CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
After Kate had successfully escaped from TRIPLE E group of companies, she went to the hospital and found Zamiwe tending to her husband. Looking at Kent laying unconsciously on the hospital bed ignited her anger again. She wanted to do something about what happened to him but thinking about the power and influence of the people she suspected, she couldn’t do anything on her own.
“Hello Kate, we were worried about you,” Zamiwe said when she noticed Kate's presence. “Ludo came to your house twice and she didn’t find you. Is everything fine?”
“Everything is fine, thank you. I had to go to school to apply for a leave,” Kate answered. “I have seen that I can’t manage working while my husband is here. I have to be here too.”

A week and some days had passed since Ludo had communicated with Hunter. She had left him several voicemails but he didn’t call her back. She wanted to let him know about the progress she was making. She had become closer with Evan and he had started opening up to her about his family matters. The only worry she had was Erica and Ethan. Erica made it known that she was not a fan of her, and Ethan was mysterious as usual. Elise on the other hand had gotten busy taking care of the company and was hardly seen. Ludo even started taking care of Mr. Hamuumbu whenever she went to the house. On most occasions, with Elise's busy schedule, Mr. Hamuumbu was left alone.

A dark orange ford ranger 2016 was parked outside the Chief’s palace in Chisoti village. Opposite it was a white Corolla Altis. The surrounding was deserted despite being eight in the morning. Indistinct voices could be heard from outside the small respected palace but what was more apparent were the voices coming from the Chief’s office further away from the main house. Hearing the voices, one could agree that where men talked, it sounded like a fight would start.“I still stand by my decision,” Chief Chovu said looking at the two men seated in front of him. “That land is sacred, i cannot sell it; my people won’t let me.”The two men looked at each other. One of them sat upright and broke the silence, “Chief Chovu we respect that you respect the land more than anything. I love that in a man,” he paused, “We have been coming here for the last six months and your stance on the issue has been amazi

Arriving at the hospital, Ludo called Melanie. She was fed up with this cycle. If it wasn’t the prison, it was the streets, now the hospital. She had promised herself not to involve herself in Evan’s life but as it stood, she was still in it. She walked to the ward he was admitted and before entering, she took a long deep breath. It had been nine months since she last saw him. She found Melanie talking on the phone while Evan had his eyes closed. She knew he was pretending to be sleeping because he knew it was her. She closed the door behind her and waited on Melanie to finish talking on the phone while she looked at Evan contemptuously. He had some stitches on his forehead, a black eye and a swollen lower lip. Whatever happened to the mighty Evan? She wondered before being interrupted by Melanie. “You’re here?" ” Yes,” Ludo sighed putting her handbag on a table. “Good, I have to leave. I left Zeus with the maid, she’s new and I don’t fully trust her

The Chief saw that everyone was looking at them, he tried to calm the nonstop talking Walutanga, “Okay let’s talk about this at home.” “No father, we are going to talk about it here!” He yelled. Everyone’s heads turned in shock, their mouths gaped. What sort of disrespectfulness were they witnessing, they all wondered. “I won’t tolerate this, young man,” The chief whispered trying to grab the boy’s hand.

Ben and Devi exchanged glances after walking around the unfinished school building. They knew they were so close to having the chief sign up the deal. They had been patient enough and it was getting on their last nerves. What irritated them more was the surfacing of the Chief’s young son, Walutanga. Despite him being the youngest, what he was saying could alter the Chief's mind and now that they were so close to the deal, they had to do something.“I’m getting sick and tired of this,” Ben whispered to Devi.“You just don’t know how fed up I am with this already,” Devi whispered back.“Do something.” Ben urged.“What do you mean do something?
