Chapter 62Andrew's POV I was happy she bought my stories and also, Layla is aware of the truth but before I could bring my wife publicly and do a proper wedding for us, I need to bring the Dark Circle to book, I feel I am kind of sluggish these days, I need answers as soon as possible because I don't want my wife to feel I am keeping a distance.I woke up to an empty bed, at first I thought my wife was taken away while I was asleep because I slept so deeply.I rushed out and I saw her sitting with her laptop, I felt better but seeing the way she closed her laptop, seems she was up to something but what exactly?Immediately she told me she had to reply to a few emails, I stopped thinking otherwise.I made sure everything was sorted at home like giving her breakfast, I got a text from Romeo saying he was around and we needed to dig out my father's old office that was locked, I knew it would be a long day so I didn't know when I will be returning home, so I just told her I will be late
Chapter 63Andrew's POVImmediately they fired the gun,they left with speed,I really can't explain what just happened but I thought I lost my friend,then I notice it was powder dust, meaning this is a warning."I am sorry I had to shock you that way,last warning because next time a real bullet will take down your friend and your beautiful wife,I can see she is enjoying herself at home,do you also want me to pay her a visit?”"Stay away from my wife,if anything should happen to her,know this,I will find you and you will be the first person I will kill.”"You know you are bluffing,talk to your soon Walter.” He ended the call and I was really angry.I rushed to my friend and helped him to the car,when the security finally stepped out,I told them to get me the footage of those power bike,I believe it should have plate numbers on them as well.I entered the car and said to my friend,"I am truly sorry for involving you in my mess.”"Come on friend,this is not your fault, those bastards can'
Chapter 64Amanda's POV I am really lost here, what exactly is going on that I need to know at once?I took a deep breath wondering what went wrong. Was I too direct? Maybe I should have maintained a friendship with him before asking him that kind of question, this is so weird and I really don't know what to do.Who is Andrew Walter, is it that difficult to know who my husband really is and what he is capable of doing as well? Everything just sucks and I am tired.I made an attempt to call the doctor again but for no reason, I didn't since I am home today, let me do some work on my laptop to get myself busy, In the meantime, I am tired of starting afresh with companies, it makes me wonder, why don't I just start with my brand by airing a few entertainment online, I guess people will love it, they always love me so doing that won't be a problem right? I asked myself and I spent a lot of time on my laptop without blinking.I drank my orange juice in the process and about to wrap things
Chapter 65Amanda's POV"Okay baby, let's go then, as long we are both together always, then I have no problem at all.”"That's my wife.” He kissed me and we took our time to pack up our things, while doing that, we heard a knock at the door."I will go and get that,” I said in a rush because I was certain maybe someone had come to make a delivery for him.I opened the door in a hurry and I was shocked to see Layla and her husband Nate."Layla, I didn't know you were coming,” I said because I wasn't expecting her and her husband."Come here love.” she hugged me."Well, she did call you but you weren't answering your calls,” Nate added."I bought pizza.” She said and they both came in, then I realized I left my phone on the table in the living room."Wow, pizza time it is, sorry I didn't pick up your call, I wasn't with my phone.“ I apologize."Hey, Man.” Andrew shook hands with Nate and they were really happy to meet both of us at home but I noticed Andrew was not comfortable with it
Chapter 66Andrew's POVI didn't expect to see Nate and Layla, it was an unexpected visit to me, but there is nothing I can do but bear a little, I hope no one comes in here to harm us, I will keep observing.While eating, my wife and I argued and it was unlike us, or maybe I am just reacting, nothing is going on with us, I am just impatient and need to leave here as soon as possible so I can get home and check what is inside the laptop so I know if it can be of help to me.After having pizza, Layla went in to meet Amanda, I was left with Nate."So man, what exactly is eating you up? The ladies are not here now so you can talk to me,” he said to me."Guess it was too obvious.”"Exactly, so tell me, are you having issues at the company? Don't tell me you are going bankrupt?”"Hell no, I can never get bankrupt, I know the wealth my father argued while he was alive and I also know the double wealth I acquired immediately after I took over at an early age.”"Good way to brag to me.” He ad
Chapter 67Andrew's POV"How long have you been standing here?” I asked her because I needed to be sure she heard nothing at all."Oh, I just got here and I didn't know you were there, you left me alone for hours since we got back.” She gave me a sad look and I was angry with myself, I allowed myself to get carried away by finding out the truth, forgetting my wife was all alone in the room."I am sorry babe.” I tried to hug her but she stopped me."I am so pissed at you, you should have told me you brought me here to leave me lonely.” "Baby, come on, why are you overreacting? It hasn't come to that yet.” I said to her thinking she would calm down a bit."Now you think I am overreacting right? It's no problem at all, good night, I am going to bed.” she walked out of me angrily and I rushed to meet up with her."I am so sorry, I didn't mean to sound that way!! Please.” She gave me deaf ears and entered the room like an angry bird, she jumped on the bed and took the blanket to cover wit
Chapter 68Writer's POVImmediately Layla and Nate entered the car, they bid goodbye to Andrew and Amanda, as they drove home."Pizza was great.” Layla smiled at her husband."Yes, it was great, I guess we all had fun but it was the wrong timing, if only you had listened to me,” Nate added."Come on baby, I wanted us to have a good time like the four of us.”"But we were uninvited to their home, remember, I am glad they are not angry with us at all, it went well, that's the thing of joy.” He added."Yes, it is, if she had answered her cell phone, she would know we were coming and moreover I was also worried because she always picks up her phone calls and I called her, but I got no response at all.”"You are full of drama.” He stated."So, what are we going to be doing this week?” She asked."Humm, tough question, let's get home first of all and then we can talk about it, how about that?”"Okay, let me take a short rest, wake me up when we get home.”"Sure, I will do that, you need the
