The reception was lively; Sandy was dancing with her best friend Cathy. Her father and her brother, Luke, approached them. Her father reached out his hand beaming. Sandy took her father's hand, and they started dancing.Cathy was about to leave the stage when Luke took her hand. He smiled broadly and said, "Beautiful, may I have this dance please?"Cathy smiled at him and replied, "Luke, when are you going to introduce my sister-in-law to me?" Luke's smile faded and said, "Cathy, I haven't found someone who has touched my heart deeply yet." Then they started dancing.When Edwin came back from the bathroom, he looked around to locate his wife. He was so jealous when he saw his wife in Luke's arms.On their wedding day, Luke didn't hide that he had feelings for Cathy. He looked at him in his eyes and said, "If you ever make Cathy unhappy, I will snatch her away from you."Edwin laughed out loud because he never thought that that day would ever come. However, when he saw his beloved wife
Pastor Andrews looked at Edwin with confusion in his eyes and asked, "Mr Parker, I don't understand, why did you bring your wife here?"Edwin scratched his head and replied, "Pastor Andrews, at the wedding I thought I could be able to put my wife as my first priority but deep down in my heart my sister comes first.Elizabeth is the only family I have, and it is impossible for me to ignore her. My wife can leave me anytime but not my family. I am sorry I wasted your time, Pastor."Then he stood up, he was about to leave when he heard Pastor Andrews' words then he stopped."Son, your wife told me that she was raised by the Prince family. How would you feel if every time Luke calls her, she drops everything and rushes to him to repay them for raising her?"Edwin looked at Pastor Andrew and replied, "I will be very upset because they are not blood related. Also, Luke has feelings for my wife."Pastor Andrews laughed and said, "Did you tell your sister about the wedding trip? Is it a coinc
Last Saturday, Avery was playing in the flower garden alone. She fell in love with Blue Iris flowers. They were rare and delicate. Since she was sitting down on the ground, the helpers didn't see her.She overhead the helpers talking, "I don't understand Mrs Martins; she is so cruel to her daughter. If Mr Martins wasn't with her when she was giving birth to their daughter, I would swear that Avery wasn't her daughter."Then the other helper replied, "I heard that she conceived Avery by mistake. She had asked the hospital to block her fallopian tubes, but she fell pregnant again. I am so sad for little Avery. She doesn't deserve a mother like that."The first helper indicated that even though Avery was conceived by mistake, her mother was supposed to love her because she was already in her womb. She was so disappointed in her Madam.Then they walked to the house. Avery had tears in her eyes when she heard the helpers' words. Half an hour later, she walked to her bedroom, and she didn't
Edwin couldn't sleep because he had a lot on his mind. He walked to his bathroom to take a shower. When he was done washing up, he couldn't find towels in the bathroom. His wife washed the towels and she forgot to replace them.He called his wife to bring the towel but there was no response. It dawned on him that his wife was in Australia. His heart sank, and then he decided to walk out of the bathroom naked since he was alone in the house.He changed into a T-shirt and jeans. He missed his wife so much. He took his phone and called his wife. It was ringing for a long time, but his wife didn't pick it up. He tried several times to no avail. He decided to send a text message.His stomach started rumbling, he went to the kitchen to make food. He quickly made a sandwich and a cup of coffee. He went to the living room with his food and opened the news channel.He nearly fainted when he saw the news headlines. It was written in bold, 'Boeing 600 flight from OR Tambo International airport t
He looked at his sister with sadness and said, "Elizabeth, your sister-in-law visited her friend, Mia, in Australia without my permission. I don't know what to do. Should I go to Australia to fetch her, or should I divorce her? What do you think?"Elizabeth was so happy to hear that and replied smiling, "Why did you marry her in the first place, since I was against you marrying her? She doesn't deserve you. I think it would be great if you divorced her and fought for my niece's custody."Edwin couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. He looked at his sister with questioning eyes and said, "Elizabeth, did you hurt your daughter on purpose because you wanted to stop us from attending the wedding?"Elizabeth looked at her brother and replied, "My brother is so smart. Of course, do you think I will allow you to waste our money with her? Do you think I married August for love? I wanted us to have a comfortable life.I warned you against marrying Cathy, but you didn't listen. I don't even see w
