LOGINAt the Green mansion in Sandton, Ursula Green was nestled in her husband, Daniel Green, with strong arms. Her husband was rubbing her big belly.
They had been married for three years, and her husband’s parents loved her so dearly. Her mother-in-law had never missed her prenatal check-up. `
Even though the Green family was poor, Ursula’s parents didn’t look down on Daniel because they loved each other very much.
The Morgan family was the second wealthiest and most influential family in the country. They operated hotel chains, managed commercial real estate, and provided logistics services, spanning multiple sectors of the economy.
The Morgan couple had two children: their eldest son, Kingston Morgan, and their youngest daughter, Ursula. They loved their children wholeheartedly.
Kingston was the Morgan Group CEO, and his father, Sebastian Morgan, was the Chairman. His wife, Sophia, was a housewife.
Ursula looked at her husband with eyes full of love and said, “Baby, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen today. My spirits are down.
Please be careful when you are driving to work, my love. We wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you, my husband.”
Her husband looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and replied, “Nothing bad is going to happen to us, Sweetheart. Maybe it’s just hormones since you are pregnant. I cannot wait to hold my little buns.
My mother wants to move in with us after you give birth. What do you think, my love?”
Ursula smiled brightly and replied, “Honey, Mom is so sweet. It will be wonderful to be surrounded by the people I love the most.
My mother wanted to move in with us when I was three months pregnant, but Daddy stopped her. I will ask the housekeeper to prepare two guest rooms for them.”
Daniel lowered his gaze to hide his emotions. He wasn’t happy that his in-laws would move in with them.
The Morgan family gave them the matrimonial mansion as a wedding gift. Then they helped him establish the Green Group. He felt inferior to his wife because of everything he had been given by his wife’s family.
Since his wife’s spirits were down, he looked at her with eyes full of concern and asked, “Do you want me to keep you company?”
Ursula shook her head and replied, “No, Hubby. Didn’t you say you had a board meeting this morning? Maybe it’s just hormones, as you indicated. If I encounter any problem, I will ask Butler Steve to call you.
Please go and take a bath. You will be stuck in traffic if you leave late.” Her husband kissed her passionately, then he went to the bathroom to bathe.
Ursula went to the bathroom to pee, then she brushed her teeth and washed her face. She walked to her husband’s closet and picked a custom-made black suit, white shirt, and red tie.
Her husband walked out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around his waist. He was drying his hair with the towel.
Ursula took a hairdryer and helped him to dry his hair. Then she helped him wear his clothes. Ursula wanted to touch his beautiful ABS, but she restrained herself.
She accompanied her husband to the dining room to eat. She had a feeling that it was the last time they would eat breakfast together.
Was one of them going to die that day? She was enveloped by fear. She asked the Lord to bless them with more years.
After her husband finished eating, Ursula sent him off. She hugged him tightly for a long time and said, “Travel mercies on the road, my love.” Daniel kissed her on the forehead, then he got in the car and drove away.
Unbeknownst to Ursula, there was no board meeting. Her husband was rushing to spend time with his first love, Patricia Sullivan.
Six months ago, Daniel bought an apartment for his first love, and then he hired her as his secretary. Even though he had promised his wife that he would never have a female secretary.
Patricia dumped Daniel because he was poor. Then she secretly married a wealthy man and left the country with him.
Patricia had been abused by her husband for years, then she decided to return to the country.
When Daniel arrived at the Green Group, he called his mother. When the call was connected, he said, “Hello, Mom. Are you well? Ursula is not feeling well. Kindly go to our matrimonial mansion and keep her company.”
His mother indicated that she had received a call from Ursula checking up on them. Then she promised him that she would go to their matrimonial mansion to keep Ursula company.
Ursula called her parents, her brother, Kingston, her brother’s best friend, Harvey Stanton, and her best friend, Rain Stanton, to check if everything was alright with them.
Her mother was so worried since she was heavily pregnant. She wanted to come to the Green mansion to stay with her until she gave birth. However, Ursula told her that Butler Steve would call her should something happen to her.
