At the Martins mansion, August was in the living room with his wife talking. He looked at his wife and said, "I received the graduation ceremony dates for our children. They will be graduating on Saturday, the 15th of December.Aiden's graduation ceremony will be at 9 am and Avery's graduation ceremony will be at 2 pm. I was thinking since our children will be graduating on the same day. Why don't we have a combined graduation party?"Elizabeth was surprised to hear that Avery was graduating as well. Didn't she study medicine? She looked at her husband and said, "Please leave my son's graduation party to me.Do whatever you want at your daughter's graduation party. I will never allow her to steal my son's limelight."August was dumbfounded. He was hoping that for the first time his wife would put their differences aside and accompany him to celebrate their daughter's achievement.August looked at his wife with pleading eyes and said, "Elizabeth, our daughter needs your support. For onc
A few minutes later, Aiden looked at his mother coldly and walked to his father's car. When they arrived at the university, Avery was already there waiting for them. She was with Pastor Basil, the Shelton family, and Aunt Bridgette.Avery greeted everyone, then she walked to her brother and said, "Congratulations, big brother."Aiden smiled brightly and replied, "Thank you, baby sister. Congratulations on finishing your degree within three years. You made the Martins family proud."Pastor Basil was beaming with joy. He hugged August and said, "Congratulations, Son. My heart is full of gratitude to the Lord." Then he hugged Aiden and said, "Congratulations, my grandson." Aiden smiled and replied, "Thank you, Grandpa Basil."At 8:30 the doors were opened. The parents went to the balcony. Mrs Martins and Lily were sitting next to the Spencer family. The graduands were seated in allocated seats to ensure that they crossed the stage in the correct order.When it was Aiden's turn, the Facult
Four years had passed since Valencia passed away. Xavier had never looked at another woman again. He kept the promise he made to his late wife. He buried himself in work.On Friday at 5 pm, he bid goodbye to his Executive Secretary, Cole Knight, and left the office. His bodyguard, Wayne Butler, was waiting for him in the underground parking lot.Wayne greeted his boss with respect and opened the door for him. Then he went to the driver's side. Wayne drove the car to His Grace Hotel.When they arrived at His Grace Hotel, Xavier looked at his bodyguard and said, "Wayne, please fetch me tomorrow around 10 am." Then he walked into the hotel and pressed the 60th floor button.He walked to his Presidential suite. He took a quick shower and changed into navy pants and a white shirt.Last month he decided to stop wearing black clothes. He was mourning his wife in his heart. Then he headed to the private room to meet his friends.His friends were still bachelors. They were scared to commit afte
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the conference. Dr Chase Forbes was sitting next to Dr Brian Morgan. He was an Oncologist. He was an easy-going person.He looked at Dr Forbes's name tag then he shook his hand and said, "My name is Brian Morgan, nice to meet you. Where are you from?"Chase smiled and replied, "My name is Chase Forbes, nice to meet you too. I am from South Africa at Umhlanga Rocks, and I specialize in children. Are you from around Dr Morgan?"Dr Morgan smiled broadly and replied, "I was born in South Africa at Ballito, but my parents emigrated when I was young. I am an Oncologist."Chase's eyes lit up when he heard that Dr Morgan was an Oncologist. He smiled and said, "Dr Morgan, do you mind if I have a word with you after the conference?"Dr Morgan replied, "Dr Forbes, my schedule is tight from Monday, I have scheduled surgery. I don't think I will be able to see you. Why don't we go to my surgery since we will be finishing early today?"Chase nodded his head
Xavier furrowed his beautiful eyebrows when he saw his late wife's name on the file. He opened it and started reading.Tears streamed down his handsome face when he saw that his late wife had been diagnosed with stomach cancer before they even got engaged, but she didn't tell him.He was reminded of Dr Lambert's words saying that his late wife was not shocked when she heard that there was something wrong in her stomach.Dr Morgan indicated in his notes that Valencia's parents took her to him for treatment when she was eighteen years old. Also, they were aware that Valencia's stomach cancer was in the advanced stage.Dr Morgan indicated that he told the Moore family that their daughter had one and a half years to live. Xavier was so upset; that the Moore family took him for a fool.How could they do that to him? They blamed him for their daughter's passing. They even asked for compensation, but they knew all along that their daughter was dying.He looked at his friend and said, "Thank y
Valery approached her son-in-law smiling brightly and asked, "What is the matter, Son? Is everything alright at home?" She thought something bad had happened to her best friend, Caroline.It never crossed her mind that her son-in-law might be visiting them because of their granddaughter who they had abandoned. She was still holding a grudge against Valencia for asking her husband not to remarry.Mr Moore was standing behind his wife trembling. He had a bad feeling that he couldn't shake it. He was sure that his son-in-law had found out about their daughter's sickness.Since his daughter passed away, his son-in-law had always been respectful towards him.Xavier looked at his mother-in-law coldly, but he didn't utter a word. He walked to Wayne and said, "Please take Kent with you and bring Mrs Moore to my car."Wayne asked his fellow bodyguards to keep an eye on Mr Moore. Then they left for the hospital.Mrs Moore was so frightened; Xavier was sitting beside her with his eyes closed. The
