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
All through the night, James was disturbed and couldn't sleep. He had a dream where he forgave Sophia and accepted her back. She took him out and bought him a lot of goodies.When he woke up, He sluggishly went about preparing for school that morning. He did bother to check up on his father, as he knew that he would yell at him and ask him to stay away.After he was done, he left for school with the thoughts of Sophia on his mind. During the break, she showed up again where he sat all alone."I told you to stay away from me. What do you want from me?" James asked her."Please, James. I know your father said something to you, but you shouldn't conclude just like that. You should hear me out," Sophia pleaded, but James wasn't ready to listen."I ask again, what do you want from me? Is it not enough that you abandoned me? I didn't grow up with anyone calling me Mom. Why are you coming back now, it is already too late. I no longer need you, when I needed you in the past," James said to So
The next day, James had all smiles as he went about preparing for school. He could still remember the conversation he had with Sophia at night. She had promised to come to pick him up from school too and take him out, which he looked forward to with excitement.He had forgiven her and had decided to hear her out and give her a chance, that was why he had called her after reading the letter. James ate his breakfast happily without caring about his father.They met on the way to why he was leaving for work, James cheerfully greeted him before rushing forward to meet his driver. Eric didn't notice because his mind was divided as it had always been.James got to school and couldn't wait for it to get to break time. When it did, he rushed out to where Sophia usually meets with him."James!" He heard her out to him when he got to the place. She was already there."Mom!" He called out and embraced her in a hug."My son!" Sophia said and kissed him on the forehead as tears started flowing fre
On getting to Sophia's place. She ushered James inside and led him upstairs. David Anderson was out, she made sure she didn't take him to the wing of the house where she stayed with him. She took him to her own wing. There James saw a lot of pictures of him hanging on the marble wall, while some were placed in the closet in the living room."Wow! Mom, you have all my pictures from when I was a kid till my age now," James said as he looked at his pictures."Of course. I frame and put up your pictures on every birthday. To mark it, it helps make me feel that you are with me," Sophia lied.She had to make James believe her anyway. She had gotten the photos of him online and had it framed some days back before putting it up like she knew she would be able to buy his trust and bring him over."They are all so fine. Thank you, Mom that you are caring even while you weren't there for me. I am happy you never abandoned me," James said and hugged Sophia."Why do you think I would do that to my

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
