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
In the blink of an eye, it was Paula’s trial. It was a media sensation. The netizens were glued to their television. The Saxon family and Owen were in the living room waiting for the trial to begin.Ben, the reporter, stopped Paula’s lawyer, Sally Crane, and asked, “Miss Crane, congratulations on being chosen to represent Miss Cage. How is your client going to plead?”Sally Crane smiled and replied, “No comment.” Then she walked to the courtroom. Senior Prosecutor Doreen May walked into the courtroom with Prosecutor Amelia Gardner trailing behind.David May, Thorne Ferguson, his mother, Gail Ferguson, and the Cage family were sitting at the back.Judge Bill walked into the courtroom with four judges in tow, then they sat on the bench. Judge Bill banged her gavel and said, “The court is in session.”She asked Miss Paula Cage to stand. Miss Cage and her lawyer, Sally Crane, stood up. Judge Bill looked at Miss Cage and asked, “How do you plead, Miss Cage?”Miss Paula Cage looked at Judge
At the Earl family mansion, Mr Earl was in the living room with his daughter, Penny, and his son-in-law, Clement. He looked at them and said, “Today, I attended Bella’s court case. She looked haggard and thin.Bella thought the judge would be lenient to her because she was disabled. However, the lawyers hired by the deceased families didn’t show any mercy. They were looking for a heavy sentence.In the end, Bella was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. She couldn’t believe her ears when she heard the verdict; she fainted. Tracy has destroyed the lives of many people.”Even though Penny and Bella’s relationship was bad, she was still her baby sister. She felt sad for her and replied, “I hope Bella will be in the same prison cell with Mom to help her around.”Her father nodded his head, then he decided to change the subject and asked, “My children, is everything ready for your engagement banquet?”Penny shook her head and said, “Daddy, we decided to postpone our engagement banquet
A few days after Mr Ferguson Senior was discharged from the hospital, the Saxon bodyguard called Mr Saxon Senior to give him feedback and said, “Hello, Sir. My source told me that Mr Ferguson Senior is recovering well at home.I also heard that his grandson, Thorne Ferguson, had been searching for young Mrs Saxon high and low since the Ferguson family received the medicine.He was convinced that young Mrs Saxon was in South Africa.” Mr Saxon Senior thanked his bodyguard then they hung up. During breakfast, Grandpa Saxon told his family the good news.One month before Storm and Michaela’s wedding, after dinner, Storm smiled at the elders and said, “Grandpa, Mom, Michaela will be undergoing a uterus transplant in the first week of March.Michaela will visit the psychologist, Dr Gray, for an emotional readiness evaluation when she gets an appointment. We were told that he was fully booked for a month.”Michaela had been undergoing a physical examination to check her overall health. The r
When Bryce and Amelia arrived at the Durban Correctional Services, they requested to see Miss Cage. They were ushered into the interrogation room.A few minutes later, Paula walked to the interrogation room. She smirked when she saw Bryce. She sat down and asked, “What do you want, Bryce?”Bryce looked at his wife, nodded his head, then Amelia looked at Paula and said, “Miss Cage, please note that your court case has been set for the 18th and 19th of this month. Please prepare yourself.”Paula was shocked and asked, “How could you set my court date since you know I don’t have a lawyer?”Amelia’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Whose fault was that, Miss Cage? Didn’t you fire your lawyer because of incompetence?”Paula looked at her and replied, “I made a mistake, Prosecutor Zibi. Where is Miss Bernie?”Amelia shook her head and said, “Senior Prosecutor May is on vacation leave. Do you need me to help you with anything, Miss Cage?”Paula was taken aback when she heard Doreen’s last name
