Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
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. Chief Justice Sithole had promised him that he would submit a detailed report explaining what transpired during Miss Miller’s case.Owen was supposed to receive the report from Chief Justice Sithole the previous day at 6 pm.After he came back from the Miller mansion, he checked his e-mails, but there was nothing in his inbox.At 11 am, Owen took his phone and dialed an overseas number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, Chief Justice Sithole. Your office has not submitted the report as promised. Is there a problem, Chief Justice Sithole?”Chief Justice Sithole had sweat on his forehead and replied, “Hello, Mr Wells. 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
Early in the morning, Doreen received a call from Chief Justice Sithole. He said, “Miss Bernie, I apologize for speaking harshly. I didn’t mean any harm. I was under a lot of stress. Please forgive me, Miss Bernie.”Doreen was not angry at Chief Justice Sithole. If he hadn't threatened her, maybe she would have missed her future husband or their meeting might have been delayed.When she thought about David's handsome face, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and replied, “It is water under the bridge, Chief Justice Sithole. Nothing happens by mistake in my life. What will happen next, Sir?”Chief Justice Sithole replied, “We will have an urgent Zoom meeting with Mr Gardener and Mr Cliff at 9 am to suspend them whilst we investigate this matter thoroughly.Also, we have to press charges against Miss Ball for perjury. I want to teach her a lesson that she will never forget.She is treating human life like grass. I heard that she bribed the inmates to torment Miss Michaela
Bryce Gardner was packing his stuff in a daze. Should he lose his job, he would never forgive Paula for putting it on the line. He didn’t even notice the security guard who was watching him like a hawk.In Jeff Cliff’s office, Jeff was cracking jokes with the security guard trying to suppress fear in his heart. His parents would be so disappointed in him because they knew him as principled.In the Cliff family, Mr and Mrs Cliff were blessed with three sons and a daughter. Jeff was the last born, and he was the first one to graduate from university. He was his parents' pride and joy.After Jeff and Bryce had left their offices, Doreen dialed the Chief of Police, Chief Smith’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Hello, Chief Smith. You are speaking to Doreen Bernie.I would like to press charges of perjury against Miss Sloane Ball. Chief Justice Sithole indicated that he wants Miss Ball to be arrested before the end of business.”Chief Smith nodded his head and replied, “Hello, Mis
Sloane lowered her gaze to hide her emotions. She heard that Thorne and the others were struggling to allocate Mr Clive Rose’s whereabouts. Therefore, she decided to shift all the blame to him.Paula underestimated the height between the floors. She never thought that she would be seriously injured. So, they never discussed what would happen after they successfully framed Michaela.Sloane took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and replied, “Before Paula got injured, she told me to follow the mysterious man’s instructions to the tee.After I gave Paula the drugged water, Mr Rose took me to his car and instructed me to testify against Michaela.I was reluctant to testify because it was not my fight. However, he told me that Paula’s injury would be in vain should we fail to frame Michaela.Also, he indicated that no one would be able to restore the footage. How foolish I was.”Mr Chandler was fuming with anger and asked, “Did you ever think about your parents when you commi
After a hectic day, Doreen walked to the parking lot smiling. She was thinking about David’s handsome face. She thanked the Lord for giving her the desires of her heart. She got in the car and drove to her apartment.When Doreen arrived at her apartment, she rushed to her bedroom. She took off her clothes and wrapped herself with a towel, then she walked to the bathroom.Half an hour later, she walked to her closet and chose a blue custom-made knee-high dress. Then she applied light make-up. She wanted to be beautiful for her boyfriend. At 17:50, Doreen sat in the living room waiting for her beloved David. Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Doreen opened the door with a big grin on her face.David handed her a bouquet of red roses. Then he took her in his arms and kissed her on her forehead.Doreen flashed him a beautiful smile and said, "Thank you, Honey. I love them." Then she went to the kitchen to put the flowers in the vase.A few minutes later, David hugged his girlfriend’s
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
Tracy threw herself on the bed with her shoes and face full of make-up. Her body was trembling with fear. What would happen to her beloved daughter if she were arrested? Sweat formed on her forehead. She was really terrified.Tracy’s mind was racing. She was thinking of how to destroy the young man’s phone. To be on the safe side, she needed to get hold of his phone. Failing which, she would live the rest of her life in fear.What if the young man told Mr Bright about her lies about being abandoned by her ex-husband? 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. She couldn’t even go to the police to report the case of theft because the young man had damning evidence against her.At 18:30, Tracy decided to go to the hospital to tell her beloved daughter that she might be joining her in prison. She quickly changed her clothes and put thick ma
