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
"Please, Sir! I didn't do it. They framed me up, it was one of them that did it," Amanda said immediately as they got to the manager's office."Shut up Amanda, just shut up. I cannot believe you are causing trouble already on your first day of resumption when the one you caused before your suspension is yet to be solved," the manager said with anger."Sir, please hear me out. I'm saying the truth_""Quiet. I don't want to hear a word from you. If you do not want to worsen the situation. Just keep quiet," the manager said which made Amanda quiet but she was already crying."Do you think I'm going to believe you? The five of them said they saw you do it and you want to lie about it so you wouldn't end up paying for your damage. Does this place look like a joke to you? I only wanted to promote you to the VIP section because of how hardworking you are but you messed Everything up just on the first day. You are very troublesome and this time around, you wouldn't serve any suspension but wo
Anna was very happy that she had finally seen who would help Amanda.She asked Marcus to follow her to a corner which he obeyed without asking her anything."Please Amanda is in big trouble and might be arrested soon by the police," Anna said, shaking all over."What happened?" Marcus asked her."She got into trouble with some customers and broke an expensive wine which she cannot be able to pay for so the manager wants to involve the police," Anna explained quickly without swallowing any saliva."Please do something. I'm begging you to do something. I don't want anything to happen to Amanda please, don't allow the manager to get her arrested. I know she is innocent and got framed. I overheard everything," Anna said."Calm down okay? I will do something. She would not get arrested," Marcus promised."Please go ahead. There is no time. I'm sure the police are already on their way," Anna said in a panic.Marcus quickly grabbed his phone and called Eric. He was the only one who could hel
Eric was quiet all through the journey to Amanda's place. He kept thinking about everything. He couldn't understand why Amanda was so stubborn.It wasn't the first time she was having issues in the club but she adamantly still chose to work there. He sighed as he tried to control how was at that moment.He looked at her through the pulldown mirror, she was looking lost in thought and at the same time disturbed.He sighed and concentrated on the road.Amanda kept thinking about how she would face Eric who had once again come to her rescue. She didn't want to feel indebted to him but sadly she already is which made her feel so downcast."Why does she always have to be in trouble and who was behind this? Who asked the manager to set her up like this and do such a thing to her," she thought, feeling disturbed.She looked at Eric, but he was concentrating fully on the road, she knew he was very angry and pissed off with her but she didn't blame herself.She was framed which she couldn't es
Chapter 101.Amanda called Gabriel on phone and explained everything that happened in the club. He expressed how angry he was with the manager and didn't blame her. He invited her over to his office so they would talk more regarding the issue and know what to do next.Amanda quickly prepared to leave for Gabriel's office. Gabriel had promised to send the address on the phone after their conversation, so she believed he would do so before she finished preparing. She checked around the house if everything was okay before walking out of her door to start leaving.When she locked her door, she remembered that he was yet to send her address so she decided to call Gabriel to remind him that he was yet to send address. She picked up her phone and was about to call him when his call came in."Hey, I was about to call you to remind you that you are yet to send the address to me," Amanda said to Gabriel over the phone."I sent a car, it should have arrived at your place," Gabriel replied which
Amanda and Gabriel left safely for his place. He welcomed her in and then proceeded to show her the guest room where she would be staying for the night.After Amanda settled in late into the night. She came downstairs to join Gabriel in the living room, she met him drinking alone while staring at nothing. She smiled and tiptoed towards him. She snatched the glass of wine and drank all of it.Gabriel looked up at her with a frown on his face."Why did you do that?" He asked her, pretending to be angry. Amanda only laughed because she knew that he wasn't angry and was just pretending to be."Oh about that, do you have to ask your guest when he or she looks like they are interested in drinking with you?" Amanda asked him."You just snatched my drink, you didn't look like you wanted to drink with me. You would have taken a glass and poured some for yourself if you really wanted to have a drink with me," Gabriel said and looked up at her smiling, pretty face.He swallowed hard and quickly
Amanda was ready to leave the next morning, she couldn't stop thinking about what happened between her and Gabriel. It took her totally surprised that facing Gabriel again would be so difficult.She thought about it all night and couldn't sleep, she least expected what happened between them, it was still a shock to her. She no longer felt safe with him and the only way to go about what happened was to leave. It was better she goes back to her apartment and bears the risk of staying in it even as the police had asked her to stay away for some time.She was still preparing to leave when a soft knock came on her door. She immediately knew it was Gabriel because there was no other person with them in the house. Her heart started racing wildly as she thought of seeing him again, but before she could say anything, he opened the door and came inside.Their gaze locked with each other before Amanda looked away."I'm sorry for what happened Amanda," Gabriel said immediately and went on his kne

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
