A month had passed since Penny saw her ex-fiancé. Ives was waiting for Penny to beg him. Every day, he checked his phone to see if there were any text messages from her.Sometimes he would ask his secretary if Penny had called him while he was in the meeting. His secretary would look at him puzzled and replied, “No, Sir.”To forget Ives, Penny decided to have a Fashion Show on the 3rd of May. She personally sent invitation cards to prominent people in the fashion industry and invited businessmen. However, she didn’t invite her ex-fiancé.Ives nearly went crazy when his friend, Jace Cobbs, showed him the invitation card. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the date.How could Penny replace their wedding date with a Fashion Show? A suffocating feeling overwhelmed him. He couldn't breathe. Was it possible that Penny didn’t love him anymore? He started panicking.He didn’t see it coming. He thought Penny would come crawling back to him. Unfortunately, Penny was moving on with her life
Judy flashed her father a beautiful smile and led him to the dance floor. She looked at her father and said, “I am so happy, Daddy. My birthday wish is for my son to get evidence for my daughter-in-law.Storm is head over heels in love with Michaela. His eyes lit up when he talked about her and I cannot wait to meet her.”Her father laughed and replied, “It is my wish too, my beautiful daughter. It is a pity that Sputla stopped being a hacker. However, I have faith that one day the truth will be revealed. I am praying for my granddaughter-in-law’s safety.Even though I asked David to move her to a single cell, anything could happen in the dining hall or the bathroom. I heard that inmates keep weapons in prison.”Judy nodded her head and said, “We have been through a lot as a family. Therefore, we don’t have a choice, but to believe that the Lord will remember us one day, Daddy.Storm told me that his father-in-law has helped him a lot in the company.” Mr Miller was not used to sitting
At the Clinton Group, President Ives Clinton’s eyes were red. He looked like he had been deprived of sleep. On Sunday, he spent the whole day outside the Saxon estate waiting for Penny. Unbeknownst to him, Penny was still at His Shadow Resort.He tried to call his fiancée, but the call didn't go through. It was clear that Penny had blocked his number. A feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him.Everything he had been given to him by Storm Saxon. He didn't want his sister to date below her station. Also, he didn't want Penny to be a laughingstock to the Earl family.What if Storm withdrew the funding and stopped the ongoing projects? He couldn’t go back to poverty. He wouldn’t allow his mother to wash people’s clothes again. It dawned on him that without Penny he was nothing. At 7:30 am, his Executive Secretary, Edgar Rogers, knocked on the door. He raised his head and said, “Come in.”Executive Secretary Rogers walked towards President Clinton’s desk and said, “Sir, you have back-to-b
At His Grace Hotel, South Africa, President Cage was having a meeting with President Sun in a private room. The Sun Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he needed a cash injection urgently.After they signed the contract, President Cage walked out of His Grace Hotel. In the parking lot, he met his sister’s friend, Sloane Ball, and her friends.He looked at her coldly and said, “Miss Ball, my sister has been hospitalized for more than three months, but you haven’t visited her even once. Were you lying when you said Paula was like a sister to you?”Sloane felt humiliated and embarrassed. She turned to her friends and asked them to leave. She looked at Samson with eyes brimming with tears and replied, “I was not lying, Brother Samson. It’s just that I am busy right now.”Samson sneered, disgust evident in his tone, and asked, “What are you busy with besides frequenting the taverns? I heard that you went to the prison to visit Miss Miller. I am confused, since when did you become Miss
In the blink of an eye, Michaela had been in prison for six months. At the Ferguson family mansion, Mrs Ferguson senior was in the garden with her daughter-in-law, Gail.She looked at Gail with sorrow in her eyes and asked, “Why is Thorne so stubborn? He was aware that his grandfather was not in good health, but he didn’t care. Is he waiting for us to grovel and ask for forgiveness?”Gail sighed and replied, “I don’t know what is wrong with Thorne, Mom. He chose to denounce his family because of his mistress.We didn’t raise him like that. My heart aches when I think about my precious daughter-in-law who is locked in prison for something she didn’t do.Yesterday I visited the Miller mansion. I was surprised when I saw new faces there. They told me that they bought the mansion at auction.Then I decided to go to the Fox family mansion to find out what happened to the Miller family.I was dumbfounded when Stella told me that Thorne gave the Miller Group to the Cage family as compensation
