“Also dabbles in a bit of fraud and hijacking which Ayanda helps him conceal. ALLEGEDLY. Remember the luxury cars gifted to Ayanda and police reports about the same car going missing around that time, especially the Bentley? ALLEGEDLY.” — @Burnerburnerac5

“When you’re marrying a man who can’t cross borders without raising suspicion, a traditional aisle & altar won’t suffice — instead, opt for tents, candles, and NDAs. The luxurious lifestyle isn’t so glamorous when crime is part of the picture.” — @1blackteacup
