Chapter 88.After Anna left for the club, Amanda decided to cook a simple meal for herself. She walked to her kitchen and checked her cabinet to see the available ingredient. She noticed she didn't have enough good stuff at home, so she decided to go to a nearby grocery store to purchase some items missing in her kitchen.She walked to the beer section and took some cartoons of beer before proceeding to the foodstuffs section. After purchasing all she needed she headed to the cashier to pay for everything. The cashier calculated everything and slotted in her card.Unfortunately, it was insufficient, the remaining balance she had was not enough to pay for the things she purchased which left her apprehensive. It looked like she had purposely come to the supermarket with an insufficient bank account. She remembered she had sent the remaining money in her account to Anna and didn't bring the second card.She felt stranded and thought of what to do. Going back home to get the card would ta
Anna called Amanda early in the morning to let her know that Mr. Bryan wished to see her. Amanda told Anna to let the meeting happen in an open area.She was still at home when Anna came, she knocked on the door softly which grabbed Amanda's attention. Though she was expecting her but did not know the meeting would be early. She walked towards the door and opened it."Hi," Anna said out loud as Amanda opened the door. Amanda sighed before inviting her in.She didn't offer her a seat and Anna sat comfortably, looking around the apartment."I hope I am welcomed, get me refreshments," Anna said which made Amanda roll her eyes."I don't have any refreshments. You didn't even tell me you would be coming so early," Amanda said.Anna didn't reply, she stood up and headed toward the fridge. She opened it and brought out two cans of beer before heading back to the couch to sit down.Amanda joined her and grabbed the second can of beer from her."Don't be greedy and don't also feel too comfort
Amanda was still very troubled as she thought about Eric. She paced up and down the living room, thinking of how to meet with him.She had a lot of questions in mind for him, she wanted to know his intentions towards her also which made him go to the length of punishing the Bryans family because of how she was treated by them.She wasn't expecting such a show of concern because they only had a boss and employee relationship. It left her wondering that she needed to visit him and get to know the reason behind him going to that length for her.As Amanda arranged the kitchen, she rehearsed some questions in her mind while summoning up the course to face Eric. She decided to call him first to know if she could find him at home.She walked into the room and picked up her phone to call Eric. On the second ring, he picked up the phone."Good day Sir!" She said over the phone."Good day Amanda," Eric replied calmly. Her call took him by surprise but he was happy to hear her voice again. It ha
Eric walked back to Amanda's room with her bag in his hands. He dropped it on the table before sitting next to her. He admired how her chest was rising and falling in rhythm as she slept so peacefully and soundly.He looked away when she turned to the other side. He looked at her again, her face was now backing him. He took a deep breath as the thoughts of her filled his mind. He felt like protecting her as she slept so carelessly like she didn't have any problem at all which he guessed was true.He thought about Harvey, he just sent her out which had obviously given her a clue that he was done with her."What if she gets to know about Amanda, how would she react?" He thought as he felt restless. He knew how Harvey was when it involved him. She is so obsessed with him that she doesn't mind giving up her career for him if he ever gets to mention it."Was Amanda safe when it comes to her?" He thought as he looked at Amanda. He had already confirmed his feelings for her and knew that he
As Eric left for his bedroom to prepare for work, Amanda checked around the house, trying to see if there was anything amiss that she needed to take care of, forgetting that Eric had a robot that helps him do all the jobs that were supposed to be done by domestic staff when they are not around. She found Everywhere extremely clean and neat as it was supposed to be. She had to go upstairs to quickly have a bath and wear the same clothes as she never planned on sleeping over.While in her room upstairs, she saw one of the game pads she and James normally used to play games together. It made her remember James, she was missing him and couldn't wait for the holiday to be over.She wanted to see him again and hug him, she wanted them to go out together and play games at home as they usually do.After checking around the room, she finished dressing up and walked out with her bag. She got down and noticed that Eric wasn't down yet which made her decide to wait for him to come down to join h
Eric couldn't concentrate on work, he kept on thinking about Amanda and Gabriel as he sat in his office going through some documents. He wondered about Gabriel and what his relationship might be with Amanda at that moment.Anyone could conclude that Amanda and Gabriel were dating after the way he saw them after dropping Amanda in her apartment.This left him so disturbed that he was restless and unnecessarily sweating.He thought of possible ways of removing Gabriel from the picture and having Amanda for himself as it clearly showed that he was a big competition to him.He stood up from his desk and walked towards the window, he looked out still thinking of what to do about it.The thoughts of James came to his mind which made him walk back to his desk. He felt happy as he had gotten a reason to be distracted from the thoughts which weren't allowing him to concentrate. Talking with James was the only thing which can help distract him at the moment.Talking about James, he remembered t
Chapter 95.Gabriel went home immediately after he left Amanda. He unlocked his door and got in with the thoughts of the great time he just had with Amanda in the restaurant on his mind.He thought about asking her out and how she would get to feel about it when he does. He only knew Amanda as a friend before he started having feelings for her but he didn't know how she felt about him. He thought Amanda might only see him as a childhood best friend who she was meant to stick with.It got him restless as he thought about it. He abandoned the documents he was supposed to go through and sat in his study thinking of what to do.The best way was to approach and ask her out but how would he come about it, he asked himself.His greatest fear was losing Amanda and he didn't know if he made a bold step to approach her, it might break them apart if his carefree thoughts of him changes in her heart.It was disturbing him a lot that he had been thinking about it for the past few days. It was best
Amanda was already prepared to resume work. She felt very happy all the way to work as she had missed work so much.She imagined seeing other colleagues of hers again and exchanging pleasantries. She knew that the ones who hated her and had celebrated her suspension would be so shocked and angry to see her again but she didn't care.She was one of the most hardworking waiters among all of them, her hard work and manner of handling customers always pissed them off because of the praises and little tips she regularly received from the customers who loved her so much.She got down from the cab when she got to the club premises. She took in a deep breath, held tight to her bag, and started going inside.Anyone she passed on the way would stare hard at her, maybe they all thought that she would not come back because it had been a month plus.She only smiled at them as she didn't care about the look of disappointment they had on their faces upon seeing her.She walked straight to the changi

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
