Picking up a notepad and a marker from the table Amanda and James began drafting out a routine that they would be following.
"Where did you learn to play video games," James implored Amanda still fascinated by her ability to beat him
"Let's focus on your timetable first," Amanda pulled James to sit down beside her.
The butler had prepared the lounge for them and had also arranged everything they would be needing
"Lunch is ready," a maid said, interrupting them.
Looking at the two interacting with each other, the maids were surprised by his enthusiasm toward his new teacher.
Everyone in the mansion is aware of his harsh attitude to all his previous teachers, even the maids have to be extra careful around him, or they will be losing their jobs.
After the miss had proposed a game, they thought she would face the gate as the others who didn't last a day. But to say the least, everyone was shocked when the young master lost at the last minute.
Amanda and James were spending their time together, not realizing that it was already time for lunch.
"Let's go have lunch," Amanda stood up from her chair pulling James along with her.
"We have done the time arrangement you want us to follow but still you have not told me what trick you used to win me," James said, wrapping her arms around his body.
"I also played video games when I was your age, it was just sheer luck, and_" Amanda left her statement hanging, darting her eyes.
"And what?" James inquired eagerly to know how she won, leaning forward.
"Eat your lunch first," Amanda said, drawing out a chair for him to sit down on.
Immediately the maids saw the young master sit down, they immediately came in with the dishes arranging them on the table.
"After I have eaten you are going to tell me right?" James asked yet again, looking at Amanda.
"Ha...ha..., Yes I will tell you, now eat," Amanda promised while filling his plate with dishes.
"You promised, no going back," James said looking at Amanda sternly.
Amanda could only laugh cause she found it cute,
Rushing through his food, James wanted to finish fast Amanda could tell him her secret and he would try it out to see if it works
"Eat slowly, so you won't get choked," Amanda cautioned him, panicking at the fast rate at which he was eating.
"Done!" James said immediately after he finished eating turning on his chair to look at Amanda
"It's simple," Amanda said also turning to face him
"What's it?" James inquired, with wide eyes.
"I read my books a lot, especially mathematics, while playing the game I just did a little maths, I was just doing calculations," she explained to him.
This had him looking at her in awe as if she had said something very big.
"Tell me how you calculated it," he questioned.
"For that, you will have to read your books, and study hard," Amanda said, looking at James, who fixed his gaze on her.
"I don't believe you, you just want me to read more," James said, folding his arms on his chest not believing what Amanda had said.
"Try it and if it doesn't work, then you can say I'm lying," Amanda explained.

After watching James get along with Amanda, Eric was in a good mood and decided to go out to the club and have some fun with his friends.
"The king is in the building," his friends cheered as soon as they saw him enter.
His presence alone had eyes turning towards him, the men wishing to be like him and the women wanting to have a taste of him
"It's been a long time dude," Marcus, his closest friend said, while handing him a glass of wine.
"Yeah, got a lot on my table," Eric replied, gulping his wine in a go.
"Hey handsome," a stripper came over and sat on his legs while roaming her hands around his body.
Pushing her off his legs he glared at her which had her scrambling away in fear
"Chill man, you need to have some fun," Marcus said to him having seen how he just treated the stripper, but Eric said nothing to him, just filling his glass again and gulping it down again
"Let this beauty beside me serve you," he continued pushing the blonde hostess beside him to Eric.
Moving to his side, the hostess who has been one of those who have always wanted to climb his bed didn't waste any time and started romancing him.
Standing up from where he was sitting in the chair he dragged the hostess along with him to his private suite in the club.
Pushing her to the bed he wasted no time in ripping her skimpy dress, which had the hostess gasping in shock but it was later replaced with a look of lust when she saw him undressing, picturing Amanda on his head.
Opening the drawer beside the bed he brought out protection from inside and put it on, before moving back to the hostess who was already sprawled out on the bed
Moving closer to the bitch on the bed, Eric didn't waste time on the foul play cause the bitch was already dripping wet.
Turning her around so that her ass was up in the air, Eric plugged his hardened shaft into her core without warning.
