The amount of information and deep secrets she had read in just the two chapters she read were overwhelming. It went as wide as uncovering what they did as well as some important deals their company- EEE group of companies did. She closed and looked at the manuscript and thought about Ludo. Where did she get all the information? she asked herself.

“So how was work mom?” Ludo asked Zamiwe. “Great my daughter,” Zamiwe smiled as she passed Joe a plate of veggies. “How about you dad? Business?” “So far, it's doing well,” Joe answered. “How was your day?” “It was fine. Boring for the most parts,” Ludo chuckled. “What did you do?” Zamiwe asked. “Nothing as usual. I just watched TV,” Ludo sighed. “I wanted to apologize for the way I talked to you two the other day.” “It’s okay sweetie, you apologized already. We saw the texts,” Zamiwe looked at Joe, smiling. “Yes baby, we saw them. And we are glad you felt bad about it. We weren’t upset with you; we were just worried,” Joe added. “I know. I’m sorry; it will never happen again.” Ludo and her parents were having an early supper. Zamiwe and Joe had discussed that they should be spending more time with their daughter. They were willing to put their differences aside for Ludo. They wanted to be

Jean admired Erica as she walked to him. As usual, she didn’t disappoint. She looked as beautiful as a rose. He was glad she was his, despite knowing what her family subjected her to. Jean kept telling himself that everything she did, she did for the good of all. He avoided dwelling too much on what she did because the last time he did, he cheated on her and was on the verge of leaving her.“Hey handsome,” Erica pecked him.“You look stunningly awesome,” Jean said holding her hand walking into Dil Restaurant.They were led to a table Jean reserved for their dinner.“Why this place?” Erica asked.“They offer the best Asian and Indian food,” Jean answered, assured of himself. “And you know I’m a sucker for Asian food.”“Yeah i know,” Erica said looking around.“Do you know anyone here?” Jean asked.“Not really.&rdqu

Ludo’s phone rang.She looked at it and looked at Hunter.“Cut the call!” He ordered her.“It’s my mother!” Ludo yelled.Hunter’s forehead formed furrows.“What do you want with me?” Ludo reached for the door handle.“Just sit. Will you?”Ludo stopped fidgeting and sunk in the seat.“How do you know the Hamuumbus?”“Are you the eldest son?” Ludo asked.“Don’t ask me questions, answer me.”“I don’t really know them I just met them a few days ago. Did they send you? Tell Elise that I’m taking the soft copy.”Hunter looked at Ludo irritated.“Wait…. You just killed Mr. Jabulani. That means she didn’t send you.“At least you can think,” Hunter said.Who are you? What do you want with me?” Ludo inquired.Hunter

Kate prepared Kent’s favorite meal. Last time she talked to him, he was happy at the prospects of finding a great writer. She made sure that she had everything ready. After being satisfied with what she had done, she took a bath and wore her beloved dress which she knew Kent loved. She went back in the kitchen and checked on the food warmers as if someone had entered to steal the food. She sat on the dining chair while busy looking at her phone. She had texted him earlier on and he said he was in the neighbourhood but it had been thirty minutes already. Knowing Kent, he had a tendency of talking to people especially when he reached the neighbourhood. She didn’t want to call him. She told herself to be patient. They had the whole night together.With all the work Kate had done, she was very tired. She got her sweater and rested her head on the dining table and fell asleep. An hour later, she woke up to no sign of Kent in the house.“Babe!” She ca

“How long will he be in the coma?” Kate asked the doctor.“It depends on his progress and the nature of the injury. In your husband’s case, there is a swelling in his brain. If the swelling recedes, we will try to lighten up the coma to see if he can come back and see what his level of function is,” the doctor responded.“But according to your experience doc, how long can this take?”“It can be a day, a week or months. Let’s just have faith.”Kate despaired.“Don’t worry too much. We are doing our best,” the doctor said and excused himself.Kate went to where Ludo and her parents had sat. She told them everything the doctor had told her. Joe was optimistic that Kent would wake up in no time. Ludo was quiet and lost in her thoughts.“Young lady escort me outside,” Zamiwe told Ludo after carefully observing her.“Me?” Ludo looked

