Keeya Modise has everything she ever dreamed of-a thriving career as a successful pediatrician, a beautiful home, and a life of purpose. Dedicated to healing children, she's a woman who believes in hard work, integrity, and family values. But her personal life has always been less than perfect, with her busy schedule leaving little time for romance.

That changes when she meets Mlungisi, a charming and mysterious businessman who sweeps her off her feet. Their relationship is passionate, and for the first time, Keeya feels like she's found someone who understands her demanding lifestyle. She believes she's finally found love, unaware that she's slowly stepping into a dangerous situation.

As their romance deepens, strange things start to happen-Mlungisi becomes increasingly secretive, taking phone calls late at night and canceling plans unexpectedly. Keeya's world is turned upside down when she stumbles upon a shocking truth: not only is she the other woman, but Mlungisi is also her long-lost cousin, separated from the family due to a dark past no one speaks about.

Shocked and betrayed, Keeya must now navigate the emotional wreckage of falling for a man who shares her blood while confronting the family secrets that have been buried for years. Can she forgive herself and rebuild her life, or will the revelation of being a side chick and the betrayal of her family tear her world apart?All Rights Reserved