Moaning out loud as Eric thrust into her core, was the only thing the hostess could do, even though he had been rough with her.
In less than a minute, she was already spraying her juices everywhere but Eric was not yet at his peck, removing his still-hardened shaft from her v-card, he inserted it into her ass hole, fucking her hard till he reached his orgasms, turning her around he inserted his dick in her mouth, emptying his seed inside.
Removing a bunch of notes from the drawer he threw it at her before pushing her out, without a word.
Going to the little cabinet in the room he picked out a bottle of wine, not bothering to use a glass he opened it and gulped It down till the bottle was almost empty.
Grabbing a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, he removed one and smoked it, when it was done he put it out on the ashtray, picking up the wine bottle he gulped down the remaining content.
Moving out of the club he didn't go back to his friends but drove back home.
"Are you still here?" Eric was shocked to still see Amanda around, it was quite late already.
"Yeah, I just finished spending time with James," Amanda replied, scrunching her nose at the stench of alcohol and smoke coming from him.
"How could he come home drunk? This is not a good influence on James," Amanda thought to herself.
"What did you say?" Eric asked angrily glaring at her
"Nothing sir," Amanda said, she hadn't realized she had said it out loud.
Eric started walking towards her, looking into her eyes and their bodies collided.
"what are you doing?" She was panicked by his attitude, their faces were only inches apart and she could smell the alcohol and cigarette from his breath.
" How I treat my son is none of your business, I employed you and not the other way around," he said to her with gritted teeth.
"I was only telling the truth, you have a kid at home, so you have to mind the way you act,
" And goodnight sir," Amanda said as she walked away from Eric's embrace.
After Amanda left, Eric was stuck in his position looking at the woman that just confronted her on what to do in his mansion and how to raise his kid.
" Am I a bad influence on him? " Eric thought to himself as he walked inside the mansion.
Entering her little apartment, Amanda immediately sloped down on her couch all the stress of the day coming down on her.Despite everything beginning on a rough patch, it still went well, just the thought of what had happened between her and Eric played in her mind.His handsome face close to hers, them sharing the same breath, Amanda couldn't help but drool.Releasing what she was doing she quickly slapped her cheeks."How could I think of such a thing, gosh, what the hell is wrong with me!" she thought out loud."I might be going nuts, he is my employer and he is also not in my league," Amanda said, as she stood up from the couch and walked to her room to freshen up.Coming out of the shower Amanda was met with her phone ringing.She quickly walked to her reading table where she had placed her phone. She picked up the phone after she saw who the caller was with a full smile on her face."Hello, Mandy dear," Amanda's Aunt from Texas, Michelle Willow, said immediately after the call
Entering the building Amanda was met with the butler and Mrs. Robinson in the discussion."Morning Mr. Derrick, Morning Mrs. Robinson," "Morning dear, how was your night?" Mrs. Robinson greeted back while the butler only gave a Curt nod"It was fine , and how is my little Nina?""She's good," Mrs. Robinson responded."Is James still asleep?" Amanda inquired,looking at his room's direction."I don't think so, he might be up by now," the Butler Derrick replied."I'm going to him now," and with that Amanda made her way up to James's room.Standing at the door Amanda knocked lightly on it "Are you awake James?""Yes I am," James shouted in response after hearing the voice.Opening the door Amanda made her way inside the room, in front of the TV was James seated on a bean bag playing video games, even though Amanda entered the room he did not remove his eyes from it, all his attention was on it.Beside him was a pen and paper with nothing written on it."It's not nice to play video games
Entering the room James and Amanda began studying. "Why do you always leave your exam answer sheet blank," Amanda asked, going through his school papers."No reason, just feel like doing it," was the only answer James could provide."It's not good to leave your answer sheet blank, your grades are going to be low," Amanda explained, looking in James' direction."I don't want high grades," James said looking down."Why don't you want high grades?" Amanda asked, maintaining eye contact with James."No one will praise me when I have like other kids, so why should I have it," he explained."You don't have to worry about that, when you make good grades this time around, I'm going to buy you a present," Amanda replied with a smile."Really, " James asked feeling skeptical about it"Yes, I will even show you my secret to winning video games," Amanda giggled."Hope you won't go back on your word," James asked, making eye contact with Amanda." I won't, I promise," Amanda said."Now take this
