BACK IN TEXAS Camilla was in her room when she was receiving Gabriel's call. Suddenly she dropped her phone and began to shiver in fear. She couldn't believe that Gabriel had talked to her like that but thinking about his serious threat made her shiver in fear. She had a feeling that Gabriel would report her to the police and she didn't want Gabriel to report her to the police because she knew that would ruin her life if he did. "I'm dead if he reports everything to the police," Camilla muttered and wrapped her knees with her arms, shivering to herself on the chair. Beads of Sweat began to drip down her skin, her face was pale as she bit her lower lips fearfully. "What should I do? What should I do?" Camilla asked herself fearfully. Suddenly the room door opened from outside, and her mother came in. Camilla's mother immediately rushed toward Camilla upon seeing her condition. She immediately bent in front of Camilla worriedly."What's wrong with you, Camilla? Why are you sweati
I will be leaving now," Gabriel said to Amanda while watching Amanda lovingly, which Amanda doesn't seem to notice. Amanda nodded and waved him off with a smile. Eric in his hiding spot continues to watch them until Gabriel departs from the house and Amanda enters the house. "Where's Eric?" Amanda asked when she caught no sight of him in the living room. "He left the dining room a long time ago. I think he's waiting at the car park" Mrs. Robinson replied to Amanda which made her nod and look around. Amanda said goodbye to Mrs. Robinson and Bella then left with James to meet Eric inside the car. The drive to the mansion was a quiet one as Eric concentrated on the road with a lot of thoughts running through his mind, especially Gabriel. Immediately they got to the mansion, got out of the car, and walked in. Eric received a call from his assistant and he got busy immediately on his laptop, forgetting about James and Amanda's presence which annoyed Amanda a little, seeing him
"Why I'm I missing Anna so much," Marcus muttered to himself with a smile on his face. Even when he was at work, Marcus couldn't help but think about her. Anna always lives rent-free in his head and he always likes it that way. Marcus immediately rolled his sleeves and tapped on the search engine. He searched on posts on how to make your woman happy but after some searching, he placed his phone down because none of it seems like something Anna would like."They said it doesn't matter how much you spend on a gift, it matters on the heart," Marcus muttered. He suddenly smiled thinking that Anna would like a gift he thought from his heart rather than something he went to search for on the internet. He was thinking about something that would make her happy, then he remembered Anna's apartment. Marcus really doesn't like how Anna's apartment was. Would she be comfortable in that apartment, he knew she wouldn't so he can start from there. He'd start from there. Marcus thought and quic
"Where could Anna be?" Amanda thought worriedly and immediately rushed out of her apartment and decided to go look for Anna in their house."Hey." Amanda knocked on the door but she heard no reply instead what she got in reply was a silent sob which made her frown She twisted the door knob and the door opened which shows that the door wasn't looking. Amanda walked into the house intending to tell Anna that Marcus was worried about her but she was surprised to see Anna and her aunt kneeling on the floor."You cheap beggars, you still don't have our money today, do you? If you don't pay our money today, we are going to break every single thing in the house." Two men yell and threaten Anna and her aunt. One of the men was fat and short while the other was thin and tall. The men continue to yell at Anna and her aunt to pay up the money they borrow which made Anna's aunt's children begin crying "You damn leeches. You know I owe you no more. You're just trying to suck money off us. We
"Are you okay?" Eric asked Amanda with a worried expression. Since the incident with the loan sharks a few minutes ago, Amanda had fallen quiet."I'm fine," Amanda uttered in a sincere voice but Eric doesn't believe her."Let's check that in the hospital," Eric uttered worriedly."Eric, I'm really fine," Amanda replied."No. You look weak and that seems worrying. I have to take you to the hospital to check your health." Eric says with a frown but Amanda who wasn't sick and was just trying to take a rest replies. "Eric I'm really fine I don't want to go to the hospital." Despite Amanda's protest, Eric asked the driver to drive to the hospital, and at the end of the day, she had no option but to follow him to the hospital Inside a white ward, Amanda was being diagnosed by the doctor. A few minutes later, the doctor was done and he placed his stethoscope on his neck "Doctor, is she fine?" Eric asked worriedly. The doctor nodded and smiled, "Yes Mr. Eric, Miss Amanda is doing fine. Y
It was very quiet in the car except that there was the sound of Eric angrily typing on his keyboard. Eric was extremely silent which made the atmosphere in the car weird and made Amanda more worried. And that made her curious and want to know more about Eric's ex-wife. Both of them soon arrived at Amanda's apartment and Amanda quietly stood up from the car to get down from the car but before she could, she saw Eric staring at her solemnly."Goodnight. I'm leaving." She muttered calmly."Okay." Eric nodded. "Good night." He said and continued to stare at her.Amanda was taken aback but she waved at him. "You can leave," Amanda told Eric. Eric shook his head because he wanted to see her enter the house, first. "I want you to enter the apartment in my presence." He said which made Amanda chuckle. Even though Eric was angry he still cared about her safety and tried to prevent Amanda from staying outside."Okay. Good night." Amanda told Eric and shut the car door not wanting to delay h
Eric carried Amanda to bed and checked her pulse, luckily she was still breathing. He picked up the phone to call his family doctor to come to check up on her.He was a little bit panicking as he dialed the doctor's phone number."Hello, Mr. Adam!" The doctor's voice came from the other side."Hello, please can you come over? My girlfriend needs your attention, she passed out all of a sudden," Eric explained."Okay, have you checked her pulse to know if she is still breathing?" The doctor asked."Yes I have and she is breathing. Please leave whatever you are doing and come over right now," Eric urged, pacing up and down the room."I will be on my way immediately, Mr. Adam," the doctor said before Eric ended the call, breathing in relief as the doctor agreed to come.She looked at Amanda who was still unconscious and continued pacing up and down the room, thinking of what to do.She was healthy and looked healthy, he remembered that they had gone to visit the hospital together previous
James went to Amanda's room to check up on her immediately after he got out of bed. He met her while still asleep in her room.She had woken up as the doctor stated but she was too weak to have a discussion with him which forced him to stay away and later retire to his room feeling sad. He hoped to talk with her the next day but she was still asleep.James decided not to go to school so he would stay with her at home. He went to the living room to sit and watch TV.Eric, who had walked down the stairs to get something from the kitchen, saw James sitting on a couch. He was still dressed in his pajamas and looked like he wasn't going to school.He headed towards his direction and came to stand in front of him after switching off the TV."You should be preparing for school, James," Eric said looking at him."Auntie Amanda is still not sound. I don't want to go to school, I want to look after her here at home," James said with a sad expression."James, I understand how you feel but she wi

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
