The following morning......
Amanda was woken up by a call from unknown number.
She tried to ignore it but the caller was insistent on calling.
She could only open her eyes groggily as she searched for her phone.
Remembering that she was still in the same room her mother, she hurriedly took it as to not wake her up and hurried to the bathroom.
This hospital was quite good. Atleast every private ward had a bathroom. The VIPs rooms were even better, but given their financial situation, they could not afford a VIP ward.
"Hello..." Amanda answered the phone. Her voice was little hoarse, because she has just woken up and was still half conscious.
When the person on the other hand heard her voice, his whole body turned soft. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever hard for a long period of time.
His cold heart could not help but soften at how cute his girl was.
He had already branded Amanda as his girl. Wasn't that
After hanging up the phone, Amanda parted her disoriented heart as she calmed down.She splashed water on her face and went back to the ward....On the other hand, after Richard was done talking to Amanda, his aura immediately changed.The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to negative zero as he tried to control the raging beast that was threatening to break out from his chest.He called his assistant immediately."I want you to investigate this matter thoroughly. The person who started these rumours and who he or she has been in contact with." Richard said coldly.Although Thomas was on the other side of the phone, his body trembled with fear just from listening to his boss voice.He really was enraged this time.At first he was not so sure about his boss attitude towards miss Amanda. His boss had started acting weird the moment he saw Amanda.It seems like his boss really liked this gir
At Jackson's villa.... Vallery woke up especially early so as not to miss the show. She turned on her laptop and logged into her social media account. Several news suddenly popped up and she clicked on one randomly. The more she read, the more pleased she became. Seeing Amanda being attacked by the netizens was so pleasing to the eye that she could not help but laugh out loud. Her mother who was passing by could not help but become curious. What was her daughter laughing at so early in the morning? Maybe she could go in and take a look. She knocked on the door lightly. Hearing someone knock on her door, Vallery immediately shut up. Did someone hear her laugh like a maniac just now? "Who is it?" She asked from the room. "It's mom. Open the door." Juliana answered. Hearing that it was her mother, Vallery went to open the door without hesitation.
At R&S company.... CEO'S office.....Richard looked at the information that Matt had sent him. A dangerous glint flashed in his already cold eyes.He took his phone and called Amanda."Hey, are you busy?""No. I'm just seated in the hospital chatting with my mom." Amanda answered."Have you seen the development on the internet. It seems like someone is bent on making sure that you are dead." Richard asked. His voice was filled with concern that he himself did not even notice."Yes. I have seen it. I thought that I will lay low and let the storm pass but that seem not to be the case anymore. I have no idea what to do." Amanda said honestly.Richard's heart ached when he had that. This girl has really suffered.Having seen the information that Matt had sent him, the urge to bring her under his wings became even more intense.He just wanted to love and pamper her.Amanda really wanted some
"That was the only person I could think of. And given her character, it is something that she could do, so you have just helped me confirm my guess." Amanda continued to explain. "That man is called Collins. My contact has found a lot of dirt on him. It seems like he is used to doing this kind of work." "In that photo, Vallery was going to give him his payment. That is their usual meeting place. Their relationship is deep because that man has helped Vallery to do a lot of dirty work." Richard gave her a recording. After listening to what Vallery said, her face turned frosty. So she really wanted her to leave the entertainment industry. Was it because she auditioned and got the role while Vallery failed that is why she harboured so much hatred for her. She had already taken everything away from her. Her family, her stupid fiancee yet she still wanted to mess with her, she will not allow that to happen. "Will this be enough to clea
R&S company. When director Alex entered the office, he was startled to find that Amanda was also there. He looked between the two people and could not control is thoughts from running wild. "Hello Richard." He greeted the big boss. It seems like they had a good relationship depending on how they interacted. Richard just looked at him with a raised eyebrows and did not say anything. "I did not know that Amanda was here too." Director Alex eyed the man suspiciously. "Hello director Alex." Amanda took the initiative to greet him. "Hello... how do you two know each other?" Director Alex could not help but ask with a gossipy expression. Amanda gave a troubled look to the man sitting next to her. What was their relationship, were they even considered friends? Amanda was not too naive as to think that Richard was just helping her blindly, he must want something in return. And what he sai
At the hospital, all hell had broke loose.After Peter confirmed that Evelyne was in deed at City A People's Hospital, he rushed over.He did not want to wait any longer as he had no where to vent his anger.He just wanted to teach that unfilial daughter of his a lesson.When he rushed to the ward, he pushed the door open. He was too lazy to even knock.Evelyn who has been resting heard some noises from her ward and opened her eyes.What met her eyes was a pair of enraged eyes. They were staring daggers at her and she felt uncomfortable."What are you doing here." She sat up as she asked the man before. Gone were the days when she was infatuated with this man that she will do anything just to please him. She sacrificed half her life helping this stupid man but all she got as payment was ridicule, humiliation and disgrace. Now she did not even want to look him."What I'm I doing here? Evelyn, do you know what you precious
“Will my mom be okay?” Amanda cried as she leaned in Richard’s arms. He hugged her tightly as he consoled her in a gentle voice. “Auntie is a good person and she will be alright. You just need to be strong for her.” “It is all my fault. If I had known this will happen, I would not have left her alone.” Amanda blamed herself. “It is not your fault. But don’t worry we will soon find out who it was.” Richard said. Amanda hugged him tightly as she felt a sense of security. His hard chest gave her a feeling that this man was reliable and he could not let her suffer. Amanda raised her face which was full of tears and looked at Richard. “Thank you, Richard.” She said in a tender voice. Hearing her call his name for the first time, Richard was excited as he looked at her gently. “Why are you thanking me. No one forced me to do this. I’m doing it at my own will. Don’t feel burdened. I just want to show you my sincerity so that you
Vallery calmed down and went back to the house. She did not have the mood to act filial again and keep her dad company."Dad, I will be going to my room. I have some matters to deal with so I will not keep you company.""Go ahead and so your things. I'm fine. I also want to go and get some rest." Peter waved his hand.Vallery rushed upstairs at a lighting speed. She did not even remember that she was still in the first phase of her pregnancy and she had to be careful.She opened the parcel hastily and poured all the content on her bed.They were pictures of her and Collins when she had gone to give him his payment.They were taken very clearly. It was as if the photographer was just in the vicinity.There was also a note in the parcel written very clearly in bold letter."Five million. Tomorrow five o'clock. Or everyone knows that you are the mastermind behind Amanda's scandal.""We have a recording too. Don'
...... 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
