Torento was still missing, the police had been on the lookout, but it seemed he had gone out of this earth. His picture had been placed everywhere around town saying he was wanted. His house was watched for weeks, but there was no sign of him, no one has heard anything from him for two weeks now.

Everyone's life seemed to be going well. The chef, who now goes by Elena, moved out of town with her best friend Jerry, to stay away from all the drama and because of the new job she got. Josh and Rebecca finally moved to Florida, living their dream life. Amanda and her brothers went back to their 'business'. While Alex... Alex was nearly fired, but with after begging, Ross moved him down to the commentary section, where he would be working for two months. He had called the story Alex had given for excuse, load of bullshit. It actually was load of bullshit, since Alex wasn't a good liar. He still sucked at softball and Stacie had suggested he took lessons because their loss

    A month later"I can't believe you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend!" Mrs Anne Oliver shouted through the phone."I do not have a girlfriend mum, Amanda and I aren't official yet.""Oh please, you haven't had a girlfriend in what, three years? Listen to me Alex, ask her to be your girlfriend today.""Mum!" Alex slammed his palm on his head. The other night while Amanda was over, he had mistakenly butt-dialled his mother and she had heard Amanda's voice, Alex had realized what had happened only few minutes later when she had let out a cough, she had realized what had happened and choose to listen to their conversation quietly. "We were just having dinner last night and watching a movie," He said. "Nothing more.""Oh please, from the way you two were talking last night, I'm pretty sure there is something more," Alex could already imagine the mischievo

    "She's on fire!" Stacey exclaimed as Amanda caught another ball. She turned to Alex. "How come you haven't brought your girlfriend over since? She would have saved us from all the embarrassment, most of them brought on us by you.""She's not my girlfriend," Alex muttered watching Amanda throw the ball to someone else."What are you waiting for dude?" Martins asked. "Look at her," he said like Alex wasn't already looking at her, Amanda had left the field since the game was over, she was about to grab a bottle of water. "What are you waiting for?" He asked again.Alex didn't reply, he was eyeing a guy who had walked over to Amanda. "Who's that guy?" Alex asked Martins.Martins followed Alex's eyes and saw who he was referring to. "Oh, that's Jeff Dunson. One thing you should know is he's a major player," Martins said. "And if he's talking to your girl, it only means he's interested in her.""Int

    Alex found himself on his side staring at Amanda as she slept. She looked so peaceful in her sleep and innocent, he smiled, happy at the thought that she was at least happy in Dreamland. She was the strongest young lady he had ever met, with everything she had gone through he has never not seen her smile in a day, she didn't have it all, but she was satisfied with the little.He sighed rolling into his back and staring up at the ceiling. He knew why she didn't want to be his girlfriend yet, she needed to find her path, solve the past, then move on with the future. People would surely call him crazy, in fact, he would call 'him' crazy, falling in love with the same woman who stole from you the first time she met you, who is still currently stealing from other people.He wondered what she went through the two years on the street before Jason and Jacob took her in, how she survived, the things she does now is as result of what she had to do back then.

    "Josh no!" Rebecca giggled trying to stop him from removing her shorts, but he succeeded anyways."Come on, just a quickie.""No, we are not having a 'quickie' Josh, your quickies are never quickies. You turn minutes to hours." She moaned as she felt Josh fingers rubbing her clit."You say that like it's a bad thing." He looked up at her, smiling mischievously, then pressed on a particular spot making her gasp. "You know you want it Amanda.""You know I do!" She shouted frustrated, her mind was torn on two things and she was very close to throwing him on the bed and pouncing on him. "But not now, w—what I wa... Fuck! It doesn't matter now.""Tell that to your juices Angel," he chuckled adding another finger. Amanda threw her head back on the bed in a loud moan. Her hands gripping the satin tight, she could feel the heat rushing to her lower belly as her heart pace increased."

