Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
It was Saturday and the weather was beautiful. At the Cage mansion, the atmosphere was normal. Mr Cage Senior didn’t take Ferguson’s visit seriously. He knew in his heart that Thorne Ferguson didn’t love his granddaughter anymore.Therefore, he didn’t prepare anything for them. Also, he didn’t invite any relatives to witness his granddaughter’s joyous occasion.Mr Cage Senior was so disappointed in his granddaughter. He used to think that he raised his granddaughter well. However, Paula’s cruelty shattered his heart to pieces. She killed his first grandson in her own hands to frame the legal wife.For the past few days, Paula tried to reach her beloved boyfriend, Thorne, to no avail. She had been comforting herself that Thorne would come to see her after she was discharged from the hospital. However, he never came.When her grandfather told her that Thorne was forced by his elders to marry her, she refuted her grandfather’s words. She told him that Thorne was her soulmate, and he loved
In the meantime, at the May mansion, luxurious cars were in the driveway. The atmosphere was lively. Grandma May was smiling from ear to ear. She wished it was her precious grandson's wedding day.Grandpa May had invited his influential friends and Pastor Stevens to his grandson's betrothal ceremony. His friends were happy for him, and they came to give him support.David had invited his friends to accompany him to his beloved girlfriend’s family. Jeff Cliff, Archie Lane, and Bryce Gardner were present to support their friend. They were not aware that Thorne went to the Cage family to pay a bride price for Paula.Archie Lane was teasing David and asked, “David, didn’t you tell us that you would never marry?Who talked sense into your mind? Please don’t tell me it was Doreen because we know her all our lives.”David smiled and replied, “A beautiful soul told me not to allow my father’s mistakes to shape my life. She also told me that there was someone special out there waiting for me. H
After Paula was taken by the police, Samson took his phone and dialed Jeff Cliff’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, Jeff. How are you? I need your help.”Jeff was puzzled when he received a call from Paula’s brother and replied, “Hello, Samson. I am well. Thank you. How may I help you?”Samson replied, “Paula has been arrested for framing Miss Miller. So, I am looking for a lawyer.”Jeff sneered, disgust evident in his voice, “Samson, I never thought that Paula was so cruel. She deserves everything coming to her. I wish she could rot in jail. Because she was obsessed with Thorne, Bryce and I might lose our job.I will never forgive her for what she did to us. Do you know that Sloane’s mother died because of her? I hate your sister with passion.I blamed myself for indulging her. I thought she was a decent person. Unfortunately, she was an animal.If she loved Thorne the most, why did she leave him in the beginning? Samson, I respect you, but I will never help Paula.Paul
When the police officers were locking Paula Cage in the cell, Chief Smith, sent a text message to his nephew, Brian Chandler telling him that Paula had been arrested for framing Miss Miller.After Brian Chandler finished his meeting, he dialed Samson Cage’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Mr Cage, do you still want us to meet?” Samson indicated that he was in the parking lot waiting for him.A few minutes later, in the private room, Samson looked at Brian and said, “Mr Chandler, my sister, Paula, has been arrested.I have been thinking since you are defending Sloane, it will be easier to defend my sister as well. Do you mind representing her in court?”Brian shook his head and replied, “Mr Cage, I can’t represent your sister in court because she is the one who started this mess. To tell you the truth, no lawyer will represent your sister.”Samson was dumbfounded when he heard Mr Chandler’s words and asked, “What do you mean, Mr Chandler?”Mr Chandler replied, “Miss Miller’s la
On Monday morning, Doreen's parents, her brother, Isaac, and his wife, Imogen, were in the living room waiting for Doreen to come down.At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Isaac smiled brightly when he saw his brother-in-law. He hugged him, then he ushered him into the living room. David was handsome in a custom-made blue suit, white shirt, and red tie.David greeted his in-laws with respect, then he sat down to wait for his bride. Doreen walked slowly into the living room stunning in an elegant off-the-shoulder long-sleeved white dress.She had a birdcage veil covering her beautiful face, and she was carrying a white bouquet in her hand. Her mother had tears of joy in her eyes and her father was dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief. He wished it was her wedding day already.David’s heart was beating like a drum against his chest. He wanted to pull her into a tight embrace and kiss her, but he restrained himself. He had never seen anyone so gorgeous. Her brother and Imogen wer
Paula’s bail application was supposed to be on Tuesday. However, it was postponed until Thursday because Paula's family couldn’t find a lawyer to represent her. The judge appointed a lawyer for her and gave him time to prepare.Chief Smith asked the judge to move Miss Cage to Durban Correctional Service. The netizens had been protesting outside the police station since Sunday morning, and it made it difficult for the police officers to do their job.The judge agreed, and then Paula was transferred to Durban Correctional Services. Sloane couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Paula.She rushed to Paula and vented all her pain about losing her mother to her. She slapped her several times, screaming, “Give me back my mother.” Paula tried to fight back, but she was not Sloane’s match. Her face was swollen like a watermelon.When the prison wardens heard the commotion, they rushed into their cell and pulled them apart.At Thorne Ferguson’s matrimonial mansion, Thorne was with his trusted bo
