Michaela wiped her tears and replied, “On my eighteenth birthday, my parents invited influential people to celebrate my birthday and Thorne was among them. I am so sorry, Storm, I thought he was you.Thorne’s first love came back six months ago, and they turned my life upside down.Paula asked me to meet her at Shalom Shopping Mall. Against my better judgment, I agreed to meet her.When I arrived at the mall, she was already injured. However, Thorne accused me of pushing the love of his life.Since the surveillance footage was destroyed, Paula’s best friend, Sloane Ball, testified that she saw me pushing Paula. However, it was a lie. Then I was sentenced to twenty years in prison for a crime I didn’t commit.”Storm looked at Michaela with eyes full of love and said, “Sweetheart, I will do everything in my power to take you out of here. I will find a hacker who will be able to restore the surveillance footage.”Michaela looked at Storm with tears in her eyes and said, “Storm, please fo
Storm looked at Mr Miller and replied, “Uncle Miller, I am sorry for not coming earlier to visit Michaela. I just heard the news about her being in prison yesterday.Michaela has been so worried about your safety. She asked me to take you away with me. She is scared that Thorne might harm you should Miss Cage pass away.”Mrs Miller’s heart was moved to tears. Her daughter was still thinking of them even in prison. Mr Miller smiled at Storm and asked, “Where do you live, Son?”Storm told them that his mother immigrated to America after she divorced his father. Mr Miller nodded and said, “We don’t want to add stress to our daughter. Therefore, we will go with you. When are we leaving, Son?”Storm was happy to hear that and replied, “We will leave tomorrow morning. I want to introduce you to my grandfather. Would you mind spending the night at the Saxon family mansion?”Mr Miller breathed a sigh of relief when Storm told them he would take them far away from Thorne. His wife had sleeples
Storm smiled broadly and replied, “I am in the entertainment industry, Uncle. When I was young, modeling agencies and film directors approached my mother offering her contracts and requesting me to enter the entertainment industry.My mother would decline every time. She indicated to them that she wanted me to be a child. Also, we didn’t lack money.When I was ten years old, she told me that she didn’t want the Ferguson family to find out about me because they might take me away from her.When I was fourteen years old, I decided to enter the entertainment industry by establishing the Harvest Group.”The Harvest Group had overwhelming power and strength. None of the other entertainment companies in the USA could compare to the Harvest Group.Amanda was grinning from ear to ear. She was very impressed. It was her dream to grace the international stage. She felt that her dream might come true.She smiled brightly and asked, “Mr Saxon, is Director Samuels from the Harvest Group? I like hi
Aunt Judy and Penny were drinking tea at the Saxon estate in Malibu. The estate was a breathtaking paradise. It was overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean. It took Storm five years to build this masterpiece.The Saxon estate was the epitome of prestige and architectural excellence. It was huge and had ten spacious bedrooms, two study areas, two living rooms, two dining rooms, a prayer room, a cinema, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.The interior design was done by Storm’s mother, Judy, and it was screaming luxury. She turned the estate into a captivating masterpiece.The garden was meticulously landscaped with a fountain. It had an entertainment area and a tennis court.Penny smiled brightly at Aunt Judy and asked, “Auntie, is my engagement ring beautiful?”Aunt Judy looked at Penny’s finger and replied beaming, “Congratulations, my dearest daughter. Your engagement ring is stunning. Are you going to invite your family to your wedding?”Penny furrowed her beautiful brows and said, “My
At the Ferguson Group, during lunchtime, Thorne was looking at the food in front of him with disdain. For the past two years, his mother had delivered delicious food to his office without fail.However, since he sent Michaela to prison, she stopped delivering food to him and it hurt. He had been craving his mother’s food for a long time. He never thought that his beloved mother would turn her back on him because of an outsider. Even his childhood friend, David, cut ties with him because of Michaela. Was he wrong to avenge the love of his life?Thorne felt that Judge Harris was too lenient towards Michaela. Twenty years in prison would not bring back his son. He wished that he could go to prison and strangle his worthless ex-wife.Thorne hesitated, but he mustered his courage and dialed his mother’s number. When it was connected, he asked, “Mom, why did you stop preparing lunch for me? Even though the Ferguson family has disowned me, I am still your son.”His mother had a confused expr
Penny was in her office in a daze. She tried sketching a dress for her client, but her mind went blank. Her father’s hateful and cruel words were still ringing in her ears.Her family hurt her deeply. Every time she sees Aunt Judy's relationship with her son, Storm, Penny becomes jealous. Aunt Judy had showered her son with love, and Storm was the apple of his mother's eye.At that moment, her assistant, Tina Oaks, entered her office. She smiled at her boss and asked, “What is wrong, Penny? Why are you crying?”Penny didn’t even realize that she was crying. She wiped her face with a tissue and replied, “I was thinking about my family who abandoned me. I have been an obedient daughter since childhood, but I failed to capture their hearts.”Tina comforted her and said, “I am sorry, my dearest. However, I am glad that you are surrounded by people who love you. Penny, please send me my dreamboat photo. Looking at his photo will be enough for me.”Penny laughed out loud and asked, “Why don
