Mr Timothy Anthony called Chief Smith. He told him that his daughter-in-law had been attacked at Hope Shopping Mall.He sent him the surveillance footage and told him that they had already caught the mugger and he confessed that he was sent by his ex-wife to hurt his daughter in love.Timothy promised to bring the mugger to the police station. Then they hung up the phone. He asked Zane to take the mugger to the police station and to give the evidence to Chief Smith.They went back to the hospital; Timothy called His Wings restaurant to bring food to the hospital. Dr Cain told them that the heart rate of the babies was picking up and it was a good sign, but they weren’t out of the woods yet.They were overjoyed, and they hugged each other. Food was delivered but they had no appetite.Grace was in the same hospital as Victoria, she was waiting for the good news from the mugger that Victoria was in the morgue. Her mood was very good; she was checking her phone constantly.At that moment,
When Dr Cain saw that there was improvement in the babies’ heart rate, he approached Mr Anthony and others and told them that he would keep Victoria overnight for observation.They bowed down their heads and prayed. Mark thanked everyone, then Mr Anthony and the others reluctantly bade goodbye to Mark and Victoria and left the ward. Mr Lewis went home with a heavy heart.He nearly lost her precious daughter today. He thanked the Lord for His mercies. He decided to call Mr Johnson, “Hello Emmanuel, I nearly lost my daughter and my grandchildren today. Please thank James for me.Apparently, the mugger was paid by someone to hurt my daughter, but he changed his mind.” Emmanuel was dumbfounded. Who would hurt Victoria? He asked Patrick, “Who was trying to hurt Victoria, Patrick?”Patrick told him the whole story; Emmanuel was so shocked he didn’t utter a word. He promised to visit Victoria at the hospital, and then they hung up the phone.Emmanuel dropped everything and rushed to the hosp
At Edwards Group, Glen was in his office. The lights were off. He told his assistant that should anyone look for him he wasn’t available. He was hiding from Ravi; a three-day deadline was up. The bank hadn’t contacted him yet.During the verification process, they found out that Edwards Group’s biggest client was declared insolvent. The bank decided not to grant Glen Edwards a loan.At that moment, his phone rang. He hesitated but he decided to take a call, “Hello Mr Edwards, I’m calling from the bank, your loan application was declined because your company's cash flow is not enough to meet its financial obligations since your biggest client was declared insolvent.”Glen Edwards was dumbfounded, he felt like crying since the bank approached him first. “If I revise the loan amount, would you reconsider?”The lady from the bank replied, “We will not reconsider, how are you going to pay the foreign company? We don’t think you will be able to honor your loan repayment. When your financial
Timothy Anthony was tossing and turning, his son nearly lost his beloved wife and children because of him. He married Grace to ease the pain of losing his wife Kimberly.Since his first wife passed away he never smiled, he hardened his heart, and then he buried himself in his empire. He walked to his bathroom to take a shower.Then he wore his black suit with a white shirt and red tie. His eyes were bloodshot; he had dark circles under his eyes. It was clear it was caused by sleep deprivation. Then he headed down to the living room.Theodore and Jonathan were in the living room reading a newspaper. “Good morning, did you sleep well?” They indicated that they didn’t sleep well, they were thinking about their sister-in-law and the babies.He told them that he was tossing and turning, blaming himself for bringing harm to his daughter in love. The Housekeeper and Tamara were busy preparing breakfast.Theodore was reading the newspaper aloud. They were shocked when they saw the first page.
Theodore received a call from the Prosecutor indicating that Grace's court case would take place the following day at 9:00 am. The Prosecutor had pressure from above because the case was affecting the richest man in the country.Mr Timothy didn’t interfere with the case; he wanted the law to take its course. Theodore immediately called his uncle, “Hello Uncle Timothy, I just received a call from the Prosecutor indicating that a court date had been set.The matter is set down tomorrow at 9:00 am. I heard that Auntie Grace was moved to Pretoria Correctional Centre this morning to serve her three-year sentence.I think the court will suggest that Auntie Grace serve her sentence concurrently if she is guilty.” Uncle Timothy replied, “Please prepare well Theodore, I want Grace to be punished harshly.Ensure that there are no loopholes, and collect all the evidence. Grace tried to kill three people; she must be sentenced accordingly.” Theodore bade goodbye to Uncle Timothy then they hung up.
