Amanda’s POV

My eyes never seemed to get enough of the feed. My phone was buzzing with new pictures and write ups. Different bloggers carrying the news and rephrasing it in some twisted and enticing way.

“Hello, Vanessa?” I called into the phone, shock drowning my voice.

“Well hello girl, have you seen it?”

“Yeah. It would be hard not to see it.” Some string of curses followed suit as I swiped up, not having enough of it. By the end of today this would be the most searched thing on the web.

“Who did you think made such a post?” I quizzed, squinting to read some comments.

“Girl, is that what you are concerned about right now?” I imagined her brows furrowed, her incredible eyes squinting at me as if to understand my words.

“Shouldn’t I be?” I asked.

“Girl!” She shrieked, “someone is trying to take your man and that’s what you are concerned about? Who made the post? Get serious with me.”

I inhaled. “He is not my man, Vanessa.” She had this idea in her head that we were in love, too many

    Amanda’s POV Sometimes I did not know what to make of Quinn. He confused me sometimes and then the majority of the times he made me furious. Like it was a full time job.The audacity he had, the nerves to stand before me, flash the news to my face and fucking accuse me when he was the one parading around town with his ex.“Are you kidding me?” It was hard to keep my voice from going sharp. “You went around the mall, flaunting your ex- and you didn’t expect anyone to capture it?” My brows narrowed as I posed the question which from his face seemed to get him more angry.I crossed my arm over my chest. “From your actions it seems you are not interested in the contract again, do me a favor and call it off.”A look of realization dashed across his face before it was quickly replaced with flaring eyes. “ oh,” he stepped into the room and I moved back from instinct. His steps were purely predatory, “ is this your way of backing off from the contract?”My brows pinched together from sheer fr

    Quinn’s POV I stood in the office, staring out into the view with my phone plastered to my ear. I could feel Miranda's stare on me as I made the phone call.“Yes, I understand.” My tablet was in my hand as I stared at all the articles . Every single post had been deleted. There was not a single one that had any story related to the post with Miranda and me.“Thank you.” I said and ended the call.“Did you clear up everything?” Miranda stood up and walked over to me. “Everything has been deleted?” I said and turned to face her. She stopped behind my chair and crossed her hand over her chest. “But you are still not satisfied by this.” She observed.I frowned and stalked over to my chair, seeing she moved away while I sat down behind the table. “I just can’t believe Amanda will post such a thing.” Truly I was, not if she knew exactly what it would do to our contract marriage.All this because she wanted to pull out from the contract? Why would she go to such an extent, knowing the fra

    Amanda’s POV A low growl threatened to slip out of my lips. While I bit back a retort that danced at the tip of my tongue. I couldn’t believe he was publicly showing off his ex before me.Why? Was it to make me jealous? Or rub it on my face that I could have a lover that was obsessed with me? Like the asshole Logan. I guess they were related for a reason, they were both assholes.As I shut his office door behind me I stomped into my office. A brief knock came on the office door and Vanessa walked with someone behind her.“I was told to direct her to your office, she’s a new client of ours.” Vanessa explained and showed the lady to the couch before my table.“Thank you.” She winked and walked out.“My name is Nora, I’m a researcher at…”I blocked out the lady before me. My mind momentarily reared back to Quinn. I scowled, did he really think because we were bound together by some stupid paper that he could treat me as trash?He didn’t even make an attempt to ask her to leave the offic

    Amanda’s POV It was as though I was hearing things. He called me selfish. I had to clench my fist to wear off the tears gathering at the corner of my eyes.My teeth clamped down on my lower lips as I made up my resolve. I would not dare cry…. I would not even dare let a trickle of tears fall down.“Is that the reason why you did it?” Aside from the cold eyes there was anger flashing through his eyes. He was so angry and I didn’t even know the reason behind it. “Is that why you went ahead and published pictures of me and Miranda? Even after knowing the consequences of that action?” He chuckled darkly. “You can actually do better than that.”His words brought a buzzing pain at the depth of my chest. I was hurt, I felt the tears scorching at the corner of my eyes from his accusation, threatening to spill any time soon. My jaw clenched and I said. “You know what? Forget about it, it’s okay, I never complain, remember?”I turned to walk away but stopped immediately, swirled and flashed m

    Amanda’s POV I rapped on the white wooden door of Vanessa’s house. There was no answer, knocking the second time, the door flew open with Vanessa standing by the threshold, arms crossed and an arched brow. “What are you doing here?”Eyeing her form, I shoved her out of the way into the house. I dropped my back on the couch and sauntered into the kitchen, opening the fridge. I took a bottle of water, peeled off the cap and gulped down.Vanessa strolled into the kitchen giving me the stare. Sighing I said, “I need a place to keep my head cool from that house, I swear if I stay there one more night I’m going to run insane.”She took an apple from the island in the kitchen. “Are you okay?” I leaned against the fridge. “What do you think? Those people are out to drive me nuts. And I’ll be damned before I let them see me actually mad.”“Come here.” She gestured to me.Reluctantly I pushed away from the fridge and walked over to her. She wrapped her arm around me, hugging me. “What happe

