Izwile's POV

You know when you have a lot on your mind and you keep tossing and turning all night long. My sister is my only, only family. When our parents left us she became my reason to wake up everyday. All I did was to make sure that she has the best life any girl can wish for. Actually she became my own daughter.
I was 18 when they died leaving us with a roof over our heads and money to go on with life. I wasn't easy I remember his brothers wanting to take everything from us but luckily I was old enough to manage my father's property.

His brothers disowned us and told us to never call them family again. And they chased my sister out who stayed with one of them for 6 months thinking they'll help us but no.My mom was a nurse and my father was a police officer hence my uncles didn't succeed in taking our property because one of his friends handled the case.

After their death I struggle with school and taking care of an eight year old girl who needed a home so we moved from Kwa Zulu to Johannesburg where I was schooling at wits university. I bought us and apartment with some of the money our parents left us with because my education was paid for by my bursary for having attained 7 distinctions. I hired one old wonderful lady who is still with us to help me with her incase I was late from class.

Later I graduated to of my class and now I'm an actuarian. Working for Absa Bank in kzn. We moved back after I graduated.
Now I own 5 apartments which are for rentals the double story house with 4 cars in total namely BMW X6, range rover sport g wagon and C63 amg.

Now I'm currently packing cloths for my sister because yesterday she had none only her uniform drenched in blood and a little bit of food I know for a fact she hates hospital food. I'm already dressed in ck jeans a body suit and Yeezy sneakers with my box braids tied in a bun.oh I didn't forget to drive by McDonalds to get her nuggets because WOW! The obsession.

"Princess.." I say standing by the door getting her attention. She's already awake. She notices me and smiles.
"Hey mama"she say and I rush towards her and hug her
"Ouch... You hurting me" she says giggling. I love this girl lord!
"Sorry my baby but I couldn't help it" I say as I also can't stop the tears coming out.
"Do you always have to cry though" she says teasing.
" Well you sleeping here so yeah I have to. And I missed you." I say looking at here. She has mom's eyes and nose well we both have mom's small nose while I have dad's big eyes. But we look like mom more.

"Penny for your thoughts" she says taking a bit of one nugget.
"Mind telling me what happened yesterday princess you had me worried" I say getting serious.
"Well yesterday afterschool I told the driver I'm going to the Library I'll call you to come a fetch me instead I had forgotten about the meeting you were having and busy day so when I remembered I requested an uber so when I crossed the road to wait for the driver that's when I got hit" she says.
"I'm so sorry if I knewi would have called of the meeting or something. You my number 1 priority." Yeah she is.

After that we talked and talked while eating and Angel her friend came to visit Her so I decided to give them some space. I decided to go the mall to do some retail therapy I need it lord.

"If I knew I'd find my best friend here in the mall doing shopping without me I'd have stayed at home" someone say behind me. When I turn around to see who it is I roll my eyes laughing.
