Aunt Judy and Penny were drinking tea at the Saxon estate in Malibu. The estate was a breathtaking paradise. It was overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean. It took Storm five years to build this masterpiece.The Saxon estate was the epitome of prestige and architectural excellence. It was huge and had ten spacious bedrooms, two study areas, two living rooms, two dining rooms, a prayer room, a cinema, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.The interior design was done by Storm’s mother, Judy, and it was screaming luxury. She turned the estate into a captivating masterpiece.The garden was meticulously landscaped with a fountain. It had an entertainment area and a tennis court.Penny smiled brightly at Aunt Judy and asked, “Auntie, is my engagement ring beautiful?”Aunt Judy looked at Penny’s finger and replied beaming, “Congratulations, my dearest daughter. Your engagement ring is stunning. Are you going to invite your family to your wedding?”Penny furrowed her beautiful brows and said, “My
At the Ferguson Group, during lunchtime, Thorne was looking at the food in front of him with disdain. For the past two years, his mother had delivered delicious food to his office without fail.However, since he sent Michaela to prison, she stopped delivering food to him and it hurt. He had been craving his mother’s food for a long time. He never thought that his beloved mother would turn her back on him because of an outsider. Even his childhood friend, David, cut ties with him because of Michaela. Was he wrong to avenge the love of his life?Thorne felt that Judge Harris was too lenient towards Michaela. Twenty years in prison would not bring back his son. He wished that he could go to prison and strangle his worthless ex-wife.Thorne hesitated, but he mustered his courage and dialed his mother’s number. When it was connected, he asked, “Mom, why did you stop preparing lunch for me? Even though the Ferguson family has disowned me, I am still your son.”His mother had a confused expr
Penny was in her office in a daze. She tried sketching a dress for her client, but her mind went blank. Her father’s hateful and cruel words were still ringing in her ears.Her family hurt her deeply. Every time she sees Aunt Judy's relationship with her son, Storm, Penny becomes jealous. Aunt Judy had showered her son with love, and Storm was the apple of his mother's eye.At that moment, her assistant, Tina Oaks, entered her office. She smiled at her boss and asked, “What is wrong, Penny? Why are you crying?”Penny didn’t even realize that she was crying. She wiped her face with a tissue and replied, “I was thinking about my family who abandoned me. I have been an obedient daughter since childhood, but I failed to capture their hearts.”Tina comforted her and said, “I am sorry, my dearest. However, I am glad that you are surrounded by people who love you. Penny, please send me my dreamboat photo. Looking at his photo will be enough for me.”Penny laughed out loud and asked, “Why don
Penny tried to work but she couldn’t concentrate. She took her handbag and went to Ives Clinton’s Penthouse. He was working at home that day because he was finalizing the project.When she arrived at his Penthouse she looked at him and asked, “Ives, please be honest with me. Do you love me?”Ives looked at his fiancée for a long time and asked, frowning, “Sweetheart, what is going on? Are you having second thoughts about me?”Then he tried to hold her in his arms but Penny dodged. She looked at him with questioning eyes.Ives furrowed his brows and asked, “What is wrong with you, Sweetheart? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?”Penny’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she said, “My family is saying you don’t love me, and you are marrying me out of obligation. Is that true, Ives?”Ives couldn’t believe his ears that he laughed. He became frustrated, but he managed to suppress his anger.When he saw tears in his fiancée’s eyes, his heart ached, and replied, “No, it’s n
When Storm and others arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, Owen and his bodyguards were waiting for them. Owen was carrying a placard with Storm’s name beaming with joy.Owen smiled broadly when he saw Grandpa Saxon. He hugged him tightly, grinning from ear to ear, and said, “Grandpa, welcome back to the USA. How are you doing?”Grandpa Saxon smiled brightly and replied, “Hello, my grandson. All is well with me. How are you doing?”Owen smiled and replied, “All is well with us too, Grandpa. My dad will be happy to see you.”Storm chuckled, and then he hugged his best friend tightly. He introduced Michaela's parents to him. Owen greeted them with respect.The bodyguards took their luggage and led them to the parking lot.

