Amanda's hand slightly trembled in his, but she wasn't uncomfortable with him. This wasn't the first time he called her "love" and she wasn't the only one that he used that term for. However, there was something about the way he said it to her that felt different. "I don't use anything in particular, my hand is just naturally soft," Amanda replied with a slight smile, her eyes averting his intense gaze."Wow," He responded, clearly fascinated by her reply. "Everything about you is so natural, from your beauty to your intelligence...I'm proud of you,"A warmth spread through Amanda at his words. "Thank you so much," She found herself genuinely smiling. Charles released her hand and gestured toward a chair, "Please have your seat,"Amanda sat down and took in a deep breath before speaking, "What did you want to discuss with me?"I want to talk about the requirements that you must meet as a single and legal parent of Kendall," Charles began, his demeanor shifting to a more serious to

"Christ..." Amanda shivered as the note along with the envelope slipped from her trembling hands. "How did they find out about my plans for revenge?" She asked, her voice barely audible in the stillness of the room. Her mind raced with thoughts and a terrifying one crept into it. "Am I being watched?" "Oh my God," Amanda panicked, her breathing fastening as she imagined hidden cameras watching her every move. Anxiously, She scanned the sitting room, her worry growing every second. "There's nothing here," Amanda muttered, her breath shuddering as she ran her hands over the top of the television, searching for anything out of place. There was no sign of invasion or foreign material in any part of the room.This was supposed to give her some kind of comfort, but her sense of dread intensified. "If there are no cameras or recorders, then how did they know what I was planning," Amanda asked herself, digging her fingers halfway into her hair. "Is it the person with the unknown number?

Betty exited his room and rushed downstairs."Why are you out so soon?" Agnes gasped, rising from the couch.With a disappointed expression, Betty replied, "James kicked me out. He didn't even care about the attention I tried to give him,"Agnes' face tensed for a second before she relaxed and walked towards Betty."You've got to be patient with him," She implored, reaching for Betty's hand. "He's just coming to terms with the fact that that worthless woman was never worth his time. It's not easy for him to accept." "I know," Betty sighed."Please don't give up on him. I want you to help him get that vile woman out of his head," Agnes spat, her tone venomous with lingering hate attached to it. "I'm not going to give up. I want James all to myself and I will do everything I can to make that happen ..." Betty uttered, her voice firm with resolve."My love for him will never die,"Agnes smiled, pleased by Betty's determination. She loved it."That's the spirit. Now wipe that sad look of

"What am I going to do?" Amanda thought, a knot of fear tightening in her stomach. "Should I tell Charles to drive faster? What if we get into an accident because of the speed and something worse happens?" "If I tell Charles that certain people are after my life and my daughter's, will he be able to protect us?" Amanda asked inwardly, her eyes filled with horror as the car behind them seemed closer. "Wouldn't it be risky to get him involved? I don't want him to die like Mr Turner. Poor Mr. Turner," She lamented, her hands nervously clenched her gown. Her sweaty palms and fingers dug into the fabric. "I can't let that car catch up with us. I have to make Charles divert somehow," She turned to Charles, who was already staring at her. "You are shaking," He commented, noticing how her lips were trembling. He might have assumed she was cold, but the past few days in London had been unusually hot, one of those rare heatwaves. "Why are you shivering?" He asked, then took a peek at the

Amanda initially thought that Lizzy was making up things or simply jumping to conclusions, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized that there might be some truth to it. When she first met Charles, he had this look in his eyes that she couldn't decipher. Then he started getting more familiar and friendly with her. He began asking more personal questions and getting involved in her life. His actions seemed to go beyond the commitment of a lawyer. "Does he have feelings for me?" Amanda wondered, her thoughts racing. "A regular lawyer wouldn't pay for the flight tickets of his client along with her child, then offer to pay for their upkeep. It was too unusual…" Her thoughts raced. Her hands trembled slightly around the phone. She wasn't sure if she was reading too much into things or if Lizzy's words were starting to make sense. "Amanda, are you there?" Charles's voice echoed through the phone. Amanda swallowed a lump down her throat and replied, "Yeah, I'm…here,"

