Vera asked, trying to hide the flurry of emotions swirling within her.He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before speaking. "Vera, I've been doing a lot of thinking these past few weeks. I realized that I can't let go of our love, no matter the challenges we've faced. So I want to talk to you about something," he said, his voice gentle, yet confident.Vera looked at him, her eyes filled with warmth and curiosity. "So tell me, Donald.

Albert was sitting in his study, his mind racing with thoughts about Vera and Donald. He was angry and jealous that Donald and Vera were still very much in love.As he sat there, he picked up the phone and dialled his friend, Frank."Hey, Frank, it's Albert. I need your help with something," he said."Sure, what do you need?" Frank replied."I need you to send some of your men to take care of Vera," Albert said, his voice full of malice."What do you mean?" Frank asked, confused."I mean, I want you to make sure that a part of her body becomes disfigured. I want her to be unattractive to Donald so that I can marry her," Albert said, his voice full of anger.Frank was shocked. He had never heard Albert talk like this before."I don't know about this, Albert. It sounds dangerous," Frank said."I don't care. I need your help, Frank. I'll pay you whatever you want," Albert said, his voice full of desperation.Frank sighed, realizing that he wasn't going to be able to talk Albert out of th
"I just received a sack letter from the company," Dub told Amelia, his voice tinged with sadness.Amelia's eyes widened in shock. "Oh, Dub, I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't believe they would do this to you."Dub offered a faint smile, appreciating Amelia's immediate sympathy. "Thanks, Amelia. It's been tough to process. I thought I was doing well in my role, but it seems they had other plans."Amelia reached out to hold his hand, offering a reassuring squeeze. "You're a talented and hardworking person, Dub. I can't imagine what could have led to this decision, but I promise you, I'll do whatever I can to find out what happened."He appreciated her unwavering support, and the warmth of her touch brought some comfort. "Thank you, Amelia. It means a lot to me that you're willing to help."Amelia's suspicion gnawed at her as she walked down the hall towards Jude's office. Deep down, she couldn't shake the feeling that Jude might have played a role in Dub's sudden termination from Horop

As the days turned into weeks, the divide between Jude and Amelia deepened. Though they still lived under the same roof, they had become distant, mere strangers sharing the same space. The revelation of Jude's affair and his callous attitude towards Dub's unfair termination had shattered Amelia's trust and respect for him. Amelia tried to keep herself occupied, focusing on her job and spending more time with friends but the pain and disappointment weighed heavily on her heart. She yearned for the loving, caring man she had once known, but it seemed like he had disappeared, leaving behind an empty shell. Jude, on the other hand, buried himself in his work and his troubles, shutting Amelia out completely. He couldn't face the guilt and shame of what he had done, so he chose to withdraw into himself, becoming more distant and aloof. As the weeks passed, Amelia's health took a sudden turn for the worse. She started feeling nauseous all the time and struggled to keep even a morsel of

Vera blushed, feeling overwhelmed with love and happiness. "And you looked so handsome, Donald. Today was perfect."

Stepping into the house, they were greeted by the scent of fresh flowers and the warm ambience created by the soft ca
Amelia's heart raced as she faced Jude, her eyes brimming with a mixture of anxiety and disbelief.She had finally mustered the courage to share the news of her pregnancy with him, hoping for understanding and support, but his response was nothing like she had expected."What are you talking about, Amelia?" Jude's voice was laced with incredulity as he stared at her, his brows furrowing in confusion.Amelia took a deep breath, trying to steady her voice. "Yes, I said I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant with your child, Jude. We're going to have a baby."Jude's expression shifted from confusion to a mixture of shock and disbelief. He took a step back as if physically distancing himself from her words."You can't be serious," he retorted, his voice dripping with scepticism. "This has to be some kind of sick joke, Amelia."Tears welled up in Amelia's eyes as his words pierced her heart. She had hoped for his understanding, for a moment of connection amidst their strained relationship, but his rea
