CHAPTER 5
THE MASK PARTY.
Ayakho Mabuza
She was into glamorous things years back. Not now does she see anything beautiful in her eyes.
She was used to the moon sightseeing on late nights by her room window with her crazy mate.
Her mother hands her a sparkling diamond necklaces with a black silky princess dress and white heels not forgetting the golden butterfly short mask to dress for the business party they are attending as a family.
The Zulus will be there too.
So it's best in Mabuza's eyes to make the two meet before his last days on earth.
" Wear this up. We are already running late."
" For what exactly.?"
" It's a business party. Your father has to attend to alongside us as his family.
And a chance to meet your future husband."
She narrated and left her room as she was stunned to hear the meet and greet part.
Why does it have to be like this.?
For that she is getting married to him is fine but to show off in public is another big step she is not ready for.
Simosethu Zulu.
He stood at the corner of the wall. A small smile lifts his lips as he set eyes on Nkonzo.
He looks just like their mother.
It's a pity how Sphetheni made him turn against his own blood. To make him hate his own blood brother. His mother's seed.
Nkonzo is the only weakness he has in this world. He is staying in this house because of him. Because of the secrets around him. Because of the killings he made just to make this fool lives a happy life.
Including killing his own mother unaware.
That's how Sphetheni can manipulate a person.
Using him to do as she says.
Sphetheni took Nkonzo to keep Simo under her grip. So that he will be her toy when she needs someone 's existence removed from the earth surface.
That's the first secret keeping him around here, to be close to him and protect him at all cost.
There is more to the waters visible here.
" Son."
Andile behind him caught him looking. He quickly wiped off his smile as he faced his father.
" Are the cars ready.?"
" Yes."
He keeps his emotions hidden. His hands turked in his pockets as he looked face to face with his father.
" Mabuza and his family will be there."
Andile announced.
" Play it cool."
" I will father, but why do I have to marry his daughter.?"
Andile smiles.
" Let's talk about that one later. The party awaits us."
He really do want to know why is he getting married to a girl he knows nothing about.
He walks back to his room and grab the Face mask that was on the bed.
A black simple but beautiful mask that covered his half face leaving small holes for his eyes.

Richard Mabuza.
He tried in many ways to protect his legacy, God knows he did try.
But now things are out of hand. His wife's life along with his are threatened from the existence.
Having so much money is useless after all when you don't have teeth to bite.
But through forces and weapons he can find that one to protect the last of him.
That one being Simosethu to take a good care of his daughter if ever anything happens to him.
Years ago, his enemies tried to kill the only daughter he has. His only child on this world.
He was inbetween a knife under his throat and a gun point on his head.
Toxicity and civil was understatement at that hour.
The quickest plan was to make her look mad. Convinced the public and media that Ayakho went mad.
They took her to the mental institution planning to keep her there for years till she is ready for the world.
But little did they know that someone was sent to do investigation on her , and that they delivered.
If revenge is better served cold then what's making his body hot.?
After they found out that Ayakho is not mad, a threat was made that if he doesn't sign all his properties to the Russians. Then it's done for him.
The big mafias will kill him.
He thought like a skilled man that night taking his sweat out of his big belly .
Then he found out that the Russians are somehow scared of only one man.
Is he god.?
The devil.?
Judas or David.?
Maybe a man who beaten god for his blessings.
But they do fear him. His killing talent is what makes the world his territory.
Mageba.!
That's how they go familiar with him. The bulldog. The Mafia, the devil. And the cutest bitch you wouldn't want to be killed by.
Mabuza signed up all his properties under him including Ayakho and the fluffy dog he has back in his house.
Lord feel free to ascend from heavens.!
" I can't do this."
His baby girl is panicking. Yet he still holds her hands dragging her out of the car.
Ayakho stands firm trying hard not to show her fear
Her heart starts racing as the camera flash on her face.
" Miss Mabuza, are you really mad or you faked it for public figure. !"
Yay ya yay.! The paparazzi.!
" Rumours had it that you are marrying the scariest man in town. Is that why you are out of the mental institution.!"
She wants to faint .
But she is caught by her mother as they walk pass the media with no response.
" Did you announce to the whole world. Really father ?''
'' I have nothing to do with this."
