"Hello, I've done all that you asked me to do. And I'm sure, she believes me this time," a female voice was heard over the phone. "Alright, good job. Owen will send you your balance today!" Linda replied as she hung up on the phone. "Let us see how she reacts to this, this time," she told herself. Within the last week, Amelia had received threatening messages, asking her to leave Dub so she made up her mind to quit her relationship with him. She stopped visiting Dub, picking up his calls, or responding to his text messages. Her meeting with him in the company was strictly formal, and not in any way informal. So Dub had begun to get worried about Amelia's attitude towards him of late. Amelia had just returned from work one Tuesday evening when she saw Owen standing by her doorstep with a bunch of flowers in one hand and a basket full of gifts in the other hand. "Hey, beautiful, you're welcome," Owen said, but Amelia ignored him and walked up to open her door. The last person s
Now that Rodney had been removed as the CEO of Ferex company, to him it was an automatic sack. He wished that Logan had spent a bit longer at the hospital so that he could perfect his plans about Ferex Company. However, he had some sense of satisfaction that his family had some other plans against the Jeff family; therefore, if destroying the company did not work out as he planned, the killing of Donald by Sandra would work out. He envied Donald and couldn't wait to hear that he was dead. His mother always told him and his sister that the Jeff family had so much opportunity to help them, but never did, despite the privileges they had above them; so this was just enough reason for him to hate Donald. Meanwhile, when Sandra returned home later that day when Donald was being admitted to the hospital, she was surprised not to meet him at home. So she asked one of the servants about his whereabouts, and he told her that he went to visit a friend and would soon be back. Mrs Jeff had w
"Let us meet at the usual place. Bring along a hundred packs of the substance while coming this time. The demand is much higher now than it used to be," Owen told someone over the phone. "Alright, Boss. I'll do that," replied the voice at the other end. "Please, don't delay," Owen said as he hung up on the phone. "The deal is sure," Owen told his friend who was sitting on the sofa. As soon as the friend heard that, he burst into laughter out of excitement. He was a young man who was supposed to be in his thirties, but he was looking older because he consumed hard drugs. Owen and the man dealt in hard drugs; that was where Owen made his money from. Although he lied to many that he was involved in the export of goods and they believed him. He rode big cars and had several houses in different cities, and some wondered at the source of his wealth. "I've paid a part payment for that house I talked to you about. It costs a fortune, but I know that it's something that'll be easy to com
Mrs Jeff left the hospital to go home to get some things for Donald. She was yet to recover from the conversation she heard Mrs Yale and Sandra have. "So Betty and Sandra have been trying to kill Donald all this while. What has he done to deserving of death?" Nina thought to herself as she drove home.She remembered how kind Donald talked to her about the Yales and how they received him into their house. She was sure now that all that they then were only camouflage. "How on earth will Sandra want to kill her husband?" Mrs Yale thought to herself. She planned to let her husband know about it before reporting the case to the police. "These people must rot in jail for attempting to kill my son," Mrs Jeff thought to herself as she came down from the car. She was now home, and couldn't wait to tell her husband about the wickedness the Yales have done to them. On her arrival home, she met her husband smiling and watching TV. He was watching a TV program that caught his attention. It w
Dub had been concerned about Amelia. It looked like she had made a resolve not to return to him. He had sent her text messages, called her severally, and even gone to her house to visit her, but it never worked, so he decided to talk to her parents about it. He decided that he was going to tell the Williams and the Coxs. Even though Mr and Mrs Williams were her biological parents, he was determined not to tell them alone but to also tell Mrs Cox, since Amelia grew up with her and she understood her better. He didn't wish to involve his parents in this, but he felt he had no choice. All this while, he had thought that the bond between himself and Amelia was strong and it would be difficult to separate them, but right now, he was no longer sure. He picked up his phone and dialled Mrs Cox's number. "Hello, Mum." "Hey, Dub. It's been such a while. How are you doing?" Mrs Cox asked. "I'm fine, Mum. I called to talk to you about Amelia. I don't think I understand her anymore. Amelia
When Sandra noticed that Donald did not return the next day, she was bothered, so she asked the servant who had told her that Donald had gone to visit a friend, about his whereabouts. "I thought you told me that he went to visit a friend yesterday. Why is he not back yet?" Sandra asked the servant. "None of the servants know where he is right now. That is what he told us, Ma'am," the servant replied. She had tried calling Donald severally the previous night and that morning, but she noticed that his phone had been switched off. "Or could he be dead somewhere? I wish that is it," Sandra thought to herself. While she was still thinking of where Donald was, she heard her phone ring, so she picked it up. It was Mrs Yale. "Hello, Sandra. Where is Donald currently?" Mrs Yale asked. "I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him since I came back yesterday," Sandra said. "I just received a call from his mother, abusing me of our intention to kill him, and threatening that we were goin
Amelia was heartbroken after she heard the conversation between Owen and the lady that he used in achieving his aims. "So it was all a set-up. How I wish I was smart enough to know this?" Amelia told herself feeling very pained. She wished that she had not broken up her relationship with Dub. Dub was loving and caring to her, and now, she felt that he didn't deserve the treatment she gave to him. She broke down in tears when she remembered the way her relationship with Owen started, and how he and his sister deceived her into the relationship. She tried to dial Dub's number severally, but his number was not going through. It was a Saturday and she was not ready to wait till the following week before seeing Dub to apologize to him. He was on leave until Wednesday, so she knew that she wouldn't be able to see him at work until Wednesday. She waited for a while before trying his number again, peradventure it was the network or something, but his number still did not go through. So
Donald was discharged from the hospital and taken home. His servants knew that he was sick but they never knew what the nature of his sickness was, or what caused it. They only saw an ambulance that came to pick him up on that fateful day. They would have told Sandra that he was taken to the hospital if Mrs Jeff had not cautioned them about it. As soon as Donald entered the house, he was heralded by his servants as they greeted and welcomed him back home. He entered the master bedroom and met some of Sandra's clothes lying on the bed. It was obvious that she was around. Looking at Sandra's clothes on the bed stirred up more hatred in his heart against her and he wondered where she was, around the house. It reminded him of the conversation he had with his parents at the hospital and wondered why she was yet to be arrested. He walked out of his room and met one of his servants. "Do you know where Sandra is?" Donald asked. "No, Sir. She went out a few minutes ago," the servant rep
