Camila who was still angry at Amanda decided she wouldn't stop trying to remove Amanda from Gabriel's life so she sought to make Gabriel hate her so she would stay away from him. She planned to set Amanda up and make sure she would not escape it for any reason. She went to a bar to have a drink while thinking about it.All her life she hated Amanda so much and only wanted to see her suffer because that was what she deserved. Losing her mom at a very young age makes her less privileged and a loser to start with.She deserved the maid kind of low life and wasn't meant to experience any form of joy, peace, or happiness, that was what made her make her life a living hell before she finally left home."Why would she think now that she deserves Gabriel when she was still alive, Hale and hearty? All the while they went to high school, she had always been attracted to Gabriel because he was the richest boy in school then but it had always pissed her off that he would always stick and follow
Amanda sat with Gabriel reading a book to him. He had insisted that she do so to keep his company. She was trying her best to do whatever she could to make it up to him as she still felt guilty about the incident that happened and wanted to make sure Gabriel saw that it was never an intentional act but a mere coincidence that they never knew would occur. She never knew the whole stuff was a setup. She wondered if the men which Eric's guards had confessed and what they might say as a reason which made them attack her and Gabriel. She knew that the attack wouldn't come if there was no reason because unless you have offended such a group of people or a person among them, they would never ambush you and try to hurt you. She prayed that whosoever was behind it should be caught because the person just toiled with another person's life and deserved to be punished. She remembered Eric and how he came to their rescue, she also remembered how she yelled at him and immediately she felt very
"Who asked you to do what you did?" The doctor questioned the nurse with rage.She shivered as she avoided the doctor's gaze. She regretted doing what she did and wished she didn't listen to Camilla.She prayed that the doctor wouldn't involve the police."I am asking you a question," the doctor barked which made her shiver."If you don't tell me who asked you to do this, be ready to be locked up in jail because I'm going to involve the police," the doctor said which made the nurse look up immediately."It's the lady looking after him. The lady who brought him to the hospital. She was the one that asked me to do it while she was away so that she would not be suspected," The nurse confessed, lying that Amanda was the one that asked her to do what she did just as Camilla had asked her to do."You mean Miss Amanda?" The doctor said and the nurse quickly nodded."Why do you think I would believe you?" The doctor asked her."I have the recording of everything. I did it should in case she r
"How dare you say such. Can't you see that someone's life is involved and are you in any way meant to handle this case because it clearly shows that you ain't in any way related to being a police or anything profession related to it," Camilla said in anger.Eric looked up at her and looked away, immediately he dragged Amanda out and started leaving."Guards, are you watching her leave? Go after her and do something. The mastermind of this is getting away just like that and y'all ain't doing any," Camilla said to them."I'm sorry, it's beyond our involvement now I hope you and the patient would understand," The doctor replied and started leaving.He knew he wouldn't dare get involved if his life and his hospital still mattered to him. Eric was way more powerful with much influence than even the president of the country and everyone knew that. As he left, he wondered why Camilla would dare slap Eric across the face when she knew who he was.He waved it off and concluded that she might b
Eric led Amanda back to the car. She didn't even struggle to pull him away or pull herself of his grip. She just obeyed.He opened the car door for her and led her in, he got in too, and drove off. He knew that the best place he could take her to was her apartment which he had been keeping a close watch on in case the culprit who had been behind everything that was happening showed up.He also hired people who clean the blood and the words written on the wall of her apartment. They had rearranged it and put a more secure lock before he left the previous day.Amanda couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the hospital, it was still like a shock to her. She couldn't believe that Gabriel believed Camilla's claim when he knew how she was. She was so disappointed in Gabriel and regretted thinking that he was someone she could rely on after he came over to this place.She would have stayed away from him, she said to herself as she blamed herself, if she had stayed away, maybe none of
Eric later left that night, promising the visit the next day after work. He told her not to be scared as he would leave some of its guards around her apartment to guard it and stop whosoever would try to scare her. Amanda thanked him and saw him off to his car.He reluctantly kissed her goodnight before going to his car. Amanda waved him goodbye before he started the car and drove off.She went back to her apartment feeling very excited. She jumped on the bed after having a cool shower thinking about what happened between them.She was still surprised at herself and kept on wondering what gave her such boldness to make the first move. Maybe it was because she could no longer hold it back or she needed comfort at that moment because of what happened but in return, she felt very happy that she had finally let out her feelings and in return, it was reciprocated.She laughed to herself feeling like a high school girl newly in love, she remembered the kiss and how he trailed his tongue on
David Anderson sat behind his desk lost in deep thoughts, for a decade now. He had never won against Eric Adams nor anywhere close to him. He could still remember him as a struggling man who just set up his miserable company.It was still fresh in his memory, he was yet to forget how Eric came to him to seek help that fateful day and he walked him out, only to hear that he had set up his own company three months after the incident.He had laughed at him and also visited him to insult him and remind him where his place was in society which was among the less privileged as he had visioned then but it was a shock to him when Eric's miserable company magically started topping other companies and gaining heights. He had underestimated him and what he was capable of.David had never imagined that someday, Eric's company would be above him, and Eric who used to be the miserable lad became ten times richer and had more influence and fame than him.He has allowed himself to get defeated by Eri
Amanda had gotten to the car park when she saw Camilla rushing into the hospital premises. She stopped at the guard's quarter.She exchanged words with them before heading into the hospital. She got to Gabriel's ward and found him alone on his bed with teary eyes which got her angry."She was here right?" She asked him and walked towards him."I thought she was going to stay off. What did she say to you? Why are you crying?" Camilla asked him as she got closer.She opened her handbag and brought out a scarf. She made use of it to wipe the tears off Gabriel's face but he refused, struggling with her. She got angry and slapped him hard across the cheek."I don't care about your condition. I am only here for your money so don't think that I wouldn't discipline you when you misbehave," Camilla barked in anger.She searched her bag and brought out an injection."This!" She said, showing Gabriel the injection."This can make you lose your legs and remain bedridden for the rest of your life.

ONE MONTH LATERToday was Camilla and Laura's last day at the court for their trial. They stood waiting for the judge to carry out their sentence, which happened. 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. She didn't want them to know yet that she was awake so she quickly closed her eyes."Mother, if we are to do anything, we should be fast about it before she
"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. He quickly got out of bed and looked around for his shoes but couldn't find them. He took a quick look a
