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
Richard slowly pushed the door to the private room where Amanda and the crew were having their party.Cyndy looked at her watch and was confused. Didn't she tell that scumbag to wait until ten minutes were over. There was still one more minutes. But some people did not know what was going on in Cyndy's mind and immediately pushed Amanda towards the door. They only wanted to watch the show that will unfold.When the door was opened, a slender but a well build body came into people's view. Some people gasped while others dropped their wine glasses.The man who was standing at the door was absolutely breathtaking. With a pair of gold rimmed glasses on his handsome face. His nose was long and straight. His pinkish lips were pressed into a thin line.He was wearing an black English tuxedo suit which enhanced his broad shoulder. Inside was a white shirt and a light brow bow tie. It seemed like he had come from a formal gathering.His trousers were
During the whole dinner time, Cyndy tried to get close to Richard but she was not successful and since she was still feeling uneasy after almost being caught, she did not make it obvious.Richard sat their quietly only concentrating on Amanda. He could only nod his head if someone asked him a question.Cyndy was very jealous. She had seen this man when she attended a dinner party with her father one time. Since that day, she had dreamed of different scenarios of them meeting again. She never thought that after seeing him again, she will never even have the chance of getting closer.She now regretted playing that game. If she had not wanted to embarrass Amanda maybe she will be the one sitting beside Richard now.Feeling a cold gaze on her, Amanda turned around and met Cyndy's cold eyes. They were filled with undisguised hate and envy. Seeing that, Amanda decided to infuriate her further as she smiled at her provocatively.After dinner, everyo
"I thought you said that you were busy?" Richard asked as he nibbled on her ear. "I wanted to surprise you." Amanda said as she put her arms around his neck. They kissed passionately and before things could go south, Richard withdrew and stood up with Amanda and walked toward the sofa. "I need to go to the washroom for a bit." Richard said in a husky voice as he kissed his girl on the forehead. Amanda looked at him and did not say anything. Everytime things heated up, Richard will always stop. He has never taken any step further and will always help himself with cold showers. Amanda looked on feeling guilty. She did not have the courage for taking that last step but it seemed Richard was having it hard. She made a resolute decision and could not let him wait any longer. ... After a delicious lunch, Amanda laid lazily on the sofa as she browsed through the entertainment news on her phone. Richard was reading through some d
The following morning, Amanda woke up at 6.30 am. Richard had already woken up and he was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She stretched out her hands lazily and feeling the sourness on her waist, she blushed furiously. Thinking of what had happened yesterday, her face heat up some much that could even see the blood veins.But she did not regret any of the things that had happened yesterday. She has already fallen in love and it was just a matter of time. She wrapped herself in the bed sheet and went to the bathroom. After washing up, she suddenly realized that she did not have any clothes. The clothes that she had worn yesterday were all tone into pieces."What am I going to do now?" she was frustrated because she had to go to the company and yet her house was quite a distance from here. She finished washing up and went to Richards’s wardrobe. She took out one of his shirts and wore it. After drying her hair with a towel, she made her way downstairs. She has
Today was the premiere of "The Secret Mission." Amanda was very nervous as she took her assistant Vivian and her manager Linda to go and watch in one of the famous theatres. This was the first she will appear in big screens. She could not help but be nervous. Richard had not accompanied her because their relationship was still a secret even her assistant and manager did not know about it. "I'm so nervous right now. I don't know how the public is going to react to my acting skills." Amanda said as she patted her chest. Her heart was beating at an irregular rate. "How could you say that you are nervous. In fact you acted so well. I think everyone will like you." Vivian said. She had seen first hand how Amanda had acted in the whole movie because she was one of the crew members, she had to say that she was amazed everytime. "Don't worry. I know you did your best. From the one month we have been working together, I guess I can say that I h
At Richard's mansion, Amanda was lying lazily in his arms after an intense 'work out'.Richard was lightly playing with her hair."Honey..." Amanda called out softly."Huh..." Richard looked at, indicating for her to continue."Can you help me look up to someone?""Who?""Kevin Anubi the artist director of Startshine and Becky Leaky. I think this two have an interesting relationship. And also the relationship between Mandy and Becky those two have been close recently." Amanda said."I have been waiting for you to ask me to do something for you. I was starting to think that I'm an incompetent boyfriend." Richard said, feeling gleeful."How could you say that about yourself. To me you are the best boyfriend. No one came compare to you." Amanda said as she kissed him on lips.Richard did not allow her to retreat as he deepened the kiss. After another round of excitement, Amanda soon feel asleep from exhaus
...... 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
