Mr Fish looked at his son-in-law and said, “Son, I was wrong, but to err is human, to forgive is divine.” Patrick smiled at his father-in-law and replied, “All is forgiven, Dad. Victoria missed you so much.”Mrs Fish was so happy to hear her son-in-law’s words. She looked at him and said, “I was so sad when I saw Victoria and her husband on The Ark TV, you didn’t even invite us to our granddaughter’s wedding.”Patrick smiled and replied, “I’m sorry for not inviting you to her engagement banquet. We haven’t had a big wedding yet because she discovered that she was pregnant, then we postponed the wedding.However, they registered their marriage eight months ago.” His mother-in-law was smiling brightly at her son-in-law and asked, “Is her husband a good man? Is he coming from a good background?”Patrick nodded his head and said, “The Anthony family is treating her as a treasure. My son-in-law, Mark, is a good man, he loves her so dearly. The Anthony family is very wealthy Mom.”Olga was
Shortly Mark arrived at the Anthony mansion, his father was so happy to see them. He hugged his son and kissed his daughter in love and said, “Every time I see you my children you bring joy in my heart. I love you so much.”They were so touched that they hugged him. Mark looked at his father and said, “I love you more Dad, having you in my life is a blessing. Every minute I spend with you I learn new things.”His father smiled brightly at his son and replied, “I thank the Lord every day for blessing me with a son like you and for blessing the Anthony family with a kind-hearted daughter in love like my daughter in love. You are so special to me.”They had tears in their eyes. Then Mark excused himself and took his wife to their bedroom for a nap. He held her in his arms, and shortly Victoria fell asleep. Mark left the bedroom to join his father in the living room.He sat on the sofa, smiled at his father, and asked, “Where is my brother?” His father replied, “he went to visit his mothe
On Sunday morning, Victoria woke up early to prepare breakfast before her father-in-law left to meet the Interior Designer. She made home-made croissants and baked muffins, then she prepared a full English breakfast.Then she cut the fruit into small cubes to make a fruit salad, then she poured a double plain yoghurt and placed it in the fridge.She saw her husband coming into the kitchen. She smiled and said, “good morning my love, did you sleep well?”Mark smiled back at her, then he kissed her and replied, “good morning Sweetheart, I slept well thank you and you?”Victoria told him that she slept well. Then Mark looked at her and said, “If I remember correctly, you were forbidden to enter the kitchen, what are you doing here alone?”Victoria looked down and replied, “When I woke up you were sleeping peacefully, and I was scared to disturb you. My handsome husband, I understand that you are worried that I might hurt myself and I’m sorry that I didn’t wake you up.”Mark took his wife
At the Johnson residence, Mr Johnson was sitting in the living room watching Victoria’s 3D ultrasound scan CD. He was grinning from ear to ear when he saw the twins.His wife approached him and asked, “Hubby, what are you watching?” Her husband smiled broadly and replied, “Mark and Victoria asked me to be their children's Godfather, and then they gave me their 3D ultrasound scan CD to watch.”His wife was so upset and said, “Hubby, do you think it is appropriate for you to watch Victoria’s babies in our house in front of Serene?” Her husband sneered, “your daughter in law doesn’t respect me, do I need to care about her feelings?”Whilst they were talking Serene and James joined them in the living room. Serene wanted to binge watch her favourite TV shows on DStv Catch Up. She was annoyed when she saw her father-in-law watching television.James approached his father and asked, “What are you watching Dad?” His father told him that he was watching Victoria’s 3D ultrasound scan CD. James
