"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
After many weeks of searching, no one heard anything from Vera. The police had not found any leads, and this made Donald worried. He knew he could do nothing about it, but he kept on making every possible move he could think about.He went to the police station every day, asking for updates on the case. The detectives told him that they were doing everything they could, but they had no leads.Donald felt helpless. He didn't know what else he could do to find Vera. He started looking for clues on his own. He decided to visit Rodney's antique store if he could achieve something.He had called the phone numbers of the kidnappers after the last time he saw them give them money, but their numbers were no longer going through.He was desperate to find Vera before she would be killed, and he knew that he just had to do something.One day, he decided to visit Rodney's antique store where his Secretary had once bought antiques from. She had described the place to him, so he went there. He hope
Mrs William sat across from Dub in the living room, her eyes filled with anticipation. She had been waiting for this moment to finally inquire about Amelia's pregnancy, a subject that had been weighing heavily on her mind."Dub, I've been meaning to ask you about Amelia's pregnancy," Mrs William began, trying to sound concerned. "How is she doing? Is everything okay?"Dub's face instantly became clouded with sadness, and he let out a deep sigh. He could sense the curiosity and hope in Mrs William's eyes.Little did she know that his response would bring her joy, despite his heartbreak."Mom, I have some unfortunate news to share," Dub said, his voice laced with sorrow. "Amelia had a miscarriage."Mrs William's heart skipped a beat, but she managed to maintain a sombre expression on her face. Inside, however, a sense of delight and satisfaction bubbled up within her.She had always harboured jealousy and resentment towards Amelia, and the news of the miscarriage felt like a vindication
As Rodney entered the dimly lit room, his eyes locked onto Vera's, who was sitting in a corner, with her eyes filled with fear and confusion.Her dishevelled appearance and the marks of captivity on her face only seemed to fuel Rodney's amusement. He could hardly contain himself as he approached her, a wicked grin playing on his lips."Vera, my dear," Rodney said, his voice dripping with condescension. "You certainly know how to entertain me."Vera looked up at him, her eyes brimming with a mix of fear and defiance. She knew she was at his mercy, but she refused to let him see her weakness. "What are you talking about?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Rodney's laughter echoed through the room, sending a shiver down Vera's spine. "Oh, Vera, you are something. Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out about what you did?"Confusion washed over Vera's face as she struggled to understand what he meant. "What did I do? I don't know what you're talking about."Rodney leaned in clo
