Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
At the Martins residence, Lily didn't sleep a wink after her beloved aunt refused to stay at the luxurious His Grace Hotel. She felt betrayed and used.Her aunt was aware that she had fallen in love with the handsome Xavier Taylor, but she failed to create chances for her to meet him in private.It was clear to her that her aunt had been using her all this time. She lost her parents because of her aunt.She was aware that the Ebenezer Hotel belonged to the Martins family, but she encouraged her to demand that her parents buy her a Private Jet.Also, her aunt forced her to embarrass Avery at her parents' funeral service. As a result, the Prince family and the Shelton family turned their backs on her. She regretted not choosing the Shelton family as her guardians.When Uncle August gave her the Penthouse, her aunt asked her to return it to Uncle August. It was clear that her aunt was trying to protect the Martins family's assets.It dawned on her that her aunt was pretending to hate Aver
After the meeting, the Shelton family and the Ford family bade goodbye to everyone. Then Wayne took them to the airport. The Evans family left shortly afterwards.Caroline was so worried about her sister that she rushed home to take care of her. When she arrived home, Caia was locking herself in the guest room. Caroline knocked on the door, and then Caia opened the door.She smiled at her sister and said, "Big sis, I decided to be on three days of fasting. I need clarity from the Lord." Caroline hugged her baby sister and replied, "I am so proud of you, Caia. I have faith that the Lord will come through for you."At His Grace Hotel, Mr Martins bade goodbye to the Taylor family, and then he left. However, he didn't go back home because he didn't want to see his wife. He decided to go to His Glory Hotel for a couple of days.When Mr Martins was resting in his Presidential Suite, he received a call from his son, Aiden. He smiled and said, "Hello, Aiden. Is everything alright? Yesterday, I
In the blink of an eye, it was Jordan and Tiffany's wedding. Mrs Bennet was over the moon to see her beloved son getting married to the Spencer heiress.However, Mrs Spencer was heartbroken to see her precious daughter throwing herself into the arms of a pauper.To protect their reputation, the Spencer family had bought Tiffany and Jordan a four-bedroom house in a high-end suburb. Mrs Bennet told herself that she would move in with her beloved son.Mrs Bennet had invited her neighbours from the township to witness her beloved son marrying a Spencer family heiress. She used Jordan's money he received from His Grace Hotel, as a refund to hire taxis for his neighbours.Since Jordan was banned from having a wedding at His Grace Hotel, Tiffany's father heard that the Durban Civic Centre was available on the 30th of March, so he booked it.The wedding ceremony was going to be held at 12 pm. The venue was lavishly decorated. Initially, Mrs Martins had given Tiffany five million rand to cover
Mrs Spencer was taken aback when she heard Xavier's words. She looked at him and replied, "I can't make decisions about company affairs. Then I don't agree with your proposal."Xavier looked at her coldly and said, "Mrs Spencer, I am not asking you, but I am telling you. Just pray that my wife was spouting nonsense because if she was speaking the truth, please be mentally prepared."Then Xavier turned to Mrs Bennet and said, "I have seen shameless people, but I have never encountered anyone as shameless as you.My wife has fed and clothed you for the past four years, but she has never received any gratitude from you.I believe that even the dress that you are wearing now was bought by my wife, but you don't feel any shame. All this time, I was wondering who your son took after for being ungrateful. It is clear to me that he took after you."Mrs Bennet felt humiliated and embarrassed. Her neighbours were shocked when they heard Xavier's words because Mrs Bennet told them that the stunni
A few minutes later, Jordan told his parents that he was going out to get fresh air. He had been telling himself that it was impossible for Avery to move on since she loved him so much. He felt like crying, but he managed to hold his tears back.When he heard Avery telling everyone that she stopped loving him at the Bennet Group Celebration Party, he felt suffocated. He always thought that Avery would wait for him, or she would agree to be his mistress.Unfortunately, it was his wishful thinking. Deep in his heart, he regretted treating Avery the way he did, but he was arrogant to ask for forgiveness. He had thought no one would take his place in Avery's heart.Mr Bennet followed behind his son. He was scared that his only son might commit suicide. His beloved fiancée betrayed him at the altar in front of their friends and neighbours.While they were in the waiting room, Mr Bennet logged into social media. He found that his son's wedding had been uploaded on the internet. As a result,
Tiffany looked at Mrs Bennet in a different light. She was lying through her teeth. She wiped her tears and said, "Aunt Tess, stop lying. I was already awake when I left the emergency room.When you stopped my mother from taking care of me, I realized that you were up to no good. Then I decided to switch on the video camera on my phone.Then I closed my eyes on purpose to catch you in the act. You are evil-hearted, Aunt Tess." Then she cried sorrowfully in her mother's arms. She took her phone and immediately called the police.Mrs Spencer nearly fainted with anger. Mrs Bennet was an ingrate. She rushed to her and slapped her hard across her face. Mrs Bennet was caught off guard. She didn't dodge on time. Her face became numb.Mrs Bennet looked at Mrs Spencer viciously and said, "Who do you think you are? Because of the little money that you have, do you think you could hit me? I tolerated you when I was staying at your house. Enough is enough."Then she slapped Mrs Spencer twice on he
