Ms X drops out of her LLB studies, sells her flat, her car and all of her furniture and resigns with immediate effect from her paralegal job. She moves to Cape Town, leaving behind all her friends and family to be closer to Mr. Y. Mr Y puts Ms X up in a luxurious, furnished penthouse in Camps Bay , buys her a completely new wardrobe and provides her with monthly pocket money of R100 000. One night three months after Ms X gave up her life in Johannesburg and moved to Cape Town, Mr. Y arrives with another woman and tells Ms. X that their relationship is over.

Mr Y tells Ms X to immediately leave the apartment and allows her to take nothing but the clothes she has on her back.
