The room had a beautiful view, “Welcome to Sandton my angel. Come and admire the view because this will be your first and last time seeing this,” he said harshly. “You’ve been quiet since we got here my angel, is everything okay?” he asked mockingly.

“You won’t get away with this!” she said sobbing. He got so tired of her stubbornness. He pushed her onto the bed and started to sexually assault her. She was crying, she nearly lost her voice, she felt hopeless. This continued for the whole night.

“This is what I do to snitches, go and take a shower,” he said confidently. How many girls had he done this to? She could barely walk, she was hurt; but she dragged herself into the bathroom because she really felt dirty. She felt like drowning herself in the bathtub, she was not herself anymore. She thought of her granny and the reasons why she had come to Jozi. The idea of making her granny proud kept her alive, she needed to fight.

She spent so many hours in the bathroom, she was scared to go out.

“What is taking you so long love? Come on, I have been waiting for you,” he dragged her out. He started over again, she did not have strength to cry or to push him away; she let him do as he pleased.

Sikhulile was anxious, a day had passed, and he still had not found them. “He must have sent them away by now,” he said hopelessly. There, a message alert from Bricks came:

Looks like boss is still going to give you a hard time, Brick texted. He was so happy that Brick finally got back to him. He dialled his number.

“I… I am busy man, what do you want? The girls are getting their tattoos done already,” Brick said.

“Where are you, I want to talk to boss and it is urgent,” Siks said.

“He’s not around, he went to The Main House,” Brick said. The abducted girls were sold within the country, they did whatever they wanted with them.

Siks dropped the call and rushed there.

The security let him in easily, he was part of the family now. He went into the house rushing, “Where is the boss?” he asked.

“He’s upstairs with a new girl. They are having the time of their lives,” one of the girls said with a naughty smile. He quickly rushed there, when he was about to let himself in, the security hindered him.

“Please, I need to speak to him,” he begged, but there was no luck. He waited there on the stairs impatiently. He could not wait any longer, he went there and bribed the security to let him in, it worked.

“You know your ears and eyes remind me of my daughter. She was two years when I last saw her, guess it was my first and last time,” Bra Blade said while touching Sange’s ears. She was disgusted. She hated the fact that he had a child, but he was heartless; she pushed his hand away.

“Next time you need to be careful who you give your stinking attitude, bitch!” he said. “As I was saying, you remind me of-”

“Boss, we need to ta-” Sikhulile snapped, he could not finish his sentence and nearly fainted when he saw Sange laying in bed with the monster. Sange jumped out of bed and went to hug him, she was so happy to see him, she never thought she would touch him again. They hugged for a few minutes, until Sange came back to her senses.

“Wait, what did you mean when you said ‘boss’?” she asked. Siks took off his shirt and gave it to her to cover her body.

“I can explain” Siks said.

“How dare you barge into my room like that?” Bra Blade said furiously while pointing a gun at him.

“I am really sorry, but I need to tell you both something-” just before he finished, a bullet struck him on his left leg. His boss had just shot him. He fell on the floor. Sange did not know if she wanted to help him or not. It all made sense now, the matching tattoos, yes! Siks sold her out, he was the boy they were talking about back in the warehouse.

“I… I think this might be your daughter, Mr. Khuzwayo,” Siks mumbled in pain.

Tell us: Sange could be Bra Blade’s daughter. What are your thoughts?
