LOGINHi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
Daniela took her car keys and drove to the Stanton Private Hospital. When she reached Zara’s private ward, a police officer was standing outside the door.She approached the police officer, smiling and said, “Good afternoon, Sir. I am Miss Zara Pearson’s lawyer, Daniela Soap. May I see her?”The police officer nodded his head, then Daniela walked into Zara’s private ward. She didn’t look up when someone entered her private ward; she continued playing games on her phone.Zara thought it was the police officer. The irritation was evident in her voice, and she asked, “What do you want now?”Daniela approached Zara’s hospital bed step by step with her hands on her hips and asked, “Why did you lie to me, Miss Pearson?”Tears welled up in Zara’s eyes, and she replied, “I am so sorry, Miss Soap. It was not my intention to lie.I overheard the prison warden telling his colleague that my father was critically ill. Hence, I feigned fainting.Was it wrong of me to want to see my father, who is fi
Tears streamed down Gemma's face as she looked at her mother for approval. Her mother beamed and nodded.Gemma wiped her tears, and she replied, "Yes, I will marry you, Mr Finch." Jasper slipped the dazzling diamond engagement ring on her finger.Then he took her in his arms and kissed her. Her future mother-in-law hugged her and said, "Congratulations, my favourite daughter."Gemma’s mother cried tears of joy. She looked at them with eyes full of love and said, “Please hurry to Home Affairs to register your marriage.” Jasper held his fiancée’s hand, then they left the private ward laughing.At Payton’s mansion, Payton was pacing up and down, and he was starting to panic. He looked at his watch, and his heart sank. Did Jasper forget about him and go to the courthouse alone?He took his phone off the coffee table, then he dialed Jasper’s number, but it went to voicemail.Last night, he had asked Jasper to give him a ride to the courthouse because he didn’t have money to put fuel in his
Payton stayed in the Carson Group parking lot for a long time, waiting for Maddox’s car until 10 pm. He got out of the car, then he walked to the security guards and asked, “Good evening, do you know if President Carson is still in the office?”One of the security guards looked at him and replied, “I overheard the employees saying that President Carson is on vacation leave until next week, Sir.”Payton’s heart sank to the bottom. He thanked the security guard, then he walked dejectedly to his car.Even though it was so late, he didn’t have a choice but to drive to Maddox’s mansion for help. The suppliers were demanding payments. Also, he needed a cash injection to pay his employees’ salaries.When Payton arrived at the mansion’s gate, he smiled at the sight of the brightly lit mansion.He pressed the intercom button. However, no one opened the gate for him. It was clear that Maddox was taking Rain’s side. His heart was overwhelmed with bitterness.Payton wished he could press the rewin
After Daniela left Durban Correctional Services, she drove to His Glory Hotel. At the foyer, she bumped into Samantha and Detective Blade.Daniela smiled brightly and said, “Long time no see, Miss Mitchell. How is life treating you?”Samantha smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, and she replied, “Good afternoon, Miss Soap. Life is treating me very well, and my heart is full of gratitude to the Lord for all the good fortune and happiness in my life.I hope life is treating you well, too, Miss Soap.” Daniela looked at her with eyes full of hatred and said, “I heard that you will be prosecuting Miss Pearson’s case. If you think you will win, dream on.”Samantha looked at her as if she were a clown and said, “Blade, we will be late for our appointment. Let’s go.” Then they left without a backward glance. Daniela sneered inwardly, then she walked to the reception area.Samantha and Blade were meeting Gemma. They had received a call from Gemma, who indicated that she had something on
Gemma felt that her heart had been squeezed by an invisible hand. The pain was so intense that she couldn’t breathe.The genuine sincerity she had poured into their relationship felt utterly wasted now, turning their love into nothing but a cruel joke.She couldn't understand why Jasper hadn't just broken up with her if he didn't love her anymore.Gemma stood outside her mother's private ward, taking a moment to compose herself and steady her emotions before entering the room.Her mother’s eyes lit up when she saw her. She smiled brightly and said, “Sweetheart, you don’t have to visit me all the time. Go and have fun with your friends.”Gemma’s eyes welled up, and she replied, “Mom, the people I hold dear betrayed me. Zara told Jasper that I have a crush on Payton, and he believed her. I am so hurt, Mom.” Then she sobbed uncontrollably.Her mother got out of her hospital bed, then she hugged her tightly and said, “My beautiful daughter, please don’t allow anyone to come between you and
Gemma was stunned speechless by Zara’s cruel words. She struggled to accept the painful truth that the one person she had trusted unconditionally had betrayed her.At that moment, the prison warden announced over the loudspeaker and said, “The visiting hours are over.” Then the families began to bid farewell to their loved ones.Gemma left the prison visitors' area in a daze. She didn’t even know how she got into her car. She blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall down her face. How could her beloved boyfriend believe Zara’s lies?Jasper and Gemma were from the same neighbourhood, and their families shared a close bond. His mother had treated her like her own daughter since childhood.When they were growing up, their families and their neighbours thought that it was only a matter of time before they got married. A decade had passed, but there was still no news of their wedding.Gemma drove her car to the beach. She didn’t want to see her boyfriend in her current emotional