Amanda followed him for a few moments before she heard a faint call for help. She thought it was her imagination and wanted to ignore it, but then the voice echoed in her mind. Her heart skipped a beat as she recognized it to be James's voice. Without any hesitation, she rushed towards the swimming pool. As she arrived, her eyes dilated in horror at the sight of James's body floating in the pool. Amanda's heart almost stopped at what she saw. At that moment, she couldn't think of how her family was murdered and his alleged cheating. She also couldn't dwell on the betrayal she thought he committed by hiding his family's evil. She could only think about her love for him and the fact that he was still the father of her child. She couldn't let him die. "James!" Amanda screamed, running towards the pool. She leaped into the water, and the chill of it almost took her breath away. She forced her head out of the water to gasp for air before plunging back in and swimming to him. She got

Amanda returned to Charles' house in different clothes, a nice outfit he had bought for her on their way back. She had changed in the boutique, discarding her earlier clothes. As she walked into the sitting room, she saw Kendall and the maid, completely engrossed in the loud and colorful cartoon. The vibrant sounds filled the room and none of them noticed Amanda's entrance. "Hey sweetie," Amanda called out, her voice warm and gentle. Kendall's head snapped in the direction of her mother's voice. Her eyes brightened and a huge smile spread across her face. "Mommy!" She exclaimed, jumping off the couch and running toward her. Kendall was overjoyed to see her. Although she was enjoying the company of the maid, she still wanted her mother's presence around her. Amanda knelt and spread her arms in the air. Kendall flew into her mother's arms and giggled. "Welcome back, mommy," Kendall said, her small arms wrapping around Amanda's neck. "Thank you, my love," Amanda murmured with a so

A knock came on Amanda's door, pulling her from her thoughts. She shifted her distant gaze from the ceiling to the door. She slowly sat up and a small frown etched on her face. "Who's that?" Amanda asked, squinting. "It's me, Charles," There came a reply from the other side. Amanda didn't feel like seeing or talking to anyone except her daughter. She was experiencing some emotional turmoil, and only Kendall could provide her with the innocent comfort she craved. Charles wasn't an option. He was her lawyer and had been excellent to her, but there were things that she wasn't comfortable sharing with him, especially not in her current state. "Can I come in?" Charles asked, placing another knock on the door. "Amanda?" Amanda let out a deep breath and rose to her feet. She could have just told him that she wanted to be alone, but she didn't want to seem rude. After all, this was his house. She walked to the door and unlocked it. Charles pushed it open and smiled gently at her. "I

At the police station the next day, the police had already gotten the truth out of the man they arrested who led them to Agnes and she was also arrested and taken to jail.James was informed and he rushed down to the police station.“James, I didn't do it. I was framed. Agnes cried out immediately she saw James and tried to rush at him but the police stopped her, and they took her away to the interrogation room.Agnes sat in the interrogation room, her face downcast and emotionless. It was like she had given up and she looked so hopeless."Come on, Ma’am," one of the police officers said, his voice firm but persuasive. "We have evidence. We know you were involved in the confession the culprit had made, he even mentioned you as the one he works for. Just come clean. Confess everything and make this easier on yourself,” the policewoman in charge of the case said to Agnes.Agnes shook her head, her lips pursed. "I won't admit to anything," she said, her voice cold.“I didn't do it. Why s

Agnes was boiling when the call with Charles came to an end. She couldn't believe her ears. Everyone was suddenly on Amanda’s side. From James now to Charles. What is going on? What has she done to them to make them take her side?She paced around her room, thinking of what to do. She needed to do something before things got out of hand so she carefully thought about what to do and dialed a number."I need you to take care of someone," she said immediately a voice came on the other side of the line, her voice cold."Charles. He's becoming a problem. He wants to betray me and I can't allow him to scatter everything I have worked hard to come with. So make sure he doesn't spill even a word and you will also take care of a child that you would find with him. I will come in person tonight for further instructions,” Agnes explained.The person on the other end of the line agreed, and she hung up, a sense of satisfaction washing over her. She had taken care of the problem, and no one would

James couldn't complete his words as he went to get the door. It was Betty and she smiled at seeing him.“Hello, honey,” she happily called out to him. James barely replied to her before going back in.“Why are you here?” James asked her as he stopped with the conversation he was having with his mother earlier.“Your mom informed me you came visiting so I came to break the good news to you,” Betty said with a smile.“What are you talking about? What good news?” James asked, staring at Betty and then at his mother who went silent, enjoying her tea again.“Ohh you haven't been informed yet? Well, it is totally fine. I came to tell you that I am pregnant,” Betty dropped the bombshell.“What? Pregnant? What are you talking about? Pregnant for who?” James asked her with shock on his face.“For you James, I believe you haven't forgotten about the passionate night we spent together. This pregnancy is as a result of it,” Betty said with a triumphant smile.James's face twisted in incredulity.