    Silence was thrown in, the only sound we're the voices coming from the television inside. Everyone held a confused expression, as they all glanced at the other wondering what one was talking about.The lady stared at them like they were mad, then back at Amanda. "If you're up to another one of your pranks, it isn't working. Don't even think of pretending like you lost your memory. Now, come inside with your friend, it's cold outside.""Ohkay," Amanda muttered grabbing Alex's hand, they walked inside slowly, unsure of what they were getting into. As soon as the door closed behind them, the walked past them going further into the living room. "Eric, please come!" She shouted."Eric, come out here!" She turned back to them. "Have a sit, he'll be out shortly," she said.They looked at each other, deciding on the offer. "Uh, don't worry, we'll stand," Amanda said. But she shook her head in disagreement, c

    A loud music came from the room, mixed with the voice of cheers and laughter, it also smelled like sex and cigers. Some were watching a football match, few were gathered around a table in a hot discussion, while the rest had girls on their laps, who laughed and giggled at every word being said, funny or not."Terry where is the Boss?" A red haired name Drumbo said as he took a tip from whatever was contained in the red cup he held in his hands."I dunno." Terry shrugged as he scanned round the room, his eyes landing on a particular red haired lady who was already looking at him, she noticed this and flicked her hair, then smiled at him. He smirked as he admired her features, satisfied by what he saw.Drumbo noticed this and laughed, shaking his head. "Trust me, you don't want to go for Alicia Terry.""Why? You interested in her?" Terry asked, his eyes still on Alicia."No.

    "So, what do you think? I wanted to go for the red dress, but I like black," She said looking down at the dress, she looked up at him and spinned round, twerking for hi.Alex laughed. "You look beautiful," Alex told her, watching as she twirled round in the dress, striking up different funny poses for Alex.She laughed and flicked her hair. "I know Alex, I'm an angel." She looked at herself in the mirror and gave a satisfied smile at what she saw. JoJo jumped on the bed and gave a happy whoof. "See, even JoJo agrees."Alex rolled his eyes and walked over to her. "Of course he does, you're an angel. You're also a blue eyed chipmunk." He hugged her from behind as they both looked in the mirror. Suddenly Amanda's happy face transformed to a sad one. Alex noticed this. "What's wrong? Why the sad look?"She looked at him from the mirror, then sighed, turning round to face him. "Why won't you wake up?" She asked with a sa

    "A rabbit!""An ice-cream!""A rabbit licking an ice-cream!" Amanda shouted.Alex dropped his arms in resignation. "Seriously? Is that what it looks like to you?" He said looking over to Martins for help, who was already laughing quietly.Amanda shrugged. "Nope, I just really really wanted some ice-cream...but seriously I thought that was a rabbit." He shook his head and walked over, plopping down beside her."Fine your turn," he said."Finally," she said getting up and walking before them. With a smile, she stretched her arm out like to prance on something, her mouth opened like it was ready to bite."Uh..." Alex was lost as both he and Martins shared a look."A tiger," Martins said.

    Ross Dunn was brought to the book to frustrate Alex's life, no matter how annoying he may be, I really liked Ross.Ross had a really demanding father—who I never talked about—who pushed him into the business Ross found himself today. Making it at a really young age didn't come off as easy as Ross made it seem. He didn't have time for friends or relationships because he was always working to be at the top. When Ross finally got to the top, we can see how grumpy he was, that was due to loneliness, he had it all and discovered that want he truly wanted—happiness, couldn't be bought with money.Ross could be very strict and yet caring at the same time, although being in a relationship is still new to him, he shows he will do anything to hold it by loving his partner, we see this by the gift he buys for her and letting Alex out of the 'commentary section' just to go on a date with her.Ross loves his employe

    My plan for Alex Oliver was to make him as simple as the next man beside us. Alex wasn't hot—he was cute. Alex didn't have any flashy cars—he had a bicycle. He wasn't the CEO of any billionaire company, just a normal twenty seven year old doing his normal stuff.While I didn't really dive much into his past, or the ex girlfriend—who, was actually supposed to show up at some point in the book, but then, I brought out Raphael—but we can all tell Alex Oliver is a momma boy, being so close to his mother made him so thoughtful and respectful towards women, which was why he never told Karen. "Fuck off!"While Amanda is on the Libra side, Alex is a Cancer ♋. He is quite emotional and always looking for true love, Alex is very caring and can also be quiet naive. He loves cuddles, but also love his own personal space, though Alex lacked a little bit of confidence, this was why it took him years to get close to Martins and Stac

