Donald had never felt so helpless in his entire life. He was tied up in a small, dark room, with barely enough space to move around.His body was bruised and battered from the countless beatings he had received from Rodney's men. Every time he tried to escape, they would simply beat him even more.He had no idea why he was being held captive, or what Rodney wanted from him. All he knew was that he needed to find a way out, and fast. But the more he struggled, the more hopeless he felt.Hours turned into days, and Donald was losing track of time. He had no idea how long he had been trapped in that room, or whether anyone was even looking for him.He had given up hope of being rescued and had resigned himself to his fate.After a few days of being held hostage, Rodney himself came to visit him. Donald could barely recognize him at first, because of the sore in his eyes. He had been so badly beaten. But he could see the hatred in Rodney's eyes, and he knew that he was in serious trouble.
As Linda sat in front of Dub, her heart was pounding with nervousness. She had requested to see him to tell him that she was carrying his child, and the reaction she got was the last thing she had expected."I don't know what you're talking about," Dub said sternly, looking away from her. "I didn't sleep with you. It's impossible."Linda couldn't believe what she was hearing. How could he deny it? They had slept together on his honeymoon night at the hotel, and it was the only time they had been intimate.She had taken a pregnancy test and visited a doctor to confirm that she was indeed pregnant."Dub, please don't do this," Linda pleaded, tears streaming down her face. "I'm not lying to you. I'm carrying your child."Dub continued to deny it, his tone becoming more aggressive. "I don't have time for this. You're making things up to try and ruin my marriage. I won't stand for it."Linda felt devastated. She had never imagined that Dub would react this way. She had thought that he woul
Rodney sat in his dimly lit living room, his eyes fixed on the small television set in front of him, but his mind was elsewhere.He was yet to find out that Donald had escaped. He had put everything in place to make sure that Donald was killed, and all he was waiting for was feedback from the men he had asked to kill Donald. Rodney turned his attention to the man sitting across from him."Where are the others?" Rodney demanded, his voice low and menacing.The man shifted in his seat, clearly uncomfortable. "I don't know, sir. I haven't seen them since morning. They just disappeared."Rodney narrowed his eyes, studying the man's face for any signs of deception. "What about Donald? Has he been killed?" "Errmmm...I'm not sure." The man stammered looking down at the floor. "What do you mean you're not sure? Are you not one of those put in charge of him?!" Rodney asked in anger."Yes, you sent me on an errand, and by the time I returned, there was no trace of Donald or the two other men.
"Alright, I will. I promise to make you a part of my life as long as Amelia does not get to know about you and the baby." Dub said. Linda was happy that Dub had agreed to keep her in his life; however, she hesitated before answering. "I don't want to cause any problems for you, Dub, but I know I don't want to be shut out completely.I understand that you have a life with Amelia," she said. "However, I understand why you want to keep it a secret. Let's keep it between us for now."Dub let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Linda. I appreciate it."The both of them departed, but Dub couldn't stop thinking about the situation with Linda and the baby.As time went by, Dub found himself becoming more and more attracted to Linda. At first, it was just a casual interest, born out of the unusual circumstances that had brought them together. But as they spent more time together, he began to see her in a new light.It started with their conversations. They would talk for hours about everything
Rodney and his man, Marco, were on edge ever since they discovered that Donald had escaped. They knew they had to act fast before the police could track them down. They couldn't afford to be caught now, not with Vera still being held hostage.Rodney's mind was racing as he tried to come up with a plan. "We need to leave this place," he said to Marco. "The longer we stay here, the more likely we are to get caught.""But where do we go?" Marco asked. "We can't just leave Vera here.""I know," Rodney said, thinking. "We'll take her with us. We'll find a new place to hide out, somewhere where the police won't think to look.""Okay, but where?" Marco asked again.Rodney thought for a moment. "There's a small town a few hours away. It's enclosed, so it's not easy to get in or out. We can hide out there for a while until things cool down."Marco nodded. "Okay, let's do it."Rodney and Marco quickly packed up their belongings and grabbed Vera. They made sure she was tied up securely so that s
Linda assured Dub that there was nothing to worry about, as Dub's feeling could just be an ordinary one. Eight months later, Linda woke up one morning with intense cramps in her lower abdomen. She was eight and a half months pregnant, so she knew that this could be a sign of labour.She immediately called Dub, who rushed over to her apartment to take her to the hospital.Linda was in a lot of pain, but Dub tried his best to keep her calm and comfortable during the car ride.When they arrived at the hospital, Linda was taken to the labour and delivery unit, where the doctors and nurses immediately began to assess her condition.After a few minutes of monitoring Linda's contractions and fetal heart rate, the doctors determined that she was indeed in active labour and that they needed to prepare for delivery.Dub was by Linda's side the entire time, holding her hand and offering words of encouragement.Despite the pain and discomfort, Linda was determined to have a natural childbirth wi
Donald and his parents, the Jeffs, were in a difficult position. They knew that the Yales had committed a crime, but they had no evidence to show the police.Donald had not recorded his conversation with Vera, and he was not there at the time Vera discovered the truth. They knew that the police would not accept their report, and they could instead be implicated.The Jeffs had always been law-abiding citizens, and they did not want to get involved in anything that could tarnish their reputation. They also did not want to put their son in any danger, knowing that the Yales were capable of doing anything to protect their interests.Donald was frustrated. He wanted to do something to help Vera and to get the Yales arrested, but he did not know what to do.He could not just sit back and watch as the Yales continued to exploit them. The police were still on the lookout for Rodney, and they had even been to Yale's house in Parker City to make investigations about Rodney's whereabouts, but h
Amelia woke up one morning, feeling a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She sat up in bed and realized that her whole body was covered in blood. She gasped, feeling a sense of panic rising within her.She rushed to the bathroom, tears streaming down her face. She knew what had happened. She had had another miscarriage.Amelia and Dub had been trying to have a child for the past year, but it had never worked. They had gone through several rounds of fertility treatments, but nothing seemed to work.Amelia had suffered several miscarriages before, but each one was as painful as the last. She felt like a failure like her body was betraying her.She sat on the toilet, feeling the blood gushing out of her. She cried, feeling a sense of loss and despair. She knew that she had to tell Dub, but she didn't know how.Dub was still asleep when Amelia returned to the bedroom. She sat on the edge of the bed, watching him sleep. He looked peaceful, unaware of the pain she was going through.She touch
