Anovel of the sold off orphan chapter 19

my heart shuttered as she entered the stage and told everyone to get out of her house , zakhele was about to walk in to the stage when her guards pointed their guns on him .

zakhele: what nonsense Is this mbalenhle?

Cooper: i thought I just told you zakhele all of your possessions are now mine! I told you zakhele I told you I was going to get back at you for killing my man and now I did , Lelam don't be scared baby come and join me , now he is a toothless dog .

I slowly closed my eyes letting the tears out and slowly opened them again walked towards the stage and zakhele turned and looked at me with red eyes, I avoided eye contact with him but he held my chin and made me look at him .

zakhele : *chuckle in disbelief* why?

I said nothing except let my tears steam down my face , he let go of me and covered his face with his hands , he was angry but more hurt than angry , he trusted me , he loved me and I love him too , he just stormed out pushing me out of the way going outside and i decided to follow him .

me : I'm sorry zakhele , she fooled me too ...

he stopped and turned to me with tears in his eyes.

zakhele: why are you following me out , you got what you wanted didn't you ?

me :*shakes my heard* no , I don't I even know what I want zakhele but it's not being away from you ...

zakhele : you betrayed me Lee , tell how exactly someone betrays someone they claim to love ?!

she shouted and I swallowed hard trying to touch him but he pushed me off him .

zakhele : I just need to know one thing , was any of it real ?

me: at first it wasn't but ...

zakhele : that's all I needed to know .

he said getting inside his car and drove away on high speed and I went on my knees and started crying out loud and I felt like my heart was being stabbed over , and over and over again and tears kept steaming down , why is my heart doing this to me I thought it was all a game to get him to sign and now why do I feel like this ?

I feel like a part of me just left my body and heart for good .

Cooper's guards helped me up back onto the house and I stood there deadly staring at her and had champagne in her hand sitting like she was some kinda queen.

me : you're not a cop trying to save us are you?you just a greedy old lady who manipulates and uses people , just a pathetic old woman.

Cooper : you define me so well and for that I have a suprise for you .

she clapped I heard heels moving on the tiles and turned to look only to see Kenneth, I grew angry I wanted to choke her to death .how dare she come before my face again?

me : what are you doing here?

Kenneth: I just came to check up on you baby , didn't you read the document?oops I forget you can read only a few words unlike uyazi and that's why I used you baby I knew you were always what I needed to fulfill my dreams.

so Kenneth has been behind it all this whole time , she told Cooper about me and how weak I was , I helped her after everything she did to me and my best friend .

me : where is uya?

Kenneth: I don't know probably dead .

“what do you think is next for Lee is this the end of her story?”
