"Why are two names highlighted in red?' He asked accepting the champagne.
"They are the deal breaker." She told him simply and drank her champagne. Tebogo looked at the names again.
"Care to explain?"
"Of course. Those names are people your brother was friends with while here in Jo'burg." She told him pausing for a sip. "The seven names are girls he went out with and proposed marriage to and the two names are the girls he impregnated, and actually paid Lobola for."
Tebogo looked at her stunned.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He asked, his voice getting threatening and his face closing up. Not that Mandisa cared. This was the ace up her sleeve and his reaction was spot on.
"Didn't you know?" She asked still using her honey coated voice. "Your brother is a regular Casanova. Why do you think it took him seven years to complete his degree instead of four?"
Tebogo clenched his teeth. He had known that his brother was a Casanova, why wouldn't he be when he had the looks, the name and the family fortune at his disposal? Tumi had been a Casanova from the age of sixteen but to impregnate some girls and pay Lobola for them? That was out of the question. Mandisa had to be lying? Isn't that what he had done, lied to her?
"It's all true." she said reading his mind as good as he could read hers. 'But if you don't believe me, you can get your lawyer or private investigator to ask around. I mean that is why I brought the list to you." She said confidently. One thing Tebogo knew about her was that she didn't bluff. All lawyers did but not Mandisa. She told it like it is and if there was a remote chance that she was wrong, she wouldn't have came to his hotel room and told him about the girls. Which meant she was one hundred percent sure that her facts were correct and if that was the case then he was in big trouble. Tebogo felt like kicking himself. He had thought he had everything under control. He had known that Mandisa was going to research him and his family but in his stupidity he had assumed her focus would be on him. Again he had underestimated her.
"I think I might just do that." He told her to save face. The first thing he intended to do was to call his mother and find out about the Lobola paying business and why the hell he hadn't been told, and secondly he was going to kill his brother and ensure that he never fell in love again. He threw the file on the bed and drowned the champagne. 'Is there anything else?" He asked coldly.
