......
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
Birds chirping, their melodious voices singing morning glory, the fresh and cool air after the heavy rain last night, the rising sun over the horizon, it was one of the finest day for Amanda Jackson, but she was just too lazy to wake up.She lazily stretched her hands out as she smiled lazily at the beam of light passing through the window into her room. Today was such a fine day because everything that was going to happen today will be the best that has ever happened to her over the past few years.Her fiance was finally coming back from overseas and Amanda was a little bit nervous because she didn't know how to face him after not seeing him for the last five years or so.But why would she be nervous. After all they have grown up together. She chided herself for thinking too much.***"Amanda, why are you still lazing around? You need to start getting prepared. Today Jason is coming back, you know that apart from welcoming him, you are also
At exactly 6PM, Amanda, dressed in her best red, body hugging dress that took her a lot of effort to prepare, left with her mom to the hotel where the engagement will take place.She had done her own makeup because she is used to it given the nature of her job.She is Val's assistant and she is used to putting make up on her when she goes to film.Her mom had also dressed to kill. The daughter and mother duo walked hand in hand to the hotel.Reaching the hotel, there were so many unfamiliar faces but Amanda guessed that they were William's family friends and some of her dads.When people saw her at the entrance, they gave her strange gazes. Amanda was nervous but she still kept her cool on the outside. Head held high, she walked towards the William's family with a bright and innocent smile on her face."Hello grandpa, grandma, Auntie, uncle." Amanda greeted them politely, that sweet smile never leaving her face.The family nodded
Amanda excused herself to go the washroom. She left her handbag behind because she knew she won't be taking long and everyone there was like family so she trusted that her handbag will be safe.Seeing her leave, Juliana and her son Ryan exchanged a look. They each knew what to do. Their eyes were filled with evil glint.They have been waiting for an opportunity to place the prepared necklace in Amanda's bag and frame Amanda as they had planned earlier and this was the best opportunity for them.It was a replica of the necklace that Vallery was supposed to wear during the party. Val had made it so that they could take this chance and remove this bitch from their sight once and for all.They even planned to blow up the matter so that she may end up in prison.Ryan was the one carrying the necklace. He moved toward grandma Catherine because that is where Amanda had left her handbag. He pretended to chat with grandma and extended his hand towards Amanda's h
"Jason.... grandson, what is the meaning of this? Are not supposed to be engaged to Amanda? What are you doing kissing her sister in front of everyone?" Grandma Catherine's face was pale but she still managed to speak to her grandson in a cool manner although she almost blew her top up."Grandma, I'm sorry to disappoint you but things have changed now. I love Vallery now and we have been together since the time I went overseas five years ago. She cares about me so much that I don't want any other girl apart from her. I have been wanting to tell you for a long time now but I did not have the courage to see your heartbroken." Jason answered honestly."What are you talking about? You have been with her for almost five years and I did not even know about this?" Grandma Catherine's face turned cold as she stared at her family in front of her.She could not believe what she was hearing now. Looking at their faces, they did not seem surprised by this turn of events. And t
"The necklace is missing? Didn't I just ship it yesterday and you even said that you picked it up yourself?" Jason asked with a shocked expression."Yes Brother Jason, I even brought it with me when I was coming this morning and gave it to my brother." Val acted delicately as she hugged Jason's arm."Yes sister, I was with it when I came and I thought that I gave it you. Then where could it have gone, could someone have been consumed with extreme jealousy that they stole it.""Sister... did you by chance steal my necklace." Val asked in a gentle voice as she turned to look at Amanda but the evil glint in her eyes could not be hidden."When did I steal your necklace, when I came in, I went straight to grandma to talk to her, your mother and brother came in after us, I did not even go near them, how could I have stolen the necklace, using magic?" Amanda replied, puzzled by their accusation."How could we know, maybe we should check your handbag to c
Amanda was puzzled by the sudden turn of events. She did not know that Val will go to the extent of even hurting herself physically in order to just frame her. "Amanda, are you a rogue? I did not say anything regarding the necklace because I knew that it might be a misunderstanding, and now this! What did Val do to you to deserve such treatment. This is all my fault, if you want to channel your hatred towards someone, then that should be me." Jason roared as he held Val tightly into his arms. Val was pleased as punch when she heard Jason speaking up for her. She looked at Amanda and smiled victoriously. "I thought that you were always gentle and considerate, I did not know that you could be a thief, and even be this violent when your sister only meant to find justice for you. Is this how you treat your family. It's like I have never known you all these years." Jason said in a disappointed tone. Amanda clapped her hands after Jason
At Jackson's villa. "Vallarey, Amanda is supposed to end her sentence today. Are you sure she won't cause us trouble once she gets out of the prison?" Juliana asked. "No mom, don't worry about her. She wont manage to get out of that place alive. She should go and rot in hell with her mother." Vallarey spat viciously. Seeing her expression now and the expression she had when she was with Jason was completely different. You could even think that they were two completely different people. She had been planning for this very day since the day Amanda went to prison. She had used a lot of money to bribe the prison guards and nothing was to go wrong. Amanda will die a brutal death tonight, she will not survive, not when her, Vallery Jackson was still alive. "What are you planning to do?" Juliana felt chills run down her spine as she looked at her daughter's vicious expression. Many people were fooled by the i
"Dad, don't be sad because I know wherever sister is, she will forgive you. It is not your fault that she ended up in prison." Vallery sobbed as she consoled her dad. Peter's furrowed brows relaxed when he heard her daughter's concerned voice. "I know. I'm just sad. Knowing that I will never see her again breaks my heart. If only she had one tenth of your patience and understanding, she will not have ended up this way." "Sister was a good person. Maybe if she had not gone with her mother and stayed with us...." Vallery did not finish her sentences but Peter's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot. That woman, she had really played him like fool. When Juliana showed him the photos of Evelyne and that man, he did not believe it at first but she kept bringing more and saying malicious things about Evelyne that he believed her in the end.. He was consumed with rage and humiliation that he did not

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
