Amina smiles to herself as he boss kneels down before her . The potion is working on him , she now has control over him but only for a few days . Now is the time for him to hand her over his money so that she may leave the country and come back rich with excuses . Her plan will work out perfectly well , if she sticks to it .
” Now I want you to get me 1milion rand from your account and you will bring it in cash to me ” she ordered
” In cash ma’am ? ” He asked standing up right with his hands crossed behind his back .
” Yes , you will give it to me nobody else but me ”
” Oky ma’am ”
“And wait … Before you go , pour me some juice please ”
” Will do so no ” he nodded his head .
Amina giggled , if this is how good it feels to control people then she might as well join Grace .

Manyika could smell the redolent aroma of carpenter . His favourite food, from the bedroom .
He enters the kitchen and finds his wife singing in halcyon , dishing out his breakfast . She has made Carpenter and Sadza .
” Sadza in the morning ” he questioned himself . If he eats it in the morning then what shall he eat the night .
” Morning my husband man ” Grace said rushing to her husband and gave him a kiss on his lips .
” Good morning to you too , for who are you cooking this nice food for ”
” It’s for a very special person ” she said
” Oh I didn’t know we have visitors ”
” Visitors , since when are you a visitor in this house ” she frowned
” Ohh is it for me ”
” Ofcause my love .you the only one who loves matemba and Sadza ”
” But why would you cook this now . What will I eat tonight ”
” You will eat this now and eat what’s in front of you tonight ” she winked a eye at him .
” Really ” he smiled at her moving closer to her .
” Yes but not now ” she said slightly pushing him away.
Grace sat down and told Manyika to sit down .
” This is special and kind of romantic ” he said sitting down .
” I know ryt ”
” MMM ”
” Anyways I have something to show you , that’s why I made this romantic and… ( She searched for a word to describe it ) anyways let’s leave it but yah I did all this because I want us to sit together and go through something ” she said .watering his hands .
” Oky , then what is it ” he said drying out his hands with a cloth .
” see this ” she said showing him her phone .

Luvuyo stares at the walls thinking but he is disturbed by a knock on the door .
” Come in ! ” He shouts .
He sighs as Buhle enters his office . Holding a plastic bag . And models her way to him . She smiles at him and pulls out a chair .
” Hello ” Buhle said placing the plastic on the table
” Hello Buhle ” he greets her back but with a cold look and no smile .
” Ummm how are you ”
” I am good and you ”
” Well that’s not what I hear ”
” The what do you hear ”
” I hear that .. you mad at Amanda and that you been acting towards her ”
” So where do you enter ?” He snapped .
” It’s creating this type of problem .. look You can’t mix business with pleasure . I know she doesn’t deserve you . You are a good man ” she said placing her hand on top of his .
Luvuyo gave her a careful look then , slowly removed his hand and stood up.
” You right she don’t . And I shouldn’t mix business with pleasure but why does she ”
” Luvuyo you are a handsome man and many woman would kill to have you , don’t waste your time on her just break up with her and move on ” she said
” I don’t know ” he replied coldly
” You do know just …’
Luvuyo interrupted him said ” oky Buhle I will think of what you said ”
” Thank you ” she smiled .
Luvuyo returned the half fainted smile then switched his focus back on his laptop .
” Ummm I bought you this food , I figured out that you would be hungry because I know you are mad and when men are mad they refuse to eat ”
Luvuyo smiled . ” Thank you Buhle . Thank you for being kind . I will eat it ” he said taking the food .
” Oky ”
” I will eat it once I am done here ”
” Oky then I will take my leave , and please eat it while it’s still warm ” she said getting up.

