Juliet stood at Kevin's doorstep looking at the closed door. She has been ringing the doorbell for the past ten minutes but no one came to answer the door and check who it was, not even his parents. She was thinking about how to let his parents know she was at their doorstep hence Kelvin's phone has been switched off since yesterday evening. "Hey, dear," A middle-aged lady passing by called. She tapped Juliet on the shoulder and she turned back."Good morning Ma'am," Juliet greeted with a cheerful smile as she recognized the middle-aged lady who was Kelvin's neighbor, and also a very good friend of their family."It has been a long time since you came around. How are you doing?" The middle-aged lady asked."Very well. I have been busy with work," Juliet lied, to cover up even if she knows it was never the reason she has not been coming to visit like before. It was their constant fights and arguments since Amanda left that had been keeping her from coming."It is okay my dear, I under
Mr. and Mrs. Costello sat in the living room with their family doctor, Mr. Bryan Richardson, who had just finished checking on Juliet. Earlier, after Juliet passed out, they took her straight home and informed the family doctor who arrived before them. "She is in a panic state right now, her emotions were triggered, and that's why she behaved the way she did. She couldn't get herself to believe the news she heard, but she is totally fine and would be okay when she woke up," Dr. Bryan said with assurance before adjusting his glasses."This was never a good idea honey," Mrs. Costello whispered. Mr. Costello grabbed her hand tight and signaled her to keep quiet which she did immediately."I do not want her to behave very wild again as she did earlier, can't you sadiate her with sleeping drugs so she would be asleep till tomorrow," Mr. Costello said, without any emotion."That's not a good idea, Mr. Costello. Don't worry about her going wild again, she will not," Dr. Bryan assured."Go
Mrs. Robinson was just coming back from supermart after getting some groceries the mansion needed, she saw a package near the door addressed to Amanda. She picked it up and walked inside the mansion and she looked around for Amanda. She asked the maid and they let her know she was in her room and she walked toward her room."Amanda, you have a package," Mrs. Robinson announced, knocking on her door gently."Who is it from?" Amanda asked as she dried her hair."I do not know, it has no address nor reference on it, it only has your name on it," Mrs. Robinson reviewed while studying the package."I have been getting lots of packages recently, let me get them, I am coming," Amanda said and she walked toward the door.She came outside and received the hamper from Mrs. Robinson invited her into her room, and both sat on the bed and opened the hamper together."Wow! you never made me know about it," Mrs. Robinson said, looking at the dozens of packages lying around the room." Have been bu
After Mrs.Costello stood at Juliet's door for over thirty minutes, she decided to open the door and the doctor treated her wound and she slept off almost immediately.When she woke up after some minutes, she sneaked out to drain her life away in a random bar. After drinking herself into a stupor, she picked up her phone and dialed Kelvin's number. After calling him more than twenty times, Kelvin has no other choice than to pick up her call.She said lots of gibberish which showed Kelvin she was drunk and for him to help her and keep her safe, he tracked her to the bar through her phone location and carried her into the car before driving off to take her home."I am hungry... my stomach hurts," Juliet cried out in the car."We are getting close to home okay? Exercise a little more patience," Kelvin said."I can not, I want to eat right now," Juliet thundered and grabbed the driver's seat. "You left me and ran away. You kept me this way," she accused with rage filling her up before sh
Amanda followed James to school as usual. It has been a routine which she couldn't escape as Eric had been busy these past days and hardly even comes out of his room except in the morning and night when he always comes to kiss James good morning and goodnight. James reminded her to tell Eric about his plans of them going on a father and son outing which Amanda agreed to do.As James came out of the car, he waved Amanda goodbye and didn't wait for her to do their usual routine and walked toward his class. Amanda couldn't help but smile, it was like James also knew she was in a hurry. The driver drove her back to the mansion.She decided to relate James' message to Eric first before quietly leaving the mansion to her home to wait for Kelvin. She checked the time as she came down from the car and started heading into the mansion. It was just past 8am, she knew Eric might have finished preparing for work but she decided to have a little conversation with him before he left for the office
After Kelvin left her apartment, Amanda decided to leave for the mansion too. She could not stop thinking about what Kelvin said to her, and she smiled to herself after remembering his confession.Who would believe he would end everything so soon with Juliet. They used to be best friends when he cheated on her. She had never wished they would end so soon because she did not want a situation where they thought she was the problem, that was why she had avoided seeing them after what happened.She was grateful at least she was able to move on without thinking much about Kelvin and was happy she was doing fine without Kelvin and Juliet.She got to the mansion around noon and decided to prepare a special lunch for James who was yet to return from school.She walked into the kitchen and met with Mrs.Robinson very busy arranging and organizing all the things that were being replaced. They shared a smile and exchanged pleasantries."How has your work been?" She asked Amanda while restocking
Amanda walked into the mansion and met Eric sitting in the living room which left her shocked beyond words. She wondered why he was still up at that moment and wished she could disappear because she didn't know what to tell him.Eric looked up at her and looked away, he was still burning with anger and rage, he didn't know what to do at the moment but because he didn't want to sound so harsh, he decided to ask her where she was coming from. Amanda lied that she went over to Mrs. Robinson's home to see her and her daughter Nina which got Eric angry because he had never thought Amanda would lie to him. He wanted to tell her that he saw her working in the club but kicked against it.He stood up and started climbing the stairs, without voicing another word. Amanda continued standing with her heart racing wildly, she didn't know if Eric had known about her working in the club again or if he just happened to stay up today based on the reasons best known to him but whichever one, she pray
James, Nina, Bella, Mrs. Robinson, and Amanda got to the store the next day and went to the security personnel's office."Good morning, " Mrs. Robinson greeted, she asked Amanda to allow her to settle things herself as she would act as James' mom. The security guard was surprised to see Amanda, Nina, and Bella before he remembered they were with James the previous day except for Amanda."Morning ma'am," Are you his guardian?" the security personnel asked. "Yes sir," I'm his mother," Mrs. Robinson replied. He gestured to them to sit on an available chair in the office."Has he explained why I asked him to bring you to my office?" The security personnel asked again."Yes sir, he has," Mrs. Robinson replied."Andrian," The security personnel called."Yes sir!" A young guy with a security uniform replied and came inside."Good morning ma'am," He greeted Mrs. Robinson and waved at Amanda which she returned."Morning Andrian," Mrs. Robinson replied with a smile."Go get Mrs. Bryan, from t

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
