Someone knocked on her door before Avery responded. She smiled and stopped Aunt Bridgette from opening the door. She put on a gown on top of her pajamas, and then she walked to the door.She opened the door slightly and asked, “May I help you?” Her mother pushed her daughter hard. Avery staggered back for a few steps.Aunt Bridgette held her before she fell down. She looked at Elizabeth coldly as if she was giving her a warning.Mrs Martins was livid, “Didn’t I tell you to move your clothes to your nanny’s bedroom?”Avery smiled but it didn’t reach her eyes and asked, “In which capacity are you ordering me to leave my bedroom and move to my mother’s bedroom?”Her mother was taken aback when she heard Avery’s words. She glanced at Bridgette and said, “Is Lily not the daughter of your beloved uncle? How would he feel when he heard that you failed to treat her only daughter well?”Avery laughed out loud and said, “Mrs Martins, you have to practice what you preach. I have never seen you t
Lily was envious and jealous of Avery for having riches and being surrounded by people who loved her. She rolled her eyes and said mockingly, “You are so pathetic Avery.Are you trying to replace your mother with your nanny because your mother doesn’t love you? So, you are trying to buy your nanny’s love with food. I wonder who is the servant between the two of you.”Avery looked at Lily coldly and replied, “Miss Parker, you are nothing but a guest in my house. Whether your aunt loves me or not is none of your business. Is there a problem if I buy my Godmother's love with food?”Hope chuckled and said, “Don’t be mad, Miss Avery. She is jealous because the Martins family is richer than the Parker family.I heard that she ran away from home because her parents couldn’t afford to buy her a private jet. She has parents who love her the most, but she doesn’t appreciate them.”Lily looked at Hope, rolled her eyes, and replied, “I wasn’t speaking to the servant, who asked you to speak? Know y
At that moment, Butler Bruce walked to the kitchen. He looked at Lily and asked, “Miss Parker, where is everyone?” Lily indicated that they had gone back to their bedrooms.The aroma of smokiness and sweetness was still lingering in the air. He looked at the oven, but he couldn’t find the oven grill pan.Lily smiled faintly at him and said, “Do you mind preparing lunch for me? I didn’t eat breakfast.” Butler Bruce replied, “Who is to blame for that? Make it yourself.” Then he left the kitchen and went outside.Lily had never been in the kitchen before; she didn’t even know how to boil an egg. She was blaming her mother for failing to teach her how to cook. She felt inferior to Avery in every aspect.Mr Martins told Butler Bruce that he had ordered food from His Mercy restaurant to celebrate Youth Day. During dinner, everyone was wearing the school uniform except Mrs Martins and Lily. The atmosphere was more lively than usual.Mr Martins looked at Lily and asked, “Young lady, have you
Hope didn't sleep a wink, she was tossing and turning. Lily had opened the old wounds that were buried deep in her heart. Her pillows were wet with tears.She used to believe that time would heal a broken heart, but why was her heart still hurting?When she was young, she used to ask herself why her parents abandoned her. Hope was very pretty but no one adopted her until Mr Martins took her away from the orphanage when she was sixteen years old.The following day during breakfast, Mrs Martins looked at Lily and said, "Apologize." Lily looked at her aunt aggrieved and said, "I am sorry." Everyone looked at her, but they didn't utter a word.The atmosphere was tense. Mrs Martins looked at her husband and said, "August, I would like to apologize on behalf of my niece. She is still a child. Please forgive her."August sneered, "Elizabeth, I am sorry you are apologizing to the wrong person. She didn't hurt me."Elizabeth looked at her niece and said, "Sweetheart, you have to apologize to Ho
In the blink of an eye, it was time to go back home for Edwin and his wife. Paris was beautiful; they visited so many places and tasted different delicious food. However, there is no place like home.Edwin took his beautiful wife in his arms and said, "Sweetheart, I will treasure our beautiful memories deep in my heart. Thank you for being my wife and I love you so much. Thank you for not giving up on me when I wasn't a good husband to you."Cathy had tears in her eyes and replied, "I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing you to choose me to be your wife. You are such a beautiful soul, and I don't have a doubt in my mind that you are my destiny.I love you more, my handsome husband." She hugged her husband tightly.Her husband looked at her and asked, "What is the matter, my love?" Cathy smiled and replied, "I can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. However, I will be happy to enter the pearly gates with you beside me."Her husband hugged her tightly and replie
At 16:55 pm, the flight attendant asked the passengers to put their phones in airplane mode.A few minutes later, their flight departed from the airport. When they were approaching Africa, the fog was so thick, the pilot couldn't see clearly. The visibility was poor.At that moment, the pilot saw another flight coming straight towards them. He tried to descend but it was too late. The two airplanes collided in the mid-air. Four hundred passengers and the crew lost their lives.At 3 am, Mr Martins was still working in his study room. He saw the news headlines indicating that Air SA from Paris to South Africa had collided with another flight in mid-air.He was so shocked, he tried to use the phone, but it slipped. He felt suffocated, he couldn't breathe. His body was trembling. He took his phone and ran to his wife's bedroom. He even forgot to wear his shoes.Fortunately, the door was not locked. He woke up his wife and said, "Elizabeth, there was an accident." Elizabeth thought that her