Thorne understood where his grandmother was coming from. She wanted to hold her great-grandchildren before she went to heaven.Thorne looked at his grandmother and asked, “Grandma, I have been asking for forgiveness for months, but you are refusing to forgive me. Am I not your grandson?”His Grandma stopped and looked back at her grandson. She smiled and replied, “My grandson, I have forgiven you a long time ago. However, I don’t want Michaela to be your wife again. She would be better off without you, my grandson.You are so cruel. I don’t know who you took after because your grandfather and your father are kind-hearted. Also, you have an ungrateful heart. If you can search deep in your heart, you will find that you don’t love Michaela.It’s just that she was your backup plan. The only person you truly loved was Paula Cage. After you discovered that she wasn’t the woman you thought she was, you convinced yourself that you loved Michaela, but it is not true.”There was a hint of irrita
On the way home, Mr Ferguson Senior looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Please don’t tell my grandson about Michaela’s gift. I don’t want him to misunderstand.”Before Gail could respond, her mother-in-law chuckled and replied, “Hubby, the package was received and opened by Thorne. He also saw Michaela’s note.He immediately called his private investigator, Archie, and asked him to track down Michaela. Then he took his car keys and left. I think he is with Archie right now.”Her husband shook his head and said, “I don’t think they would be able to find Michaela.”Gail took her phone and dialed her beloved son’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Thorne, your grandfather has been discharged from the hospital. Did Archie manage to find Michaela?”Thorne shook his head and replied, “Michaela sent a boy to the post office to courier Grandpa’s medication. We are trying to track down this young man. Maybe he will be able to give us more information about Michaela’s whereabouts.M
At the Saxon estate, Michaela looked at their grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I heard that Grandpa Ferguson has been hospitalized for the past two weeks.If I had known earlier, I would have sent the Longevity Health Supplements when we were in Zanzibar.”Grandpa Saxon was moved by his granddaughter-in-law’s thoughtfulness and replied, “You are such a good child, my precious granddaughter-in-law. There is a Saxon flight flying to South Africa that is leaving in three hours.We can give the package to the pilot and ask my bodyguard to fetch it from him when they land in South Africa. Then he can courier it to the Ferguson mansion.”Michaela thanked her Grandpa, and she then went to their bedroom. She took six gold cases of Longevity Health Supplements.She wrapped the gold cases, then she put them in a small box. She wrote a note and said, “Get well soon, Grandpa.” Then she signed her name.While Michaela was preparing the package, Grandpa Saxon called the pilot and informed him about t
After David and Doreen exchanged their vows, the newlyweds and their entourage went outside to take photos. They also took photos with their colleagues and friends.Half an hour later, the guests went to the lavishly decorated ballroom for the reception. The DJ played a romantic song, then the newlyweds, together with their best man, Matron of Honour, groomsmen, and bridesmaids, entered the ballroom dancing.The MC, Damon Steel, was standing on the stage smiling from ear to ear. He looked at the guests and said, “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the wedding of David and Doreen. You look so beautiful.” The guests clapped their hands.Then Damon looked at David and said, “Congratulations, David, for receiving a favour from the Lord. You have found a good wife." He looked at the guests and said, "I have been notified that the food is ready.” He then prayed for the food.At that moment, His Faithfulness Resort Chef and the waiters delivered the food to the venue
At the Bernie villa at 10 am, Doreen was in her bedroom with her sister-in-law, Imogen, the bridesmaids and the flower girl waiting for the make-up artist.Last night, the make-up artist promised she would be at the resort by 9 am. Imogen tried calling her several times, but it went straight to voicemail. Imogen was starting to panic because the wedding was starting at noon.At that moment, the resort's stylist team walked into Doreen’s bedroom. They greeted the bride-to-be and said, “We have been sent by our manager to help you and your bridesmaids with make-up.”Doreen understood that it was Mrs Saxon who sent them and said, “Thank you very much.” Then they started doing the make-up.An hour later, Doreen was gorgeous in a strapless Mermaid wedding gown. The cathedral-length veil was gracefully sitting on the bun. Her make-up was flawless, creating a sophisticated look.The Matron of Honour, Imogen and the bridesmaids were stunning in rust floor-length dresses.The flower girl was we
