Just when Vera was about to open the door, she turned and asked the doctor: "Can I donate my kidney?" "Sure...you can," the doctor replied as he looked at her wondering if she was sure about what she just said. "Miss...Vera, are you serious about donating your kidney?" The Doctor tried to confirm."Sure Doctor, I am. Asides from being a boss, Mr Donald Jeff is my friend, and I can't watch him continue to remain in this critical condition. So, I'll do it," Vera said nodding her head. "Okay, we'll need to conduct some tests on you. We will need your blood and urine test results, a chest X-ray and an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). And, all these will determine if you are eligible to donate a kidney," the doctor said. "Alright, Doc. Can the tests be done on me, right away?" Vera asked. The doctor looked at Vera in surprise wondering at her willingness. It was rare to find such, especially when it involved donating a kidney. "Errm...yeah, Miss Vera. You'll only need to wait at the re
Now, Linda knew that Dub believed her story about Amelia's rape. Dub remembered that there was a time Amelia tried to tell him something but she held back her words. He tried to make her talk but she refused to, so he began to suspect that it was the rape Amelia wanted to talk to him about, but she didn't have the courage to. Linda had done everything possible to make Dub believe her. One of the things Linda told Dub was that she was Amelia's bosom friend, and Amelia confided in her many times, telling her things that she found difficult to tell anyone else. Amelia tried to get across to Dub on different occasions, but she noticed that Dub was very cold towards her. So she decided to tell one of Dub's closest friends about the issue. It was Jones, Dub's childhood friend. Before the breakup, Amelia noticed how close Dub and Jones were and how they interacted very freely with each other, so she decided to confide in Jones. Jones knew Amelia to be Dub's girlfriend, so as soon as he n
Since Donald resumed back to work, he had his eyes on Vera. He seemed to have developed some feelings for her now, so he tried as much as he could to get her attention. It was the close of work at Albert Jeff Automobiles one Tuesday afternoon. As Donald walked to where he had parked his car, he saw Vera standing and talking with a friend a short distance away from where he had parked his car. He had always wanted to see Vera, but it looked like she was avoiding him. So he felt it would be an opportunity to see her now. He decided to sit in his car and wait until Vera was done talking with her friend. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw that Vera was done speaking with her colleague, so he walked up to her. "Hey, Vera. It's so good to see you again. It's funny that we've not been able to see and talk to each other for weeks now, because we've been so engrossed with work," Donald said. "Yes, you're right. Everyone has been very busy with work," Vera replied. "So can we go out
"Do you have a visitor in your house?" Jones asked as soon as he walked in. "Errrm...yes," Dub replied. "Please, take your seat," he said immediately, not waiting to hear what Jones would say next. "Thank you," Jones replied as he sat down. Within the twinkle of an eye, one of the servants walked up to Jones with a tray of snacks and drinks in his hands. "Thank you," Jones responded as the servant placed the tray on the stool beside him. While the both of them sat down, Linda walked out of one of the rooms, scantily dressed. "Hi," she greeted as soon as she saw Jones. "Hi," Jones responded as he watched her go into the kitchen. "Who is she?" Jones asked Dub looking surprised. He was more surprised to see her come out of one of the rooms. "She's just a friend," Dub answered evasively. "Really?" Jones looked at his friend in surprise. He was still surprised to see Linda come out of his room. He knew Dub had a room downstairs and that particular room Linda walked out of, was Dub'
Vera was in her sitting room one Friday afternoon when she heard her phone ring. She went to pick it up from the table where it was lying beside her but when she noticed the person who was calling, she dropped the phone back on the table. The phone continued to ring severally, but she refused to pick up the call. It was Bogart her ex-boyfriend who was calling; the same boyfriend who slapped her face by the roadside the other day when Donald saw them. Bogart had been trying to get back to Vera for a while now, but Vera had not been responding to his calls, so this made him very vexed with her. "This lady is an idiot!" Bogart said to himself as he began to dial another number on his phone. Within a short while, the phone was picked up at the other end. "Hello, Kyle. Do you know that that fool, Vera has not stopped avoiding me? I've tried everything possible to draw her attention and to make her come back to me, but she has refused to. I've been calling her for a while now, but she
