Hi my dearest readers, do you think Lily will regret refusing to speak to her parents for the last time? Let's meet in the comment section. Blessings.
After the Martins family had spoken to Mia, they realized that they would never see the lovely Parker couple again. Avery couldn't believe that she wouldn't see her beloved uncle ever again. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Uncle Edwin had showered her with love since she was born. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and it was unbearable. She felt suffocated, she couldn't breathe. Aunt Bridgette held her in her arms, trying to comfort her.When her father saw that his daughter was not in a good state of mind, he wiped his tears and replied, "Lily has blocked everyone she hates. Even yesterday, my brother-in-law called me indicating that they have tried to call her several times, but I think she had blocked them."Brad took the phone from his wife and said, "My condolences to the Martins family. My wife and I will be in South Africa the day after tomorrow to spend time with Lily. I hope she will allow us to be her guardians since her aunt is her only relative. How is Mrs Ma
After Air SA representatives left, Mr Martins called his Executive Secretary, Siyabonga Cele. When it was connected, he said, "Siya, my brother-in-law, Edwin Parker, and his wife are no more. Please send a communiqué about Mr Parker's passing.Mr Parker and his wife, Cathy, were on their way back home when their flight collided in mid-air with another flight. Further details will be announced in due course."Siyabonga was shocked to hear that. CEO Martins had asked him a couple of days ago to upgrade the Parker couple's seats to first class. He didn't know how to comfort his boss since CEO Martins loved his brother-in-law as his brother.Siyabonga said with sadness in his voice, "My deepest condolences go out to the Martins family. May the Lord give you strength and guide you when you are preparing for your loved one's funeral." CEO Martins thanked him, and then they hung up.Afterwards, Mr Martins called the Ebenezer hotel manager, Mr Oliver Turner, to tell him about Mr Parker and hi
Aunt Rose couldn't take it anymore; she slapped her and said, "Shut your foul mouth. Stop acting like a spoilt brat, your parents raise you well to respect your elders.What happened to sweet Lily? Do you think we are here to play games? Why don't you use your brains?"Lily looked at Aunt Rose with tears brimming in her eyes and asked, "If something bad has happened to my parents, why is Aunt Elizabeth not here with you to comfort me?"Aunt Rose calmed herself down and replied, "Your Aunt is not taking the news of her brother and her sister-in-law well. Also, your father chose your uncle as his next of kin. So, your aunt was upset about that."Tears streamed down Lily's face. Did the Lord take her parents because of her words? Her chest became stuffy; she placed her hand on her chest. Aunt Rose became scared and asked, "What is wrong, Lily?"Lily clutched her chest and replied, "I can't breathe." Then she fainted. Uncle August took her in his arms and ran out of the house, followed by
On Wednesday morning, during breakfast, Mr Martins received a call from Mr Roy Saunders notifying him that his loved ones had been safely transported to the morgue. Mr Martins thanked him, and then they hung up.Mr Martins' expression was somber, and he said, "Aunt Rose, it was Mr Saunders on the phone. I will leave you here to take care of Lily." Then he took Butler Bruce and Clayton with him.Two hours later, they were at the Martins mansion. Elizabeth was in the living room watching the news. Her husband approached her and said, "Elizabeth, please accompany me to the morgue to identify my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law."Elizabeth wanted to refuse but she changed her mind. She went to her bedroom to change her clothes. August went to Aiden's room, but he wasn't there. He walked to his daughter's room.Avery had a letter in her hand from KZN University. She smiled brightly when she saw her father and asked, "Daddy, how is Lily?" Her father sighed and replied, "Lily is like a zom
At the Martins residence, Mrs Elizabeth Martins was in the living room sobbing. She didn't believe that her beloved brother left her without saying goodbye. She was overwhelmed with grief.At that moment, Butler Bruce opened the door for Avery, who was coming back from school. Aunt Bridgette had an appointment with the client at His Faithfulness Gallery. So, she dropped her outside the gate and left.When Avery saw her mother crying, she panicked and she rushed to her. She tried to hug her, but her mother pushed her hard.She was caught off guard; she lost her balance and fell. She bumped her head into the corner of the coffee table. The pain was so intense, she started crying.When her mother saw that she was bleeding she sneered and said, "You deserve it. I wish you were dead instead of my brother. While are you still alive?" Avery's heart sank. She had never experienced her mother's love. She was yearning for it.When Butler Bruce saw that Avery was injured, he took her to the hospi
Elizabeth was shocked to see her husband in front of her because she thought he had already left for work. What is he doing here? She looked at her husband with sorrow in her eyes and replied, "I need someone to help me at my brother's house."August's expression darkened and he asked, "Since when did my daughter become your maid?" Elizabeth was taken aback by that question and replied, "I am her mother. She needs to help me."August laughed out loud and said, "You are forgetful, Elizabeth. Didn't you tell me that you would never acknowledge her as your daughter? Get out. You don't deserve to be her mother."Then he called Bridgette and said, "Don't allow this woman in my daughter's room again." Bridgette nodded her head and went back to her bedroom.Elizabeth was so humiliated she felt like crying. She had been waiting for her husband to comfort her since she lost her brother, but all the comfort went to his daughter.Elizabeth was fuming with anger; she wanted to take her daughter w
On Friday morning, Clayton parked an elegant customized black Bentley SUV and a Silver Audi Q7 in the driveway. A few minutes later, Pastor Basil arrived at the Martins residence.Avery was overjoyed when she saw Grandpa Basil and asked, "Grandpa, have you eaten breakfast?" Grandpa smiled and replied, "My beautiful granddaughter, I thought I was late, and I skipped breakfast."Avery walked to the kitchen to prepare English breakfast for her grandfather. A few minutes later, Avery ushered Grandpa Basil into the dining room. She stayed in the dining room to keep Grandpa Basil company.When Grandpa Basil finished eating, Avery cleaned the dining table and took dishes to the kitchen. A few minutes later, Pastor Basil led them in prayer, and he asked the Lord for protection.Mr Martins walked to the Bentley with his children, Pastor Basil and Gabriella Stone. Hope and Bridgette walked to the Audi. Even though Elizabeth didn't like them, they decided to attend the funeral to bid farewell to
At Xavier mansion, Xavier was in the living room with his wife in his arms. He was touching her baby bump. Valencia was twenty weeks pregnant. He looked at his wife lovingly and asked, "How are you feeling, my love?"Valencia smiled sweetly at him and replied, "I am much better, my mother gave me some medication and it is working. Xavier looked at her with questioning eyes.He was told that his wife was not supposed to take medication since she was pregnant. Valencia smiled and replied, "Stop frowning, my mother's doctor told her that the medication would not affect the baby.You know how special this baby is to my mother, she will never hurt him." Xavier nodded his head and said, "I am having a get-together with my friends tonight. Do you want me to ask your sister to come and stay with you?Valencia became upset and replied, "Xavier, I don't understand why you are still having single friends whilst you are already married. What are you talking about when you are with them? Please gr
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
