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

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

After about a three to four-hour drive, Charles finally made it to the location where his friend Alex said that he could find James’ car. He checked every roadside as he drove ahead, making sure he looked for a car that would match James’ car number. He found a few abandoned cars and after a while, he had finally tracked James' car to the location Alex had given him. He found the car in bad shape, it was dirty with the dust from the rarely used road and it was also badly damaged, with bullet wounds scattered all over it. As Charles further studied to see the window broken and one of the car seats out of place, his fear grew as he opened the car door, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios.The scene of the car looked like it was robbed by some serious hoodlums or an assassination attempt was carried out on it. He feared for Amanda as he searched the car and saw blood stains and shattered glasses on the floor of the car and also a broken phone inside, one he could identify as Aman

Charles sat back in his study tapping his leg as he continued waiting impatiently. It has long been overdue since he was supposed to receive feedback from his friend who he asked to track James’ car but it was almost midnight with no reply yet.Charles endlessly scrolled through his message box, and his socials waiting for a text as he sipped some wine to keep himself busy. His instinct keeps telling him Amanda was in danger and he knew the earlier he intervened to save her, the better.As he sighed the 100th time wondering when the text he was waiting for would finally come, his phone beeped and then rang, breaking the silence in his room. He checked the caller ID, it was his friend, Alex who he had asked to track the car, and he let out a sigh of relief and answered the call, listening intently to his friend's voice on the other end."Charles, I found something," Alex said with excitement laced in his tone. "I tracked the car's GPS, and it seems they abandoned it in the middle of t

Betty drove like a mad woman as she stormed into her father’s villa and then impatiently headed to her father’s mansion. She met a domestic staff and asked where she could find her father. The staff mentioned he was in his study and she went straight to meet him.Without knocking, she pushed the door open to reveal her father who was making a call. He looked up when she walked in, totally surprised to see her.“Father. I haven't heard any news from you,” Betty said immediately as she sat and made herself comfortable in the study and rang the staff to bring her a bottle of wine and a glass.“Betty, you didn't inform me you were coming,” the father said as he ended the call.Betty looked up at him with a scowl and asked.“Do I need to let you know when I'm coming over? Isn't your house mine? Don't I used to live here? Well, I will be coming often when Mom finally comes back from her world tour,” Betty said and grabbed the bottle of wine to pour herself some wine when the staff delivered

It was finally over for Charles as he boarded the plane flying him back to London. After several days that turned into weeks of being away without his consent due to the workload, he was finally back.While he was working overseas, he had never stopped trying Amanda’s contact which won’t go through. Even as he was on the plane leading him back home, he still tried to check her social status if she was active but all came to a futile result and he needed no soothsayer to tell him everything wasn’t fine. Amanda was in danger for being that inative for this long which kept him worried. Finally, after several hours he got to London and walked out of the airport to his awaiting car which took him back straight to Amanda’s residence.He rang the bell severally but no one came out to say anything to him and seeing how around her place looked like it hadn’t been touched and showed no human activity, he suspected she hadn’t been home too for weeks.Luckily for him as he turned back to head bac

After coming to the conclusion that she would do as her mind wanted, Amanda rushed back to James’ ward to meet him, her mind still reeling from the encounter with Michael while her heart raced with urgency knowing Micheal’s words weren't something she was going to play with. She couldn't shake the image of his grin off her mind, his threat filled her head causing her heart to race more knowing James was still weak and was only recovering. He wouldn’t be able to do anything to defend himself if he was attacked by Micheal.Amanda bit her lips as she wondered why she encountered someone like Micheal who wouldn’t give up. He was too stubborn and it got her badly disturbed."Wait for me, Micheal. You'll hear from me soon. And it won't be good. I will make sure you regret messing with me, your time is up. I won’t take your shit again,” Amanda vowed to herself feeling anger coarse her system instead of the fear she earlier felt.She fastened her steps and entered James’ ward, James looked u

Amanda relaxed outside the door of James’ Ward painting. “What was that?” she asked herself, feeling ridiculous. James grabbing her hand had made her feel that way and she wondered why. It's been months of hating him, holding a grudge against him. He had disappeared on the most important day he was needed, the day that was his only child's birthday to party away in the club and he also hid the truth about her family from her, trying to cover it and if she hadn't been told, she wouldn't have known.He was an enemy who she now hated. Only what is keeping them from being really apart and stop seeing each other was his daughter so why is she still feeling the way she is feeling? Why would she still feel her heart go out to him the way it did?No, it was wrong, she wasn't supposed to be like that around him. Amanda bit her lips as she wondered how she would manage with him for the remaining days they would be stuck here. She wondered why Charles didn't come looking for them already. Was he

“What is going on? Amanda. Who is Micheal and why did the police come here asking you such questions?” James asked, looking at Amanda curiously.Amanda sighed as she bit her lips before looking away, James was the last person she wanted to tell about Micheal knowing how bad his temper was- he wouldn't mind confronting Micheal who has already placed a threat on his life but since the police had screwed everything, she wasn't sure she could keep quiet about it from him."Amanda please tell me, what's going on? Who's Micheal, and why is he harassing you?" He asked, his expression intense as he stared at her."Micheal...he's just someone who's been causing me trouble, he isn't much of a threat, just some tout who won't let me be because I'm a newbie here, that's all," Amanda started, lying as she tried to downplay the situation."What kind of trouble? Tell me, Amanda. I don't believe you because if it isn't serious, the police won't show up here to find you even as you didn't make any com

“So where is she?” Spider, one of the men asked. The man who had agreed to see Ananda stood before them, thinking deeply about where he had seen Amanda. The face looked very familiar to him but he couldn't place where he saw her.“Hey. You are wasting our time. Where is she right now?” Black, another of the men thundered, losing his patience.“Ehh I have been trying to remember but I can't. I believe you should ask one of the nurses. They will take you to her but the woman you are looking for is mainly found around this hospital. I think she stays here as a worker or a patient,” the man replied.“Okay. You may leave," Spider said with a sigh.“What do we do right now guys? What if the nurses recognize we aren't the police? How would we fix the mess?” the third man, Scorpio asked.“We have to at least try. We cannot fail to get her, not when we have been paid heavily. We need the rest of the payment so we have to do everything and taking risks is one of them. Let's go in search of a nu
