"Rodney is doing very great. I came into Donlow to see a friend. I've stayed in her house for a while now, but just yesterday, she told me about today's party," Melissa explained. "And who is that friend who invited you?" Amelia asked. "She is Debbie by name; she works at Kelfort Companies Inc," Melissa said. "Oh, I know her. She's my colleague at work. I work at Kelfort too," Amelia disclosed. "You have such a large circle of friends. This place is so filled up with guests. I'm sure they must be making your day," Melissa said."Well, maybe," Amelia responded coldly as she remembered Donald. In the last four years of her life, she had not had any birthday without him being present at her house. So she felt her birthdays were incomplete without him. Even though she never celebrated her birthdays, Donald always came to visit her with a gift to make the day a memorable one; but this time, he was not around. "You responded very coldly. Are you alright?" Melissa asked. "Yes, I'm fine.
"No, don't bother yourself about Melissa. That young man, Donald and his family, are enemies to this family, and we will do everything possible to get back at them. Donald is set to die this night, and there's nothing that can be done about that," Betty said as she was about to hang up on the phone. When Melissa sensed that her mother was about to hang up on the phone, she quickly spoke: "Mum, please don't hang up. Can I speak with Dad?" "Of course, yes. Let me hand over the phone to him," Betty said as she quickly handed over the phone to her husband. "Hello, Dad. I'm so much in support of you killing Donald but I want him to be killed in my sight," Melissa said. "What do you mean by that?" Rick asked in anticipation of what Melissa had to say. I want to see his blood flow before my eyes. I know Donald so well; he has committed a lot of atrocities. I can't start to mention the number of things Donald has done to people around me, and it's really painful. I just want to see that
Rodney was happy that Donald was yet to be released, so he connived with the head of the finance department at Duluth Associates to get some more documents apart from the proof of ownership which he already had.He forged Donald's signature on different documents, which were used in getting a loan on behalf of the company. The loan amount was in millions.As soon as the loan was granted, he divided the amount amongst himself and the Head of the finance department, while he kept a huge part of his share in one of his major accounts.Rodney felt like resigning from Duluth Associates because he felt that he had made just enough money, but he later made up his mind to stay."I won't leave here until I see the end of this company," Rodney thought to himself.Even though he knew that Donald would soon be killed, he was not ready to leave Duluth Associates.His father had also compelled him to remain there. "It's either you become the CEO of Duluth Associates, or you end up destroying that t
"I am Melissa Yale, a childhood friend of Amelia Cox. She told me that you were missing, so I decided to go out of my way to find you, without her knowledge, " Melissa said. She was not ready to disclose details about how she knew about Donald's kidnap and location. She knew that she would implicate her family by saying that. "Hmmm...that's very nice of you. I heard you mention Amelia Cox. Is it the same Amelia Cox I know?" Donald asked Melissa in surprise. "Yes, it is," Melissa replied. "Wow, so you went out of your way to find me because you heard that I was missing. Thank you so much, Melissa. I don't know what to do to pay you for your kindness, but I'll do all I can to show that I appreciate you," Donald said. "It's my pleasure, Donald," Melissa replied. "I'll like to return home today," Donald said as he stood up from his seat to leave. "Are you serious about what you're saying? You're currently in Santes town, and Santes town is far away from Parker city. It would take at l
Amelia resumed at Kelfort Companies Inc. this very morning. Many of her colleagues greeted her about the birthday party she organised the previous day. "I hope you were able to have enough rest yesterday?" One of her colleagues asked her. "Oh, yes. I did," Amelia replied smiling. Those colleagues of hers who weren't able to attend the party apologized for being absent, while some gave her a gift. "Thank you so much," Amelia appreciated them as she collected their gifts. She walked into her office to begin the day's work when she heard her telephone ring. "Come over to my office, at once," the male voice said as he hung up on the phone. Amelia quickly dropped what she was doing to answer. She walked out of her office to the next office. Then she knocked on the door and was allowed to go in. "Good day," Amelia greeted. "And what's the meaning of this?" Dub asked as he showed her a document in his hands. Amelia collected the document from him to look at what he was trying to indicat
Out of the loan Rodney had received, he sent a quarter of the money to his Dad telling him that it was the larger percentage. His Dad believed him and received the money happy and satisfied. It was a Wednesday afternoon, and Rick told Rodney to come and see him later that evening. He was discussing with his wife in the sitting room about what step they would take concerning Duluth Associates when an argument ensued between the both of them. "I don't agree with you, Rick. Now that Donald is dead, can't anything be done to sell off the company? Don't see this as an impossible feat to achieve. If we sell off the company, we'll be getting some tangible money, you know?" Betty told her husband. "Don't you get it? That's not possible. It's not in our power to sell off the company. It's a corporate organization and things don't work in such a manner. We received the company's documents intending to get a loan in the company's name. And Rodney claims that he was only able to get that lo
Sandra was reluctant to tell her Mum about her marriage to Rodney because her Mum had given her a preference for the kind of man she wanted her to be married to. Her Mum had told her on several occasions: "Make sure you get married to a rich man who is also from a rich family because I won't endorse anyone who is not." Stephanie knew that her Mum was a woman of her word, so she decided not to tell her about Rodney. Her Mum had earlier told her that she had some inheritance to transfer to her only if she got married to a billionaire family who had investments within and outside Parker city. Mrs Jenkins was not ready to transfer any family inheritance to a man who would mess it up. She always believed that if a man became rich along the way, and wasn't born into a wealthy home, he would end up misbehaving because of his new status. For weeks, Stephanie had tried to reach her mother, but she never picked up her phone calls, so she waited for her mother to return from her trip. Her m
Amelia resumed at Kelfort Companies Inc. on a fateful Tuesday morning. She had been actively involved in supervising a project put in her care, and now the project was completed. While she resumed work that morning, about to climb the stairs to her office, she noticed someone call her name from behind so she stopped to look in the direction of who was calling her. "Hey, Miss Amelia, congratulations on the just-concluded project. Everyone is talking about you, and Kelfort is so proud of your achievement," the man said. "Thank you very much," Amelia replied as she walked towards her office. Not too long, Dub called her to his office. "The entire staff of Kelfort is so proud of you. Thank you for the efforts you put into making that project a reality, "Dub said. "Thank you," Amelia replied, and then she walked towards the door to leave Dub's office. It was close to the end of the year, and an annual party was usually organized for the staff of Kelfort Company. The party was to take p
