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

Charles noticed the doctor approaching and quickly moved to intercept him. "How is Amanda, doctor?" Charles asked, his voice tinged with anxiety. "Is she alright?""Doctor, is she alive?" James added with a trembling voice."Are you wishing for her death or something?" Charles snapped, shooting a sharp look at James.James ignored the comment, his mind was solely focused on her well-being. His heart raced as he anxiously awaited the doctor's response. His thoughts were racing with memories of Amanda. "Yes, the patient is alive, and the surgery was a success," The doctor responded with a reassuring smile.Charles and James heaved sighs of relief, simultaneously. They were so relieved at the news. "Thank goodness. I'm so glad that she's fine," Charles said, a small smile appearing on his lips. But the next words of the doctor erased it. "Her condition is stable, but she's not fully out of the woods," The doctor uttered seriously, making them anxious again."What do you mean?" Charle

"Why do you seem so surprised?" Mrs. Shawn asked, noticing the shocked look on her face. "Is there a problem I don't know about? Do you know Micheal from somewhere?""I wish I never knew this scoundrel. He is making life miserable in this place," Amanda thought, gritting her teeth."No, Ma'am," Amanda shook her head. "I don't know him. I was just surprised that another person was joining us here, and I wondered how I was going to please him with my services." "You don't have to worry about pleasing anyone," Mrs. Shawn replied softly. "Just do your job right, and attend to our needs within your capacity. That's all.""Okay, Ma'am," Amanda replied, nodding."Good," Mrs. Shawn beamed. "You should do with the laundry, I have some dirty clothes.""Okay," Amanda muttered."My room is at the end of the hallway, particularly on the right side," she instructed.Amanda quickly went upstairs to avoid Micheal's annoying gaze. As she got to the room and began grabbing the dirty clothes, she wishe

Micheal spotted Amanda staring at him and a sick smile formed on his face. He was relishing the fear he could see in her eyes. He pocketed his hands and walked smugly to her.As Amanda noticed him coming close, she began backing away. She felt so uncomfortable and threatened. Her mind raced, wondering why he was here to ruin things for her.She felt so happy about the success of the interview, she didn't want him to sabotage what she had gained.Micheal hastened his footsteps, and Amanda continued backing away until her back slammed against the main door."Good morning, cupcake," Micheal said, a smirk forming on his lips. "You look quite shocked to see me. I thought you already knew everything I was capable of.""Why are you doing this?" Amanda asked, her voice rising. "Can't you just leave me alone? If you want me to repay you for the bills you covered, then I'll do so when I work for enough time, or contact my family." "I don't care about the money, all I want is you," Micheal mutt

"I see," Micheal replied with a smirk on his lips."Boss, can I ask you something?" the man asked, his voice laced with caution.Micheal looked at him, his expression cold. "What is it?""Sir, why are you so interested in this woman?" he dared to ask. "I don't mean to be intrusive because your actions aren't my business, but it's a bit shocking that you would make such inquiries about her.""She means nothing to me," Micheal replied with a smirk. "There's just something special about her. I mean, a lot of women would throw themselves at me when I make an offer to them, but she resisted.""No one had ever resisted me," he muttered, his expression turning to one of displeasure.He felt a bit insulted when she first rejected his help, but then he got intrigued—or rather fascinated—with her constant rejection. He suddenly felt like he should have her for himself."So, you're obsessed with her?" the man said aloud but regretted his words instantly. "I'm sorry for saying that. I didn't—""N

The next day, Agnes could be seen pacing back and forth in her sitting room. She had been calling James' number but he wasn't answering."How long is he going to avoid me?" Agnes asked herself, frowning. "I'm his mother for goodness sake, can't he respect me anymore? Everything I'm doing is for his good, why can't he see that and appreciate me?"She lowered the phone from her ear and stared at it for a few moments."Has he blocked me or what?" she asked, dialing his number again.The number went to voicemail again, making her heart wrench in disappointment."Why do I feel like this isn't normal?" Agnes said, worriedly. "I knew he had told me to go to hell, but he should at least answer my calls or send a text message that he's fine.""Why is he being so selfish?" Agnes asked, her frown deepening. "Maybe I should call Betty, and ask her how he is."She called Betty, but her number didn't go through either."What the hell is wrong with both of them? Agnes said, feeling displeased by the

