Sizwe 11 came and a whole army of black Mercedes drove in. I was standing by my patio and waiting in my silver grey suit and black shoes. A scary guy got out off the car and a whole army surrounded him. I walked to the liquor corner and poured whiskey. Ray: Mr Dhlomo, we finally meet. He smiles an evil smile and all the rumors iv heard about this family finally make sense. Me: Pleasure to have you in my home. What brings you all the way here? Ray: specifics Dhlomo... just specifics... he seats at one of my chairs. " you see Dhlomo rumors says you are losing it with your other half on the run, now here I am to make sure if the deal is still intact and the man that My dad trust with my inheritance is still clear headed? He looks right into my eyes and I feel like jelly. I sweat a bit. Me: All is good Ray. I don't let family affairs disturb me. He leans back and smile. Ray: Good, ill look for your wife and ill let you know once I find her. Me: Thank you that will be highly appreciated. Ray: oh no, I mean ill look for her and find her than keep her as a guest of cause so you can keep your end of the deal. He got up and put his hands in his pocket." If you want to see her or even touch her again, you need to make fast in cleaning that money. You have a week." He walked back to the car and left. In all my years iv been working with thugs, I must say this is the only thug that has ever made me shake. One thing came out of this my wife coming back. I called my team to let them start moving in getting the money cleaned.

Akani My phone rang. " excuse me" I moved to the passage. Secretary of defense: My information from a CI in Sizwe organization says Sizwe met up with one of the Denisovich sons. Me: That must be Ray. The other two are not too involved in this. Secretary of defense: Yes, he threatened him with his wife in order to have his money cleaned faster and it worked. Now tell me you making progress with the wife because if Ray finds her. She good as dead. I look at the smiling beautiful soul by the couch. Me: Give me two days and ill answer you. Secretary of defense: Okay fair enough, Khuzwayo don't let me regret trusting you. He hang up. I stood there and watched her for awhile and she looked my way and her smile froze. My mind was running wild with thoughts. I took my phone and called Zumbu. Me: You have 24 hours to find everything on the Denisovich cartel and more information on Ray. Zumbu: sho boss Me: Get a team of men you most certainly trust to be guard's and send them to my house ill brief them when I get there. Zumbu: sho boss Me: Get someone to go to Sizwe wife house and pack all her work and clothes and have them delivered and packed at my house. Get one of the girls to stay at her place just incase someone track her there so we know when they have made her. Zumbu: sho boss Me: sharp. I hang up and breathed. I hope what am doing will be beneficial. I walked to the room and enjoyed my time with family and they friends. We ate and had lots of fun. I noticed that she hardly drank and she was alert. Now how do I tell her that am taking her home with me and her chances of surviving are greater if she sticks with me.

Ray I left Sizwe place and went to the hotel and called my brother to have lunch with him. He agreed. Me: Tell Oscar I want that girl here by Friday. He disappeared. I sat down and watched the news thinking of all the things that iv had done in order to please my father so I can run this empire.

Salinda The girls are amazing. Iv fallen in love with the bound they have and how sweet they are.I go to the kitchen while everyone by the poolside drinking. I was going to clean up a bit since am not much of a drinker. I was busy washing dishes when I sensed someone behind me. I slowly turned and found Akani leaning by the door frame. Akani: Hi Me: Hi.. I turned and finished up my dishes. He came next to me and started wiping them. Me: Thanks. We did the chores together in silence. When I was done he held my hand. I snatched it out of him. Akani: Sorry, I know who you are. My mind just went crazy, I turned red and I couldn't breath for a minute as fear took over my whole body. He kept saying breathe and the more I tried the more it felt like I was being choked. Akani: Am not going to hurt you please breathe. He sounded so sincere and he was brushing my back and I was slowly breathing. When he saw I was getting a grip he poured a glass of water for me and I slowly drank that with my hands shaking. " just calm down, am really not going to hurt you." He looked straight into my eyes and somehow I believe him. And relaxed a bit. Me: Are you one of his men? I couldn't even say his name. Akani: No am not but I know he has hired the Russian mob to find you. That got me shaken again. Me: His going to kill me this time around, i know that he will. I don't know how but I felt tears running down my eyes as it hit me that am dead. Yes I take lessons but not to fight a Russian mob. He will chop me up and fed me to the dogs. My life is over. Akani: Calm down please. I was making the front of his shit wet with my tears. " I know we don't know each other but your chances of survival are better with me. You can move in to my place until this blows over" he had my face in between his palms. I looked at him all serious and his lips making me yearn things I have long lived to live without. My inside got all mushy and my Vijay got all moist. This man can make me yearn things with just a look. Just when I was about to answer Zindani walks in and I really tried to move out of his embrace but he wrapped his hand around my waist. Akani: We going to leave now Zee, when Mbali asks let her know that she at my place and give her my number to call me if she wants to speak to her friend at anytime. Zee was smiling like a retard Zindani: Sure, ill see you babe. She came and hugged me open the fridge and got more Ice. I walked out and got my bag and he held my waist as we walked to his car. He opened the front seat for me. Me: Thank you. He went to his side and we drove off in his Jaguar. Akani: I stay in Sandton. Don't be alarm, iv already alerted my guards am bringing someone over and took liberty of getting your things from your house to make the house more welcoming to you. Me: oh Thank you. Akani: Yes I took brought the gun you had next to your bedside table too just incase. I turned to look at him shocked. " look iv been following you for sometime, and no am not doing it for Sizwe but when I like someone I tend to try my best to know them first before introducing myself to them" he looked at me and some how that felt like half true. They is more and he is not sharing. Am I being stupid in risking my life and putting it in the hands of a stranger who might give me away to Sizwe in a silver platter? Or am I just being paranoid? Maybe this is God way of letting me know that he is still with me And am not alone. Maybe just maybe its time I fight back and believe in the Almighty just for once. I kept quiet as I prayed for this not to be a mistake and to come out of this alive.
