I wanted to make sure that I looked my best. I pulled out all of the stops for tonight. A long white and fancy dress with a slit that reached my upper thigh, letting my thick thigh escape through it. I purposefully crossed my legs, making sure to show more skin to drive Arrigo crazy. I had my wig straightened and laid flat against my head, my eyes smoky and dark to give me the look that I wanted.
It worked like I knew that it would. Arrigo was a sucker for skin and sexual advances and that's what I kept doing. I kept moving my feet below the table, rubbing my high heel against his crotch as I listened to him promise me a passionate night.
Arrigo had certainly pulled out all of the stops for this dinner. His large dining room was set up so lavishly and decadent with all sorts of food and candles; rose petals and sparkling wine, and all types of champagne.
If I hadn't known that he'd killed my family, I would

“Haibo, sisi, shesha! (Hurry up)” the Zulu taxi driver shouted at me as I struggled to get a hold of my suitcase so that I can get off the taxi. The other passengers watched on as I was the victim of the infamous Zulu driver verbal attacks about taking my own time to get off the taxi and how he had to get to Marabastad quickly.
When I entered the restaurant, I was taken away by the ambience of the room and the sophistication it held. There was this air of both opulence and relaxation. The fairy lights around the room created a romantic aura and the low lighting helped to set a bit of a romantic mood. There were round table and tiffany chairs around the restaurant with white linen table cloths and scented candles. The place was bare though and customers hadn’t been let in yet but a group of beautiful ladies were leaning against the bar. They cheered when they set their sight on my brot
I was enjoying staying at my brother’s home for many reasons but the main reason being, having a lot of space. Now, again, Jabu did buy a bigger family home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms but our family home was nothing compared to the five bedroom five bathroom home. The bathroom has so much space and not to mention the endless supply of food in Jabu’s kitchen. You would swear that he lived with an army of starved men, but it was just him alone.
I was praying so hard that my current situation was only a terrible dream. I was desperate to convince myself that I was still fast asleep in the bedroom I had deemed to be mine from the very first moment I walked through Jabu’s home. I tried to convince myself that at any moment, I would wake up and be back in the safety of my bed and warm blanket, and I’d call my mum and dad and tell them about what I had dreamt of. Yet no matter how many times I tried to convince myself that this was all some terrible dream, my worst fears of Jabu’s newfound wealth and success were prove
It feels like a lifetime has passed and I’ve been kept in this hellhole all by myself. I stopped trying to convince myself that this was all a dream what felt like an eternity ago. I had tried holding onto that belief for so long. For nights on end, I convinced myself that when I opened my eyes I would be back in the safety of my home. I was even convincing myself that I must have met up in an accident and I was now stuck in a coma and this was some bad dream that would ultimately lead me back to life but that wasn’t the case.
"Somebody help me!" I kept screaming as I kicked the boot repeatedly, trying to escape, "no! Please, help!" I sobbed hysterically, unable to get the image of my brother's lifeless body, blood pooled around it as they dragged me away and threw me into the boot no matter how much I fought and screamed but they lifted me like I weighed nothing.
