Mr Saxon senior looked at his in-laws smiling and said, “My in-laws, we would like to visit the Miller family for betrothal gifts the following Saturday. What do you think?”Mr Miller was dumbfounded. The Saxon family had done so much for them; he didn’t think they deserved the betrothal gifts. If it weren’t because of Storm, maybe their daughter would never have come out of prison alive.Mr Miller smiled and replied, “My in-laws, please give me some time to discuss this matter with my family.” He wanted to hear his wife’s opinion. Mr Saxon Senior nodded his head and said, “Fair enough, my in-laws.”At that moment, Chef Roy walked into the dining room, followed by the other chefs carrying Silver and Gold Chafing dishes. The aroma of gourmet food filled the dining room.Chef Roy catered for everyone according to their requirements. The food was beyond delicious. It was lip-smacking.After dinner, the Saxon family and the Wells family bid farewell to the Miller family. Michaela's parents
At the Miller mansion during breakfast, Mr Miller looked at his daughter, smiling, and said, “Your mother and I were discussing your betrothal gift ceremony.We feel that it will be unfair to receive betrothal gifts from the Saxon family after everything they have done for us. What do you think, Sweetheart?”A faint smile appeared on Michaela’s face when she thought about Storm’s response and replied, “I understand where you come from, Daddy. Let them be, Daddy.I discussed this matter with Storm this morning, trying to persuade him not to bring the betrothal gifts.However, he indicated that it was a token of appreciation to thank you for raising me well.I was so blind, Daddy. For the past two years, I have tried to be Thorne’s good wife. However, Thorne was always cold towards me and never respected me as his wife. He even allowed his friends to humiliate me. I was just a joke to him.I thought if I stayed beside his side obediently, he would see the goodness in me and love me back
Archie Lane looked at David May and replied, “After Michaela vanished into thin air, Thorne went crazy. He has been searching for her everywhere.It is true that it is only when we have truly lost someone we finally gain clarity. At that moment, Thorne realized that he had fallen in love with Michaela for a long time, and he wanted her back.He even moved back to their matrimonial mansion and hasn’t slept a wink since that day. He is waiting patiently for her.”At that moment, two waiters brought their food. It was mouth-watering. David smiled and thanked them. The food was delicious.David was dumbfounded. He looked at Archie puzzled and asked, “Didn’t he tell us only Paula would be the mother of his children? Didn’t he sever ties with his friends because of Paula? Did Paula develop amnesia after the fall?”Archie shook his head and replied, “Everything that happened was orchestrated by Paula. She wanted to force Thorne’s hand in marriage.”David couldn’t believe his ears and asked, “
In Malibu, Owen was in his office preparing a lawsuit against the South African Justice System for wrongfully convicting his sister-in-law for a crime she didn’t commit.Owen had been communicating with Chief Justice Sithole regarding Michaela’s matter. Chief Justice Sithole had promised him that he would submit a detailed report explaining what transpired during Miss Miller’s case.Owen was supposed to receive the report from Chief Justice Sithole the previous day at 6 pm.After he came back from the Miller mansion, he checked his e-mails, but there was nothing in his inbox.At 11 am, Owen took his phone and dialed an overseas number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, Chief Justice Sithole. Your office has not submitted the report as promised. Is there a problem, Chief Justice Sithole?”Chief Justice Sithole had sweat on his forehead and replied, “Hello, Mr Wells. Do you mind giving us an extension until tomorrow morning?The new evidence has resurfaced. I found out that Miss Ca
After Doreen submitted the reports to Chief Justice Sithole she heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked the Lord for His faithfulness.David took Doreen’s hand and escorted her to the living room. He sat beside her and said, “Darling, my mother has been waiting years to meet her daughter-in-law. Do you mind if we visit her tomorrow?”Doreen was taken aback she didn’t expect her boyfriend to introduce her to her future mother-in-law so soon. She thought they would date for a few years before he introduced her to his family.She smiled at her boyfriend and replied, “Yes, I would love to meet her, David.” David took her hand into his arms and asked, “Sweetheart, could you please change the way you are addressing me?”Doreen smiled shyly at David and stammered, “Ho-ne-y.” David was so happy that he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. David released her when they were panting.Since it was late, David decided to drive his sweetheart to her apartment. He parked his car in her driv
Early in the morning, Doreen received a call from Chief Justice Sithole. He said, “Miss Bernie, I apologize for speaking harshly. I didn’t mean any harm. I was under a lot of stress. Please forgive me, Miss Bernie.”Doreen was not angry at Chief Justice Sithole. If he hadn't threatened her, maybe she would have missed her future husband or their meeting might have been delayed.When she thought about David's handsome face, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and replied, “It is water under the bridge, Chief Justice Sithole. Nothing happens by mistake in my life. What will happen next, Sir?”Chief Justice Sithole replied, “We will have an urgent Zoom meeting with Mr Gardener and Mr Cliff at 9 am to suspend them whilst we investigate this matter thoroughly.Also, we have to press charges against Miss Ball for perjury. I want to teach her a lesson that she will never forget.She is treating human life like grass. I heard that she bribed the inmates to torment Miss Michaela
