Lerato Stories

For three years, I was his secret, broken and silenced by brutality. I built my sense of worth and empire from ashes, a girl boss finding her power.

You can’t buy back a heart with a heroic act after spending three years breaking it.

Growing up among the ultra-rich elite of Mpumalanga, Mpumi always found safety in Mandla’s shadow, a quiet comfort she clung to after a hidden trauma shattered her world. But when their secret three-year relationship ends after he chooses his high school crush, she finally steps out of his garage and into the powerful orbit of Phinda, the mysterious older cousin who has always known her worth. By the time Mandla awakens to the reality of what he traded away and attempts a desperate, bloody redemption, he is forced to face the ultimate Lowveld truth: some treasures, once they recognise their own worth, are become permanently out of reach.

Welcome to Fancourt Estate, where secrets are old and status is everything.

For Ilse van der Berg, the manicured fairways of George are a golden cage. To her mother, she is a social liability. To her stepbrother, Reinhardt, the golden boy of local rugby, she is a middle-class intruder meant to be hidden in the dark.

He denied her in the light, but craved her in the shadows. But when Ilse commands a digital empire worth millions, the social hierarchy of the Garden Route fractures.

The balance of power has shifted. The door is locked. And the girl he looked down on is about to become the one thing he can never have.
