***NARRATED***
***After a few seconds he raised his head and his face had a cold look on it then he took out his phone and he switched it on and dialed Jabu’s numbers, he knew no matter how bad they fight or argue but he will always have his back***
Jabu: keng? (what?)
Heath: stop acting like a bitch on her period man, shit just hit the fan….. look I have a dead body in my trunk and I don’t know how it got there
Jabu: heh?
***he asked with a worried tone ***
Heath: yeah…I went to a bar to drink last night and I ended up having a drink with some bitch that said she’s also there to drown her sorrows then I started feeling dizzy and she pretended to help me get an uber since I couldn’t drive then she helped me outside but before I passed out I heard her say “he’s out you can come” and I woke up naked with a condom on my dick this morning and the side of the bed I was on drenched with blood and now I found her naked dead body in the trunk
***he told him with a calm voice****
Jabu: fuck! fuck! fuck!.....ok where are you now?
***Heath told him***
Jabu: ok I’ll call Mat and we will come to you wena just find a quiet spot away from the main road or somewhere were the aren’t people moving around or cameras around and send me your location
Heath: ok
***then Jabu kept quiet a bit***
Jabu: Mshikaro
Heath: yeah
Jabu: as mad as I am with you but know that I believe you cause I know you can never lie to me so I got your back…. remember brothers for life
Heath: yeah brothers for life
***then they ended the call even though Jabu could sense that Heath was too calm and his voice sounded a bit different more like cold, the wasn’t even a bit of panic on his voice and he knew what that meant***
Jabu: shit… eish inkathazo iqalile manje (trouble has started now)
***He sighed and dialed Mat’s numbers***
.
.
.
*** Meanwhile Heath started the car and found a quiet back street and he parked there and send Jabu and Mat his location and he got out of the car and he went to hide somewhere for just in case the police shows up cause its clear to him that all this is a set up …… soon a car parked behind his car and he watched as Jabu got out of the car and he came out of his hiding place ***
Jabu: bros
Heath: Jabu
*** they bro-hugged but Jabu could see that he wasn’t looking at or talking to the Heath he knows but to Caesar***
Jabu: Caesar?
***a creepy smile emerged on Heath’s face and Jabu swallowed hard***
Caesar: in the flesh
***then he chuckled***
Jabu: shit!
Caesar: so….where is Mat?
Jabu: he…he’s coming
***he nodded and moved to the boot of his car and Jabu followed him and he opened it***
Jabu: damn
Caesar: mmmmh and I suspect they even used Heath’s gun to kill her
***Jabu swallowed cause its now officially confirmed that Caesar is out***
Jabu: I suspect so too
Caesar: mmmmh and as i was searching his car for bugs I didn’t find his gun
Jabu: damn, that means you have to go to the police station to report it stolen so that when its found you’ll have the police report as back up
***Caesar looked at Jabu with a raised eyebrow ***
Jabu: what?
Caesar: you do know this is not your cousin right
***Jabu sighed deeply***
Jabu: I know but Naledi or your kids or rather his kids should never meet Caesar you know that right
***he smirked***
Caesar: I know, you know Im a very… very private person
***Jabu nodded***
Caesar: good now I know there is a road block somewhere they know he will definitely pass and they are waiting for Heath to drive by
Jabu: yeah so we need to move the body to another car and have Mat or Diego drive your car after we have cleaned it thoroughly and see what will happen and the reaction of the cops that will stop him
***Caesar nodded***
Caesar: and what about the disposal of the body?
Jabu: I know someone who owns a mortuary, we will go there and remove the bullets on her body and make a deal will him then have her cremated
Caesar: mmmmh good plan
Jabu: yeah
***then Mat’s car parked next to them and him and Diego got out and they all fist bumped and Diego whistled when he saw the body***
Diego: who the hell did you piss off man?
