The people who were waiting outside the audition room for Amanda to embarrass herself and come out in tears were bound to be disappointed.
They waited for more than thirty minutes and they were starting to get restless.
"What is happening inside? How comes that country bumpkin is not yet out?"
"Who knows, maybe she won't come out alive. She must have been scolded untill she lost her mind and she wants us to leave before she comes out."
"Could it be that director Alex was pleased with her and chose her instead?"
"Are you kidding me? If the famous goddess Charity was not chosen, could that thing even stand a chance?"
One hour late, most of the people had left because they were tired of waiting.
But those who liked to caused trouble were still there ready to laugh at Amanda.
...
Meanwhile, in the audition room, Amanda was finalising reviewing the contract and she was very pleased with the conditions that the
At Jackson's Villa. Peter had already gone back to inform his family of the sudden news and the fact that Amanda knew everything. "What did you just say? Amanda knew everything?" Juliana asked in disbelief. She could not accept the fact that she will not have the chance to humiliate Amanda and her mother. "Yes. She confessed to me that she knew everything and she is the one who informed grandma Catherine causing her to faint from the shock. We do not even know when she will wake up. And now the family does not want to hear anything concerning the engagement." Peter Jackson said. "Vallery, it is a risky time now. Now that grandma knows everything, we don't know what she will do once she wakes up. You need to stay close to Jason and keep him company. We cannot lose this connection." "Yes dad. Don't worry. I will call Jason and I will go to the hospital later." ... After Amanda and her mother were done having
"Brother Jase...." Both of them turned around to look, and what greeted their eyes was a delicate figure dressed in a long brown dress. She looked very delicate and had an innocent expression on her face. Who else could it be if not Vallery Jackson. Seeing the person approaching, Jason's eyes turned warm and gentle like a spring breeze. The coldness from before disappeared without a trace. "Sister you are here too. I did not know. I could have brought some super for you too. I only came with enough for one person." Val said the moment she stopped beside them. She looked at Amanda and then at Jason and wondered what the two were talking about and how long they have been talking to each other. When she saw her brother Jase looking at Amanda with that gaze, she was filled with hate and jealous and just wanted to rip that bitch apart. But in front of Jason, she had to maintain her innocent image. "Why are you he
"Sister, what are you talking about? Although I was hurt when I heard the news but I already forgave you. After all not many people are as blind as me and I did not see how good you two looked together. It was my ignorance for thinking that I deserve Jason and that we should be together but seeing the two of you together makes me realize many things that I had ignored before." Amanda said innocently. She glanced from the corner of her eyes and saw that Jason's expression was filled with guilty before she continued. "You know what sister, I really love Jason with all my heart and I'm willing to do anything for him. So how could you think that I want to do something bad to him when I can't even bear to see him frown. Even if it kills me I will continue to support him in whatever decision he makes. He decided that you are the best for him. Yes I love him but I can't prevent him from loving whoever he want. He can have as many girl friends as he want but I will sti
"Grandma how are you feeling?" Amanda asked the moment she entered the room. "I'm feeling much better." Grandma answered in a weak voice. "It is good that you are feeling better. I was worried and feeling guilty all day because it was me who caused you to end up in the hospital. I'm sorry." "Don't be. It was not your fault. I did not expect that Jason could do something so shameful and even everyone in the family would support him." "Sorry grandma. I thought that you knew too that is why I was shocked when you reminded me that it was my engagement day. I too had only found out recently and was still recovering from the shock." "I don't even want to see that scoundrel. How could he do this to you after all that you have been together?" Grandma was so furious that she started coughing profusely. Amanda was shocked as she hurriedly poured her a cup of warm water. "Grandma calm down. You have just been out of su
The next morning, Amanda woke up early and prepared herself to go to the set.The shooting had been delayed because of the second female lead so it was set to begin as soon they found a suitable actress.She had spent the night in the hospital with her mom. After waking up, she went to buy breakfast for her mother and herself too.It was a good thing that there was a restaurant near the hospital so she did not need to waste a lot of time trying to find one.After buying what she needed, she went back to the hospital.Since her mother was still sleeping, Amanda did not want to wake her up, so she just ate her breakfast silently before leaving after giving her mother a peck on the cheek.***Amanda took the subway directly to the filming location.To her luck, the filming location was not far away from the hospital so it only took her thirty minutes on the road.It was also good taking the subway because she was n
