"Who?" a female voice asked lazily from the other end."I saw Donald, your ex. Did you happen to know that he is the son of the giant tycoon Albert Jeff"“Hahaha...No way. You’re kidding me, he is just an average poor commoner" the female voice interrupted with laughter."No, Sandra. I’m serious. He is indeed from a rich home. His birthday is being celebrated in a grand style, and the creme de la creme of the society are all present...""What …. do you mean?" Sandra questioned, her voice shaking obviously. Was she having hearing problems at such a young age?"You won’t believe it, he was announced to soon take over a very large consortium in this city! Didn’t you say he was so poor he couldn’t even afford to buy you a ring?" Rodney roared with suppressed anger, as he hung up on the phone.He had ruined it all just because of a whore!"Can this be true? Rodney is probably drunk," Sandra said to herself. She knew Rodney to always drink anytime he attended a party, and now she wasn't sure if he was drunk."But he didn't sound like he was drunk," Sandra thought to herself, however, she found it hard to believe all that Rodney just told her. She had known Donald for some years now, and she never saw any trace that he was rich, or he belonged to a rich family.Jesus! How on earth could it be?**********The day after his birthday, Donald resumed at Duluth Associates. Most of the staff lined up to welcome him as he walked into the company with his father, Albert. Many greeted his father politely but subconciously ignored him.They could tell that Donald was Albert's son through the striking resemblance, yet they believed that he only accompanied his father to the company; until his father introduced him to the staff as the new CEO."This is the new CEO of Duluth Associates, Mr Donald Jeff. For the time being, he is going to be working part-time in the company," Albert briefly announced before leaving.Since Donald was yet to be done with schooling, he was going to be working at Duluth Associates on a part-time basis. He would be graduating from the University of Chesbil in two months, after which he would fully resume at the company.Before Donald's arrival, someone had been acting as the CEO of Duluth Associates. But now that Donald had clocked the right age to take over, the person was removed elsewhere."Good day, Sir." a young man greeted Donald very cheerfully after he was introduced, offering to help him to carry his bag. It was obvious that he was assigned to assist Donald."Thank you," Donald responded, as the man collected his bag from him. As the two of them walked through the corridor leading to the CEO's office, Donald noticed a name tag on one of the doors which read:"Hank Rodney Yales, COO of Duluth Associates.""I can see that this is the COO's office. Is he around?" Donald asked his new assistant, but he wasn't sure either, so he knocked on the door."Come in. It's not locked," a male voice responded from inside. The assistant pushed open the door for Donald to walk in.Upon seeing the familiar cheater, Donald couldn’t help but snort lightly. What a scene!Rodney, on the other hand, quickly got to his feet and bowed his head. He was the Chief Operating Officer of Duluth Associates, and that meant he would now work under the control of the man he once humiliated.How very embarrassing! How he wished he could travel back in time and smack his old self.When he heard Donald was introduced as the new CEO of Duluth Associates at the birthday party the day before, he had prayed that the "Duluth Associates" referred to was not the headquarters, since there were three other branches of Duluth Associates in the city.But now, it was glaring to Rodney that it was the headquarters of Duluth Associates that Donald would be working at.'Hey rich guy, may I know how you got work here as a COO?"Donald finally questioned, smiling warmly. But to Rodney, it was a devil’s cold smile."Emmm..." Rodney stammered and was not sure of what to say.Rodney was 25 years old, and he had been working with Duluth Associates for the past four years. Before he got employed at Duluth Associates, he had had a tough time getting a job after his previous company went bankrupt.He had applied to several companies, but his application was rejected because of his past record. When he applied to Duluth Associates, he was accepted without much stress of having to prove himself.His dedication and hard work over the years caused him to be promoted. That was how he was able to rise to the level of being the COO at Duluth Associates.Rodney never took his work at Duluth Associates for granted, because he saw the company as his saviour. Now that Donald was going to be his CEO, he felt like he had better resign from the company, but he decided to encourage himself to stay back.Drops of sweat formed on his forehead as he bowed, but he dared not raise his hand to wipe them off. Just as he thought Donald would fire him there and then, to his surprise, the latter left, leaving only another slight snort behind.And only then did Rodney dare to inhale deeply. So he wasn’t going to lose the job, right? Thank God!