Chapter 69Andrew's POVI...I!!!” I stuttered, I didn't even know what to say, she just caught me."You are now stuttering? Come on Andrew, why can't you cover up this time around? Tell me. Do you plan to lie again?”"Baby, please listen to me, it's not what you think, please.”"Enough, you don't have the right anymore to tell me that, why on earth should I listen to you? Tell me now, you bloody liar!!” She yelled I had never seen her react this way before, what would I do? Who on earth sent her those pictures? Are they trying to get into her head so she will never trust me "I am sorry okay, I didn't mean to lie to you.”"Oh really? You don't mean to lie? Ever since we left for Canada and returned, everything you said to me was a lie and here I was thinking, believe him, he loves you and will never keep anything from you.” Suddenly tears left her eyes and I wasn't expecting things to lead to this state."I am really sorry babe, let's talk about this.”"There is nothing to talk about
Chapter 91Andrew's POV Amanda is pregnant and now they are both in danger, I have failed woefully.What am I going to do now?"We have no choice,” Romeo said to me and I felt so bad because it's all over, I don't know where to start again."Just call it off, I will be going home.”"I will do that now but you wait for her, make sure you don't do anything stupid okay.”'"Fine I will watch someone take Mrs Susan home.” I assured him and he took his leave.I sat in my chair like a failure. My wife is pregnant and I have no means to save her, what if he changes his mind and kills her this evening? What am I going to tell Mrs Susan Beets after I promised her, would protect her and her daughter?Father, I tried my best but it turned out that it's not working at all, what should I do? You told me to act smart and I did, maybe I am not smart enough. I don't think I will be able to do what you want. I have failed as a husband and a son and also as a father to my unborn child.Romeo retu
Chapter 90Amanda's POV I opened my eyes and found myself in an empty room, I felt so weak and it took me some seconds to realize that I had been kidnappedI started banging at the door screaming, "Let me out of here, please let me go.” I continued hitting the door but got no response.I fell to the ground in tears wondering what my fate would be. Are they going to kill me or what?A few moments later, the door opened revealing a guy in a mask and he gave me some food, "Eat.” He said and trying to leave I begged him."Please let me go, you got the wrong person, I haven't done wrong to anyone.”"Your fate will be decided by the boss but for now, the boss wants you to eat, I will return soon to check on you.” He added walking away and locking the door from the outside.What if this food is poisoned? I am not going to eat anything from it, I rather remain starving than eat what Is going to make me meet my early death.I noticed I was feeling sick again, and also about to fall asleep ove
Chapter 89Amanda's POV Daddy, I am sorry once more, can you ever forgive me? I suddenly felt sick and passed out after two days.The day I turned on my phone, I got a call from Layla, I never told her what was going on, what if I shared this with her so she could also advise me?Damn, this is so insane, I would say."Hello Layla,” I said feeling so weak."Hey you, you are sounding so weak, are you sick?” She asked of me and I nodded my head."Not at all, I am okay.”"Okay, I want to invite you for dinner and I won't take no for an answer.”"I am sorry, I will pass.” I replied, what if she gets troubled seeing me this way? It's really not good, I love Layla and she is my best friend, can I avoid her forever when she did nothing wrong?"Are you serious right now?” She asked again and I gave a conclusion of coming to have dinner with her and her family.She ended the call when I told her I needed to get a little rest before I started coming. I looked at a few pictures on my phone and
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.
Chapter 85Andrew’s POV“Please son, forgive me, don’t hate me as your father and for my lovely wife, if you are still alive please forgive me but if you don’t also make it, I will forever never forgive myself because I brought all these upon us, I miss us so much mostly when we all go on vacation, I will always cherish the good memories, I need to go now, I hope you find this recording soon.”I cried my eyes out when the video finished playing, a hand touched my shoulder to calm me down, it was Romeo.“Stop crying, now we have the truth in front of us and also a prove that your father is not a killer, he just got carried away for some time, he tried to do the right thing but was killed by that bastard, we are going to take him down with the others, now we have the names.” He said clutching his fist.“Yes you are right and I am just crying because I didn’t have much faith in my father, I actually believe he was a killer, yes he is the founder but I am glad he never killed with his han
Chapter 84Writer’s PovYears ago.Andrew's father went inside his secret room to make a video,he set the camera and took a deep breath before he started recording."Hey son,how are you? Confused right? 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? My son In case I don’t make it, it’s okay if you can’t forgive me but I need you to promise me you will destroy the evil I created with my hands.” He brought out a file i
Chapter 83Andrew’s POV“Thank you so much, Layla,you are the best, I knew I could count on you.”“That’s why we are family, so eat up and you are going to stay for dinner as well.” She said to me and I nodded.“Your cookies are nice as always.”“I am glad I haven’t lost my touch yet.”I finished having cookies with her and then she told me I could relax in the guest room while she tried to talk to Amanda to cover over for dinner.I was so happy about it, finally I am going to see my wife, I hope she gives me a chance to talk so I can set things right with her.I didn’t know when I dozed off in the room,I was awakened by Nelson telling me mom wanted to see me in the dining.I had to wash up my face immediately then stepped out of the room,” Hey man, how are you feeling? Layla told me everything.” Nate said to me after shaking hands with me.“Thank you for hosting me even if it was impromptu.”“Oh come on, we are one family.”“So you are not going to avoid me since my father is a kill