Kate was by her husband’s bedside. She had cried enough and was already feeling weak. She was glad he was still alive but not knowing when he would wake up broke her heart. She didn’t have much sleep, neither did she eat anything. Zamiwe came into the room and told her that there was a policeman looking for her. She declined saying she couldn’t talk to him or anyone else seeking information at the moment. “I told you everything. Just tell him what I said. There is nothing more,” Kate said exhausted. “Are you sure?” Zamiwe asked. “Yes.” “Ok.” “Thanks Zamiwe.” Kate knew Kent’s attack was no ordinary attack. Ever since he got Ludo’s manuscript, things had changed in their lives. Even though Kent didn’t tell her much, she noticed how nervous he had been. She was determined to get to the bottom of whatever was happening, but how? That remained her big, still unanswered question. She paced around the room while looking at the unconsc

Hunter knew all too well that every decision comes with its consequences. He made a deal with the Patels' to get rid of Ludo but he didn’t hold his end of the bargain. Despite this, Hunter was no man to be intimidated by the Patels. As a matter of fact, they were out of the picture for him because he had finally got what he sought after; the manuscript. As soon as he got home, he printed the whole manuscript out, took it with him into his carnage backyard and treated himself to some reading. He never remembered when he had read like that but he was determined to finish reading the whole story that very day.Dawn came. Hunter had just finished reading. His eyes were even more darker than ever. He threw the manuscript on the floor disappointedly. Apparently, he didn't find what he was looking for.

Ben cooperated by being an informant and his sentence was reduced to 10 years. Grace was put in a mental hospital. After Mapulanga died, she somehow went crazy. “Ludo!” Melanie shouted at Ludo. Ludo went over to where Melanie was. She was with her husband and son. “Hey beautiful family,” said Ludo. “Congratulations to you Ludo” Melanie’s husband said. “Thanks Norton and thank you Melanie,” she hugged her. “You really helped us clear Hunter's name.” “No problem dear. Where is he by the way?” Melanie asked. “He never came to trial. Not even a single day. The moment he was released after that arrest, he went AWOL.” she said. “That’s Hunter for you,” Ludo replied with a smirk. “Anyways, We are going now.” Melanie

Driving a Land Rover Discovery at the speed of light, Naveen kept his eyes on the road while engaging Hunter. He wanted to know more but Hunter couldn’t tell him things he also wasn’t sure about.Immediately after putting a bullet into Devi’s neck, Naveen had pressured Hunter. “Who assassinated my old man?”Confused, looking at Devi’s lifeless body, Hunter had answered, “I told you before, it’s just a speculation.”“Tell me about it!” Naveen had yelled.“Come on man. It’s just a speculation. I know the man who pulled the trigger but the mastermind behind it is the one i am not sure of.”“Who pulled the trigger?”“Some guy named Stone.”“I don’t know anyone by that name. Why would he want my dad dead?”Hunter had gone quiet.“Hunter I am talking to you!” Naveen had pointed the gun at Hu

Unshaken, Hunter stepped towards Naveen and stood face to face with him. “I know you can kill me right here right now but i don’t have any beef with you Naveen. I have no problem with you or your family. I came here for Devi.“This is my house!” Naveen pushed him back.“And it so happened Devi is here. He almost killed an entire family in Chisoti village to get you that land. He didn’t succeed because of me.”This was news to Naveen, completely different from what he was told. “I don’t care what you tell me, you killed my father Hunter.”Irritated, Hunter said, “I didn’t kill him for crying out loud. I might know who did though.”When Naveen wanted to speak, they heard tires screeching outside and Hunter instantly figured it was Devi. Not minding Naveen in his way, he took off bumping him out of his way and found his way outside. He found two guards who seemed ready for h

Kate moved back and forth as she checked her watch. Where is he? She gritted her teeth. It was now getting dark and they had agreed to meet up but he was nowhere to be seen. She hated to be kept waiting.“Am i late?” Hunter asked, coming out behind her.“Yeah,” she answered annoyed. “Let’s get going. You’re riding in the trunk.”Hunter didn’t say anything. He walked round the car as she followed him. She watched him open the trunk, get into it and before she could close it, she said, “Have you heard anything from Ludo today?”“No,” he responded looking up. “I bet she’s fine. The less we hear from her, the safer she is.”“But i need to know where that Stone guy is.”“You will, let’s get going. You’re not the only one after someone.”She slammed the trunk in his face and walked back to the driver's door. Sh

