It was Christmas Eve, and it was raining cats and dogs. At the Martins residence in Mount Edgecombe Estates, South Africa, the atmosphere was tense. August Martins was sitting at the edge of the bed looking at his stunning wife with tender eyes.His gaze was filled with love and affection. August Martins had a calm and graceful aura. His beloved wife, Elizabeth Martins, was breathtakingly beautiful. Elizabeth's eyes were red, brimming with tears. Her husband tried to coax her to no avail."August, I've told you several times that I don't want this baby, but you forced me to keep it. You promised to find a full-time nanny for her, but to date, I haven't seen anyone, and I am due anytime from now."His wife, Elizabeth Martins, was leaning on the headboard; she was thirty-seven weeks pregnant. She then started sobbing.August's heart ached when he saw his wife crying. He tried to hold his wife's hand, but she slapped him.He smiled and said, "Honey, I will bring my daughter's nanny to th
When Mr Martins arrived home, there was no one in the living room. Butler Bruce told him that Mrs Martins was in their bedroom. He walked to his bedroom to check on his wife. His wife was sitting on the sofa reading the fashion magazine.She looked at her husband and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to see me anymore? What are you doing here?"Her husband sat next to her smiling. He tried to hug her, but she pushed him off. Her husband wasn't angry at her and replied, "Sweetheart, let's stop fighting. I promised I would find a nanny for our little dumpling."His wife sneered, "August, I told you that I didn't want to be involved in your daughter's life. Please spare me the details. What I want to see is the nanny. That's all. Don't ask me to bathe or to feed her because I hate her. She destroyed our love."August was taken aback when he heard his wife's words and said, "My love, hate is a strong word. Our daughter didn't destroy our love but lies destroyed our love.When I fell i
In the blink of an eye, it was the Art Exhibition Day. Mr Martins had asked his wife to accompany him to the Art Exhibition, but she refused.He wanted to take her out to meet new people and the Evans family. However, his wife was not interested to meet anyone while she was pregnant.August was sitting on the sofa in their bedroom looking at his beautiful wife with gentle eyes and said, "My love, have you changed your mind about not accompanying me? What if someone steals me from you?" Elizabeth glared at him, but she didn't utter a word.At that moment, Elizabeth's phone started ringing. When she saw the caller ID she smiled brightly and said, "Hello big brother, is everything alright?"Her brother, Edwin Parker replied smiling, "Baby sister, I have great news to tell you. Your sister-in-law was in labour this morning. The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful daughter."Elizabeth screamed and said, "Congratulations big brother, I am so happy for you. Please send my niece's photo. I w
On Monday morning, Mr Evans visited Mr Martins' office with his daughter in tow dragging her two suitcases. Mr Martins was so happy to see them and said smiling, "What a pleasant surprise." Mr Evans smiled and replied, "I have found a nanny for you."Mr Martins was overjoyed, he looked around, but he didn't see anyone. He looked at Paul and asked, "When is she coming to see me? My wife will give birth anytime now."Bridgette replied smiling, "I will be your baby's nanny, Uncle Martins." Mr Martins was so shocked, then he shook his head and said, "Bridgette, I will not allow you to abandon your career. Your business is doing well."Bridgette smiled brightly and replied, "Uncle Martins, I have made arrangements with my assistants, they will take care of my gallery." August looked at Paul and asked, "Why don't you talk sense to your daughter?"Paul smiled and replied, "My wife and I are 100% behind her. Please don't try to change her mind."Uncle Martins looked at Bridgette with worried
Mr Martins asked Butler Bruce to protect Bridgette from his wife. Then he told him that Bridgette would eat with them because she was his guest.Butler wasn't surprised when he heard Mr Martins' words because he was aware of the relationship between Mr Martins and the Evans family.When Aunt Rose and Bridgette returned to the house, Mrs Martins was still in the living room watching television.Bridgette wanted to go to her bedroom to rest but she decided against it. She walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. Mrs Martins looked at her with disdain in her eyes and said, "What are you doing in my house?"Bridgette was taken aback and replied smiling, "Auntie, I am here to help Uncle Martins with the baby." Mrs Martins was so furious and said, "Who are you calling Auntie? Please leave my house immediately."Bridgette laughed out loud and replied, "I'm sorry, Auntie, but you don't have the authority to chase me away. I am calling you Auntie out of respect for Uncle Martins, but you
Mrs Martins was so angry she wanted to slap Bridgette hard across her face. Her eyes turned red, and then she took a knife and rushed to Bridgette. She wanted to kill her.Bridgette remained calm and looked at Aunt Elizabeth as if she was a clown. Aunt Elizabeth was no match for her.Mrs Martins was about to stab Bridgette but someone held her tightly. Elizabeth was so scared when she smelled the familiar scent.What was her husband doing at home? Her husband used to drop everything to accompany his wife for lunch. However, she didn't appreciate that she was disrespectful to him. Then he stopped coming home for lunch.Her husband took the knife from his wife's hand and asked, "What are you doing Elizabeth? Are you insane?"Elizabeth struggled in her husband's arms. She turned around and looked at her husband coldly, "Why, did your heart ache because I tried to kill your mistress?"Her husband was so angry and sneered, "Elizabeth, please don't embarrass the Martins family. Have I ever
