They said a Xhosan girl should be modest. Soft-spoken. Legs closed. Eyes lowered. Azania was none of those things at least not anymore. By the time she turned twenty-one, she had loved too hard, fucked too carelessly, and cried into too many tequila-soaked nights. Cape Town glittered like a promise, but it had teeth. And so did the men. Smooth talkers, old devils, Ghanaian heartbreakers, Nigerian charmers, each one left a mark, but none stayed. She gave her body, hoping someone might see her soul. No one did. But this isn't a story about regret. It's about freedom. About fire. About the way girls like Nia write their own damn rules, even if it means breaking themselves in the process. She didn't know it yet, but love, the real kind-was coming. Not in the way she expected. And not from who she thought. First, there would be pain. A beach. A betrayal. And a secret that could ruin it all. But this? This is how it began.
