Lisa is a teenager who lived with her stepmom after her father died.

Lisa’s stepmom had a daughter outside her marriage (to Lisa’s dad) who was a year older than Lisa. Her stepmom and stepsister were very nice to Lisa when her father was alive. Problems and misery for Lisa only started after her father died.

Lisa and her father were very close. Lisa could talk to her father about anything. So Lisa’s stepmom, Sandra was very jealous because she did not have a very close relationship with her daughter. So Sandra decided to kill her husband Sfiso. Sandra was very happy to find out that Sfiso had a lot of money left. Mind you, Sandra’s daughter, Anny, wasn’t as clever as Lisa.

Lisa was overworked, enslaved and treated badly. Sandra would make Lisa wash, cook and clean while Anny did nothing. Lisa tried to speak to Sandra, apologise even if she did nothing wrong. Lisa lived a miserable life.

Her English teacher Mrs Zwane realised that Lisa’s marks had dropped she decided to go and speak to Sandra.

Little did she know that Sandra was the one abusing Lisa. One day Lisa was coming from school when she found an old man waiting for her in her room. The man had bought Lisa from Sandra to be his wife. This man raped Lisa. She got pregnant and was forced by Sandra to terminate the pregnancy.

After years of Lisa being abused she got a bursary and studied to become a pilot, she bought a house. She bought a car and was living her best life, Sandra went back to Lisa, apologised for the bad treatment, and asked Lisa to pay for her cancer medical bills. But Lisa didn’t help her.

Sandra died a slow painful death. Anny became a cleaner. Lisa got married to a poor man but later became rich. They had two girls and Lisa finally lived her happily ever after!
