Phiwokuhle's POV
I was still so consumed by what I was doing clearly caught up in my work ,I felt like some is watching me I raised my head up at the door and there he is leaning against the door frame holding a bouquet of flowers
Zweli sniffed the flowers and gave a very charming goofy look a smile curving on his lips
Zweli:"hey there"
I stood up from my chair with joy and went to cradle my arms around him
Me:"babyyyyyyyy"
Zweli:"haaaa umuntu mele ahambe njalo mayezo khunjulwa kanje "
Me:"I missed you much "

Zweli:"well it's important for the obsessed fans to see Mrs Zondo just to know who the are competing with "
Me:"I have never been to a soccer match before mostly because I prefer rugby over soccer"
Zweli:"why soccer is fun plus you can get VIP tickets baby "

Zweli:"okay ke fine "
We just carried on talking about the game and the dress code required for the game I packed my things and cancelled all my plans for the day ,I'm spending time with my man's
Zenande's POV
Its a new day the sun is shining and I am feeling happy today I get up from my bed and open the curtains
Today is the day I start my big case and boy am I feeling happy about that
Nkosiyabo went to the free state to check up on his companies no complaints on my side because for now we still spend time together we still hang out and we have been together for too long this past few weeks
I take my towel and head to my bathroom in the ensuite as usual while blasting my all times favourites by the best artists celion Dion ,Whitney Houston and Gerald Levert
These people heal my soul
I head out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body 'i will always love you ' by Whitney Houston is playing in the background my phone rang next to the bed it was a video call from my man
Me:"lover "
Him:"hey muntu wam"
Me:"Waze wangibiza kamnandi "
Him:"phela I don't want you to forget that you are mine just because I am gone "
Me:"never njani nje "
Him:"you belong to me and nobody else "
Me:"I love it when you this possessive"
Him:"to phrase it up you love everything about me "
Me:"I love the fact that you are in love with a lady from kwa Ndlovu"
Him:"phela mina my heart is owned by MaGatsheni,Boyabenyathi have a great day today all the best with your case "
Me:"babe you remembered that it is the first day of th case today"
Him:"what time is the press conference?"
Me:"about 12"
Him:"I will be screaming la efree state to the employees that that's my future wife right there on TV "
I just melt because of his words I blushed hiding the smirk with my hand
Me:"love I really want us to talk but I gotta go work nam ayangbiza ama thousand "
Him:"I love you "
Me:"I love you more "
I blow a kiss at him and hang up the call
I head to my walk in closet and take out my outfit that I am going to wear today for the press conference I finally decide on a black jumpsuit and heels

I check the time for the last time in the past hour ,take my bag and my keys to my Mercedes Benz sprinter and drive to Cape town magistrates court
I arrive at the venue and as expected a bunch of people carrying camera's paparazzi to say this is a very delicate case currently In south Africa and I am on the dangerous side
I am escorted by my personal bodyguard the one I use when I have cases like this nkosiyabo made me hire two more jus to be protected I stand out the veranda behind the pulpit and get ready for my speech
The press conference starts which is live nationwide a lot of people are watching me at home
"Morning ladies and gentlemen well to those of y'all that don't know who I am I am advocate ngubane currently handling the case of Sandile Dlamini
Who was charged with murder ,assault and partially if possible rape he is believed to have murdered Nolulama Dlamini his wife
I am the advocate on this case not the prosecutor mainly because I believe in that young man many people tend to judge a lot without actually knowing the truth u would like to say that choosing Mr dlaminis side was partially a choice to me because it hurts to lock an innocent person in jail mainly for something he didn't do
As a lawyer I live by a term phrased out clearly innocent until proven guilty and starting from today I am helping Mr dlamini prove his innocence that is all so I cant take no further questions now "
They all started speaking at once creating a fuss
I went inside the magistrate court to finalise the contract that I am under which law firm and I will be handling the case
My body guards escourted me to my car and I drove off to the pollsmoor prison where Sandile was being held
Eazy's POV
Yohhh my friend took on the biggest case which actually went viral on Instagram and Twitter one of the most talked about cases in south Africa
I believe in her that she can be able to handle this case if only she puts her sensitivity on the side and act tough then only can she win but at least this time she has nkosiyabo by her side
The video of the press conference went viral already tiktok , Instagram,Twitter it's there with a maximum of 15M views this is a case that has south Africa by their toes
Tomorrow the accused will have a press conference and right now I wonder who zee is going head on with I have been watching the video at home on my 32 inch platform TV
When the conference was over I went upstairs to my bathroom to start bathing since nqobizitha was going to be here anytime
I hurry upstairs still wearing my pyjamas and take a quick shower as soon as I was one dressing up after the shower there was a knock on the door I tied my weave in a lazy bun and rushed downstairs
I opem the door and he was wearing a navy NASA t-shirt Adidas shorts and Adidas push ins with redbat sick and a black bucket hat
I was wearing a green dress above the knees with a brown belt

