Michaela was sitting on the balcony with a novel in her hands, mesmerized by the sun's setting. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The sky was painted in soft pinks and purples like a masterpiece.The following day was her betrothal gift ceremony. When she thought about a certain someone, a faint smile appeared on her stunning face.Michaela was reminded of the day she first met Storm Saxon. He took her breath away.

Gloria sat on the sofa in the guest room holding Stella’s hand. She looked at her with worried eyes and asked, “Stella, did Thorne harass you after we left?”Stella shook her head and replied, “No, Madam. Since his mistress was still alive, there was no need for him to harass us.However, on the day when Michaela was released from prison, Thorne came to our home looking for Michaela. He indicated that he wanted to ask for forgiveness.”Gloria smiled at Stella and said, “Stella, please don’t call me ‘Madam’ anymore. You are no longer my family nanny.”Stella shook her head and replied, “In my heart, you will always be my madam. If you hadn't given me a helping hand when I was abandoned by my husband’s family, I don’t think my daughter and I would still be alive today.For that, I will forever be grateful to you and your family.” After Stella’s husband passed away due to illness, she discovered that her husband had left the Life insurance policy, investment policies, and their house to h

My daughter in love has put a smile on the whole family and, for that, I am grateful.My Michaela is the best thing that ever happened in my family. We have to start preparing for our children’s wedding, my in-law. It is long overdue.”Gloria was so happy when she heard Judy’s words and replied, “Our children loved each other so dearly.

I never thought I would be able to laugh again.I love you so much, my Storm. I believe that one day the Lord will bless us with children. I promise to give you a soccer team. I cannot wait to hold them in my arms.”Storm smiled gently and replied, “I can’t describe the love I have for you, my wife. Feel free to hold me in your arms any time.” Michaela giggled and hugged her husband tightly.The following morning, Michaela accompanied her husband to breakfast. They greeted the elders with respect, and then Michaela walked to her mother-in-law.Her mother-in-law smiled at her and said, “You don’t have to wake up so early, my daughter in love.”Michaela smiled brightly and replied, “Mom, when I was in prison, the prison wardens used to wake us up at 5:30. So, I have been struggling to sleep after half past five.”Her mother-in-law’s heart ached when
Mrs Carter looked at her daughter for a long time and said, “I am so disappointed in you, Sybil. Your cousin has been nothing but kind to you. Is that how you repay his kindness by sabotaging his company? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?In your own opinion, do you think Ashley is superior to Amanda? I am sorry to burst your bubble. Amanda is superior to Ashley in every aspect. You have snatched all Amanda’s resources for Ashley, but she has never won even a novice award.I don’t understand why you are sabotaging your cousin’s company for someone like Ashley who lacks talent. To tell you the truth, I think you are hiding something from us. Why don’t you tell us the reason behind supporting someone like Ashley, Sybil?”Sybil was dumbfounded. She looked at her mother and replied, “I am not hiding anything from you, Mommy. Ashley used to be my deskmate in high school. Hence, I am so fond of her.”Tyler looked at his cousin strangely. Sybil was lying through her teeth. Ashley had

I believe that you will find a good woman for me.”His mother laughed out loud and replied, “If I am not mistaken, that girl from the Barnes family has been chasing you since high school. Why don’t you give her a chance?”Tyler shook his head and replied, “I don’t love Ashley, Mom. She is too pretentious. Sometimes I kicked myself for not pursuing Michaela when I first met her. When I approached her she was already married to Thorne.Because of his mistress, Thorne failed to treat Michaela as a treasure. It is clear to me that she was just a substitute.”His mother p
At Durban Correctional Service, the prison warden approached Sloane and June with a somber expression and said, “Please change into your normal clothes. We are going to church.”June had a confused expression and asked, “Why are we attending the church outside of prison? Did something happen to our family?”For the past five years, she had been in prison she had never gone out of prison to attend church service outside.The prison warden shook his head and replied, “I don’t know the reason. I received the instruction from Commissioner May to take you to church. Please stop asking questions. We have to leave in ten minutes. Hurry up.”The feeling of uneasiness overwhelmed June and Sloane.

I love you wholeheartedly.Sweetheart, I apologize for my mother’s behaviour. Please forgive me. I will sever ties with them.

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.

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.

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, “
