Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
Mrs Martins looked at her son with tears in her eyes and replied, "I am sorry for deceiving you, my favourite son. Avery is your sister, and your father didn't threaten to divorce me.When we were at Principal Glen's office, Avery told him that her mother passed away when she was giving birth to her.She cursed me to die. I felt humiliated and embarrassed. Shouldn't I get back to her?Please believe me if I say I didn't know that Bridgette and your father had a father-daughter relationship. Please forgive me."Aiden felt like crying. His mother lied to him several times, but he forgave her. He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you crossed the line this time and I will never forgive you for lying to me.If I could be given a chance to choose my mother, I would never choose you. You are vicious and evil. You wanted to kill my only sister because of the promises you made to your precious niece.I wish my father could divorce you and marry Bridgette. You are not worthy of being his wife
The Taylor family and the Moore family were at the Taylor Private Hospital having Valencia's baby shower. She was thirty-nine weeks pregnant, and her health had deteriorated so much due to her stomach cancer.Dr Smith suggested her staying in the hospital until she gave birth. The hospital living room was lavishly decorated with pink and white balloons and fresh flowers.The Taylor family wanted to invite their friends to the baby shower, but the Moore family was against it. They indicated that they didn't want people to pity them.Grandpa Taylor was fuming with rage when he heard the Moore family's reasoning. He wanted to invite his brothers and their families because they missed his precious grandson's wedding. They had not seen their granddaughter-in-law yet.Grandpa Taylor felt that Xavier and Valencia had a secret marriage. From the beginning, the Moore family had the final say in his precious grandson's marriage.In the end, it was only the two families. However, John told his be
On Sunday afternoon, Clayton went to the airport to fetch Mr Martins. He greeted him politely and took his suitcase. Mr Martins bade farewell to his senior management, then he followed Clayton.On their way home, Clayton gave Mr Martins a tablet and asked him to watch the surveillance footage. Mr Martins was dumbfounded he wasn't aware that there were surveillance cameras in her house.He was fuming with anger when he saw his eldest son tripping his daughter with his foot. A few seconds later, he laughed out loud and said, "You've trained my daughter well.It is clear to me that my wife wanted to kill my daughter and replace her with Lily. I am so disappointed in Aiden for believing his mother's lies. He chose Lily over his biological sister."When he thought about his daughter nearly being killed by his family, he became suffocated. They drove home in silence.When they arrived home, Mr Martins went straight to his daughter's room. He knocked on the door. Avery said, "Come in." Her e
August looked at her coldly and replied, "I will never forgive you for touching my bottom line. You are evil and heartless. You tried to kill your flesh and blood to accommodate your niece.Why don't you go to prison and stay together for a couple of years? Where do you get confidence from to bully my daughter?"Elizabeth was so scared she ran out of her husband's study room crying and went to her son's bedroom. She rushed into his room without even knocking. She paced up and down without uttering a word.Aiden was sitting on the sofa in deep thought. He raised his eyes and looked at his mother with questioning eyes. His mother wiped her tears and said, "Your father has pressed charges against us. We are going to jail for attempted murder."Aiden was dumbfounded. How was he going to survive in jail? How about his studies? He put his hands on his head. He felt like screaming. His mother had destroyed his life.At that moment, his phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID and sai
In the blink of an eye, Mrs Martins and the others had been in police custody for a week. On Monday at 12 pm, Chief Smith asked the police officer to release Aiden and Lily. They were surprised to be released before appearing before court.When they walked outside the police custody, they saw the family driver waiting for them. They rushed to the car; they were so embarrassed because they were still wearing the same clothes, they were wearing the day they were arrested.On their way home, Lily was fuming about being detained for the whole week without evidence.She looked at Aiden and said, "Aiden, we have to sue the state for arresting us unlawfully without evidence. Why is my aunt not with us? Was she released earlier than us?Aiden looked at her expressionless and replied, "Lily, one day you will regret not choosing Aunt Mia as your guardian. Who told you that there is no evidence? It was not my father's intention to have us arrested.He wanted to teach us a lesson and to learn from
Chase Forbes was standing outside Valencia's ward waiting for his best friend, Xavier, to come out. He had sent a text message to Xavier asking him to meet him outside the ward.He decided against entering Valencia's ward because he didn't want to upset his best friend's wife. She looked down on her husband's friends and she was cold towards them.A few minutes later, Xavier walked out of the ward. He was wearing a custom-made gray suit. The two buttons of his shirt were unfastened exposing his beautiful collarbone. He was elegant and extremely handsome.He smiled brightly at his best friend, and they hugged each other and said, "I was having a Zoom meeting with my managers. What's up?"Chase looked at him with a smile and asked, "How is Valencia doing?" Xavier stopped smiling and replied, "I believe she will be better after she gives birth to our daughter because she will be able to take medication.Dr Smith indicated that there is a 40% chance of survival should she go for surgery. I