Ursula didn’t want her mother to come because her father was not well. He was booked off sick for a week.
She was craving buns with a lot of cheese, so she went to the kitchen and started baking.
Half an hour later, Ursula heard the sound of the car. She heard Butler Steve saying, ‘Good morning, Madam.’ She smiled brightly and walked to the door to greet her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law smiled brightly, then she hugged her and said, “Good morning, my sweet daughter-in-law. How are my precious grandsons?”
Ursula touched her huge belly and replied, “Good morning, Mom. Your precious grandsons are doing well. Only one week left, then you will hold them in your arms.”
Her mother-in-law was beside herself with excitement. Ursula ushered her mother-in-law to the living room.
A few minutes later, the housekeeper walked into the living room carrying a tray. She had prepared tea with soft and fluffy cream buns for Mrs Green. Then she put a plate of buns with cheese in front of Ursula.
Ursula thanked her, then she took the teapot and poured tea for her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and took a bite.
She closed her eyes and said, “My sweet daughter, these buns are divine. You have to teach me how to bake such delicate buns.”
Ursula nodded her head and replied, “Mom, after I give birth to your little buns, we will bake together.
Mom, I asked the helper to prepare the guest rooms for you and Mom. Both are on the second floor.” The Green mansion was perched on a hillside overlooking the lush green golf course.
Her mother-in-law smiled brightly and asked, “My sweet daughter, do you mind if I move in with you today?”
Ursula shook her head and replied, “Mom, you can move in with us anytime. Why don’t you go to the second floor and choose your bedroom?” Her mother-in-law was over the moon.
After she finished eating her delicious creamy buns then she went to the second floor to choose her bedroom. She stood on the balcony and looked at the golf course below.
Austin and his mother got back to the car and immediately drove away. On the way, Mrs Pearson pulled out her phone and speed-dialled Gemma's number.The moment the call connected, she said, “Gemma, we went to the Carson family residence to ask for forgiveness.However, the housekeeper told us that the entire family flew to Gauteng to attend the betrothal ceremony today. Do you know if Maddox and Miss Stanton are dating?”Gemma’s heart dropped into her stomach when she heard Mrs Pearson’s words. The realization that even proud Mrs Pearson was rushing to beg for Rain's forgiveness made Gemma's world spin.Driven by a lingering wave of envy, Gemma tightened her grip on the phone, and she replied, “I don't have the slightest idea if they are dating, Auntie. However, I will find out from Karen immediately.” Mrs Pearson thanked her, then they hung up.Unbeknownst to Gemma, Karen had accompanied her boss to the opulent Stanton family estate for the betrothal gift ceremony.Karen was sharing a
At the Carson family residence, bathed in the warm light of the sunroom, Grandma Carson was enjoying a quiet afternoon tea with her daughter-in-law and her cherished granddaughter-in-love. The chaos of the mall felt miles away in this peaceful sanctuary.Rain set her porcelain teacup down with a soft click, then she looked at the elegant elderly woman and said, “Grandma, I am going back home tomorrow to prepare for your visit.”A soft, adoring smile spread across Grandma Carson's face as she looked at her precious granddaughter-in-law, and she murmured, squeezing her fingers gently, “I understand your heart, my sweet Rain. Go home tomorrow and get some rest.You shouldn't have to work so hard to prepare for us, my precious granddaughter. Let your brother handle the logistics.When my precious grandson and the rest of us arrive with the betrothal gifts on Saturday, I want you looking radiant and relaxed.You have survived so many storms, my granddaughter in love; now it is our turn to s
After Jasper left home, Gemma sat in the living room, lost in thought. At that moment, her phone started ringing. She smiled when she saw the caller ID and said, “Hello, Auntie. What a pleasant surprise.”Mrs Pearson's voice was filled with deep concern as she replied, “Hello, my dearest. I was shopping with friends at the mall yesterday, and my heart nearly stopped when I saw you on your knees before that beautiful young woman.I didn't dare to come near you because the Carson matriarch was right there with her. Who was she, Gemma? What happened?”The memory of the mall confrontation sent a wave of pure rage through Gemma, causing her to sob hysterically into the phone, and she replied, “That was Payton’s ex-wife, Auntie.I was just speaking up for Zara, and she completely abused her power. She forced me onto my knees right there at the mall.When I refused, she threatened to strip my husband of his career. However, she went ahead and fired my husband, Auntie. I have never suffered su
