Nyezi Bhengu has built her career and life around being a wife. For years, her identity was tethered to her husband - as the "Real Housewife of Durban", "umfazi kaBafo", and "uNyezi kaSmiso". His sudden death upends Nyezi's life when, bound by isiko lokungenwa, she is forced to marry his older brother, Mnisi. Mnisiwokuhle Bhengu has a personality very few would describe as "lighting up a room". Reserved, and perpetually serious to the point of appearing cold, where Smiso was the life of the party, Mnisi is the brooding figure who leaves just as the fun begins. He wears detachment like armour, keeping himself unapproachable and at a distance from everyone - especially Nyezi. Forced into a union they're both less than glad to find themselves in, will forced proximity be enough to break down the walls Mnisi has so carefully constructed, or will tradition condemn them into a loveless arrangement they cannot escape?

She has spent her life in quiet endurance-holding herself together, keeping everyone else's world intact, and forgetting the woman she once was. But one night, with the house empty and the city alive, she steps into the world for herself. As her heart remembers what it feels like to live, she discovers that reclaiming herself may be the most dangerous and exhilarating journey of all.

Does it really have to be forever? Or can forever be altered?

He built a second family on her sweat and called it culture. She burned his kingdom to save her children. Beyond His Betrayal - because the tomb he made her couldn't hold her

"You promised you would never leave me" ~ Sequel to Phoenix: The Risen

LOVE ALONE IS NEVER ENOUGH.

They say a real man is judged by the size of his pockets. Well I disagree cause I've seen women married to rich men living miserable lives, I've seen slay queens dating rich guys who treated like them like rubbish and they stayed because of money so to me even if you work a 9 to 5 job and you can't afford to buy me a Brazilian and Peruvian hair, even if you can't afford to take me to the most expensive restaurant or to Dubai or even Durban or Cape Town I'll still love you. As long as I don't sleep hungry and you make me happy and try by all means to cater for me and you respect, love and you are honest and faithful to me then I'll treat you like a king. What I'm trying to say is there are still ladies out there who aren't moved by material things and once you have her make sure you never lose her because you'll watch from a distance as another man makes her happy while you are married to a gold digger.Remember glitter is not gold and the grass is not always green on the other side! Anyway walk with me on this journey as I take you through the life of a lady named Marang and her best friend Dineo as they tackle life's challenges and also finding true love.

Having already experienced enough pain in her life, it's no wonder Mia is skeptical about getting close to someone...especially someone like him.
