Michaela was Arrested

Thorne was so angry that he laughed. What was his wife talking about? His beloved Paula was kind-hearted and she couldn’t hurt a fly. The one with a vicious heart was the woman standing in front of him.

Thorne looked at his wife with icy-cold eyes and said sternly, “I don’t need any evidence because I know how vicious your heart is.

I will never forgive you for touching the love of my life. Paula is my bottom line. I will make sure that you get a life sentence. Please pray hard for her not to die, because should she die I don’t know what I will do to you and your family.”

Thorne’s words were like a knife piercing straight into Michaela’s heart. However, she was not surprised because her husband had never shown her any kindness since they got married. She was like a speck of dust in her husband’s eyes.

She wiped her tears and asked, “Mr Ferguson, if one day you find out that you have accused me wrongly, would you apologize to me?” Thorne laughed out loud and replied, “I will never apologize to you, not even in your dreams.”

Michaela was dumbfounded. How could she fall in love with someone like that? It was true that love was blind. They had been married for two years, but she failed to capture his heart. It was clear that she was just warming Miss Cage’s position.

Michaela smiled brightly at her husband and said, “Mr Ferguson, please don’t forget what you have said to me today because I will never forgive you when the truth comes out. I hope you will never regret it.”

Thorne was taken aback by his wife’s words. A strange feeling surged within his heart, and he couldn’t shake it.

Thorne took his phone and called the Chief of Police, Chief Smith. He told him about his beloved Paula Cage, who was fighting for her life.

Thorne indicated that his unwanted wife tried to kill his beloved Paula by pushing her from the third floor. Chief Smith promised to send police officers to arrest Mrs Ferguson. Thorne was satisfied when he heard Chief Smith’s words.

Then he called his best friend and lawyer, Mr Jeff Cliff. He asked him to press charges against his wife for attempted murder. He was ruthless and merciless.

Half an hour later, two police officers approached Michaela Ferguson. They read her rights, and then they handcuffed her. When she arrived at the police station, she was told that she had a right to call one person to post bail for her.

At the Miller Group, President Denzel Miller was in the meeting when his phone started ringing. It was an unknown number, but something told him to answer the phone. He raised his hand, then he excused himself and said, “Hello.”

Michaela replied sobbing, “Daddy, please come to the police station and bail me out. Thorne is accusing me of trying to kill his beloved mistress.” Her father nearly dropped the phone.

He was so shocked when he heard that his beloved daughter had been arrested because of her husband and his mistress. He begged his daughter to leave her toxic marriage to no avail.

Mr Miller couldn’t help feeling heartbroken when he heard his daughter sobbing. He calmed himself down, then he dialed his lawyer’s number with trembling hands.

When it was connected he said, “Mr Blaze, please meet us at the police station. My daughter has been arrested.”

He walked to the conference room and told his managers that the meeting was adjourned. Then he quickened his pace and went to the underground parking lot. He immediately drove his car to his mansion in La Lucia.

When he arrived home, his wife, Gloria Miller, was resting in their bedroom. He took her in his arms and said, “Sweetheart, our daughter has been arrested. Thorne is accusing her of trying to kill his mistress. Let’s go to the police station, my love.”

Mrs Miller nearly fainted with shock. She cried sorrowfully for her daughter’s life. When she heard that Paula was back, she asked her daughter to divorce her husband. Everyone was aware of how much Thorne Ferguson loved his first love.

Thorne had a major depression after Paula turned down his engagement proposal. Michaela dropped everything and nursed him back to life. Then they registered their marriage. However, it was enough for Michaela.

When Michaela was sixteen years old, Thorne saved her from the hooligans who wanted to violate her.

Then Michaela promised him that she would marry only him in this lifetime. Hence, she refused to divorce him when everyone told her to leave her toxic marriage.

On their second anniversary, Michaela signed the divorce papers because she found out that she was pregnant.

Thorne had forced himself on her when his beloved Paula threatened him that she would disappear again should he fail to get a divorce.

That morning, before Michaela went to work, she told her mother about the text message she received from her husband’s mistress.

