Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
A few days later, after the Collins family heard the news of Mia's pregnancy, they went to Australia. Mia's mother and her mother-in-law were fussing over her. They treated her as a treasure.Mr Shelton Senior had asked his wife several times to go back to their home to no avail. She stated that she didn't want to leave her precious daughter-in-law with the helpers.What if something happened to her grandchildren? She was taking care of her daughter-in-law herself.In the blink of an eye, the Parker family had been in Australia for almost a month and they were reluctant to go back, especially Edwin; he was scared of his sister, Elizabeth. His sister wanted to destroy his family.Brad had offered to open the company for him in Australia to manage but he turned him down. He loved his country and his sister. He was praying that his evil sister didn't harm anyone in his absence.The time had arrived for the Parker family and the Collins family to go back home to South Africa. Mia hugged h
August looked at his wife with a hint of mockery in his eyes and asked, "How does it feel to be ignored by your beloved brother?" Elizabeth looked at her husband with eyes full of hatred, but she didn't utter a word.Edwin walked to the living room with his wife and his daughter laughing. Elizabeth felt that they were mocking her, she couldn't breathe. She felt suffocated.At that moment, the helpers informed them that food was being served. They washed their hands, and then they walked to the dining room. Butler Bruce was standing beside Mr Martins.Edwin looked at him and asked, "Butler Bruce, where is Aunt Rose?" Butler Bruce looked at Mrs Martins with disdain in his eyes and replied, "Mr Parker, please ask your sister."Edwin raised his eyes slightly at his sister, but Elizabeth ignored him. She started putting food on her plate. Edwin's face darkened and asked, "What happened, Elizabeth?"The atmosphere in the dining room became awkward. August decided to intervene and said, "Bro
Edwin didn't even look at her; he turned to his brother-in-law and said, "Please hand the divorce papers to Elizabeth. I don't want to leave you with this trash. She doesn't deserve you."August looked at his brother-in-law and replied, "I promised my daughter that I would not divorce Elizabeth yet. Elizabeth told Aiden that I wanted to divorce her because of Bridgette. I don't want to tarnish Bridgette's reputation."Edwin looked at his sister coldly and said, "You are so smart, you even managed to deceive your son. I am going to teach you a lesson.I am no longer going to Australia. I want you to feel the pain of knowing that I am just two hours' drive away, but you will never see or speak to me."Elizabeth's heart was in pain, it was as if someone was stabbing her heart. She looked at her brother with sorrow in her eyes, but she didn't utter a word. She didn't believe that her only brother would ignore her forever.Edwin went to the garden; he asked his daughter and his nephew to c
The sun was scorching hot, but the woman was washing clothes outside using the concrete washing basin. Sweat was streaming down her face.Her neighbour, Becky Sparrow, approached her smiling and said, “Tess, did you hear that Abigail’s son bought her a nice house in the suburbs?”Tess Bennet looked at her friend with jealousy written on her face and replied, “Becky, some people are lucky. I don’t like Abigail; she is full of herself because her son is a doctor.Don’t worry my friend; I heard that the municipality rates in the suburbs are very high. She will not have money to buy food and come back to the slums.”Becky was disappointed in her friend and replied, “Tess, we have to be happy for others. If the Lord opens the doors for them, maybe He will remember us and bless us too. Our children are doing well in school.I believe one day they will become great men and buy us beautiful houses in the suburbs as well. I have faith that my life will not stay like this forever.” Unbeknownst
At the Evans residence, Aunt Bridgette was sitting with Avery near the pool drinking a cool drink.She smiled at Avery and said, "We've been here for the whole month, I think it's time to go back home. Let's go back home after church. Your father missed you so much."Avery looked at Aunt Bridgette with sadness in her eyes and replied, "I missed him too, but I am not eager to go back home."Aunt Bridgette looked at her with worried eyes and asked, "Is it about your brother? I believe that he will see through your mother and apologize to you."Avery shook her head and replied, "Aiden approached me today at school. I was so happy, I thought I was forgiven, but it was my wishful thinking.He looked at me coldly and told me that Uncle Edwin cut ties with his mother because of me, and he would never forgive me for that."Aunt Bridgette was shocked to hear that because Uncle Parker loved his sister, Elizabeth, dearly and asked, "What happened?"Avery replied, "Aiden indicated that it was bec
Aunt Bridgette shook her head and replied, "When I was thirteen years old, I showed my landscape paintings to Uncle Martins. He told me that he would sell my paintings at an auction.One day, he asked my parents and me to follow him. He took us to the building at Umhlanga Rocks. He smiled brightly and told me that he liked my paintings a lot and bought me the art gallery. Then he asked me to name it.""My parents were shocked. They couldn't believe their ears. I cried so hard that day. My heart was full of gratitude for everything Uncle Martins had done for my family.From that day, His Faithfulness Art Gallery was birthed. Two months later, it was opened to the public. I auctioned my paintings for a few million rand. I became a millionaire at the age of thirteen and I was a billionaire when I was fifteen."Avery smiled brightly and said, "People will not believe me if I tell them that my nanny is a billionaire. Even my brother will think I am insane if I tell him.I don't know how to

Bridgette’s mother had tears in her eyes, it was hard saying goodbye.She hugged Aunt Rose tightly and said, “My dearest sister, this is your home. You are welcome here anytime.”Aunt Rose wiped her tears and replied, “Thank you for your hospitality; I am blessed to have you as my sister. Why don’t we meet every month, maybe for a weekend or a week?”Suzie smiled brightly and replied, “I like that, and it’s a date. Let’s make it a week.” Aunt Rose nodded her head, then she walked to her nephew’s car.Suzie hugged her beloved daughter and said, “I am so proud of you, my Sweetheart. I thank the Lord for blessing me with you. You have brought me nothing but joy in my life. I love you so much.”Bridgette smiled brightly at her mother and replied, “I love you more, Mommy. Thank you for showering me with love. You are the best mother ever.”Suzie took Avery in her a

On Sunday evening, Lily was in her bedroom with a glass of red wine in her hand.
