Three years had passed since the birth of their beloved son. S’bu and Thandi seemed to be falling in love more and more everyday. With JC rating top in the country, S’bu had hired a second PI and now had a lot of time to spend with his family. They traveled and went out on regular basis, attracting attention everywhere they went. They had been together for a long time but still could not keep their hands off each other.
S’busiso Jobe, you have made me the happiest women on earth and I can’t imagine my life with anyone else, Thandi told him one night after making love.
Thandiswa Jobe, you are the love of my life and I also cannot imagine my life without you, he responded lovingly.
Go to sleep now, we have a long day tomorrow. Your sister, my best friend is getting married to my cousin, she said excited. Mandy and Bonga ha
Thandi, Mandy, Cindy and Jane were sitting on a sofa watching a movie. This had become their girls night tradition. They have been meeting every month to catch up for the past eight years now.Thandi, I can’t believe your husband did a background check on me! Cindy exclaimed.You are engaged to Tsepo and he is very protective of him, Thandi explained.You telling me!, he went through my finances, interviewed my family, extended family and colleagues. Now everyone thinks I am under investigation because I committed a crime, Cindy complained.I’m sorry friend, a lot of people have taken advantage of Tsepo’s kindness and S’bu has made it his mission to prevent it from ever happening again, Thandi explained.I know, he is very talented in attracting bloodsuckers. I
S’bu sat at the bar counter drinking one bottle of wine after another. He did not seem to be doing anything right these days. His Father and G were missing and now he was fighting with his wife. He drank some more trying to forget it all.Hi S’bu, a voice said.Oh Jane, S’bu said looking up then drinking his wine again.Tough day? she asked.You have no idea, he responded gulping his wine.Now that you are here, tell me what happened between you and my brother, he said.Because that whore you call a wife was not satisfied by having you, she just had to have both of you, she said, disgusted.Watch your tone, he warned her.
The following day, Thandi dropped Amahle at school and went back home. She did not feel like working at all. She could not find any reason for Jane to tell such a horrible lie about her and furious with S’bu for believing it. She felt like she was loosing her mind and needed to talk to someone but Mandy was not answering her calls and Cindy was away on her honeymoon.S’bu woke up in his old bedroom at Jobe home and decided to greet his Mother. He was too upset when he arrived last night and went straight to his old bedroom without talking to anyone. When he walked into the lounge, he found Mrs J , Mandy and Jane talking.S’busiso, why did you not tell me that your whore wife has something to do with my husband’s disappearance? Mrs J asked.S’bu gave Jane a cold
Thandi woke up exhausted. She has not been sleeping well for months now. She went over the past four months in her head over and over again. S’bu believed that she cheated on him with Menzi. He has disowned her and Sipho and has moved on with Jane. She had to accept that her marriage was over.Recently everything they owned was on the media. People were discussing how she was shamelessly staying in S’bu’s mansion and driving his cars even after he left her. She was called a whore and a gold digger among a lot other names. Having made her decision, she woke up and went to speak to Amahle.If you divorce him, will the court grant you my custody? Amahle asked worried.I don’t know sweetie but you are the only thing I will fight for, Thandi assured her and kissed her forehead.Thandi filled in the divor
Thandi was starting to feel better about her situation thinking that soon her bond with S’bu will be cut and she could move on with her life. She had already decided that she will be moving abroad and had started doing university applications for Amahle. Finding a job was a matter of sending one email for her as she has always had multiple job offers. She decided to wait and see which university accepts Amahle then she would accept a job in the same country.S’bu had just started with his work for the day when he received the call from a judge asking him how soon he wanted his divorce date to be. The judge had anticipated that S’bu would want his date as soon as possible and was willing to set it for the following day but was surprised to hear that S’bu had no intention of ever having that divorce hearing. After taking care of the divorce day and the lawyer issues, he decided to teach his wife a lesson.
