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?"
Amanda and the little girl were already done, they boarded a taxi heading to the address Mrs. Robinson sent it after she reached out to her on the phone. Meanwhile, Eric who had returned from work some hours ago was worried as Amanda wasn't yet home after he was informed she had left earlier in the evening for shopping after he inquired from James. Eric checked his time again and it was already past 11 pm, and his worries increased. He picked up his phone from his pocket and she called her number again but Amanda is not picking up.Eric stood up and he started pacing up and down in his room and a thought crossed his mind." Did she return to her apartment?" Eric thought to himself with narrowed eyes." Maybe I make her uncomfortable," Eric signed.He ransacked his memories trying to remember if he had ever made her uncomfortable while she was staying with him but couldn't grasp any incident or event where he did."Since she told James she is going on shopping, then that's what happe
James who was restless and disturbed all night because of Amanda and finally woke up to check if she was around thinking that Amanda might have left never come back, he didn't know if his father had offended Amanda which he didn't know about which had made her dress that way before she left the house but he prayed that no matter what has happened, she should be back for him because she is one of the reasons his life has taken a U-turn and had been more meaningful than before. What Amanda wasn't aware of was that she was now a part of his life and cannot just choose to disappear someday like that. He opened his door and started heading down to the guest room.He slightly opened the door and peeped inside, on seeing Amanda, a smile crept up his lips. He walked in and closed the door. He walked to her bed and laid down close to her. He couldn't stop smiling as he looked at her beautiful face. She has been the reason for his peace and he cannot deny it. He closed his eyes and clutched he
Amanda and the children went to the Amusement park to have some fun. Nina and Bella couldn't stay put as they ran around which left Amanda laughing and sometimes shouting while James only looked at them with admiration wishing to join them too. He also wanted to feel so free and play just like they were doing. He felt like he was the two happy girls who wouldn't stay at a place as they enjoyed themselves."Bella is careful," Amanda would say at intervals, before laughing. Nina and Bella wouldn't stop chasing each other around while James was busy playing games on his phone.Amanda felt so happy as she watched the children play, she couldn't imagine she did have such company after moving away from Juliet, her best friend. She wondered how Juliet was managing and brushed the thoughts away afterward."Let's go have some ice cream," Amanda said out loud to the kids who cheered very happily. She took them to an ice cream stand and bought them lots of ice cream.They all thanked her before
James knocked on Amanda's door which jolted her out of the deep she was having. She checked the time, it was just 6 am. She wondered who was disturbing her sleeping and quickly got up from the bed. She walked to the door and pushed it open, she saw James standing outside already prepared."Why are you up so early?" She asked with a yawn which made James frown immediately wondering if Amanda had forgotten he was resuming school today. He decided to wave it off thinking she doesn't remember that he was resuming school today and chose to remind her."Today is Monday, I am resuming school and before I will get to school, I want you to follow me to the shopping mall to get a few things I will be taking along with me," James said, making eye contact with her. "Oh, I am sorry… I totally forgot you were resuming school today. Go have breakfast, I will be downstairs soon. Let me go have my bath," Amanda said as she continued yawning.James turned to leave and went downstairs to wait on the c
Around 11 pm, Amanda closed at work and she quickly walked to the changing room to change into the cloth she wore to work.She left the hotel and luckily for her, she was able to get a taxi.After twenty minutes, Amanda got home and walked toward the mansion. Amanda sneaked into the mansion and she was happy when she did not see Eric.She walked to James' room and she noticed he was sleeping already. She picked up his backpack and checked his mathematics assignment and crosschecked the work and she was happy after seeing that James got all the answers right." Wow, he must get the gene from his father," Amanda thought to herself as moved toward James to adjust the bed cover and she walked out of his room.Immediately she got to her room, Amanda lay on the bed and slept off almost immediately.***James woke up early and prepared for school, he did not hesitate to ask Amanda to follow him again to school today. James was eager to go to school again after how he was treated like a

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