    Amanda’s POV Pushing the door open I saw Miranda placed her hand on his belt. I stormed inside immediately and yanked her hand away from his belt. “Get your filthy hands off my husband!” I snarled, fixing her with a hard glare. What was she trying to do to him in his unconscious form?My eyes darted to her and instead of looking of embarrassment or fear her lips were curled into a derisive smile.What the fuck?There was not a single look of remorse, fear, nothing she just smirked and crossed her hand over her chest whilst her eyes shamelessly roamed his body before my very presence.“Don’t you have any shame?” “Shame?” She chuckled, “what does it look like I was doing? I beg your pardon. If you couldn’t tell I was helping him out of his trousers.” My nose flared. “So you were helping a married man out of his trousers? Doesn’t it sound ridiculous even to you?”“Why would it? It’s not such a big deal.” She snorted. “Besides you were out, you should be grateful I was willing enough

    Amanda’s POV My brows creased into knots as I stared at him. He didn’t say anything again, he walked out.Did he really think I was cheating? That I was a whore?As if the whole idea and thought was incredulous and I was in stark disbelief, I turned to look at the door that he had exited.How could this be? How did it happen? Worse how could he?It was surprising that he had actually accused me of cheating and whoring around. Was it because I slept with him? Was I too loose?Or did he just want a case where he cheated and pinned it on the fact that I cheated I as well? I shook my head and left the room. Stepping into my room, I took out a long sleeveless dress, a jacket and a purse. I dressed and was going down before the question from granny stopped me on my tracks.“Where are you going, Amanda?” As she asked, all the necks in the dining room turned in my direction.It was something I was used to, but now I wanted to wish granny hadn’t said it in the manner that stole everyone’s hea

    Amanda’s POV “Oh my god!” I leaped and jumped practically hugging him. “Where…” I moved back, taking in his stunned and smiling face. “Where.. I can’t believe it. This is you, this is actually you.”“Maxwell!” I grinned, saying his name confirmed that he was the one before me.Maxwell….Maxwell, he was the reason I and Vanessa had this job in the first place. He introduced us to the company, worked through how their interview rolled, he even went as far as following us down for the interview just so we could get the job.When we did get the job, we’d celebrated with a drink and food right in my living room. He was a very good friend of ours and hot as hell….“Amanda.” He grinned with arms outstretched, I moved in and then he crushed me into a hug. “I’ve missed you.”“I’ve missed you too, don’t ever disappear again.” I warned him. He chuckled and disengaged from the hug. “Completely understood.” He bowed and we both chuckled.“What brought you back, where have you been all this while?

    AmandaI could not understand, for the life of me, how and why Luke was here in the first place. I had so many questions to ask him. He stood there staring at me for a few moments before walking forward."Hello, Camila. Finally I get to see you."I couldn't think of what to say, but I also couldn't leave him standing outside. That was even worse because he could easily be spotted. I had no choice but to invite him inside. At least he would be away from prying eyes until he had to leave. Surprisingly, Luke did not decline when I asked him to come in. I thought he would be angry at the fact that he found me here. Not like his opinion mattered, anyway. Hating that I had to deal with this coupled with what was already going on, I sobbed and led him into the mansion, walking straight to the living room and offering him a seat. I couldn't just leave him there regardless of how I felt. He was still a guest here, and guests had to be entertained. So I headed to the fridge and took out water

    Amanda’s POV A secret? He killed my father because of some silly secrets? And my mother kept all this from me?My head was in my palm as a strong headache overcame me. It was as if the more I thought about it the more it throbbed, pulsated. I could hardly comprehend it.How could she keep this away from me, knowing this much. I married the son of the man that killed my own father. I think what was more shocking amongst all this was the fact that she watched me get married with him without so much as an eye bat.Call it what you might but I felt betrayed. I know she wanted to bury in the past, not scale out old wounds but she should have tried. She should have warned.Some part of me blamed myself as well. I should have listened to that little chipping voice that was whispering at me to turn back. To not work in that company. To not agree to the contract…..but without that, Quinn.Gods!I fisted my hair.The more I stayed here, the more my head swarmed with different thoughts. Accusat

    Amanda’s POV Quinn was preparing for work. I immediately kicked up from the bed and ran into the bathroom. I wanted to join him to work. I loved the feeling of him driving me to work. It was cute and hot.I dashed into the bathroom and started showering. I skipped most of my routines. Just had a quick shower then sprinted out with the towel tied around my chest.Thumbling through racks of clothes, I fished out a white chiffon top with a fizzle at the hand. I brought out plain pants, a belt and my heels and a purse.I laid them out and began dressing briskly when Quinn turned to me. He stared, arched brow at me. “What are you doing?” His hand halted on his tie as he held my form in question.“What does it look like I’m doing?” As I asked I threw on my shirt, fastening my button. “I’m dressing so that I can join you for work.” I said like it wasn't the obvious.His hand dropped from his tie to his side and he faced me. “Work? Didn’t I tell you during last night’s date not to worry abo

