After ten years of marriage, Mihlava Khoza walks away from a cheating, emotionally abusive husband , Left to rebuild her life at 33, she steps into a new job with nothing but a heavy heart and quiet determination to start her life over .
Enter Bongani Maluleke — her boss, yes... but also the kind of man who sees beyond the past. Kind. Confident. And dangerously attentive. What begins as a professional slowly unravels into something neither of them expected.
But as the fire between them burns hotter, Mihlava is forced to confront the shame her ex left behind — and ask herself if she can love again, without apology.
This is a story of heartbreak, healing, and second-chance love that waits when a woman chooses herself.

Bongani and Naledi I hope you raise the little girl with 💕 love. It's sad for both mother and child. Ntsako should change his ways and be a better uncle

Do not drink any medication as you are pregnant. Zweli was not there to remind you of preventing pill or injection 😜

He has money now , he can look for his daughter.
Ntsako should learn the hard way. He should go to jail without bail
