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
At the Pretoria General hospital, Jonathan was sitting next to his mother’s bed waiting for her to wake up. The moment she opened her eyes it was blurry.She held Jonathan’s hand and said crying, “Timothy, I knew that you loved me the most and you would never allow anyone to bully me. Please forgive me for the pain I’ve caused our family. I was jealous of your relationship with Mark.I promise that I will never harm them again. Please apply for medical parole for me. Jonathan told me that Tamara’s boyfriend is the Area Commissioner at the Pretoria Correctional Centre.Please speak to him about early release. I know that I was wrong. I will change for the better.” Jonathan was dumbfounded. He was so worried about nothing.Did his mother allow herself to be stabbed on purpose in order to get his father’s forgiveness?He shook his mother’s hand and said, “Mom, did you stage the stabbing?” His mother blinked her eyes, she was shocked to see Jonathan. Was she hallucinating when she saw Tim

Zion took the bouquet of red roses from the backseat and gave them to Tamara.She smiled brightly and thanked him. Then Zion opened the door for her, then he walked to the driver’s side. He helped her to fasten the seatbelt, then he drove away. Zion smiled at Tamara and asked, “are you hungry?”Tamara smiled back at him and replied, “I’m not that hungry.” Zion told her that he was taking her to His Glory Hotel for dinner first, and then they would go to see a movie. Tamara was happy to hear that because she was starving.Since Zion had made a reservation beforehand, Manager Zach ushered them to their private room. Their table was dec
Zion arrived at home after 11 pm, he parked his car in the garage then he decided to send a text message to his fiancé to tell her that he had arrived safely. He saw the attached folder from Manager Zach.When he opened it he saw photos of his engagement and a video clip. He was thanking him in his heart because he had forgotten to arrange for someone to take photos of them. He was a godsend.He clicked on the video clip, then he sent it to Tamara. He decided that he would go to His Glory hotel the following day to thank Manager Zach personally. He made his day special.When he walked to the house he was surprised to see his grandmother waiting for him in the living room. She was so anxious, she wanted to know if her granddaughter-in-law accepted the proposal or not.Zion beamed at his grandmother, then he held her hands and asked, “Grandma, why are you sitting here so late?” His grandmother smiled brightly and replied with a question, “Did my granddaughter-in-law accept your proposal

Tamara smiled brightly at her and showed her the ring. Ann Noah screamed and said, "Congratulations President, your ring is so beautiful."Tamara thanked her, and then Ann Noah left the office. She quickly sent the invite to the managers. They were puzzled since Secretary Ann Noah didn't tell them the agenda.The office had two big boardrooms; they were divided by partitions. Then she asked the maintenance staff to remove the partition and put more chairs.Cole Group had five hundred staff members, so it was not easy to find a company th

A week had passed since Serene's baby shower event. However, the atmosphere at the Johnson residence was still tense.

Since it was hot, Serene's door was wide open.He was about to knock on the door when he heard her saying, "Sandra, I have no doubt in my mind that the old witch would come and fetch me. Failing that, I will starve myself like last time, and then they will be forced to take me back.My baby is my secret weapon. I knew that James' father didn't like me, but I didn't think he would sabotage my baby shower event and sow discord between me and you guys. Everyone hates me now because of him. I hate him so much.When I have James' heart I will send his father to the Old Age Home with that pretentious witch.I hate James for abandoning me, but I will endure it until he falls in love with me again, then I will avenge myself. I'm so happy there is no harmony in that house. I hope they will divorce." Serene felt that someone
