Amanda stood with Eric, both of them staring at each other. Amanda doesn't want to invite him in but Eric wants to go in at least to know what her house looks like.

Their eyes met and they both looked away. Eric tried to say something but found words stuck in his throat. He cleared his throat which made Amanda tense.

"I have to take my leave now," Eric said, scratching his head and feeling awkward like a high school boy visiting his crush's house for the first time.

"Okay… I'm sorry I didn't invite you in," Amanda apologized which made Eric barely smile. He just nodded and turned to walk back to his car. He stole a glance at Amanda who stood there looking at him before entering his car and driving off.

Amanda heaved a sigh of relief, wondering why Eric suddenly wanted to be invited into her house. As she got in she studied around and shook her head. It was nowhere to be compared to his mansion so she didn't think he would end up being comfortable in it.

She sighed as she slumped on t

    Eric stretched as he opened his eyes. He drank himself to sleep last night. He yawned and stood up feeling tired. He was happy that he didn't have a hangover because of the content of the alcohol he took last night. He walked into the bathroom and washed his face before staring at the wall mirror in the bathroom.He saw Amanda's pretty face smiling happily at him, he shook his head and it disappeared. He has been dreaming about them all night and couldn't have a proper sleep as he would wake up at intervals with his name on her lips. He still couldn't figure out why he was feeling this way for him. Now he feels like seeing her again before he leaves for work.He strode out of his bathroom and checked the time, it was just past 6 am and he knew she had extra two hours to resume the day. He sighed out loud and decided to see her before leaving for work.He quickly took a quick shower and walked to his study to attend to some files as he would go late.

    Amanda stood behind the kitchen counter, recalling everything that had happened. She still didn't know why Eric acted that way over a video game. He knew she was doing her job effectively."Was he already angry before he came back from work," she thought, feeling disturbed about everything that had happened? She couldn't even grasp her fingers at what might be the problem and sighed concluding James turned out that way because of his relationship with Eric who only scolds him but doesn't care about his welfare."It's bad for a father to treat his son that way thinking it was right," she thought and sighed. She opened her pot to check the noodles she was preparing.The water was almost dried up so she quickly moved over to the center table to cut some vegetables she wanted to add to the noodles. After about five minutes, she was already done. She inhaled the sweet Aroma she was perceiving from her noodles and smiled and licked her lips expectantly waiting to have a taste.It has been

    The day was very stressful for Eric at the office, he walked into the living room, met Amanda and James, and felt a little bit guilty about what happened the other day. He quietly stood in a corner and watched them studying. None of them noticed him except some domestic staff who quietly continued their duties like they weren't seeing each other anymore. Eric continued watching them as he admired Amanda all over his face but he felt a slight headache and decided to go upstairs to freshen up and have a quick nap. He walked forward towards the stairs and that was when Amanda and James noticed his presence. James flinched and grabbed Amanda's hand which made her notice he was afraid of Eric."Can we go to my room to continue studying?" James asked Amanda in a whisper. His voice was tense and he couldn't even properly put his speech together. It made Amanda sad because it was very bad for a father and son to have such a relationship. She looked at Eric who was now about to climb the

    Eric woke up some hours later and got up. He climbed down the stairs and went to sit down to have his dinner. The domestic staff served dinner and he waited for James to come down but he didn't. He got worried and sent one of the domestic staff to remind James about Dinner.The domestic staff left and came back after some minutes, saying that James refused to open the door for him nor reply to any of the words he said to him. Eric got worried and abandoned the dining table. He climbed up to go meet James.He got to his door and knocked quietly."James it's me, please open the door," He called out but James didn't say anything."Open the door, I want to have a brief conversation with you," Eric said but James still didn't say anything to him.He got worried and started banging the door lightly asking James to open it up. James burst into tears and started sobbing out loud."I don't want to talk to you, please go away," he said to Eric and he became weak."I just want us to have a harml