John's face was stern; he took his phone. He dialed his Executive Secretary's phone number. When it was connected, he said, "Hello Ian, please terminate all the contracts we have with the Moore Group and stop their ongoing projects.Also, contact the Logistics Director to cancel all trucks from delivering goods to Moore businesses."Ian Swift was puzzled because the Taylor and the Moore family were in-laws. He quickly performed his tasks efficiently.Also, he contacted their legal team to send a statement indicating that they were no longer Moore Group's business partner. That statement caused the Moore Group share price to plummet.At the Moore residence, Mr Moore and his wife were sitting in the living room shaken. His wife was crying in her husband's arms, "Hubby, I was so scared I thought our son-in-law would kill me.He didn't utter a word; he was looking at me with icy-cold eyes. Do you think Dr Morgan told the Taylor family about Valencia's sickness?"Her husband was so upset an
Three months later, Avery visited her father at the Martins Group. She flashed her father a big smile, then she gave him an exquisite gold case. Her father took it and asked, "Did you buy me a necklace?"Avery smiled brightly and replied, "No, Daddy. This is the Longevity Health Supplement I produced. Please take one tablet per day."Then she gave her father five more gold cases and said, "I have prepared a Longevity Health Supplement for my grandpa, God grandpa, Uncle John, and your other two friends."Her father was over the moon. He opened the case. Sitting in an exquisite gold case were thirty heart-shaped pink pills. He smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, my precious daughter. Are your tablets on the market?"Avery shook her head and said, "Not yet, Daddy. I have produced 1000 tablets for now. I will produce more in the future. I am thinking of collaborating with the Forbes Group as soon as I have my laboratory."Her father nodded his head and replied, "I will bring back the Con
Two days before the Gala, Xavier and his wife were at the arrival terminal waiting for the Shelton family. A few minutes later, the Shelton family private jet landed at the King Shaka International Airport.When Logan saw his big sister, he quickened his pace, but when he saw the man beside her, his steps halted. He was intimidated by his brother-in-law's aura. He decided to wait for his parents.Ethan looked at his brother and asked, "Why are you stopping?" Logan smiled and replied, "I am waiting for you guys."Ethan raised his eyes to meet his brother-in-law's eyes and asked softly, "Why is my brother-in-law's aura so intimidating?" He felt pressured when he looked at him.Avery smiled brightly at them and said, "I am so happy that you are here." Then she hugged her Godmother tightly.Her Godfather kissed her on both cheeks, then her brothers hugged her tightly, grinning from ear to ear. Logan whispered, "Brother-in-law is intimidating." Avery giggled and ruffled his hair.Her Godpar
Sage nodded her head and replied, "Aunt Valeria told me that Avery colluded with other doctors and killed my mother.Why is she alive while my mother is dead? She will pay for every pain she has put me through. I don't have a mother today because of her."Chase was so shocked and said, "Sage, stop spouting nonsense. When your mother passed away, Avery was fifteen years old. Let me tell you the truth about your mother's death.Your grandmother wanted Valeria to marry your father, then she gave your mother medication which accelerated her death. It also causes you to have a brain tumour.The person you are supposed to hate is your maternal grandmother, not Avery. What happened to my sweet Sage? Why did you listen to the Moore family's lies? Don't you have brains?"Sage looked at Chase and replied, "You are lying to me. I don't want you as my doctor anymore. Let me tell you something, my paternal grandmother will never allow me to stay at the Moore mansion.Mark my word she will fetch me
Mr Moore felt humiliated and embarrassed by Dr Forbes' words. He went to the cashier to settle the medical bills. Two nurses wheeled Sage to the ward immediately afterward.Mr Moore went to his daughter's ward and said, "Our granddaughter has been admitted to the hospital; she has a fever." He then told his wife Sage's ward number and said, "Please go and keep our granddaughter company."Mrs Moore looked at her husband puzzled, and asked, "Why didn't you move her to the Taylor family's private ward?" Her husband became upset and replied, "You have no shame, Valery. Didn't the Taylor family sever ties with Sage?"Mrs Moore was fuming with anger, then she took her phone. She dialed Mrs Taylor's number and said, "Hello, Caroline. Sage has been admitted to the hospital because of a fever.Please move her to the Taylor family's private ward." She didn't give her time to respond. She immediately hung up the phone.When Xavier and his wife walked into the living room, they found their mother