    We first got a look at Amanda Walters during the event where she 'accidentally' ran into Alex. Our first thought on Amanda was mischievous, cunny, sharp-mouthed, and beautiful, but we sure as hell didn't expect her to steal Alex's bicycle and grandma's necklace, which she held on to for a really long time.One thing we should all know about Amanda is that she cherish friends and families more than anything else—though she doesn't have much or any friends, the book didn't really show that side—Amanda was willing to go back for Alex, when she heard he was first willing to help her when Torento had her.Amanda had a really rough childhood, we didn't see much concerning her stay in her foster parents house, but judging by the rags Jason found her putting on and the fact that she did run away, shows that she wasn't receiving the best treatment.We also admire Amanda's quick thinking, the whole escape when Terry ca

    "How do you see us in the future Alex?" Amanda asked as she laid on the bed, using her elbows as support, looking at Alex, who was laying on his back staring up at the ceiling."How I see us in the future?" Alex said.She nodded her head. "Before I met you, I had another image set up for my future, kinda darker. But with you here, it has gotten a lot better."Alex smiled. "What 'image' did you have before you met me?"She raised an eyebrow giving him a side smile. "You really wanna know?"He laughed. "Yeah, come on tell me, it can't be that bad.""Ok, well, I see myself in..."*****PRISONThe women sat in the cafeteria, some banging their fist on the table every once in a while trying to get attention, some busy doing sexual acts with their partner under the food stained tables, others were sitting by themselves timidly, some looki

    "Hey mum," Alex greeted, his feet up at his desk as he enjoyed the pleasure of having his own office. Now he had his own personal parking spot, a secretary, and most of all privacy. Now he and Martins could talk for hours without Ross interrupting, though Alex was happy, he really missed staying close to Martins, the two had become really good friends overtime."Hey darling, how is the new office?" She asked. Alex could hear the honking of horns in the background and guessed she probably might be on the road.Alex sighed in joy. "It's really great," he said. "You know...in my own space doing my own thing," he said in a fake British accent."Your own thing? Since when did you have a 'thing'. Also why the funny accent?"He scratched the back of his neck. "No reason, it's just something Amanda does when we... Uh, when we...""Yeah Alex I get what you mean, but just leave the accent to Amand

    Alex walked towards the door to answer it, someone had been pressing the doorbell, he had been ignoring it, hoping the person would leave, but no, some people were just too stubborn.Alex opened the door without asking for who it was, he was met with a dark haired man, he had many tattoo drawing on his arms, an overgrown beard and when he opened his mouth to speak, the scent of alcohol mixed with what Alex suspect was probably illegal hit his nose. He was not bad looking, actually he was very good looking and if he tried, his appearance wouldn't stop people from approaching him."I'm looking for Amanda?" He said. Alex's wondered what business he had with Amanda, he knew all of Amanda's friends, which were very few actually and he had never met him."Who's looking for me?" Amanda had just been passing by when she had heard the voice ask for her."Uh..." Alex didn't know his name."Raphael," the man s

    "I have nothing to say to them Eric," Amanda said as she watched the dishes. "How did they find you by the way?" She asked. Eric said he hadn't been heard anything about the Vegas, her mother's family, after they kicked her out."I still don't know," Eric's voice spoke from the speaker. "But they appeared here yesterday, surprising me myself, demanding they see their grandchildren," he said."Demanding?" Amanda scoffed. "Have they gone cuckoo? What gives them the right to demand? As long as I'm concerned I have no grandparents. Have you spoken to the girls about it?" She asked."I have told Amanda, she refused to see them, I'm yet to tell Elena," He said, referring to Rebecca as Amanda."Well, what did they expect? That they would just show up demanding for us and we'll gladly welcome them with open arms?" she gave a short laugh in disbelief.