Me:"hey come in"
I open the door wider for him to come into the house
Nqobi:"hey you have a very beautiful house "
Me:"well thanks nqobi I try "
Nqobi:"so should we start "
Me:"right away"
I led him to the patio outside where we were going to brainstorm what we would do together during this period
Nqobi:"tomorrow we could go to sanele's company or mine "
Me:"we could go to both more the experience "
Nqobi:"ok we'll add that on the list "
I was writing down the plans in case we forget a pen on my hand
Me:"would you like some juice ,water,wine ?"
Nqobi:"no whiskey"
Me:"really now you know what nevermind I'm jus going to make you some cranberry juice "
Nqobi:"so you gonna choose for me what am I a baby?"
Me:"if I don't you only gonna suggest stupid things like beer "
Nqobi:"okay okay I a joking juice is fine "
Me:"exactly well carry on drafting we might just start planning our presentation I will be back"
Nqobi:"okay "
I head inside the house using the kitchen door I prepare the refreshments and take a slice of the cake I bought yesterday I'm a fan of cakes don't judge luckily it was red velvet his favourite
I place it on a tray and serve him on the patio
Nqobi:"thanks "
Me:"you welcome"
I place the tray on the side and sip my juice while listening to his ideas nqobizitha is really gifted in science and he seems so in love with aerospace he speaks about it with so much passion
After 3 hours of planning and preparing we were finally done for the day
Nqobi:"well we are done for today I guess "
Me:"yep thank you very much "
Nqobi:"you actually welcome I think you need to stop thanking me take it as a favour from an old friend "
Me:"mmmhhhh I have to go cook now wanna come?"
I wonder why I said that it just slipped out of my mouth ....I looked at him his expression changed and he had a smirk on his face
Nqobi:"okay chef so what are we cooking ?"
Me:"you will see come let's go "
I pulled him to the direction of the kitchen he starts with taking out peppers and chopping them for me
I attempt to juggle three onions and he keeps taking videos at me and my failed attempts ,he helps cook the rice while I make the beef stew and salads
Nqobi:"it sounds so heavenly"
Me:"phela I am the chef nje mele kucace "
He just rolled his eyes at me
Nqobi:"how long do we have to wait now "
Me:"really just a few minutes and it will be cooked "
Nqobi:"in the meantime can you show me the direction back to your lounge I don't even want to start being lost in this mansion "

Me:"nada nop not at all you helped sure "
Him:"I deserve something though "
Me:"be grateful that you are about to have dinner with an influence which is me of course"
Him:"hahahaha don't make me laugh "
While having dinner we talked about different things from soccer to school and kids well he kept telling me about his future aspirations from now he truly has changed
After dinner we went to the lounge we sat on Opposite sides of the couch in the room laughing at YouTube videos ,Trevor Noah my stomach was in knots at least we are both into Trevor Noah

Me:"what lady ? Buhle is only to be fetched by me and sanele only "
Mrs S :"well she claimed to be her mother umm the name is lihle ntuli"
I gritted my teeth clearly in anger

Mrs S:"my apologies naledi I thought you knew they seemed lik they knew each other "

I knock once at the door and she opens the door with a huge smile her smile drops into a frown when she realises it me
Me:"hey unjani I am also good thanks "
Lihle:"no need to tell me I probably don't care "
Me:"well whatever who exactly gave you the right to fetch buhle from school ?"
Lihle:"and who died and made you the mother of buhle ?"
Me:"your relationship with sanele that's exactly what died"
Lihle:"Buhlebendalo is my child I carried her for nine months do you know the pain of giving birth to a child ohhh wait no you don't know "
Me:"sarcasm doesn't suit it just makes you duller than usual I don't care even if it was 13 months you failed buhle as a parent so don't start now making empty promises to her you just using the god damn child "
Lihle:"ohhh I see you finally got a taste of sanele's riches and now you want to play happy family "
Me:"wait don't you get tired of that line it's starting to bore me what dont you have a perfect family or happy family growing up ?"
Lihle:"don't you dare involve my family into this "
She pointed her finger at me I just scoffed
Me:"for your sake I hope you ain't pointing those R159 manicured nails at me "
Lihle:"I am and what exactly are you planning to do about it?"
Me:"yey don't pester me are we clear ?I didn't come here to join the Jerry springer show with you yangizwa the last thing I would do is fight for a man "
Lihle:"thought as much "
Me:"I don't know which hill you on top of but I would suggest you get down from it "
Lihle:"so you think you get to dictate everybody's life "
Me:"you have a life ?"
She gave me a confused look
Lihle:"yes I do and it involves buhle "
Me:"listen I have better thing to do with my precious time how about you go call my daughter because once I leave this yard without her I'm phoning sanele and you know how angry he can get 1. You not allowed to do what you did "
Lihle looked at me up and down and closed the door at my face I stood there because I knew she was going to call buhle
After several minutes she opened the door with buhle I took her bag and left them to say their goodbyes
Buhle hopped into the jeep wrangler
Buhle:"afternoon mommy "
