After the discussion with Harvey. Amanda went back home with a heavy heart. All through the journey home she thought about everything with confusion.She had always thought that Eric loved her not because she had mended his relationship with his son but because he got attracted to her personality but all was a lie. He was only pretending to like her just to mess her up and use her to keep his good relationship with James going because, without her, they might go back to how they used to be.She wiped off the tears running down her cheeks for the fifth time. She looked outside the window regretting why she had jumped into loving again after her relationship with Kelvin crashed.When she got home, she met James and Eric having dinner together. James stood up and rushed towards her when he sighted her."Aunty Amanda, you are back. I have been waiting for you," James said as he walked up to her."Oh, I am sorry for keeping you waiting. I had an important place to be," Amanda replied with
Amanda walked back to her room, still on call with Juliet. She sat on her bed after taking a bottle of water from the fridge."Are you still staying at his place? Do you think it is the right thing to do," Juliet asked Amanda worriedly."You mean, living together with him?" Amanda asked, as she totally understood that Juliet was talking about Eric. She had told her about him."Of course, you shouldn't. You can stay over for some days but don't live with him. Since you were forced to leave your apartment because of the attacks and threats you got. You should look for another place to stay," Juliet said over the phone."I will think about it. I have already started planning on moving out of his place," Amanda said, not telling her what the reason was for her decision."Okay," Juliet replied."What about Kelvin? Have you told him about the good news?" Amanda asked her."He hasn't taken my calls for months now. So calling him wouldn't change anything, he wouldn't pick up nor return my cal
Marcus confirmed everything that Harvey said. Amanda, who had been having some doubts about it, had to believe it. She was forced to believe it since Marcus, who was Eric's best friend, had confirmed it. It made the remaining pieces of her heart shatter and she started crying.Marcus felt bad about everything, he had warned Eric about all of this but he never believed. He was always stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.Marcus sighed sadly regretting why he had told Amanda everything but she believed she had the right to know about everything even as Eric had been keeping it away from her. If he had told her himself about his past life before this incident, she wouldn't feel it and would even stand by him and help him go through it."Is that all you have to say?" Amanda asked Marcus. He looked up at her and saw that she had stopped crying even as her eyes were red."We should stop here Amanda. It is enough," Marcus said to her, feeling pity for her."No, I want to know ever
After standing there for a while. Amanda went back home to pack her bags and leave because she didn't want James to notice her mood. She decided to take him out.It might be the last, she didn't want to leave without having a good time with him, at least for the last time.She decided to take him to a garden and informed him. He was so happy about it. It was a large garden she had taken her students to in the past. They came to see various types of plants and flowers.James contacted his driver who was going to drive them there.When they got close to the garden, Amanda didn't want to walk into the garden in a sour mood and ruin their outing. She let out a deep sigh which caused James to look at her but didn't pay any heed to her.Soon, the driver drove into the parking lot of the large garden. Just a few cars could be seen there and James was happy that there were only a few people in the garden.He was quick to get out of the car and then walked elegantly toward the other side. He h
Amanda boarded a cab back home after telling James goodbye. She thought about her decision all the way home if it was the right one or the wrong one, but she made up her mind that she would never go back. She decided to leave, and it was a perfect decision. When she got home, she called Gabriel over to her place after cleaning and arranging it. Gabriel came over and met her cooking in the kitchen. He was surprised when she used to visit in the past, she never cooks at her place when she is staying with him because she knows that it would be a waste to do that. It made him suspicious that he had to ask."Hey, Babe!" He called as he usually called her in the past. It made her smile.She waved at him as he walked over."You are cooking here. Why? Is everything okay?" He asked her."Of course, everything is. I just decided to come back for some time, you know. We are not yet married, so why should I keep staying there like it is my house," Amanda lied, avoiding Gabriel's eyes. She focused
Eric returned home and met everywhere quietly, but he didn't bother much because that is how it had been since the incident. He knew Amanda was avoiding him, she might be in her room locked up or with James.He walked to his room to change into his casual outfit, thinking about her. He hadn't been having a good sleep because she had always been on her mind, he was very confused and disturbed too.He wanted to explain everything that happened to her in detail to make her understand that whatever happened was set up by Harvey, but she wouldn't give him a listening ear or hear him out.It was what was making him restless and disturbed. If he didn't explain to her how everything happened, how will she get to understand and stop trying to avoid him?He blamed himself for keeping everything away from her. He would have explained everything to her, but he never had it in mind that Sophia was going to return and would pull such a scandal between the two of them.He blamed himself for not liste
Eric was still disturbed about Amanda's whereabouts the next day. Last night, he had drunk himself into a stupor to help, but it only helped him sleep and wake up late the next day.James had already left for school when he woke up. He informed his Assistant that he wouldn't show up at the company due to personal reasons, which his Assistant accepted.He tried reaching out to Amanda, and he also sent a text to her, but she didn't pick up his call nor did she reply to his text. It made him angry, so he dismissed all his domestic staff and took some bottles of wine with him to the living room.Sophia had spoiled his life and his happiness, she never wanted him to be happy. She had hurt him in the past and almost turned him into a monster. Now that he found happiness and decided to change, she came back to ruin everything again, Eric thought with rage.He threw the bottle of drink he was holding at the wall at the far end, and it shattered, spilling its contents on the wall and the groun
The next day, James came down for breakfast, expecting his father to come down too, but he waited in vain as he didn't come down. He decided to check up on him and know why he hadn't come down.On his way, he met Eric, already prepared for work with his briefcase."Good morning Dad!" He greeted excitedly."Good morning James!" Eric murmured and walked past him, and he immediately followed him. He was heading to his study."Dad, ain't you joining me for breakfast? I cannot eat alone," James said, but Eric ignored him and started searching for whatever he had in mind in the study."Dad! Is something wrong? You have been acting cold and weird," James said out loud, but Eric ignored him and continued his search."Did anything happen between you and Auntie Amanda, has she left not to return?" James asked, and immediately Eric looked up at him."Leave! I am very busy right now. You should learn to talk when you are supposed to. I guess your teachers are no longer doing their job efficiently
