After 2 months Mr James and Nomsa were staying together in one’s of Mr James house in East London and Mr James gave Nomsa the butcher and a restaurant under her name.Nomsa was gaining her happiness in this 2 months because Mr James was everything she wanted.Sometimes she may think about Siyakudumisa because he was the first person to treat her the way Mr James treats her.Mr James and Nomsa would go on a shopping together and buy everything Nomsa wants.When she was with him she had everything because Mr James even bought her a car.

Nomsa was a hard working person so sometimes she may come home late and tired.”All I want is to get a warm bath and get to bed I’m so tired”she said.

“What I’m going to eat?”he asked.

“What are you talking about I’ve never cooked you know that I always bring food from my restaurant so here is it”she said.

“No I want you to cook”he said.

“But baby I’m tired you …”she said.

“I said cook I won’t eat this shit”he said kicking the table.

“what is happening with you?”asking Nomsa so scared.”I won’t repeat myself”he said slapping her.

“What was that about?”she asked crying.

“You are still here”he gave her a huge punch then fell and he kicked her while she’s on floor.Nomsa was crying for help but their house had sound proof so no one heard her.Mr James beated Nomsa till pulp then he went to bed.Nomsa slept on the floor on that night because her body was in pain.

The following day she didn’t go to work because of bruises on her face.She cooked his special meal and cleaned the whole house.She made sure that he won’t find an excuse to beat him again.When he arrived from work she took off his jacket then offered him a warm bath and a body massage.After that they had nice supper till he wanted a coffee.Nomsa broke a coffee mug while she was doing a coffee and that was the reason she got beaten again by Mr James.She didn’t want to leave him because Mr James has done everything for her but he left her with no choice because he beated her everyday.

Nomsa the house and went to stay on hotel but Mr James was after her. She didn’t want to go to police because Mr James was connected with many people who are in high places. One day she met him on this hotel.

“What are you doing here James”she asked.”Baby I’m sorry I won’t beat you again please come home”he said.

“You always say that James so I’m not coming”she said.James got angry and he punched her so hard and she fell down.People called police and James was arrested.

Mr James didn’t even spend a night there because of his connections.Nomsa knew that her life was in danger around Mr James so she decided to leave and left no trace in East London so she went to Cape Town.She sold her restaurant and her butcher shop.She didn’t want anything to do with Mr James because he disappointed her.Nomsa was talking with herself.”I wonder what is wrong with me.Why all my relationships are like this?Don’t I deserve to be happy like other girls.Maybe I don’t deserve happiness.Life is unfair when it comes to me”.All I want is to find happiness again and what do I get?”.

‘Have a nice flight mam’.

“Thank you”she said.
