Storm dialed his Godfather’s number. When it was connected he said, “Dad, I arrived safely in South Africa. The Lord is indeed working in mysterious ways.Sputla surprised me, Dad. He called me and offered to restore the footage. The Lord has come through for me, Dad. My heart is filled with gratitude and I don’t have enough words to thank the Lord for His faithfulness in my life.”His Godfather was overjoyed. He thanked the Lord for allowing his nephew, Sputla, to help his Godson. Storm told him how deeply he loved Michaela.He beamed and replied, “Son, thank you for letting me know. I am so happy that Sputla is helping you. I don’t have a doubt in my mind that he would succeed.” They bade each other farewell, then they hung up.Storm took the bottle of mineral water from the bedside table. He unscrewed it and took a sip.At that moment, his phone started ringing. He picked it up without looking at the caller ID and said, “Hello.”Sputla’s excited voice was heard, “Storm, I just sent
Last night, Storm told his grandfather the good news and asked him to postpone Mr Miller’s birthday party to September 2nd. He then asked his grandfather to keep Michaela’s release confidential. He wanted to surprise Michaela's parents.His grandfather was overjoyed. He indicated they would perform a cleansing ceremony for his granddaughter-in-law to eliminate all the bad luck. He promised that he would invite Pastor John to perform the ceremony.Thereafter, they would celebrate Mr. Miller and Michaela’s birthdays.After the Miller couple’s wedding anniversary, Storm had a feeling that the love of his life would be released soon.So, he asked Penny to design gowns and dresses for Michaela. He bought designer handbags, sexy lingerie, and shoes.

At 3 pm, the video clip of the incident that happened a year ago was uploaded on the internet. The video clip went viral.The netizens were up in arms when they saw that Michaela was not even there when Paula fell.They scolded Thorne Ferguson and Paula Cage for being shameless. They scolded Paula for being a homewrecker.It was clear that Paula wanted to frame the legally wedded wife, Michaela, to force her to divorce Thorne Ferguson. However, something went wrong.At the Cage Group, President Samson Cage was about to go to the meeting when he saw the video clip. He canceled the meeting and rushed home.When Samson arrived home, his grandfather was sitting in the garden with his bodyguards chatting and laughing.Grandpa Cage was surprised when he saw his precious grandson during working hours and asked, “What happened, my grandson?”Samson handed his tablet to his grandfather without uttering a word. His grandfather watched the video clip in silence.After he finished watching the vid
David looked at him for a long time and replied, “I am sorry, Thorne, but it is too late to regret. Didn’t you tell me you don't care whether Miss Miller lives or dies?If I hadn’t intervened Miss Miller would have died in prison. She suffered endless torment from her inmates.When I investigated the matter I found that someone had paid the inmates a lot of money to torture Miss Miller. Dolly indicated that she received instructions from you to bully your ex-wife. Who would have guts to touch your ex-wife without your permission?”A surge of anger rose in Thorne’s heart and replied, “I never asked anyone to torture my wife, David.”David dialed the warden’s number and asked him to bring Dolly into his office. She was one of the ruthless inmates in prison.Dolly was famous for her cruelty. She was serving a ten-year sentence for breaking her cheating husband’s legs with a golf club.A few minutes later, the warden walked into Commissioner May’s office followed by an inmate wearing an
At that moment, Thorne’s phone started ringing. His eyes dimmed when he saw the caller ID. The call was from the Ferguson Private Hospital Director Khabzo.Director Khabzo was beaming with joy and said, “President Ferguson, I have good news for you. The love of your life is awake.” There was no joy in Thorne’s heart. He thanked him for letting him know then he hung up. Thorne’s priority was finding his wife. He decided to look for her at Michaela’s best friend, Amanda Fox’s mansion.Thorne took his car keys and drove to the Fox mansion. He hoped he might find his wife hiding at Amanda’s mansion. He didn’t understand why she moved out of their marital home after being proven innocent.He walked to the door and pressed the bell. Amanda opened the door but she didn’t let him inside and asked coldly, “Mr Ferguson, how may I help you?” Thorne smiled and asked, “Are you not going to let me in?”Amanda looked at him coldly but she didn’t utter a word. Thorne smiled and asked, “Is my wife her
Paula looked at her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I didn’t trust Michaela’s words. I wanted to tell Michaela that I was pregnant. Also, I wanted to ask her to divorce Thorne because he didn’t love her.”Her grandfather was so disappointed in her granddaughter and said, “After you were injured, Thorne sent his wife to prison. He also destroyed the Miller Group.Since the surveillance footage was destroyed, the court relied on Sloane’s testimony. As a result, Michaela was sentenced to twenty years in prison for a crime she didn’t commit.I was overjoyed when she was proven innocent. She is a good child. Her parents have raised her well. She is gentle and kind. She is one in a million. Mr Ferguson was blind to divorce such a woman.”At that moment, Thorne walked to the ward then he greeted Mr Cage senior with respect, and said, “Paula, I am glad that you are awake. Why did you ask Michaela to meet you?”Paula looked at Thorne with sadness in her eyes and replied, “I wanted to tell her t
