Michaela Ferguson had tears streaming on her face and she had blood in the corner of her lips. She shook her head and replied, “It wasn’t me. When I arrived at Shalom shopping mall, your mistress was already injured.” Her husband, Thorne Ferguson didn’t believe her and said, “Pray that Paula will not die because should she die, I will bury you and your family alive.” Then he pushed her hard, and Michaela staggered and fell to the ground. Michaela was in a sorry state. She cursed the day she first met Thorne Ferguson. She had been nothing but a good wife to him. However, her husband had been cold and cruel towards her. Her heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. Thorne looked at his wife with icy-cold eyes and said sternly, “I will never forgive you for touching the love of my life. Paula is my bottom line. I will make sure that you get a life sentence. Please pray hard for her not to die, because should she die I don’t know what I will do to you and your family.”
View MoreNaomi was taken aback by her brother’s question and retorted, “Isaac, why are you changing the topic? We are talking about the gifts, not my wedding.You are all ganging up on me because Doreen is dating a wealthy man. You are so shameless.”Her mother touched her hand and said softly, “Sweetheart, it is not your sister’s fault that her boyfriend didn’t give your fiancé a gift. For peace, please leave it alone.”Naomi shook her mother’s hand heavily and replied, “No, Mom. I won’t leave it alone. I want Big Brother to give my fiancé his gift. He doesn’t deserve that luxury watch.”Doreen laughed so loudly but there was no humour in it and asked, “Big sis, were you lying when you told us that Tristan was a doctor?”Naomi froze for a second, then calmed herself down and asked, “What nonsense are you babbling about?”Doreen looked at her parents and replied, “I was not going to involve myself in my sister’s private affairs, but I changed my mind. Today, I learned that Tristan is just a Ph
When the Bernie family heard that Doreen’s boyfriend would be visiting them, they were over the moon. They were looking forward to meeting Doreen’s first boyfriend.Doreen told her mother not to tell her siblings her boyfriend’s name because she wanted to surprise them. Her brother, Isaac, brought his wife, Imogen, to meet his brother-in-law. Her sister, Naomi, invited her fiancé, Tristan Scott.At 5:50, a doorbell rang. Isaac walked to the door and opened it. He was dumbfounded when he saw David and said, “Good afternoon, Mr May. Welcome to the Bernie family.” Then he ushered David into the living room.He was carrying luxurious gifts for everyone, from health supplements, jewelry, and boxes of chocolates. Doreen smiled brightly at her boyfriend, then she took the gifts and handed them to her mother.David greeted everyone with respect, then Doreen took his arm and sat on the sofa. Doreen’s parents looked at the outstanding handsome young man smiling from ear to ear. They were satisf
At Brian Chandler’s office, he was sitting on the sofa lost in thought. Sloane Ball will be appearing before the court to apply for bail at 2 pm. However, she didn’t have a lawyer to represent her.Brian took his phone and dialed Mr Ball’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, Mr Ball. How is Mrs Ball doing?”Mr Ball sighed and replied, “Hello, Mr Chandler. My wife is still in a coma. Thank you for thinking of us. I haven’t found time to look for another lawyer to help my daughter with a bail application yet.”Mr Chandler felt sorry for Mr Ball and said, “Don’t worry about your daughter, Mr Ball. I will represent her in court during the bail application.” Mr Ball thanked Mr Chandler profusely, then they hung up.When the Senior Prosecutor, Doreen Bernie, arrived in her office, she called Prosecutor Amelia Zibi into her office.Senior Prosecutor Bernie looked at Prosecutor Zibi and said, “Today is Miss Sloane Ball’s bail application hearing. She was arrested yesterday for per
At 6 am, David dialed His Own Image Boutique’s boss, Miss Joy Dube. When it was connected he said, “Hello, Miss Dube. Are you well?” Miss Dube indicated that everything was well with her.Then David asked her to prepare two dresses, shoes and handbags. He indicated that he would send his bodyguard, Graeme, to fetch the clothes. Then they hung up.Immediately, David dialed Graeme Avis’ number and asked him to fetch the clothes at His Own Image Boutique. Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower.At 7 am, he was handsome in a custom-made black suit with a red tie. At that moment, there was a knock on his door. He smiled broadly when he saw his grandfather and said, “Come in, Grandpa.”David led him to the sofa and said, “Good morning, Grandpa. Did you sleep well?” His grandfather beamed and replied, “Good morning, my precious grandson. I slept like a log. Thank you.My precious grandson, you have brought nothing but joy into our lives. Our hearts are full of gratitude to the Lord fo
