Chapter 92Nate’s POVI could have kissed Layal but Wilson had to interrupt with his call, when I leave here, I am going to make sure I deal with him for ruining such a beautiful moment for me.I drove her to the Estate and with the way she admired the entire place I can tell she loves it. She was so natural to me while talking and it made me remember how sweet she was when she was much younger though she changed, it was because of me.I got a beep that my surprise for Layla was ready, I hoped this would show her that I still wanted her in my life but she was in a hurry to leave so I said to her, “Not yet, come with me, I have something to show you.” I held her hands though I thought she might hit my hands off as usual but she didn’t do it.“Come sit,” I said to her with a smile when we walked into the special room and I could tell that she liked it.“Okay, I am certain anyone that comes to meet this will love it, we can use this very idea to set up Valentine dates for intending coupl
Chapter 93Layla’s POVWhen he left, I had to text my driver to pick me up and take me to the hotel.I took a walk around and felt bad about the whole thing, none of this was my fault, the deal had been done but why was Nate making a fuss about everything?I am glad I didn’t tell him about our son, he will go crazy and want to take him from me. I can do this, just a few more days and I am done with this tour then I can return to my life in Canada, resume work at the hospital and schedule dates for other surgeries.“I love you, Layla, how do you expect me to move on when I need you so bad, tell me, what am I supposed to do?” His words played in my head all day and even while I tried to watch a TV at the hotel to get my mind off things, I still couldn’t stop hearing Nate’s voice then it occurred to me that Nate might be drinking again because of me.I grabbed my phone immediately and almost placed a call across to Nate but for some reason I held my peace saying, it’s none of my business
Chapter 94Layla’s POV“I am so happy to see you my dear Layla.”“Me too, ma’am, I have missed you so much, you were like a mother to me,” I said in much excitement.“Awww, you sure know how to make me blush Layla, I wished I had a daughter like you.” She added.“Thanks, ma’am.”“I didn’t know you were in town, let’s not just stand here all through, why not come with me, let’s have chicken and chips together, I missed the time we normally have that.” She said with a big smile on her face.“Sure, now you mentioned it, Mrs Daniel, I think I am craving for it already .” There is no way I can say no to her, even if I am not on good terms with her son. Also, Nate’s mom was like a mother to me, sometimes I wished my mom never abandoned me and my dad, maybe my dad might still be alive, but I should not be thinking of that now.I entered her car and we drove to a restaurant nearby and we ordered chicken and chips with drinks.Whenever we are together, we always love to order chicken, “This is
Chapter 95Layla’s POV“Do you really love him like you love me, Layla, tell me the truth and I won’t judge.” He said in a flirty tone and I couldn’t see myself having the right answer, what does this mean?“Look into my eyes Layla and tell me the truth.” He drew me closer trying to kiss me and his mom's voice broke in, “You both look cute together.” I stood up immediately trying to explain but Nate’s mom didn’t even give me time to say anything, she gave us thumbs up and walked away.“Your mom is getting the wrong picture.”“No she is not, she is seeing two souls in love in here, it’s obvious you want me.”“Nate!”“You yet to give me an answer.”“I have nothing to say to you.”“So you love me?”“Nate, I am leaving.”“I see you don’t want to tell me but we both know the truth deep down and it is rooted in our hearts that you love me and I have never stopped loving you, I don’t care if you are sleeping with him, all that matters for me now is the present and our future.”“Good bye Nate
Chapter 96Layla’s POVI got ready to leave for Canada but I had to meet up with Amanda at the hotel restaurant since my flight was around 12:30.“Did you get enough sleep last night?” Amanda questioned looking at my face.“Yes, I slept so well.” I lied to her.“You are lying, look at your eyes. You look like someone who didn’t sleep a bit last night, you can’t return to Andrew this way.” She said.“You are right, I just couldn’t sleep, I feel like a bitch right now.” Tears left my eyes.“Don’t tell me it’s Nate again?”“You are always right Amanda, I saw Nate’s mom yesterday and went to the hospital to visit Nate’s father.”“Is his father sick?”I nodded and took my time to explain everything to her and she emptied the bottle of water she was drinking.“Wow this is tough, I really don’t know what to say right now, I am confused, you got a complicated love story, stuck with two men.”“No, I am not stuck, I already made a choice and I am going for Andrew, my son loves him.”“What? you
Chapter 97Nate’s POVI woke up the next morning and I realised I slept at the hospital and a blanket was used to cover me, I guess I made Mom worried again.“Care for some hot tea?” Mom said to me coming in with a cup of tea.“Good morning Mom.”“Good morning son, this is for you, just how you like it.” My mom said passing the hot chocolate tea to me.“Thank you, mom.” I sat down properly.“Nate, remember I am here for you, if you want to talk about it, I am always here, just know that.”“Thank you mom, I will keep that in mind.”After drinking the tea, I talked with my father, “Hey Dad, how are you doing this morning? I will be leaving now to get ready for work. I haven’t lost Layla yet, I will win her heart big because if I lose her dad, I might end up dying.” I said remembering the words she said to me when she left yesterday.I tried her number again, same thing, but it was turned off, I don’t even know the hotel she is in right now and it’s too late to start looking for it as
Chapter 98Layla’s POV“Are you seeing someone else?” He asked looking so sad, damn it, what do I do.“What do you mean by that Andrew? Are you calling me a cheat now? Just because I told you I am not in the mood for sex?” I yelled at him.“I am sorry Layla, I know I might be feeling insecure but I just felt something is wrong.”“There is nothing wrong, you are just assuming things I can’t do to you, I care for you is that not enough, you making me so angry right now, I need some air.”“Layla, I said I am sorry, I am not above mistakes and I also have feelings, blood flows through my veins so don’t be upset, it will sadden my heart, please.” He begged me, and held my hands in the process and I hate the fact he is just too sweet and kind, why can’t he be angry at me and yell at me? Even if I am the one at fault he never gets angry, he still says sorry, I am sick of all this.“Let go of me, I hate you for being so perfect.” I didn’t know when I said these words to him, “I will be sleepi
Chapter 99Nate’s POVI finished telling Andrew what I planned to do and he screamed, “What? Are you insane? Like have you lost your mind already?”“I guess I have,” I replied with a smile.“You are crazy, I must say.” He said with all seriousness and I took my seat thinking about it.“I admit what I am doing is crazy but I love Layla, I need to fight for love.”“And you think is the best way to fight for love? Well, I wish you luck, I know I always tell you the truth but at the same time, I can never let you be sad, I know for years now you got eyes for just Layla and it will be difficult to let her go but I got just one question for you.”“Bring it on, I will answer as long the question is something I can respond to.”“If the trip to Paris fails and she goes back to Andrew, will you give up on Layla and face a new life without her?”I stood up and took a walk thinking about the whole thing, there was no way I could imagine a life without Layla, if I failed, I would die single, and
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.

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
