Amanda went to Mrs. Robinson's apartment to pick her up because of the appointment she had booked with a specialist doctor on her behalf. They are going to check if her condition can be cured as suggested by Gabriel.She met Bella and Nina alone at home, and on seeing her, they ran to embrace her. She embraced them back before kissing each of them on the forehead."Where is your mom?" Amanda asked Nina, licking her lips."She is out, she went to get some foodstuff as they are on break for now," Nina replied with a smile."Alright, I'm going out with Bella. To the hospital precisely. Will you come along?" Amanda asked Nina with narrowed eyes."Sure, I'm going to come along. I have to put on something good just like Bella. Can you wait for a little?" Nina said and took Bella's hand. She dragged her towards her room which she followed. "Alright, I will be waiting," Amanda said after them. She sat down and started scrolling through her phone. She saw some pictures of James and the girls
Eric walked out of the city hospital with Marcus by his side. His stomach growled and then, he remembered he hadn't eaten anything that day.He told Marcus he would like to eat a the restaurant near the hospital and Marcus went back inside the hospital.A waiter approached him and greeted him calmly, and Eric occupied the vacant seat in the restaurant.He passed him the menu which he flipped through before settling for what he needed. The waiter left after he had made his choice leaving him all alone again."Should I call her and ask what she's doing in the hospital?" He asked himself as he was very restless over Amanda. He thought about Amanda's health. She didn't look sick but she might still not be healthy because that would be the only reason she would show up at the hospital except if one of the girls he saw her with was sick. He sighed and grabbed his phone.He started scrolling through his contacts and stopped when he saw Amanda's cell phone number, he was about to call her bu
"That's enough," Mrs. Bryan thundered, cutting him short. She didn't stop the car or say anything to him."Do you think I'm kidding?" Mr. Bryan asked and grabbed her shirt from the back seat."Are you crazy?" Mrs. Bryan yelled with anger and suddenly stopped the car in the middle of the road, the road was less busy so it didn't create any havoc.She glared at him with burning eyes, and he winced with fear before letting her go, she was always looking so scary when she was angry.She started the car and drove to a corner."Let me out, I don't care about your explanation anymore, I should go to the club with you using another car, I don't mind boarding a cab, the air in here is so stuffy that I might choke to death," Mr. Bryan said and tried to open the door."Not yet until you explain why the air here is choking you to death. Stop behaving like you didn't support me that day or have never been supporting me all this while" Mrs. Bryan fired, her gaze fierce with anger."I only did becau
Amanda woke up with a slight headache. She smiled as she remembered what happened yesterday with the girls. They had a lot of fun and also went out.It was a fun-filled day for them which made her feel so glad. She got up humming a popular song, she walked into the bathroom to have a quick shower before coming out. She put on a light dress and walked to the backyard to arrange her things and do some cleanups."Amanda," a familiar voice called from the living room."Oh, my God! Gabriel!" she screamed on recognizing the voice and went back in.Gabriel embraced her in a warm hug which she reciprocated and he tightened it."Easy on me dude," she said with laughter as she held him back with a clear conscience."I have missed you so much," Gabriel confessed and buried his head on Amanda's shoulder inhaling her wonderful scent."I'm sorry for not coming to visit you, I have been occupied," Amanda apologized as they broke out of the hug"It is okay babe, I understand. Are the girls around? Ga
After Amanda and Gabriel finished eating, Gabriel grabbed her hand and they walked to the living room together.Amanda sat on the couch with Gabriel beside her, looking at him to start the conversation about why Camilla, Amanda's step sister, was calling him."Hmmm," Gabriel sighed, rubbing his hands together as he stared at Amanda." Do you remember telling you that I was going to Germany for business training three years ago?" Gabriel asked with narrowed eyes." Yes, I think I remember. You told me on my graduation night." Amanda said, tugging on her ear."Yes. I was gone for like a month." Gabriel said and continued." After I came back, I tried calling you several times but your number was not. I even visited your parents' apartment but I did not get a positive response. But I noticed your stepmother was acting as if she knew what happened to you."" Sp that fateful afternoon, I was…"FLASHBACKAfter Amanda left Texas with Juliet, Gabriel was in his office one afternoon when a sof
After Gabriel left, Amanda was alone in the living room, thinking about her past.She felt so down and sad that she couldn't stop herself from remembering how much she suffered at the hands of her stepmom and dad after her mom's death.FLASHBACKAmanda was coming back from middle school with her friend. They said goodbye. Amanda ran inside, happy to show her mum the assessment results she got from school.The school was so exhausting because of the series of activities that occurred in school, but in all, it was fun filled.She dropped her bag in the living room before heading straight to the fridge to get chilled water as she felt very dehydrated.She took a bottle of water and turned to go into her room before she heard noises coming from the kitchen."Oh mom is back," she said excitedly and rushed towards the kitchen. Her mom went out in the morning and promised to come back before she closed school.On getting to the kitchen door, she found her Aunt cooking which left her disappo
FLASHBACK CONTINUES After six months of Mattew Smith, Amanda's father marrying Sonia and bringing her home alongside Camilla.Amanda was sent on an errand that fateful day. Immediately she got back, she met her stepmom and sister sitting in the living room with anger on their faces. Her dad was present too. She wondered what was amiss that made them have such looks on their faces."Hey! Where is the money you stole from Dad's closet?" Camilla asked immediately."Which money?" Amanda asked with surprise. She looked at them, they had a murderous stare on their faces for her.She looked at her dad, who was also looking at her with a bad expression."I didn't steal from your closet dad. You know I would never do it," Amanda said but her father wasn't listening. He pounced on her and started beating her up, requesting she returns the money.Camilla and her mother laughed at her in return, they knew they had wrongly accused her so she would be beaten up by her father and they didn't care.
The ray of sunlight some through Amanda'a window. Amanda stretched her lazy set of worn-out bones before opening her eyes.Yesterday was very exhausting and hectic for her. Her stepmom forced her to do all the house chores at home including the laundry and trimming the garden. She didn't rest until late in the night after she finished cooking dinner.She stood up from the bed and checked the time, it was already past 6 am. Her heart skipped a beat as she didn't know if her stepmom was already awake. She usually asks her to wake up at 6 am every day to start the day's duties.She quickly rushed into the bathroom, washed her face, had a quick bath, wore casual clothes, and rushed into the kitchen.Luckily, no one was up yet, it was the weekend. Her stepmom and stepsister take longer to wake up on weekends.She quickly prepared breakfast while checking her time, she had somewhere to go. She took college exams unknown to her father and stepmom. Today was the day the results were out so

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
