Milani woke up to the beautiful sounds of the chirping birds outside, It has been days since she was troubled by her husband, Ken. The door opened and Milani sat upright looking at the tall, handsome but troublesome man. Her face turned sour she rolled her eyes in disgust.

Ken:I am so pleased to see you my love.

Milani just kept quite as she wanted the earth to open and swallow her, This man was going to destroy her peace that she had struggled to maintain for years. Ken walked towards the bed, and he took off his shoes as he sat next to Milani and looking into her beautiful ocean eyes.

Ken:(Grinning) You know my love I am running out of patience. Won't you greet your husband just for this once?

Milani: Babe I missed you already. How was London?

Only the heavens knew that Milani was lying,, and she wanted to kill this man.

Ken: I also missed you too and tonight I need you to be my partner.

Milani:I will do that my love.

Ken: So look your best tonight okay! I will send some clothes, shoes and jewelry for you later on.

Ken walked out of the room and Milani sighed as she thought about her terrible condition , She didn't only have to deal with Ken but the whole Scott family that was after her. Milani 's phone buzzed nonstop as she was in deep thoughts and she took a look at it and she noticed that she had been 10 minutes late for work, All she could ever think of was going to work with all the tension she had but she had no other choice.

The bucket club

Ken looked at all those girls that were in the club and some of the seemed too better than that old hag called Milani. He was stuck with her while his friends were all having with these pretty girls but it wouldn't hurt if he hooked up with one girl. Ken enjoyed his drink while he had a chat with his old pals.

Ken: Life sucks especially now that I am stuck with that old woman.

Jason:Well atleast you have someone to support your reputation.

Dan: But Ken buddy you can be like me and you can enjoy being a free man.

Ken : Well that's easy for you to say because your family doesn't control your life and you do not have a reputation to keep.

Dan: Your life sucks buddy.

Ken:And it's Milani's fault that I am stuck in this situation.

Jason: Enough about your life Ken let's call up Casey here.

Dlamini holdings

Milani yawned and she kept on rubbing her eyes as her best friend Loraine was telling her some business ideas.

Loraine: Well we could expand this business further more into Africa and we could use labour from China because it is much cheaper.

Milani:(yawning) I like your ideas, and using cheap labour can save us some money and time and maybe in the future we could expand into other European countries .

Loraine: But you look tired , Lets go cafe so that we can grab a coffee.

Milani:( yawning) let's go friend.

Milani and Loraine grabbed their bags and keys and Loraine drove them to the Cafe.

Loraine: I am so happy that we came here, I saw that something was deeply troubling you.

Milani sighed and she started tearing up.

Loraine: What's wrong Milani?

Milani: The fact is that Ken is back and my life is about to get teared apart.

Loraine: I am so sorry to hear that friend.

Milani: I just wish as if my husband John was alive maybe things could have been much better,and I couldn't have married his brother Ken.

Milani wiped her tears and Loraine stood up so that she could help her friend stand up and so that she could take her home.

Milani and Ken's house.

Loraine and Milani sat on the couch while they were watching a crime thriller, the door opened and Ken got in with his friends.

Ken : Who is this hot chick you have got with you baby?

Ken' s friends laughed and Milani' s rage got stronger as she stood up.

Milani: last time I checked there was no joker in here, And you Ken it's not my fault that your parents didn't teach you how to treat a woman in a great way.

Loraine got up and she comforted her friend and Ken whispered to his friends and they left and Ken went upstairs.

Milani' s fear got up as she thought of Ken beating her infront of Loraine so she sent Loraine away and she sat all by herself, Waiting for Ken to beat her into a pulp.

Things seemed to be going unwell for Milani as fear was now paralyzing her body like a disease, The fear of Ken beating her up and taking advantage of her. The last time she got beaten by Ken she lost her first child from her late husband. Milani heard some banging on the door that disturbed her troubled mind. The last thing she wanted right now was to have the Scott family making things worse for her. Milani walked slowly and carefully towards the door, and she opened it, but to her relief it was some delivery man.

Delivery Man: Are you Milani Scott?

Milani:( licking her dry lips) Umm, Yes.

Delivery Man: How are you related to Mr Scott?