Amanda happily prepared to leave with Charles. Today was day three since they came back from the remote village and she was all ready to hit the streets and go around looking for her daughter while James would start investigating her parents’ death. The past three days with James at her home had been filled with his recovery, them catching up and rebuilding their relationship and she didn't regret giving him a chance again after knowing the truth about it.“Hey. Where are you? I have been waiting?” Amanda said to Charles for the fifth time. It's been over 30 minutes since she arrived at their destination. A cafe where Charles had suggested they grabbed a bite because he was hungry and had been busy with a client since morning.He needed his strength before they set off to kindergarten and places where children were to check for Kendall.“I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. I had another client to attend to and had to sneak away before another one showed up,” Charles explained as he

James and Amanda sat in the living room, surrounded by papers and files, they hadn't had any time to waste because they needed to do a lot of investigation since they had been trapped and wasted almost a month at the remote village. James was determined to uncover the truth about Amanda’s parents’ death, deciding to focus on it after Amanda begged Charles to take up the case of looking for her daughter with her. "We need to gather as much information as possible," James said, his brow furrowed in concentration as he flipped through the papers he could gather from his home office where Amanda had mentioned she had seen the information before but they seemed not to find anything."Who were the people closest to your parents? Do you remember anyone?” James asked her after a futile result in finding anything related to the article.After James’ question, Amanda thought for a moment and she smiled when she remembered someone."There's Mr. Johnson, their old business partner. He was a cl

It all took just one more step before James and Charles finally showed up in the room where Amanda had been kept. They met Michael, the man watching Amanda with a smile on their face while she was now tied up and blindfolded.“What is going on here?” Charles yelled in anger before the police could stop him. He rushed at Michael who was the one standing nearest to Amanda and knocked him over while James rushed at the other men who were armless. Their weapons were stacked on the floor.“Who are you?” Micheal yelled at Charles who grabbed him and punched him severally in the face. Micheal tried to overpower Charles but couldn't, Charles was way stronger than him. Charles' strength showed he had served in the military and when Micheal felt that he became scared.“Are you not a policeman? Tell him to get off me,” Micheal managed to say before Charles knocked him out with his endless punch and one of the policemen grabbed Charles pulling him away from Micheal.James helped unite Amanda whil

Amanda stood there unable to believe her eyes. What will she do now that she has been tricked to come here by Micheal? She knew he would make sure she did what he wanted before she was able to leave there alive which scared the hell out of her.She tried to move back away from him while planning in her mind how to escape but he grabbed her and pushed her towards himself, his teeth clenching in his eyes as his eyes held so many warnings as if daring her to do what she had done again.Micheal's eyes glinted, dripping with malice as his face lit up with a knowing smile, and he went ahead to welcome Amanda."How does it feel to come to me like this, Princess? How does it feel for you to be trapped here with me?" he sneered, his words sending shivers down Amanda's spine.Amanda swallowed hard, her eyes narrowing as she tried to think of how she would be able to escape the dangers he was in, her mind racing with questions, especially with the questions on how Micheal showed up here."What's

Charles and James drove speeding to the next police station, their hearts racing with every step. James earnestly hoped he would find Amanda there and it shouldn't be just as Charles feared. When they got to the police station, they rushed in and immediately asked the policemen if Amanda was there.“I am sorry but who is Amanda? We have never heard such a name here nor did someone who bears it come to meet us,” the police attending to them said.“What about your fellow policemen who came to meet her, they mentioned someone filed a report in her favor because she was getting harassed and showed up at the hospital to help her,” James said mentioning the names the men had introduced themselves with but the policemen confirmed that no such name existed in their station causing fear to grip James and Charles.“Are you sure you aren't mistaken? Please ask around, you might not know who they are. Maybe they are new here,” James said in denial that the policeman won't know the acclaimed polic
