She also did her nails and her face.Storm was in the living room waiting in anticipation. He had never seen Michaela dolled up.Madison hid Michaela behind her and asked smiling, “Mr Saxon, are you ready to see your wife?” Storm raised his head and nodded. Madison stepped aside, and then Michaela stood in front of Storm.Michaela’s beauty took Storm’s breath away. He had never seen anyone so beautiful in his entire life.Michaela’s long jet-black hair was cascading over her shoulders.

Mr Saxon Senior smiled at everyone and said, “In-laws, I have invited Pastor John to perform the cleansing ceremony to get rid of my granddaughter-in-law's bad luck.The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. He has surprised us with my granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, we will delay the birthday party for two hours to prepare.”Mr Saxon Senior then turned to Pastor John and said, “Over to you, Pastor.” Pastor John walked towards Michaela and asked everyone to bow their heads.Michaela raised her hands, and then Pastor John stretched his hands and prayed over her. He smiled at her and said, “Michaela, please change into comfortable clothes. I saw the sparkling swimming pool outside.After you change your clothes, then we will complete our cleansing ceremony through baptism. The baptism symbolizes rebirth, and you will become a new creation.”Her mother took Michaela’s hand and led her to the second floor. A lavishly designed bedroom greeted her. Michaela looked a
Earlier, Penny had sent a text message to Clement asking him to meet her at the mall. She wanted to buy a birthday gift for her beautiful sister-in-law.When she arrived at the mall, Clement was already there waiting for her in the parking lot. He got out of his car and walked towards Penny’s car, grinning from ear to ear. Penny smiled shyly when she saw her boyfriend.Clement took her in his arms and kissed her for a long time.

Mr Saxon senior looked at his in-laws smiling and said, “My in-laws, we would like to visit the Miller family for betrothal gifts the following Saturday. What do you think?”Mr Miller was dumbfounded. The Saxon family had done so much for them; he didn’t think they deserved the betrothal gifts. If it weren’t because of Storm, maybe their daughter would never have come out of prison alive.Mr Miller smiled and replied, “My in-laws, please give me some time to discuss this matter with my family.” He wanted to hear his wife’s opinion. Mr Saxon Senior nodded his head and said, “Fair enough, my in-laws.”At that moment, Chef Roy walked into the dining room, followed by the other chefs carrying Silver and Gold Chafing dishes. The aroma of gourmet food filled the dining room.Chef Roy catered for everyone according to their requirements. The food was beyond delicious.

At the Miller mansion during breakfast, Mr Miller looked at his daughter, smiling, and said, “Your mother and I were discussing your betrothal gift ceremony.We feel that it will be unfair to receive betrothal gifts from the Saxon family after everything they have done for us. What do you think, Sweetheart?”A faint smile appeared on Michaela’s face when she thought about Storm’s response and replied, “I understand where you come from, Daddy. Let them be, Daddy.I discussed this matter with Storm this morning, trying to persuade him not to bring the betrothal gifts.However, he indicated that it was a token of appreciation to thank you for raising me well.I was so blind, Daddy. For the past two years, I have tried to be Thorne’s good wife. However, Thorne was always cold towards me and never respected me as his wife. He even allowed his friends to humiliate me. I was just a joke to him.I thought if I stayed beside his side obediently, he would see the goodness in me and love me back
Archie Lane looked at David May and replied, “After Michaela vanished into thin air, Thorne went crazy. He has been searching for her everywhere.It is true that it is only when we have truly lost someone we finally gain clarity. At that moment, Thorne realized that he had fallen in love with Michaela for a long time, and he wanted her back.He even moved back to their matrimonial mansion and hasn’t slept a wink since that day. He is waiting patiently for her.”At that moment, two waiters brought their food. It was mouth-watering. David smiled and thanked them. The food was delicious.David was dumbfounded. He looked at Archie puzzled and asked, “Didn’t he tell us only Paula would be the mother of his children? Didn’t he sever ties with his friends because of Paula? Did Paula develop amnesia after the fall?”Archie shook his head and replied, “Everything that happened was orchestrated by Paula. She wanted to force Thorne’s hand in marriage.”David couldn’t believe his ears and asked, “
In Malibu, Owen was in his office preparing a lawsuit against the South African Justice System for wrongfully convicting his sister-in-law for a crime she didn’t commit.Owen had been communicating with Chief Justice Sithole regarding Michaela’s matter.

Do you mind giving us an extension until tomorrow morning?The new evidence has resurfaced. I found out that Miss Ca
After Doreen submitted the reports to Chief Justice Sithole she heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked the Lord for His faithfulness.David took Doreen’s hand and escorted her to the living room. He sat beside her and said, “Darling, my mother has been waiting years to meet her daughter-in-law. Do you mind if we visit her tomorrow?”Doreen was taken aback she didn’t expect her boyfriend to introduce her to her future mother-in-law so soon. She thought they would date for a few years before he introduced her to his family.She smiled at her boyfriend and replied, “Yes, I would love to meet her, David.” David took her hand into his arms and asked, “Sweetheart, could you please change the way you are addressing me?”Doreen smiled shyly at David and stammered, “Ho-ne-y.” David was so happy that he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. David released her when they were panting.Since it was late, David decided to drive his sweetheart to her apartment. He parked his car in her driv
Clement parked his car in the driveway, and he walked to the mansion. However, he forgot to bring his set of keys.Before he knocked on the door, his mother opened the door and asked, “What are you doing here, Clement? Didn’t you choose your rich girlfriend over us?”Clement shook his head and replied, “I didn't choose Penny over you, Mom. I love you so much, Mom. However, I will never allow you to interfere in my private affairs. I have waited for Penny for seven years, and no one will separate us.”Clement greeted his father with respect and sat on the sofa. On the coffee table, there were several vacation brochures. He looked at them and asked, “Where are you going, Mom?”His mother beamed with joy and replied, “I am taking Briana and her mother to celebrate my birthday in Hawaii. Please transfer thirty thousand dollars into my bank account, Son.”Clement ignored his mother. He looked at his parents and said, “Dad, Mom, I will be visiting the Earl family for their daughter’s betrot

What if he told everyone about her plot to kill her daughter? She wished she could change the hands of time.Tears welled in her eyes when she thought about the ten thousand rand she had lost.

Lawyer Benz had never been humiliated like that before. He wished the ground could open and swallow him.

I am in so much pain, but that nurse gave me a lousy Panado.”The attending doctor looked at her expressionless and replied, “Miss Morgan, please stop being unreasonable. The nurse is doing everything to keep you comfortable.If you feel this hospital is beneath you, why don’t you transfer to the private hospital? I am sure that they will cater to all your needs.”A surge of anger rose in Bella’s heart when she heard the doctor calling her Miss Morgan and said, “Doctor, please refrain from calling me Miss Morgan. Please call me by my name.Do you think I will come to this dump if I have money? Please give me the strong painkillers immediately, or I will report you to the higher-ups.”Bella hated her biological father,
