I am the type of boss that doesn't talk much but do not step on my toe else you will get taken care of."So, are you two back together now?”"Not yet, she is playing hard to get,” I replied."What? After everything you did for her, she is still not welcoming you? I guess women are really complicated.”"You can say that again, but trust me, she looks so beautiful anything she appears in that mood, I don't get angry at all instead I am triggered to get closer to her and love her.”"You are already a finished man, anyway good luck with everything with her, and I will make sure I handle everything over here, and settle your love life.”"I will do that, also contact any of the guys,
Chapter 37Amanda's POVMy mom reacted so differently that alerted the nurses, they decided to take her to her room thinking she was worse now, I went with them immediately."Mom, it's me your daughter, stop being scared, no one can harm you.”"The enemy is here, don't be deceived.” My mom added and I was really confused, I thought my mom was already improving but with what just happened, it is clear enough my mother is not getting any better at all."Mom, I will check up on you tomorrow so please get better for me and stop being afraid, no one will be able to harm you,” I assured her before she was taken in fully.How did Andrew manage to find me by the way? I was going to kill myself, if he hadn't shown up, I believed by now, I would still be better, it was clear he was following me, coming out of the place I was, Andrew approached me,"Amanda, I...I..”"Enough Andrew, now you know my mom is insane, go on, laugh at me, say all the trash to my face, and give up loving me,” I yelled a
Chapter 38Andrew's POV I woke up the following morning feeling more like myself because my love is back with me, now she is with me, I need to give it my all so I don't end up losing her again.I loved how relaxed she was mostly how she rested on my chest holding me as if she were a newborn baby.I kissed her forehead as she was still fast asleep then I decided to make a quick call so she wouldn't know about it.I left her on the bed and covered her properly with the blanket, I admired her again and again, gosh she is so beautiful I must say, I am so lucky to have her.I walked out of her bedroom to the living room to make a phone call, I looked around to make sure she wasn't there then I called Romeo."Morning man,” I added."Really? Are you not sleeping? Why are you calling me this early, I am not your woman for heaven's sake.”"You are still annoying, well my woman is fast asleep but there is something you must do for me and I will be needing you here.”"Okay man, talk to me, wha
Chapter 39Amanda's POVI guess loving someone is something everyone must experience, no matter how hard-working a woman gets or the money that gets into her bank account, at the end of the day, she needs that true love and care.I was just too scared to get closer to love but look at me now, I am foolishly in love with Andrew, I hope he doesn't break my heart. He is everyone's dream man and I will break any lady's leg once I see them making advances on my man, I will not tolerate it at all, my jealousy rate at this hour is beyond control, I can be like a mad dog.We were just relaxing as usual when he played with my legs, suddenly I heard a knock at the door so I got on my feet going to get it.Opening the door, I saw Morgana, Smith's wife standing at my doorstep with Smith and his annoying father."What do you all want here? Are you here with the paparazzi to ruin me again? Answer me??” I yelled and was ready to lose my cool.“Honey, it's everything okay?” Andrew hugged me from beh
Chapter 40Amanda's POVMom, all I need from you is to get better okay, I can take care of myself.”"Andrew is evil, divorce him.” My mom added.I busted into a burst of serious laughter, how can my mom be so sure that Andrew is evil when she barely knows him?I now understand how serious my mom's mental health is, she feels every guy is a bad person."Mom, forget about Andrew, all I need from you is to get better then we can have so much fun out here,” I said to her."But he is evil, he will hurt you.” She added and I am happy again because my mom's sanity of affection for her only daughter is still intact, she feels maybe Andrew might end up hurting me but that's a big lie, I am the one who hurt Andrew in the past and if my mom sanity returns, I am sure she won't be happy about what I did."Mom,won't you prepare me for prom.” I requested changing the topic immediately and she nodded her head.I love my mother so much, if only life was not cruel to us all, I believe she would have be

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
Chapter 87Andrew’s POVI never knew I was on the floor for more than ten minutes and even the lady who brought the divorce papers already left.“What happened?” Romeo inquired from me.“She wants to end the marriage,” I replied.“That’s not possible, maybe it’s a prank, where is the camera?” He asked checking around the premises.“It’s not a prank at all, the lady who came in was her lawyer and the painful part of it all, she didn’t bring it herself, does she hate me so much that she is finding it really difficult to face me?” I questioned myself over and over again.“She doesn’t hate you, I guess she is acting based on her emotions, we will look for her and sort everything out.”“I will call her again, give me your phone, if she blocks my number,I believe I will be able to reach her with yours,” I suggested and he gave me his phone immediately.We walked to the living room together, I placed a call to Amanda but it kept disconnecting, don’t tell me she has turned off her phone.I tr
Chapter 86Andrew’s POV“Okay, fine. This is the plan, Plan A. We need to kidnap Mrs. Susan Beets from that mental home,” I said, looking at Romeo with determination.Romeo’s eyes widened in shock. “WHAT?!” he exclaimed, his voice echoing off the walls.I stood my ground, knowing this was the only way. “That’s the only option we have now.”Romeo shook his head, incredulous. “Are you crazy? 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.

Don’t worry this video will answer everything and I hope you forgive me after watching it. I will possibly be dead by then, I was one of those who actually founded the Dark Circle.“He took a deep breath after saying that and looked at the lens of the camera recording, “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to leave such a terrible reputation behind, I was carried away with greed without bringing myself to reason like how you would expect your father to act ”Tears left his eyes and he wiped them off, “I have failed you and your mother, I really want to protect you two, that’s my greatest wish so far, will I be alive to do so?