    Amanda’s POV After Quinn left, I was by myself, smiling like an idiot before I caught myself. I shook my head and palmed my cheeks. “Get a grip girl!” I reprimanded myself and snorted, and then I was grinning again.I groaned, there was no helping this. I might as well just let it be.While smiling, I reminisce the look of rapt shock on Mrs. Rosaline’s face. Then I suddenly remembered that Candace wasn’t present for breakfast.It’s been four days now and I hadn’t set eyes on her. The woman part of me felt bad for her. And to crown it all, she was pregnant after all the humiliation and there was her husband to be, swarming around me like a damn bee.I didn’t know what I was feeling, maybe call it, feeling euphoric, and stupid. But I wanted to check up on her. My feet moved on their own accords, and before I knew it, I was towing towards her room. Without so much as a ponder.I rapped on the door and she called in, thinking it was probably a servant or a maid. When she saw me her eyes

    Quinn’s POV “You should have told me before you told them about our baby.” Amanda said, coming after me. She shut the door and sat on the bed with a bounce. She had her hand behind her whilst she looked up at me. The position suddenly ignited something feral inside of me.“You know your Aunty didn’t seem happy, only Granny was happy for us.”I leaned in, giving in a tad bit to the voice in my head. “I was just happy, feeling too in the moment,” I kissed her, a little deeper than I anticipated. Breaking away, I used my thumb on her cheeks to measure gaze with her. “I’m sorry, next time I’ll consult you before I take any action next time.”She waves it off, “it’s okay. I liked the look of surprise on their faces. Did you see the look on Miranda’s face?”“No, I didn’t,” I pulled her close, “I was too happy to notice anyone, honestly.” She brushed the hair that fell to my face back. “I just hope our baby will be safe.” The genuine worry on her face and her tone made me sit down rather

    Amanda’s POV I woke up feeling a burst of euphoric excitement all over the air. The bed was still warm from Quinn’s presence. Lying on the bed, I grinned and spread my legs and arms wide on the bed. Everything felt right, felt in place. “Mmm,” I turned to the side of Quinn’s bed and tapped gently by his side. Grinning like I won the lottery. Inside me felt so light, like I could float to the sky, to the heavenss or better to the fucking galaxy.It was refreshing finally describing what we were. Putting a label to us. It felt like a breath of fresh air knowing my place. My indefinite place.All the questioning, all the unanswered questions and the burning fear was discarded. All that was left in its wake were colourful butterflies fluttering in the bosom of my stomach.What made me leave the bed was my phone by the bed stand. Next to the alarm clock. I grabbed it and rolled on my back putting a call through to Vanessa. My one and only fan. The fan of our ship since day one.“Hellooo

    Quinn’s POV I couldn’t believe what Amanda was doing. Did she think that I didn’t know about the baby? I kept quiet, hoping she’d trust me enough to open up to me about the baby but she’d pulled a twister.When she’d called and said that she wanted to speak with me about something, I inwardly exhaled, relieved that she was finally coming to me with it, coming out clean but she instead suggested this.And what was that talk about finding love?I had learned about the pregnancy in the hospital. I was outside her ward when she asked the doctor to keep it a secret.“There’s no problem.” I said, much to her surprise. Why was she shocked? Isn’t that what she wanted?“You can go and meet the person you love, but make sure you give birth to my child first and give it to me before leaving.”Her eyes widened in shock, mouth agape with all the color drained from her features. She was stark with surprise. She opened her mouth and closed it, struggling to speak.I pushed up, tight hearted that she

    Amanda’s POV I massaged my temples, sighing. Exhaustion and terror washed through me. This wasn’t the plan, this wasn’t stated in the contract. I wasn’t supposed to get pregnant.What was going to happen to me now? I couldn’t exactly raise a child alone. I mean I could, but work, life and my age. It wasn’t something I could do alone. And at the same time I couldn’t tell Quinn. Oh, I mustn’t.I didn’t want someone to stay with me just because I was pregnant. I wasn’t that selfish to force someone to stay with me for the sake of a baby.My eyes instinctively moved to my belly. We didn’t have a contract to get pregnant because he’d known that a grown ass lady wouldn’t be so stupid to let such a casualty happen.Our contract had not ended and wasn’t going to end any time soon. He would surely see that I was pregnant. It would be horrible, subjecting Quinn to something he didn’t want. And most importantly I didn’t want someone to be with me out of duty or pity. That wasn’t what I wanted.

    Amanda’s POV As I stepped out of the house I felt woozy and my vision blurred out. I held my head to shake off the dizziness, just in the moment my eyes closed and the world spun around me. Just as I was about to fall, a hand caught me and right me. I held my head, closing my eyes for a bit.I inhaled, when I was sure my vision was clear and not drowsy anymore I peeled my eyes open to see granny staring at me. Her hand was stationed around my wrist.Her brows creased into worry, eyes accessed me.“Thank you granny Maria.” I said and she let go, after a moment of observing me.“Have you gone for the check up?” She asked and I stared oblivious to her questions and reason behind it. She spoke as if I’d discussed my dizziness with her. How did she even know?“I heard you complaining about dizziness over the phone.” She gave herself away.I stared keenly at her. My stare easily asked the question; have you been eavesdropping on me? She immediately added, prior to my questioning stare, “
