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.

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
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
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
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
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 worry
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?
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
Clement smiled at his fiancée, Penny, and said, “Darling, my parents want to meet your parents to discuss the betrothal gifts and our wedding.They didn’t believe me when I told them that your family doesn’t love you because you decided to be a girl in your mother’s womb.I don’t know what to do, Sweetheart. Is it possible to arrange a meeting for them to meet?Penny shook her head and replied, “There will be no meeting between the two families, Honey. My family will never accept you because of your family background. Why don’t we just get married?”Clement shook his head and said, “Sweetheart, do you mind reaching your parents for the last time? What if they agree to meet my family?”Penny laughed out loud and replied, “That will never happen, not even in your dreams. My father started the Earl Group from scratch, and he looked down on people who were not in the same social circle as him.After meeting my parents, your parents will hate me and I don’t think they will allow you to mar

He hugged his brother and kissed Michaela on both cheeks.At that moment, Michaela’s phone started ringing. Her eyes lit up when she saw the caller ID and said, “Hello, big sis. Have you arrived?”Amanda smiled brightly and replied, “I am at the reception area, baby sis. Please fetch me.” Then they hung up.Storm looked at Owen smiling and said, “Brother, please fetch your future wife from the reception area.” Owen smiled broadly, then he headed to the reception area to fetch the lady who made his heartbeat race so fast.While Amanda was waiting for Michaela, she saw Director Samuels walking towards the lifts.

After lunch, Storm looked at his wife with tenderness in his eyes and said, “Sweetheart, please invite Amanda to join us for dinner at His Love Hotel. Owen wants to confess his love to her. I hope Amanda will give him a chance.”Michaela was overjoyed and replied, “I am so happy for Amanda. She wanted to confess her love to him, but she held herself back because Owen was very busy. She didn’t want to be a distraction.”Then Michaela took his phone and dialed Amanda’s number. When it was connected she said, “Hello, big sis. Are you well?”Amanda smiled and replied, “Hello, my stunning baby sister. All is well with us. How are you?”Michaela smiled and said, “All is well with us too. I miss you so much. My husband is taking me to His Love Hotel for dinner tonight. Do you mind joining us?”Amanda shook her head and asked, “Do you want me to be a third wheel?” Michaela giggled and replied, “I heard that Director Samuels will be at the hotel looking for a female lead for his new movie.Did
In Malibu, Owen Wells was sitting on the sofa in deep thought. He had faint smile in his handsome face. He was thinking about the beautiful lady who made his heart skipped a beat.At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Owen furrowed his brows because he had told his secretary that he didn’t want to be disturbed. He looked at the door annoyed and said, “Come in.”Owen’s face lit up when he saw his brother, Storm. They hugged each other laughing. He looked at his brother and said, “What a pleasant surprised, Brother. Is everything alright?”Storm smiled broadly and replied, “I came to wish you all the best for today’s trial, brother. I hope the judge will lock that animal and throw the keys away. I think we are in the end of the days, the cruelty in men is shocking.”At 2 pm, Owen would be in court. He was hired by the deceased family to seek justice for their precious daughter who died in the hands of her husband.Her husband ganged up with his mistress and killed the legally w
Mr Bale was falling apart. He was overwhelmed with grief. His wife, Mildred, hugged him tightly and said, “Honey, you have to be strong for your brother-in-law.”Mr Bale was reminded of his sister’s words, then he wiped the tears and said, “Let’s go to the hospital, my wife.”Then they rushed to the Ferguson Private Hospital to be with their brother-in-law. When they arrived at Mrs Ball’s private ward, Mr Bale hugged his brother-in-law tightly crying.Mr Bale wiped away the tears and said, “My deepest condolences for your loss, brother-in-law. I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing us to say goodbye to her.”His brother-in-law nodded his head and replied, “All the signs were there, brother-in-law. Her feet were already cold. Hence, I was reluctant to leave her. Brother-in-law, please say goodbye to your sister.”Tears were streaming down Mr Bale’s face. He held his sister’s hand and said, “You left too soon, my dearest sis. I thought you would walk my niece down the aisle with my b
Mr Ball shook his head and replied with sadness in his voice, “My wife, our daughter was denied bail because of the two additional charges. My lawyer tried his best but the crimes she committed were serious.”Getty looked at her husband with eyes full of love and said, “It’s not your fault, Hubby. Please take care of our daughter while she is in prison. I know that you are busy at the company. Please try your best, my love.”When Mr Ball heard his wife’s words, he felt uneasiness. It was as if his wife was saying goodbye to him.Mr Ball suppressed the fear in his heart and replied, “Please fight, Sweetheart. During the bail application hearing our daughter heard that you were in a coma and she had been anxious.As soon as you are discharged, we will visit our daughter together. I miss you so much and our home is cold without you, my dearest wife.”Tears welled up in Getty’s eyes but she managed to hold them back.

Isaac walked to the door and opened it. The two police officers entered, then they greeted Pastor Bernie with respect, and said, “Pastor, we received a call indicating that someone has been assaulted.”Naomi approached the police officers and replied, “I made a call because my sister Doreen assaulted me. Please take her away. I want her to rot in jail.”The police officers were dumbfounded.

She snatched the luggage bag from her fiancé’s hands.Naomi looked at Tristan with eyes full of tears and asked, “What are you doing, Tristan? You are dumping me because I want a big wedding?”Tristan looked at her and replied, “No. You dumped me first when you started looking down on me because of my salary. There is no future for us, Naomi. I cannot marry someone who sees me as a failure.”Naomi shook her head and said, “Tristan, I have never said you are a failure, but I am disappointed in your lack of ambition.”Tristan looked at her for a long time and asked, “Didn’t I tell you that my dream was to become a doctor? Was that not ambitious enough for you?I don’t understand why you accepted my engagement ring, since deep in
