Mr William always made sure that he called Amelia to greet her, at least twice a week, and it was obvious to his wife and other children. He liked Amelia and could not hide it, even before he got to know that she was his child. He believed Amelia was brilliant. Mrs William still had some ill feelings toward Amelia. A close family friend of the Williams was told about Amelia and Dub's birth, and because of this they acted irrationally towards Mrs William, and labelled her evil for exchanging the children, even though they kept the information secret from outsiders. This reaction made Mrs William feel somewhat ashamed, careful and suspicious of anyone who came around her, believing that their family friend may have leaked the secret in some way. Mrs William also felt pained anytime she remembered that she had no male child to call her own; even though Dub still contacted her and related with her well as his mother, she still felt like she was no longer his mother. Apart from the fea
Now, Vera was working very closely with Donald being his Secretary. Vera had ended her relationship with her jealous boyfriend. On one Monday evening, Vera had to submit some files to Donald's office, before leaving for home, since work was over for the day. So she entered his office to see him. As soon as she dropped the files on his table and was about to leave, Donald called her back. "Hey, Vera. You're not looking very bright. Hope everything is okay?" Donald asked. "Fine...I broke up with him last weekend, and I'm trying to get over it," Vera said. "Oh, sorry. You just have to get going. And...I think you were into the wrong relationship, so it makes it better," Donald said, then he paused for a while trying to study Vera's reaction, but she looked expressionless. "You see, I was like you, but the difference between us is that I quickly let go of the relationship. I was married, and I loved my wife sincerely, but I never knew that she was my sworn enemy. She jilted me while
Mr William began to develop certain challenges with his health. He suddenly began to breathe very fast one Thursday night, unable to sleep and this caused panic among his wife and children. So they rushed him to the hospital. Before Mr William's driver could arrive at the hospital, he died on the way. His wife and children mourned for him and it was a sordid experience for the William family. When Amelia got to know about it, she cried endlessly and found it very difficult to be comforted. Mr William was both a father and friend to her and she knew that no one could fill up the vacuum that he had left. Because of the loss, she and Dub took three days to leave from work, so decided to spend the leave with her family, since everyone needed to be together this time, at least to comfort each other. On the first day that she arrived there, everyone was busy weeping and no one seemed to see anybody. Amelia had noticed that her mother did not stop crying since she arrived and the peopl
It was a new day at Albert Jeff Automobiles, and the staff resumed one after the other. Everyone was full of life as they got ready for the day's work. Donald arrived late this morning compared to the other days. He was known for his puctuality, even though he was the General Manager. But on this fateful day, he was late. He felt weak with pains in his tummy earlier that morning, but he still managed to go to work. He had the intention of closing from work earlier that day so that he could rest. As he walked into the company, he was greeted by the staff left and right. He waved his hands to them in response, and walked majestically towards his office. He inserted the key into the door to open it, and almost suddenly, he fell to the ground. "Ahh..." "Ohhh...." Jesus!" were the sudden cries that were from the staff that were around at that time. "Please, wake up! Wake up! The staff with him began to shout and shake his body, expecting him to wake up suddenly, but Donald lay stiff
"No, Martins. We no longer had any business with each other since we graduated from high school. You can't spend the rest of your life with me. I'm engaged to someone and will be getting married soon," Amelia replied to Martins over the phone. "No, Amelia. It can't be any other man but me. Remember how I used to call you my future wife, and how you always smiled at it? Amelia, we're meant for each other. You just need to give me a chance," Martins said. "No, Martins! No! I've heard enough of this conversation. I've told you to take your mind off it because I'm engaged! More so, I can't love you or have anything to do with you!" Amelia spoke at the top of her voice. Even if she wasn't in a relationship with anyone, she couldn't consider him because he was a criminal. They met again during one of his criminal operations, and even if he was the only option left for a boyfriend or husband, she couldn't consider him. This made Martins furious. He and his colleague would have raped her
"Errrmm...We can always get a kidney donor," Mr Jeff replied to his wife. "Then... argh...what about you? I think you're healthier than me, and being his parent makes it easier. Why don't we try this, dear?" Mrs Jeff asked her husband. "Errrm...arrh..." Mr Jeff wasn't sure of what to say. He wasn't ready to tell his wife directly that he wasn't ready to donate his kidney. He had heard of what it means to donate a kidney, and how kidney donors needed to be more careful in their lifestyles about what they eat and drink after donating a kidney. Now, he was confused about what to do. He knew that if he told his wife that he wasn't ready to donate his kidney, she would term him to be wicked. She was a very compassionate person, and she didn't mind going out of her way to help someone, even if it was to her disadvantage sometimes. He was sure that she would have loved to donate her kidney, if not for the state of her health. She had never had sound health in the last year; she was only
"Let me in, Dub," Linda said. Dub looked at her and opened the door wider for her to come in. "Now, tell me why you're here. Don't you care if my girlfriend is around?" Dub asked looking at Linda with a frown. Linda chuckled. "Do you think I would have come here if she was around?" I'm sure she's not around; that's why I'm here," she said, smiling at Dub as she went to sit on one of the sofas. The house was very quiet and Dub's servant was not close by, so he was not sure of what to do. He felt like calling Amelia and telling her that Linda was in his house, or doing something that would make her leave, but he felt handicapped. He stood staring at her for a while as if to throw her out, but he knew deep in his heart that he was tempted by her. She looked very seductive in the outfit that she wore. And almost immediately, he remembered the nudes she had sent to him. He tried to get the dirty thoughts off his mind, but he found it very difficult. He loved Amelia and did not want to
The hospital was yet to find a kidney donor for Donald. He was still on the waiting list and was in critical condition right now. Mr and Mrs Jeff had made several attempts just to get him a donor. His family and loved ones visited him at the hospital and showed him love and care, but no one seemed to be ready to donate his or her kidney for Donald. Back at Albert Jeff Automobiles, some of the staff discussed Donald's critical condition, and how they missed him. It was close of work at the company, and most of the staff were tidying up their desk to go home. "Do you know about the GM's current state of health? I wonder when he'll be resuming back to work," said Cecil, one of Vera's colleagues. "Well, I don't know. I just hope he gets back soon," Vera replied. "Same here. He's so hardworking, and he relates well with everyone. Since his absence from work, the company has felt it one way or the other. He's a unique leader," Cecil said."Well," Vera said as she picked up her bag to le
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
