Linda was sitting at her desk, scrolling through Dub's Instagram profile. She sighed as she saw a picture of him and Amelia, his girlfriend, together. She turned to her friend, Jasmine, who was sitting next to her."I don't understand why Dub is still with Amelia, despite all that happened on the wedding day. I don't think I can just continue to sit and watch," said Linda. I could imagine how I would feel if I and Dub were together. We have so much in common," she continued."Linda, you just have to be patient till we make this happen. I'll make sure that Dub falls in love with you at the end," Jasmine replied. "But I can't just sit here and do nothing. I have to do something to get his attention, even though I know you're also working to help me." Linda said."So tell me; what are you thinking?" Jasmine asked. "Errm...I don't know. I just think that maybe I can stalk him and send him pictures of myself every day, and also pictures of himself." Linda said."Wow! You're such a smart

He had been thinking about Vera all day, wondering where she could be and why she had not called him. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He decided to call Cecil, Vera's friend, and see if she could help him get in touch with Vera.Donald dialled Cecil's number and waited anxiously for her to pick up. After a few rings, she finally answered."Hello?" Cecil said."Cecil, it's Donald," he said, trying to sound confident."Donald? Oh, hi. How are you doing?" Cecil asked, sounding surprised."I'm doing okay. Listen, I need your help. I've been trying to get in touch with Vera, but I can't reach her. Do you know where she is?"
Dub felt very desperate to leave Linda's room, even though it was late in the night, so he kept on pacing back and forth. "You should stay the night," Linda said, pouting. "We can watch a movie or something.""Let me have the keys and get out of this room," Dub said as he stared at her in anger."Come on, it'll be fun," Linda said, putting her arm around him.Linda wasn't having it. She kept insisting that he stay and wouldn't take no for an answer."I need to go!" Dub said, starting to feel uncomfortable."No, you can't leave," Linda said, blocking the door. "I don't want you to go."As the night wore on, Dub started to feel increasingly uncomfortable. He didn't like feeling trapped or controlled by someone else.

"You're not going anywhere," Linda said, her voice getting louder.Desperate, Dub started to try to force the door open. He was willing to do anything to get out of there. Linda noticed the
Rodney Yale paced back and forth in his office, his hands trembling with anger and disbelief. He had just received news that the board of directors had decided to remove him as the CEO of Ferex Company.He couldn't believe it. He had worked for the company for over five years, and this was the thanks he got.Feeling defeated, he picked up his phone and called his parents, Mr and Mrs Yale. "Mom, Dad, I don't know what to do. I've been sacked from my job," he said, his voice shaking with emotion."Oh, Rodney. We're so sorry to hear that," his mother said sympathetically. "What happened?""The board of directors said that my leadership had not led to the growth of the company, but had caused a regress," Rodney explained."That's terrible, son. We're here for you, and we'll do whatever we can to help," his father said, trying to reassure him.Rodney appreciated their words, but he couldn't shake the feeling of failure. "I don't know what to do now. I need to find another job, but the job
Vera sat in her room, staring at her phone. She had been thinking about Donald's request to be in a relationship with her for the past week. He had been sending her text messages, assuring her that he was serious about taking their relationship to the next level. Vera had always liked Donald, but she was hesitant to get involved with him.Nurse Dora, Vera's friend, had been encouraging her to give Donald a chance. "He cares about you," Dora had said. "He went to the extent of faking an illness just to spend time with you. That's how much he loves you."Vera couldn't deny that Donald's actions had shown love, but she was still unsure. She had been hurt in the past, and she didn't want to get hurt again. She didn't want to put her heart on the line, only to have it broken.But as she sat there, staring at her phone, she began to think about what Nurse Dora had said. Maybe she was being too cautious. Maybe she should give Donald a chance.Donald had been waiting anxiously for Vera's res
Jasmine was sitting in her living room, staring blankly at the TV when Martins called her."Hey, Jasmine. What's up?" Martins asked.Jasmine sighed. "Nothing much. Just trying to come up with another way to get rid of Dub."Martins sounded intrigued. "Do you have an idea?"Jasmine hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Well, I was thinking, what if we used Lori to blackmail Dub?""Lori?" Martins asked. "What do you mean?"Jasmine explained her plan to Martins. Lori was a member of their gang, and she had a history of getting into trouble. They would arrange for Lori to approach Amelia and tell her that Dub had raped and disciplined her. Lori would have evidence to back up her claim, and she would even go to the police to report the incident. If Amelia believed Lori's story, she would break things off with Dub, and he would be out of their lives for good.Martins was silent for a moment before speaking. "Jasmine, that's dangerous. We could get into serious trouble if we go through wi
Rodney Yale was feeling a mix of emotions as he watched Lisa and her team pack up his collection of antique art. On the one hand, he was relieved that he had made a sale and that his business was still thriving. On the other hand, he was disappointed that he had just sold something to his sworn enemy, Donald Jeff.As Lisa and her team were leaving, Rodney decided to make a bold move. He walked up to Lisa and said, "Wait a minute, Lisa. Before you go, I have something I want to give to Mr Donald Jeff, your CEO."Lisa looked surprised but curious. "What is it?" she asked.Rodney walked over to his store display and took out an expensive antique vase. "This is one of the most prized possessions in my store," he said. "It's a Ming Dynasty vase that I acquired during my last trip to China. I want to give it to him as a gesture of goodwill. Tell him that I appreciate his patronage," Rodney said. He intended to get Donald's attention. Lisa looked sceptical. "Are you sure about this, Mr R
Amelia had been devastated by the news of Dub's arrest. She had loved him deeply, and the accusations against him had shattered her world. She couldn't bear to think about what he had done, and the thought of him being locked away in prison made her feel sick to her stomach.As she sat alone in her apartment, she felt a sense of emptiness wash over her. Everything felt bleak and hopeless, and she didn't know how to go on without Dub. She had lost the love of her life, and she couldn't imagine ever finding happiness again.It was at that moment that she heard a knock on the door, so she walked towards the door to open it.