The bodyguards opened the doors, and then Storm and others got in the car.Owen sat in the driver’s seat and drove to the Saxon estate. The bodyguards followed behind them. Owen parked th
Penny hugged Aunt Judy’s arm and replied, sighing, “My day was bad, Auntie. My father’s words messed me up. Then Bella came to my office and demanded that I design her wedding dress.On top of that, she wanted me to drop everything and be her wedding planner. Something snapped inside of me. For the first time, I retaliated. I slapped her hard across her face.Before she left my office, she told me that Ives was marrying me out of obligation because my big brother helped him with his business. I am such a fool, Auntie. After listening to Bella’s provocative words, I started doubting Ives’ love.Then I went to his Penthouse to confront him. I heaved a sigh of relief when he told me he wanted to marry me because he loved me. From today onwards, I will never listen to the Earl family nonsense.I have big news, Auntie. Ives and I have set a wedding date. We are getting married on the 3rd of May. Auntie, is Big Brother back?”Aunt Judy hugged her tightly and replied, “I am so happy for you,

At 8 am, Geoffrey parked his car in the Saxon estate parking lot. Before he got out of the car, Storm approached him with his mother’s luggage. He smiled broadly and said, “Good morning, Uncle Geoffrey. Are you well?”Uncle Geoffrey took the luggage from Storm and replied beaming, “Good morning, Storm. I am well. Thank you. How are you?” Storm smiled and said, “All is well with us, Uncle Geoffrey.”A few minutes later, Judy walked toward the car. She smiled at Geoffrey and greeted him politely. Storm opened the passenger door for his mother.He kissed her on both cheeks, then he placed his hand below the roof of the car to protect her. He smiled at Uncle Geoffrey and said, “Travel mercies on the road.” Uncle Geoffrey drove the car to the hospital to fetch Sputla.During lunch, Penny was in her office when her mother and sister budged in. Her mother was hysterical. She rushed to her and slapped her hard across her face.Penny cradled her burning cheek, then she turned and slapped Bella

How are you?”Michaela smiled brightly and replied, “Hello, brother-in-law. I am well. Thank you. How are you doing?”Owen smiled and said, “All is well with us, sister-in-law. Amanda told me that she got the Female Lead role and I want to celebrate her victory with her. Do you have any suggestions, sister-in-law?”Michaela was happy for Amanda. Owen was a good man and replied, “Brother-in-law, why don’t you prepare a candlelit dinner for the two of you? Please decorate your dining room with candles, rose petals, and fresh flowers.Her favourite food is medium rare lamb chops served with veggies and Malva pudding for dessert.” Owen thanked his sister-in-law, and then they hung up.Owen asked his butler, Uncle Chris, to romantically decorate the dining room with candles, fresh flowers, and rose p