The woman looked a bit stunned by her question, her shock evident."Why are you staring at me like that?" Amanda asked, confused. "Did I ask anything absurd?"Amanda wanted to know the house owners because she didn't want to risk falling into another trap with Michael. She didn't understand what that man suddenly saw in her, but she didn't want to keep getting in contact with him again.Besides, the mysterious family that owned the house on the flier seemed to be rich."No, your question isn't ridiculous," the woman muttered, shaking her head. "It's just shocking that you are unaware of the owners. Are you new to the village?"Amanda didn't know if it would be the right decision to tell the truth. She didn't want more people to take advantage of her because of her naivety."It's okay if you don't want to answer that," the woman said with a smile. "To answer your question, the house is owned by the Shawn family."Amanda thought of Michael's last name and was quite relieved to know it w

Amanda quickly squeezed the note with her trembling hands. Why couldn't that bastard leave her alone? What was the meaning of all this? Couldn't she just have some peace?"Why is he after me? It's not like I'm the most beautiful woman in the village," Amanda muttered, her voice shaky. "Why am I always attracting garbage?"Gritting her teeth, she tossed the wrinkled note angrily into the trash can in a corner."This man seems more dangerous than I thought," she said, fear creeping into her voice. "What if he suddenly sees James as an obstacle and harms him?""James isn't in a state to defend himself or receive another attack," Amanda muttered, her voice dripping with worry. "I can't let any harm come to him, but I can't defend him if anyone tries to hurt him.""What am I going to do now?" she cried. "Is there a cop that I can make a report to? But Micheal ruled this place. If I were to report to the police, they wouldn't take me seriously.""Should I ask for a transfer?" she asked, her

Charles paced back and forth in his London hotel room, his anger simmering. He had been forced to stay longer than expected, and his frustration grew with each passing minute. He had thought he would be done by now so he could go after Amanda already because he didn't trust her. Seeing how desperate she is to find her daughter, she might go to the remote village which wasn't good at all.He knew how dangerous that place was and she might get robbed and stuck since she looked wealthy. He wished in his heart that she didn't go and listen to him but he knew he was just wishing because he knew how determined and adamant she could be.Having unsettling thoughts run thousands in his head, he knew he had to contact her to make sure she didn't go there. He grabbed his phone and dialed her contact but the call won't connect as he was told she wasn't available.He tried calling her, but it was worse because the call won't connect and immediately he grew apprehensive as he guessed she had gone t

“Please who are you? Why are you after me?” Amanda asked as fear gripped her.“Well don't be scared. I'm just a rich man who wants to help you. My father is the head of this village and I'm his heir and eldest son. So you definitely need my help,” Micheal replied as a mischievous grin appeared on his face.“But I don't need your help? You don't know me, why do you want to help me?” Amanda asked, still scared.“That's because you are beautiful and I want to sleep with you,” Micheal replied boldly.“I just need your body and whatever you want, I will give it to you,” He added and Amanda almost spat at him on how bold and courageous he was.“You must be out of your mind. Do you think I'm some whore?” Amanda almost yelled at him.“Whatever you are, I don't care. Give it some thought. I will be back,” he flashed her a smile before he left.Amanda’s legs weakened and she was almost falling when she grabbed something nearby to help herself. She couldn't deny she had been caught up in the fea

"Betty, this is making no sense," Her father retorted, his tone hesitant."How?" Betty shot back. "She's the one we intended to kill. Why should she continue living? Why don't you just end her and give me some joy?""I had initially agreed to do that because you deserve everything you desire, but I guess some things are unattainable,"he replied stiffly, rising to his feet. "I can't do what you're asking.""Why?" Betty cried out."I'll only make things more complicated," He retorted, his voice sharp. "Attempting to kill her has already brought enough tragedy. Just let her live. There's no point in her dying anymore!""The point of her death would be my relief," Betty insisted. "If I see her dead, I'll be happy that she doesn't get the chance to find any happiness while I wallow in sorrow for the rest of my life.""Can you stop exaggerating?" He snapped, glaring at her. "You're just obsessed with him. I'm sure that if you had ended up with him, you would soon get bored and go on a new c
