Amanda was enveloped in darkness, someone was chasing her, she tried to move towards the only source of light but she could not, no matter how much she tried, she could not reach it.
Her heart fell as she thought about the fate that awaited her. Was she already in hell. Had God really let her die?
Amanda fought to open her eyes but they were so heavy. Her eyelids seemed to carry tons of loads as she could not even move them. The darkness was suffocating her.
As she struggled with the darkness and almost gave up, she heard someone shout her name.
"Amanda hang in there, don't give up. You cannot leave me alone. I will be right there to save you. Even if I can't, I will gladly accompany you to hell. We will always be together, always." The voice started to fade.
Amanda thought that the voice sounded familiar, but because of the darkness she could not tell out who was talking.
But she felt an explicit peace when she heard that voice. In her past
After Richard hanged up his phone, he went to his father's ward."Good morning father, how are you feeling now?""Son, how did I end up here?" His father asked, rather confused. The last thing he remembered was him drinking tea with Mandy, but how he ended up in a hospital bed, he has no idea.The doctor even said that he had undergone a heart operation."Someone gave you medicine to trigger your heart condition." Richard said."Who dare to poison me? I rarely leave home." Leonard said."Who was the last person you were with?" Richard asked. He did not want to say that name out loud as it disgusted him.Leonard thought about it and his expression changed.No way would Mandy do such a thing to me.Seeing his expression, Richard knew that he had thought through."It is as you think.""No way. How could that be? There is no way Mandy could do such a thing. I have treated her like my daughter
Evelyne wanted to visit her daughter at the hospital but Amanda declined. Her condition was getting better and she will be discharged in two days time."Mom, you don't have to come. It was nothing serious. I just fainted at work because I was exhausted." Amanda said.She could not tell her mother the truth for the fear that she will start to overthink and let her thoughts run wild."You need to take care of yourself. You always come home late and leave early. I don't get to see you for some days and yet we live under the same roof. How can I not be worried?" Evelyne reprimanded her. Amanda was touched. In her past life, her mother did not even get the chance to say such words. Although it felt like she was being scolded, Amanda did not feel angry. In return, she was happy."I know mom, I also have some good news. I will tell you when I come home." Amanda said."Just say it already, mom can't wait to hear.""No I'm not saying. You will
After everyone walked the red carpet and after thinking that there was no one left, a black Porsche stopped at the end of the red carpet.It was a sleek car with tilted windows. The reporters were stunned as they started to snap photos madly."Woah, who is the big shot now. I thought that I had already seen enough for tonight, but there was still more to come?" One of the reporters said."That car is way too cool, I think it could cost a few billions.""I think it is custom made. Even the number plate is unique." Someone with a keen eye commented."Which god of fortune has graced our show tonight?" There was a lot of commotion from the reporters that the people inside the room started to crane their necks to see what was happening.Vallery on the other was talking to Jason."I thought that sister will be coming tonight. I heard that her movies were nominated in quite a number of awards. Has fame entered her brain that she has fo
"Isn't that Amanda? Wasn't someone saying just now that she won't be coming?" The hall fell into a frenzy as people started talking nonstop.Vallery looked at the stunning woman on the red carpet and felt extreme jealousy and hatred surge in her heart.She knew that in terms of looks, she will never compare to Amanda. That woman was born with a beautiful face and a stunning figure, she just needed a little makeover and no one will match up to her.As for her, she has undergone plastic surgeries to get her current look. She always wondered how come they were sisters but their looks were different.Amanda took most of her mother's beauty and her father's good points. As for Vellery, she had no any resemblance to her father and resembled her mother very little.How she wished her to die just there and then.And the man standing beside her, no word could describe his good looking face. He was beyond the mortal beauty.'Could he be h
Standing on the podium, Amanda looked at the man who was beyond reach and smiled. These was the first time they were appearing in public together. Be it walking the red carpet or standing side by side with him, it gave her a new feeling. The clip from her movie was playing. Even those who were nominated with her felt like she deserved it. Her acting skills were top notch compared to there's and they felt like she was really a worthy opponent. "Let's have our special guest present the award to our best new comer of the year, Amanda Jackson." The host said, handing the present to Richard. Richard took it and walked to stand close to Amanda. Amanda suddenly felt neurotic for some unknown reasons. She did not know how to react when Richard handed her the award, how she wished to announce him to the world that he was hers. "I believe that Amanda Jackson is someone with potential to grow. When I first signed her, everyone
After the long awaited kiss, Amanda's cheeks had a red blush, her big doe eyes were misty and she simply looked adorable.Richard's eyes darkened as he immediately engulfed his wife in a hug so that people could not see her sexy look.The host broke the silence with a long suppressed sigh.It was like his sigh was a switch as it turned people on. Everyone started talking and just after a few seconds, the hall became very noisy.Amanda looked at Richard feeling extremely flustered and embarrassed.The host started to ask questions after receiving the director's signal. They could not let such a perfect opportunity go by. They had to dig some juicy gossip."Wow, president Richard and Amanda, that was simply mind blowing." The host started, laughing to help dispell the tense atmosphere."So you guys are a couple?" The host asked."Yes." Richard answered as he smiled. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood tonight.
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
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
...... 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