At the Anthony residence, Mark and Jonathan were sitting in the garden talking. Mark looked at Jonathan and said, “Brother, please don’t ask my wife to move your mother to a single cell.I don’t want to see my wife being agitated since she is pregnant.” Jonathan was annoyed and replied, “Brother, it’s not my intention to upset my sister-in-law, but my mother’s life is at stake. What if her inmate killed her?”Mark glared at him and replied, “Your mother deserves it. Did your mother think about my wife and my children? Did she think about me and my father? Your mother is heartless.I wish Beauty would beat her up every day, maybe she would turn over a new leaf.” Then he left Jonathan alone in the garden.Jonathan was dumbfounded he didn’t know that his brother hated his mother that much. He promised his mother that he would move her to a single cell, and no one would stop him from talking to his sister-in-law.His father and his father-in-law came back whilst he was talking with Jonath
At that moment, Zion received a call from his deputy indicating that Mrs Anthony had been stabbed. She had been rushed to the Pretoria General Hospital.Zion looked at Jonathan and said, “Brother-in-law, something happened to your mother, I will take you to the hospital to see her.” Then he excused himself and left with Jonathan in a hurry.Jonathan was so scared, he thought Zion was hiding something from him. Maybe his mother was already dead. When they arrived at the hospital, they saw two policemen.They approached the two policemen and Zion asked, “What happened? How is Mrs Anthony?”One of them replied, “Mr White, Mrs Anthony is in the emergency room, she was stabbed by Beauty on both thighs. The inmates told us that Mrs Anthony promised Beauty that she would ask young Mr Anthony to visit her in prison. She was given three days to deliver but she couldn’t, hence the stabbing.”Jonathan was confused. Why did his mother promise to bring his brother to the prison to visit Beauty? It
Mrs Johnson and her daughter-in-law, Serene, walked into Dr Cain’s office at 9:50. He greeted them with a smile and said, “Let’s go to the room that I prepared for you.It accommodates five people. I forgot to ask Mr Johnson if he needed a bigger or a medium-sized room.”When they arrived, the nurse was already there waiting for Dr Cain. “How many people are you expecting Mrs Johnson?” asked Dr Cain smiling.Mrs Johnson replied, “We didn’t have time to invite Serene’s friends, so it would be just our family. Everyone is busy, unlike the Anthony family who have so much time on their hands.I heard that the whole family accompanied Victoria. It is clear to me that they had planned their session for a long time.”Dr Cain looked at Mrs Johnson and replied with anger, knowing very well that uttering the following words would be against doctor-patient confidentiality, “that is not true Mrs Johnson, it is impossible for the Anthony family to be idle.Victoria united with her long lost Aunt,
When Zion arrived at the Anthony residence, Mark was alone in the living room reading a newspaper. He looked at Zion and asked, “How is Auntie Grace?” Zion was taken aback when he heard Mark ask him about Mrs Anthony’s well-being.Then he replied, “She will live. Her doctor told me that the knife missed the femoral artery. It is clear that Beauty didn’t want to kill or cripple her but to teach her a lesson. How was your relationship with Mrs Anthony before?”Mark indicated to him that they had zero relationship. Zion was puzzled because of the promise made by Mrs Anthony to her inmates.Then he told Mark that Mrs Anthony had promised her inmates that she would bring him to the prison to visit Beauty. Mark was dumbfounded when he heard Zion’s words.He laughed out loud and said, “Auntie Grace had overestimated herself. Where did she get confidence from? She is nothing to me. I tolerated her because she was married to my father.” Then he asked Zion to follow him to the garden.They sat o

He felt that they were not happy to be around him.He looked at his sister, Rebecca, and asked, "Did you force your brothers to come?" Rebecca smiled but she didn't utter a word.At that moment, Victoria entered the house. She was coming from the premarital counseling with Pastor Basil.