After the Martins family had spoken to Mia, they realized that they would never see the lovely Parker couple again. Avery couldn't believe that she wouldn't see her beloved uncle ever again. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Uncle Edwin had showered her with love since she was born. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and it was unbearable. She felt suffocated, she couldn't breathe. Aunt Bridgette held her in her arms, trying to comfort her.When her father saw that his daughter was not in a good state of mind, he wiped his tears and replied, "Lily has blocked everyone she hates. Even yesterday, my brother-in-law called me indicating that they have tried to call her several times, but I think she had blocked them."Brad took the phone from his wife and said, "My condolences to the Martins family. My wife and I will be in South Africa the day after tomorrow to spend time with Lily. I hope she will allow us to be her guardians since her aunt is her only relative. How is Mrs Ma
After Air SA representatives left, Mr Martins called his Executive Secretary, Siyabonga Cele. When it was connected, he said, "Siya, my brother-in-law, Edwin Parker, and his wife are no more. Please send a communiqué about Mr Parker's passing.Mr Parker and his wife, Cathy, were on their way back home when their flight collided in mid-air with another flight. Further details will be announced in due course."Siyabonga was shocked to hear that. CEO Martins had asked him a couple of days ago to upgrade the Parker couple's seats to first class. He didn't know how to comfort his boss since CEO Martins loved his brother-in-law as his brother.Siyabonga said with sadness in his voice, "My deepest condolences go out to the Martins family. May the Lord give you strength and guide you when you are preparing for your loved one's funeral." CEO Martins thanked him, and then they hung up.Afterwards, Mr Martins called the Ebenezer hotel manager, Mr Oliver Turner, to tell him about Mr Parker and hi

Men were praising the young lady's beauty.During the proposal, a young lady looked at her boyfriend and said, "Honey, please promise me that you will propose to me with that engagement ring."Her boyfriend looked at his girlfriend with gentleness in his eyes and replied, "Sweetheart, I promise. I will place an order today." They watched the commercial until the end because they wanted to see the jewelry company's name.They were waiting in anticipation for the jewelry company's name. However, instead of the jewelry company's name, there were the couple's names. To their dismay, the engagement banquet and the wedding ceremony dates appeared at the end.Th
At the Evans mansion, Suzie was resting in her husband's arms in their bedroom. They were talking about Avery and Xavier's proposal. She was over the moon. She sent her a text message congratulating her.Her God granddaughter had been through a lot, and she deserved to be happy. She thanked the Lord for removing Jordan Bennet from Avery's life.After receiving Avery's engagement video clip, Suzie posted it on her group chat. She added her brother's family to her social media to maintain a good relationship with her youngest brother.At that moment, she received a call from her sister-in-law. She was surprised because she had never called her before. She smiled faintly and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. Is everyone well at home?"Her sister-in-law sneered, "Did you lie to my daughter when you told her that your God granddaughter was married to the young Mr Taylor? Do you think your God granddaughter is better than my daughter?"A surge of anger rose in Suzie's heart, and she asked, "What
In the early hours of the morning, Xavier looked at his lovely wife who was sleeping peacefully. He didn't want to wake her up. However, he promised to wake her up to watch the magnificent sunrise.Xavier started kissing his wife. Avery smiled and kissed her husband back. He whispered in her ears and said, "Good morning, Sweetheart. Let's go to the balcony to catch the sunrise."Avery opened her eyes and replied, "Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?" Xavier indicated that he slept well. Then he took the warm nightgown, handmade mink fur hat, gloves and scarf from the closet.He looked at his wife gently and said, "I don't want you to catch a cold." Then he helped his wife wear warm clothes. Her husband's love enveloped her like a warm embrace.They walked to the balcony a few minutes later and sat on the sofa. They covered themselves with a blanket. Xavier smiled brightly at his wife and handed the camera to her to capture nature's beauty.At that moment, the majestic sun slowl
