wars blocked by the sounds of screams begging, leading to stop bruises on my face and body I feel helpless.

I  should quitjob but I can't I need that job as it's my ticket for meal for my family and degree I was studying at UNISA( University of South Africa) Education  graduating next year so I can't just quit I need that job I just have to keep away from Mr Bennett far away and I'll be good let bygones be bygones.

Incase you were wondering why I haven't presses charges against HIM yet? Well that would be not only stupid but also meaning I've dug out my grave and shot myself with gun I did some research about Alexander Brock Bennett aka Viper or as the call him underground and found out that he is more dangerous than one could think. So I don't have a death wish yet so I am just going to keep my head down shy away from HIM.

I finish all my work at home and bath head to the orphanage I normally go there and help out as being an orphan myself I understand what those little pumpkins go through.

See I lost my parents when I was 12 Spoonchu had been just in mama's womb at that time in an accident with me surviving without a scratch and my brother miraculous by doctors surgery was able to be born I named him Zipho as that's dad wanted to name him.

I was taken to orphanage since my relatives from mother's side were AWOL and my uncle from my dad's side was as cruel as they could be decide to strip us from everything dad had left for us his business, cars, house, assets everything and made it his and throw into a orphanage claiming were not related and blah blah blah blah. Luckily again they never separated us we grew there together with other kids until I turned 18 and became legally right to adopt Zipho, found a job, a place to stay finished school I made a vow to protect my brother with my all and continue to support the orphanage that took me in gave me food, support, education and wishing to open mine in the near coming future.

I got there and there was favourite person in the world well second no one tops Spoonchu, Lindsey she had been like my sister my big sister to me, when I came here she was one of the  oldest kid in the place 15 and me 12 she liked me and protected from the kids, played with me, taught me many things about almost everything she knew everything about anything I am not surprised she became a lawyer she always said she wanted justice to be served for the sake of her parents who were murdered serial in front of her eyes and the people who killed her parents got away with it due lack of evidence and file went missing or disappeared

Her parents were pretty big people with her father being a political leader and MEC at the time believed that their death was political related wars which I believe in my country two careers you should never choose 1. Being a taxi owner.
2. Be a political leader
You're screwed and boomed for life you won't sleep without your both eyes and ears open.

"Chickah!! You here? What a pleasant surprise!!!". Lindsey screams to me into a tight loving hug.

"Phhhh you're squeezing me hard Lindz". I tell her as she suffocate my already suffocated ribs.

"Psss chickah I've missed you too". She kisses my forehead playfully

"How have you been?"

" Holding up, I didn't know lawyers can get spare time to roam around now and there? ". I phase away from her avoiding contact with her changing the topic quickly play with the kid on the pram

" Well I do work with time and schedule if I'm not booked for anything sure I come here to be with the best people ever. And stop avoiding the topic you look horrible what's wrong Yanda, you know you can always talk to your big sister right?" She takes my hand for assurance.

"Yeah I'm fine really" I lie

"I love what Ms Jenkins has done with place honestly it's a lot improvement from back when we were staying here huh?".

"Yeah very". She says questioningly looking eyes.

Trust me Linda I know you're worried about me but I cant tell you cause I know you will try to get that bastard pay for what he has done but I can't risk that he'll kill you before you begin to try.

"What do we say we help the kids with craft with huh?" I ask her

"Yes teacher". She teases as I am studying to become a teacher

"Your honour" I tease her and we laugh I must say it feels good to laugh after so much that has happened damn this girl is good I almost forgot what has happened for a second and genuinely laughed