On Thursday morning around 5 am, Elizabeth shook her husband and said, "August, wake up." Her husband woke up immediately, he was so scared when he saw that the bed was wet and asked, "Love, are you in labour?"Elizabeth nodded her head and said, "August, take me to the hospital quickly the baby is coming."August jumped out of bed, he put the bathrobe on top of the pajamas then he ran to the closet and took his wife's dress.He quickly changed his wife's clothes, and then he carried her in his arms and headed down to the living room. He shouted Butler Bruce's name.Fortunately, Butler Bruce was already awake; he rushed to his boss's side. "Take us to the hospital, my wife is in labour."When Aunt Rose heard Mr Martins' voice she dressed up quickly and went to the living room. Mr Martins told her that his wife was in labour. He asked her to tell Bridgette to accompany them to the hospital.Bridgette was in a deep slumber when she heard Aunt Rose calling her name. She went to the door
Bridgette smiled brightly at Mr Martins and said, "Uncle Martins, you don't have to stay here with us. Also, my mother is coming to keep us company. I promise to call Aunt Rose if something happens."Uncle Martins was moved by Bridgette's words and replied, "Bridgette, I am so grateful that you are here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for availing yourself to help us. Since your mother is coming, I will leave when she arrives."Bridgette smiled and replied, "It's my pleasure, Uncle Martins. This is nothing, compared to what you have done for me and my family. I will be eternally grateful to the Lord for the Martins family."Mr Martins was very busy, but he was reluctant to leave Bridgette alone with the baby. Since Bridgette didn't have any experience of being a nanny. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mrs Evans would visit them.He canceled all his scheduled meetings, but he couldn't move the meeting with the Department of Water representatives. He was told that

A few minutes later, their Private Jet departed from the airport.Avery smiled sweetly at her husband and said, "I like the design of your Private Jet a lot. Where are we going, my love?" Xavier kissed her on top of her head and replied, "It's a surprise, my stunning wife."Avery cupped his handsome face in her hands and kissed him. Xavier smiled and said, "Sweetheart, Uncle Keith cannot wait to marry my mother-in-law. When Grandpa told me about the Evans family's betrothal gifts, I changed the date of our return.We will be coming back on Saturday evening instead of Sunday evening. The Taylor family will be visiting the Evans family on Sunday."Avery was overjoyed when she heard her hus
Even though Keith had a calm aura, he was nervous inside and replied smiling, "Nice to meet you, Dad. Xavier took after my father. He has an intimidating aura; I think I took after my late mother."Then he handed the boutique of Tulips to his mother-in-law and said, "Nice to meet you, Mom. Avery told me that Tulips are your favourite flowers."Mrs Evans smiled and replied, "Pleasure is mine, Son. Thank you for the flowers. I like them a lot." Bridgette took her mother's flowers and went to the kitchen to put them in the vases.Prince Sam, Mrs Evans' bodyguard, walked into the kitchen to help Bridgette. He smiled at her and whispered, "Bridge, your boyfriend is handsome." Bridgette smiled brightly, then she asked him to carry the dishes to the dining room.Bridgette smiled at her parents and said, "Lunch is served." They went to the dining room to eat. Mrs looked at her son-in-law while he was eating. He was graceful and noble. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the food was delicious.
Caroline took her phone and dialed Valery's number. When it was connected, she put it on speaker and said, "Hello, Valery, it's been five years since you have saw your granddaughter. Why are you not visiting Sage?"Mrs Moore was still upset at the Taylor family for causing their business bankruptcy. They became a laughingstock. She sneered, "Caroline, I don't have anything to do with your granddaughter. Her late mother, Valencia, lied to us.She promised my beloved daughter, Valeria, that she would marry her husband when she was gone. However, on her deathbed, she told her husband not to marry Valeria.For that, I will never forgive her. I don't want to see the daughter of a liar. You can keep her.I will never acknowledge her as my granddaughter. Caroline, please don't ever call me again. I don't have anything to do with your granddaughter." Then she hung up.Sage was so shocked she started crying. She looked at her great-grandfather and said, "I am sorry, great grandpa. Aunt Getty li
Xavier excused himself, then he took his wife to the garden to talk. They sat on the stone bench facing the flower garden. Xavier started to panic; his wife was too quiet. He looked at his wife and said, "My stunning wife, I am sorry from the bottom of my heart.Sweetheart, I promise that I will never allow Sage or the Moore family to come between us. I love you so much and my life will be meaningless without you. Please, my love, don't be mad at me."Avery looked at her husband with sadness in her eyes and replied, "I don't want to lie, my love. I am shaken by Sage's hatred.Loving you is so easy, and I love your family because I love you deeply. My handsome husband, there is no reason for me to pretend because I already have you. So, my heart ached when Sage said I was pretending to like her.When Sage told me that she hated me because I replaced her mother in your heart, I was reminded of my brother, and it hurt. What would happen if one day Sage asked you to choose between me and h
In the parking lot, August and Paul were laughing and chatting after church. August smiled at his friend and said, "Congratulations on getting a brand-new son-in-law, my dearest friend. Keith is a good man.Even though the Taylor family is very wealthy, they don't look down on people. Also, Caroline will be there to guide Bridgette. She is kind-hearted and a good woman."Paul heaved a sigh of relief. He was scared that his beloved daughter would be despised by the Taylor family because the Evans family was not as wealthy as them.Paul thanked August and asked, "Does Elizabeth know about my God granddaughter's husband? He is so handsome."August shook his head and replied, "She doesn't know, my friend. Also, I asked John to hide this matter until the Gala. I am scared that she would do anything to sabotage my daughter's happiness.In her eyes, only her precious niece deserves good things. I will divorce Elizabeth after Avery's wedding, Paul. The only reason I stayed in this sham of a ma
