While Candice is sleeping she receives a call and she answers it. “Who is this?”

“You don’t wanna know, but I have good news for you.” Says the unknown caller.

“Look, first you call me and disturb me in my sleep, and now you don’t want to tell me who you are, but you say you have good news for me? Your decoy won’t work with me, lady, anyway what do you want?” Candice asks.

“I am your friend now Candice. Do you know that Jafta is getting married?”

“What?! Married? Over my dead body. That will never happen while I’m still alive,” says Candice, jumping out of bed.

“I thought so,” says the unknown caller. “Well tomorrow is the wedding.”

“That’s so wonderful for them. Why are you telling me all this? What grudge do you have against them? Did Jafta play with you too?” Candice asks.

“He did more than just that, he got me fired at work and took my position in the company we work for together. After that I attacked him and stabbed him and I got arrested.” She says.

This now encourages Candice to hurt Jafta even more, since he’s so selfish. And with so many enemies Jafta has, no one would ever suspects Candice. Candice then makes a crucial call.

“Hey…” she whispers in her phone. “You may proceed, I want that woman dead tomorrow. They will be getting married, I will be there on their wedding and don’t you dare look at me there, just do what I pay you to do. I need you to be here in Durban, Michael so you don’t miss a thing. I will send you the details of the marriage location right now.”

“Yes Candice, I heard you clearly. And don’t worry, I’m a professional, so I don’t miss my target.” He explains.

“Good.” Candice then hangs up the phone immediately.

She goes to the wedding preparations. Everyone is shocked, especially Natasha and Jafta.

“Where have you been Candice?”Jafta bravely asks, since Natasha is too speechless to say anything.

“I have been to the Eastern Cape for my own holiday, and also to recover properly with family help.”

“Oh.” Jafta says, concerned.

Jafta calls Natasha to come and greet her friend so that they could get together again and be best friends.

“Come Natasha, we are waiting for you.”

Natasha then forces herself and bravely goes, although she doesn’t trust this new bond of theirs that’s about to happen. What if Candice has got a knife? Thinks Natasha.

She greets her. Candice hugs her and tells her that she mustn’t worry because she has forgiven her as her best friend. And that she won’t let a man get between them although they have had some fights. With such convincing words from Candice, Natasha cries and also she apologises for what she did.

“Where is Paula?” Candice asks.

“We don’t really know, he should’ve helped us yesterday but he didn’t come back.”

“What about Palisa? Has she reappeared?”

“No.” Say Jafta.

“Oh Paula, I feel sorry for him, but I guess he’ll be OK.” She says.