Even though Xavier and Avery had already registered their marriage, Xavier didn't want his beloved wife to miss any stages.On Friday, after he dropped his wife off at work, he visited his father-in-law at work to tell him that he would be proposing to his wife on Saturday.He indicated that he wanted the whole world to know how blessed he was to marry the most beautiful girl on the planet. Also, he wanted Aunt Elizabeth and her precious niece, Lily to be green with envy.His father-in-law was over the moon when he saw the delicate and exquisite engagement ring. His heart was full of gratitude to the Lord for blessing the Martins family with such an outstanding son-in-law.Xavier thanked Director Stanley and the film crew then he took his wife away. Avery was so happy that she was smiling from ear to ear. Her beloved husband had put a smile on her face. Since she met her husband, she had always been smiling.She wished when the Lord had created a human being had put a rewind button or
Avery shook her head, smiling from ear to ear. Xavier chuckled and pressed her to the bed. She was kissed passionately, and her mind became blank. Her husband smiled and said, "Let's continue tonight, my stunning wife."Avery sat on the bed in a daze. She was captivated by her husband's well-defined body. Xavier kissed her on her lips and said, "Sweetheart, please help me with my tie." Avery snapped back to her senses and helped her husband.She quickly applied a light make-up and wore black stilettos. Xavier took his wife's heirloom necklace and helped her to wear it. Avery smiled sweetly at her husband. Then she took the heart-shaped 1001 Nights Diamond Purse.Xavier whistled and said, "You are so gorgeous, my stunning wife. I want to hide you." Avery giggled and thanked her husband. She was stunning in a knee-high burgundy dress showcasing her curvy body and long legs.Xavier looked at his wife with eyes full of love and said, "Sweetheart, I arranged with the Taylor Jewelry Chief d
On Thursday evening, Xavier was in his grandfather's bedroom. He smiled at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I will propose to your granddaughter in love on Saturday.Then I will put my proposal video on the LED billboards around Durban. Aunt Elizabeth told my wife that no one would love her. I want to show her that she was wrong. The Taylor family loves and cherishes her."His Grandpa was over the moon. He walked to the closet and took the red velvet box into his safe. He then handed an exquisite velvet box to his precious grandson. Xavier took the velvet box with two hands.Xavier opened the velvet box, and he fell in love with the engagement ring. He looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I don't have enough words to thank you. This engagement ring is beyond gorgeous. Thank you so much, Grandpa."The twenty-five-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring was sitting in an exquisite velvet box. White diamonds surrounded it down the side of the band. It was rare and exquisite.
CEO Martins was in his office at the Martins Group. His eyes were fixed on his daughter's wedding invitation card, which was sitting quietly on his desk. The wedding invitation card was addressed to his ex-wife, Elizabeth Parker.Initially, Avery wanted to send the wedding invitation card to her estranged mother by courier, but her father volunteered to hand-deliver it. He wanted a distraction.His mind was occupied by a beautiful young lady. When she was in his arms dancing at Bridgette's engagement banquet, it felt right. He didn't want the song to end.He tried to remove her in his mind, but he failed dismally. He loved everything about her. When she smiled, all the sadness in his heart just dissipated.During the wedding reception, he held her in his arms again. He nearly confessed his love to her. Mr Martins shook his head. He had never thought that he would fall that hard for the woman who was so young.Caia Ford was thirty years old, but she looked like a twenty-five-year-old. S
At 11 am, Aunt Elizabeth and her niece arrived at the CCMA. They walked to the reception to register their name, and they mentioned the case name. The receptionist asked them to take a seat.Sierra was already there waiting for them. Elizabeth approached her, smiling and said, "Sierra, I apologize for my niece's behaviour. Please forgive her. Also, your job is still waiting for you."Before Sierra responded, Lily looked at Sierra coldly and said, "What? Over my dead body. Don't even think about it. You are not allowed to set foot in my house." Sierra smiled at Lily mockingly as if she were a clown.At that moment, the Commissioner called out their names. Then they followed her to the conciliation room.She looked at them and said, "Please take a seat. My name is Commissioner Steyn. I will be listening to your case.Should we fail to settle, we will go straight to the arbitration hearing. Mrs Rogers, please tell us about the case."Sierra looked at Commissioner Steyn and said, "My name
On Sunday, around 6 pm, Elizabeth requested an Uber and went to Havana Club to fetch her niece. Lily had been missing in action since Saturday morning. She left the Martins mansion without uttering a word to her beloved aunt.Elizabeth was so worried that she couldn't sleep a wink. As a result, she had bags under her eyes. She used a lot of make-up to hide them.When she arrived at the Havana Club, she approached the bartender. He smiled at her and asked, "How may I help you, Auntie?" Aunt Elizabeth smiled and replied, "I am looking for Lily Parker."The bartender called one of the security guards and asked him to call Lily. A few minutes later, the security guard came back with Lily.Her eyes were red, indicating that she was sleep deprived. She looked at her aunt, annoyed, and asked, "What are you doing here, Auntie?"Aunt Elizabeth replied, "I am here to take you home. Let's go."