Director Marshall smiled broadly, and he replied, “Hello, Dr Finch. I am calling to inform you that you can disregard our earlier conversation entirely.Your position as a Paediatrician is perfectly secure. Miss Stanton just called me to officially rescind the termination directive.”Jasper froze, utterly stunned by the sudden turn of events. He gripped the phone tightly, his mind struggling to process the rapid reversal right in front of his watching family.His composure momentarily slipped into pure disbelief, and he repeated aloud, "Miss Stanton rescinded it?"At the mention of Rain's name, Gemma stopped sobbing, her eyes widening in shock as she looked up from her knees.Director Marshall confirmed over the line, “Miss Stanton explicitly stated that you are an innocent man and an exceptional doctor whose career should not be destroyed by your wife's malice.Dr Finch, your full medical privileges have been restored, effective immediately. We expect you back on shift tomorrow mornin
At that moment, Maddox gently pushed open the guest room door. The moment his grandmother informed him of the incident at the mall, he walked out of the boardroom without a second thought.Maddox closed the door softly behind him and crossed the room with swift strides. His eyes were full of protective devotion as he caught sight of her sitting on the sofa.He knelt right before her on the carpet; he reached up to gently cup her face in his warm hands.The moment he noticed the redness of her eyes, a piercing jolt of fury towards Gemma ripped through him, fuelling an intense desire to make her pay.His gaze locked onto hers with a depth of love that promised sanctuary, and he murmured, his voice thick with emotion as his thumb lightly brushed her cheek, “I am here, Sweetheart.I am so sorry I wasn't there to stand between you and that cruelty. She will pay for every single tear she made you shed today. You are completely safe now.”Rain leaned into his touch, completely letting go of h
Gemma lowered her head to hide her emotions and confessed the absolute truth. She explained how her deep-seated jealousy towards Rain Stanton had clouded her judgment.She detailed the horrific words she had spat at Rain, weaponizing the tragic death of an innocent child. Finally, she explained how her malicious tongue had cost her husband his prestigious position at the hospital.Gemma's mother covered her mouth in utter shame. She looked at her daughter with tear-filled eyes, devastated that the daughter she raised could be so cruel to a grieving mother.Her mother didn’t even offer her a shred of comfort, and she shouted, her voice trembling with rage, “Have you completely lost your mind, Gemma? How could you stand in a public place and mock the tragic death of an innocent child?Your husband worked himself to the bone to build a medical career, and you destroyed it with your venomous mouth.You have disgraced this family, and I don't blame my son-in-law for locking you out. You des
Leo parked the car in the driveway, then he took his phone and dialed Mr Harvey Stanton’s phone number.When the call was connected, he said, “Hello, Mr Stanton. Miss Rain has reconciled with her husband. Then we accompanied her to her new mansion. Sir, I have a feeling that Miss Pearson will be re
In the living room, Rain was watching a television with Baby Colton sleeping in her lap. Butler Edward walked in front of Payton and said, “Miss Rain, Mr Phillips is here to see you.”Payton knelt on one knee and said, “My beautiful wife, I was wrong. Please forgive me. My life without you in it is
Payton greeted the Pearson family with respect, then he put the basket of fruit on the table. Mr Pearson smiled broadly and said, “What a pleasant surprise, Son. You have turned the Phillips Group around in just two years. I am so proud of you.”When Mr Pearson heard that the Phillips Group was prep
Jasper looked at his friend and replied, “She is in the VIP ward number 1201. I think Maddox paid for her private ward. How could an orphan afford the VIP ward?”Unbeknownst to them, the Stanton family had reserved the twelfth floor for the Stanton family members and relatives.Payton nodded his hea
