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
At Durban Correctional Services, Lawyer Marcus was in the interrogation room with Mrs Phillips and Becky. He looked at them and said, “Based on the severity of your charges, I strongly advise you to consider a plea deal with the prosecutor.”Mrs Phillips shook her head and replied, “Mr Marcus, I admit that Rain was not my favourite daughter-in-law. However, I was completely unaware of any plot to harm my grandson.”Lawyer Marcus looked at her for a long time, then he turned to Becky and asked, “What about you, Miss Becky?”Ever since Becky was arrested, the light in her eyes had faded into a dull and desolate grey, reflecting the deep sadness and hopelessness.However, when she heard Mr Marcus’s words, she looked at him with eyes full of hope and replied, “I will be a state witness, Mr Marcus.”Mr Marcus quickly notified Samantha Cooper that one of his clients wanted to be a state witness.After the bail hearing, Zara was transferred to Durban Correctional Services. When her mother tol
Keith, the reporter, had connections at Home Affairs. He decided to call his best friend, Beryl North. He pulled out his phone and dialled Beryl’s number.When the call was connected, he said, “Hello, my sweet Beryl. Are you well?” Beryl Small smiled brightly and replied, “Hello, Keith. All is well with us. How are you doing?”Keith was happy to hear that and said, “I need a favour. Could you please check if Mr Payton Phillips and Miss Rain Stanton are still married? Should you give me this information, you can ask me anything, and I will satisfy you.”Beryl was over the moon. She had a secret crush on Keith for years and asked, “Would you be so kind as to accompany me to visit my grandfather in the hospital?”After her parents died in a car accident, she was raised by her maternal grandfather. He had been asking Beryl to bring her boyfriend to him to take a look.Keith’s heart skipped a beat and replied, “It will be an honour, my sweet Beryl.” Keith secretly harboured feelings for Ber
Mrs Pearson was devastated to realize that the family harmony she so valued had been destroyed by her own daughter. Her heart was in turmoil. How are they going to pay their employees’ salaries?She sat on the sofa, then she took the bank demand letter from her designer handbag. Her body started trembling as she read the letter.She started panicking when she saw that they had only five days left before they would be evicted. A suffocating feeling overwhelmed her.Even if they sold everything valuable they own, they would still come up short of the required amount.At that moment, Austin knocked on his mother’s bedroom door. His mother opened the door and asked, “What is wrong, Son?”Austin looked at his mother and replied, “I just received a call from Uncle Gerry indicating that Zara’s bail hearing will be held tomorrow at 2 pm. How are we going to pay his lawyer’s fees, Mom?”His mother looked at him with sadness in her eyes and said, “I am sorry, Austin. We can't afford to hire a la
In Melbourne, Australia, the rain was coming down hard, forming puddles on the ground. Rain was in her bedroom, looking at the grey sky outside. It was a perfect reflection of the cold, joyless heart she carried inside.Rain was clutching her son’s photo close to her chest with tears flowing uncontrollably down her face. An overwhelming grief consumed her heart.At that moment, someone knocked on her door and entered. Harvey walked into his sister’s bedroom carrying a tray.When he saw his sister sobbing, he put the tray on the small table, then he hugged her tightly for a long time.Rain wiped the tears on her face and said, “My heart is filled with regret for failing to heed your warning, Big Brother.