In the blink of an eye, it was the Rugby World Cup Final. Xavier's mother arrived at Valencia's ward before 6 pm to keep her company. She brought soft pap and salads. Xavier thanked his mother, then he kissed his wife and left his wife's ward.Mrs Taylor looked at Valencia with eyes full of sadness and asked, "How are you feeling, my daughter-in-law?" Valencia smiled and replied, "I don't feel any pain, Mom. My mother gave me medication and it is working wonders."Her mother-in-law looked at her with questioning eyes and asked, "Are you supposed to take any medication while you are pregnant?"Valencia shook her head and replied, "My mother's doctor told her that the medication will not affect the baby."Her mother-in-law was not convinced and said, "Let me see your medication. How long have you been taking this medication? Did you ask Dr Smith if there are no side effects?"Valencia gave her mother-in-law the medication and replied, "I started taking it when I was twenty weeks pregnant
At the Stone's residence, they were eating lunch. Mr Jimmy Stone and his family were coming back from church. His church Pastor asked the congregation to pray for everyone who is doing Grade 12.Gabriella looked at her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, Avery invited me to the Martins mansion during the exams. She will help me with my studies should I encounter any challenges."Since Gabriella's father, Jimmy Stone, was working for the Martins Group, it didn't seem appropriate for his daughter to stay at the Martins mansion.Her father looked at his wife for help, then his wife smiled at their daughter and said, "Honey, why don't you send Miss Martins the text message or call her when you don't understand that particular subject?I am sure she will be able to help you over the phone. Do you need to stay in her house?"Gabriella told her parents that if they didn't allow her to stay at the Martins mansion, she would invite Avery to stay at her house.How could they allow Miss Martins to stay
Aiden wished that he had listened to his late uncle when he warned him about his mother. He moved to his mother's mansion, but he didn't have money to buy food or to pay municipality rates.His mother was sitting with billions of rand in prison. The hatred towards his mother was deep. He was in that situation because of her.He had sent resumes to several companies, but they all turned him down. They cited that he was overqualified or too experienced.It was clear that they didn't hire him because they didn't want to offend the Martins Group and the Taylor Group.His life was so miserable that he wished that he were in prison. At least the prisoners had food.One day, Tiffany visited her mother-in-law, Mrs Bennet, in prison. She looked at her and said, "I would like to apologize for everything bad I have done to your family. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.I heard that Mrs Martins and Lily are in the same prison as you. They deceived me and caused you and your son to lose y
A week later, at the Taylor family mansion, Avery was in the nursery room with baby Axl nestled in her arms. She was looking at her son's cuteness with admiration.She was thanking the Lord for blessing her with her baby. She thanked Him for protecting them from the evil-hearted Elizabeth and her brother, Aiden.She was grateful to the Lord for the Taylor family, for the love they had deposited in her life. They were such an amazing, loving family. Finally, she thanked the Lord for blessing her with her father. He was such a good man.Avery didn't like to take her phone into the nursery room. She always left it with her husband or in their bedroom. Today was no exception. She spent time with her baby, praying over his life and blessing him.Her husband was in the study room with his Executive Secretary, Cole Knight. He was buried in a pile of documents.When Xavier was busy discussing company matters with his Executive Secretary, his wife's phone started ringing. He furrowed his beauti
The following day, Elizabeth hired a lawyer, Mr Saul Sharp. He was a middle-aged man and a good lawyer. He took this case to settle the scores against Mr Eric Duma.Unbeknownst to him, he was against the ruthless Taylor family. Later, when the prosecutor told him he would face the Taylor family legal team, his heart nearly stopped. It was career suicide. He was no match for Taylor's elite legal team.Mr Sharp went to the hospital to confront Miss Parker. He looked at his client, fuming with anger, and asked, "Why did you lie to me?" Elizabeth was taken aback and asked, "When did I ever lie to you, Mr Sharp?"A surge of anger rose in Mr Sharp's heart, and he asked, "Why didn't you tell me that it was the ruthless Taylor family who had pressed the charges?" Elizabeth was dumbfounded.She looked at her lawyer and explained, "I am truly sorry, Mr Sharp. It was not my intention to mislead you. I assumed that it was my ex-husband who pressed charges against me.Yesterday, after we discussed
Mr Martins immediately dialed his lawyer, Eric Duma's number. When it was connected he said, "Eric, please press charges against Aiden Martins.He falsely accused my daughter of murdering his mother's baby and of threatening my grandson's life."Eric was dumbfounded and replied, "I am currently at the police station. I will immediately press charges against Mr Martins.Please send me the address where the police could find him to arrest him, Sir." Then they hung up. Mr Martins sent Aiden's mansion address.Aiden was so scared he nearly peed on himself and said, "I am not lying, Dad. I have proof." When Aiden was talking to his mother he secretly recorded their conversation. He then sent the voice recording to his father.After his father had listened to the voice recording, he took his phone and dialed Dr Fowler's number. When it was connected he said, "Hello Dr Fowler, I need your help.My ex-wife is accusing my daughter of killing her child. Do you know when Elizabeth was pregnant?"
