Chapter 59.Eric was very busy in his office, sorting some files. These days have been hectic for him, and he hardly had a chance to attend to his personal needs. His secretary informed her of Harvey's arrival and she asked him to send Harvey in. After some minutes, Harvey walked in with her newfound elegance and glamor showcasing how confident she had turned out to be. Eric forced a smile at her before offering her a seat. He asked the servant that escorted Harvey in to get her some snacks, and the secretary bowed and left."It has been a long time honey," Harvey said with a smile, she walked towards Eric and made him drop the files he was sorting and raised his face to focus on her as Eric didn't even care to look at her."It has only been a few days and we do talk on the phone," Eric replied and grabbed the files he was going through earlier."How are you doing?" Eric asked Harvey with concern before rising from his office desk. He walked towards Harvey and sat on the couch opposi
Amanda walked to the manager's office, she took a deep breath before knocking softly on the door. The manager ushered her in and she opened the door.She met him typing on his laptop but stopped when he noticed Amanda present he looked up and offered her to sit on the couch available in his office. She thanked him and sat down while waiting for him.He walked over to the sofa to join her and it made Amanda a little bit uncomfortable but she never showed it. He offered her a glass of wine and also poured some for himself."Can you explain what actually happened between you and the couples?" The manager asked and looked up at Amanda.He wanted to hear her side of the story so he wouldn't blame Amanda. He knew that most customers are very problematic and would always want to put the workers in trouble. He wasn't that cruel and Wicked to jump to the conclusion that the couples were right because when Amanda started working with them, she had never had a fight with any of the customers nor
Kelvin led Amanda holding her on her shoulder. She sat down on the bare floor with the wet clothes she was putting on, she was still crying and hadn't stopped. She was still feeling bad about everything and jow Mrs. Bryan accused her of seducing her husband.She cleaned her eyes and looked up at Kelvin who was standing in front of her. His eyes were full of care and concern which made her wonder why he would have such a look in his eyes toward her. He had never cared and should act like he did today. She would never fall for a such look and allow him to come into her life again. She is already done with him and doesn't have any reason to stick still with him or have him around."What do you want from me?" Amanda asked him calmly, staring at the ground absentmindedly. "Hey Amanda, I'm just here to keep you company and make you feel warm. I'm not going to hurt you," Kelvin replied with a smile on his face. He didn't understand why Amanda would suddenly ask him such a question."Why all
Amanda woke the following morning with a headache. She held on her head with her hand and she stood up from her bed, walking toward the kitchen to get herself a glass of water.After getting the water, she went back to her bedside to get an aspirin tablet which she swallowed and drank the whole glass of water.She went back to the kitchen, looking around the cabinet thinking of what to cook when she heard her phone ringing. She quickly walked toward her bed and picked up her phone to see who might be calling her. She swiped the button up seeing the call was from Gabriel." Good morning Gabriel," Amanda greeted in a calm voice." Morning Amanda, I am very sorry for leaving you yesterday. Have been trying to get a good apartment here, so the real estate agent called me last night to check a place out." " Have been sleeping in a hotel which I am not comfortable with," Gabriel explained over the phone." It's okay. What are you doing in California?" Amanda asked with narrow eyes." Dad
Amanda arrived at Eric's mansion and met James in the living room watching TV. Immediately he saw her, he rushed up and hugged her tight.Amanda smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. They disengaged from the hug and she toward the dining table."James, come here, I bought some chicken," Amanda said, looking at James whose eyes were fixed on the TV.Amanda dropped the chicken and ice cream package on the table. She brought them out and served them to James."Thank you, Auntie Amanda," James said happily on seeing the ice cream and the peppered chicken. He quickly grabbed the ice cream and opened it. He picked up the spoon and started scooping from the ice cream plate with Happiness."Thank you, Auntie Amanda, the ice cream is very delicious," James said with happiness."You're welcome, we will get more next time. I'm planning on taking you out very soon," Amanda said to James.His eyes lit up in a smile when he heard Amanda's words. He had been longing to go out with Amanda."When d
Amanda and James were baking cake in the kitchen when Eric came back, he asked after them, and one of his employees informed him that they were in the kitchen.He left for the kitchen to inform Amanda and James that he was back. He found them laughing and playing in the kitchen while baking a cake. He stopped at the door and rested on the frame as he watched them with admiration.They appeared so perfect and good together that it looked like they were a real family. This made him desire to have a complete family again but he immediately killed off the desire, concluding that he wasn't yet ready to face another phase of betrayal. He walked into and cleared his throat which informed them of his presence.Amanda and James quickly turned to look at him. They were shocked because they weren't expecting he would be coming back so early. They greeted him and he returned it."I can see the both of you are very busy," Eric said, looking around."Yes Dad, we are," James replied excitedly. "How
Amanda walked back to her apartment, thinking about Eric and why he was suggesting that she come to visit after James goes on holiday.She hissed out loud and walked inside, she slumped on the bed tiredly. She checked her time and noticed that it was already past 8 pm in the night.She got up from bed and walked into the kitchen to make a simple dinner for herself. While in the kitchen, her phone rang and she quickly picked it up.She sat on one of the kitchen chairs in the kitchen, she smiled before saying."Hello, Gabriel," "Hey babe, how are you?" Gabriel asked over the phone which made Amanda roll her eyes. She had asked him to stop calling her babe and that was a long time ago but hearing him call her babe showed that he hadn't stopped."Hey, you don't want to stop with the babe already?" Amanda asked with a smile."Why? When you are my babe," Gabriel replied.Amanda frowned and said."No, I'm not. Please don't bring up this argument. We are grown now and have passed that stage,
Amanda arrived at the estate address given to her by Gabriel after promising to visit him so she could help him with his apartment arrangement.She rang the doorbell and waited patiently for him to come to answer it, it didn't take a minute before the door opened."Hey Amanda," Gabriel called and stretched out his hand for a hug. Amanda returned the hug and they disengaged some minutes later."Come inside," Gabriel said excitedly and opened the door wider for Amanda. She thanked him and followed him in, he gestured for her to sit down on the chair.Gabriel smiled at Amanda before offering her a seat. He quickly rushed to the kitchen to get Amanda some snacks..she returned with cookies and milk and handed them over to her."Welcome to my apartment," Gabriel said with a smile, he picked up a file that was on the center table and dropped it back. He was sorting out some files before Amanda showed up. He had to drop it now and focused on Amanda."Yeah, thank you," Amanda replied, returni

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
