In the cafe opposite...
Richard ordered tea for Amanda and helped her sit down.
Mandy looked at her coldly feeling uncomfortable.
Just then Richard's phone rung. He took it out to look at the caller. He gave Mandy a warning gaze before he excused himself to answer the call.
Mandy did not notice that gaze as she was busy seizing up Amanda.
"Did you know that Richard and I are engaged?" Mandy asked Amanda the moment Richard left.
Amanda looked at her puzzled.
When was her business to know what people Richard is engaged to. They are not even together so she definitely knows nothing about him.
"It seems like he does trust you enough. Maybe you are just a plaything for him to pass time." Mandy smacked sarcastically.
"I want you to name your price and stay away from Richard from now onwards." Mandy said.
"I don't understand what miss is talking about." Amanda feigned ignorance.
This woman was now getting on
Richard was shocked when Amanda hugged him. But it was only for a second before he hugged her back tightly. It was if he wanted to merge his body with hersThey stayed in that position for sometime before Amanda let go.She had already come to a decision. She did not know if she will regret it in the future but for now she just wanted the man before her to feel the warmth that he has constantly been giving her."Richard..." Amanda called out softly."Huh.." Richard looked at her with a tender gaze.He was still reeling in the feeling of being hugged by her."I don't want you to wait anymore." Amanda said. She was shy that she did not dare look at him in the eye."I don't understand." Richard said in confusion.Amanda was abashed that she did not want to repeat. But she gathered her courage and looked at Richard in the eyes."I said that I don't want you to wait anymore. I'm willing to be your....."Before Am
The following day...Vallery had already gone back home from the William's family.Jason was coming to pay the bride price. Grandma had allowed them to hold a small wedding after too much persuasion."Make sure everything is perfect. I don't want my in-laws to feel out of place. If anything goes wrong be prepared to pack your staff." Juliana commanded the servants.She had woken up very early in the morning to prepare. They have been looking forward to this day since Vallery started dating Jason....On Amanda's side.A phone call woke her up from her drowsy state."Hello..." She said drowsily."Still lazing around in bed." A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone.Richard was wiping the sweat on his body. He has just completed an intense work out and he was sweating profusely."What time is it?" Amanda asked."It's 7a.m." Richard checked his wrist watch and answered.
"Madam, those from William family are here." The maid said anxiously. When the door rang, she had hurried to check and saw the people from William family standing at the door.They were not many. Jason, his mother and his father and a few servants who helped them carry several bags of gifts.Juliana hurried to the door. She straightened her clothes and touched her hair."Do I look presentable?" She asked the maid who was standing at the door."Yes madam. You look absolutely stunning." The maid said."Okay, you should go back to the kitchen. Let them hurry up with the cooking."The maid left.Peter had also gone downstairs the moment he heard the door bell ringing.Juliana opened the door with a huge smile plastered on her face."Come in... come in. Don't keep standing at the door." Juliana welcomed them in.The William's family entered the house. For Liz and Jason, this was not there first time coming to Jac
The following day was Monday. Amanda arrived on set very early in the morning.The shooting was going smoothly and they only had a few days to finish shooting the whole movie.After her scandal, many people on set had become her friends. Her acting skills were also good. Many people chose to support her. But some of them could not just swallow their jealousy. They tried playing little tricks like keeping Amanda's lunch and water, but she did not care.They will soon go their separate ways. It was a waste of her energy to keep fighting them.Today's scene....Jane was sitting in her office looking at the intelligence report the Vanessa had sent over.She did not completely trust Vanessa and she had also taken a step foward and collected her own data. As expected, Vanessa's report was vague and did not disclose everything. If they used the report that Vanessa had sent over, their mission will definitely fail and it will not look go
Amanda deliberately delayed so that she would be the last to leave. She did not want to arouse any suspicion when people saw her entering Richard's car."What took you so long?" Richard asked the moment Amanda sat on the passenger seat."Have you waited for long?" Amanda asked as she fastened her seat belt."No. Around ten minutes." Richard said."I wanted people to leave first. If I'm seen entering in such a luxurious car just after my scandal, will I not be shooting myself in the foot again?" Amanda said."It was not in vain too. I found someone talking about me in the washroom. I did not know that a lot of people were spying on me." Amanda said."Who was talking about you. Tell me and I will teach them a lesson." Richard said."Don't worry about it. I have already called director Alex and he will deal with it." Amanda said.When she looked at Richard, she found that his expression was not right."What is with your exp
In the private room where Jason and his friends were gathered. Jason kept on drinking glass after glass of wine and did not talk much. He seemed to be in a bad mood. "Buddy, what is wrong. You seem to be in a bad mood?" Mike asked. One of his buddies. "Yes, since you came you have only been drinking. Have you even been listening to what we have been talking about?" Dan asked. "I'm okay guys. You go on with your business. Today I'm not in the mood to have fun." Jason said as he drowned another glass of wine in one gulp. "What is wrong with him. We specifically came out here to celebrate his successful marriage proposal. Why is he acting as if he is forced to get married?" Mike asked. "Nelson what happened on the way here. You are the one who came with him. Wasn't he cheerful on the phone just a while ago?" They all turned to look at Nelson. Nelso shrugged his shoulders not knowing what to say. He looked at Jason and also drowned
After messing around some more, the two lovebirds finished their dinner and left hand in hand.When they reached the entrance, Amanda saw Jason leaning on the pillar at the entrance and smoking a cigarette. She was not planning on going over to say hi, after all he was among the last people Amanda wanted to come in contact with. She took Richard hand and led him in a different direction. But how could Jason let her leave, after all she is the one he has been waiting for."Amanda, can we talk?" Jason said as he flicked the cigarette ashes in the nearby dustbin.Amanda stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around and looked at Jason coldly."What is there anything to talk about between us?" Amanda asked coldly.Richard also turned around and looked at him. But unsurprisingly, Jason did not falter this time. He did not know where he found the courage to face Richard, if it was on a normal day, he was sure that he would never dare face this man head
One week later, "The Secret Mission" was finally completed. Everyone was in a celebratory mood as they hugged each other. "This journey has been a rollercoaster to most of us. Thank you everyone for you cooperation. Those who have shown great professionalism, I appreciate you. Continue with the same spirit and you will definitely go far." Director Alex said. "I have booked dinner at Hills Hotel, let's go there and celebrate. Our biggest investor will also be attending and some others." Director Alex said as everyone cheered on. ... At Hills Hotel, the mood was good as everyone was exchanging contacts and talking about their next project. "Amanda, what are you planning to do since we are done filming? Have you thought of the agency you want to join?" Stacy asked Amanda. Although they were enemies in the movie, but during the whole filming, they have developed a close relationship and they could be considered friends. "I have tho
...... 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