Since Victoria was thirty-nine weeks pregnant, the Anthony siblings decided to hold their father's 50th birthday banquet at the Anthony residence. Dr Cain advised Victoria to give birth naturally and it was an easy pregnancy.Victoria was resting in their bedroom. She was uncomfortable; she visited the bathroom several times to pee. She was cramping and her lower back was painful. She asked her husband to rub her.Mark looked at his wife nervously and asked, "Love, are you having contractions?" 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. Dr Cain said, "Mark, please bring her to the hospital when the contractions are five minutes apart."Mark thanked Dr Ca

After work, Mark fetched his beloved wife from work. On the way home, he stopped his car beside the road. He looked at his wife and said, "Sweetheart, the grandchild of the Young Group accused Rafael of stealing his food.His mother went to His Blessings Day Care and beat up our son. Dad took him to Dr Cain, he gave him something for swelling and pain."Victoria was so angry her eyes turned red. Her husband hugged her tightly and said, "Dad has dealt with the matter." Then he drove the car to their home.When they arrived home, Rafael and Gabriel were waiting for them at the door. As soon as they saw their parents, they rushed to them. "Daddy, Mommy."Rafael ran to his father, and he picked him up. Gabriel ran to his mother, and she picked him up. When Mark saw Rafael's cheek he was so angry and asked gentle, "Son, is it still hurting?"Rafael smiled and replied, "It's not hurting anymore, Daddy. Grandpa put medicine on my cheek." His mother smiled and said, "Let me kiss your cheek to
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. She accused him of stealing food.I give you three days to deal with them. Please don't tell Mark." They hung up the phone. Deon was so shocked he couldn't believe his ears. Who had the guts to provoke Mr Anthony?When Mr Anthony became a grandfather he delegated most of his work to Mark. Mr Anthony and Mr Lewis agreed to take turns fetching their grandchildren from Day Care.When it was his turn to fetch his dumplings, he would drop everything and leave the office smiling. Theodore sent him the surveillance footage. When he saw Owen bullying his precious grandchild, he was so angry his heart ached.He went to Dr Cain's office with his grandsons in his arms. He decided
Two years later….It was Grandpa Anthony's turn to fetch his little dumplings from His Blessings Day Care that week. His grandsons were two and a half years old. They were his pride and joy.He parked his black Mercedes Benz in the parking lot, then he walked slowly to the school gate and waited. He was fifteen minutes early, he didn't want his little dumplings to wait for him.His trusted bodyguard, Zane, parked his car beside his boss' car. He was responsible for the well-being of Mr Anthony's grandchildren. A few minutes later, more parents came.As soon as the security guard opened the gate, the young lady rushed towards the three-year-old classroom. As soon as she entered the classroom, she shouted and said, "Baby, show me the boy who ate your sandwiches."Her son pointed his finger at Rafael; the young lady rushed to Rafael and slapped him hard. Mr Anthony tried to block the slap but he was a second too late. He took crying Rafael in his arms and asked fuming, "Why are you beatin
Abigail was in her mansion watching the Press Conference crying. She didn't know that there was evidence proving that her beloved mother had been killed by her stepmother.She was shocked like everyone else when the name of the Limpopo Pharmacy was displayed on the big screen. She was reminded of her father's slaps when she told him that her mother had been killed by her stepmother.She was glad when she saw her stepmother being arrested together with Rosemary. She was so angry with Rosemary for slandering her. Her husband encouraged her to press charges against Rosemary.Even though she was reluctant, she decided to press charges.

Rosemary was annoyed but she didn't utter a word. Mrs Gates was fuming, it was clear to her that Rosemary had taken them for a ride. However, it was too late to regret, that the damage was already done.Mr Gates' heart was bleeding; he was reminded of his daughter's words when she asked him why he believed Mrs Johnson but not her.When he thought about the slaps he felt suffocated. There was sorrow in his eyes. He really let down his late wife.Mrs Gates looked at her husband and said, "Dear, we have to go to Abigail's company and ask for forgiveness. We have wronged her. We can shift all the blame to Miss Gable and tell her that we were misled by her."Her husband shook his head and said, "I think it is too late, my love. I don't think she will ever forgive me. You didn't see the hatred in her eyes.Also, we have already cut off all ties with her. Let's go back home after tomorrow and forget about her." He was disappointed in himself.The following day, Mr Johnson called Mr Anthony to
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. I want to see how Emmanuel will protect his wife, Abigail, first before I make my move." Theodore was so shocked, Rosemary was ruthless but he was relieved to hear his uncle's words. "Uncle Timothy, in honestly speaking, I don't have any faith in Mr Johnson. He is too soft-hearted."Uncle Timothy laughed and replied, "Th
