Hi my dearest readers, let's have a conversation in the comment section. Blessings
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 Thorne’s beach house, Thorne was sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise, but he seemed distracted. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of his life because he was turning twenty-four years old.However, no one from his family would celebrate his birthday with him because they turned their backs on him. They chose the outsider over him.His heart was overwhelmed with hatred towards his ex-wife. He cursed the day he met Michaela Miller. She had brought nothing but pain into his life. She had destroyed everything that he held dear to his heart.He had lost his beloved family, his childhood friend, David May, and his son with Paula because of Michaela. He might also lose the love of his life, Paula.He wished he could go to prison and strangle her. However, killing her would be too easy. He wanted to torture her slowly until she wished she was dead.He hoped she could endure the twenty-first birthday gift he had prepared for her. Thorne was planning something sinister for his
Archie Lane looked at Thorne and said, “I am not Michaela’s fan, but I think it is harsh to wish her dead. Is it not enough that she is paying for her crime in prison? I don’t think she was responsible for Paula’s injury.If I remember correctly, that morning Paula texted Michaela asking her to meet her. When did she find the hacker who destroyed the surveillance footage so suddenly? This matter has too many loopholes.What if Michaela was trying to defend herself from Paula? This matter is not simple, Thorne. Please investigate it thoroughly before it is too late.”Thorne’s face darkened. Consumed by rage, he replied, “Archie, if you still want to be my friend, please don’t involve yourself in my private life.If you want to be a hero, why don’t you investigate this matter yourself? Are you not a private investigator?”Archie was dumbfounded. He shook his head, but he didn’t utter a word. He wanted to stand up and leave, but he didn’t want to embarrass Thorne on his birthday. However,
Sloane didn’t sleep a wink. She was plotting Michaela's and Paula's demise. She hated Paula with all her heart because she was standing in her way of becoming Mrs Thorne Ferguson.She was thinking of a way of switching off the life support machine without being caught. She vowed that she would marry Thorne by hook or crook.The following morning, Sloane walked into the kitchen with a throbbing headache. She greeted her mother and said, “Mom, that dream has come back again. I will go to the prison to see my cousin. Maybe she needs help.”Her mother hugged her and replied, “You are such a good child, Sloane. Your uncle would be happy to hear that you are willing to lend a helping hand to his daughter.”Sloane smiled brightly at her mother, then she went to the dining room to set a table. Then she helped her mother to carry the food and plates to the dining room.After breakfast, she went to her bedroom to change her clothes. She kissed her mother, then she went to the shopping mall to b
In Malibu, California, Storm was at His Love Hotel with hackers. He looked at them and said, “Should you manage to restore the footage, I will set up an IT company for you.My wife has been locked up for eight months for a crime she didn’t do. Please do your best.” The hackers tried to restore the footage until the early hours of the morning, but they couldn’t.They used to think they were better than Sputla's team. However, they were proven wrong. They couldn't even surpass them. Restoring the footage seemed to be a daunting task.Storm’s heart sank when he saw the results. These hackers were worse than the previous hackers. He gave them a lot of money, then they left dejected.He went to the bathroom to take a shower, then he put on pajamas. He knelt down and prayed. He asked the Lord to increase his faith and not let him lose hope. His beloved Michaela depended on him to find evidence.Finally, it was Penny's Fashion Show. She invited editors of fashion magazines, fashion journalist
Storm went backstage carrying a bouquet of pink roses. He approached his sister, grinning from ear to ear. He handed her the bouquet and said, “Congratulations, baby sis.” Then he kissed her on both cheeks.Penny flashed him a beautiful smile and replied, “I don’t think I would have done this without you, Big Brother.”After Penny broke up with Ives, she was devastated. Storm suggested that she channel the bitterness in her heart into the things she loved. She poured her heart into her designs.Penny looked at her brother and asked, “Have you seen my fiancé?” Storm nodded his head and replied, “I saw him leaving with Aunt Celia and another lady. If I am not mistaken, it was his mother.”Her heart became bitter when she heard her brother’s response. She calmed herself down, then she took her brother’s arm and left backstage, followed by the models and Photographer Clement.Penny had organized a cocktail party for her distinguished guests at His Love Hotel. She waited for Ives’ call, but