At Durban Correctional Services, the prison warden called Dolly’s name and told her that she had a visitor. A faint smile appeared on her face because she thought the visitor was her mother.When Dolly saw her visitor, she nearly turned around and went back to her cell. Her body started trembling. How could she forget how ruthless that woman was? She could swear that the woman who was sitting as her visitor was a mercenary.Was she here to finish what she had started? Subconsciously, Dolly touched a deep scar on her face. Her beautiful face was ruthlessly slashed by Maya with a knife.How could she forget the excruciating pain she felt when her leg was broken by that heartless woman? Her leg was not fully healed yet, she was still limping.The prison warden looked at her and asked, “Dolly, what is wrong with you? Hurry up. Your family is waiting for you.”Dolly snapped back to her senses, then she turned to the prison warden. She opened and closed her mouth, but she didn’t utter a wor
In the young couple's bedroom at the Saxon estate, Michaela stood in front of the mirror in a stunning knee-high red dress accentuating her hourglass figure with a slender waist. The dress hugged her curves perfectly. It was showing off her long slender legs.Storm walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. He approached her from behind and hugged her tightly. He smiled broadly and said, “Your weight is coming back, Sweetheart.”After Michaela was released from prison, she didn’t have an appetite. She used to skip lunch and dinner. However, as soon as she started using her medicinal herbs and her husband's love, her appetite increased.Michaela flashed her handsome husband a dazzling smile and replied, “You are my antidote, my love. No one has loved me the way you love me. I am truly happy, my handsome husband.”Then she turned and wrapped her arms around her husband then she kissed him passionately. Storm deepened the kiss and asked hoarsely, “My stunning wife, don’t you want me t
In the blink of an eye, it was Storm and Michaela’s wedding day. Their families went to His Shadow Resort a week before the wedding.During the rehearsal dinner, after the speeches, the guests ate and danced until midnight. Storm’s mother was so happy that she cried. For the first time, she wished her ex-husband, Hayden, were there to witness their son’s wedding.Michaela woke up early in the morning and thanked the Lord for everything He had done for her. She then thanked Him for blessing her with both families.Michaela opened the door that led to the balcony. She stood on the balcony in awe of nature’s beauty. The fluffy white clouds were drifting lazily across a brilliant blue sky. Then she went back to her bedroom to take a bath.Around 8 am, Mrs Miller went to her daughter’s bedroom. She knocked on the door, then she entered.She hugged her daughter tightly and said, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. I love you so much, my beautiful daugh
An hour later, Judge Bill and others walked to the courtroom and sat on the bench. Judge Bill banged her gavel and said, “The court is in session.”Judge Bill asked Lawyer Crane and Miss Cage to stand. Then she said, "I have looked at the evidence presented by Senior Prosecutor May and the closing arguments between Prosecutor Gardner and Lawyer Crane.Miss Cage, your lies led Mr Ferguson to force his ex-wife to abort their baby to avenge the baby that you lost.You have destroyed many people's lives by failing to respect Mr and Mrs Ferguson's marriage. During the trial, you never showed any remorse. Therefore, I sentence you to life imprisonment without parole."The whole courtroom erupted in chaos. Paula was stunned. Her mind went blank. The police officers handcuffed her and took her away. The netizens were overjoyed. They welcomed the verdict.The Cage family couldn’t believe their ears that Mr Cage Senior rolled his eyes and fainted. Samson started panicking and called an ambulan
Thorne was driving his car so fast that he jumped over several red robots. When they arrived at the Ferguson Private Hospital, Doreen was rushed to the emergency room.David was pacing up and down in the waiting room. At that moment, the May family entered the waiting room, and David rushed to his grandfather and hugged him tightly, crying.A few minutes later, the Bernie family arrived. Pastor Bernie said, “Let’s hold hands and ask for the Lord’s mercy over Doreen and our little bun.” Then they started praying.In the courtroom, after the police took Paula away, Judge Bill told everyone that the court would resume at 9 am to listen to the closing arguments. Then the court adjourned.Judge Bill asked Prosecutor Gardner and Lawyer Crane to follow her to her chambers. She looked at Lawyer Crane and asked, “What happened there?”Lawyer Crane lowered her gaze and replied, “Judge Bill, I don’t know what to say. My client didn’t even tell me that she had a hysterectomy.I wouldn’t have aske
In the blink of an eye, it was Paula’s trial. It was a media sensation. The netizens were glued to their television. The Saxon family and Owen were in the living room waiting for the trial to begin.Ben, the reporter, stopped Paula’s lawyer, Sally Crane, and asked, “Miss Crane, congratulations on being chosen to represent Miss Cage. How is your client going to plead?”Sally Crane smiled and replied, “No comment.” Then she walked to the courtroom. Senior Prosecutor Doreen May walked into the courtroom with Prosecutor Amelia Gardner trailing behind.David May, Thorne Ferguson, his mother, Gail Ferguson, and the Cage family were sitting at the back.Judge Bill walked into the courtroom with four judges in tow, then they sat on the bench.