After his sister left, Edwin took his phone and dialed his brother in law's number and said smiling, "Brother-in-law, I hope all is well with you and your family.I promised my wife that we would visit her friend in Australia three months ago, but the trip was postponed because of my sister's behaviour. Is it possible for me to take a vacation leave to spend time with my wife?"His brother-in-law smiled and replied, "We are all well and your niece was discharged from hospital today. Brother-in-law, I am sorry for causing trouble between you and your wife.Also, I apologize for calling you on Friday knowing full well that you were on your way to your wife's friend's wedding. My mind went blank when my wife hurt my daughter."He took a sip of his tea and said, "Please accompany your wife, brother-in-law. I will arrange for someone to act in your place. Send my regards to your lovely wife and my niece."Edwin thanked his brother-in-law and replied, "Brother-in-law, I will bring my sister
After breakfast, Edwin told his brother-in-law that he wasn't going back to Richards Bay. He indicated that he would catch a flight from King Shaka International airport.His brother-in-law excused himself and went to his son's bedroom. Aiden was still sleeping. His father smiled and said, "Wake up sleepy head." Aiden looked at his father with sleepy eyes and said, "Good morning, Daddy."His father smiled brightly at him, then he picked him up and said, "Good morning, Son. Did you sleep well?"Aiden wasn't a morning person. He just nodded his head. His father walked to his son's bathroom with him in his arms. He put him down, and then he filled up the bathtub.He looked at his sleepy son who was standing with his eyes closed and asked, "Don't you want to pee before you wash up?"Aiden shook his head, then his father undressed him and started washing him up. He wrapped the bath towel around his son and walked out of the bathroom. A few minutes later, Aiden was dressed neatly in his sch
Bridgette was surprised to see Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Edwin. She greeted them with a smile and said, "Uncle Parker, is your family well?" Edwin told her that his wife and daughter had visited their friends in Australia.Then Bridgette greeted Mr Martins who was already in the living room waiting for his daughter. Then Bridgette went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Avery.Uncle Edwin was so happy to see his niece. When he looked at his niece, he was reminded of his late mother. His eyes brimmed with tears; he hugged his stunning niece and asked, "How are you feeling, my beautiful niece?"Avery smiled sweetly at him and replied, "I am much better, Uncle Edwin. Thank you for asking. How are you, my handsome uncle?"He told his niece that he was well. Avery didn't even look at her mother. Edwin looked at his sister coldly and asked, "Elizabeth, don't you want to say something to my niece?"Elizabeth looked at her brother aggrieved, and she shook her head. Why should she apologiz
Mr Taylor Senior and his granddaughter-in-love walked onto the stage. He smiled brightly and said, "Good evening, everyone, thank you so much for the contribution you have made to the Taylor Group. Without you, we wouldn't be here.I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my lovely family." Then the Taylor family went to the stage and stood next to him. Xavier stood next to his wife; Avery smiled sweetly at him.Lily looked at the stage, her eyes glued on Xavier. Her heart was racing so fast. She held her aunt's arm and said, "Auntie, please introduce me to young Mr Taylor. He is so handsome, and he is my type."Her aunt looked at her niece and replied, "I will surely introduce you to him. I don't understand why Avery is still standing there. She is just a doctor, not a family member. She is such an embarrassment."Mrs Martins looked at her husband and said, "August, go and fetch your precious daughter before she embarrasses the Martins family. Look at her, she is seducing y
On the Saturday morning after breakfast, Xavier smiled at his wife and said, "I arranged for His Mercy Wellness Spa massage therapists to come here to pamper you guys." Avery smiled sweetly at her husband and thanked him.At that moment, Butler Blake indicated that the massage therapists had arrived. The ladies were over the moon. Caia led the ladies to the room, which had massage tables and other spa equipment. After the massage, the ladies felt rejuvenated and relaxed.Around 2 pm, the best stylist team arrived at the Taylor mansion. They were ushered to the salon. Shortly afterwards, His Own Image Boutique boss, Miss Joy Dube, arrived with her assistants carrying stunning custom-made gowns.At 5 pm, Xavier hugged his wife's waist and walked to the driveway, followed by the Shelton couple.

Caroline smiled and replied, "I don't have full-time helpers, Mia. They come twice a week to ensure that the guest rooms and the yard are taken care of.Due to my paternal family experience, I don't allow them to enter my family's bedrooms. Our laundry is done by the hotel's housekeeper. I take care of my loved ones.The Grant family was very wealthy, my grandfather was the CEO of the Grant Group, and my grandmother was the Deputy CEO. My grandfather wanted my grandmother to be a housewife, but she refused.When my dad was five years old, my grandfather divorced my grandmother because he felt that everything was done by a helper. So, he felt that the helper catered to his needs more than my grandmother.He then married the helper, who was my grandmother's cousin. My grandmother tried to save her marriage by asking her aunt to intervene. However, my grandmother was told that her cousin was already pregnant.Everyone was dumbfounded. Avery hugged her mother-in-law, but she didn't know w
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
