James quickly helped Amanda up and untied her hands."Sorry," He apologized, gently holding her wrists, which were marked with red stripes. "I didn't realize I tied them so tightly. Please forgive me..." His voice was sincere.Amanda slowly withdrew her hands from his and lowered her gaze. She knew she had let things go too far. James touched her again, and she had given in willingly.She had crossed boundaries she set, and now she didn't know how to show him that same anger she felt on the day that she found out the bitter truth of her family's death, including poor Mr Turner."I'm sorry," James repeated, not knowing what to say. He had asked the questions that he needed, and now he just wanted answers."James..." Amanda began, her words stuck in her throat."Call me Jamie. I love it when you do..." He whispered, reaching for her hands again.Amanda's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She simply kept her gaze low, feeling both troubled and strangel

James had missed having her in his arms, so he continued hugging her until she began wriggling in his grasp.When he noticed she was getting uncomfortable, he broke the hug, but not without curling his lips into a handsome smile. He gently held her face, his thumb caressing her cheeks with a tenderness that made her heart skip a beat. "Thank you," He whispered, gently tugging her cheeks.Amanda's cheeks flushed, and she quickly yanked his hands away."I'm not a baby, don't do that," She pouted, but there was a faint smile tugging at her lips. "You're so adorable," He commented, moving his hand to her head and patting it affectionately.Amanda gasped as his hand fell rhythmically on her head. He used to do this when she found it hard to sleep after attending to Kendall when she was a baby. The comforting gesture stirred something deep within her, bringing back memories she thought she had buried. "I appreciate your decision, but what about us?" James asked, his hand slowing down as

Betty closed her purse and swiftly stopped a waiter who was almost passing by."Follow me," She whispered into his ear, her voice dripping with secrecy. As Betty left the waiter, Amanda excused herself from the crowd and made her way to the restroom. She needed a moment away from the prying eyes and weight of the evening. James, who had been watching her intently, seized the opportunity. He followed her discreetly, and upon reaching the restroom, he glanced around before barging in."Jesus!" Amanda gasped, startled as she turned away from the sink. "What are you doing here?" Her eyes widened at the sight of him. "What do you think?" James asked with a soft smile, before locking the door behind him. "You're looking so ravishing tonight,"His comment made butterflies flutter in her belly."You shouldn't be here, someone might come in," She replied, trying to sound dismissive as she turned back to the sink.A smirk appeared on James lips as he slowly approached to her.

"Yes, the wine is good. I have had a little gulp of it during my worried search for you, and calmed me tremendously," Charles commented.The waiter got to them and gave them their glasses.As Amanda took the glass close to her lips, she noticed something about Charles' wine. "Wait, why is yours a bit different?" Amanda asked, then moved hers to her eyes."Your looks less reddish, mine is so deep in color like blood,""Colour?" Charles gasped, then had a good look at both wines, they truly looked different. "You gave such a good eye for things, love,""They are different wines," Amanda assumed with a little pout."Yes, they are. But we can do something about that," Charles grinned and stepped closer to her, almost closing the space between them."Let's exchange wines. I'm sure that mine is sweeter and less concentrated," He suggested."No, you don't have to do that," Amanda refused, not wanting to gain attention or be a burden. "I will drink what I have,""No. Let's exchange drinks. It

Two days later, James was standing right in the park where Amanda asked him to wait. He was so eager to see his daughter.But after waiting for over an hour, and as the rain began to drizzle, James grew restless. He decided to call the number that the private investigator had given her.He brought out his phone and dialed the number that should belong to Amanda. Once she answered, he brought the phone close to his ear with a small smile."Mandi, where are you, where is Kendall?" James asked, his voice filled with hope. There was silence from Amanda's end for a few minutes before she replied, "I'm with the man that you tried to kill, you monster!""What?" James' brows creased in confusion."I don't understand you," He said, truthfully."I'm in the hospital with Charles, idiot!" Amanda yelled angrily."Fuck!" James exclaimed, slapping his hand on his forehead. "I'm so sorry, Mandi. I had forgotten that something happened to him. I was in the restroom when he was rushed to the hospital,

"Where is Amanda?" Charles demanded, his voice abrasive as he confronted the officer standing guard at the door. This was supposed to be where Amanda and Kendall would say their goodbyes and get closure, but it had become a bringer of more storms. "It seems like she escaped through the window. The window is wide open," The officer shifted uncomfortably, before responding with disappointment in his voice A cold wave of panic washed over him, and a tightness spread around his chest, "Why didn't anyone stop her??" "I'm sorry...sir," The officer stammered, his expression lined with guilt. "I should have been more vigilant," Lizzy, standing a few steps behind Charles, gasped in disbelief, "Why did she leave?" "I hope she hasn't entered any danger," She whispered, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and worry. "You have no right to be worried!" Charles turned to her and snapped. His eyes were blazing with anger and his words came out sharper than intended. Lizzy r

"Please nurse..." James pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation. His heart sank to his stomach as she kept the papers in a drawer beneath her desk."I sympathize with you, sir. But there's nothing I can do to help you," The nurse said with a sympathetic tone.She saw the broken look in his eyes and lowered her gaze. She would have given in if her job and entire career weren't at risk."The only advice... I can give to you is to contact her close relatives," She muttered softly, hoping to see some hope in his eyes. But unfortunately, there was none."My wife... I mean my ex... Amanda's parents are dead, and her brother has been missing for years now. I'm her only family," James responded with a quivering voice. He could feel a hard lump in his throat, one that was caused by guilt.The guilt of being unable to save Amanda. Although he should be angry that she escaped with their daughter, who he was also bothered about, she still had this place in his heart.He couldn't imagine he

James saw the determination in Charles' eyes and wasn't surprised by it. He knew that Charles must feel something for Amanda because it wasn't natural or professional for a lawyer to be so intrusive in his client's life.He did things that didn't seem like mere acts of kindness. James was aware of everything, but at this point, he didn't care."You can do whatever you like. I don't give a fuck!" James spat, his teeth clenching. "Amanda and I are divorced already. Her mind has been poisoned so much that she thinks I was responsible for the poisoning incident,""You made her believe that I did it, but she had a choice. She chose to disbelieve me. She preferred to treat me like crap. She believed someone she didn't know over me..." There was so much despair in James' voice, but he tried hard to conceal it.Charles, however, wasn't having any of it. "Well, maybe she realized that the man she thought she knew wasn't who he claimed to be,"Charles shot back. "She probably sees more honesty

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