After Paula was taken by the police, Samson took his phone and dialed Jeff Cliff’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, Jeff. How are you? I need your help.”Jeff was puzzled when he received a call from Paula’s brother and replied, “Hello, Samson. I am well. Thank you. How may I help you?”Samson replied, “Paula has been arrested for framing Miss Miller. So, I am looking for a lawyer.”Jeff sneered, disgust evident in his voice, “Samson, I never thought that Paula was so cruel. She deserves everything coming to her. I wish she could rot in jail. Because she was obsessed with Thorne, Bryce and I might lose our job.I will never forgive her for what she did to us. Do you know that Sloane’s mother died because of her? I hate your sister with passion.I blamed myself for indulging her. I thought she was a decent person. Unfortunately, she was an animal.If she loved Thorne the most, why did she leave him in the beginning? Samson, I respect you, but I will never help Paula.Pau
In the meantime, at the May mansion, luxurious cars were in the driveway. The atmosphere was lively. Grandma May was smiling from ear to ear. She wished it was her precious grandson's wedding day.Grandpa May had invited his influential friends and Pastor Stevens to his grandson's betrothal ceremony. His friends were happy for him, and they came to give him support.David had invited his friends to accompany him to his beloved girlfriend’s family. Jeff Cliff, Archie Lane, and Bryce Gardner were present to support their friend. They were not aware that Thorne went to the Cage family to pay a bride price for Paula.Archie Lane was teasing David and asked, “David, didn’t you tell us that you would never marry?Who talked sense into your mind? Please don’t tell me it was Doreen because we know her all our lives.”David smiled and replied, “A beautiful soul told me not to allow my father’s mistakes to shape my life. She also told me that there was someone special out there waiting for me.
It was Saturday and the weather was beautiful. At the Cage mansion, the atmosphere was normal. Mr Cage Senior didn’t take Ferguson’s visit seriously. He knew in his heart that Thorne Ferguson didn’t love his granddaughter anymore.Therefore, he didn’t prepare anything for them. Also, he didn’t invite any relatives to witness his granddaughter’s joyous occasion.Mr Cage Senior was so disappointed in his granddaughter. He used to think that he raised his granddaughter well. However, Paula’s cruelty shattered his heart to pieces. She killed his first grandson in her own hands to frame the legal wife.For the past few days, Paula tried to reach her beloved boyfriend, Thorne, to no avail. She had been comforting herself that Thorne would come to see her after she was discharged from the hospital. However, he never came.When her grandfather told her that Thorne was forced by his elders to marry her, she refuted her grandfather’s words. She told him that Thorne was her soulmate, and he love
A month had passed since Michaela had vanished into thin air. Thorne had searched for her everywhere. Michaela had completely disappeared without leaving any clues as to where she might be. Thorne’s heart was overwhelmed with bitterness.He couldn’t believe that Michaela really gave up on him since she used to worship the ground he walked on. He thought after Michaela was acquitted she would cling to him. Unfortunately, it was his wishful thinking.The elders were in the living room discussing Paula Cage’s betrothal gifts ceremony. His mother, Gail, looked at the elders and said, “Dad, Mom, I have a feeling that your granddaughter-in-law would come back when her anger has dissipated.I am worried that should we allow Thorne to marry Paula, my Michaela would be heartbroken.I was thinking, why don’t we allow Thorne and Paula to hold their engagement banquet, but they don’t register their marriage? Please give Michaela five years to come back.Should Michaela fail to forgive my son, I w