Mrs Spencer was dumbfounded when she heard her daughter's words. She looked at her daughter and asked, "What did you say, Tiffany? Didn't you tell us that you fell in love with Jordan at first sight? Were you lying to us?"Tiffany looked at her mother with tears streaming down her face and replied, "I am sorry, Mom. I lied to you and Dad. I met Jordan for the first time when we were attending the Bennet Group Celebration Party.Aunt Elizabeth promised to give me a project should I succeed in breaking Jordan and Avery up. However, she ended up giving me five million rands as compensation to cover the engagement banquet and the wedding expenses."Mrs Spencer nearly fainted with anger. She was reminded of Xavier's words when he said, 'There would come a time when she wished her family had never befriended Mrs Martins, but it will be too late'.It was clear that Elizabeth took their friendship for granted. She felt chest pains, then she fainted. Fortunately, the nurses were standing beside
A few hours later, her parents were wheeled into her ward. Tiffany was shocked when she saw her father in the hospital bed. She tried to go to her father's bed, but her lower abdomen was too painful. She couldn't move her body.Mr Spencer sat on the bed and looked at his daughter with sadness in his eyes. He couldn't believe his ears that his precious daughter had lied to them with a straight face.After the surgery, Mrs Spencer was sent to her husband's ward. He was shocked when he saw his beloved wife's injury. She had a cast on her hand and her two ribs were broken.Mrs Spencer told her husband about their daughter's lies, but she didn't tell him that it was Mrs Martins who deceived their daughter. Then Mr Spencer asked the nurses to move them to their daughter's ward.Tiffany looked at her father with eyes full of concern and asked, "Daddy, what happened to you?" Her father ignored her question and asked, "Tiffany, is it true that you met Jordan at the Bennet Group Celebration Part
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, durin
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, "W
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 co
Three months later…At 16:45, Xavier and Avery were on their way home when Avery's phone started ringing. She furrowed her brows when she saw the caller ID.She put the phone on speaker and said, "Hello, Uncle Lambert. Are you looking for me?"Uncle Lambert replied, "I am sorry to disturb you, Avery. There was a fatal accident involving a truck and two taxis.I was told that the Paramedics were sending the injured people to our hospital. We need your help."Avery indicated that she would be there in ten minutes. Wayne made a U-turn, then he drove back to the hospital.Avery looked at her husband and said, "Honey, why don't you go to the apartment to rest? I think it is going to be a long night."Xavier took her in his arms and kissed her, then Wayne drove his boss to the apartment. He then asked one of the bodyguards to fetch him. He accompanied his boss until his colleague fetched him.Uncle Lambert provided the doctors with food while they were waiting for the patients. Forty people

Elizabeth and Jamie were celebrating their first anniversary. Elizabeth was in Jamie's arms, talking about their future and dreams, sipping an expensive wine slowly. Elizabeth had never been happy like that in her life.Her ex-husband, August, tried to make her happy, but because she didn't have any feelings for him, she always felt suffocated by his love. The love that she shared with Jamie was special, and nothing could separate them.For the past few days, Elizabeth had been under the weather. After her lover went to 'work', she asked Lily to drop her at the hospital. Lily looked at her aunt with concern in her eyes and asked, "What is wrong, Auntie?"Lily was really worried. Without her aunt, she wouldn't have a future. Aunt Elizabeth smiled faintly and replied, "Don't worry, your beautiful face, my niece. I just have the flu."Lily breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it wasn't something serious, and then she took her aunt to Taylor Private Hospital. Aunt Elizabeth told
On Friday afternoon, Xavier and Avery were at their beach mansion. As the sun set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Avery sat on the balcony with her husband, feeding her a dessert.Xavier looked at his wife with eyes full of love and said, "I am so proud of you, my stunning wife, for what you have achieved. Your company will bring hope to people's lives and put food on their tables."Avery flashed her husband a beautiful smile and replied, "Thank you, my handsome husband, for your unconditional support. You are my rock, my dearest husband. Also, thank you for encouraging me to fulfill my dreams."Avery had hired graduates who were sitting at home with their degrees. After COVID-19, life was difficult. She also took Eric Duma's advice and hired Sean Swan as the company Director and Henry Gibbs as his Executive Secretary.On Avery's company opening day, the media were buzzing around trying to capture influential people.