She grabbed her bag as she finished preparing and started walking out of the house.She saw Eric waiting beside his car as she came outside, she was surprised to see him there. Amanda was left stunned beyond words. Eric barely smiled and signaled her to come closer which she did."Good day Sir," Amanda greeted as she came to stand next to Eric still looking surprised."I know you are surprised," Eric said awkwardly and he scratched his hair. He was also surprised at himself when he decided to come over to her place to see her before he would start leaving for work."Yes I am, what's the reason for the urgent visit Sir?" Amanda asked, still surprised and trying to understand why Eric was waiting outside her house."Can we talk?" Eric said and Amanda looked him directly

Immediately the cab driver stopped at Eric's gate, she quickly rushed into the house to find James, when she got to the living room, there wasn't a trace of James, it looked like he hasn't ever shown his face."Where is James?" She asked one of the domestic staff, looking around eagerly for him and forgetting that he likes the comfort of his room."He must be in his room, he refused to come down for breakfast nor talk to anyone including his father," the domestic staff said which got Amanda more worried."Do you have any prepared food left?" Amanda asked the domestic staff with the thought she would be making James come down to have breakfast."No," the domestic staff replied and Amanda said."Please prepare breakfast for James, he would be coming down soon to have his breakfast," Amanda instructed and climbed up the stairs.

One of the domestic staff handed her a note from Eric which she read."Thank you for the cupcakes, I enjoyed it but please be careful with James when it comes to the kitchen, an accident might occur… but thank you for the cupcakes, it was very nice." The note said.She smiled as she finished reading it which left the domestic staff who handed over the note to her in wonder. She thanked the domestic staff and left for James' room to wake him up. She came earlier than usual and she knew James would be surprised to see her."Hey, sleepy head… wake up," she knocked on the door but no response came. She knocked hard and had to ring the doorbell before James opened the door."Auntie Amanda," he called, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Amanda rubbed his hair before heading into his room."Didn't you sleep last night, why are you still sleepy?" Amanda asked him and James smiled."I was too happy to sleep early so I played some video games until late in

They were sentenced to jail for attempted murder, assault, and other things that were mentioned.Camilla stood in tears as the cops came forward to drag her away. She started wailing at the top of her voice."Please, Amanda, forgive me. I did everything I did because of greed. It wasn't intentional, please it wasn't intentional," She cried out in agony, but Amanda looked away, avoiding her. She was emotional toward Camilla."Amanda, I am sorry for everything I did. Please don't let them take me to jail, please Amanda. I am sorry about everything, the way I treated you too. I know I was a bad person, but please don't allow them to do this to me," Camilla begged on her knees.She looked up when Amanda wasn't saying anything in return. Gabriel was standing beside Amanda, she quickly crawled towards him without shame."Gabriel p

    Camilla and her mother paced up and down in Amanda's private ward, thinking of what to do. They were all alone with no one with them. She thought of how to make Amanda never be awake again. They thought of switching off the machine connected to his body or removing the oxygen for a few minutes, then no one could suspect them.They didn't want her to wake up from a coma, even after miraculously surviving the gunshot wound on her chest. It was time they got rid of her.They planned to have Amanda replaced with Camilla, her sister when she got killed by them. Camilla had been interested in Eric since the day she set her eyes on him. They wanted to kill her while she was still in the coma.Amanda, who had woken up from the coma, opened her eyes. She looked around and noticed Camilla and her mother standing while talking to themselves.

    "What's the update about her finding?" Mr. Greg asked the officer in charge of the search team he sent out to search for Sophia."Nothing sir! Her whereabouts are discreet, we have been searching all over the place for her, but we can't seem to find her yet," The officer reported."You have to hasten up the search for her. She hasn't left the country because I made sure I declared her wanted. She can't leave the country," Officer Greg said."I understand sir, my team and I are trying our best sir," The officer replied."Okay, contact the men working underworld for us to also get to check on them to know about their whereabouts. You know we need to know about it," The policeman said."I understand sir, I will inform them," The man replied before he bowed and left.Officer Greg immediately contacted Eric, who had eagerly been waiting for his call. He wanted Sophia to be found and arrested as soon as possible. The hate he had had for her over the years had just increased so much, especia