At the Ball mansion, Mr Ball and his wife, Getty, were in the living room watching a Rugby match between South Africa and New Zealand. Mrs Ball was a staunch supporter of the All Blacks.They were chatting and laughing. Unbeknownst to them the storm was brewing. Their lives would be not the same again.At that moment, someone knocked on the door. They thought it was their daughter, Sloane. Mrs Ball opened the door smiling but her smile froze when she saw the unwelcomed guests.She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the ruthless Thorne on her doorstep. She was thinking of shutting the door to their faces but she dismissed that idea.She mustered her courage and invited them to the house. Mr Ferguson followed Mrs Ball to the living room with his bodyguards in tow.Mr Ball nearly peed on his pants when he saw Mr Ferguson enter the living room. Thorne Ferguson was famous for being ruthless.Mr Ball forced a smile and said, “What a pleasant surprise, Mr Ferguson. How may I help you, Sir
After Thorne left the Ball mansion, he went to the mansion he shared with Michaela. When they were still married, Thorne had never visited his wife’s bedroom. Also, Michaela was forbidden to enter the master bedroom.Since Thorne’s heart was stolen by Paula, he decided not to touch his wife in respect of his first love. Their marriage was in name only.When his beloved Paula threatened him that she would disappear again should Thorne fail to get a divorce, Thorne rushed home with a signed divorce agreement.When he arrived home, Michaela was in the living room watching her favourite Telenovela, My Brother’s Keeper.Thorne handed the divorce agreement to her, but Michaela refused to sign the divorce papers. Thorne was so angry that he tore her clothes, then he forced himself on her. Hence, she got pregnant.He went to Michaela’s bedroom and laid down on her bed with his clothes and shoes.He never thought that there would come a time when he would want to see Michaela’s face so desperat
When Storm’s private jet landed at Los Angeles International Airport, Michaela started panicking. What if her future mother-in-law despised her because she had been married to Thorne before?What if she hated her because she would not be able to give her grandchildren? Storm sensed something was off and asked, “What is wrong, my love?”Michaela looked at Storm and said, “Honey, what if Auntie despised me because of my past?”Storm hugged her tightly and replied, “As long as I love you, my mother will love you more. She cannot wait to meet the girl who stole my heart.Honey, don’t worry your stunning face, we are fated. Not even death can separate us. I love you with every fiber in my body.”Michaela nodded her head, then she made up her mind to focus on positive things. The Lord would not have saved her from the ruthless inmates to allow her to suffer at the hands of her mother-in-law.She had a different mindset when they got out of the private jet. She hugged Storm’s arm, smiling fr
Archie was puzzled when he heard David’s words, but he didn’t take them to heart. After Archie and others watched the footage, he fixed the stranger’s blurry face.He was shocked when he saw the man who was kissing Michaela. He was Thorne’s replica.He looked at Thorne and asked, “Do you see that this man is wearing your face, Thorne?”Thorne started panicking. An uneasy feeling overwhelmed him. Was it possible that Michaela left with that impostor because she thought it was him?He couldn’t breathe. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, but he still had suffocation in his chest. He responded in a shaky voice, “Please find my wife, Archie. She might be in danger.”After Archie confirmed that the number plate registration was correct, he retyped it, but the answer was the same. He looked at Thorne and said, “It would be difficult to find the man who took your wife, Thorne because he looked exactly like you.Are you sure that Paula regained consciousness on the same day as the video c
While the hospital staff was helping her mother to be comfortable, Sloane quickly sent the voice recording to Samson. She wanted to see how he would react after realizing everything was his sister’s doing.When Mr Bale and his wife arrived at the hospital, he rushed to his sister, beaming with joy, and said, “My heart is filled with gratitude to the Lord for healing you, my dearest sister.Also, I thanked the Lord for bringing my niece back to us safe and sound.” Then he kissed his sister on top of her head and hugged his beloved niece tightly.Mildred smiled brightly at her sister-in-law, then hugged her niece tightly and said, “We were so worried about you, my precious niece. I am glad that you came back unharmed.”Sloane smiled at her aunt and replied, “I am so sorry for worrying you, Auntie. Thorne kidnapped me because he thought I was the mastermind behind everything, but it wasn’t true.”Her mother looked at her with a confused expression and asked, “Sloane, what really happened