Penny tried to work but she couldn’t concentrate. She took her handbag and went to Ives Clinton’s Penthouse. He was working at home that day because he was finalizing the project.When she arrived at his Penthouse she looked at him and asked, “Ives, please be honest with me. Do you love me?”Ives looked at his fiancée for a long time and asked, frowning, “Sweetheart, what is going on? Are you having second thoughts about me?”Then he tried to hold her in his arms but Penny dodged. She looked at him with questioning eyes.Ives furrowed his brows and asked, “What is wrong with you, Sweetheart? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?”Penny’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she said, “My family is saying you don’t love me, and you are marrying me out of obligation. Is that true, Ives?”Ives couldn’t believe his ears that he laughed. He became frustrated, but he managed to suppress his anger.When he saw tears in his fiancée’s eyes, his heart ached, and replied, “No, it’s n
When Storm and others arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, Owen and his bodyguards were waiting for them. Owen was carrying a placard with Storm’s name beaming with joy.Owen smiled broadly when he saw Grandpa Saxon. He hugged him tightly, grinning from ear to ear, and said, “Grandpa, welcome back to the USA. How are you doing?”Grandpa Saxon smiled brightly and replied, “Hello, my grandson. All is well with me. How are you doing?”Owen smiled and replied, “All is well with us too, Grandpa. My dad will be happy to see you.”Storm chuckled, and then he hugged his best friend tightly. He introduced Michaela's parents to him. Owen greeted them with respect.The bodyguards took their luggage and led them to the parking lot. Standing quietly in the parking lot was the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 SUV. The bodyguards opened the doors, and then Storm and others got in the car.Owen sat in the driver’s seat and drove to the Saxon estate. The bodyguards followed behind them. Owen parked th
Isaac walked to the door and opened it. The two police officers entered, then they greeted Pastor Bernie with respect, and said, “Pastor, we received a call indicating that someone has been assaulted.”Naomi approached the police officers and replied, “I made a call because my sister Doreen assaulted me. Please take her away. I want her to rot in jail.”The police officers were dumbfounded. Then they looked at Doreen and asked, “Miss Bernie, is your sister telling the truth?”Doreen nodded her head and replied, “It is true. However, I was defending myself. Naomi broke up with her fiancé and blamed me for it.She rushed to me and tried to slap me, but I dodged. Then I slapped her twice on the face. She told me that she wanted to destroy my life. Fortunately, I recorded her.” Then she played the voice recording.Doreen asked for the police officers' phone numbers, then she forwarded the voice recording to them and her boyfriend, David.Naomi nearly fainted with anger. Who gave Doreen th
Tristan went to the bedroom and walked to the closet, where he started packing his clothes in the luggage bag. Fortunately, he didn’t have many clothes in his fiancée’s apartment.Noami followed him behind. She was so shocked when he saw him packing his clothes. She snatched the luggage bag from her fiancé’s hands.Naomi looked at Tristan with eyes full of tears and asked, “What are you doing, Tristan? You are dumping me because I want a big wedding?”Tristan looked at her and replied, “No. You dumped me first when you started looking down on me because of my salary. There is no future for us, Naomi. I cannot marry someone who sees me as a failure.”Naomi shook her head and said, “Tristan, I have never said you are a failure, but I am disappointed in your lack of ambition.”Tristan looked at her for a long time and asked, “Didn’t I tell you that my dream was to become a doctor? Was that not ambitious enough for you?I don’t understand why you accepted my engagement ring, since deep in
At the Saxon estate, Michaela was in her husband’s arms smiling sweetly at him, and said, “Honey, thank you for putting a smile on my face. I never thought I would be able to laugh again.I love you so much, my Storm. I believe that one day the Lord will bless us with children. I promise to give you a soccer team. I cannot wait to hold them in my arms.”Storm smiled gently and replied, “I can’t describe the love I have for you, my wife. Feel free to hold me in your arms any time.” Michaela giggled and hugged her husband tightly.The following morning, Michaela accompanied her husband to breakfast. They greeted the elders with respect, and then Michaela walked to her mother-in-law.Her mother-in-law smiled at her and said, “You don’t have to wake up so early, my daughter in love.”Michaela smiled brightly and replied, “Mom, when I was in prison, the prison wardens used to wake us up at 5:30. So, I have been struggling to sleep after half past five.”Her mother-in-law’s heart ached when