Caesar: someone who’s about to die
***Diego and Mat chuckled but Jabu didn’t cause he knew what is about to happen ….anyway they put the body on the ground and switched the boot carpet from Jabu’s car with Heath’s boot carpet then they carried the body to Jabu’s car and also put the plastic that has the bloodied sheet, bed covers and pillow cases along with the body in the boot ***
Caesar: Diego you’ll drive Heath’s car to his house while I’ll use your car to go to the police station and Mat and Jabu you’ll take the body to the mortuary and I’ll meet ya’ll there
***Diego and Mat looked at Heath with their eyebrows raised***
Jabu: I’ll explain later let’s go man
Caesar: don’t touch her body until I get there
***Jabu nodded and they all got in the cars and drove to different directions***
Mat: explain now
***Jabu sighed***
Jabu: multiple personalities
Mat: wait what?....wait does Jefe even know about this
Jabu: yeah…only me and him…and Heath know
Mat: damn….what made him have multiple personalities?
***Jabu sighed***
Jabu: well when I was still in prison he was kidnapped by some Nigerians who wanted to use him to get his father to do some illegal shit for them and apparently he created Caesar to cope with the torture he suffered when he was still kidnapped…and we didn’t know about Caesar until he killed some fool that send a hitman after me after I got out of prison, he killed that man in a more gruesome way that made me question his sanity man, and the same dark look he has now is the same one he had back then and when big Ray came after I told him what happened that’s when we realized Caesar wasn’t just a name and the worst part is we don’t even know how many personalities he has since we have only met Caesar so far
Mat: shit….that’s messed up man
Jabu: tell me about it…..i just hope he doesn’t talk to Naledi using Heath as a third person
Mat: that would be creepy to her man as much as it was creepy to Dee and i….he’s too calm and cold at the same time, even his serious tone, dark eyes and creepy smile is not on man
***Jabu sighed***
.
.
.
***Heath or Rather Caesar was driving to the police station when his phone rang, it was Thandi so he answered***
Caesar: yeah
Thandi: how could you Heath mmmmh? how can you hurt Naledi like this, what did she do to deserve this from you
***Caesar just shook his head***
Caesar: Thandi can I call you later im driving now
Thandi: FUCK YOU HEATH, CALL ME LATER SE GAT…HOW CAN YOU CHEAT ON NALEDI AND THEN TAKE PICTURES WITH YOUR BITCH AND NOW KATLEGO POSTED THOSE PICTURES ON FACEBOOK, HOW CAN YOU BE THAT CRUEL
Caesar: wait what?
Thandi: HOW CAN YOU CHEAT ON NALEDI HEATH MMMM? AFTER EVERYTHING SHE’S BEEN THROUGH YOU DECIDED TO HURT HER LIKE THAT, HOW COULD YOU….AND TO THINK I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD FOR HER BUT NO YOU ARE…..
***he just dropped the call and parked on the side of the road and he logged on to Facebook and he went to his notification box and he saw that Katlego tagged him and Naledi and he clicked on it and what he saw made him extremely angry***
Caesar: ooh wrong move bitch, fucken wrong move!
***He said that and he clenched his jaws ***
Caesar: ok let me do some damage control
***he said to himself and he reported that post and after he was done he also decided to post on his/Heath’s account and he wrote:
“well KATLEGO aka “WHORE” MOEKETSI, I will never cheat on my beautiful wife and good people just so you know that low life bitch named KATLEGO, the same bitch that photo-shopped and posted this rubbish, is a sister to a bitter ex I once dumped and now her evil sister did this cause im married to a beautiful woman that has albinism that I love with everything in me and I guess they couldn’t stomach the fact that I left her sorry ass and married Obi m someone they looked down on….wow I must say this was very low even for her…..Anyway guess what my wife knows how I look like when im naked so she knows this is not me cause I have a tattoo on my right rib of a dragon (he lied) so too bad for your plan bitch….. ooh and my beautiful and sexy wife and i are cool so whatever you hoped to achieve KATLEGO know that you FAILED”
then he tagged Katlego back and he logged out of Facebook and started the car and drove away***
.