It was a tough day for Amanda. After they were done filming, she felt like her whole body was being tone apart. She felt like she had just been given a good beating and her whole body was aching. She dragged her tired body to the dressing room to change into her own clothes. On her way to the changing room, many crew members greeted her and congratulated her on her good acting. "Miss Amanda you did great today. Where did you learn your acting. It felt as if your character has come to life." One of the crew said. "It felt so surreal. Your cold and domineering attitude. You almost overpowered the male lead. I think you should quit acting and become a major general." Another one added jokingly. Hearing that, Amanda was amused and she could not control herself from laughing out loud. "Thank you guys. But you won't believe me when I tell you that it is my first time acting. I have not even studied in any art school. I think th
Evelyne looked at her daughter and then at Richard and wondered if these two already knew each other. She had a contemplative look in her eyes as she observed the two. "Auntie, about your condition I will talk to doctor Martin and see what can be done. It will be even better if the surgery will be scheduled early on before your condition worsened." "You don't have to worry about that. Amanda is working really hard and I will have the surgery once she gets paid." As she said so, she looked at her daughter with pity. It was her responsibility as a mother to give her daughter a good life. But here she was lying in a hospital bed while her daughter faced the cruel world on her own. She really failed as a mother. But once she gets better she will make up for it. They will face the challenges together and her daughter will never suffer again. "You do not have to worry about the bill. I will take care of it. And you cannot ref
She was really a stubborn girl but he loved it. "I know I'm handsome and no woman can resist my charm. I won't be surprised if you fell in love with me. In fact I will gladly accept you." Amanda was angry that she almost stomped her feet. She did not know what came over her just a moment ago. She had to admit that this man was really handsome and very charming but she cannot be attracted to him. The good the looks were the more dangerous it was for her to dive in. Moreover looks are very deceiving and she cannot fall for this man. "Yes you are very handsome sir and every woman would not resist your charm. But I'm different from every woman. I don't fall for such little tricks. How many women have you deceived with your looks untill you took them to your bed?" Amanda asked sarcastically. By now she had already calmed her frantic heart down. "There is none." Richard answered subconsciously. Amanda sudd
...... Two weeks went by in a blink of an eye. Today was Amanda and and Richard's seventh wedding anniversary. Richard woke up early to do nothing but admire his wife's perfect feature. Time has not left a mark on her face and she was addictive to look at. Amanda opened her eyes slowly and was met by a set of deep, full of emotions eyes staring right at her. "Happy 7th marriage anniversary my queen." Richard said with a smile. "Huh?" Amanda had just woken up so her mind was slow to process. "Happy 7th marriage anniversary, my queen." Richard repeated himself. After realising what he was saying, Amanda was shocked. So much had passed but it all felt like yesterday. Her eyes teared up. "Thank you for providing me with a home I thought I would never have." Amanda said emotionally. "That you too, for everything and for betting your whole life on me." Richard said, kissing her forehead lightly. "You are the best husb
Evelyne had been rushed to the hospital where she woke up shortly after her wound was treated. She directly went to see her daughter even though the doctors had told her to rest for a little more. Amanda had given birth to twins and she was now resting in the VIP ward. Due to the exhaustion from pushing the babies, she fainted right after giving birth and she was yet to wake up. Richard was worried about her and had not left her side. "Doctor, will my wife be okay?" Richard asked. "Of course. She just fainted from being exhausted. Her due date had not arrived so she was not mentally prepared, she should be waking up before tomorrow morning." The doctor said. Although Richard had asked that same question hundred times, the doctor still answered him patiently. "Can I see the babies?" "Yes you can, after they have been cleaned." The doctor said.. Richard was excited about his wife giving him two cute babies, a
She greeted everyone, but all of them except grandma Catherine scoffed at her. She did not care about their attitude and sat down. Making herself feel at home. "How is Amanda?" Catherine asked with concern. "Richard called just now and said that there was some accident at home. She was rushed to the hospital. If not for the fact that I was almost here, I could have gone immediately." Hearing that his daughter was in the hospital, Peter had no time to waste. He knew that Evelyne won't be staying for long. It was good enough that she managed to come. "Okay, since everyone is here, let's begin." Peter said as he took out some documents from his briefcase and distributed them among the people who were sitting in the living room. They did not understand what and why Peter was giving them the documents but never the less, they took them. Skimming through them, everyone was shocked. "Uncle, what is the meaning of this?" Jason wa