After a hectic day, Doreen walked to the parking lot smiling. She was thinking about David’s handsome face. She thanked the Lord for giving her the desires of her heart. She got in the car and drove to her apartment.When Doreen arrived at her apartment, she rushed to her bedroom. She took off her clothes and wrapped herself with a towel, then she walked to the bathroom.Half an hour later, she walked to her closet and chose a blue custom-made knee-high dress. Then she applied light make-up. She wanted to be beautiful for her boyfriend. At 17:50, Doreen sat in the living room waiting for her beloved David. Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Doreen opened the door with a big grin on her face.David handed her a bouquet of red roses. Then he took her in his arms and kissed her on her forehead.Doreen flashed him a beautiful smile and said, "Thank you, Honey. I love them." Then she went to the kitchen to put the flowers in the vase.A few minutes later, David hugged his girlfriend’s
Sloane lowered her gaze to hide her emotions. She heard that Thorne and the others were struggling to allocate Mr Clive Rose’s whereabouts. Therefore, she decided to shift all the blame to him.Paula underestimated the height between the floors. She never thought that she would be seriously injured. So, they never discussed what would happen after they successfully framed Michaela.Sloane took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and replied, “Before Paula got injured, she told me to follow the mysterious man’s instructions to the tee.After I gave Paula the drugged water, Mr Rose took me to his car and instructed me to testify against Michaela.I was reluctant to testify because it was not my fight. However, he told me that Paula’s injury would be in vain should we fail to frame Michaela.Also, he indicated that no one would be able to restore the footage. How foolish I was.”Mr Chandler was fuming with anger and asked, “Did you ever think about your parents when you comm
Bryce Gardner was packing his stuff in a daze. Should he lose his job, he would never forgive Paula for putting it on the line. He didn’t even notice the security guard who was watching him like a hawk.In Jeff Cliff’s office, Jeff was cracking jokes with the security guard trying to suppress fear in his heart. His parents would be so disappointed in him because they knew him as principled.In the Cliff family, Mr and Mrs Cliff were blessed with three sons and a daughter. Jeff was the last born, and he was the first one to graduate from university. He was his parents' pride and joy.After Jeff and Bryce had left their offices, Doreen dialed the Chief of Police, Chief Smith’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Hello, Chief Smith. You are speaking to Doreen Bernie.I would like to press charges of perjury against Miss Sloane Ball. Chief Justice Sithole indicated that he wants Miss Ball to be arrested before the end of business.”Chief Smith nodded his head and replied, “Hello, Mis
Early in the morning, Doreen received a call from Chief Justice Sithole. He said, “Miss Bernie, I apologize for speaking harshly. I didn’t mean any harm. I was under a lot of stress. Please forgive me, Miss Bernie.”Doreen was not angry at Chief Justice Sithole. If he hadn't threatened her, maybe she would have missed her future husband or their meeting might have been delayed.When she thought about David's handsome face, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and replied, “It is water under the bridge, Chief Justice Sithole. Nothing happens by mistake in my life. What will happen next, Sir?”Chief Justice Sithole replied, “We will have an urgent Zoom meeting with Mr Gardener and Mr Cliff at 9 am to suspend them whilst we investigate this matter thoroughly.Also, we have to press charges against Miss Ball for perjury. I want to teach her a lesson that she will never forget.She is treating human life like grass. I heard that she bribed the inmates to torment Miss Michaela
After Doreen submitted the reports to Chief Justice Sithole she heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked the Lord for His faithfulness.David took Doreen’s hand and escorted her to the living room. He sat beside her and said, “Darling, my mother has been waiting years to meet her daughter-in-law. Do you mind if we visit her tomorrow?”Doreen was taken aback she didn’t expect her boyfriend to introduce her to her future mother-in-law so soon. She thought they would date for a few years before he introduced her to his family.She smiled at her boyfriend and replied, “Yes, I would love to meet her, David.” David took her hand into his arms and asked, “Sweetheart, could you please change the way you are addressing me?”Doreen smiled shyly at David and stammered, “Ho-ne-y.” David was so happy that he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. David released her when they were panting.Since it was late, David decided to drive his sweetheart to her apartment. He parked his car in her driv
At Shalom Shopping Mall, Michaela Ferguson was kneeling beside her husband’s mistress, Paula Cage, screaming, “Someone, call the ambulance.” Paula Cage’s body was covered with blood.Michaela quickly took Paula’s hand to check the pulse. She heaved a sigh of relief when she discovered that she was still alive. She quickly performed first aid while she was waiting for the ambulance.Since Ferguson Private Hospital was not far from the mall, the ambulance arrived fifteen minutes later. The paramedics placed Paula on the stretcher, and then they took her to the ambulance. Michaela followed them to the hospital.At the Ferguson Group, President Thorne Ferguson was buried in his work. He was extremely handsome with beautiful black eyes. He had a cold and ruthless aura.At that moment, President Ferguson’s Executive Secretary, Charles Brown, knocked on the door.