In the blink of an eye, it was Bryce Gardner and Jeff Cliff’s disciplinary hearing. They had asked Doreen Bernie to be their representative, but she turned them down because she was one of the witnesses.Chief Justice Sithole asked Judge Stanton to be the Presiding Officer. Then Judge Bill was the company's representative and Judge Harris was the witness.Then, they asked Prosecutor Amelia Zibi to represent them in the hearing. When Amelia was appointed, Bryce Gardner trained her.So, to repay his kindness, Amelia agreed to represent them even though she had no confidence in winning the case. She hated Sloane Ball in her heart for destroying her mentor’s career.The disciplinary hearing was held at 10 am in the conference room. Judge Stanton arrived at 9:30 to ensure the conference room was in order.Judge Bill entered the conference room with her secretary, Abby Green, in tow. Then she handed the attendance register and the digital voice recorder to the Presiding Officer, Judge Stant
Mrs Carter looked at her daughter for a long time and said, “I am so disappointed in you, Sybil. Your cousin has been nothing but kind to you. Is that how you repay his kindness by sabotaging his company? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?In your own opinion, do you think Ashley is superior to Amanda? I am sorry to burst your bubble. Amanda is superior to Ashley in every aspect. You have snatched all Amanda’s resources for Ashley, but she has never won even a novice award.I don’t understand why you are sabotaging your cousin’s company for someone like Ashley who lacks talent. To tell you the truth, I think you are hiding something from us. Why don’t you tell us the reason behind supporting someone like Ashley, Sybil?”Sybil was dumbfounded. She looked at her mother and replied, “I am not hiding anything from you, Mommy. Ashley used to be my deskmate in high school. Hence, I am so fond of her.”Tyler looked at his cousin strangely. Sybil was lying through her teeth. Ashley had
In La Lucia, Tyler Bush was at the family mansion helping his mother in the kitchen. He looked at his mother and asked, “Mom, where is Dad?”His mother, Belinda Bush, smiled at her son and replied, “Your father went to visit his friend at Umhlanga to discuss cooperation.Ty, when are you going to introduce your girlfriend to us?” Tyler smiled broadly at his mother and asked, “Why don’t you arrange blind dates for me, Mom? I believe that you will find a good woman for me.”His mother laughed out loud and replied, “If I am not mistaken, that girl from the Barnes family has been chasing you since high school. Why don’t you give her a chance?”Tyler shook his head and replied, “I don’t love Ashley, Mom. She is too pretentious. Sometimes I kicked myself for not pursuing Michaela when I first met her. When I approached her she was already married to Thorne.Because of his mistress, Thorne failed to treat Michaela as a treasure. It is clear to me that she was just a substitute.”His mother p
At Durban Correctional Service, the prison warden approached Sloane and June with a somber expression and said, “Please change into your normal clothes. We are going to church.”June had a confused expression and asked, “Why are we attending the church outside of prison? Did something happen to our family?”For the past five years, she had been in prison she had never gone out of prison to attend church service outside.The prison warden shook his head and replied, “I don’t know the reason. I received the instruction from Commissioner May to take you to church. Please stop asking questions. We have to leave in ten minutes. Hurry up.”The feeling of uneasiness overwhelmed June and Sloane. They quickly changed into their normal clothes, and then they were escorted to the police van. They arrived at the church at the same time as the hearse.When Sloane saw the hearse, she had a bad feeling. Her knees became weak, and she nearly fell. Fortunately, the police officer caught her before she
At the Miller mansion, Owen was in the living room chatting with Uncle Denzel, Aunt Gloria, and his future mother-in-law.Stella looked at her future son-in-law with satisfaction in her eyes. She thanked the Lord for blessing her daughter with a man of such caliber. Her heart swelled with pride. She felt that her daughter chose well. Owen was her daughter’s boyfriend.A few minutes later, Amanda walked into the living room wearing a beautiful knee-high black dress accentuating her slim figure. Her make-up was exquisite and impeccable.Owen stood up when he saw the love of his life and said, “You are so beautiful, Sweetheart.” Amanda smiled sweetly at him and replied, “Thank you, my love. You are not bad yourself.”Owen smiled at the elders and promised to bring Amanda home before 22:00. Then he bid the elders goodbye and left with Amanda smiling from ear to ear.When they arrived at Owen’s mansion, he ushered his beloved girlfriend to the living room. Butler awaited them at the door t
