"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

"Done?" The man responded with a confused tone. "What the hell are you talking about?" Betty's smile faded, replaced by a frown. She snatched the phone from the hairstylist and sprang from her seat. The hairstylist gasped at the sudden movement, but relief flickered on her face. "What do you mean by that?" Betty demanded, her voice rising in frustration as she walked to a corner of the salon. "Haven't you done the job yet?" She hissed, her eyes widening in anger. "I told you not to call me until the job was finished. Why are you disobeying me, making me excited for nothing?" The sudden laugh on the other end of the line only made her angrier. Her hand clenched the phone tightly, while the other shook in rage. "Is this funny to you?" She asked, her voice trembling. "Is this how you treat clients, especially one that's going to pay you handsomely??" "Huh?" "Betty, relax," The man whispered soothingly, but one could tell that there was a smirk on his lips. "How can you expect me

"Alright, I'll ensure that my son marries your daughter before this month ends," Agnes agreed, her smile shaky. "Good. I won't stand my daughter suffering anymore," Dan retorted, grabbing the remote from the arm of the couch and switching on the television. Agnes shifted her gaze to the TV, but began thinking of ways to make her son marry Betty. She was aware of how deep James' feelings for Amanda ran, and with the disappearance of his daughter, he wouldn't listen to any plea for the sake of the company.He hadn't cared about the company since Kendall vanished. "What am I going to do?" Agnes's mind raced. "I can't let the company lose over a hundred million. A branch was already lost. I can't risk another failure" She eyed the calendar in the room and thought, "Eighth of the month. I've got twenty-two days left to pull this off. I've got to act fast," *James drove toward Charles' house to pick up Amanda. He visited the hospital earlier, only to find out she had been discharged.

"Amanda," He muttered her name, but there was no response. He caressed her cheek with his thumb, noticing how pale her skin had become. Panic surged through him. Hastily, he positioned her back against the seat and strapped the seat belt on her. He leaned back and started the car, his hands trembling on the steering wheel as he sped to the nearest hospital. Upon arriving, he scooped her out of the car, his heart racing. "Someone help," he called desperately as he rushed into the hospital building, cradling her body. A nurse immediately called for help, and soon Amanda was whisked away on a stretcher. The moment she disappeared from James's arms, more fear settled in. "God, please let her be okay," He muttered, running his hands through his hair. He paced back and forth with his thoughts jumbled in guilt and worry. The door of the ward suddenly swung open, and James' heart almost leaped from his chest, but it wasn't the doctor he expected. "Why did I drive the car so fast?" He

"Mom, I'm thirty," James reminded her, as if she had forgotten. "You can't dictate how I live my life. I'll work with Amanda if it helps me in finding my daughter. I don't care what you say or think about that!" "You are still my child!" She insisted, stepping closer to him. "I'll not watch you ruin your life again. I made that mistake the first time, and it's not going to happen again," "I didnt make a mistake meeting Amanda. I know that things haven't been good between us, but nothing will change the fact that I was once happy with her," James blurted, memories of Amanda flooding into his mind. His heart fluttered for a second; she still had a place in it. "You don't know what you're saying," Agnes shook her head. "I won't let you get back with her. I will do everything to stop you!" At that point, James realized arguing with her was pointless, so he attempted leaving. "Where do you think you're going?" Agnes demanded, blocking his path. "You aren't leaving!" "Mom, get out o

Amanda tapped on the message box, and the text popped up on her screen. "I warned you to stay away from James, but you didn't listen. Losing your daughter is a repercussion for your actions. But if you avoid James totally, then I might consider helping you," Amanda read, staring at the first paragraph of the message. Her grip tightened on her phone. She lowered her gaze from the phone and a shiver ran through her body. She began trembling uncontrollably. The idea that this person knew where her daughter was terrified her. She glanced at the message again and continued reading, "I think I know where Kendall is. But I won't disclose anything till you leave James alone," The word "ALONE" screamed at her in capital letters, revealing how desperate this person was to keep her away from James. Amanda let out a sharp gasp and slowly sat up. She stared at her phone for a few more seconds, her heart racing. Fortunately, the number wasn't private, and she was able to take a screenshot of i

Charles felt that he needed to show more appreciation for her effort, so he leaned in and pressed his lips on her cheek. Amanda's eyes widened, and her body froze at that moment."Thanks," He whispered, his breath warm on her cheek as he pulled away. Amanda remained motionless, her eyes locked on him, surprise etched across her face. For a moment, Charles wondered if he had crossed a line and ruined everything. "Amanda, are you okay?" He asked, slowly, his voice trembling slightly. "I'm sorry for doing that," He quickly added, his tone filled with regret. Amanda lowered her gaze, and her cheeks turned a little red. She felt a a mixture of confusion and embarrassment. "You…don't…" She trailed off, struggling to find the right words. She knew it wasn't appropriate for him to get that close, but Charles wasn't just her lawyer anymore. He had supported her through so much. He was a friend, a confidant, a lifeline in her dark moments. "I'm sorry for pecking you. Please don't be ang

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
