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

Ives spent four hours outside the Saxon estate, but the bodyguards refused to open the gate. He couldn’t believe that he had destroyed everything with his own hands. He felt like crying.He decided to leave when he saw Storm’s car, not because he was scared of Storm. However, he was afraid of the person behind Storm, Mr Wells. He was not the person to offend.Ives went straight to his Penthouse and threw himself into bed with clothes and shoes. His heart was in turmoil. He was kicking himself for taking Penny’s love for granted.He was so naïve, he had never thought that Storm would fail to separate between private matter and business matters. Unbeknownst to him, Penny was Storm’s bottom line.How would he explain to his mother that he had lost everything because he spoke harshly to her beloved future granddaughter-in-law?At that moment, he realized that he was nothing without Penny. What would happen to his mother’s mansion? He was still paying for the mortgage. His heart was overwhe
