The story of an ordinary girl living an ordinary life until secrets creep up from the grave changing her whole life

"Souls intertwined and hearts beating as one. When I met him I knew that I have found the one, regardless of how we were seen and what the people said... Our focus was on our love." ... A story of love, betrayal and deceit. A love so raw and forbidden. Take a quick dive as Simelokuhle a 15 years old girl falls in love with the notorious 24 years old gangster Siphephelo, it was never meant to happen but you know what they say. The heart wants what it wants.

Simeluthando Amelia Williams, a gentle and soft-spoken 21-year-old, finds herself forced into marriage with Kagiso Khumalo,a man known for his ruthlessness and cold heart. Can her quiet strength and tender spirit bring long-awaited tranquility to the Khumalo family? Will her kindness transform the merciless man she now calls husband, or will his darkness change her instead?

The story revolves around Amahle Khumalo, a strong-willed architect, and Bandile Zulu, a powerful mafia boss and taxi owner, who are forced into a traditional Zulu marriage by Amahle's father. Amahle struggles to assert her independence and modern values in a patriarchal society, while Bandile's controlling behavior and manipulation threaten to suffocate her. The narrative explores cultural identity, gender roles, and autonomy in a society bound by tradition.

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?
