Mrs Cox was now determined to get across to Dub through every means possible. Even though Dub and Amelia had arrived back at Donlow city, she thought of what she could do to bring them back anytime soon. Now that Dub had been rejected by Amelia's father, he began to be a little sceptical about Amelia and her family. "Can I have anything serious to do with Amelia?" Dub thought to himself as he sat down in his office. Amelia had tried to apologize to Dub after her father behaved to her fiance in such an awkward manner but Dub was already beginning to reconsider the relationship in his heart because he hated the way her father approached him, even though he loved Amelia. Mrs Cox dialled Amelia's number and waited for her to pick up. "Hello, dear. I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. I couldn't just wait for you to close from work before telling you this..." "No problem, Mum. What is it about?" Amelia asked. "There is something very urgent I'll like to discuss with you and Dub. Ca
Donald had been wondering why Melissa's parents acted like they didn't know him as Mrs Yale's nephew. All these while, he had thought that her parents only got to know him through the news, because he was missing. He never imagined that Melissa's Mum was his Aunt. So he decided to find out from his Mum about Melissa. He picked up his phone and dialled her number. "Hello, Mum." "Hello, Donald. How are you today?" "I'm fine, Mum. How are you too?" Donald asked. "I'm doing great, son," his Mum responded. "Mum, I have something I want to see you about, so I'll be coming over this evening as soon as I close from work," Donald told his Mum. "Alright, dear. I'll be expecting you," his Mum responded. Later that evening, when Donald closed from work, he drove straight to his parent's house. Within a few minutes, he arrived there. He met his Mum outside the house talking with one of the servants, so he greeted her. "Good day, Mum." "You're welcome, Donald. Let us go inside." Mrs Jeff sai
"Errrm...yeah...I love you." Dub responded to Amelia. "Then if you do, you'll forgive my parents for what they did to you. We err at different times and none of us is perfect," Amelia told Dub.On hearing what Amelia said, Dub became more attracted to her. She seemed to know how to get to him. "I've forgiven them, just that I find it difficult to take my mind off what they did to me, especially your Dad.He yelled at me and made me feel less than myself," Dub said. "I'm sorry once again. Please, get over it," Amelia told her fiance."It's no problem," Dub responded."So, tell me. When are we going to see my parents again?" Amelia asked. "Ermmm...I haven't decided yet," Dub replied sharply. "Don't say that, Dub. You can decide now. Just fix a time. My Mum says it's urgent," Amelia tried to persuade him."Alright, then. Let us make it next weekend," Dub replied to Amelia. As soon as Amelia heard that, she was so excited that she jumped and hugged Dub. "Thank you, Dub. Thank you," Amelia
Sandra had now returned to Rodney and was at home. Rodney was yet to be back from work when Sandra returned home. But when he returned, he noticed that someone was already in the house. He now lived alone and had no servant living with him at the moment.As soon as he entered the sitting room, he noticed a female's sandals at the entrance, so he wondered who was inside the house. While he was still observing things, Sandra walked out of one of the rooms. "So you're back? Good. I have always known that you will come back," Rodney said as he approached Sandra trying to hug her, but Sandra stood still before him like a wood. She remembered her mother's statement which told her that she was returning to Rodney to fulfil a mission this time. "Why are you not smiling?" Rodney asked when he noticed Sandra's countenance. "Really? Nothing. Maybe it's because I'm a little stressed," Sandra replied as she was about to return to the room she came out from. Just when she was about to leave, she
Since Donald got to know that Melissa was his cousin, he knew that he could have no intimate relationship with her. And since the time that Sandra found out that Donald was in Parker City, she made all attempts to win his heart. She visited him on several occasions and also visited his parent's house to pay them visits. This made Mrs Jeff fall in love with her more, that she always said good things about Sandra to Donald. It was a weekend so Donald planned to see Sandra who had called him severally over the phone since the beginning of the week, for them to see. "Hello Sandra, can we see at Willings Palace this afternoon by 3 pm?" Donald asked Sandra. "Yes dear, I'll be there," Sandra promised. "See you then," Donald replied as he hung up on the phone. Later that Saturday afternoon, Donald and Sandra met at Willings Palace. Sandra was excited to see Donald after a while. Of recently, she was happy that she and Donald had begun to get along well. "Hey, Sandra. How are you doing tod
Since Rodney became the Chief Operating Officer of Ferex company, he had been doing everything in his power to make sure that he soon became the CEO. With the cooperation of Mr Brown who was also a member of the board of directors at Ferex company, He was able to blackmail the CEO, Mr Blaire Paul. He paid some staff to attest to negative facts about Mr Paul, which they did. This led to Mr Blaire's eventual sack. The company was now on the lookout for a new CEO. Rodney did everything possible for him to be presented as the new CEO of Ferex company, but he wasn't appointed. Instead, a junior staff to him at the company was appointed, because of his qualification, dedication and hard work over the years. When Rodney got to know about the new CEO's appointment, he became furious, so he made up his mind to frustrate and blackmail the new CEO. "I'm just going to make sure that that dumb head doesn't spend more than a month in that office," Rodney told Mr Brown at the company's garage.
Now that Donald had proposed to Sarah, Sarah tried everything possible to make sure that he got married to her in no time. Now, he had begun to find Sarah very irresistible that he decided to marry her. "Mum, I and Sarah will be getting married anytime soon," Donald told his Mum during one of their family get-togethers. Since Donald was the only child of his parents, his parents always talked about his getting married, especially his Mum. And to Mrs Jeff, Sandra was just the right choice for her son. "Wow, this calls for special celebrations. Just hearing this has made today the best one ever," Mrs Jeff told her son. "So, tell me. Have you fixed a date?" Mrs Jeff asked. "We both chose the 6th of next month," Donald said. "Isn't that so soon?" Mrs Jeff asked. "No, not at all. It's just going to be a small family wedding," Donald replied."I don't think you should do anything small, Donald. You have the money to do a grand and societal wedding. So don't do anything contrary. I'll be
As soon as Mr and Mrs Cox were done explaining to Dub and Amelia, tears rolled down Amelia's cheeks because she believed her parents' story; but Dub continued to look in doubt and disbelief. "How possible is this? Why will another family claim me as their child? This is becoming weird!" Dub thought to himself. "Dub, my son. You need to inform your parents about this. We're not sure of what this may lead to, but you need to be sure that all I have told you is nothing but the truth..." "I think I want to leave now," Dub interrupted as he was about to pick up his bag. "But why, Dub? You just arrived here one and a half hours ago. Where are you going to?" Mr Cox asked with a look of concern on his face. "I'm going to anywhere else I can stay before returning to Donlow city tomorrow. I never knew that this is what my visit to this place would lead to. I don't believe all that both of you are saying. You both cannot be my real parents," Dub said as he picked up his bag and walked out o

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.

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.

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

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.
