Thandi always knew she wasn't destined for greatness. She'd never be anything but someone's wife. Nothing would come of her life, so she submitted. She submitted to her father's wrath. Her aunt, however, wanted more for her niece. She knew that if her niece ever wanted to escape her brother, the chief, they needed to play him at his own game. Thandi's aunt knew if she ever wanted her niece to be free from her brother, she needed to keep him away from her for as long as she could. She knew her niece didn't have much of a choice in her future. The only way for Thandi to get some kind of control over her own life is getting married to the man of her choice before her father married her off to the highest bidder. Thandi and her aunt escaped their village to live in the city. They did everything in their power to keep the chief calm and distracted. The only way to do so was for her aunt to promise to teach her how to be a good traditional wife and, most importantly, stay a virgin. That was his biggest rule. Stay a virgin. One drunken mistake causes Thandi to lose her virginity, and her aunt knows the race is on. Either Thandi finds a man that she loves and is willing to submit to, or she marries one of her father's perverted friends. Will Thandi find her knight in shining armor, and if she does, will he be worth it?

Seeing my wife in the state she was in has to be the 2nd most painful thing to go through, the first being losing your little princess. I watched her sleeping peacefully, at least she was at peace and not thinking about what we are currently going through. I think the most painful thing about losing someone is that there's no warning, you don't get a chance to say a proper goodbye to them and there's no telling when you'll ever see them again. Death is a thief. - Melo Before my daughter came into the picture I used to drink and get really drunk. Alcohol has always been a coping mechanism f and my go-to for pretty much every emotion, be it happiness or sadness or even anger... it was always my go-to. But I stopped when I found out I was pregnant and only drank every now and then but never to get drunk. Losing my child has been hard, it's been a struggle I am yet to conquer, if how I also don't know. I've never been able to handle pain easily, for me reality strikes after some time... let's just say I react in a much later stage to pain or trauma. Yes, she was gone but I didn't want to accept it at first and I can't say that I've accepted it now because I haven't still but I'm taking it one day at a time... I've been drinking to ease the pain and not think about her or remember her but that's stupid because every part of this big house reminds me off her. It's been a month since her funeral and I've been drinking excessively. I'm not coping and neither is Melo. I cannot imagine us surviving this one. We just strangers who sleep on the same bed. She didn't deserve to die. She shouldn't have died. - Yaya

Yaya and Melo are back with their drama, things can only go down hill from here on before they can change for the better.
