Zenande's POV
We left sanele's house at about 18:00 and went back to nkosiyabo's crib
Nkosi:"home sweet home "
Me:"I am so tired like I am dog tired "
Nkosi:"me too I'm just gonna go shower just to refresh my body "
Me:"you do that while I just nap on the couch wake me up when you done maybe I'm gonna be refreshed too I need a power nap"
Nkosi:"okay "
Nkosiyabo went upstairs to get a bath while I went to the couch and dozed off
Nkosiyabo's POV
As soon as I had dressed up into my sweatpants after the shower I went downstairs and there she was lying on the sofa with her back facing the TV I couldnt help but drool at how beautiful she looked today and any other day I couldn't count the times I wanted to kiss her so bad today but held myself she looked so peaceful her lips partly closed I was still standing behind the sofa I went to the front of the couch and took off her heels
Her lips were partly closed her purse and phone next to her I picked her up bridal style and laid her on the bed not once did she wake up the entire time I walked up the stairs she's a heavy sleep I took a few pictures of her sleeping
The next day
My eyes were still closed when I took the phone that was ringing under my pillow I had slept in the guest bedroom nextdoor where zee was sleeping I checked the time and it was 08:00 my usual time the ringing had been my alarm
I rose up from the bed and went to brush my teeth and treated my wave it still looked new i went downstairs to make zenande breakfast ,bacon,eggs,sausages, fried tomatoes and beans
She finally woke up at about 10:00 o clock
Zee:"good morning"
I froze on my tracks when I saw wearing my white Nike t-shirt it fitted her perfectly she looked so sexy
Zee:"it's the tee right I couldnt find anything to wear plus your trackpants were too boyish "
Me:"it fits you so perfect "
Zee:"thank you it smells so nice in here you made breakfast??"
Me:"no I made lunch "
Sarcasm filled in my voice she just ignored me and took her seat around the table I placed the plate in front of her while I made Oats for myself and joined
Zee:"so I get to be fat and you don't ''
Me:"I thought girls love greasy foods "
Zee:"yes yes they do but not when they are eating it alone "
Me:"so what should we do wanna exchange ?"
Zee:"hell no "
Me:"zee I'm a bachelor the most wanted bachelor hell I might even be the sexiest ----"
Zenande burst out into laughter
Zee:"please please don't finished that sentence "
Me:"I'm offended "
Zee:"you should be you are not all that "
Me:"have you see all this ?"
I said that pointing to my packs I pulled my t-shirt up a bit revealing my packs
Zee:"yes yes I have and I am not at all impressed now lets pray "
Me:"so you just gonna leave me hanging like that no compliment nothing "
Zee:"let's leave that up to Jesus to decide "
We said grace and started eating
Me:"sooo I was thinking we could go to acrobranch Melrose I really want to take you there "
Zee:"umm I guess that's okay what time are we leaving?"
Me:"as soon as you done eating your fats and oils "
She giggled at me revealing there dimples
Zee:"what are we gonna do there ?"
Me:"adventure filled stuff "
Zee:" I have no outfit for that occasion "
Me:"we gonna pass by mall of Africa and buy clothes at cotton on "
Zee:"great idea mazwi "
Me:"now you can get going "
I went to the main bathroom downstairs to get a shower
We both finished at the same time and headed to mall of Africa
On the way zee kept taking pics of me driving which is cute we parked the car and went inside the mall I waited for her while she bought a bunch of clothes like she wasn't leaving today
Finally after 45 minutes she was done she picked the outfit she was going to wear for today I took pics of her and posted them on my Instagram story
in less than 15 minutes 75k people had already viewed the story some kept asking who is this new girl ?my previous relationship didn't go well but I never revealed the girl to the media she was the one that kept posting me gloating to be specific with zee I wanna show her to the rest of the world show her that she is gonna be mine but I don't wanna pressure her
Zee:"you posted me ?"
Me:"nope I didn't "
Zee:"nah Im pretty sure you did "
Me:"okay I did "
We placed all the things in the boot and went inside the car
We arrived at the acrobranch and zee was so excited
Zee:"are we here to zip line??"