When Detective Blade left, Mark called his father, “Hello Dad, Victoria is planning to visit Auntie Grace in police custody. I have asked Tamara to accompany her. I don’t want her to see Auntie Grace alone.”His father frowned, “I don’t think it would be a good idea to see her now since Dr Cain advised us that she shouldn’t be agitated.Also, Grace is no longer in police custody; she is serving her five-year sentence at Pretoria Correctional Centre. Please ask my daughter in love to visit her maybe next week.Grace is scheming; she might provoke my daughter in love and affect the well-being of my grandchildren.”Mark was shocked to hear that Auntie Grace was in prison serving her sentence. “Thank you Dad, I will advise her accordingly.” Since Victoria was sitting next to her husband, she overheard their conversation.“Sweetheart, Dad is scared that Auntie Grace will provoke you and affect the babies. He asked you to visit her the following week.” Victoria nodded her head and said, “Bab
Thereafter, Judge Harris came. He was wearing a long black robe; he sat on the bench above the witness stand. Judge Harris was famous for being very strict and having a sharp tongue.Judge Harris banged his gavel to indicate that the court was in session. Judge Harris asked Mrs Anthony to stand, “How do you plead?” Mrs Anthony replied, “Not guilty, Your Honor.”Judge Harris asked the Plaintiff's lawyer to proceed. Mr Cole approached the bench and handed the evidence collected by the Private Investigator, Rich Smith, to Judge Harris.Mr Cole indicated that the defendant, Terry, had become the State Witness and would like to call him to the stand. Terry sat on the witness stand; he solemnly pledged that he would speak nothing but the truth.Mr Cole looked at him smiling, “Mr Terry, what is your relationship between you and Mrs Anthony?” Terry replied, “Employer-employee relationship.” Mr Cole asked, “What was your job description?”Terry replied, “My job description was to kill a pregna
Someone leaked the video clip between Mrs Anthony and Terry to the reporters and on social media, it went viral. People were scolding Mrs Anthony for having a black heart.An anonymous person posted a video where Mrs Anthony refused to take five billion rand as a divorce settlement because she wanted His Wings restaurant which belonged to her daughter-in-law.The viewers were up in arms; they called her by nasty names. When they found out that she was at Pretoria Correctional Centre, they vowed that they would visit her just to beat her up.Even the inmates were disgusted by her. When she returned to her cell, some of them slapped her hard. Some they wet her bed and all her blankets. They took her food and ate it. She was so hungry, but there was nothing to eat.She tried to call the prison warden to ask for food, but no one was interested in her. She was in a sorry state, but she didn’t regret her actions.She would take revenge on herself when she was released from prison. Whoever bu
On Friday morning, Sandra invited her friends for lunch at His Wings restaurant.When she saw Macy she became angry and said, “Macy, Serene told me that you refused to help her when she needed you the most and she nearly lost her baby, is it true?”Macy shot a glance at her and sneered, “Sandra, I’m tired of being Serene’s friend, she doesn’t take our friendship seriously. My parents nearly lost their company because of me.Since we were released from police custody, she never checked on me even once. Do you blame me for not wanting to be friends with her? I have caused my parents so much pain, I don’t want to be her friend anymore.”Sandra nodded her head and said, “I hear you Macy, I think I would have done the same too.” The waitress gave them the menu, then she left.Sandra looked at her friends and said, “Guys, I invited you here to discuss Serene’s baby shower. She is thirty-five weeks pregnant, why don’t we hold her baby shower this coming Saturday?”Macy replied, “I think it w
Edwin Green looked at Mark and said, “Do you want to say anything before we take a few questions from the audience and a few calls?”Mark thanked Edwin Green and said, “I would like to thank my Dad and my father-in-law for their support and for loving us and my siblings for being there for us. 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. I love you so much Dad, Theodore, Jonathan, and Tamara.”Mr Anthony was sitting in front of the television. He was touched when he heard Victoria’s words. “To my father, I d
Mrs Adams and her daughter-in-law Debby arrived at the Anthony Group around 12:30, then they called Deon to fetch them to the reception area.They waited in Deon’s office until 12:55 pm. Then they moved to the small boardroom to wait for Mark.Shortly after, he arrived with a measuring tape and a notebook. He greeted the Adams family with a smile. Deon’s mother was stunned when he saw Mark’s handsomeness.She smiled and said, “You are so handsome, young Mr Anthony. Thank you so much for accommodating me, much appreciated.” Mark smiled and replied, “thank you Auntie, please call me Mark.”Then he started taking measurements and made notes in his notebook, “Auntie, what kind of style do you like and the color of your gown?”Mrs Adams giggled and replied, “Mark, please surprise me. I want to be the center of attention at my birthday banquet.” They all laughed out loud, then they bade Mark goodbye.Deon went with his mother and his wife to the parking lot. Mrs Adams was overjoyed, her fri
In the blink of an eye Deon Adam’s leave was finished, it was time to go back to work. He rested enough at home with his lovely wife and his cute boys. They had a quality time.He woke up early in the morning to prepare for work. He walked to his bathroom to wash up. Debby walked to her husband’s closet and chose a blue suit with a white shirt and striped tie.She had her husband all to herself for the whole month, she was so happy. She was glowing. She hoped she was pregnant. She wanted a baby girl.Deon walked out of the bathroom wrapping a towel around his waist. Debby stared at her husband and her mind went blank.Deon chuckled, then he walked to his wife and kissed her gentle. Debby smiled sweetly at him, then she helped him to wear his clothes.He held his wife’s arm, then they headed to the dining room to eat. His wife made a sumptuous breakfast for him. He looked at his wife with love and thanked her. After breakfast, Deon kissed his wife, then he left for work.He arrived at
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
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.
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 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
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
