AMANDA'S POVđI enter the penthouse, itâs dark and quiet so I guess everyone has gone to bed.Itâs very late now, I had stayed back because I thought I could catch up with that shadow and confirm if he was really Danteson.But unfortunately I lost him. I rushed upstairs to mine and Milanâs room.I open the door and step in hoping to find Milan already asleep, but my little boy was sitting on the bed playing with Mike.âMilan?â I called him in a sing song tone.âMom!!â He exclaims happily when he sees me.He stands up from the bed and stretch out his hands for me to carry him.âMilan, itâs way past your bedtime. Why are you still awake? Didnât Gigi tuck you in bed?ââShe did and I was sleeping, but uncle started beating Gigi and she started screamingâ he paused and look at Mike, throwing him a harsh glare. âSo, I went to save herâI turn to Mike with a deep frown.âMike? What happened? Why did you beat Gigi?ââI didnât beat herâ Mike defend himself.âYou did! I saw you! You were sweat
GIGI'S POV đDanteson stands in front of us with his hands tuck in his pocket, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.His eyes flick to Amanda and I see series of emotions display in his eyes, but it was just for a split second.âI am what?â He asked.I let out a nervous laugh but Amanda doesnât react.She was rather glaring daggers at him, her gaze challenging him.âDante, w-we were talking about how awesome you were that dayâ I said, I managed to make my voice firm.âWhich day?ââThe day you saved us from Alonzo and JaydenâHe nods and laughs.Humph! Even his laughter sounds suspicious.âReally? You were amazed at my grand entry?âI furrow my eyebrows a bit.Grand entry for rescuing people?.He takes slow malicious steps towards Amanda, Amanda on the other hand doesnât quiver away, she stands still.âDanteson!âWe heard Mike call him from upstairs.Danteson halt his steps and turned to Mike, his expression changes drastically.He wipes the smirk off his face and wore a big smil
MIKE'S POVđâMr Luthra,Dr. Martin is waiting for you in his officeâ a nurse inform me.I nod and head straight to Martinâs office.âMartinââYoung bossâWe shake hands,âPlease have a sitâI sat down and rest my arm on his table, I tap my finger tips on the table.âYou said you have some news for meââYesâ he pause. âSo, good news or bad news, which one do you want first?ââGood newsâHe clears his throat,âCarl is awake!âI stop taping the table and look at him,âHeâs awake?â He nods. âWhen?ââAbout three hours agoâI stand up.I rush out to Carlâs ward. I open the door and rush in. I see Carl sitting on the bed, his head resting on the headrest.He is on his phone, so he doesnât see me.âCarl!!âHe lifts his head and sees me, he smile widely and open his mouth to speak, I guess, but nothing comes out.No sound at all.His smile wipes off as he frowns deeply in confusion.He pass Martin a questioning look.âMr Adams, I am sorry but you are going to stay dumb for some time, your tongu
GIGI'S POVđJaydenâŚ.He is alive.. wait, maybe I am imagining things.I take slow steps closer to him, I reach out and touch his cheeks to confirm if I am really seeing him.Itâs him, he is really alive. He is standing in front of me, I am not dreaming.The flowers fall from my hand as I throw myself into his arms, he wrap his arms around me and hug me to himself.I bury my face in his shoulder and begin to cry.âJayden⌠itâs you⌠itâs really you!ââYes, il mio cuore, itâs me. I am aliveâI cried on his shoulder for some minutes, I move away from him but didnât stop shedding tears and whimpering.I look at him all round, he has bandages wrap around his head, his right arm seems to be in a cast before.In fact he has bandages all over him.I turn back to Diana with a smile, but she didnât smile back.She is just looking at Jayde with a surprise expression, her mouth hanging open as if she is finding it difficult to speak.âHow?â She finally speaks. âI-I.. I saw them bury your body? Ho
AMANDA'S POV đI am highly disappointed at Gigiâs behavior, what she did was so not cool.And I know Mikeâs temperament, he is going to kill Jayden. I need to stop him, I have to stop.This is not the time for Gigi and Mike to be fighting.If they continue fighting like this, Danteonâs plan will easily succeed.Hmm, I guess I am not going to move out for now.I canât leave this immature Gigi, I donât think she can survive without my guide.I turned to Gigi, she is still crying and whimpering softly.âAmanda please help me stop Mikeâ she cries.âYou cheated him, do you know that before you came Mike wasnât the type to settle for one woman? But because he met you and fell in love with you, he has stopped clubbing with other women. He doesnât even give them a second glance, but how did you repay him⌠by kissing another manââI am sorry, I didnât mean to hurt him. I am sorryââYou should be telling Mike all this not meââI know, please help meâShe look so pitiful right now. Milan walk c
MIKE đI paced to and fro in front of my bed as Dr. Martin does some check up on Gigi. Maybe I am imagining it, but I keep hearing my heart making some weird sounds.Itâs almost as if some little drummers are inside drumming their drums, with every glance I take at Martinâs expression the sound increases.Amanda standing next to him, while Milan squatting next to her.Finally, Martin packed up his medicine kits and turn to me.âHow is she?â I ask anxiously.âThank God you arrived in time, she doesnât seem to be in any danger nowâ he replies.I sigh in relief. I tilt my head and saw her eyes are still closed, but her chest is moving and I know sheâs breathing.âYoung boss, I donât think she hanged herselfâ Martin said.I furrow my eyebrows,âWhat do you mean?ââAccording to my observation she was knocked out before she was hangedââKnocked out? By who?â I turned to Amanda. âAmanda, did you see anyone come inside?âShe shakes her head.âNo. No one came inââIf you didnât see anybody co
#FLASHBACK#.Amanda tried contacting Mike but he seems to be ignoring her calls. I thought of calling him myself but I realized I am the cause of his anger, he wouldnât want to talk to me right now.âAmanda, what are we going to do now? I am really sorry and I need to let him know thatââDonât worry, I know what will get him home within the twinkling of an eyeâSo Amanda came up with a trick that will get Mike home quickly. âI will lie to him that you want to jump off the balconyâ she suggests.I think about it, I donât think Mike would buy that.It doesnât sound convincing enough, so I shake my head in disagreement.âThat wonât workâ I said.There was silence as Amanda continues thinking.She suddenly gasped loudly and smiled.âI know, letâs pretend you want to hang yourself. He will believe it, he will definitely believe itâI donât know if he will believe it or not but I agreed, at least itâs more convincing.I sigh, âBut you will have to stay in your room until he gets back, if he
GIGI'S POV đI opened my eyes and groaned as a piercing pain stroke my head. I sit open and look around, I am still in I and Mikeâs room.Phew! Danteson didnât kidnap me. My eyes zero on the clock, a gasp leaves my mouth.How did I sleep this long. I wanted to make an apology breakfast. I rip the covers off me and jump down the bed. Just then the door opened and I see Mike striding in with a tray in his hands.Okay, like seriously I donât understand my husband. He was angry at me and still caring for me at the same time? Is he normal?.Anyway I pass him a smile but he just keeps his blank face on..I got back on the bed, he puts the tray on the nightstand. A plate of pancakes, a glass of milk and some medicines are on it.âGood morning, MikeââMorningâ he replies with no emotion.He uses his palm to feel my temperature,âHow are you feeling?â He asked.âI am fineâI try to lock gaze with him but he doesnât let me, he keeps moving his eyes away from mine.He is acting so indifferent to
