The day came when Rodney was to see Sandra's Mum. Rodney felt a little bit nervous since that would be his first time meeting Mrs Jenkins, but he tried to comport himself. Sandra led him into the house, then she informed her Mum of his presence. "Mum, Rodney, my husband, is here," she announced, as she entered her mother's room. "Alright, I'll be with you both shortly," Mrs Jenkins replied as she tried to get herself ready to go to the sitting room. "Good evening, Ma," Rodney greeted as soon as he saw Mrs Jenkins. "Good day. So you're Sandra's husband?" Mrs Jenkins asked. "Yes, I am." "Have your seat," Mrs Jenkins told Rodney, staring at him. "I still find it difficult to understand why the both of you decided to get married without my consent. You didn't try to see me," Mrs Jenkins said, looking at Rodney very sternly. "I'm sorry, Ma. I made all efforts to see you, but Sandra kept on giving me reasons why it was not possible..." "Really? And why was she doing that?" Mrs Jenkin
Since the time Amelia became Dub's assistant at Kelfort Companies Inc., she had contributed so much to the growth and development of the company. She also covered up for Dub's weaknesses on several occasions, as his assistant. Because of Amelia's likeable personality, people seemed to get along with her. Since the time she visited Dub's parent's house for dinner, Mr William always looked forward to another occasion that would bring Dub and Amelia together again. He knew how difficult Dub was, but he was determined to make sure that Dub and Amelia became friends. "Dub, I'll need you to come over to the family house for dinner tonight," Mr William told Dub over the phone on a Thursday afternoon. "Dad, I'm sorry I won't be able to make it over there tonight. My day was so hectic and I have some work I intend to continue as soon as I arrive home to meet up with tomorrow's assignment," Dub told his father. "Dub, I understand you. You won't need to spend so much time here. I think it w
"Yes, Donald Jeff," Donald confirmed. As soon as Amelia heard that it was Donald, she screamed at the top of her voice. "Oh, Donald! I've missed you. I was told you were missing...? " "Yes, I was, but I've been found. Your friend, Melissa rescued me," Donald interrupted. "Really? Which Melissa are you talking about please?" Amelia asked in surprise. "Melissa Yale. I'm talking about Melissa Yale." Donald reiterated. "How did she get to know of your whereabouts, and...why didn't she tell me about it?" Amelia asked, still surprised at how Melissa was able to rescue Donald from the hands of kidnappers."Honestly, I don't know how she got to know where I was. All I know is that she rescued me," Donald said. "It's good to hear from you again, Amelia. I'm sorry for all I did to you back then, I should have known better," Donald continued. "No problem, Donald. I've gotten over it," Amelia replied. After the both of them had talked for a while, they ended the call. But Amelia was still surp
Rodney had begun a clothing business with the money he was able to realise from the loan, but he needed more money to establish the business, so he thought of where he could get more money. Since he had invested most of the money he realised from the loan into the business, and he had been servicing Sandra's financial demands over time, he had almost nothing left to spare. He thought of where he could get more money for the frequent running of his business and day-to-day expenses. So he began to think of getting across to Sandra's Mum. Sandra had once told him that her Mum had a great family inheritance which she would only transfer to her husband under the condition that he was rich and came from a very rich home also.As soon as Rodney heard the condition on which Mrs Jenkins planned to release her family inheritance, he secretly made up his mind to marry Sandra. His marriage to Sandra was not because he loved her but because of the inheritance he planned to get. Now that he nee
Dub and Amelia worked more closely than before. Being Dub's Assistant, Amelia was around Dub most of the time he spent in the office, and Dub was getting attracted to the way Amelia handled her work smartly and intelligently. Dub could not deny that Amelia was both hard-working and smart in her manner of approach so he liked to designate duties to her. On a Friday morning, Dub invited Amelia over to his office as usual and asked her to check and verify some files. Just while she was doing that, he began to admire her, unknown to her."I've never imagined that Amelia is this beautiful," Dub said to himself. He was carried away by Amelia's beauty for a few minutes before he got back to himself. "Oh, my. Why will I allow myself to be attracted to a mere subordinate? What nonsense?" Dub said to himself as he shifted his gaze from Amelia. When Amelia was done checking the files, she looked up at Dub and handed them over to him. "I'm done checking. I think this has to be looked into," Am
Now that Melissa had arrived at Parker city, she was so eager to see Donald. For some weeks now, they had only been conversing over the phone and had not seen themselves physically. It was a Friday evening when Melissa picked up her phone to call Donald. "Hi, Donald. How are you today? Have you returned from work?" Melissa asked. "Yes, I have. I came in not too long ago. How are you too?" Donald asked. "I'm good. I just thought of when you would be available for us to see since we haven't seen since you returned to Parker city. I feel being in the same place should make it easy for us to see each other," Melissa said. "We'll see. When will you like us to see?" Donald asked. "I'll be free tomorrow. What about you?" Melissa asked. "Tomorrow is fine. It's a Saturday, so I'll be at home," Donald said. "Alright, then. See you tomorrow," Melissa said as she hung up on the phone. The next day, Donald was well dressed awaiting Melissa's arrival. Not too long, he heard the doorbell ring. H
Rodney glanced at Sandra in shock. He wondered if he had done anything wrong for Mrs Jenkins to address him in such a manner. "Errm...I don't understand what's going on here. Did I do anything wrong?" Rodney asked as he stood up from his seat. "You ask me if you've done anything wrong. You haven't, but we don't want you around here. We don't want you to be a part of our family!" Mrs Jenkins said. "Sandra, what's going on? Is that true?" Rodney asked facing Sandra with a look of surprise on his face. As soon as Sandra saw him look at her, she looked away. "Oh, no. This is unbelievable," Rodney said as he walked towards the door to leave. "Go where you're needed! We don't need wretched fools like you in our family!" Mrs Jenkins spoke at the top of her voice before Rodney left the house. Sandra knew that she would be courting trouble if she followed Rodney to the house, so she decided to wait back at her mother's house for some days. She had anticipated earlier that Rodney's meetin
Mr and Mrs Jeff were relaxing in front of their house when they saw Donald drive into the compound. "Hey, Donald is here," Nina told her husband who was busy eating some fruits from his plate. "Oh..." Albert responded as he looked up at the car which drove into the compound. Not too long, Donald stepped out of the vehicle and walked towards them. "Hi, Dad. Hi, Mum." Donald greeted as he moved to sit beside them. "Hey, Donald. You're welcome," both of them responded. "How was work today?" Albert asked his son. It was Friday, so Donald decided to branch over to have dinner with his parents before going home. "Work was fine, Dad. Duluth Associates is doing much better. We've been able to recruit more experienced and dedicated staff, so we're getting better results," Donald told his Dad."Wow, that sounds interesting. The police are still on the lookout for those behind the fraudulent loan application. Investigations are still ongoing," Albert said. "Yes, Dad. The culprits must be foun
