Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
At the Havana Club, Thorne and his friends were drinking expensive wine. Sloane was among them chatting and laughing. However, his close friend, Archie Lane, had stopped being his friend, but Thorne didn’t take it to heart.It had been a month since Sloane visited her cousin in prison. June. She had promised her cousin that her future husband, Thorne Ferguson, would reward the person who would torment Michaela with a million rand.However, she didn’t have that kind of cash. She had spent all her savings on fine dining with her friends. Also, she had spent her money on designer clothes and luxurious handbags.Sloane approached Jeff Cliff, smiling from ear to ear, and said, “Brother Jeff, would you mind lending me one million rand? My father’s company is not doing well. He went to the bank, but they didn’t approve his application for a loan.”Jeff Cliff was so generous with money. He used to spoil Paula a lot. He looked at her with a faint smile on his face and asked, “Do you have a com
At the Earl mansion, Mr Earl didn’t go to work because he had a cold. He was in the bedroom with his wife, Tracy. He looked at his wife with a faint smile on his face and said, “Penny’s ex-boyfriend’s company is on the verge of bankruptcy.”His wife laughed out loud and asked, “What happened, Hubby?” Her husband smiled and replied, “I don’t know the full details, but I heard Ives offended Mr Wells.It proved that I was right all the time. I warned Penny about this boy, but she didn’t listen. However, I am glad that she dumped him before he lost everything. I don’t want anyone to blame my daughter for her ex-boyfriend's uselessness.”His wife looked at her husband with sadness in her eyes and said, “Hubby, I regret allowing my precious daughter to marry Jacques.How could he abandon my sweet daughter? Bella is devastated. Her husband left the signed divorce agreement for her to sign.”Jacques Wood turned Bella into a widow whilst he was still alive. He had told his parents that Bella wa
Earlier, in the police station interrogation room, the police officer looked at Ives and asked, "Why did you go to Miss Earl's company since you have already broken up with her?"Ives looked at the police officer and replied, "Penny's brother crippled my company. I didn’t go there to threaten anyone. I went there to beg Penny to ask her brother to give me a break.”The police officer didn't believe a word from his mouth and asked, "Didn't Miss Tina Oakes tell you that Miss Earl was not at work?"When Tina told him that Penny didn't come to work he thought she was lying. Hence, he demanded to see Penny.Ives lowered his eyes to hide his emotions and replied, "I was wrong. Can I go home now?"The police officer looked at him with disdain in his eyes and replied, "Don't be hasty, Mr Clinton. We will keep you for a couple of days while conducting the investigation. Didn't you know who Miss Earl's backer was?"Ives looked at the police officer with a confused expression and asked, "Are you
At the Ball mansion, Sloane’s heart was in a mess. She thought her cousin, June, would help her to torment Michaela beyond recognition. Unfortunately, it was her wishful thinking.The following day, Sloane locked herself in her bedroom crying. How could she allow the opportunity to marry her beloved Thorne Ferguson to pass by? She didn’t even join her parents for breakfast.After her father had left for work, her mother went to Sloane’s bedroom to check on her. She knocked on her daughters’ bedroom but no one opened the door. She started panicking. What if something happened to her daughter?Then she started pounding on the door and shouted her daughter’s name. A few minutes later, Sloane opened the door, tears streaming down her face.Her mother rushed to her and hugged her tightly. She looked at her with worried eyes and asked, “What happened, Sweetheart?”Sloane wiped her tears with the back of her hand and replied, “It’s nothing, Mom. Don’t worry about me. Are you looking for me,
A few minutes after Mrs Ball left the prison, June was told she had a visitor. Her eyes lit up when she saw her beloved mother. She smiled brightly and said, “Mommy, guess who visited me today.”Her mother looked at her with a smile and replied, “That’s easy, it was your cousin, Sloane.” June shook her head and replied, “No. It was Aunt Getty, she made my day, Mommy. I thought she had turned her back on me.I was surprised when she told me that my cousin had stopped her from visiting me because I always thought Sloane and I were thick as thieves. How wrong I was.Mommy, it dawned on me that my cousin had been pretending all this time. Deep down in her heart, she loathed me most. It is clear that when my ex-fiancé and my best friend, Stacy, betrayed me, my cousin rejoiced.Do you know that, for the past four years and a half, Sloane has never visited me, not even once? She only visited me because she wanted me to torment Mr Thorne Ferguson’s ex-wife.”Mrs Bale was dumbfounded and asked
It was the first time Sloane had seen her mother so angry. Sloane decided not to tell her the truth, fearing that her mother might disown her if she knew the truth.She looked at her mother with pleading eyes and replied, “It’s impossible for me to date Thorne because he is dating my best friend, Paula.Where would Thorne find the time to date anyone while Paula is still fighting for her life, Mom? June is lying through her teeth. She wanted to sow discord between us because I hadn't visited her in prison for the past four years.Mommy, you know me, I am your daughter. I apologize for telling a white lie about the protection f*e. I felt guilty that my cousin had been locked in prison for years, but I didn’t find time to visit her.Then I decided to give her money to apologize to her. It is clear to me that my cousin is still holding a grudge against me. Hence, she is telling you lies about me dating Mr Ferguson.”When Sloane saw that a seed of doubt had been planted in her mother’s hea
