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
At 6 am, David dialed His Own Image Boutique’s boss, Miss Joy Dube. When it was connected he said, “Hello, Miss Dube. Are you well?” Miss Dube indicated that everything was well with her.Then David asked her to prepare two dresses, shoes and handbags. He indicated that he would send his bodyguard, Graeme, to fetch the clothes. Then they hung up.Immediately, David dialed Graeme Avis’ number and asked him to fetch the clothes at His Own Image Boutique. Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower.At 7 am, he was handsome in a custom-made black suit with a red tie. At that moment, there was a knock on his door. He smiled broadly when he saw his grandfather and said, “Come in, Grandpa.”David led him to the sofa and said, “Good morning, Grandpa. Did you sleep well?” His grandfather beamed and replied, “Good morning, my precious grandson. I slept like a log. Thank you.My precious grandson, you have brought nothing but joy into our lives. Our hearts are full of gratitude to the Lord for
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
When they arrived at their private room, Owen was standing next to the floor to ceiling window looking afar. He turned and walked towards his brother and sister-in-law. 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. She couldn’t contain her excitement. She nearly introduced herself to him, but she managed to restrain herself. Michaela didn’t lie to her.Unbeknownst to her, Storm had asked Director Samuels to drop by their pr
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. She wanted to hold her husband’s hands, but she wouldn’t dare because he
At the Saxon estate, after breakfast, Michaela smiled at her mother-in-law and said, “Mom, I am going to the Wells mansion to look for medicinal herbs.”Her mother-in-law beamed and replied, “Sweetheart, I will accompany you. Let me fetch my handbag.” Michaela smiled and thanked her mother-in-law.Judy and her daughter-in-love were ushered to the lavishly decorated living room twenty minutes later.Geoffrey was over the moon when he saw Judy. He had been chasing her for a long time.He was hoping that since Storm had been married, Judy would give him an answer. Judy loved him as well, but she was scared to commit.Orlando kissed Judy and Michaela on both cheeks, beaming with joy. Then Geoffrey took Michaela to the medicinal herb garden. Michaela was over the moon when she saw rare herbs.She looked at Uncle Geoffrey and said, “Your medicinal garden is rich. Do you have any ailment that needs attention, Uncle Geoffrey?”Geoffrey shook his head and replied, “No, I don’t have any ailment
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. Then they looked at Doreen and asked, “Miss Bernie, is your sister telling the truth?”Doreen nodded her head and replied, “It is true. However, I was defending myself. Naomi broke up with her fiancé and blamed me for it.She rushed to me and tried to slap me, but I dodged. Then I slapped her twice on the face. She told me that she wanted to destroy my life. Fortunately, I recorded her.” Then she played the voice recording.Doreen asked for the police officers' phone numbers, then she forwarded the voice recording to them and her boyfriend, David.Naomi nearly fainted with anger. Who gave Doreen th
Tristan went to the bedroom and walked to the closet, where he started packing his clothes in the luggage bag. Fortunately, he didn’t have many clothes in his fiancée’s apartment.Noami followed him behind. She was so shocked when he saw him packing his clothes. 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