Her mother had a bad feeling, and she begged her not to meet her husband’s mistress, but she didn’t listen. It was clear to her mother that Paula was up to no good.

Michaela had been tortured by Thorne and his mistress for the past six months. Her husband had brought his mistress to their matrimonial mansion several times. She was treated as a mistress in her own marriage.

The sad part was that the mansion was given to them by her parents as their wedding gift. Thorne treated Michaela like air, and he had never respected her as his wife.

In police custody, Michaela was thinking about the pain her parents would go through should Paula pass away. Thorne would tear the Miller family apart.

If that happened, she would get a life sentence for a crime she didn’t commit. Tears streamed down her face.

She wished she could press the rewind button. She prayed to the Lord for a second chance. She was just twenty years old, and she hadn’t achieved her dreams yet.

Mr Miller and his lawyer, Aaron Blaze, met outside the police station. Mr Miller looked at his lawyer with sadness in his eyes and said, “Mr Blaze, I don’t know the details of the case.

I heard that my daughter received a text message from her husband’s mistress asking to meet with her at Shalom Shopping Mall at 12 pm.”

Mr Blaze comforted Mr Miller and replied, “Let’s not lose hope, Mr Miller. I will go inside to see Michaela and post bail for her.”

Attempted Murder Charges

Mr Aaron Blaze walked to the police station and asked to see his client, Mrs Michaela Ferguson. The police officer escorted him to the interrogation room.

A few minutes later, Michaela walked to the interrogation room and sat opposite her lawyer.

Mr Blaze looked at the woman with a swollen face and asked, “May I help you?” Michaela smiled faintly and replied, “Uncle Aaron, it’s me. Thorne beat me up for touching the love of his life.”

Mr Blaze’s heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. Michaela was like a daughter to him. He had advised her several times to walk away from her toxic marriage, to no avail.

Mr Blaze looked at Michaela and said, “Please tell me what happened.” Michaela told him the whole truth.

Then she said, “Thorne told me the surveillance camera was broken. So, there is no evidence that I didn’t push Paula Cage.”

Mr Blaze promised her that he would do everything to find evidence. He stood up and said, “Let me get you out of here.” Then he left the interrogation room.

When Mr Blaze went to post bail, he was told that Michaela Ferguson had been charged with attempted murder. His client had to appear before the court and apply for bail.

Her mother nearly fainted when she heard that. She asked her husband to go with her to the Ferguson family mansion to beg their son-in-law to forgive their daughter.

At the Ferguson residence in Umhlanga Rocks, Mr Thomas Ferguson was in the garden with his wife, Gladys Ferguson, and his daughter-in-law, Gail Ferguson, chatting and laughing.

At that moment, the intercom bell rang, Butler Snipes smiled broadly when he saw the Miller family. The Ferguson family and the Miller family were very close. Then Butler Snipes opened the gate for them.

He then ushered Mr Denzel Miller and his wife, Gloria Miller, to the living room. He greeted them with respect, then he went to the garden to inform Mr Ferguson senior about the Miller family’s visit.

Mr Ferguson senior and the others went to the living to meet their in-laws. He smiled brightly and said, “What a pleasant surprise, my in-laws. Are you well?”

Mr Miller looked at Mr Ferguson senior with sadness in his eyes and replied, “We have bad news, my in-laws. My son-in-law is accusing my daughter of trying to kill his lover.

This morning, Thorne’s lover sent a message to my daughter asking to meet her at Shalom Shopping Mall at 12 pm. However, Michaela arrived late because we had a board meeting. When she arrived, Miss Cage had already been injured.

It is difficult to prove that Michaela is innocent because someone has tempered with the surveillance camera. We came here to beg my son-in-law to drop the charge against my daughter.”

Mr Ferguson senior was so shocked when he heard that his precious granddaughter-in-law was accused of attempted murder.

He clutched his chest, and then he fainted. He was rushed to the Ferguson Private Hospital.

While they were in the waiting room, Mrs Miller told the Ferguson family that Thorne had forced her daughter to sign the divorce papers.