Elizabeth was plotting against Avery and her newborn baby. Since she couldn't do it herself, she would use Aiden to kill his sister's son.Unbeknownst to her, no one was allowed to enter Taylor's private wards without permission. Xavier's bodyguards were standing outside the lifts and the private ward, guarding young Mrs Taylor and Baby Axl.While Elizabeth was in deep thought, Aiden entered his mother's private ward smiling. He looked at his mother and said, "I am glad that your surgery was successful, Mom."Her mother's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you, Son, for saving my life. Where is Lily?" Aiden replied, "Lily is in police custody. Please don't be lenient to her, Mom. She deserves to pay for everything bad she has done to my family."His mother nodded her head and replied, "True. I will never let her go. I will make sure that she spends her whole life in prison."Aiden was satisfied with his mother's response and said, "Mom, you won't believe what Dad said to me. He asked me to t
Sage's eyes lit up when she saw her father. Xavier picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. He looked at her and asked, "How was school, baby?" Sage told her father that school was great.She smiled brightly and said, "Today, our class delivered a speech at the assembly in front of everyone. It was about 'Love'. I have learned that love is patient and unconditional.I felt it was a lie because my maternal grandmother and Aunt Valeria were never patient with me. They were so horrible. I nearly died in that mansion. Sometimes I still have nightmares at night."Her father felt heartache when he heard Sage's words. He ruffled his daughter's hair and replied, "I am glad they would never hurt you again, my dearest daughter.Sometimes I blame myself for allowing hatred and anger against the Moore family to cloud my judgment. I am still angry with your maternal grandfather for failing to do anything when they were starving you."Sage said in her maternal grandfather's defense, "Daddy, during
Xavier and Avery headed to the living room to talk to their elders. Their Grandpa was watching the news with their mother. Her mother-in-law's eyes lit up when she saw them.She smiled and asked, "Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Avery held her mother-in-law's arm and replied, "I am full, Mom. Thank you." Then she turned to her husband and asked, "Do you need anything, Honey?"Xavier shook his head, then they sat on the sofa. He looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I received a call from my father-in-law indicating that Aunt Elizabeth hurt her spinal cord when she fell from the first floor.He wanted to know if my wife would be able to help her without performing surgery. Avery indicated that she would be able to guide other doctors to perform the surgery while sitting in the gallery. What do you think, Grandpa?"Grandpa Taylor was still holding a grudge against Elizabeth for abandoning his precious granddaughter in love. He looked at his precious grandson and asked, "Wh
August hugged his beloved wife and replied, "I don't understand why Aiden is calling me instead of his mother. Didn't he disown me?" Then he took the phone from his wife's hand and switched it off. He hugged his lovely wife and fell asleep.Aiden tried several times to call his father, but it went straight to voicemail. He left the hospital and went home to sleep. He woke up at 7 am and took a quick shower. Then he went to the company to speak to his father.He entered his father's office without knocking and said, "Good morning, Dad. Lily pushed my mother, and she hurt her spinal cord badly. The attending doctor said….."His father was fuming with anger and roared, "Get out of my office." Aiden was taken aback and said, "But Dad..." His father interrupted him and replied, "I am not your father. Get out."Aiden had never seen his father so angry. He walked out of his father's office, but he didn't leave. He stood outside his father's office and waited for his father to calm down.Half
Seven months later……Aiden had not made peace with his parents and sister yet. At work, he was professional and distant.One morning when he woke up, he couldn't shake the feeling that something bad would happen.He took his phone and unblocked his mother's number. Then he went to work. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his father. Even though he was still angry with his father for failing to fight for their marriage, he still loved him.After work, he decided to go to the old Martins mansion to see his mother. He parked the car in the driveway. Then he knocked on the door.His mother was dumbfounded when she saw her estranged son standing at the door. His mother looked at him viciously and asked, "What are you doing here, Aiden?"Aiden smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and replied, "This is my home, Mom. Relax, I am not here to fight with your young lover." Then he walked past his mother and went to his bedroom to rest.Elizabeth was tossing and turning, she cou