Me:"yess "
Zee:"ohhh my goddddd I have always wanted to do this "
She engulfed me in a hug
Zee:"thank you mazwi"
Me:"you welcome dream girl "
She pulled out and looked at me in the eyes and kissed my cheek
Zee:"now lets go "
We booked and made reservations for 3 hours at the acrobranch and went to zip line and engage in different activities
3 hours later .....
Me:"goshh that was fun "
Zee:"I really enjoyed it i must come here with the girls one of these days "
Me:"and that's a long time coming since you live in Cape town "
Zee:"I've been so distant and they go on trips without me I'm always busy "
Me:"you should make time for them "
Zee:"I will but after the soccer players case people expect more for me and I wanna deliver "
Me:"so you willing to lose your best friends while trying to be a people pleaser "
She looked down
Me:"come on zee in life we all fail no matter how perfect you try to be you still going to trip but one thing I know is that you can get back up and still have a bright journey "
Zee:"thanks nkosiyabo mazwi ngcobo when did you become so wise "
Me:"you welcome zenande' ayize ngcobo after I lost you in high school "
She just rolled her eyes at me opened the door to the passenger seat
We went to the house to pack our clothes and go to the airport
The private jet was already waiting for us we went in and cuddled on the sofa zee laying on my lap while I was still on my phone I got a call from the sphesihle
Sphesihle:"Pitbull "
Me:"hey I'm with zenande' wassup ?"
Sphesihle:"well we have a problem "
Me:"yeah what is it "
Sphesihle :"the black skulls are back"
Me:"fuckkkkkkkk since when"
I gently removed zenande' and laid her in the couch I stood up and locked my self in the toilet
Me:"talk "
Sphesihle:"I don't know but it gets worse "
Me:"what is it do I have to guess or something just spit it out "
Sphesihle:"they copied the universal code "
Me:"what howww ????"
Sphesihle:"they have a new hacker and he /she hacked into thembas email which made them have access to the files being accessed into thembas second account"
Me:"how sure are we they not bugging this call "
Sphesihle:"it's risky but I had to tell you so you need to come to Joburg "
Me:"I'm already on the way out of Johannesburg"
Sphesihle:"if not that the what do we do "
Me:"do you know the name of the hacker ?"
Sphesihle:"there's two the other one is an accomplice this one is seeking vengeance I'm sure you would like to know "
Me:"yess who is it "
Sphesihle:"Andile Makhanya"
Me:"what you telling me he's the fucker behind all of this ?"
Sphesihle:"yess "
Me:"listen I'm going to call you later the jet is going to land now "
I went back to the couch and tied the seatbelt and helped zenande' I woke up when we had landed
Me:"yize"
Zee:"mmm..."
She kept mumbling in her sleep I shook her up
Me:"yize wake up "
Still she isn't waking up I picked her up and laid her head on my shoulders her legs wrapped around my waist I stepped out of the jet with a heavy zenande' in my arms but since its her I don't mind
I placed her zenande' in the back seat of my Audi A8
And I drove off while playing love jamz I really miss zenande' now she would be cheering me up telling me crazy jokes and playing the most cliche songs she's right behind me but I miss her
I parked infront of her door and got off the car to carry her inside the house I turned the key to her mansion it was already 19:00 so her house keeper was already gone I went to lay her down on her bed and wrote her a note
I locked the door from outside since I knew she had a spare key I went back to my car and drove to my house in Clifton
When I arrived home I called the guys we have big problems to worry about
Conference call...

Themba's POV
I am themba kwanele mkhize 26 years of age AKA as butcher I am one of nkosiyabo's friends
I am a taxi owner and own the biggest construction company In Gauteng Im in between places but most of the time I'm in Joburg
Meyersdale eco estate in Alberto
I have been following senzo for the past four hours I made sure to keep a distance Fortunately he is with Andile it must be my lucky day this has to be a clean job I followed them till they stopped at a TV set
They both got off the car and headed inside conversing with the security guard first and the old guard let them in I waited for them to enter the building then I headed out to the guard
Me:"good morning"
Guard:"morning who are you are you a friend of mbali's"
Great he just gave me the name of the lady they are here to see
Me:"I'm actually her boyfriend"
Guard :"mbali has a boyfriend I didn't know that "
Me:"look madala I would really love answering your questions but paparazzi could be here anytime and as you said you didn't know we dating we don't want people to know or see"
The guard carefull examined me suspiciously
Guard:"you can come in sir"
Gosh what have I done maybe this mbali is so ugly I definitely don't want the media thinking otherwise
I parked close to the entrance just in case of an easy escape I went to the lady in the front who was leaving already
Me:"hey umm where is mbalenhle's room ?"