The Ferguson family was dumbfounded to hear that Thorne had divorced their beloved daughter-in-law. Michaela was the best thing that ever happened to the Ferguson family. However, her husband loathed her to the core.

Mrs Gail Ferguson hated Paula Cage with passion. Her son, Thorne, suffered from severe depression when Paula left him. A surge of anger rose in her heart, her son was an ingrate.

Her beloved daughter-in-law was there for him in his darkest days, she nursed him back to life. However, he had never appreciated her. Thorne had broken her precious daughter-in-law mentally and physically.

Mrs Ferguson took her phone and dialed her husband’s number. When it was connected she said, “Honey, please come to the hospital. Dad has fainted.”

Her husband’s voice was full of concern, and he replied, “I am on my way, Darling.” Then they hung up.

Mr Hayden Ferguson was the Ferguson Group Chairman. He asked his Executive Secretary to cancel all the scheduled meetings, and then he left.

When Mr Ferguson arrived at the hospital, his wife told him everything that Thorne had done. His eyes hardened as he couldn’t control the fury simmering inside him he took his phone and dialed his son’s number.

When it was connected, he said, “Thorne, come to the hospital urgently. Your grandfather has fainted.” Then he hung up.

Fortunately, Thorne was still at the hospital waiting outside his lover’s emergency room. A few minutes later, he walked to the Ferguson family private ward. He didn’t even look at his in-laws.

His father slapped him hard across the face and asked, “Thorne, is it true that you have pressed attempted murder charges against my daughter-in-law?”

Thorne’s expression was solemn, and he replied, “Yes, Dad. Michaela tried to kill Paula.”

His father was so upset that he slapped him again and asked, “Did you see her killing your lover or do you have evidence of my daughter-in-law committing the crime?”

Thorne replied, “I don’t need evidence, Dad. I know how vicious Michaela’s heart is. Dad, please don’t try to change my mind because I will only be satisfied when Michaela is dead. Paula is my life.”

Mr Ferguson was so disappointed in his son and asked, “Where was the love of your life when you nearly committed suicide?

One day you will regret the way you have treated your wife. My daughter-in-law has been nothing but a good wife to you.”

Mrs Ferguson looked at her son with pleading eyes and said, “Son, please drop the charges against my daughter-in-law, she is innocent.

How could you repay kindness with evil? How could you forget that you nearly died because of your so-called love of your life?”

Thorne replied, “Mom, Michaela is no longer your daughter-in-law, we have signed the divorce papers. Please don’t beg me; I will never forgive her for touching my bottom line.

Paula is fighting for her life, Mom. I will ensure that Michaela pays with her life for hurting her. Her whole family will be buried with Paula should she die.”

His mother-in-law cried sorrowfully when she heard her son-in-law’s words. She tried to approach her son-in-law, but her husband stopped her. He saw the look of disdain and disgust in Thorne’s eyes when he looked at them.

Mr Miller was praying in his heart for Paula’s life. Her daughter was not a vindictive person, she was kind-hearted. They had taught her to fear the Lord. Her biggest mistake was falling in love with her heartless and ungrateful husband.

Who Prescribed the Medicine?

Two hours later, Mr Ferguson senior was wheeled to the private ward with Mrs Ferguson senior trailing behind. The Ferguson family and the Miller family followed behind them.

A few minutes later, Dr Spikes walked into the private ward and said, “Mr Ferguson is stable. However, I want to keep him for observation. Please try not to agitate him.

It’s been a while since his heart has acted up. The medication he was taking made a big difference. Who prescribed the medicine for him?”

Mrs Ferguson looked at Dr Spikes and replied, “My daughter-in-law has been taking care of my father-in-law. I am not sure where she found the medication.

I will definitely ask her to refer you to the doctor who has prescribed the medicine.”

Mrs Miller looked at Mrs Ferguson with sadness in her eyes and said, “The medication was produced by Michaela. She is a Cardiologist.

After she married Thorne she stopped practicing medicine because she thought it would affect her relationship with her husband.”

The Ferguson family was dumbfounded. They didn’t know that Michaela had sacrificed so much for their foolish son. They were overwhelmed with bitterness.