The following day, S’bu arrived to tell Thandi to move out of the mansion. He wanted Jane and his biological child to be raised in that mansion. He painfully ignored Sipho who was very excited to see him, breaking Thandi’s heart.You can move into any of the other houses, he suggested.Thandi had no energy to argue with S’bu and decided to give him whatever he wanted. As long as she had her son and daughter, she did not care about anything else anymore.S’bu left Thandi to pack her stuff and could not help feeling like he was crossing a line, but he had already promised Jane the mansion and had to continue with the plan.Thandi, Amahle and Sipho walked into woman sanctuary. This was a secret location that provided sanctuary to abused woman and women who ne
Fifty kilometres from the city, S’bu and seventy armed Jobe man had an old factory surrounded. They were patiently waiting for Black Widow to give them a signal that the cameras were disabled. S’bu noticed a familiar figure walking towards them.Jobe, please forgive me, he said dropping on his knees.In a split second, S’bu fell backwards and pressed on his bleeding nose. Menzi had punched him very hard on his nose.Can you two do this later after we have rescued my brother, Zake said irritated.Now we are even, Menzi said, offering his hand to S’bu pulling him to his feet.Bother! S’bu said hugging him.Don’t stain my shirt with your blood, you idiot! exclai
Two weeks had passed and no one heard anything from Thandi. S’bu had moved back to the mansion hoping to feel closer to her and maybe get some clues on where she could have gone. He had gone to different television stations and on social media urging her to come back home or at least let him know that she was okay but there was no response.S’bu was starting to wonder if Thandi had managed to leave the country like she was planning to when he received a call from the highest court in the country informing him that it has received a divorce application. He was informed that the hearing will be held the following week. He didn’t know if he should celebrate or be sad. At least he now had a confirmation that Thandi was okay but if she approached the highest court in the country it meant that she was more determined than ever to divorce him.You have to forgive me baby, there is
S’bu and Thandi were inseparable from the day she was discharged from the hospital. They were spotted a multiple times walking holding hands, sharing ice cream at their favourite ice cream shop with their children. Thandi’s relationship with Dlamini and Jobe family had also improved.S’bu and Menzi’s relationship was even better than before. They literally spent every other day in each other’s homes just like they did growing up. Menzi brought Joy every time he came until her fear of marriage subsided after witnessing how in love S’bu and Thandi were after everything they went through. Thandi was happy to gain a new friend and they soon discovered that they had a lot in common. Their relationship made Mandy and Cindy uneasy as they felt that they were loosing Thandi to Joy and it didn’t help that they betrayed her.It’s
S’bu and his cousin were still sitting sitting down the hill when they heard a familiar voice.It’s good to know that you will actually mourn for me, it said.Thandi? S’bu said rubbing his eyes. Did he wish Thandi was there so much that he started imagining her talking to him?No, it’s my ghost, who-ooh, she said laughing, sitting next to him.Thandi, he called her name again, touching her face. You are here, he said kissing her.How is this possible? Sbu’s cousin asked, puzzled. We all saw your car exploding.When the truck knocked my car off the road, it was caught by those tree branches for few minutes before it started rolling down. I managed to get off in time and held on the tree but I lost my balance
The following day, Thandi went to see S’bu in his office. The JC staff were exceptionally friendly to her. It was well known that S’bu had transferred everything to her, including JC. It was also common knowledge that the judge had to authorise their salaries until the divorce process was completed. This meant that Thandi had the authority to hire and suspend anyone and might be responsible for signing off their salaries in the future.When Thandi reached the CEO’s floor, Sbu’s PA’s did not try to stop her. They were so friendly, they even offered her coffee.MaDlamini, it is great to see you, S’bu said lovingly.Don’t try to flatter me, she said sternly.I am just happy to see you, he said charmingly.I have made my decision about the research. I will come bac
S’bu drove Thandi and Amahle home. Thandi was silent all the way listening to Amahle venting about the journalists. When they got home, Amahle got off the car, leaving her parents behind.Is what the journalists said true about the research sponsor? Thandi asked without emotion.Yes, it is. Luke, the mentee left three months after you resigned. His report back stated that there was no progress on the research since you left. The sponsor decided that it made sense to pull off the sponsor and give it to whichever company you decide to work with, he explained.Okay, she said, opening the car door.Thandi, he called, holding her hand.Don’t touch me, you have no right, she said coldly and got off the car.
S’bu and Mr J were walking in the garden.Listen son, I know you are sorry and you want to fix things. These are my suggestions. You have to publicly apologise because you publicly hurt and humiliated her. You need to fix what you destroyed starting with her home you burnt down in the village. Thandi was never interested in your money, transferring everything you own in her name will not win you any points. You will get to her back by focusing on what she loves the most, that’s Sipho and Amahle. I know that you and Sipho are now inseparable. Now you have to win Amahle over as well. If you succeed, you will have your wife back.I have started building the house in the village, I am doing my best to make sure that it is exactly the way it was. It should be completed soon, S’bu said. Amahle hates me, I can see it in her eyes. I d
Thandi and Amahle were standing outside the court waiting for S’bu to come out with Sipho when Cindy and Tsepo approached them.Thandi, Tsepo said coming to hug her.I don’t think you should do that, your wife is not comfortable with me around you, Thandi said avoiding Tsepo’s hug.Seriously! Tsepo exclaimed, giving Cindy a cold look.I’m sorry, I believed Jane and said mean things to Thandi, Cindy said, ashamed.She is the only person that believed you when you were accused of being a blackmailer and you couldn’t return that favour, Tsepo said, disappointed.It’s okay,