Her:"ohhh um just look for B24"
Me:'thanks have a great day "
I flashed a smile at her and she blushed and looked down perks of being handsome
I walked along the corridors looking for B24 I found it and slowly opened the door and there they were the two suckers I did my scary confidence walk walking in the room
Me:"hello boys long time no see Andile "
A gun In my hand
Andile:"themba what a pleasant surprise"
Me:"indeed it is surprise!!"
Andile:"how can I help you ?"
Me:"oh shut the fuck up you know exactly what I want so how about you stop wasting all of our time including your ancestors who are waiting for you in heaven that is if Satan Also dosent want to you "
Senzo kept quiet the whole time clearly shaken
Andile:"ohhh come on I know you not going to pull that trigger you need me plus if you kill me that means war between the spades and skulls "
I just hysterically laughed while point a gun at him
Me:"ohhh you poor bitch you honestly think they had intentions of making you part of the crew you know for a hacker y'all are both stupid "
Senzo:"what are you talking about ?"
Me:"ohhh finally the wimp can talk "
Andile:"says you the sidekick "
Me:"sidekick? Is that it listen your opinions about me I give 0 fucks about you hear me so stop wasting my time and give me the chip I don't do chit chats "
Andile:"over my dead body "
Me:"ohh that can be arranged "
I shot him 3 times in his stomach making sure I don't miss the heart
Me:"I have always wanted to do that"
Senzo was so shaken
Me:"so you ready to talk ?"
Senzo:"I don't know what you talking about ?"
Me:"umm are you going to talk or do we wait for mbali and I kill you both"
Poor sucker was begging
Senzo:"no please don't she has nothing to do with this"
Me:"well talk "
Senzo:"okay so machine gun hired the both of us to hack someone since he had heard we good at what we do he knew how much Andile hated y'all so he used that and upped our price we were meant to first hack your best IT partner then access some files in his second document when we accessed we realised it had more information than anticipated so we kept some for ourselves and divided the copies we got greedy it was all Andile's plan he was planning to use that against Pitbull"
Machine gun was the leader of the black skulls our mortal enemy
I shot him on his arm and neck he had given me more information than anticipated
Mbalenhle POV
I arrived at the set and stopped by the gate to talk to bab umhlongo our security guard
Bab:"sawbona ndodakazi"
Me:"yebo bab ninjani"
I had too much respect for this guy in just a few weeks being here
Bab:"sezifikile izivakashi zakho Kanye ne soka lakho ngiqale ngamungabaza'
I was so confused because I had no boyfriend maybe he is talking about senzo
That guy likes lying so he pretended to be my boyfriend smh
I wished bab mhlongo a good day then went to park my car next to senzo's car
I was just about to open the door when I heard gunshots my heart started beating fast I tried to eavesdrop in the conversation and heard other gunshots I peeped through the half closed door and the killer turned around as soon as our eyes met I shrieked and ran for my life I heard footstep stomping behind me and other gunshots I quickly ran to the storage room
I sat there quietly praying for my life after several minutes I heard sirens police sirens
I quickly ran to the scene and saw Andile and senzo laying in a pool of their own blood
I wailed loudly the paramedics quicky came and pulled both my hands preventing me from touching them Andile was like a brother to me so was senzo
Me:"senzoooooooooo andileeeeeee wake up nooooo don't leave me "
Paramedic:"I'm sorry but you have to get out of here this is a crime scene"
Me:"please hurry up let's take them to the hospital they gonna die "
Paramedic:"ma'am please just let us do our job "
I stood up from the floor where I was silently crying while the police kept watch
Police:"ma'am I am detective buthelezi the officer in charge of this case is there anything that you can tell us about what happened here "
I just bluntly stared at him
Buthelezi:"it's okay when you ready you can tell us "
I took my phone and called naledi
Naledi's POV
Its a Monday morning and I was just done with a client when my phone rang from my coat
Mbalenhle's name flashed on the screen I smiled to myself because I had missed her so much
Me:"phakade lam"
Mbali just went silent I heard sniffing in the background and she just wailed I started panicking
Me:"mbali .mbali what's wrong what happened please talk to me "
Mbali:"he....they .. them"
I was confused what was she on about
Me:"where are you ?"
