Amanda woke up with a headache, it was just 5 am in the morning, she couldn't sleep throughout the night and have been thinking of what to do now that her Aunt was terribly sick. According to the doctor she had to provide the money in order for treatment to commence. She decided to reach out to the doctor to know the money she actually has to raise for her Aunt. She took her phone and dialed the doctor's number, he didn't hesitate to pick up at the first ring. "Good morning doctor," she said to him over the phone, yawning and rubbing her swollen eyes. "Good morning Miss Amanda," the doctor replied. "How was your night?" He asked her. "I could barely sleep because I was very worried about my Aunt's health. How is she doing?" Amanda asked the doctor. She got up clutching the phone in her right ear and walked into the bathroom. She put it on a loudspeaker and started Washing her face in the toilet sink. "From the report, I got from the nurse in charge of taking care of her, she is f
Amanda left with Mrs. Robinson to the Club to meet the manager. They knocked on the door and were ushered to come in which they did.It was a short bald man, he studied Amanda closely before looking at Mrs. Robinson."How may I help you?" He asked. Mrs. Robinson cleared her throat and looked at Amanda. Amanda cleared her throat and said."I'm here for the job Sir!" The man looked at him again before saying."You mean you are here for the waiter job?" The man asked again which made Amanda stare at Mrs. Robinson before looking at the Man. She nodded her head before replying."Yes Sir, I will do my best to work diligently here," Amanda promised."Okay, you can start tonight, let's see how hard-working you are," the man said. Amanda couldn't scream for Joy. She heard her mouth looking at Mrs. Robinson. They walked out of the man's office later and she couldn't stop thanking Mrs. Robinson for helping her out."Thank you so much Mrs. Robinson, thank you for this opportunity," Amanda said
Eric cleared his throat again to bring Amanda out of her thoughts. He smiled as he looked at her before saying."James will be resuming next week. His principal called to inform me and I guess he has told you about it," Eric said to Amanda with a more serious tone.Amanda only nodded as she couldn't trust her voice, she was still feeling embarrassed and couldn't look up at Eric's face until he finished talking. She later left for the club after tutoring James to resume the day.Close to her usual closing hour, she was informed a new customer had just arrived at the club who needed her services as other waiters were still very much busy and it was only her who was now preparing to leave. She dragged her feet as she left to attend to the customer. On getting there she bowed without looking at the customer's face and served the drinks she came with on the table."Amanda," a familiar voice called, which made her freeze at that moment. She slowly looked and her gaze met with Kelvin who was
After crying and putting herself together, she found Eric staring at her while still waiting for a reply even though she hadn't said anything to him. And swallowed hard and looked away, as words were stuck in her throat, she couldn't even think of where to start and found herself contemplating what to say which was unlike her.She wondered why she was feeling this way when she really doesn't owe Eric any explanation, she looked up at him and found him staring at her, she looked away again still not ready to say anything. Eric, who had been waiting for an explanation, became impatient as none was coming from Amanda. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in order to suppress the anger that was building up in him as he started thinking that she purposely worked in the club. He didn't want to see her as a loose girl or a whore because she is far from being that, but he wanted to know her reason for working in the club in the first place, even if she doesn't have any I'll intention
"Why did you bring me here?" Amanda asked, looking Eric in the face. He swallowed hard not knowing what to say at this juncture because he really doesn't know what to explain to Amanda to make her understand."Please can I go back home," Amanda said, trying not to get annoyed. She turned to leave but Eric stopped her from leaving. "It's not safe for you to go back home, please stay over," Eric pleaded but Amanda wasn't ready to listen. She just wanted to be alone, maybe to think about everything that has happened so far, especially Tonight with Kelvin. It was so frustrating and annoying that it made her want to go crazy. Everything just started running through her memories right now and it was pissing her off."Like who gave him such audacity to do much with her," Amanda thought to herself.She looked at Eric and saw the pleading looks in his eyes which made her know he cares about her. She sighed giving up, she decided to listen to him and started walking into the mansion without w
Amanda hurriedly dressed up as Eric kept calling her on the phone, he had decided to take Amanda and James out for dinner.She didn't know why he had decided to take them out but was also looking forward to the date deep within her. "I am meant to avoid him already, the outing isn't meant to excite me this much," she thought to herself. She settled on a white floral dress which made her look like a princess, she sprayed her hair and tied it with a ribbon. She wore silver sandals heels and a bag to match and was ready for the date. Amanda's phone started buzzing and she checked the caller ID, it was Eric calling. She picked it up and he indicated he was outside waiting for her.He is taking them out on a dinner date and Amanda made sure she applied light makeup to match, she took her silver handbag and was ready to go.Her phone vibrated again and she quickly checked who might message her, she opened the phone to see Eric's message."Are you done?" - Eric. "Yeah, I am! I am coming
After spending some time with James, Amanda decided to return to her room to rest for the day.Coming outside the room, she saw Eric standing at the door. He had been listening to their conversation which surprised Amanda, she swallowed hard and Eric only smiled at her. "When did you get here?" Amanda asked him with surprise written all over her face.She wasn't expecting him to come back this quickly from wherever he went earlier which surprised her. "Not quite long," Eric replied with a smile which she returned.He didn't even hesitate to walk into James' room, he kissed him and came out immediately which left James speechless just like Amanda, she peeped into James' room and their eyes met, she smiled at him before giving him a wink.They stood looking at each other for some time before Eric decided to invite her into his study. So they could discuss what she and James were actually talking about. Amanda followed him into his study and he gestured for her to sit with him which s
The next day it was so hard for Amanda to do whatever she had to do without thinking about Eric, it was like he was now stuck in her memories. She closed her eyes as she sat on the bed that morning thinking of how to get rid of the thoughts of Eric which were lingering in her mind. She barely slept last night and whenever she does, he doesn't hesitate to appear in her dreams. She sighed as she placed the back of her palm on her neck wondering if she was actually alright to be feeling this way about him already. It was an unusual feeling that she cannot explain. She knew falling for Eric might be the biggest mistake of her life which she might regret but hence she cannot stop her mind from thinking about him, she felt like being restricted and handicapped."Damn!" She sighed slightly and closed her eyes. His handsome face and the way he stared at her couldn't stop flashing through her memories. It was very hurtful already because she knows that she has fallen in love with him."Why?"

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