” Why do you want me to see what wife is looking good for me ” Manyika asked
” Do you want our kids to look ugly ? ” She asked
” But still I don’t understand . It’s not like I am going to Mary the wife to love her so why don’t you just choose the wife for me . I mean it is after all your idea ”
” I want us to choose a wife together , so that tomorrow you do not say ohh my wife brought me a ugly wife what ,what ”
” Grace , I don’t want to look for another wife. The plan is as follows . I will marry a wife that will give me kids then after giving me kids I will divorce her ryt ? ”
” Yes but don’t you want to make this enjoyable make it fun ”
Manyika sighed and got up .
” What is it ?” asked Grace .
” I am going out for some fresh air ” he said walking out the door .
***********************
” Buhle what are you doing here ” asked Amanda as she saw Buhle walking down the corridor on her way out of the building .
” Amanda ” Buhle said Turing around lithely as she heard her friend’s voice .
” Where are you leaving without saying hello or anything and what are you doing here ” she asked leaning in for a hug .
” Friend I didn’t want to disturb you . Anyways I came to see the man that made my girl angry to the point where she stood on top of tables twerking ” She laughed slightly punching her friends arm .
” Shhh not so loud , imagine someone hearing you say that . What did you go say to him Buhle , I know you . I hope you didn’t threaten him or anything like that ”
” I don’t know but I hope he will listen to me ”
” What did you do ?” Asked Amanda trying to keep her voice calm .
” Relax girl , I will see you later .I got things to do ” she said walking away . Leaving Amanda hanging .
Amanda knew what her friend was like . Buhle was that type of wanna be high English speaker who didn’t care about anything or anyone and said whatever she felt like saying . She is more like Tiffany Haddish’s character in Girls trip .
Amanda and Buhle ware best friends ever since the day they met at the club . They clicked so well , one would swear that they ware siblings. They did everything together ,went on outings ,dressed almost alike and made sure that their taste in everything is top notch .
Amanda turned around and back into her office forgetting the reason why she came out of her office in the first place. She had to give Luvuyo the interior designs that he demanded for .
She called out for Noxolo , she was not in the mood to fight with Luvuyo . If he had his moods or whatsoever he has to deal with it .
” Take this to Your boss ” ordered Amanda .
” Did you just call me here to deliver this to him ” asked Noxolo
” Are you seriously questioning me ?” Asked Amanda with a grim .
” Yes because as far as I am concerned we are both workers and my job as a clerk is to take calls and see who comes in and out not to be sent around like some maid ”
” Fine then , that is if you want to loose your job , get out of here Pathetic thing ” shouted Amanda and threw her file on the desk .
Noxolo braced herself as she stepped out of Amanda’s office . She did it . She stood up for herself against the bully Amanda is. She finally did it . She has been practicing for months on how to defeat Amanda and now she finally managed. It was not easy but she nailed it . Amanda is just one feisty woman that got her workers scared and disliking her .
But today Noxolo stood up for herself in the most assertive way and manner .
She smiled to herself as she made her way to her desk .
**********
Luvuyo sat in his chair drinking a brandy scotch . He needed it to clear his mind and maybe it will help open his mind more .
The woman he loves has just betrayed him with his own dear best friend . The picture of them kissing still resides in his mind like it belongs there . Had Buhle not recieved it while he was there , he would have probably married a snake or ended up with one if he was going to marry her anyway.
He really loved her , he thought he found the one. He thought he found a woman who will love him , for him and not his woman but it turns out that all woman are the same just like juice world said All girls are the same .
He obviously did not lie it was nothing but the naked truth. Ever since Luvuyo became the boss of his father’s company , being in a relationship has been the worst thing .
He took over his father’s business when he was 23 . And ever since then woman that he met did not love him , they only loved his money . The only woman who truely loved him was taken away from him. She was forced to get married to another man by her family and by no objection could she refuse because if she refused it meant that she would be choosing water over blood .
Trying to keep those thoughts of the photo out of his head .anger raised in him .why was he so unlucky in love , why was his love life a curse . Wasn’t money supposed to make everything easy . Maybe it’s better to be poor then rich .he thought to himself as he poured himself another glass .
What should he do now ? Should he confront the two backstabers ? Or should he just pretend to know nothing and return the hurt . But what could he possibly do to hurt the two back the same way they hurt him . No amount of revenge can change the way
