"Errrmm...We can always get a kidney donor," Mr Jeff replied to his wife. "Then... argh...what about you? I think you're healthier than me, and being his parent makes it easier. Why don't we try this, dear?" Mrs Jeff asked her husband. "Errrm...arrh..." Mr Jeff wasn't sure of what to say. He wasn't ready to tell his wife directly that he wasn't ready to donate his kidney. He had heard of what it means to donate a kidney, and how kidney donors needed to be more careful in their lifestyles about what they eat and drink after donating a kidney. Now, he was confused about what to do. He knew that if he told his wife that he wasn't ready to donate his kidney, she would term him to be wicked. She was a very compassionate person, and she didn't mind going out of her way to help someone, even if it was to her disadvantage sometimes. He was sure that she would have loved to donate her kidney, if not for the state of her health. She had never had sound health in the last year; she was only
"Let me in, Dub," Linda said. Dub looked at her and opened the door wider for her to come in. "Now, tell me why you're here. Don't you care if my girlfriend is around?" Dub asked looking at Linda with a frown. Linda chuckled. "Do you think I would have come here if she was around?" I'm sure she's not around; that's why I'm here," she said, smiling at Dub as she went to sit on one of the sofas. The house was very quiet and Dub's servant was not close by, so he was not sure of what to do. He felt like calling Amelia and telling her that Linda was in his house, or doing something that would make her leave, but he felt handicapped. He stood staring at her for a while as if to throw her out, but he knew deep in his heart that he was tempted by her. She looked very seductive in the outfit that she wore. And almost immediately, he remembered the nudes she had sent to him. He tried to get the dirty thoughts off his mind, but he found it very difficult. He loved Amelia and did not want to
The hospital was yet to find a kidney donor for Donald. He was still on the waiting list and was in critical condition right now. Mr and Mrs Jeff had made several attempts just to get him a donor. His family and loved ones visited him at the hospital and showed him love and care, but no one seemed to be ready to donate his or her kidney for Donald. Back at Albert Jeff Automobiles, some of the staff discussed Donald's critical condition, and how they missed him. It was close of work at the company, and most of the staff were tidying up their desk to go home. "Do you know about the GM's current state of health? I wonder when he'll be resuming back to work," said Cecil, one of Vera's colleagues. "Well, I don't know. I just hope he gets back soon," Vera replied. "Same here. He's so hardworking, and he relates well with everyone. Since his absence from work, the company has felt it one way or the other. He's a unique leader," Cecil said."Well," Vera said as she picked up her bag to le
"Oh, no. I can't believe this," Dub said to himself as Linda walked out of his house. She had just told him that Amelia was raped.When Amelia returned from her trip, she tried to visit Dub at his house. She pressed the doorbell severally, but Dub refused to open the door, so she assumed that he wasn't around. She tried calling his number, but he refused to pick it up. It was Sunday, so she decided that she was going to see Dub at the office the next day. At the office the next day, Dub acted very coldly towards Amelia, while Amelia wondered what was wrong. A night before, she had called him to get some information from him, but he wasn't picking up his calls. Now that he acted very cold towards her in the office, she was sure that something was wrong with him, but she kept back from bringing up the issue during working hours. She waited until it was closing time at work to see Dub. She went to wait in front of his car and watched him come out of the company premises, and not too
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'
In the dimly lit courtroom, the judge pronounced Frank's sentence with a solemn voice, "Frank Stevens, you have been found guilty of your involvement in the conspiracy to harm Donald. Your actions have caused immense pain and suffering. The court hereby sentences you to twenty-five years in prison for your crimes."As the gavel fell, Frank's world crumbled around him. He had been a willing participant in Albert's sinister plans, but now he faced the consequences of his choices. With his head bowed, he was led out of the courtroom, his freedom forever lost.Meanwhile, Rodney's fate hung in the balance as his trial unfolded. The evidence against him was overwhelming, from his confession to the damning testimony of his former associates.The weight of his crimes pressed heavily on him, and as the days turned into weeks, Rodney knew that the outcome of this trial could be his last.The day of Rodney's sentencing arrived with an air of anticipation. The courtroom was packed with spectators
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. She had made significant progress in her recovery, both physically and emotionally, thanks to the unwavering support of Albert and the therapy she had undergone.Her heart still carried the memory of her late husband, Donald, and the strange encounter at their wedding, but she was determined to move forward.As Vera sat on the hospital bed, she became lost in thoughts as she remembered Donald and how much they loved each other before he suddenly passed away. Still lost in thoughts, the door to her hospital room swung open slowly.Vera's heart raced, thinking it was one of the nurses or therapists coming in for a routine check. 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. Dub entered, and the door closed behind him.They found themselves in the living room, facing each other. The silence hung heavy in the air as bo
On Albert and Vera's wedding day, the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the gentle rustling of leaves provided a soothing backdrop.As they walked down the aisle, Albert and Vera moved in perfect harmony, their steps slow and deliberate, as if savouring every moment.Vera, resplendent in her elegant wedding gown, glided forward with grace and poise, her eyes locked onto Albert's.Her veil flowed behind her like a delicate cloud, adding an ethereal touch to her beauty.Albert, standing tall in his impeccably tailored suit, wore an expression of pure love and devotion.His eyes never left Vera, and his smile radiated warmth and happiness. With every step, he moved closer to the love of his life, and it felt like the world had faded away, leaving only the two of them.The aisle itself was adorned with petals of vibrant colours, creating a vibrant contrast against the lush greenery of the garden.The guests watched in awe as the couple made their way toward the
As Amelia and Dub worked together at Malipine Group, their professional relationship began to flourish. They were both dedicated to their roles and shared a common goal of contributing to the company's success.However, as time passed, Dub couldn't help but be reminded of their history together.One day, during a lunch break, Dub and Amelia found themselves sitting across from each other in the office cafeteria.They had become friends once again, sharing stories and laughter as they enjoyed their meal. But beneath the surface, something was stirring within Dub, something he hadn't felt in a long time.He remembered the first time he had met Amelia at Kelfort, and how they had worked closely together. He wasn't in any way attracted to Amelia at the initial stage, but as time went on, he fell head over heels in love with her.They had crossed several hurdles before getting married to each other. He thought of how their marital bliss had been cut short when Linda came in between them.H