She was sitting on the driver’s side sobbing.Clement opened the door and took her in his arms. Penny buried her face in her fiance’s chest and asked, “What have I done to your mother to hate like this? Am I not good enough for you?”Clement’s heart was sore when he saw his beloved fiancée crying. He took the handkerchief from his suit jacket and wiped her face.He kissed her on the forehead and replied, “You are perfect for me, Sweetheart. Please don’t break up with me. I love you wholeheartedly.Sweetheart, I apologize for my mother’s behaviour. Please forgive me. I will sever ties with them. It is clear to me that they don’t want to see me happy.”Penny looked at Clement with red puffy eyes and said, “I love you too, my love. I think my father was going to give us his blessing but I don’t know anymore. Your mother wanted to humi
At President Saxon’s office, Michaela was sitting on the sofa with her husband's head on her lap.She flashed her husband a dazzling smile and said, “Honey, I am so blessed to have you as my husband. Your handsomeness makes me fall in love with you all over again.When you look at me with those beautiful ocean-blue eyes, I feel butterflies in my stomach. Every second I spend with you, my Storm feels like a dream. I love you with all my heart.”Storm sat up straight and kissed his wife passionately for a long time until they were panting.He looked at his wife with tenderness in his eyes and replied, “My stunning wife, when I am with you every moment, it is a treasure, and you fill my heart with true happiness.My Michaela, you are one in a million, and I am grateful to the Lord for blessing me with you. You are my life, my home, and my everything. I love you deeply, my gorgeous wife.”Storm’s words touched Michaela’s heart so deeply that she cried tears of joy. She never thought that
Storm looked at Mr Earl and said, “The verbal and physical abuse towards my sister stops now. You made your choice when you decided to replace my sister with your precious daughter. Don’t you know that every decision has consequences?The reason we are here is to let you know that my sister's in-laws want to discuss the wedding preparations with you this coming Friday. I will send you the details on Thursday. Please don’t be late.” Then they left the Earl family mansion.Storm drove his car home. Michaela smiled brightly when she saw her husband and said, “You are home early today, my love. Is everything alright?”Storm took his wife in his arms and kissed her forehead, then he replied, “Your sister-in-law was bullied, and then I accompanied her to her parents’ home.”Michaela looked at Penny with concern in her eyes and asked, “What is wrong, sister-in-law?”Penny sat beside Aunt Judy and replied, “Sister-in-law, my future mother-in-law hates me. She told her son to break up with me
After work, Penny took her phone and called her beloved nanny, Aunt Celia. When it was connected, she said, “My dearest aunt, please don’t be angry with me. I am on my way to visit my parents.My mother-in-law asked her son to break up with me because I didn’t want to introduce them to my family. So, I decided not to shield them anymore.”Aunt Celia was dumbfounded. She sighed and replied, “Today is not a good day. Your beloved sister has been crying the whole day, shifting all the blame to you.”Penny was puzzled and said, “I didn’t interfere in her marriage, Auntie. Why is she blaming me?”Aunt Celia lowered her voice and replied, “I heard that initially, her husband wanted to marry you, but your parents changed the bride. Hence, he was furious and refused to stay with your sister in their matrimonial mansion.So, your dearest sister is blaming you for stealing her husband’s heart. Your parents had been cursing and hurling insults at you.”Penny couldn’t believe her ears and said, “
The following day, Michaela was nestling in her husband’s arms grinning from ear to ear. She looked at him with eyes full of love and said, “Honey, I was thinking. Would you mind if we told our parents about the uterus plantation?I don’t think they will put pressure on me because they love us a lot. They will give us support and pray for us. What do you think, my handsome husband?”Storm kissed her on top of her head and replied, “I think it’s a good idea, Sweetheart. We will tell them today.I am so happy that you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law. It means a lot to me. For that, I will be forever grateful to you.”Michaela kissed her husband’s well-defined fingers and said, “Mom is a good woman. She welcomed me warmly to the Saxon family because she loves you so much.”An hour later, when Storm's mother heard the sound of the car, she rushed outside. She beamed with joy when she saw her children and greeted them.Michaela took her mother-in-law’s arm smiling and said
At the Williams mansion, Mrs Williams was overjoyed when she saw her precious son. Clement kissed his mother on both cheeks, then he hugged his father. His mother looked at him and asked, “What is wrong, Son?”Clement shook his head and replied, “Nothing. Mom, I am starving.” Then his mother went to the kitchen and started plating food for him. Clement’s eyes lit up when he saw his favourite food. His mother had prepared dumplings and tripe.Clement thanked his mother and started eating.

She is in the process of divorce and her parents are very upset.Mom, I love Penny wholeheartedly and I don’t want to

Is it possible to arrange a meeting for them to meet?Penny shook her head and replied, “There will be no meeting between the two families, Honey. My family will never accept you because of your family background. Why don’t we just get married?”Clement shook his head and said, “Sweetheart, do you mind reaching your parents for the last time? What if they agree to meet my family?”Penny laughed out loud and replied, “That will never happen, not even in your dreams. My father started the Earl Group from scratch, and he looked down on people who were not in the same social circle as him.After meeting my parents, your parents will hate me and I don’t think they will allow you to mar

Please fetch me.” Then they hung up.Storm looked at Owen smiling and said, “Brother, please fetch your future wife from the reception area.” Owen smiled broadly, then he headed to the reception area to fetch the lady who made his heartbeat race so fast.While Amanda was waiting for Michaela, she saw Director Samuels walking towards the lifts.