Sloane shook her head and replied, “No, Daddy. My cousin is lying. She is holding a grudge against me because I never visited her in prison before. However, I was praying for her without ceasing, Daddy.”Anger erupted within Aunt Mildred’s heart when she heard her niece’s words. She wanted to slap her but she restrained herself.She looked at her sister-in-law with eyes full of tears and said, “Sister-in-law, I have loved my niece as my daughter since she was born, but what did I get in return? She plotted against my daughter.”Getty hugged her sister-in-law’s arm and replied, “Sister-in-law, I have reprimanded my daughter, and she promised that she would never do it again. Also, I warned my niece not to touch Mrs Ferguson.”Her husband looked at her with a confused expression and asked, “Honey, what are you talking about? Didn’t you tell me that our daughter denied asking her cousin for help?”Getty didn’t know what to say to her husband because she had a feeling that she couldn’t sha
What kind of question was that? Was her uncle expecting a response from her? Sloane sobbed sorrowfully and looked at her mother with pleading eyes, but her mother ignored her. She opened and closed her mouth but no words came forth.Aunt Mildred looked at her niece and asked, “Why are you treating your cousin like that, Sloane? Has your cousin ever wronged you before?”Sloane shook her head and replied, “No, my cousin has treated me well since we were young. It is my fault, Auntie. I was blinded by revenge.”Her mother looked at her with a confused expression and asked, “I don’t understand, Sloane. Has Mrs Ferguson offended you before? If not, where does this hatred come from?”Sloane looked at them with stubbornness in her eyes and replied, “Mom, since Michaela offended my best friend she offended me too. Paula is like a sister to me and I will do anything for her.Why didn’t Michaela divorce Paula’s man when Thorne served her with the divorce papers? Mom, Thorne didn’t love Michaela.
A few days after Mr Ferguson Senior was discharged from the hospital, the Saxon bodyguard called Mr Saxon Senior to give him feedback and said, “Hello, Sir. My source told me that Mr Ferguson Senior is recovering well at home.I also heard that his grandson, Thorne Ferguson, had been searching for young Mrs Saxon high and low since the Ferguson family received the medicine.He was convinced that young Mrs Saxon was in South Africa.” Mr Saxon Senior thanked his bodyguard then they hung up. During breakfast, Grandpa Saxon told his family the good news.One month before Storm and Michaela’s wedding, after dinner, Storm smiled at the elders and said, “Grandpa, Mom, Michaela will be undergoing a uterus transplant in the first week of March.Michaela will visit the psychologist, Dr Gray, for an emotional readiness evaluation when she gets an appointment. We were told that he was fully booked for a month.”Michaela had been undergoing a physical examination to check her overall health. The r
When Bryce and Amelia arrived at the Durban Correctional Services, they requested to see Miss Cage. They were ushered into the interrogation room.A few minutes later, Paula walked to the interrogation room. She smirked when she saw Bryce. She sat down and asked, “What do you want, Bryce?”Bryce looked at his wife, nodded his head, then Amelia looked at Paula and said, “Miss Cage, please note that your court case has been set for the 18th and 19th of this month. Please prepare yourself.”Paula was shocked and asked, “How could you set my court date since you know I don’t have a lawyer?”Amelia’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Whose fault was that, Miss Cage? Didn’t you fire your lawyer because of incompetence?”Paula looked at her and replied, “I made a mistake, Prosecutor Zibi. Where is Miss Bernie?”Amelia shook her head and said, “Senior Prosecutor May is on vacation leave. Do you need me to help you with anything, Miss Cage?”Paula was taken aback when she heard Doreen’s last name
Thorne understood where his grandmother was coming from. She wanted to hold her great-grandchildren before she went to heaven.Thorne looked at his grandmother and asked, “Grandma, I have been asking for forgiveness for months, but you are refusing to forgive me. Am I not your grandson?”His Grandma stopped and looked back at her grandson. She smiled and replied, “My grandson, I have forgiven you a long time ago. However, I don’t want Michaela to be your wife again. She would be better off without you, my grandson.You are so cruel. I don’t know who you took after because your grandfather and your father are kind-hearted. Also, you have an ungrateful heart. If you can search deep in your heart, you will find that you don’t love Michaela.It’s just that she was your backup plan. The only person you truly loved was Paula Cage. After you discovered that she wasn’t the woman you thought she was, you convinced yourself that you loved Michaela, but it is not true.”There was a hint of irrita