Amelia left Dub's house feeling very disappointed in him. All this while, she never knew that something was going on between him and Linda. This time around, it was evident to her and she felt so convinced about their relationship. "No wonder he lied that he heard that I was raped. He only used that as an excuse to leave the relationship." Amelia thought to herself. She was also disappointed in Linda. Now, it seemed like Linda was the cause of all her relationship misfortunes. She was the one who persuaded her to go into a relationship with Owen, and now she's trying to scatter her relationship with Dub. She sat down on the couch in her sitting room as tears rolled down her cheeks. While she was still crying and thinking about what she had seen, she heard the sound of the doorbell. She wondered who was at the door, as she quickly wiped her tears and reluctantly walked up to the door to open it. When she opened the door, she found out that it was Dub. She hissed at him and returned
The next day at Kelfort Companies Inc., Donald was absent from work due to the severe injury caused by the hoodlums Bogart sent to attack him the previous day. The staff was informed of his condition and learned that he was currently receiving medical care at the hospital. When Vera got to know about this, she decided to go and visit him at the hospital where he was admitted. Now, she seemed to be concerned about Donald compared to before, especially since the time she donated one of her kidneys to him. She managed to wait till the close of work on that fateful day to go and see him at the hospital.On arrival at the hospital, she introduced herself to the Nurse on duty as one of his colleagues at work, and after waiting a while at the reception, she was allowed to go in and see him. "Hi," Vera greeted as she walked into the ward Donald was. Donald was awake, but he managed to widen his eyes. His eyes were swollen on the two sides; his head was bandaged, and there were wounds all

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
One sunny Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Williams and Suzy decided it was time to extend an olive branch to Amelia. They had been reflecting on their past judgments and treatment of her and felt a deep sense of remorse. They realized that Amelia had transformed into a remarkable woman and deserved their love and support. Suzy was the one who picked up the phone to make the call. 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?" Suzy quickly arranged a time, and they hung up. She then turned to her mo
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
Amelia sat on her bed this morning, As the first rays of sunlight pierced through her living room window, she felt something she hadn't expected - sharp cramps in her tummy.At first, she dismissed the discomfort as nothing more than indigestion from last night's dinner. But as the minutes passed, the pain intensified, and she realized that this was something different. Something significant.Amelia tried to stand up, but the pain was too much. She knew she needed help. With trembling hands, she reached for her phone and dialled the number of her next-door neighbour, Mrs Johnson.Mrs. Johnson had always been a kind and caring woman, and Amelia hoped she would be able to assist her in this moment of need."Hello, Amelia?" Mrs. Johnson's voice came through the phone, filled with concern."Mrs. Johnson," Amelia managed to say between breaths, "I'm in a lot of pain. I need your help. Can you come over?"Without hesitation, Mrs. Johnson assured her that she'd be right there. In a matter of
The day was bright and sunny when Vera was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital.

But when she turned her head and her eyes met the figure standing in the doorway, her world seemed to stand still.It was Donald!Vera's eyes widened in shock, and she felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Dona
One crisp, sunny weekend, Dub stood nervously in front of Amelia's house. He had spent countless nights rehearsing the words he wanted to say, but now that he was here, facing her, his heart was pounding like a drum. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.Amelia, who had been in the living room reading a book, heard the knock and set her book aside. She opened the door and was taken aback to see Dub standing there. "Dub?" Amelia's voice wavered with surprise.Dub cleared his throat, his nerves getting the best of him. "Amelia, can we talk? Please."Amelia hesitated for a moment before stepping aside to let him in. She couldn't deny that she was surprised to see him at her house. This was his first time visiting her since he started working at Malipine Group.Seeing him at her house brought back a rush of memories, both good and bad.
