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? I know I misbehaved," Sandra said as she pulled Donald to herself. "Donald, if you love me as your mother, you'll give Sandra an
Sandra had never for once loved Donald. Even when the both of them were in a relationship at the University of Chesbil, Sandra's heart was never with Donald. She only pretended to love him because he was good academically and he tutored her on difficult subjects. Because she wanted Donald to devote most of his time to her, she agreed to a relationship with him. Donald was of average height and he also had a petite stature, coupled with the fact that he was known to be poor.Sandra hated all of these. She wanted a huge and tall man with a broad chest and muscles, coupled with the fact that he must be rich. And Rodney seemed to possess all of these features, except that he was not as rich as Donald.He was tall, rich, and handsome. Even though Sandra had now come to know about Donald's real identity, she only wanted his money and wasn't ready to have anything serious with him. She was willing to kill Donald just as Rodney instructed her, because of the money that she would get. If Sa
Rodney resumed work at Duluth Associates this very morning. Anytime, he came into the company, he always felt somewhat bad and depressed about the new position he occupied. He was only looking towards what his father had told him about, concerning taking over the company from Donald. He couldn't wait to see it happen.He was about to settle at his desk to begin work for the day when he heard his phone ring, so he picked it up. "Hello, we would like you to work with us, so we would be getting in touch with you at intervals. Just make sure that you remain with your phone," a male voice said."Alright, then. That's fine. I'll do that," Rodney responded as he hung up on his phone. He was full of excitement that his plans were gradually coming to pass.Marvin, Rodney's closest colleague who worked together with him at the same office could read that Rodney was unusually happy. He smiled at any little opportunity as he attended to the day's work."Hey, Rodney. I love the way you're lookin
"Emmm...I...I don't know what you're talking about," Donald managed to say. He wasn't sure of what he had just heard. "I said before you can be released from here, you need to transfer the documents showing the proof of ownership of Duluth Associates to me!" Rick repeated. "That's not possible. The documents you're asking for are not in my custody but in my father's. For now, I only act as the CEO," Donald tried to explain. "You're such a blatant liar! I don't believe you!" Rick said as he slapped Donald's face. "I'm...I'm...serious..." Donald managed to say. "Okay, then. If you insist that the document is in your father's custody, then you must help us get it whichever way you can; if not you'll be killed!" Rick threatened. "Alright then, release me so that I can get it," Donald said, looking up at Rick. "Of course, no. We won't be stupid to make such a mistake. We will give you the phone to speak to your father about it," Rick said. "Now, dial his number!" One of the men yelle
"Please, leave me! Leave me!" Donald shouted out of pain, but the man continued to kick him all over his body, until he noticed that Donald was no longer responsive. Donald fell to the ground as if he was asleep, then the man could sense that Donald had fainted. So he called Rick to inform him about the development. "The young man has fallen to the ground. It appears like he has fainted," the man informed."Then you must do all you can to revive him because we're not done with him yet, Rick said."Okay, Boss. I'll ensure that he is revived," the man promised; then he hung up on the phone. After the call was ended, the man tried to revive Donald. When he saw how weak Donald was, he served him a small portion of food with a cup of water, which he knew would not satisfy Donald in any way. His reason for serving Donald was to make him gain some little strength.************It was now Wednesday morning. Albert had kept awake since 3am and watched the time so that he could go to the des
"We can't do anything on the documents right now. I'm sure the police will be on the lookout for us. So we need to be careful," Rick told his son. "Yes, I agree with you Dad. We have taken the major step; we just need to watch out for any opportunity," Rodney said. Albert had been expecting to see Donald; but after waiting for almost three days, he became worried. Nina was also bothered about her son's whereabouts. "I'm yet to understand what is going on. When I checked Donald at his house, his servants told me that he went on an urgent business trip and wasn't around.I believed them and tried calling him on several occasions, but he never picked up. So I thought he probably wasn't picking up his calls because he was in the midst of a meeting.But I'm beginning to get confused! For the past six to seven days, I haven't heard from Donald and now I'm beginning to feel very uncomfortable. I just hope he's fine?" Nina asked in a shaky voice. It was obvious that she was becoming afraid
Donald's father, Albert, was on his way to report Donald's kidnap to the police when he suddenly heard his phone ring, so he picked it up. The number was unknown. "Hello, Mr Jeff.Donald will be released anytime today, but if you make any attempt to report to the police, we'll kill him. We sense that you're about to report to the police since you didn't see him yesterday evening as we promised. If you go on reporting us, we'll kill him. Jail is a place we would love to be, so it's not a threat to go there. But what about your son's life?" The male voice asked, then he hung up the phone without waiting for any response from Albert.The kidnappers knew what to say to discourage their victims from reporting to the police, and they just applied the same trick they usually used on the other victims of Albert. Since they didn't release Donald the previous day, they sensed that Albert would like to report to the police station; that was why they quickly called to discourage him."I just pra
"Rodney is doing very great. I came into Donlow to see a friend. I've stayed in her house for a while now, but just yesterday, she told me about today's party," Melissa explained. "And who is that friend who invited you?" Amelia asked. "She is Debbie by name; she works at Kelfort Companies Inc," Melissa said. "Oh, I know her. She's my colleague at work. I work at Kelfort too," Amelia disclosed. "You have such a large circle of friends. This place is so filled up with guests. I'm sure they must be making your day," Melissa said."Well, maybe," Amelia responded coldly as she remembered Donald. In the last four years of her life, she had not had any birthday without him being present at her house. So she felt her birthdays were incomplete without him. Even though she never celebrated her birthdays, Donald always came to visit her with a gift to make the day a memorable one; but this time, he was not around. "You responded very coldly. Are you alright?" Melissa asked. "Yes, I'm fine.
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
