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
Dinner at Panari hotel went well.After dinner, Richard sent Amanda back to the hospital. He used that chance to take a look at Amanda's mom. After making sure that everything was alright he left feeling relieved.He ordered some bodyguards to keep guard at Amanda's mom ward fearing that someone might come to disturb them.The doctor had said that she will be transferred from the intensive care unit to a normal ward tomorrow for her to recuperate well."Mom I'm going to see grandma. You can rest I will be back later."Since Amanda was resuming filming tomorrow, she wanted to see grandma. She feared that she might be too busy thus might not have the time to pay her a visit...."Amanda you are here!" Grandma called out when she saw Amanda approaching."I have come to take a look. How are you feeling." Amanda asked as she approached the bed.There was a Auntie Lona feeding her porridge."I'm fine already. I wi
The movie "The secret mission" entailed an operation where the special forces were to retrieve an important data for their technological development.Amanda was playing the role of Jane, who was most trusted subordinate of their chief.The missions were ranked according to their importance and urgency.The female lead role Vanessa which was played by the best actress of the year Stacy was also a major general in the army.Stacy and Jane were rivals who fought with each other because each one of them wanted to be promoted to stand beside their chief.Both of them had fallen in love with their commander in chief and they wanted to gain his favour.Today's scene was where Amanda's troop and Stacey's troops were sparring.The chief had released a message that there is a T level mission to be undertaken and the best team will be given the mission. T was the highest ranked mission in their army and brought one immense glor
Today being a Saturday, Amanda slept until she woke up naturally. They were not filming on weekends so they can take time to relax.A smell of a delicious aroma wafted in her nose jolting her awake.Her stomach grumbled on the smell of food coming from the kitchen.She woke up and went directly to the kitchen without even washing her face.In the kitchen, Evelyne was skillfully frying some eggs for breakfast."Mom, you don't look like someone who has just undergone a heart surgery. You are so full of energy. You even woke up early to make breakfast." Amanda said as she approached the kitchen."I have been lying down for a long time I feel like if I lie down anymore some mould would grow on my body." Evelyne said."Today is a weekend. You should sleep some more. You have worked hard. You need to rest so you can replenish your energy. I don't want you to grow old fast.""I'm fine mom. I was woken by the aroma of food.
"What kind of house do you want?" Richard asked as he drove Amanda out of the hospital."Didn't you say just now that you know quite some good places." Amanda asked, puzzled."That was just an excuse to convince Auntie and also to make you not refuse my request of accompanying you." Richard with a straight face.'How thick is this man's skin. How could he lie without even flinching.' Amanda thought."But since it is a weekend and we are both free, we can look around, if we find anything good then we take it." Richard said.Amanda had no objections and just nodded her head...."Grandma how are you feeling?" Jason asked after entering the ward."I'm fine. I just want to leave this place." Grandma Catherine said."Okay grandma. We are here to take you home." Jason said."Val, come help me hold grandma." Jason said as he beckoned Vallery who was standing at the side.They helped grandma up and put her on a whe
...... 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