Milani: He is my husband.

Milani said while showing her ring to the delivery man,the delivery man handed Milani her package and some documents that she needed to sign.Milani signed the documents and she handed them to the delivery man and she got in the house. She went to the kitchen where she saw Ken sitting on top of the kitchen counter, Milani cleared her throat as fear slowly crept in her.

Ken: Scared aren't you?

Milani kept quite and she looked at Ken as she wanted to kill him.

Ken:Well you see that package that you have got there?

Milani: Hmmm.

Ken: Well that's the things that you need to wear tonight so you better go upstairs and prepare yourself.

Milani: Ken, Can I talk to you about something really important?

Ken:(Shouting) There is nothing to talk about here, So go upstairs and prepare yourself. You know what you did earlier on and I am being kind enough by not taking my revenge.

Milani went upstairs and she did all her necessities and she wore all the things Ken got for her. Ken walked in the room and he found Milani looking at herself in the mirror.

Ken: Looking pretty wifey.

Milani: As if you care.

Ken walked towards Milani and he touched Milani 's hips and he kissed her cheek.

Milani: I have to grab a drink.

Ken let go of Milani' s hips and he prepared himself and Milani went to the kitchen and she called Loraine.

Loraine: Hey friend.

Milani: Well I hate this situation that I am in. I mean that monster placed his hands on my hips and he kissed my cheek.

Loraine: Did he hurt you?

Milani: No, but he just acted as nothing happened but he threatened me.

Loraine:He is a psychopath.

Milani: Well enough about me, Where's your little girl.

Loraine: She is fine but she misses her other mom.

Milani: Ncoow! Well her other mom misses her too.

Loraine: Maybe tommorow we could have a mothers and daughter date.

Milani: That's a great idea, I think I should clear my schedule so that I can come to see you guys.

Loraine: I have to go so goodbye.

The call ended and Milani had a deep voice behind her back.

Ken:Who are you seeing tomorrow?

Milani: I didn't notice you there.

Ken: Well that's because you were busy talking to your boyfriend.

Milani: That was not my boyfriend, and I am going to see Loraine and her daughter tomorrow.

Ken: Well I don't care, and you are not going anywhere tomorrow.

Milani: But can I have them come over?

Ken: That can't happen, but please don't cry you are going to ruin your makeup.

Milani: Ken I will make it up to you please.

Ken: Go and fetch your hand bag so that We can both leave.

The Golden household

Claire Golden looked at old pictures of her little Milani. Life has never been the same since her departure, It has been 6 years since she and her husband saw her. It was her fault that her daughter was disconnected from her own family, She was obsessed with giving her daughter a good life that she ended up compromising her daughter's happiness in the process of doing so. She had to force her daughter into early marriage , and we'll at first she ripped fine fruits from that marriage but then as time went things changed.

Claire 's eyes got teary and tears slowly went down her eyes and her husband opened the door and he comforted her.

Andy: We have already lost her, Getting her from the Scott family would put her life in danger.

Claire:(Sobbing) But we have lost the only thing that we have in this world, What's the point of me drinking medication to live while my daughter is out there suffering.

Andy: Claire my love, Milani wouldn't like to see you give up your life like this let's have some hope.

Claire: I remember when I first touched her, She was the most precious thing to me, My beautiful baby.

Andy : We can't afford to lose hope, That's what Milani would want for us.

Claire: Andy it hurts I feel as if my heart has been broken into a million pieces.

Andy : I also feel the pain you are feeling but I cannot afford to see you in pain, But I have a plan.

Gala dinner

Ken walked in the gala dinner with Milani as they were holding hands. The dress that Milani wore tightened her as it showed her beautiful model body . Ken acted like a gentleman throughout the dinner as he did nice gestures for her like pulling the chair for her and pouring food and wine for her. Everyone saw Ken as the nice husband he acted to be, but in real life he was an abusive psychopath that needed rehabilitation. All the people did was to talk about business and their so called " perfect lives".

lady1: Ken you seem like a gentleman, Milani you are so lucky to have him.

Milani faked her smile but her heart longed that Ken would really be a true gentleman.

The gala dinner ended and Ken and Milani went to their house.