A few minutes later, Valeria was wheeled to the private ward. Mr Moore looked at his wife and asked, "Valery, where did you get the money from? Do we have secrets between us?"Valery decided to lie and replied, "Valencia used to give me a monthly allowance when she was still alive. I hid this money for a rainy day." Her husband looked at her for a long time, but he decided not to pursue the matter.When Valeria woke up, she was surprised to see her parents sleeping beside her bed. She screamed when she saw that her legs and her arm were in a cast. Her parents woke up, and her mother asked, "How are you feeling, Sweetheart?"The nurse rushed to Valeria's private ward when she heard the scream. Valeria looked at her mother and asked, "How did I arrive here?" The nurse looked at her and replied, "The paramedics brought you here."Her mother asked, "We were told that you were involved in a car accident. Were you drunk?" Valeria shook her head and replied, "I wasn't drunk, Mom. After I rece
Valeria was so angry that she took her handbag and ran to the parking lot. Unbeknownst to her, Portia was waiting for her. She was sitting in the car playing games on her phone.As soon as she saw Valeria get in her car, Portia asked her brother to follow Valeria's car. Valeria didn't notice the car that was following her. Her heart was in a mess, and she was absent-minded.When they passed the area where there were no streetlights, Wayne overtook Valencia's car, then he stopped his car in front of her car. Valeria tried to swerve her car, but it was too late. She bumped into Wayne's car.Valeria was so scared that she sat in the car until someone knocked on her car's window. She lowered her car window and said, "I am so sorry. It wasn't my intention to bump into your car."Portia looked at her and said, "Get out of your car." Valeria took her phone from her handbag and tried to call her parents, but Portia grabbed her phone and said, "Are you deaf? I said get out of the car."Valeria'
When Sage saw that she couldn't move her father's heart, she looked at her Grandpa with pleading eyes and said, "I was wrong, Grandpa. Please forgive me. I want to change my last name to Taylor."Mrs Moore nodded her head and said, "I agree with your granddaughter, Mr Taylor. Please change her last name to Taylor. I made it clear to Caroline that I would never acknowledge Sage as my granddaughter. Therefore, you cannot force us to raise her."Mr Taylor was so disappointed in the Moore family and said, "It's impossible for Sage to change her last name to Taylor because it was her mother's wish for her to be raised as the Moore family child.Also, I don't believe that your daughter visited my son at work without your encouragement, Mrs Moore. Who told you that my son, Xavier, was born to marry your daughters?Are your daughters worthy of my son? I will never forgive your daughter for disrupting peace in my family. Who gave your daughter the confidence to bully the Taylor family? Are we e
The Moore couple's faces changed when they saw their daughter in the footage. They were more shocked when they saw their daughter ruthlessly slapping her niece. They didn't know that Valeria was so cruel.Mr Taylor senior looked at the Moore couple and asked, "Is this woman your daughter or not?"Mr Moore was so ashamed. He nodded his head and replied, "This is our daughter, Valeria. We were not aware that she had visited her niece. We apologize on her behalf for hurting my granddaughter."Mr Taylor senior sneered, "Where were you for the past five years? Did the Taylor family stop you from visiting your granddaughter?"Mr Moore was so ashamed and replied, "No. We decided to stay out of Sage's life because her mother lied to us."Mr Taylor senior looked at Mrs Moore and said, "You denied receiving a call from your daughter. However, in the footage, your daughter was talking with someone on the phone, and she called her 'Mom', weren't you?"Mrs Moore shook her head and replied, "I don't
Mrs Taylor wiped her tears, then she took her phone and called Mrs Moore. When it was connected; she said, "Valery, your daughter has assaulted my granddaughter.Please come to the Taylor mansion urgently. Should you fail to come; I will press assault charges against Valeria." She was so angry she didn't give Mrs Moore time to respond. Then she hung up.Mrs Moore was so scared of the Taylor family's wrath against her beloved daughter. Her son-in-law was ruthless. He put the Moore Group on its knees. She asked her husband to accompany her to the Taylor mansion.On their way to the Taylor residence, she called her daughter, Valeria, several times but the calls went straight to voicemail.At the Taylor mansion, Avery went to their bedroom and came back with the ointment. She gave it to her husband and said, "Honey, please apply this ointment to her face. It will help with the swelling."Xavier took the ointment and thanked his wife. Then she took Sage's medicine for pain and gave it to he
Xavier and the others were shocked when they heard Sage scream. He ran to her daughter's room. On the way, he made a silent prayer. He was praying for his beloved wife to be safe from his evil daughter.He walked to his wife and took her in his arms and asked, "What happened, my stunning wife?" Then he checked her from head to toe to see if she was injured. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she wasn't hurt.Sage nearly fainted with anger when she saw her beloved father ignoring her and hugging the evil woman. Avery looked at her husband with tears in her eyes and replied, "Sage is framing me. I didn't touch her."At that moment, Grandpa Taylor, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law entered the room. They looked at Sage's swelling face, then Grandpa Taylor asked, "What happened, my granddaughter in love?"Avery looked at her grandfather-in-law and replied, "Grandpa, Sage is accusing me of killing her mother. Also, someone beat her up, but she is framing me.She said she
