CHRISTOPHER

Punishing her was all I could do because honestly, Sbanisenkosi doesn't listen. She does things her own way and she doesn't listen to me mostly. She thinks I'm a toy or something that has to always listen to her. Eitherway I love her and I enjoyed punishing her as much as she did.

I still feel like we need to talk though, we haven't talked properly since she was a bit drunk yesterday so hopefully when I return, we'll talk. I'm currently at the office now and the board meeting just got out.

“Father wait..” I say as he stops on his tracks, I glare at Alex and nod. I feel like we should talk.

“I have work to do Nkanyezi, what's the problem?” He asks glaring at me. I fold my arms..

“What's happening with you? you're not your usual self.” I say, he sighs.

“I'm fine, I just have a lot on my mind and I don't want to talk about it.” He says, what is he on about?

“You can't even talk to your own wife about it? Dad we need to know what's happening so we can help you if we can.” Alex says, he keeps quiet and storms out.

“He's getting on my nerves now, he's acting so immature.” I say packing up my stuff.

“And you seem angry..” He says. I heave a sigh, I didn't think my relationship with Sbani could be this stressful.

“So we argued yesterday yeah? she wanted to move in with me and I turned her down because it's too early for us to move in together and we're still taking things slow. She just got angry and turned to alcohol..” I say.

“And you were fine when you were at the mansion.” He says, I shake my head.

“Sbanisenkosi has problems and If I can't handle them, who will? I'm trying not to be too angry because if I do, I'll do something I said I'll never do.” I say.

“Don't think of cheating, you know exsctly that relationships are like that. There's always gonna be fights and arguments. Handle them like adults..” He says.

“I tried talking to her yesterday but she decided to get drunk and not listen to me.” I say.

“So try again today to talk to her, don't give up as of yet bro. It's just something that can be fixed if you both talk.” He says.

“Let's go..” I say, we walk out of the boardroom and head to my office.

“She has an attitude and it annoys me at some point, if sbe expects me to listen to her then she must listen to me. 50/50..” I say.

“Ai, sort out your issues wth your person. As in like today, not tomorrow. ” He says, I nod.

“Let me check up on her, I just left without saying goodbye to her this morning and I feel kinda bad.” I say grabbing my phone and her picture pops up on my screen. I love her so much..

I dial her number and it rings for a while, hope she answers..

“Hi..” She says, I take a deep breath.

“Hi how are you?” I ask her, Alexander shakes his head and focuses on the files.

“I'm okay..” She says softly, I sigh.

“I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye in the morning. I was in a hurry to get to work.” I say.

“And you were upset, I understand. I'm at Luyanda's apartment right now, we don't know what's happening with her.” She says.

“Oh? is she sick or something?” I ask her.

“I think something happened but she refuses to tell us. She keeps on crying and not saying anything.” She says, eh..

“Ohh..maybe she'll be fine in a matter of time. Don't stress...” I say.

“Yeah maybe, I'm just worried and shocked at the fact that she's not telling us anything when we're obviously sisters.” She says.

“Just give her some time, she'll open up. We'll talk when I come back home, okay?” I say.

“Okay sharp keh..” She says, I hang up and place the phone down. I don't know but I'm not feeling her friends at all. I think they are a bit loose, judging by the way they behave and how they always chase after man. That girl, Mbali shoot her shot at me in the club thinking I was staring at her and I found that very weird.

“No I love you nyana? haa you're really upset with her.” He says, I sigh and sit back. I love her so much but she doesn't give the respect that I'm giving her. I feel like its 30/70 in this relationship and the 70% is covered by me.

MR BIYELA

I delete all of our conversations and block her too. I don't want anything to do with that girl. The only reason I did what I did was to teach her a lesson, I'm a 61 year old married man with children and she chooses to attempt to ruin it all for me? she's crazy. When she mentioned her age, I noticed I was 35 years older than her. I'm old enough to be her dad, her grandfather even but she had no shame in opening her legs for me? what's going on with these girls?

I only hurt her to teach her a lesson, she's still young and she should date someone who's her own age. She doesn't respect herself, she even accepted money I'm exchange of nudes. I wonder what kind of parents this girl has if she behaves this way.

I cannot ignore the fact that I cheated on my wife and I betrayed her, if she finds out then...I'm toast.

“Mr Biyela..” The new receptionist knocks on the door with the files I asked for. I'll keep myself busy with working so I don't have to think of that girl. She must have learnt her lesson now.

“Thank you, you may leave.” I say opening the files and reading them. She walks out and closes the door. Now I can't even face my wife and kids, I can't bring myself to tell them truth. My wife is gonna leave me and Nkanyiso? he's going to make sure he takes everything from me. I don't even want to talk about Nkanyezi, he's going to drag me on the N1 and let me walk on it naked. I know my sons and how I raised them.