At the Earl family mansion, Mr Earl was in the living room with his daughter, Penny, and his son-in-law, Clement. He looked at them and said, “Today, I attended Bella’s court case. She looked haggard and thin.Bella thought the judge would be lenient to her because she was disabled. However, the lawyers hired by the deceased families didn’t show any mercy. They were looking for a heavy sentence.In the end, Bella was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. She couldn’t believe her ears when she heard the verdict; she fainted. Tracy has destroyed the lives of many people.”Even though Penny and Bella’s relationship was bad, she was still her baby sister. She felt sad for her and replied, “I hope Bella will be in the same prison cell with Mom to help her around.”Her father nodded his head, then he decided to change the subject and asked, “My children, is everything ready for your engagement banquet?”Penny shook her head and said, “Daddy, we decided to postpone our engagement banquet.
A few days after Mr Ferguson Senior was discharged from the hospital, the Saxon bodyguard called Mr Saxon Senior to give him feedback and said, “Hello, Sir. My source told me that Mr Ferguson Senior is recovering well at home.I also heard that his grandson, Thorne Ferguson, had been searching for young Mrs Saxon high and low since the Ferguson family received the medicine.He was convinced that young Mrs Saxon was in South Africa.” Mr Saxon Senior thanked his bodyguard then they hung up. During breakfast, Grandpa Saxon told his family the good news.One month before Storm and Michaela’s wedding, after dinner, Storm smiled at the elders and said, “Grandpa, Mom, Michaela will be undergoing a uterus transplant in the first week of March.Michaela will visit the psychologist, Dr Gray, for an emotional readiness evaluation when she gets an appointment. We were told that he was fully booked for a month.”Michaela had been undergoing a physical examination to check her overall health. The re
When Bryce and Amelia arrived at the Durban Correctional Services, they requested to see Miss Cage. They were ushered into the interrogation room.A few minutes later, Paula walked to the interrogation room. She smirked when she saw Bryce. She sat down and asked, “What do you want, Bryce?”Bryce looked at his wife, nodded his head, then Amelia looked at Paula and said, “Miss Cage, please note that your court case has been set for the 18th and 19th of this month. Please prepare yourself.”Paula was shocked and asked, “How could you set my court date since you know I don’t have a lawyer?”Amelia’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Whose fault was that, Miss Cage? Didn’t you fire your lawyer because of incompetence?”Paula looked at her and replied, “I made a mistake, Prosecutor Zibi. Where is Miss Bernie?”Amelia shook her head and said, “Senior Prosecutor May is on vacation leave. Do you need me to help you with anything, Miss Cage?”Paula was taken aback when she heard Doreen’s last name
Thorne understood where his grandmother was coming from. She wanted to hold her great-grandchildren before she went to heaven.Thorne looked at his grandmother and asked, “Grandma, I have been asking for forgiveness for months, but you are refusing to forgive me. Am I not your grandson?”His Grandma stopped and looked back at her grandson. She smiled and replied, “My grandson, I have forgiven you a long time ago. However, I don’t want Michaela to be your wife again. She would be better off without you, my grandson.You are so cruel. I don’t know who you took after because your grandfather and your father are kind-hearted. Also, you have an ungrateful heart. If you can search deep in your heart, you will find that you don’t love Michaela.It’s just that she was your backup plan. The only person you truly loved was Paula Cage. After you discovered that she wasn’t the woman you thought she was, you convinced yourself that you loved Michaela, but it is not true.”There was a hint of irrita
On the way home, Mr Ferguson Senior looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Please don’t tell my grandson about Michaela’s gift. I don’t want him to misunderstand.”Before Gail could respond, her mother-in-law chuckled and replied, “Hubby, the package was received and opened by Thorne. He also saw Michaela’s note.He immediately called his private investigator, Archie, and asked him to track down Michaela. Then he took his car keys and left. I think he is with Archie right now.”Her husband shook his head and said, “I don’t think they would be able to find Michaela.”Gail took her phone and dialed her beloved son’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Thorne, your grandfather has been discharged from the hospital. Did Archie manage to find Michaela?”Thorne shook his head and replied, “Michaela sent a boy to the post office to courier Grandpa’s medication. We are trying to track down this young man. Maybe he will be able to give us more information about Michaela’s whereabouts.M