    When Eric got to Amanda's private ward, he saw Laura, looking at Amanda with caring eyes, and he was a little confused. His face was flushed with his head tilted back, then without entering Amanda's ward, he went back to where Gabriel was.At least, he needed some explanation why he should fare Amanda's family. They looked harmless to him. "What happens between Amanda and her family in the past?" Eric asked with a raised brow, immediately he got to where Gabriel was."If Amanda hasn't told you about them, then you need to hear it directly from her," Gabriel replied with his fist clenched.At that point, Eric blamed himself for not asking Amanda about her past and her family. It seems everything always revolved around him and James."Like I was saying, you shouldn't trust these women, they are evil. You don't even know their motives for coming here," Gabriel said as he stood with Eric looking at Laura and Camilla who were sitting beside Amanda who had been hospitalized and was receiv

    Eric drove down to the hospital after meeting Officer Greg who promised to help find Sophia. He was worried sick as he rushed down to the hospital panicking. James was hospitalized, just as Amanda was and the thought of it was driving him crazy.He went to and fro thinking of what to do with the situation. It was now very ugly that he didn't know how to handle it.He thought about Sophia and how wicked she was to do all that she had done, especially to her son. He prayed that the policemen would catch her and get her locked up before she escaped.His phone rang, bringing out his thoughts. He checked it, it was Officer Greg. Eric hurriedly picked it up as he was expecting an update about Sophia and David Anderson."How was the search? Did you get her?" Eric asked with hopeful eyes."She escaped before we could find her but don't worry, we would still catch her. She cannot successfully get away from us. About her flying out of the country, we would submit her picture and information and

    On getting close to Anderson's mansion, Eric stopped the car, making the other people do so too."Why are you stopping?" Amanda asked him."It's dangerous, remember the group of dangerous men that were seen entering that building," Eric pointed out."Yeah, I remember," Amanda replied.Eric decided to involve the police in order to have the assurance of safety. He didn't want a case whereby the men would attack and get them injured or hold them captive. He didn't know what Anderson David's plan was and he couldn't tell.He didn't know what he might have planned with Sophia but he knew how dangerous she could be.Eric searched through his phone, looking for the contact of an acquaintance who was a police man, a high-ranked officer in his division. He luckily found it and quickly put a call through him.The police officer picked up after the first ring like he was expecting Eric's call."Hello, Mr Adams! It's been a long time," he said cheerfully over the phone. "How have you been? I kn

    Amanda reached out to Eric to know the situation of things so far in finding James."My secret agent had been trying to reach out to them. He is also looking out for him. I had instructed him to keep an eye on David Anderson, he might be the one making all the moves while Sophia would be watching James," Eric said which Amanda agreed."I will also be doing everything in my power to help out. I and Gabriel had checked almost all the CCTV cameras in search of James. The house is unusually cold. As of today, I don't think James is safe anymore. We got a glimpse of me who came visiting," Amanda reported.Eric informed her of how hard his men were working towards finding James which was very satisfactory to her.He was disturbed himself, he was feeling very bad and had a strong feeling that James wasn't safe too which made him decide to go onlook and in search of him himself. He didn't care if his life would be exposed, besides, Amanda had mentioned he would go with the cops which he had c

    James woke up to the sound of footsteps approaching his room. He knew it was the doctor who had been sent by his mother to inject him with sedatives again. James heard his mother talking to the doctor about the dosage and how she planned to take him along with her to another country just to get bad at his father.James continued to pretend as if he was asleep, hoping the doctor would think he was fast asleep and leave him alone so he could plan his escape.As the doctor entered the room, James kept his eyes closed and listened to his every move. The doctor came closer and stood beside his bed, but James did not move a muscle. After a few seconds, he heard the doctor's footsteps moving away from him. James opened his eyes just in time to see the doctor exit his room, closing the door behind him and he moved, knowing that his plan worked out.James knew this was his chance to escape.