At the Miller mansion, Denzel and his wife Gloria were in their walk-in closet dressing up. Denzel was handsome in a navy blue custom-made suit and his wife was stunning in a knee-high custom-made blue dress.Gloria was looking at her husband with eyes full of love and said, “When our son-in-law and our daughter showed us their marriage certificate, I was reminded of the day when we went to register our marriage.Our parents were over the moon. Then they decided to accompany us to Home Affairs. It was a joyful day.” Denzel pulled his wife in a tight embrace and replied, “My mother was so happy that she cried.”Gloria nodded her head and replied, “My mother-in-law was a good woman and we had a good relationship. I am so glad that Michaela’s mother-in-law is a good woman too.”Denzel kissed his wife on her forehead, then they headed to the living room. Stella and Amanda were in the living room waiting for the Miller couple.Amanda was beautiful in a knee-high custom-made red dress showc
Orlando smiled broadly and replied, “Congratulations, Uncle Forest, for getting a brand-new granddaughter-in-law. Thank you for inviting me. See you later, Sir.” Then they hung up the phone.Then Mr Saxon Senior dialed his in-law, Mr Miller’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, my in-law. We will be celebrating our children’s marriage tonight at 6 pm. Please join us with your lovely family.”Mr Miller was over the moon. He beamed and replied, “Hello, my in-law. We will surely come.” They bid goodbye and then they hung up.Mr Saxon Senior remembered to invite Pastor John to the celebration dinner. Mr Miller was still at the Harvest Group finalizing outstanding projects. He didn’t want to leave his son-in-law with a lot of work.He went to Clement’s office and knocked on the door. Clement replied, “Come in.” his eyes lit up when he saw Uncle Denzel.Mr Miller walked into the office and sat on the sofa, then Clement sat beside him. He smiled and said, “Clement, tonight at 6 p
Storm opened the passenger door, helped his wife into the car, and walked to the driver’s side. Michaela had already fastened her seatbelt, but her husband unfastened it. Then he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately.Storm looked at his wife with gentleness in his eyes and said, “Hello, Mrs Saxon.” Michaela flashed him a dazzling smile and replied, “Hello, Mr Saxon.”Storm kissed her on the lips and said, “My stunning wife, let’s go to the Miller mansion to show our Mom the marriage certificate.” Then he fastened his wife’s seatbelt.Michaela looked at their marriage certificate again and smiled brightly. She looked at her husband with eyes full of love and replied, “So sweet, my handsome husband. Mom will be over the moon.”Then her husband drove the car to the Miller mansion. On the way, Storm stopped in front of the flower shop and said, “I will be right back, Sweetheart.” Then he got out of his car and walked to the flower shop.A few minutes later, Storm walked out of
After the Saxon family ate, Mr Miller took his in-laws to a lavishly decorated large Galvanized steel Gazebo double roof canopy. There were sofas and chairs.Gloria sat beside her in-law, Judy. She hugged her arm smiling and said, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the thoughtful and wonderful gifts you have showered us with.”When she saw Stella and Amanda's gifts, a surge of warmth flowed through her heart.Judy smiled brightly at her and replied, “It’s been a while since I saw my son so happy. My daughter in love has put a smile on the whole family and, for that, I am grateful.My Michaela is the best thing that ever happened in my family. We have to start preparing for our children’s wedding, my in-law. It is long overdue.”Gloria was so happy when she heard Judy’s words and replied, “Our children loved each other so dearly. So, there is no need for delay, my in-law.”At that moment, Mr Saxon Senior smiled at her in-laws and said, “My in-laws, circumstances delayed our chi
The Miller mansion's atmosphere was lively. The living room and the dining room were lavishly decorated.Chef Roy and his team were cooking, and the smokiness and sweetness of the aroma wafted in the air, making people hungry.The Saxon family indicated that they would arrive at 10 am. Therefore, the renowned hairstylist arrived at 8:00 to prepare Michaela and her family.Michaela smiled brightly at her and said, “Thank you for coming, Miss Walker.” Madison hugged her and replied, “Please call me Aunt Madison, young lady.”Michaela smiled at her, then she escorted her to her dressing room. At 9 am, Michaela was standing in front of the mirror.She was stunning in a custom-made knee-high royal blue dress showcasing her long slender legs. She was beyond gorgeous.Her mother walked into her dressing room with Aunt Stella. Her mother was beautiful in a silver knee-high custom-made dress and Aunt Stella was wearing a beige custom-made dress.They were stunned when they saw Michaela’s beaut
Gloria sat on the sofa in the guest room holding Stella’s hand. She looked at her with worried eyes and asked, “Stella, did Thorne harass you after we left?”Stella shook her head and replied, “No, Madam. Since his mistress was still alive, there was no need for him to harass us.However, on the day when Michaela was released from prison, Thorne came to our home looking for Michaela. He indicated that he wanted to ask for forgiveness.”Gloria smiled at Stella and said, “Stella, please don’t call me ‘Madam’ anymore. You are no longer my family nanny.”Stella shook her head and replied, “In my heart, you will always be my madam. If you hadn't given me a helping hand when I was abandoned by my husband’s family, I don’t think my daughter and I would still be alive today.For that, I will forever be grateful to you and your family.” After Stella’s husband passed away due to illness, she discovered that her husband had left the Life insurance policy, investment policies, and their house to h