Dr Spikes said, “I would like to see your daughter-in-law, Mrs Ferguson. I haven’t seen this medication on the market before. I would like to recommend it to my other patients.”

Thorne furrowed his brows when he heard Dr Spikes’ words. He was reminded of Paula’s attending doctor’s words, saying they had to thank the person who performed first aid to Paula.

It was clear to him that Michaela was vested in medicine. Why did she hide that important information from him?

Dr Spikes looked at the Ferguson family and said, “Please leave. Mr Ferguson needs to rest.” Hayden and his wife, Gail, left the hospital with the Miller family in tow.

Grandma Ferguson held Thorne’s hand, then they walked out of the private ward. She looked at her favourite grandson and said, “My precious grandson, please drop the charges.

My granddaughter-in-law is not a vindictive person. Please do it for me, my precious grandson.”

Thorne shook his Grandma’s hand and replied, “I am sorry, Grandma. I will never forgive Michaela for coming between me and the love of my life.

I was surprised when she agreed to sign the divorce papers. Unbeknownst to me, she was planning to kill Paula. Grandma, Paula is my life. Where did she get the confidence to touch my bottom line?

She had miscalculated when she thought that the mighty Ferguson family would protect her from what was coming to her.

I am going to teach her a lesson that she will never forget. I will make sure that she gets a life sentence. Grandma, every decision has consequences.” Then he left his grandmother standing.

Tears streamed down Grandma Ferguson's face. She was utterly disappointed in her precious grandson. It was clear to her that her precious granddaughter-in-law had fallen into a trap. Someone was playing tricks behind their backs.

Mrs Ferguson senior wiped away the tears, and then she walked to her husband’s private ward. She sat beside her husband’s bed and held his hand. She silently prayed for her granddaughter-in-law and her husband.

Ten hours later, Dr Bond walked to the Cage family. He looked exhausted and said, “Miss Cage was two months pregnant and we couldn’t save the baby.

She had three broken ribs, a broken leg, a broken arm, a ruptured spleen and a fractured skull. Also, her spinal cord has been severely damaged. It is too early to tell if she will be able to walk again.

We discovered that the person who saved her had fed her some pills. Please ask her for a prescription. It will help her to heal quickly.

She is not out of the woods yet. We don’t know if she will ever wake up. It will depend on her willpower.”

Mr Cage senior nearly fainted when he heard the doctor’s words. He staggered backward. His eldest grandson, Samson, held him before he fell.

Thorne couldn’t believe his ears when he heard that Paula was two months pregnant. Why didn’t she tell him? Tears welled in his eyes, but he held them back. How could Michaela kill his unborn son? His heart was overwhelmed with hatred towards his worthless wife.

Mr Cage senior looked at Thorne coldly and said, “Mr Ferguson, please leave. My precious granddaughter is fighting for her life because you failed to respect your wedding vows.

You have failed the young lady who saved my granddaughter’s life, and you have failed my Paula.

You were not supposed to be involved with her while you were still married. I blame you for the pain you have caused my granddaughter. You have brought nothing but pain to the Miller family and the Cage family.”

Even though Paula was spoiled rotten by her family, her grandfather had asked her several times not to interfere in Thorne and Michaela’s marriage, but she never listened.

He didn’t want his precious granddaughter to be labeled as a homewrecker. Society didn’t take kindly to the person who destroyed other people's marriages.

At that moment, Paula was wheeled to the ICU. She had a cast on her arm and leg. Her head had a thick white bandage. Her grandfather’s heart ached when he saw his granddaughter in so much pain. He wished he could switch places with her.

Mr Cage senior looked at Thorne and said, “I don’t want to see you near my granddaughter ever again.” He turned to his bodyguards and said, “Please escort Mr Ferguson out.”

Thorne wasn't surprised when he heard Mr Cage senior's words because his beloved Paula had told him several times that her family was trying to break them up.

He looked at Mr Cage senior for a long time, then he left the hospital with a heavy heart. He vowed in his heart that he would avenge Paula and their unborn son.

If Michaela thought that being in prison would be a walk in the park she should think again. He would ensure that she would be tortured beyond recognition.