She stood before the gate, looked at her watch: 18:41. She knocked again for the third time. The neighborhood was quiet. No one was in sight and that gave her chills but it was probably because of what she’d been through lately. Get ahold of yourself Ludo, she told herself.The gate squealed and Kate peeped. She saw Ludo and smiled. She widely opened it and before she could let her in, she looked around to be sure no one was around and then motioned her to enter.“I thought you were not going to show up,” Kate said as they walked to the door.“I keep my word Kate,” Ludo said.They entered the house and Kate offered Ludo a drink but she refused. There was some tension between the two women. Obviously, a lot had changed since they last met and they really needed to address the elephant in the room. Kate broke the awkward silence and asked Ludo about how she had been and how her parents were and if they were still together. They

Hunter sprinted after Stone. He saw him cross the busy road without fear. The cars hooted causing traffic on the road. Hunter ran past the cars sliding on top of the hood of one car. He could see Stone looking back as he ran and everytime he did, he increased his pace but Hunter was on him like a lion. Getting closer to him, Hunter grabbed Stone's shirt bringing him to a stop and they both fell in the middle of the road.Stone’s bag was laying on the road. Hunter slowly got up panting heavily. Stone looked at Hunter as if he knew him but didn’t say a word. He dived for his bag while Hunter jumped on but he rolled over and reached for the .44 Magnum Handgun and pointed it at Hunter.Hunter raised his hands in the air. Stone stepped back whilst looking around. In a flash, a soldier dived at Stone sending them both to the ground. Hunter stepped back and wanted to turn around when he was hit in the back with a plank; he almost fell.“Don’t mo

The previous night, after being shockingly stabbed by a machete, Ben was left gasping for air and bleeding heavily. How could he have underestimated that b****** Mapulanga? He cussed himself. He had never being this stupid. If only he could be given a chance to kill that fool, he would but looking at how things stood, he would be dead in a few minutes if the blood flow wouldn’t be contained. Damn, life flashed on his face. The k3 million wasn’t going to be spent. If Devi could play the game right, he would get it all. Screw Devi, he gasped for air even more. He was his bestfriend though. One only friend in crime. One chance, just a chance, he begged looking at the heavens.From the darkness appeared a man wearing a hood. Ben couldn’t see properly but he tried to speak. Words couldn’t leave his mouth. The man got closer and knelt before him, it was Hunter.“Jesus!” Ben spit some blood. “Not him not him.”“You&

Ben knelt before Walutanga and whispered, “This is not a personal vendetta, chap,” he started untying him.The three men got to where they were and stood looking at Ben untying Walu. He finished and turned to face them.“Where is Mapulanga?” he asked looking around.“He told us that you should take the boy to the palace in the evening,” one of the men answered.“What!” Ben yelled. “Who does he think he is? The agreement was that we meet here. He signs the papers and i hand the boy over to him. I have to get back to the city.”The three men looked at each other indifferent to what Ben was blabbering about. They had passed on the message and that was it. They told him that they had to go back. Ben was even more upset that he had to deal with Walutanga for at least another six hours. He calmed himself with the hope that it was only six hours and then their job would be done; he would be on hi

Walutanga cried his lungs out till he got tired. For the last few hours, He couldn’t see anything but could feel he was confined to a tiny space and he was in something that was moving. He remembered what happened before he blacked out.He was with Hunter and Ludo and Hunter was fighting the little man who seemed to get the better of him. He had woken up at a house with Ludo by his side who didn’t seem to be alive. He tried to wake her up but she wasn’t waking up till the little man came. Walutanga watched him admire the unconscious Ludo till he started undressing her. He couldn’t watch what the little man wanted to do with Ludo. He got up and fought him off throwing anything he could in the room at him. He dragged Ludo to his side and threatened the man that he would kill him. He knew he couldn’t but he was lucky when the other man came in the room.“What’s wrong Devi?” the other man, who happened to be Ben, had asked.