.
.
*** He went to the police station and reported his gun stolen then before going to the mortuary he decided to go do damage control at the hospital too, he got there and he slowly opened the door and he could hear Naledi’s sobs….her back was facing the door and her sobs would even touch the most coldest heart ever anyway he just went inside and Naledi caught his scent before he even said anything and she tried to wipe her tears off but it was a futile thing to do as they kept on falling***
Naledi: I…i don’t wanna see your face so leave Heath
*** she said with a breaking voice and he didn’t say anything or move from his spot***
Naledi: I can still feel you standing there, I said leave didn’t i
Heath: im not going anywhere until you listen to what I have to say… now sit up
***he commanded her and she chuckled bitterly***
Naledi: leave Heath or I’ll have you thrown out
Heath: try that shit and you’ll see what will happen
***he said it with a cold tone and she swallowed hard***
Heath: now sit up and listen
***she didn’t move, she just sniffed***
Heath: I can make you sit up forceful you know so which one will it be, you doing it yourself or me making it happen for you
***she couldn’t miss the coldness of his tone and even the slight change of his voice…..she closed her eyes shortly then she opened them and she slowly sat up straight, she was still bothered by the slight difference in his voice, it was bone chilling in away….. well she found him standing next to the bed and she could tell there was something different about him, he had his hands in his pockets and his eyes were dark and he had this cold look on his face, she expected him to be in panic mode or for her to see fear in his eyes but none of that was visible on his face***
Caesar: you know Ike can sense your negative energy and it could make him sick in a way
***she didn’t say anything, she wasn’t even looking at him now cause her mind drifted off to those pictures Katlego tagged her on Facebook ….she couldn’t believe that Heath would do that to her while she’s in hospital with their son because his ex stabbed her, she couldn’t believe the turn of events and the betrayal she just witnessed from him…. at the back of her head she always knew that she wasn’t his type or in his league but he kept on whispering sweet nothings to her and she actually fell and believed them and now as she was sitting there she realized that she has been a fool to believe that a man like Heath could actually love her and commit to her alone***
Caesar: are you done holding that intense meeting by yourself?
***she didn’t say anything and he took out his hands out of his pockets and he rubbed them together and got closer ***
Caesar: ok then look at me
***she didn’t and he sat on the bed and held her chin lifting her face***
Caesar: look at me Naledi
***she didn’t ***
Caesar: Naledi I said look at me now!
***he commanded her and she just lifted her eyes and he noticed her eyes where swollen and red***
Caesar: shit….ok look he didn’t….
***he stopped***
Caesar: I didn’t cheat
***she chuckled bitterly and looked away***
Caesar: don’t look away when im talking to you….now look at me
***she did feeling a little scared of his cold tone and now tears where running down her cheeks***
Caesar: look the thing is I was drugged at a bar I went to drown my sorrows in, a woman sat next to me and she started talking to me about how her fiancé cheated on her with her sister and I started talking about how I messed things between us and how I didn’t know how to fix things, yes she flirted with me but I ignored that cause I was more worried about what I said about Lerato to you
***she kept on wiping her falling tears ***
Caesar: then I started feeling dizzy and I thought it’s because I was drunk but when she helped me outside after she said she called an uber for me I started feeling sick, she helped me sit down and I got worse, and when I managed to ask her what she did to me she just said I should stop fighting it and go to sleep but before I passed out I heard her say to someone that the person should come cause I was out and that it wasn’t hard to get me cause when she decided to approach me I was already drunk
Naledi: and you expect me to believe that nonsense, is that how gullible and naïve you think I am Heath
Caesar: im not done, now will you keep quiet until im done
***he said with a hard tone and Naledi chuckled bitterly with tears still running down her cheeks***
Caesar: then I woke up on a bed to find the space next to me drenched with blood and I was naked with a condom still wrapped on my dick and the “girl” was nowhere to be found and even now I still don’t remember what happened after I passed out …. right there and then I knew im being set up somehow and it was true cause as I was driving trying to make sense of what was happening I heard something move in the boot and I stopped the car and went to look and a body of that dead woman was in there
