Grace Anthony was not happy that her husband, Timothy Anthony, was trying to reconcile with his late wife’s son, Mark Anthony, so she called her son Jonathan to come back home.She was scared that her husband would give her son’s inheritance to Mark. Over her dead body, Mark would never get a cent. Her precious son, Jonathan Anthony, was 24 years old, two years younger than Mark.Jonathan was not an ambitious person, he refused to go to university, and he never worked in his life. When his mother called, he was enjoying himself with his friends in his boat, drinking with beautiful ladies.His mother told him that she had something to tell him, so he rushed home. “Jonathan, you need to change your ways, your father is trying to reconcile with Mark,” said his mother.Jonathan shrugged his shoulders, “Mom, why do you worry about Mark? He is not interested in us. Mom, when you called me, I thought you wanted to tell me that you had bought me an apartment. I am tired of staying with you gu

On Saturday morning, Mark went to the Anthony mansion. He went early to discuss the betrothal gifts with his father. The Housekeeper opened the gate for him. His father was waiting for him in the living room.“Good morning dad” said Mark, smiling. “Good morning son,” said his father beaming and hugged his son. It felt like a dream, he was over the moon. He never thought that this day would come.He went to the kitchen to prepare tea for his son. He didn’t even ask the helper. He owed his son Mark a lot. He came back with two cups of tea on a tray. Mark thanked his father and took a sip.“How much did you prepare, son?” asked his father smiling. “Dad, I prepared a cheque of one hundred million rand. I am not sure if it is enough. Also, I bought health supplements for my father-in-law. Victoria is priceless, she is my life dad.”His father also prepared a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime watch, towels, and expensive wines for Mr Lewis.At that moment, Grace entered the living room and s

Mark arrived at the Lewis residence at 7 am. He parked his car outside the gate. He was so nervous. What if Victoria changed her mind and refused to marry him?

To his surprise, Victoria was already dressed.She was wearing a long silhouette lace trumpet dress with long sleeves, and white high heels. The dress showcased her figure, she was breathtaking, Mark was dazed, his wife was gorgeous. He rushed to her and took her in his arms.He kissed her forehead, “you look gorgeous my wife.” Victoria giggled, “you looked dashing my husband, have you eaten?” Mark shook his head, “I don’t have an appetite, I’m too nervous.”Victoria asked Butler Dave to prepare breakfast for them; it was ready within few minutes. After they ate, they went to Home Affairs. When they arrived, it was empty. The procedure went very quickly.

Patrick was surprised, he went to fetch him.They greeted each other; Patrick took him to his office and sat on the sofa. Patrick asked his assistant, George Gale, to prepare tea for them. After a few minutes, he came back with two cups of tea on a tray.Patrick told George to take the rest of the day. George was happy, he thanked Mr Lewis and left. Patrick smiled at Timothy, “What a nice surprise, I didn’t expect to see you this early. Is your family coming?”Timothy looked at him with sad eyes, “My wife and my son told me that they have other commitments.”Victoria had an appointment with her father to discuss the progress of the project; she was surprised to see her father-in-law in her father’s office. “Good day dad, I didn’t know that you were here,” said Victoria smiling.Her father-in-law beamed at her, “I was not concentrat

He had a cold, his head was throbbing, and his body was heating up. “What is wrong James?” asked Serene. “I think I have a fever; my body is heating up.”After the engagement banquet, Mr Johnson moved Butler Ed to their apartment. Serene quickly called Butler Ed and instructed him to call the family doctor. Dr Michael checked James.