Bryce Gardner was packing his stuff in a daze. Should he lose his job, he would never forgive Paula for putting it on the line. He didn’t even notice the security guard who was watching him like a hawk.In Jeff Cliff’s office, Jeff was cracking jokes with the security guard trying to suppress fear in his heart. His parents would be so disappointed in him because they knew him as principled.In the Cliff family, Mr and Mrs Cliff were blessed with three sons and a daughter. Jeff was the last born, and he was the first one to graduate from university. He was his parents' pride and joy.After Jeff and Bryce had left their offices, Doreen dialed the Chief of Police, Chief Smith’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Hello, Chief Smith. You are speaking to Doreen Bernie.I would like to press charges of perjury against Miss Sloane Ball. Chief Justice Sithole indicated that he wants Miss Ball to be arrested before the end of business.”Chief Smith nodded his head and replied, “Hello, Mis
Sloane lowered her gaze to hide her emotions. She heard that Thorne and the others were struggling to allocate Mr Clive Rose’s whereabouts. Therefore, she decided to shift all the blame to him.Paula underestimated the height between the floors. She never thought that she would be seriously injured. So, they never discussed what would happen after they successfully framed Michaela.Sloane took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and replied, “Before Paula got injured, she told me to follow the mysterious man’s instructions to the tee.After I gave Paula the drugged water, Mr Rose took me to his car and instructed me to testify against Michaela.I was reluctant to testify because it was not my fight. However, he told me that Paula’s injury would be in vain should we fail to frame Michaela.Also, he indicated that no one would be able to restore the footage. How foolish I was.”Mr Chandler was fuming with anger and asked, “Did you ever think about your parents when you commi
A year had passed since Michaela had had a uterus transplant. Then she started preparing for the baby.Three months later, she realized that her period was late. Then she went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit.Michaela was pacing up and down while she was waiting for the results. She took the pregnancy test sticks with trembling hands. There were two lines. Michaela was so happy that she cried.An hour later, she headed to the living room and said, “Mom, I am going shopping, then I will visit my husband at work.”Her mother in love smiled brightly at her and replied, “The food is ready. Please pack and take lunch with you.”A few minutes later, Michaela drove to the mall. She went to the baby shop. She bought a tiny 2-piece suit and tiny socks.Michaela asked the salesperson to wrap the gifts separately. Then Michaela drove to the Harvest Group. She went to the executive lift.When one of the secretaries saw her boss’s wife, she opened the President’s office. She smiled at
At the May mansion, David looked at his wife with tenderness in his eyes and said, “Please call me immediately when you feel uncomfortable.” Doreen was thirty-nine weeks pregnant.Doreen smiled brightly at her husband and replied, “Don’t worry about me, my love. Grandma and Mom will take care of me should your son decide to be born today.” David kissed his wife goodbye, then he went to work.David had taken two months' vacation leave to accompany his wife. However, today the Minister of Correctional Services was visiting his office.Around 12 pm, Doreen was resting in her bedroom when she started feeling uncomfortable.Her lower back was painful, and she had visited the bathroom several times. She walked to her closet, she took her baby bag, and then she started packing.Grandma May and her mother-in-law were in the living room watching gospel songs. Doreen took her phone and called her mother-in-law. When it was connected, she said, “Mom, I think I am in labour. My lower back is pain
Storm and his gorgeous wife, Michaela, were mesmerized by the beauty of the Greek Island and the breathtaking sunsets. They spent two weeks in Santorini Resort, then they returned home, bringing souvenirs for everyone.Their mother was overjoyed. She took her daughter in love’s hand and asked, “How was your honeymoon, my daughter in love?”Michaela flashed her mother in love a beautiful smile and replied, “It was beautiful, Mom. Santorini was magical. I will show you the photos, Mom.”Then, Michaela gave her mother in love a delicate pair of earrings. Her mother in love was overjoyed.A few days later, their mother invited her friends for tea. She wanted to share the wedding cake with them. Ingrid and others brought luxurious gifts for Michaela. They wanted to thank her for the gifts she gave them at the wedding.Ingrid looked at Judy and said, “My friend, your daughter in love is gorgeous and capable, which is rare. You have to thank the Lord for blessing you with such a daughter. Yo
The young couple and their entourage went outside to take photos. Her mother in love approached them with a huge smile on her face.She hugged both of them and said, “Your wedding vows gave me goosebumps, my children. What a beautiful wedding.” They smiled brightly at their mother and thanked her.Michaela's parents kissed them and said, “What a lovely ceremony.” Storm smiled broadly and thanked his in-laws.An hour later, the guests walked to the lavishly decorated ballroom. Michaela had changed into a breathtakingly Swarovski crystal embellished wedding dress for the reception.The MC, Guy Smith, walked to the stage and asked the guests to stand. Then the band played ‘You for Me’ by Johnny Gill.The newlyweds and their entourage walked into the venue dancing. Storm and Michaela had huge smiles on their faces.Shortly afterward, His Shadow Resort Chef and the waiters delivered a sumptuous feast for the guests.After the speeches from both families, Storm led his gorgeous wife to the
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.

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.

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.