A suffocating feeling overwhelmed Thorne when Sloane mentioned his wife’s name. He was reminded of Michaela’s kindness and her gentleness. She had loved him deeply and he was her everything. However, he failed to cherish her.It was clear that Paula became bold because of his indulgence. He had never believed his wife when she complained about Paula’s harassment. He felt that Michaela was petty and jealous.When Thorne looked at Sloane, he felt guilty. He was too impulsive. It was clear to him that Sloane was just following Paula's instructions. He looked at Sloane for a long time and said, “Call your parents and let them know that you are alright.”Sloane couldn’t believe her ears and asked, “Huh?” She was so worried about her mother because she had high blood pressure. Thorne smiled and replied, “Go ahead and call your parents.”Sloane dialed her father’s number with trembling hands. When it was connected she said, “Hello, Daddy. Are you well? How is Mommy? Daddy, please don’t worr
Jeff was so shocked that his mind went blank. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He didn’t even hear Thorne’s question. He couldn’t believe they were in that mess because of his beloved Paula.It was clear to him that Sloane was following Paula’s instructions. The hatred he had for Sloane vanished.Jeff looked at Thorne and said, “Please pour me a strong alcohol, Thorne. This information is too much for my small brain.” Thorne walked to his bar and poured him a glass of brandy.He was so disappointed in Paula. Was Thorne the only man on the planet?Jeff drank a glass of brandy as if he were drinking water and asked, “Who helped them with the surveillance footage? I heard the Cage family hired the best hackers, but they all failed. Who was the mastermind?”Thorne looked at Jeff as if it was the first time he had seen him. That thought had never crossed his mind. He was thinking about his missing ex-wife. He was reminded of Hacker Stone. Was he the mastermind?Thorne to
After Jeff Cliff left Chief Justice Sithole’s chambers, he drove to the hospital to look for Thorne. Since Thorne was permitted to visit Paula, he spent most of the time in Paula’s ward.Yesterday, when the video clip went viral, he was sleeping. He came back early from work because he had a throbbing headache. He took strong painkillers and fell asleep.When he woke up, he was greeted by the video clip that would change his life forever.He had a smug look on his face before he watched the video clip. He was happy that finally the truth of what happened a year ago would be revealed.After Michaela’s court case, his colleagues started avoiding him. They felt that he was clouded by his emotions to settle the scores on behalf of his dearest Paula. His close friends were aware of how much he adored Paula.He couldn’t believe his eyes when he watched the video clip. His eyes were as big as a saucer. What would Thorne think of him? Would he think he colluded with Sloane to frame Michaela be
Since only two people were allowed in the ICU, Mrs Bale kissed her sister-in-law on her forehead and went to the Durban Correctional Services to visit her daughter, June.June’s eyes lit up when she saw her mother. She looked at her mother and asked, “Is everything alright, Mommy?”Her mother shook her head and replied, “Your aunt is in hospital in a coma.” June was so worried that she asked, “What happened to Aunt Getty, Mommy?”Tears flowed uncontrollably down her face and she replied, “Your cousin offended Mr Ferguson. Your aunt didn't take the news well and then she fainted.”June couldn’t believe her ears and asked, “What did my cousin do, Mommy?”Her mother wiped her tears and replied, “Paula fell from the third floor because she was drugged by your cousin, and then she framed Mrs Ferguson. She also destroyed the surveillance footage.”June was utterly speechless. Where did Sloane get the confidence to offend the most ruthless man in the city? She was so scared of her aunt's fami
The following day, the Bale couple went to the hospital to visit Getty. Outside the ICU, Mr Bale took out his phone and dialed his brother-in-law. When it was connected, he said, “Brother-in-law, we are outside the ICU.”Mr Ball’s voice was hoarse, and he replied, “I am coming.” His face was haggard as if he was the one who was sick. He greeted the Bale couple and said, “Good morning, there is no change in your sister’s condition.”Mr Bale patted his brother-in-law’s shoulder and asked, “Why don’t you go home to wash and change your clothes? We will keep my sister company.”Mr Ball was reluctant to leave, but his brother-in-law said, “Should my sister wake up while you are at home, I will call you immediately.” He thanked his brother-in-law, then he left.The Bale couple walked to the ICU. They disinfected their hands, then they wore gowns and gloves. Tears welled in Mr Bale’s eyes when he saw his beloved sister’s condition.At that moment, the attending doctor, Dr Sishi, walked in, fo