Tracy didn’t sleep a wink. She was tossing and turning, thinking about her beloved daughter. Her dearest daughter would not be able to last even a day in prison. She was delicate like a flower.When Tracy looked in the mirror, she didn't recognize herself. She looked haggard, and she had aged ten years overnight.She quickly washed up. After she dressed up then she took her handbag and left the house without eating. She took a taxi and went to the hospital to visit her daughter.At the Eden Public Hospital gate, she was stopped by the security guard. He told her to come back at 3 pm. Tracy was so anxious that she forgot the hospital visiting hours. She went back home dejectedly.At 3 pm, Tracy walked to her daughter’s ward carrying her beloved daughter’s favourite food and a bouquet of roses. She wanted to cheer up her daughter.At the door of the ward, Tracy was stopped by the police officer. He looked at her and asked, “Who are you visiting, Madam?” Tracy looked at the police office
Reporter Drew sent a text message to Chief Towers thanking her for giving her a tip-off and for saving her career. She indicated that the interview went smoothly and promised her that Bella’s arrest would be on the 10 pm news.Reporter Drew was over the moon. She even sent Chief Towers a copy of the interview. The young police officer handled the interview as if he had rehearsed the interview questions.At the reporter Drew’s company, there was too much competition among themselves and backstabbing.During that time, Drew was in a difficult position, and she needed a break urgently. Her assignments had been snatched by her favoured colleagues for a long time and they were promoted left and right.She was about to give up when her best friend, Sandy Towers, told her about Bella’s arrest. Sandy had delivered the gift to her on a silver platter. Her heart was full of gratitude to the Lord. She thought He had forgotten about her.Unbeknownst to her, the Lord was preparing a table before he
Mr Earl was so happy that he wished he could stand on the rooftop and shout. He parked his car in the driveway and walked to the living room, beaming with joy. Celia was watching MasterChef US Season 14 episodes.Mr Earl smiled broadly at Celia and said, “Celia, I am so happy today, nothing can upset me. Tracy left my life with nothing. I am taking you and my children tonight to celebrate my freedom.”Celia smiled back at her boss and replied, “Congratulations, Sir. I wish you all the best in your healing journey.” Mr Earl thanked her, then he went to his bedroom to change into casual clothes. Celia went to the kitchen to prepare food for her boss.Mr Earl was grinning from ear to ear then he dialed her beloved daughter’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Sweetheart, let’s go to His Love Hotel to celebrate. I am free from your mother’s claws.”Penny giggled and replied, “Congratulations, Daddy. I am so happy for you. I will let Clement know. See you later, Daddy.” Then they hung
Lawyer Benz had never been humiliated like that before. He wished the ground could open and swallow him. He looked at Judge Simmonds and replied, “I wasn’t aware of the voice recording, Your Honour.”Then Lawyer Benz looked at Mrs Earl viciously. Mrs Earl opened and closed her mouth, but nothing came forth. It was the first time she had heard of a voice recording. She thought her husband was punishing Bella because of her.Judge Simmonds looked at Lawyer Benz and said, “I don’t understand why you are wasting the court’s time because your client had signed the agreement indicating she would leave with nothing should she commit adultery.”A surge of anger rose in Lawyer Benz’s heart, but he managed to restrain himself and replied, “I wasn’t aware of the agreement, Your Honour.”He didn’t even want to look at Mrs Earl. If he had known about the agreement, he wouldn’t have taken her case.Judge Simmonds raised his eyes and said, “Lawyer Benz, I want to put in the records that Mr Earl does
At the Eden Public Hospital, after the doctor finished attending to the patients in the Trauma unit, he went to Bella’s ward to examine her.Before the doctor said anything, Bella complained about the nurse, saying, “This hospital is horrible, the nurses are incompetent. 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,
At 4 am, Mr Earl was awakened by Secretary Nelson’s call. He looked at the caller ID, then picked up the phone and said, “Hello, Dash. What is the matter?” He knew that his secretary would never wake him up if there was nothing important.Secretary Nelson scratched his head and replied, “Sir, Mrs Earl has posted on social media that you have removed her daughter from the medical aid, and it went viral. The netizens are threatening to boycott our company.”President Earl couldn’t believe his ears and said, “Dash, thank you for letting me know. Please ask the PR department to remove Tracy’s post with immediate effect. Also, please ask the legal team to send letters to the netizens who are unruly.”Secretary Nelson replied, “Sir, I have already asked the PR department, and they are busy dealing with it.” Secretary Nelson was efficient and a quick thinker.President Earl smiled and said, “Dash, thank you for everything. Having you by my side makes a big difference. What am I going to do wh
Bella was kicking herself for giving Pastor John the pills. She didn’t know what had happened to her heart. She really wanted to reconcile with her sister, but something shifted in her heart when she saw Penny’s stunning legs.She was overwhelmed with jealousy. She wanted to take Penny’s legs. Who gave Penny the right to have legs while she didn’t have them?Unbeknownst to her, Mr Earl was standing outside her private ward listening to every insult she hurled at his beloved daughter. She wished she could press the rewind button.Bella had a deep hatred towards her mother. She destroyed her life. She had never taught her Ubuntu. She told her that Penny was beneath her.A suffocating feeling overwhelmed Bella. She couldn’t breathe. However, she managed to press the bell. Dr Thomas rushed to Bella’s ward. He found Bella had fainted, then Dr Thomas rushed her to the emergency room.When Bella woke up, she started crying sorrowfully. Dr Thomas looked at her and asked, “What is wrong, Bella?
