**BOKANG**

.

Her eyes were wide open as Pulane read the message out loud. She tried to make a run for it but she couldn't even reach the door for that matter. I grabbed her by her hair unintentionally and I ended up with the fake hair on my hand as she continued to run downstairs. I ran after her and I managed to grab her this time around. I was so angry I needed answers and judging by her actions, she was guilty of something huge and unforgivable. I forced her against the wall while still grabbing her tight

.

Me: Talk!

Gigi: You're hurting me

Me: I said talk

Gigi: Okay I'll talk but please don't hurt me

Me: I can't promise that

Gigi: Bokang please

Me: I don't have all day

Gigi: John is back in the country

Me: What?

Pulane: I told you she's a snake but you didn't want to listen

Gigi: Please

Me: Have you been seeing him?

Gigi: Yes

Me: How long?

Gigi: It's been a while

.

I tightened my grip and she cried out like a little baby. I dragged her to the couch and pushed her to sit

.

Me: You're going to tell me everything and then maybe I can spare your life

Gigi: I was desperate

Me: Desperate for what?

Gigi: I wanted you to see me again

Me: Rubbish! You know I don't love you anymore

Gigi: I'm sorry

Me: Tell me about the poison

Gigi: I asked John to get me something to eliminate Pulane

Pulane: What? You wanted to kill me?

Gigi: You've been standing in my way of happiness

Me: Baby make sure she doesn't go anywhere, I'm coming

.

I went to my room to get my gun then I came back.

.

Me: Take me to John

Gigi: I don't know where he stays

Me: Call him then

Gigi: What are you going to do to us?

Me: It depends on what he's going to tell me

Gigi: Are you going to kill me and your baby?

Me: Is there even a baby, Gigi?

Gigi: Of course there's a baby. We made a baby, Bokang

Me: Shut up

Pulane: Don't let her fool you

Gigi: Nobody's talking to you

.

Pulane slapped Gigi so hard that she didn't even know what to say. She held tears in her eyes as I forced her to call John and set up a meeting. We all drove there and remained in the car while John shortly arrived at the place. He ended up leaving because Gigi wasn't showing up and we followed him to some place where he was probably laying low. It was somewhere in the township and he knew very well that no one would find him there. He ended up noticing that we were following him even though we kept our following distance so he increased the speed and so did we. We caught up with him and he stopped when he realised it was us. We all got out of the car and went to him

.

John: I knew you'd sell me out, G

Gigi: I didn't

John: Then what are you all doing here?

Me: I want you to take us to your place

John: What for?

Me: You're in no position to ask questions

John: What if I refuse

Me: I could just put a bullet in your head right now and maybe go to jail

John: You don't have it in you

Me: I would do anything to protect the women who are close to heart

John: Oh really?

Me: So what is it going to be?

John: Fine but I really don't see the reason why you want to see where I stay

Me: You shouldn't worry yourself about minor things. Get in your car and drive

Pulane: Tell him to give you his phone

Me: That's actually a good idea baby. We don't want him to call his dogs to stop us

.

He handed over his phone before getting into his car. We drove for about 10mins before we got to a place where he stayed. We got into the house and Gigi was trembling with fear

.

John: What do you want?

Pulane: Why did you kill my grandmother?

John: To teach you a lesson

Me: Don't you get tired, John?

John: Tired of what? I was over it when your bitch contacted me

Me: You two are going to tell me everything

John: She'll do the honours

Gigi: There's nothing to tell

John: Oh there's a lot to tell, sweety

Gigi: You shut up, John

John: Shut up? Tell him that you're not pregnant

Pulane: I knew it. I told you, B

John: And the first pregnancy wasn't even yours but mine

.

My heart sank after hearing those words. Gigi kneeled in front of me begging for forgiveness. I was shuttered and all the strength I had suddenly vanished. To think I once loved her with all my being and there was nothing I wouldn't do for her.

.

Gigi: It was a mistake but John forced me to terminate

John: Oh please you wanted to

Gigi: I never stopped loving you still

Me: Get your hands off me

Gigi: Bokang please

Me: I said get your hands off me because I do something I'll regret

John: Tell him that you organised the hijacking that went south

Me: What?

Gigi: It wasn't supposed to be like that

Me: So I almost died because of you two?

Gigi: I'm so sorry

John: Sorry for what? This bitch you once called your girlfriend has been sneaking into my bedroom for a long time

Gigi: Shut up, John. We both know you took advantage of me

.

I pushed her away from me and she fell at John's feet. I was frustrated and I didn't know what to do. The gun was still in my hand and fully loaded and I knew something had to take a bullet. Pulane stood speechless at the corner with tears running down her face. I pointed the gun at John then both the women screamed. Pulane rushed to hold my hand and try to stop me from shooting but I was already overcome with a demon that was unstoppable and I pulled the trigger. John dropped to the floor and Gigi tried to run but I shot her leg and she fell down. Pulane stood in shock after my actions and she was in complete fear.
