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.

    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.

    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

    Amelia arrived at the police station as a suspect. "Young lady, you were arrested for being one of Mr Owen Powell's accomplices. Mr Owen Powell is a dealer of hard and illicit drugs and we've been on the lookout for him and his accomplices." "I don't know what you're talking about. Never knew Owen dealt in hard and illicit drugs. Oh, my God!" Amelia exclaimed in shock, then she began to sob. "I just started relating with him two weeks ago. I came into his house a few minutes ago when I heard the sound of the police's vehicle. Please, release me! I'm not one of his accomplices. You need to believe me," Amelia said, as tears rolled down her cheeks. She regretted agreeing to date Owen. If only she had refused him when he asked her out, she wouldn't be in this mess. She saw the way Owen squandered money, but she never for once thought that he could be involved in something illicit. She gave him all her heart, without knowing that she was giving it to the wrong person. Amelia was taken

    After Amelia was released from police custody, she received a conference call from the Williams and Coxs that same weekend. The two families had been informed about Amelia's arrest and the reason why she was arrested; so they called to show her some love and care. Mrs Cox and Mr Williams would have come over to Donlow city, if Dub had not tried to stop them from coming, saying that, it wasn't necessary. "Hello, Amy," Mrs Cox greeted, as soon as the conference call began."Hi, Mum." "I'm happy that you have been released from police custody. It's good news..." "Yes, it is, Amy. We were told that you were in a relationship with a drug dealer. And that was why you got implicated," Mr William interrupted. "Yes, Dad. I never knew that he dealt drugs. I knew he was rich and squandered money, but I never knew that he dealt hard drugs. He told me he was into a business, but I was so carried away by his love that I didn't seek to know what business it was," Amelia said. "Hmmm...thank God

    Sandra had thought that she would be compensated by the Yales for attempting to kill Donald, but to her surprise, she wasn't. She and Betty exchanged words and abused each other before she left their house the other day. And she regretted allowing the Yales to influence her in the first place. She believed that if she hadn't danced to the Yales's tune, she would still be in Donald's house; now she was sure that there was no way she could get back to being Donald's wife, no matter how much she tried. Now, they knew her to be a murderer, and she knew that trying to get back with him could make her end up in prison. The fact that she was still free and yet to be arrested was enough reason to be joyous, so she decided to accept her fate. She entered two marriages in less than a year. If she knew what she could do to get back at the Yales for what they did to her, she would just do it. She wasn't sure of what to tell her Mum who believed that she was doing well with Donald.

    Owen was sentenced to ten years imprisonment by the court. This brought so much sorrow for Linda because their parents were dead and they were just two; herself and Owen. Their parents died in a ghastly accident ten years ago; so both of them were left to fend for themselves, even at a young age. Linda used to do menial jobs, until Owen persuaded her to stop, promising that he would begin a business that would make him capable of taking care of the two of them. Even though Linda was surprised at how Owen was able to gather money to start the business, she didn't bother to ask him. He had friends, so she believed that he was able to gather some money from them. Later on, she found out that Owen was involved in a restaurant business, and she believed it was the business he talked to her about; but up to the time that Owen was arrested, she never knew that he was a drug dealer. Since the time Linda saw Dub and Amelia together again outside the luxury shop, she had been unhappy. Now,

    Now that Donald had the idea that the Yale family was after his life, with his family giving him reasons why Sandra and the Yales could not be arrested, he decided to relocate to the Northern part of Parker city. The Jeffs had two major investments in the Northern part of the city; so he handed over the leadership of Duluth Associates to someone else and took over one of the family investments in the Northern part of Parker city. Ferex Company and Albert Jeff Automobiles were the two companies that the Jeffs owned in the Northern part.His Mum was vehemently against his plan since she liked to see him around and to visit him; she knew that if Dub relocated, she would no longer be able to see him like she usually did. "Mum, the only reason why I will stay back here is if the Yales are being arrested. I can't live in the same place my enemies reside, especially when I know that there is nothing I can do about them," Donald said. "Come out clear, Donald. Which enemies are you refer

    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

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?"

    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
