Chapter 88Andrew’s POV“Just tell me why I am here.”“I want us to bring down those guys together and you are the only living witness,” I stated.“You are crazy, I wonder what my daughter sees in you, if you are going to get yourself killed, count me out, I am not interested in dying,my daughter already lost her father, and I don’t want her to lose me.”“That won’t happen, I won’t let you die,” I assured her.“I want to sleep now, I am tired.” She rested on the bed ignoring me, I guess I finally understand where Amanda got her toughness and stubbornness from.I guess it’s time to retreat, at least things are getting better, she knows the truth now and I know she needs time to process everything.I am fully confident she will have to join me in bringing those enemies down, they were the ones who exposed the truth to Amanda knowing it would hurt the most since we never expressed it to her.I returned to my room and ended up being drunk before dozing off.I woke up very late the next mo

Do you know what’s required of us to take out Mrs. Susan Beets from that place? Are you on some drugs or what? I’m lost here. I guess Amanda leaving has really made you insane. Just give me some time, and I’ll talk to her so she can give you a chance.”I sighed, frustrated. “I’m perfectly normal, and I’m not on any drugs, okay? This is the only way out. Something tells me they’re going to hurt her. I really don’t want anything to harm my mother-in-law.”Romeo threw up his hands. “Oh, sweet Lord, help my friend, for he is crazy and out of his damn mind! I’m not supporting you in any suicide missions.