***Naledi’s eyes popped out as she looked at him shocked and she could see that he was dead serious***
Caesar: then your frie….i mean then Thandi called me shouting saying I cheated on you and when I logged into Facebook I saw that it was the same girl I found in the boot and on the pictures I looked out of it
***Naledi was just looking at him still shocked as she couldn’t believe what she was hearing…..and the worst part was Heath’s chilled and calm voice not to mention an emotionless look on his face…. she has never seen him like this***
Caesar: and I saw that, that useless waste of breath called Katlego is the one that posted those pictures so it means whomever made that girl to drug me is also working with her
***then he moved away from the bed and he stood there with his hands in his pockets looking at Naledi who still looked shocked and confused***
Caesar: you know me Naledi, you know I’d rather die than to lose you
Naledi: please just….. leave
***that’s all she managed to say looking away***
Caesar: its ok I’ll leave but know this, firstly we are not divorcing or separating and secondly we will not give Katlego or whoever is after me the satisfaction and thirdly I know you’re hurt and probably hate me but just think about what I just told you cause all this doesn’t make sense, someone is after me and now that his/her plans didn’t work they might come after you or our kids to hurt me
***Naledi looked up at him alarmed***
Naledi: wha…what do you mean?
Caesar: I mean im not lying to you Naledi or trying to bullshit you with some cock and bull story, im dead serious someone is after me and I want you to be strong for our kids and not let your hate towards me to stop you from being the protective mother hen to our chicks
***Naledi closed her eyes***
Naledi: Heath are my babies lives in danger?
Caesar: I don’t know im just being careful and not waiting to see if they are in danger or not
Naledi: now you listen here Heath Ezeudo Owoh-Masden, if anything and I mean anything happen to my babies you better commit suicide before I get to you, you hear me…now you better make sure nothing happens to them or my “hate” towards you will be the least of your worries
***she said that to him with a serious look on her face that turned “Caesar” on but he didn’t show it***
Caesar: yes mam
***he said that looking at her as she was breathing heavily looking at Heath with a deadly look on her face***
Caesar: not everything is as it seems Naledi, always remember that some people don’t want to see us together or happy and so they will do anything to break us up, some might even go to an extend of using witchcraft to break us up….just don’t ….let them win
***then he went to the incubator and he looked at Ike***
Caesar: guards will be deployed outside your door and I’ll also deploy others for the girls too
***then he turned and walked to the door then he stopped and turned to look at Naledi***
Caesar: also be wary of the nurses too, I’ll tell the guards to also be wary of them or any suspicious doctors
***then he walked out he didn’t know if it was “appropriate” to even kiss her or tell her he loves her like “Heath” does***
.
.
.
*** He got to the mortuary after Jabu send him the location and he went inside and they receptionist took him to the owner’s office and he got in and greeted him then he sat down***
Jabu: how did it go?
Caesar: good….ooh and you should send two of your guys to the hospital to make sure Naledi and the baby are safe and two others should watch over Thandi’s house
***Jabu nodded***
Mat: well I guess you were really set up cause Diego was stopped by some cops and the stupid cops’ reaction was what gave them up when they saw Diego instead of you
Caesar: did they search the car?
Mat: yeah and he saw one of the cops talking on the phone looking frustrated after he didn’t find what he was looking for in the boot
Caesar: mmmmh interesting…..anyway where is the body?
Owner: this way
***they followed him and the owner wanted to remove the bullets himself but Heath stopped him and he did it himself***
Caesar: I want her body to be cremated….when can it be done?
Owner: umm I can make it happen today
Caesar: good
*** then he took out an envelope with money inside his pocket and he gave it to the owner***
Caesar: make sure it happens and I’ll send someone to come for her ashes
***the owner nodded smiling***
Mat: what are you going to do with her ashes man?