Penny was eating lunch with her brother, Storm, at His Love Hotel. She flashed him a dazzling smile and said, “When I woke up this morning, my phone was flooded with Bella’s honeymoon photos.”Storm looked at her puzzled and asked, “Why now? Didn’t they come back from the honeymoon a month ago?” Penny nodded her head and replied, “She was being Bella. She was boasting that she got married before me.”Storm smiled faintly and said, “I hope she will be able to capture Jacques’ heart since it is a marriage of convenience. I heard that he was keeping the mistress outside.”Penny was dumbfounded and asked, “What?” How could my parents allow their precious daughter to marry someone who is keeping a mistress outside?”Storm looked at his sister smiling faintly and replied, “Jacques has been with this girl for years and it was not a secret. It would be a lie to say that your father was not aware of this matter but he turned a blind eye. Nowadays, people put interest before their family.”Penny
Penny smiled shyly at Ives and nodded her head. Ives pulled her in his embrace for a long time. Penny felt like suffocating, but she didn’t move. She let him hug her. Then Ives kissed her on top of her head and released her.He opened the back seat door, took the flowers and chocolate box, and handed them to her. Penny flashed him a dazzling smile and thanked him.Then Ives opened the passenger door for her and put his hand below the roof of the car to protect her. Penny smiled sweetly and thanked him.She couldn’t fasten her seatbelt because she was carrying huge flowers, and she didn’t want to put them down. Ives smiled and helped her with the seatbelt.Penny smiled brightly and asked, “How was your day, Ives?” He smiled broadly and replied, “It was hectic, my love. How was yours?”Penny smiled and said, “Mine was not bad. I had a meeting with the organizer and the models, then I had lunch with my brother.” Anger flashed in his eyes, but he managed to restrain himself.He was not co
Mrs Clinton couldn’t contain her excitement and she cried tears of joy. She looked at her son and asked, “Why don’t you bring her here this weekend, Son? I cannot wait to meet my daughter-in-law. Please show me her photo.”Ives took his wallet and looked for Penny’s ID photo, but he couldn’t find it. He remembered that he took it out of his wallet in a fit of anger when Penny broke up with him.He smiled broadly and replied, “I don’t have her photo with me right now, but I can assure you that she is the most stunning girl I have ever seen.I wanted to bring her here this weekend, but she has another commitment she couldn’t cancel, Mom.”His mother nodded her head and said smiling, “Son, we have to prepare a betrothal gift. Tell me about her family background.”Ives looked at his mother and replied, “She comes from a wealthy background, Mom. However, she doesn’t look down on people from a humble background.”His mother smiled and said, “It seems like she is a good child. She reminds me
At the Ferguson family mansion, Thorne’s father, Hayden, and his mother, Gail, were in the bedroom. Gail looked at her husband aggrieved and asked, “Hubby, are we going to let our son marry that homewrecker, Paula Cage?Honey, my heart aches every time I think about my precious daughter-in-law and my first grandson. Michaela was the best thing that ever happened to the Ferguson family.”Hayden pulled his wife in a tight embrace and asked, “Do you want us to go against our parents because of Thorne? Was it not our son’s heart's desire to marry his mistress?Didn’t he force my precious daughter-in-law to abort my first grandson because of her?We have to teach him a lesson that he will never forget. I will ensure that he ends up marrying the love of his life so that he will never hurt other people again.Paula is devious and heartless like my son. They are a match made in heaven.”His wife kissed him passionately and said, “Hubby, he is our only son. We have to protect him from all cost
Naomi 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 Pha
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 satisfi
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 perj
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 for
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 commi
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
