Hi my dearest readers, please add the novel to your library. Blessings
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday. Xavier took his wife to His Grace Hotel for lunch. He looked at his wife with eyes full of love and asked, "My stunning wife, don't you want to go to the Martins mansion tomorrow morning?"Avery smiled sweetly at her husband and replied, "Honey, it's just one night. Tomorrow I will be nestled in your arms. I have to go back home to ensure that everything is in order."Xavier looked at her with sadness in his eyes and asked, "I am so scared. What if she hurts you?" Avery kissed him on the lips and replied, "She wouldn't dare. Aunt Bridge would never let her go. Also, I know how to protect myself.Should something happen to me, I will call you to rescue me." Xavier's face became gloomy, and he asked, "Why don't you take Portia with you, my love?"Avery hugged her husband tightly for a long time and replied, "My handsome husband, Aunt Elizabeth, will never harm me because Daddy will never let her off the hook."After lunch, Xavier reluctantly drove h
In the living room, Keith was reluctant to leave his wife behind because, since they registered their marriage, they had never been separated. When Keith went to the Military headquarters to apply for a transfer, Bridgette accompanied him.He looked at August and said, "In-law, I have something to attend to, and I will see you tomorrow." Then he bid goodbye to everyone. His wife, Bridgette, walked with him to the car.A few minutes later, Avery excused herself, then she took her husband's hand, and they walked to the lift. Avery pressed the second-floor button. She took her husband to her bedroom.Xavier was impressed when he saw Avery's bedroom. It was lavishly decorated and smelled fresh. He sat on the sofa with his wife on his lap.Xavier smiled at his wife and said, "Your home is stunning, and your bedroom is cozy." Avery flashed him a beautiful smile and thanked him.Xavier kissed her on the lips for a long time, and then he said, "It's going to be a long night without you by my s
Ethan was so angry that he laughed, "Are you serious, Lily? Which eye did you see my sister hurting your Aunt? Some people are really dumb. They don't even know how to distinguish right from wrong."Logan looked at her coldly and said, "Please listen to me carefully, Miss Parker. My brother-in-law is not Jordan Bennet. Do you think he will fall in love with you?Please get it through your thick skull that you are inferior to my sister in every aspect. You are not my sister's competition, Miss Parker.If you don't believe me, please go ahead and embarrass yourself in front of the Taylor family. Let's see if Grandpa Taylor will allow you to set foot in the Taylor family."Avery had lost her appetite. She excused herself and went to the garden to calm herself down. She took her phone and sent a text message to her husband regarding Aunt Elizabeth's threat.At that moment, Avery's phone started ringing. When she saw the caller ID she smiled and said, "Hello, my handsome husband, I thought
Mr Taylor senior handed a cheque for twenty billion rand, health supplements, and a custom-made suit to Mr Martins. He smiled and said, "The custom-made suit was designed by your son-in-law, and all these gifts are coming from him."Mr Martins smiled at his son-in-law and thanked him. Then he took the cheque with both hands and thanked the Taylor family for their generous gifts.The Taylor family showered Pastor Basil, Aiden, Siyabonga, the Shelton family, the King family, and the Hayes family with luxurious gifts. They also thanked Bridgette for raising Avery well, and they gave her luxurious gifts.Mrs Taylor handed Mrs Martins' luxurious gifts to Aunt Rose. Aunt Rose thanked Mrs Taylor on behalf of Mrs Martins.Mrs Shelton praised Mrs Taylor for showering them with elegant and luxurious gifts. Their luxurious designer coats and handbags were designed by the legendary Belgian fashion designer, Dries Van Noten.At that moment, Mrs Martins walked into the dining room with Lily in tow.
A few minutes later, Chef Ambrose walked into the dining room with the waiters carrying Stainless Steel Chafing dishes. Avery and Gabriella followed behind them.Chef Ambrose opened the chafing dishes' lids, and the aroma filled the dining room. The guests started salivating. The food was mouth-watering.Chef Ambrose and Avery started plating. She put a plate of food on a tray, then she asked the waiters to follow her. She served Grandpa Taylor first, then the waiters served other guests, except for Xavier.Unbeknownst to her, while she was serving her grandfather-in-law, Lily took the plate of food on the table and served Xavier. He looked coldly at her and ignored the food.Avery plated her husband's plate differently, then she walked towards him, smiling from ear to ear. To her surprise, there was a plate of food in front of him.She put the plate aside and gave him the plate of food she had prepared. Xavier smiled and thanked her.Then she sat down beside him and said, "I told the
Aunt Elizabeth took the divorce papers from her precious niece and looked at the last page. Her heart sank when she saw that her husband had already signed the divorce papers.Then she turned to the divorce settlement page. She was shocked when she saw the benefits.Her husband had given her the mansion with conditions, but she didn't read the fine print. He also gave her 20% of the company shares and 50 billion rand as alimony.She was surprised when she saw the size of the alimony because she had never contributed anything to the Martins Group. Her husband was very generous.Mrs Martins took the pen, but she was reluctant to sign the divorce papers. Lily looked at her aunt with questioning eyes.Then her aunt mustered the courage and signed her name with a heavy heart. She didn't want to divorce her husband because he was a good man. Her heart was bleeding.Mr Martins took the signed divorce papers from his wife, then he waited for his lawyer, Eric Duma, to arrive.A few minutes late
A few minutes later, Xavier and his wife headed to the living room. They approached the elders, and Xavier said, "Grandpa, my father-in-law has asked us to go back home. He indicated that he had an announcement to make."Caia became so worried that she placed her hand on her chest and asked, "Avery, is everything alright with your father?"Avery smiled at Aunt Caia and replied, "Yes, Aunt Caia. If I am not mistaken, Aunt Elizabeth is demanding a divorce because Daddy refused to hand Xavier over to Lily. I think she has given Daddy an ultimatum.However, I am not surprised because Aunt Elizabeth will do anything in her power to make my cousin, Lily, happy."Aunt Caia heaved a huge sigh of relief when she heard that Mr Martins was alright. Xavier looked at his aunt's worried face and smiled faintly.It was clear to him that Aunt Caia had feelings towards his father-in-law. They bid farewell, and then they left.As soon as Xavier and his wife left, Caroline smiled at her sister and said,
Mr Martins decided to forward the divorce agreement to his children. He looked at his children and said, "I just forwarded the divorce agreement to you for your perusal. Please let me know if you want me to change or add anything."Aiden whistled when he saw the alimony and said, "Daddy, I want to thank you on behalf of my mother. She is set for life. I just hope that she will not give Lily this money."Avery nodded her head as she concurred with Aiden. She looked at her father with worried eyes and asked, "Are you alright, Daddy? When are you moving out?"Her father smiled at his daughter and replied, "I am alright, Sweetheart. I am moving out today, and I will stay at His Glory Hotel for now. I do have a mansion not far from the Taylor family mansion, but it is not furnished or decorated yet.Sweetheart, please pack all your stuff in your bedroom. You can move them to my mansion or your apartment. I was told that Lily wanted to move into your bedroom with immediate effect."Avery smi
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
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 beaut
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
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