The following day, Amanda woke up at midday. She had slept too well without any dreams.She was greeted with a pair of deep eyes staring at her. She almost screamed out loud because she was still disoriented from her sleep. Only after she heard the familiar scent did she calm down."Hey, aren't you going to work?""Nope. My paternity leave starts today. I will accompany you until you give birth.""But there are still some more days until delivery.""It's okay. I covered upto three months work. If there is nothing serious, I told Thomas not to disturb me.""Bu.....""No buts. Everything is settled don't worry."Seeing that he was insistent, Amanda could only surrender.Richard looked at her with a deep gaze."What is it?""Err!" Richard was embarrassed to say what was on his mind.He had actually not gotten a wink the whole night and kept thinking about what Amanda had told him.She was r
After thinking about what the doctor told her during their last visit, Amanda blushed. She never knew that she will apply the method today.She had kept mum about it but seeing how much Richard had done for her, and the fact that he was still respecting her even when he was on the verge of losing control, Amanda felt even more guilty. Although she felt guilty, the feeling of being loved and treasured intensified in her heart. She too wanted to make the man who loved her feel loved.She looked at the man who was enduring his feeling for her sake and touched his face gently."Do you want to say hi to your little bun?" Amanda asked."What?" Richard was focused on fumbling with her breasts that he did not hear her well."Do you want to talk to your little bun?" Amanda repeated her question, this time in a seductive voice."Yes." As Richard said that, he placed his ears on Amanda's belly, probably having not understood what Amanda was imply
When Vallery came back, she found her mother lying weakly on bed. Her face was ashen. She did not see her father anywhere."Mom, where is dad?" Val asked, not caring that her mother was not in the right condition.Although she has been pretending to be sick, but because of what Peter had said, she was now truly sick.Getting no reaction from her, Val became vexed."Mom, where did dad go?" She only cared if her scheme had succeeded or not.Not being able to stand her interrogation, Juliana opened her mouth and answered weakly, "he already left.""Did you get the number?""No."Vallery immediately flared up."Is there something that you are really capable of? All you know is mess things up. I have never seen such an incompetent mother who could not even do something for her daughter." With that, she threw the lunch that she had painstakingly used her money to buy and walked out of the door angrily.Her mother was st
Juliana hunged up the phone to plan her next strategy but to her dismal she could not find where Evelyne lived no matter how much she tried.But that was because Peter had blocked her people from finding out where Evelyne lived.Peter had even stopped coming home and Juliana could not stomach the humiliation, all she could was go to William's family almost everyday to spend time with Liz and her daughter."Mom, why are you here again?" Vallery asked when she saw her mother again.For the past three months, apart from coming here to vent her anger all day, Juliana did nothing else.Even a simple assignment as finding where Amanda and her mother stayed was hard for her.Vallery could not help but feel displeased. She had been doing all she could to return to the limelight and even did some charity, but it seemed like everything was going down the drain. No matter what she did, nothing seemed to work.And now her mother has come again to
The following morning as expected, Amanda was trending in all news platforms. Be it Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Amanda was the highlight.Her popularity had skyrocketed and everyone was sorting her to be their ambassador. Movie scripts piled up and even television shows and dramas were not left behind.Amanda was overwhelmed by the sudden popularity."Ooh my! It feels good to be popular overnight." Amanda lamented as she laid in Richard's arm lazily."Do you want to remain in the limelight and maintain your popularity?" Richard asked, basking in the feeling of hugging his wife."But..." Amanda bit on her lower and did not finish her statement. But Richard understood her worries..."Don't worry about that." Richard said as he kissed her on the neck.Vallery on the hand was expecting to ride on Amanda's popularity, but after looking through and seeing that her name was not mentioned anywhere, she did not know how to take i
Amanda eyed her coldly. She has never forgotten her past memories. The day that Juliana showed her father those pictures. Claiming that her mother had cheated on him.No matter how much they tried to explain, her father could not listen to them. Vallery and her mother were gleeful as they helped throw their stuff outside.That was when Amanda saw their true nature. After she and her mother had treated them like family.They were chased out with nothing, not even a single penny.She had not forgotten how Vallery had treated her when she was her assistant. How she had entertained those investors on her behalf because she could not drink.Amanda remembered all of them. After her rebirth, she had vowed to take revenge on everyone that made her life hard in her past life. She was consumed with rage and all she wanted was revenge.But after meeting Richard and testing the sweetness of living a happy life, she changed her mind. There wa
