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
Eric went to the club to meet Marcus after he rounded up what he was doing in the office. He followed the address sent by Marcus. He met Marcus waiting patiently at a table in the club for him.They exchanged pleasantries before he joined him."What took you so long Man?" Marcus asked him. Eric has stayed almost an hour instead of thirty minutes to show up."I had more documents to check out. I had to carefully scan through them in order to avoid making a mistake. My apologies," Eric said as he grabbed the wine bottle and helped himself."Okay, how is Amanda doing? I could remember you calling me last night to tell you about how she passed out when you guys got home," Marcus said as he remembered when Eric called him the previous night, informing him about what happened with Amanda.He was the one that gingered him to find out who was after Amanda's life in order to stop everything that was happening to her.Eric had agreed and decided to hire another secret agent, adding to the one h
Sophia sat lazily in the sitting room, attending to her nails while thinking of everything that happened in Eric's company. He had refused her to go in so they could meet. She laughed as she knew he can never avoid her forever because there is a child between the both of them.She knew she had betrayed him in the past and deserved any ill-treatment he would give her but at least she only requested an audience between them. She wasn't going to kill him or take James away. She laughed as she continued thinking about it, knowing that one day Eric would be forced to face her. She would make sure of that.She waved for a maid to come over and the maid did. "Prepare my bath. I want to have a bath in the next thirty minutes. Let's be warm. Add a lot of scented flowers and nerve calming antidotes okay?" She instructed."Yes ma'am!" The maid said and bowed before leaving to carry out Sophia's instruction.She looked at her beautiful milky skin and fine long legs which she adored so much. It
It was a bright beautiful morning. Eric decided to make it up to James for what happened between them by driving him to school.After James was done preparing for school, he walked into his room to meet him. He met him arranging his books into his backpack. On sighting Eric, James frowned. He was yet to forget what happened, he knew his dad was there to apologize but he chose to act like he didn't see him come inside."Good morning son!" Eric cheerfully called out as he strode to him with a charming smile plastered on his face. James looked away and pretended like he didn't hear Eric. He continued arranging the books into his backpack."Hey! I know you are still angry about what happened yesterday. I am here to apologize," Eric said, standing beside him while looking at him.James didn't look at him and still continued arranging the books, acting like he wasn't there with him."C'mon son, I am sorry. I apologize. Don't try to act so stubborn," Eric said to him and placed his hand on t
"Why are you here?" Eric asked, stopping her from saying whatever she wanted to say first."Eric, darling! Is it how you welcome your ex-wife?" Sophia asked and took his hand. Immediately a photographer who was sitting at another table inside the cafe secretly took a picture before Eric dragged his hand away."Know your boundaries, Sophia!" Eric barked at her."Seriously? When did we come to this? I only remember traveling out and now I am back and you are acting this cold towards me," Sophia said sarcastically with a grumpy look on her face."Oh shut up Sophia!" Eric barked in anger, not understanding why she was acting the way she was."Thirteen years Sophia, you left and never even came to check up on your own son. I don't have in mind that you never showed up because of shame. Yes, shame would not let you after everything you did. You gold digger!" Eric barked as much as he tried to control his temper."I did what I did for the safety of our son Eric. I was forced to do it because
After having breakfast with Amanda, Eric went to work early. They were going to have a company meeting concerning the contract preparation. He had decided to be very strict this time around to avoid mistakes.Anyone who messes with the contract documents this time around will receive his wrath. All the workers gathered in regard to the meeting including his secretary and his Assistant.He made sure there was no device to record their conversation and had the doors closed.He exchanged greetings with everyone before he cleared his throat and proceeded to state what the meeting they were having was all about."Once again this year, we have gotten another offer to join a competition regarding a huge contract which will elevate the success of this company, and with me here are the contract documents. Everything is included in it, all we have to do is to bring up our ideas and put them together to achieve something," he said and looked at everyone in the hall to make sure they were paying
Eric walked to the living room to check the news just as Marcus had said on the phone. He saw the picture of him and Sophia kissing and holding hands in the cafe on the screen. The News channel was reporting about him and his ex-wife being captured in a cafe together after many years of them being apart and his ex-wife being abroad.Eric got mad as he knew it was the work of Sophia. She had purposely done all she did in the cafe to make them become headlines again so people would think they never stopped seeing each other.He groaned and kicked a couch before he started heading upstairs to his room. On getting to his room, he picked up his cell phone and saw many notifications on his screen, they were all about him and Sophia which got him very annoyed.He threw the cell phone away and sat down to think of what to do. He wasn't smart and had been taken advantage of by Sophia again. He knew that no matter the amount of explanation he would give to the media, it would not clear everythi

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