Mbali:"on the way to the ..........hospital"
He voice kept breaking as she was talking
Me:"which hospital?"
Mbali:"net......."
Me:"mbali who are you with just give a person nearby you to explain to me what is going on"
I heard police sirens in the background
Mbali:"Baba umhlongo cela ungphendulela"
Bab:"halooo"
Me:"yebo sawbona Baba mina ngu naledi mngani ka mbali cela ungichazela ukuthu kwenzakalani"
He explained everything to me that he knew leaving me dumbstruck my knees felt weak instantly I held the table for balance and sat down
Me:"I will be there "
I quickly cancelled all my meetings with clients I took the keys and went to my Mercedes Benz c class and drove off to netcare hospital on the way I called the girls and informed them
I arrived at the hospital and mbali was sitting on the benches I gave the coffee I had brought her she just hugged me and cried her shirt filled with blood
Mbali:"I failed him I failed naleee I should have helped him be his guide he wouldn't have resorted to crime "
Crime? What is she talking about
Mbali:"he is like my little brother both of them "
All the girls were right with senzo and andile but zenande' was the one that was close with Andile the most she knew Andile had a crush on her but she played it cool
Me:"relax everything is gonna be okay let's pray for them have you told their parents "
Mbali:"no I'm still waiting for an update from the doctor I'm scared I don't know what to say "
Me:" you really have to tell them the news are already on the media it's best you tell them before --"
Before I could say anything the doctor appeared mbali quicky rose up and went to the doctor
Me:"doctor how are they is it good? "
We looked at the doctor mbali tightly holding my hands the doctor looked at us with pity
Doc:"well senzo suffered an inflicted gunshot wound in the neck which damaged his brain and transfusion throuugh his blood vessels we still doing the best we can the chances of him living are close to 10% especially since he lost a lot of blood"
Mbali:"and.and Andile the guy he came in with ?"
Doc:"umm the doctor in charge will come and update you "
Me:"come on mbali let's sit down "
Mbali:"do you think he's gonna survive naleediiiiiii I...I..I.. can't lose himmmm"
She sobbed in my arms the female doctor came to us
Doc:"umm Andile Makhanya "
Mbali:"thats us doctor "
Doc:"I'm sorry but who are you to him ?"
Mbali:"I'm his sister "
Doc:"hooooo okay "
The doctor heavily sighed and looked at both of us with a sad expression and shook her head
What's up with them shaking their head ??smh
Doc:"I'm sorry we did the best we could but he didn't make it "
Mbali:"no no no no no noooooo "
Mbali slid down on the floor and cried, wailed
Doc:"would you like to see him? we need somebody to cover his body "
Me:"we will do it it's okay "
Tears rolled down my cheeks I'm trying to be strong for naledi we can't both be weak she needs somebody by her side
Doc:"please follow me"
I gently helped mbali off the floor I held her hand and we followed the doctor she looked so broken she cried louder when she saw Andile laying there lifeless on the hospital bed
Mbali:"I'm so sorry may you rest in peace dear friend "
Mbali leaned and kissed him on his forehead and covered his face for the last time with the blanket as a sign that he was no more
Mbali:"I need to call his family how am I ever gonna look at his mother in the eyes knowing he died waiting to see me "
Me:"don't blame yourself his time had come mbali "
Mbali:"I failed him naledi "
Me:"no you didn't it's god's plan "
Mbali:"I need to be alone please come tomorrow and please inform zenande' about Andile you know how close they were "
Me:"okay I love you "
She just looked at me and went out leaving me alone in the room
...................................................................................
Rest in peace 🙏 Andile Makhanya
Let's hope senzo will survive
