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'
The following morning...At Hill's hotel...The reporters were waiting anxiously for director Alex to come on stage.They have been waiting for almost thirty minutes and there was no sign of the protagonist. They were starting to get impatient."Say.... was it a prank?" One of the reporters could not help but ask."Maybe. I have always known that director Alex does not involve himself in such scandals but it seems that we have all been fooled.""I have always been a biggest fan of his work and I have never missed to follow up any news concerning him. But this time I was truly disappointed. I will never support a celebrity so blindly."It was noisy in the conference room as everyone was giving their opinion.Suddenly the door was pushed from outside. The reporters aimed their cameras towards the door, not wanting to miss any explosive news.Director Alex walked in followed by his assistant director Ethan
Her mother had already woken up after six hours. The doctor said that she had a strong will to live that is why she work up earlier than anticipated. Her recovery was also going great although she was still weak.Richard left yesterday in the middle of the night after talking to doctor Martin. He still had a company to manage so he could not stay up all night.He was worried that Peter might come back to make trouble so he arranged for some bodyguards to stay guard out side the ICU.Although Evelyn was awake, she still had to be under strict observation so she was still in the ICU but Amanda was allowed to go in and stay with her...."Big boss... it is done." Director Alex called Richard the moment he left the press conference. "You can just wait for good news."Although he was older than Richard, but he respected him because most of his movies were invested by R&S group of companies. He had long regarded Richard as his big boss.
"Mom, what did you and dad about?" Amanda asked her mother as she helped her to sit up. "Nothing. He had come here to condemn you and I wouldn't let that happen." Evelyn answered. "I know. He already disowned me infront of the public. Now I don't feel anything for him. Even the resentment I had for him is gone. He is just like any other passerby in my life." Amanda said. Although she had hated her father after waking up, but she still craved for the love and warmth that she had missed, hoping that one day they will reconcile and let bygones be bygones. He had crushed her hopes yesterday making Amanda wake up from her delusion. To her, the dad she knew was no more. "Ooh he did that. I just told him out of anger. I did not know that he will really have the guts to do." Evelyn said, feeling bad for her daughter. Maybe if she had not said that to her ex-husband, Amanda would still have a father. "I'm sorry Amanda. I was just
At six o'clock Amanda was already outside the gates of R&S company. She looked at the tall building with envy. If only one day she will get the chance to come and work in this huge company. She did not think too much about it before she called Richard. "Hello, I'm outside your company." "I will be there right away." Richard replied. When Amanda said that she will treat him to dinner, he had rushed his work and by 5.30PM, he was already done. He had resisted the urge to go and find her. She might think bad of him. But the remaining thirty minutes felt like a lifetime. Every now and then, he will glance at his watch. Receiving the call he had been waiting for, he immediately grabbed his court and sprinted out of office. The workers who were still in the office were astonished when they saw their boss in such a hurry. He was almost running. They could only shook their head and continue working. Their bo
At William's family villa. The family of five including Vallery were having dinner at huge oval shaped dining table. Grandpa James was sitting at the head of the table. On his right was Jason's father, Anderson and on his left was Jason. Liz was sitting next to her husband while Vallery was sitting next to Jason looking all shy. "Vallery, what would like to eat. Has your reaction been worse?" Liz asked "No mom. My taste has not changed that much. And a part from vomiting once in a while, everything is good." "That is good. It looks like the little guy is considerate about her moms condition." "When I had Jason, I had the worst reaction. I could vomit at anything that irritate me. I did not want to even come in contact with the smell of an onion. That was the worst. It made me sick." "Jason was a very stubborn child before he was even born." Liz looked at her son with love and indulgence. Afte
...... 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