Amanda stood with Eric, both of them staring at each other. Amanda doesn't want to invite him in but Eric wants to go in at least to know what her house looks like.Their eyes met and they both looked away. Eric tried to say something but found words stuck in his throat. He cleared his throat which made Amanda tense. "I have to take my leave now," Eric said, scratching his head and feeling awkward like a high school boy visiting his crush's house for the first time."Okay… I'm sorry I didn't invite you in," Amanda apologized which made Eric barely smile. He just nodded and turned to walk back to his car. He stole a glance at Amanda who stood there looking at him before entering his car and driving off.Amanda heaved a sigh of relief, wondering why Eric suddenly wanted to be invited into her house. As she got in she studied around and shook her head. It was nowhere to be compared to his mansion so she didn't think he would end up being comfortable in it.She sighed as she slumped on t
Eric stretched as he opened his eyes. He drank himself to sleep last night. He yawned and stood up feeling tired. He was happy that he didn't have a hangover because of the content of the alcohol he took last night. He walked into the bathroom and washed his face before staring at the wall mirror in the bathroom.He saw Amanda's pretty face smiling happily at him, he shook his head and it disappeared. He has been dreaming about them all night and couldn't have a proper sleep as he would wake up at intervals with his name on her lips. He still couldn't figure out why he was feeling this way for him. Now he feels like seeing her again before he leaves for work.He strode out of his bathroom and checked the time, it was just past 6 am and he knew she had extra two hours to resume the day. He sighed out loud and decided to see her before leaving for work.He quickly took a quick shower and walked to his study to attend to some files as he would go late. If it were to be before Amanda came
Eric made sure he started leaving for home early, he wanted to see Amanda again before she leaves. Throughout the conversation with Marcus, he still couldn't remove Amanda from his mind.As his driver drove him home, he was eager to see her pretty face again. He smiled as he remembered her face in the morning. She was simply beautiful and he appreciated that. He couldn't contain the excitement he was feeling inside him.He smiled when he remembered how she was always looking innocent and elegant.He chuckled, which made his driver look at him. Eric immediately composed himself and put up a frown.He didn't know why the thoughts of Amanda were making him feel like a little kid, he didn't want to fall for her but he couldn't just help himself.The driver got home and he came out of the car, hurrying to go meet Amanda before she leaves for the day. As he got inside, he met Amanda and James playing video games. They were laughing heartily and trying to win each other.Eric didn't know why
Amanda stood behind the kitchen counter, recalling everything that had happened. She still didn't know why Eric acted that way over a video game. He knew she was doing her job effectively."Was he already angry before he came back from work," she thought, feeling disturbed about everything that had happened? She couldn't even grasp her fingers at what might be the problem and sighed concluding James turned out that way because of his relationship with Eric who only scolds him but doesn't care about his welfare."It's bad for a father to treat his son that way thinking it was right," she thought and sighed. She opened her pot to check the noodles she was preparing.The water was almost dried up so she quickly moved over to the center table to cut some vegetables she wanted to add to the noodles. After about five minutes, she was already done. She inhaled the sweet Aroma she was perceiving from her noodles and smiled and licked her lips expectantly waiting to have a taste.It has been
The day was very stressful for Eric at the office, he walked into the living room, met Amanda and James, and felt a little bit guilty about what happened the other day. He quietly stood in a corner and watched them studying. None of them noticed him except some domestic staff who quietly continued their duties like they weren't seeing each other anymore. Eric continued watching them as he admired Amanda all over his face but he felt a slight headache and decided to go upstairs to freshen up and have a quick nap. He walked forward towards the stairs and that was when Amanda and James noticed his presence. James flinched and grabbed Amanda's hand which made her notice he was afraid of Eric."Can we go to my room to continue studying?" James asked Amanda in a whisper. His voice was tense and he couldn't even properly put his speech together. It made Amanda sad because it was very bad for a father and son to have such a relationship. She looked at Eric who was now about to climb the

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
