On their way back home, Victoria was sitting in the car quietly, she missed her mother so much. Her father had sacrificed a lot for her. He was thirty-two years old when his wife passed away.He decided not to remarry to protect his lovely daughter from an evil stepmother. Mark didn’t know what to say to his wife to comfort her.When they arrived home, Mark took his wife to their bedroom, then he helped her to wear pajamas, “Sweetheart, take a nap. I will wake you up when lunch is ready.”Victoria nodded her head; Mark took her in his arms and caressed her back until she fell asleep. Then he headed down to the living room where Aunt Olga was drinking tea. Mark looked at her and asked, “How are you feeling, Aunt Olga?”She smiled and replied, “Nephew-in-law, the Lord has been faithful in my life, my heart was full of hatred towards my father and my monster-in-law. The hatred I used to have towards my father is gone.I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder. When my hus
When they arrived at His Wings restaurant, they bumped into Mr Johnson at the door. He had a meeting with a client. Mr Lewis invited him to join them, and he agreed. They sat around the table.Mr Lewis told him that they were coming from the hospital to do a 3D ultrasound scan. He took out his phone and showed him the photos they had taken. Mr Johnson’s heart melted when he saw baby Pat hugging baby Tim.He wished that the twins belonged to the Johnson family. He lost a good daughter-in-law; James was really blind not to treat Victoria well. Victoria flashed him a bright smile, she was happy to see him.Victoria looked at Jonathan and said, “Brother-in-law, you heard what Dr Cain said, I have to deliver the babies earlier, I think you have to organize a baby shower to be next month.”Jonathan was reminded that he was tasked to organize the baby shower then he smiled brightly and said, “Tamara, would you be so kind as to help me organize this party for my cute nephews?”Tamara smiled a
At the Johnson residence, they were in the dining room eating breakfast. Mr Johnson was smiling from ear to ear. He couldn’t wait to see his grandson on the big screen.He couldn’t sit still, he wished that they could go to the JHB General Hospital right now. His wife looked at him and asked, “What are you happy about?”Her husband smiled and replied, “Someone told me about a 3D ultrasound scan where you can see the baby on the big screen, it will show us if the baby has any deformity, the gender of the baby, and his movement in his mother’s belly.Serene, do you mind doing a 3D ultrasound scan?” They all looked at Serene smiling. Serene looked at her father-in-law with disdain in her eyes and replied, “Sorry, I’m not interested. Did Victoria tell you about the scan?”Mr Johnson was taken aback. His wife looked at him with questioning eyes. Before he gave his response, James was so upset he looked at his wife and said, “What is the matter, Serene, don’t you want to see your baby?Does
When they arrived at Serene’s apartment, Butler Ed was waiting for them. James ushered Serene into the apartment and said, “Serene, listen to me carefully, I don’t care if you are carrying my child.If you ever humiliate my father again, I will destroy you. I will go back now; I want you to stay here and reflect on your mistakes. I think my father did me a favor by not allowing us to get married two years ago.I couldn’t understand previously when people laughed at me for divorcing Victoria for you. I fully understand now. My mother hated Victoria to the core, but not once had she retaliated or disrespected my mother.”Then he left with Butler Ed. Serene couldn’t believe her eyes. James left her all alone even though she was eight months pregnant. She decided to call her mother-in-law.She dialed the landline because she was scared that her mother-in-law would not answer her phone. When the phone was picked up she heard the housekeeper’s voice, then she asked to speak to Mrs Johnson.
A week had passed since Serene was chased out of the Johnson residence; she was in a sorry state. She was hoping that her mother-in-law would soften her heart and bring her back to the Johnson residence.She wasn’t aware that James had threatened her mother to cut ties with her should she take her back. She starved herself. In a week she lost ten kilograms.She took her phone and called Macy; it was the first time she called her after their release from police custody. The call went through, “Hello Macy, how are you doing?”Macy was still mad at Serene and replied, “What do you want, Serene?” Serene was taken aback when she heard Macy’s words and replied, “I’m sorry for everything I put you through, please forgive me.Do you mind visiting me at my apartment? I don’t have food, I’m scared of my baby.” Macy hardened her heart and replied, “It’s none of my business, Serene. Please don’t ever call me again.”Then she dropped the phone. She felt that Serene was using her, she wasn’t a true

Also, I would like to thank my beautiful wife for loving me despite my flaws.I would like to thank my nanny, Auntie Angel, and my butler, Uncle Goodman, for being with me since I was born and, last but not least, I would like to thank Mr Johnson for giving my wife a helping hand when the Lewis family was facing a crisis.”Then Edwin Green smiled at Victoria and said, “Anything from beautiful Mrs Anthony?”Victoria smiled and said, “I would like to thank the Lord for the love that the Anthony family has deposited in my life.

Victoria smiled and replied, "I think so, but I will go to the hospital when my water breaks. Please don't tell Dad."Mark was reluctant; he wanted to take her to the hospital. Victoria kissed him passionately and said, "Don't be nervous my handsome husband, it's just an early labour."Mark called Dr Cain and told him that Victoria was in labour but the water hadn't broken yet.

Mr Anthony asked Zane to take them to JHB General Hospital. He sat with his grandsons in the back seat. He took his phone and dialed Deon's number. "Hello, Mr Anthony."He was puzzled why his boss was calling him, since Mark was in the office. Mr Anthony said, "Cedric Young's daughter-in-law beat up my grandson, Rafael.

When Theodore saw Aunt Abigail's scandal on social media, he was beyond shocked. He quickly called his uncle and said, "Uncle Timothy, have you seen what is written on social media about Aunt Abigail?"Uncle Timothy replied, "Yes, Rosemary fetched Abigail's father to teach her a lesson. Also, she arranged for the reporters to interview her stepmother." Theodore was dumbfounded and asked, "How did she find out about their existence?"Uncle Timothy smiled and replied, "Rosemary investigated Abigail through my friend, Rich. I allowed him to provide information to Rosemary because I wanted to see what she would do with it.Now, it is time for her to face the consequences.