Caesar: im gonna mix it with water and make the person who paid the bitch to set Heath up drink it before I kill him
*** he said with a chilled out but cold voice and the owner’s smile faded as he looked at Heath shocked***
Mat: damn
.
.
.
*** They were now at Heath’s house and Mat was going through the security cams of that bar and the moment Heath stepped inside they just went blank***
Jabu: damn it
***Heath huffed and he got up***
Caesar: ok how about any cameras around that bar didn’t they catch anything?
Mat: well they are not clear and you cant even see the number plates of their car or let alone their faces
Caesar: ok then we are going after the cop, im sure he’ll tell me who tipped him off and how much does he know about all this shit
Jabu: yah we should….im sure dai moeskond knows something
Mat: wait a minute
Caesar: what did you find?
Mat: the number plate
Diego: but you said you couldn’t see it
Mat: yeah but the minute it made a right turn I checked for any public cctv cameras and I found one on some government building facing the road and I got the sons of bitches
Jabu: so who does the car belong to?
Mat: wait let me hack into the traffic department and find out
***he got busy on his laptop***
Jabu: how is she for real?
Caesar: she’s one tough cookie so she’ll be ok….with time….anyway I heard the insults you showered Heath with
***he said with a raised eyebrow and Jabu frowned***
Jabu: well he deserved them
Caesar: ooh is it?
Jabu: yeah or keng o nale skhalo? ( or what you have a problem with it)
Caesar: you do know im not Heath right so I can just fuck you up right now
Jabu: voetsek le marete….go fuck up dithaka tsa gao, I see wa lebala gore ek is jou groet man jou muur (your mates)
***Heath chuckled***
Caesar: one day Jabu
***he said pointing at him and Jabu showed him the middle finger***
Mat: got him….the car belongs to a Stanley sfiso Ngema
***then he turned the screen to them and they looked at his picture***
Jabu: moeskond
Caesar: Jabu get your guys to go pick him up before night falls and they should take him to that spot where I slid that fucker’s throat named Jacob or something
***Jabu nodded***
.
.
.
Thandi: im sorry Ledi, I cant believe he did that to you
***Naledi just wiped her tears off***
Thandi: really like I cant believe Heath did that to you….how could he and on top of it he lied on his account saying you two are ok
Naledi: can…can we not talk about it please....the doctor said my BP is high and talking or thinking about those pictures and everything that happened makes me angry
***Thandi nodded***
Thandi: so what’s up with bo mantjengelane mo monyako ( the guards outside the door)
***Naledi just shrug her shoulders….she didn’t want Thandi asking her questions she cant answer or for her to get involved in her marital problems cause she’s Heath’s cousin and also her best friend at the same time so she doesn’t want her to be caught between a rock and a hard place***
Naledi: so how are my girls?
Thandi: they miss you?
***she sighed***
Naledi: I miss them too….can you bring them along tomorrow
Thandi: of course…Ledi o tlo ba shap mara?( are you going to be ok?)
***Naledi sighed***
Naledi: I have to be Thandi I mean i should be used to being hurt by now and i have kids that need me more than I need to mend my broken heart so I have to be strong for them
***Thandi just went closer to her and she hugged her and Naledi just sobbed painfully while Thandi’s own tears ran down her cheeks***
Thandi: go tlo loka Naledi, o tlo bona go tlo loka (all will be well Naledi, you’ll see all will be well)
***she said with a breaking voice….. Well after Thandi left Naledi’s father walked in her ward and found her staring into space ***
James: can I come in?
***she quickly looked at the door and when her eyes landed on her father they filled with tears***
Naledi: ple….please hold me dad please
***she said with a breaking voice with tears now running down her cheeks and her bottom lip trembling and James rushed to her and he sat at the edge of her bed and held her tight as she sobbed painfully***
James: daddy is here baby, now let it all out….all the pain and hurt you are feeling, just let it all out
***he said rubbing her back and she just continued to sob painfully on his chest***