After watching the “rich” guy throwing in the towel, Donald entered his office and quickly went through his schedule for the day. Time flew and soon it was time for him to leave. He had to be in school to see his project supervisor later that day, so he decided to get ready to leave. He put some documents into his bag so that he could go through them later on his arrival home. Then he walked out of his office downstairs to where he had parked his newly bought car. He drove out of the company's premises, but after five minutes of driving, he came across Amelia and naturally offered to give her a ride. Within a short while, they arrived at the university and Donald was trying to park his car when he heard a tap on the window. He turned and inevitably raised an eyebrow at seeing who it was. "Hey, Donald. Who owns the car you're driving?" Sandra asked. Donald, however, frowned and ignored her. What was the whore doing here? And it was none of her business whose car he was driving.

Many of his schoolmates envied him, and he was praised for been able to graduate with an award, despite having to jumble menial jobs with study.While he stood to take pictures with his family and friends, he had a voice not too far away. "CEO" the person called. After calling a number of times without any response, the person moved close to tap him on his shoulders, then he whispered: "CEO."

Don't let me hear you speak, or else I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget in a hurry," the man wearing the black shade said. Sandra had planned to kidnap Amelia before that day. She had made necessary findings about where Amelia stayed, then she made up her mind to kidnap Amelia on her way from work.

The driver drove the three of them to a quiet place then he parked. "Look, you're going to be spending at least three days with us in that house," Sandra said, pointing at a small house not far from them. "What? What have I done to deserve this?" Amelia asked in shock. Within the twinkle of an eye, she felt someone pull her ears very painfully. "A

Why didn't you come to pay my Mum a visit to the hospital as you promised? Now, you came to visit me when you found out that she had been discharged. I called you on several occasions, but you didn't pick up your calls, or return them," Donald said."No, you're getting things wrong. I was kidnapped..." "Hahaha...Donald burst into laughter. You're not so good at lying. How would you be kidnapped and come here looking this radiant? Do you think I'm a fool?" Donald asked with a frown on his face. "I'm not lying. You need to listen to me, Donald. You just..." "Call the security men to come and take her out of here," Donald told the servant standing close to the door.Within a short while, the men were around. They quickly held Amelia by the arms and led her out of the house.*********The next day at Dulu

It was a bright Saturday morning, Rick and his wife, Betty, sat down on the balcony of their house to relax. Rick and Betty Yale were Rodney's parents. They used to be very poor until Rodney got a job with Duluth Associates and helped to improve their standard of living. They formerly lived in a very small and unattractive house, until Rodney helped them to rent another house after he got employed at Duluth Associates. "I'm still very angry about Rodney's demotion at work. That boy has been a pillar of support to this family, and just from nowhere, someone comes to spoil our joy by demoting him." Rick said. "Rodney demoted? I need to know that fool demoted him. For what reason was he demoted?" Betty tried to know. Rodney told only his father about his demotion at work, so the mother was yet to know about it."Rodney was told that the company demoted him, but it's only a lie. There's no one behind it, other than his CEO." Rick said. "But why will his CEO want to demote him? He has wo

Donald was surprised to see Sandra in his Mum's room. It appeared like she had been around for a while. Since Sandra got to know that Donald's Mum was just recuperating, she made up her mind to use the opportunity in getting Donald's attention. So she decided to always visit his Mum before the time Donald would return home from work."I'm sure you heard me. What are you doing in my Mum's room?" Donald asked. "Mum, do you know her?" Donald asked, facing his Mum. "I don't need to know her. She has been very nice to me," Nina, Donald's Mum responded. "Now, I'll need you to leave her room at once. You're not welcome here!" Donald yelled. "Son, you don't need to be harsh. She has been kind to me, and doesn't deserve such treatment," Nina pleaded."Did you say kind, Mum? The young lady here does not understand what it means to be kind. I'm sure she has an ulterior motive for coming here. The only language she understands is money..." "Enough! Enough son! You can go ahead and send her away

