          Sthembiso's P.O.V

I have been trying to call Mphoentle for the past few days with no luck she didn't reply to my emails she should be here by now but all this days with no word from her left me worried,I picked up my phone to make a call to the city I had friends everywhere even in the police force if it was something bad they would know "hello Themba,Sthe here"
"Sure Sthe what's up?"
"Look man I'm looking for someone and you know I can't move a finger I'm stuck in KZN, I know it's a long leap but I need you to find someone for me her name is Mphoentle Dube "
"Oh she must be special for you to call me I don't remember you ever worrying about any girl before"
"Ok cut it out"
"Wait did you say Mphoentle?"
"Yes"
"When last did you read a paper or watch the news brother?"
"What do you mean?"i asked
'I'm sending you a report then get back to me and Sthe you didn't get it from me"
"Sure bra you know"said as I hanged up
I opened my emails the report was labelled "pending "
I opened it Themba had included pictures of a badly burned body of what looked like a female in a car it was a mini Cooper country man it was torched but I could tell it was white, I fell to my knees it can't be her I started reading the report "A badly birned female body  was found in her car after hitting a tree 2 days ago she was burned  beyond unrecognition we believe it's a 22 year old Mphoentle Dube a former dance student anyone the car is also registered in her name "what the hell? I didn't waste anytime I called Themba back
"Did you find a ring on the girl?"
"No just a suitcase,id,handbag and cell phone forensic is still working on her phone but the car was registered to a Mphoentle Dube "
"Themba she's my wife"The fear evident in my voice
"What?shit "
"I'm coming to Johannesburg today ,I'll call you when I get there"i hanged up before he could reply and dragged out my suitcase threw clothes in uncle Muzi appeared on the door "nephew I have had news" he threw the newspaper on the bed
"I know I'm heading to Johannesburg to find out what happened"
"You can't leave you are in mourning"
"She's my wife"i shouted
"Ok I'll take care of this for you I promise"i had forgotten I can't leave yet but I didn't care about anything but my wife
"Muzi I'm leaving it to you please find her please"thats when my eyes gave in and tears came without warning,he moved close and gave me a hug ,it was too soon to seek comfort for a wife I didn't think was dead yet I wished I was not royalty I could go and find her myself and keep her safe away from this world .

                  Muzi's P.O.V

I have that bastard where I want him I can strike now,lead him where I want him,I had to find Bongi I walked into the palace kitchen ,there she was my meal ticket all I needed was to nudge her further "Bongi"
She turned to look at me she was one of the many maids I had my fun with in this house,she knew I was married but she wanted it I made sure of that,she was the same age as my last born but she was spectacular it took alot for me not to reap off her clothes every chance I got,"baby I need a favour and I promise I'll make it worth your while"
"What can I do for you babe?"
"Whose tea is that?"
"The king's"
"Mxm that nuisance is no king but if it suits  you to call him that I won't  object"
"Baba don't let anyone hear you speak like that or..."
I cut her off "or what? indeed brain had no face.She was beautiful but stupid
"I need you to add something in that tea your king is not feeling well and this will help him calm down and it's gonna speed up the process of you being Queen"
"What do you mean?"

"You have been trying to seduce the boy for long now and we both know your tricks don't work on him now we do it my way and you better not fail"i made sure my face potraid my seriousness I had no time to play around not even for a piece of meat like her and it was known how she was my son's girlfriend putting her in harms way was easier now
"take it and make sure he drinks it hot go now"