On the way home, Mr Ferguson Senior looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Please don’t tell my grandson about Michaela’s gift. I don’t want him to misunderstand.”Before Gail could respond, her mother-in-law chuckled and replied, “Hubby, the package was received and opened by Thorne. He also saw Michaela’s note.He immediately called his private investigator, Archie, and asked him to track down Michaela. Then he took his car keys and left. I think he is with Archie right now.”Her husband shook his head and said, “I don’t think they would be able to find Michaela.”Gail took her phone and dialed her beloved son’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Thorne, your grandfather has been discharged from the hospital. Did Archie manage to find Michaela?”Thorne shook his head and replied, “Michaela sent a boy to the post office to courier Grandpa’s medication. We are trying to track down this young man. Maybe he will be able to give us more information about Michaela’s whereabouts.M
At the Saxon estate, Michaela looked at their grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I heard that Grandpa Ferguson has been hospitalized for the past two weeks.If I had known earlier, I would have sent the Longevity Health Supplements when we were in Zanzibar.”Grandpa Saxon was moved by his granddaughter-in-law’s thoughtfulness and replied, “You are such a good child, my precious granddaughter-in-law. There is a Saxon flight flying to South Africa that is leaving in three hours.We can give the package to the pilot and ask my bodyguard to fetch it from him when they land in South Africa. Then he can courier it to the Ferguson mansion.”Michaela thanked her Grandpa, and she then went to their bedroom. She took six gold cases of Longevity Health Supplements.She wrapped the gold cases, then she put them in a small box. She wrote a note and said, “Get well soon, Grandpa.” Then she signed her name.While Michaela was preparing the package, Grandpa Saxon called the pilot and informed him about t
After David and Doreen exchanged their vows, the newlyweds and their entourage went outside to take photos. They also took photos with their colleagues and friends.Half an hour later, the guests went to the lavishly decorated ballroom for the reception. The DJ played a romantic song, then the newlyweds, together with their best man, Matron of Honour, groomsmen, and bridesmaids, entered the ballroom dancing.The MC, Damon Steel, was standing on the stage smiling from ear to ear. He looked at the guests and said, “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the wedding of David and Doreen. You look so beautiful.” The guests clapped their hands.Then Damon looked at David and said, “Congratulations, David, for receiving a favour from the Lord. You have found a good wife." He looked at the guests and said, "I have been notified that the food is ready.” He then prayed for the food.At that moment, His Faithfulness Resort Chef and the waiters delivered the food to the venue
At the Bernie villa at 10 am, Doreen was in her bedroom with her sister-in-law, Imogen, the bridesmaids and the flower girl waiting for the make-up artist.Last night, the make-up artist promised she would be at the resort by 9 am. Imogen tried calling her several times, but it went straight to voicemail. Imogen was starting to panic because the wedding was starting at noon.At that moment, the resort's stylist team walked into Doreen’s bedroom. They greeted the bride-to-be and said, “We have been sent by our manager to help you and your bridesmaids with make-up.”Doreen understood that it was Mrs Saxon who sent them and said, “Thank you very much.” Then they started doing the make-up.An hour later, Doreen was gorgeous in a strapless Mermaid wedding gown. The cathedral-length veil was gracefully sitting on the bun. Her make-up was flawless, creating a sophisticated look.The Matron of Honour, Imogen and the bridesmaids were stunning in rust floor-length dresses.The flower girl was we
At the May mansion, Grandma May was so excited that she bought Cashmere soft yarn and started knitting baby clothes. Doreen’s parents wished that they could move to the May mansion. They were very happy.It was the 27th of December, but David and Doreen’s wedding venue was still not available. The wedding invitation cards had already been sent. The Wedding Planner and the florist had already been paid.However, there was no anxiety in Doreen’s heart. She was just waiting for the Lord to come through for her. The Lord had never failed her before. She had faith that nothing is impossible with the Lord.At noon, David and his wife were in their bedroom resting. Doreen was nestled in her husband’s arms when her phone started ringing.She looked at the caller ID, but it was an unfamiliar number. Something told her to answer the phone, and she said, “Hello.”A young lady’s voice replied, “Hello, Miss Bernie. My name is Sihle. I am calling you from His Faithfulness Resort. There has been a ca
On Christmas Day, the May family was hosting the Bernie family. They were sitting in the dining room, enjoying sumptuous food. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious. They were chatting and laughing.Doreen took a piece of turkey and started chewing, then a feeling of nausea overwhelmed her. She put her hand in her mouth and rushed to the bathroom. Her husband trailed behind.While Doreen was vomiting, David was patting her small back. Then Grandma May fed her some water. David looked at his wife with concern in his eyes and asked, “How are you feeling, Sweetheart?”Doreen looked at her husband and replied, “I don’t know what is wrong with me, my love. This week, every time I eat, I feel like vomiting.”Grandma May was over the moon and asked, “When was the last time you had your period?”Doreen looked at Grandma May and replied, “Last month, my periods were very light. This month, my periods are late by five days, Grandma.”Grandma May was beside herself with excitement and said, “My