"I'm supposed to resume work here today. That's why you're seeing me here," Amelia explained. "Wow...that sounds so interesting. It means you applied for a job here...oh, I see. You're the same Amelia Cox who is to resume as my assistant today. Right?" Dub asked. "Yes, I am," Amelia responded.Oh, that's okay. Go over to the secretary's office and she'll give you a file that contains all you need to know about being my assistant," Dub said, then he varnished out of Amelia's sight."Emmm..." Amelia wanted to say something until she noticed that Dub had varnished out of her sight. "He didn't even wait to hear what I would say next," Amelia said to herself, as she walked towards the Secretary's office. After she had collected the file Dub asked her to collect, she was directed to her office.Just when she was about to settle to do some work, she heard the telephone on her table ring, so she picked it up.

Over time, Mrs Jeff had talked to Donald about Sandra, and Sandra also made it a duty to visit Donald's house at least thrice a week. Nina had made up her mind not to return to her house until she sees Donald and Sandra date each other again.Donald was now used to seeing Sandra at his house almost every day. At a point, he had ordered his security men never to allow her in, but his Mum had stopped all that, saying that Donald was hurting her badly by doing that. Because Donald loved his Mum dearly and didn't want to offend her, he resolved to obey her and let Sandra in any time she came around visiting.As usual, Sandra was around this very day when Donald returned from work. On seeing her, he frowned and walked through the sitting room, about to climb the stairs when he felt someone grab his wrist."I'm sorry, Donald. Why don't you give me another chance?

AMELIA'S IMPACT
One evening, as Amelia and Suzy sat in the Williams living room, sipping tea, Suzy opened up about her doubts regarding Scott, her suitor."Amelia," she began hesitantly, "I'm just not sure about Scott. He's so different from the guys I usually date. He's quiet and reserved... I don't know if he's the right fit for me."Amelia listened carefully, her heart going out to her sister. She could see the uncertainty in Suzy's eyes, but she also saw the love that shone through when Suzy spoke about Scott."Suzy," Amelia said gently, "sometimes, we have to look beyond the surface to see the beauty within. Scott may be quiet, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care deeply for you. Within the little time I've seen him here, I've noticed the way he looks at you when he thinks no one's watching. It's a look of pure adoration."Suzy sighed, torn between her feelings for Scott and her uncertainty. "I guess I just need some reassurance. I want to be sure that he's as committed to this relationship as

She dialled Amelia's number, her fingers trembling with anticipation. After a few rings, Amelia's warm voice filled the line. "Hello?" "Amelia, it's Suzy," Suzy began hesitantly. "I was wondering if you and your baby would like to come over to our place today. Mom and I have something we'd like to talk to you about." Amelia, surprised by the invitation, agreed. She had hoped for reconciliation with her family and was eager to see if this was the beginning of a fresh start. "Sure, Suzy. We'd love to come over. What time should we be there?"

On a crisp, early morning, the sun had just begun its ascent, casting a gentle golden hue across the city. Albert was preparing to leave for work. He meticulously straightened his tie, checked his reflection in the hallway mirror, and grabbed his briefcase.As he stepped out of his front door, the cool morning air greeted him. He started down the path toward his car, parked at the curb.The familiar routine of his daily commute was etched into his subconscious, and he moved with a sense of purpose. But as he reached the car door, a sudden, sharp voice cut through the calm morning air."Albert Dallas, freeze! Put your hands up!"Albert's heart skipped a beat as he turned to see several police officers, their badges glinting in the morning light, guns drawn and pointed at him. Panic surged through him as he raised his hands in compliance, his briefcase slipping from his grip and landing on the pavement with a thud.The neighbours, drawn by the commotion, peered through curtains and from
