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

She took off her clothes and wrapped herself with a towel, then she walked to the bathroom.Half an hour later, she walked to her closet and chose a blue custom-made knee-high dress. Then she applied light make-up. She wanted to be beautiful for her boyfriend. At 17:50, Doreen sat in the living room waiting for her beloved David. Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Doreen opened the door with a big grin on her face.David handed her a bouquet of red roses. Then he took her in his arms and kissed her on her forehead.Doreen flashed him a beautiful smile and said, "Thank you, Honey. I love them."

At 6 am, David dialed His Own Image Boutique’s boss, Miss Joy Dube. When it was connected he said, “Hello, Miss Dube. Are you well?” Miss Dube indicated that everything was well with her.Then David asked her to prepare two dresses, shoes and handbags. He indicated that he would send his bodyguard, Graeme, to fetch the clothes. Then they hung up.Immediately, David dialed Graeme Avis’ number and asked him to fetch the clothes at His Own Image Boutique. Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower.At 7 am, he was handsome in a custom-made black suit with a red tie. At that moment, there was a knock on his door. He smiled broadly when he saw his grandfather and said, “Come in, Grandpa.”David led him to the sofa and said, “Good morning, Grandpa. Did you sleep well?” His grandfather beamed and replied, “Good morning, my precious grandson. I slept like a log. Thank you.My precious grandson, you have brought nothing but joy into our lives. Our hearts are full of gratitude to the Lord for

However, she didn’t have a lawyer to represent her.Brian took his phone and dialed Mr Ball’s number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello, Mr Ball. How is Mrs Ball doing?”Mr Ball sighed and replied, “Hello, Mr Chandler. My wife is still in a coma. Thank you for thinking of us. I haven’t found time to look for another lawyer to help my daughter with a bail application yet.”Mr Chandler felt sorry for Mr Ball and said, “Don’t worry about your daughter, Mr Ball. I will represent her in court during the bail application.” Mr Ball thanked Mr Chandler profusely, then they hung up.When the Senior Prosecutor, Doreen Bernie, arrived in her office, she called Prosecutor Amelia Zibi into her office.Senior Prosecutor Bernie looked at Prosecutor Zibi and said, “Today is Miss Sloane Ball’s bail application hearing. She was arrested yesterday for perj
When the Bernie family heard that Doreen’s boyfriend would be visiting them, they were over the moon. They were looking forward to meeting Doreen’s first boyfriend.Doreen told her mother not to tell her siblings her boyfriend’s name because she wanted to surprise them. Her brother, Isaac, brought his wife, Imogen, to meet his brother-in-law. Her sister, Naomi, invited her fiancé, Tristan Scott.At 5:50, a doorbell rang. Isaac walked to the door and opened it. He was dumbfounded when he saw David and said, “Good afternoon, Mr May. Welcome to the Bernie family.” Then he ushered David into the living room.He was carrying luxurious gifts for everyone, from health supplements, jewelry, and boxes of chocolates. Doreen smiled brightly at her boyfriend, then she took the gifts and handed them to her mother.David greeted everyone with respect, then Doreen took his arm and sat on the sofa. Doreen’s parents looked at the outstanding handsome young man smiling from ear to ear. They were satisfi
Naomi was taken aback by her brother’s question and retorted, “Isaac, why are you changing the topic? We are talking about the gifts, not my wedding.You are all ganging up on me because Doreen is dating a wealthy man. You are so shameless.”Her mother touched her hand and said softly, “Sweetheart, it is not your sister’s fault that her boyfriend didn’t give your fiancé a gift. For peace, please leave it alone.”Naomi shook her mother’s hand heavily and replied, “No, Mom. I won’t leave it alone. I want Big Brother to give my fiancé his gift. He doesn’t deserve that luxury watch.”Doreen laughed so loudly but there was no humour in it and asked, “Big sis, were you lying when you told us that Tristan was a doctor?”Naomi froze for a second, then calmed herself down and asked, “What nonsense are you babbling about?”Doreen looked at her parents and replied, “I was not going to involve myself in my sister’s private affairs, but I changed my mind. Today, I learned that Tristan is just a Pha

Gail looked at her husband aggrieved and asked, “Hubby, are we going to let our son marry that homewrecker, Paula Cage?Honey, my heart aches every time I think about my precious daughter-in-law and my first grandson. Michaela was the best thing that ever happened to the Ferguson family.”Hayden pulled his wife in a tight embrace and asked, “Do you want us to go against our parents because of Thorne? Was it not our son’s heart's desire to marry his mistress?Didn’t he force my precious daughter-in-law to abort my first grandson because of her?We have to teach him a lesson that he will never forget. I will ensure that he ends up marrying the love of his life so that he will never hurt other people again.Paula is devious and heartless like my son. They are a match made in heaven.”His wife kissed him passionately and said, “Hubby, he is our only son. We have to protect him from all cost

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.

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
