"Really?" He gave a wicked smile. "Well, you also happen to do stupid things too, lots and lots of stupid things." He stood up, making Amanda to lean back in her chair when she thought he was coming to her, but he turned around and walked to the window. "Stealing from me," he gave a low laugh. "You've got some gut girl, I would give you that. But it's also your gut that would get you killled." Amanda froze as the last words left his mouth. He turned around and walked away from the window, he walked over to the seat he was in and sat down.
Amanda didn't know much, but she knew she didn't want to die, she wasn't ready to die, she was just twenty five, she still had many more years to go

Amanda clicked her tongue, staring at the young man right in front of her. "You know, for someone as cute as you, it sucks that you are out of your head."He raised an eyebrow, his face spelling out confusion. He sighed and shook his head. "Would you just untie me Amanda, I have an itch and I can't scratch it," He said."Fine!" She stood up. "But if you try anything funny, I am not weak, I will burst your balls." She sent him a warning look."My balls? Why would you try to destroy a man by bursting his balls?" He asked in disbelief."What's a man without his balls," She murmured and went behind the young man. She reached down and worked her fingers through the rope tying him."So," He said as she untied him. "Are you ready to tell me what happened after I was taken?""I don't know what you're talking about psycho, if this is an act they told you to put up to

"There has to be another way out of here," Amanda said while searching around."If there was a way out of here they wouldn't have left you unchained and even if there was, it should be blocked, those men are evil, not stupid." Just as the last word left his mouth, they heard a clanking noise."What's that?" Amanda asked alarmed."Someone is coming," Jerry told her. Quickly she rushed back to the place she was seated. They heard chains being pulled back and locks and bolts too. Just how many locks do that door have? Amanda wondered.Finally the noise stopped and what came next was the creaking sound of the door being opened, Amanda turned around to see who had entered, her eyes widened when she saw it was Don Torento, she looked back at Jerry who was groaning at the injuries from the beatens he had received.Torento looked down at her from the top of the stairs, two of his men were behind him.

"Move it!" Terry barked, Josh and Alex walking few feets before him, hands in the air, while he pointed a gun at their backs. "Boss would be so glad to see you Torento, we've got Amanda already, you're like dessert.""What am I?" Alex murmured under his breath. "I want to be something."Terry led them into the house, Alex looked round at the faces of the people in the living room. They stopped what they were doing immediately they saw Terry walk in with the two men."Welcome our new friends!" Terry announced in a loud voice."Josh?" One of them said then laughed. "Where did you find him hiding Terry?""Oh, I didn't find him hiding, in fact, he came right here."Josh rolled his eyes. "If you're going to kill us then just do it right away.""Woah, woah, hold on a minute," Alex said shooting Josh a look, then looking at Terry he gave a small laugh. "He doesn't me

"So you're saying Alex and Jude-""Josh.""Right... that guy, so they went back to go get us, but since Psycho and I already escaped...""What should we do?"Amanda slammed her palm on her forehead. "Call your boyfriend Jake and tell him to abort the mission.""Right!""What if they already have them?""Stop talking!" Amanda snapped. "This whole thing is creeping me out and hearing me talk and knowing it's not actually me talking is not helping the situation.""Fine," Amanda muttered. "Come on Jerry, let's go home.""What? You can't leave.""I have no business here again, and I have a job and a town I need to get back too.""Josh didn't want to help, and from what I understand you were the one that dragged the Alex dude over here, all to help your best friend.

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.

"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. Amanda shook her head and wiggled her butt, she frowned, looking angry."Alex the dancing Lion?" Alex said, his voice unsure.She sig

Con Ross and Jason
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
Con A LOOK INTO ALEX OLIVER'S LIFE
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
Con A LOOK INTO AMANDA WALTERS
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.
