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 swallowed hard, his nervousness growing as he glanced over the street. A part of him felt like someone was watching, but he quickly pushed the thought aside. There was no need to be paranoid. "No one else would take Kendall. It has to be James," Charles muttered to himself, his frustration evident. "He's the only one responsible for this," In determination, Charles resumed walking, "I'm going to find Kendall, and make sure his ass is thrown into jail," Striding with quick steps, Charles continued following James everywhere he went, not until James went home. *James drove into his driveway, exhaustion getting the better of him with every move the car made. He let out a deep breath as he turned off the ignition.He leaned on the steering wheel, and his heart ached with guilt and regret. Tears stung his eyes, and he didn't bother fighting them. He never wanted things to get this far. He never imagined that the custody battle would bring so many problems. "I didn't even get

James sat up on the bed, his eyes still dilated in shock.He was staring at a picture of a burning building with ambulance vehicles, fire trucks, and injured people in its surroundings. The building was one of his company's branches. It was his secretary that sent the picture to him. "How did this happen?" He asked, gasps leaving his lips as he stared longer at the picture. It looked like the fire had consumed half of the building, he doubted that everyone came out alive. "I need to go there," James muttered, hurriedly slipping out of his bed. He was still wearing his clothes, so he dashed out of his room. As he strode down the hallway, he began texting his secretary. He asked for the location of the fire incident since his company had multiple branches and he couldn't keep track of each one of them. She replied almost immediately, sending the location, which was a three-hour drive. She urged him to wait till the next morning since it might be dangerous to drive at such a late

James gazed at her, wondering if helping was her only intention. He knew she had apologized yesterday, but he doubted her sincerity. He suspected she was trying to get closer to him. Squinting, James replied, "I don't need any help right now. When I do, you'll be the first to know," Betty's chest, which was swelled in happiness, deflated, and the smile on her lips slowly faded. "But…"She began, trying to object."I can offer some ideas on how to find Kendall. You never know, one of them might lead you to her," James considered her words, and his earlier firmness began to waver. "Well, that's true. However, I don't want to burden you with my problems, especially since I haven't been very nice to you," James admitted with an awkward tone. "We are friends. You don't have to be nice all the time," She blurted out, curling her lips into a forced smile. "Although I won't deny that you've been hostile towards me, I can't leave you in this vulnerable state. What kind of friend would I be

Betty snuggled against James, and at that moment, he decided to end the hug. He regretted it instantly, fearing he might have given her the wrong idea. As he tried to pull away from her, she tightened her grip on him. The closeness made James uncomfortable, but he didn't want to create a scene or embarrass her, especially since she was offering him comfort. James leaned in, bringing his lips closer to her ear, and whispered, "Can you please let me go?" The smug look on Betty's face vanished, and she quickly broke the hug. "I'm sorry," She hastily apologized, though feeling no remorse. She simply wanted to act like she wasn't taking advantage of the situation. "You don't have to apologize. Thank you for being so kind to me," He muttered, blinking back his tears. "I am sorry if I seemed rude earlier, it's just…that everything is overwhelming," "I understand," Betty nodded with a soft smile."Well, I can't fully say that I understand your pain because I haven't experienced somethin

"What's the job this time?" He asked, his eyes glinting with interest. He leaned in closer, his voice barely above a whisper, "Is it another murder attempt?" Betty didn't like the term 'murder', but it was the only step she could take. "No. It's just making someone disappear," Betty muttered, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. A twisted grin spread across his face as he leaned back. "Should we discuss that here?out in the open," He asked, glancing around the place. "I doubt you want an audience for this," He said, fixing his eyes on the cafeteria's owner who was behind the counter, staring. Smirking, Betty replied,"No, let's have a little walk,"The man nodded and opened the door. "Ladies first!" His voiced chimed, attempting to take a chivalrous tone. Betty wasn't amused by his act, but she enjoyed the princess treatment. She stepped out of the cafeteria, and they walked side by side. "So, who should I murder?" He inquired bluntly, only to get a sharp glare.He rais

James turned back to face her, his lips curling into a smile. "Amanda," He muttered, leaning over her. "Can you hear me?" He asked, brushing his hand gently against her forehead. Amanda's eyelashes fluttered, and a soft moan escaped her lips. She let out another distressed sound, before her eyes flickered open slowly. James's smile broadened as he watched her. "You've finally woken up," He said, his voice shaking in relief. "How do you feel?" Amanda shut her eyes briefly, then spoke barely above a whisper, "Kendall…" James didn't get what she was saying, so he had to bring his ear close to her lips. "Kendall…" "Kendall!" He exclaimed, straightening up. "Do you know where she is?" "Kendall…" Her voice came out like a cry this time. "Baby…" James realized that she might be reliving the accident, so he understood that she wasn't in the right state to give any answers. "I'll go get the doctor. Just hang in there," James muttered, pressing a quick kiss on her forehead without th

"I will take the silence from both of you as an agreement," Lizzy said, glancing between James and Amanda. "This is not an agreement, "Amanda shot back, her voice quivering."I just need to find my daughter who has mysteriously disappeared. I'll do anything to make sure that she's found,"Fresh tears stung her eyes and she felt a pang of guilt. The thought of her daughter's disappearance being her fault made it all worse. "I don't want to do this either," James sighed, his eyes lowering to the floor. Lizzy crossed her arms and questioned intensely, "If you didn't want anything from Amanda, then why are you here? Why did you wait for hours to see her? Why did you come in the first place?" James' gaze remained lowered as he responded with a hoarse voice, "I hoped to get some information from her. Probably, something the cops or I might have missed while searching for Kendall," "I wouldn't concede to this cooperation if my daughter wasn't involved," James said, lifting his gaze to Am

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
