"Two of you need to calm down," Amanda intervened, attempting to prevent another outburst. "You don't want to say more things that you'll regret,""I don't regret anything I've said. He needs to accept the truth and start minding his business," Lizzy said unwilling to back down. "I thought he was a nice guy, but thankfully he has shown his true colors.""Just keep quiet. You have no idea, what you're saying. And I think you must be forgetting something—this is my house and you can't come in here to disrespect me," Charles snapped, his anger intensifying. "If you don't shut up and quit badmouthing me, then you've got to get out!""Yeah, I forgot that you owned this mismatched piece of trash. But if I'm leaving, then I'm taking Amanda with me. I won't be leaving her in this disgusting place with an asswipe like you!" She affronted.Amanda was shocked by the heavy words being exchanged between them. She didn't know how to stop things from exacerbating."Amanda isn't going anywhere. She s

“Look, Amanda," Lizzy tightened her grasp, staring into her eyes. "You won't understand what I'm saying until you see it for yourself. But there's no way he will show you that side of him,"Amanda was so confused. She had never seen her friend act so distraught before. It made her a bit uneasy."Lizzy, relax," Amanda urged, squeezing her hands lightly."I can't!" Lizzy snapped, her breath hitching. "I can't relax when you're in danger with someone so nasty and unpredictable. I blame myself for contacting him on your behalf. I thought he was a good lawyer. What was I even thinking?" She dug her fingers into her hair and silently screamed.Amanda's eyes widened in shock. Lizzy had never acted so hysterically before, it was getting scary."Lizzy, please calm down," Amanda pleaded, placing her hand cautiously on her shoulder. "I know that Charles was rude to you, but you shouldn't take it so personally. He isn't a bad person,"Lizzy shot a glare at her, then brushed her hand off her shou

Her shaky fingers hovered over her phone as she tried calling him again. However, when the call failed to go through, she checked the screen and saw that he had blocked her. Panic surged through her. She didn't even know his real name, so there was no way of contacting him."Fuck!" Betty screamed, her voice cracking with fury as she flung her phone to the wall.The phone slammed against the wall, shattering to pieces."I paid him so much money," She whispered desperately, her hands gripping her head as tears welled up in her eyes. "How could he do this to me?"She had been so sure he would get the job done. That was supposed to be her moment of victory, the critical step in her plan. But she had been so wrong. Things had fallen apart, slipping through her fingers like sand. "How am I going to get rid of that little bitch now? What if James finds her and gets back with Amanda?" She muttered, her tears flowing down her cheeks. "What am I going to do?"It felt like her limbs grew weak,

"What?" Her father gasped, momentarily taken aback by the boldness in her voice."Daddy, please tell me you can do it," Betty's voice softened, filled with desperation, as she leaned closer to him, gripping his arm tightly. "I need to get rid of that woman. I can't stand her anymore,""Who are you talking about?" Her father asked cautiously, his voice calm but probing. "Is it James' ex-wife,"Betty wanted to lie but decided to tell the truth. There was no need to conceal her pains anymore, she needed an intervention from her father."Daddy, James can never love me if she's around him," Betty said, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I need her dead. I know this might be too much, but I don't know what to do anymore,"Her father could have easily told her to forget about James, but he believed that whatever his daughter wanted should be hers. He was so obsessed with satisfying his daughter's wants that he would go to any limit."They are both looking for their daughter, it won't take too l

"Amanda, I didn't bring up that birthday party for my selfish intentions. I was only concerned about your well being and—"Amanda placed her hand gently on her shoulder, cutting her off with a soft but firm gesture. "It doesn't matter what her intentions were. You had no right to treat her like everything was her fault," Amanda said, her voice steady as she defended her. "I made the decision to leave with my daughter, and you couldn't have stopped me even if you tried." "It might have seemed insensitive at that moment, but you shouldn't have treated her like that. Lizzy is my friend, and I know she wants the best for me. Your intentions are good too,Charles...but you can't force your ideas on others," Amanda continued, her eyes softening as she tried to ease the tension. Charles hadn't expected Amanda to stand up for Lizzy, especially after everything that had happened, but he let out a deep breath and agreed."You're right," He said. "I think I went overboard. I'm sorry." "Don't

The next morning, Amanda dialed Lizzy's number. She had been thinking about their interactions yesterday. When Lizzy answered, Amanda immediately sensed that something was different. "Lizzy...are you okay?" Amanda asked, her voice laced with concern. "You're not still upset about yesterday, are you?" Lizzy wasn't upset at all. Her thoughts were consumed by the kiss she shared with Charles. "Lizzy," Amanda called, bringing her back to the present. "Yes!" Lizzy replied quickly, her voice higher than intended. "I am fine. I'm not upset about what happened yesterday. That's in the past now." She added, trying to sound casual. Amanda exhaled in relief, glad that her friend didn't hold a grudge. "I'm happy to hear that," Amanda said softly, her lips curling into a small smile. Despite the relief, she was still unhappy about a lot of things. But she had to get used to swallowing her pain. She couldn't make everyone worried about her all the time."How are you feeling, babe? You seem

Lizzy noticed that Amanda wasn't following her, so she turned back in concern."Amanda?" A gasp escaped her lips as she saw her friend stumbling, struggling to keep her balance. She rushed to her friend and grabbed onto her."Amanda, are you okay?" Lizzy asked, her voice laced with worry. "What's happening? Do you feel dizzy?"I just received a text from another unknown...number," Amanda lifted her reddened eyes, whispering with a shaky voice. "They said that my daughter is with them, and she's not doing well. Lizzy, my daughter might be in danger." Lizzy felt extremely shocked, but she put her emotions aside. Right now, Amanda needed her. "Let's go into the car, so you can explain things more clearly," Lizzy urged, slowly helping Amanda to her feet. "Just take deep breaths,"Amanda did as she was told, and they walked slowly to the car. As they got in, Lizzy handed Amanda a bottle of water from the car.Amanda gulped it down and took a few more deep breaths."Do you feel better n

Amanda's hands began trembling and her face flooded with tears. Slowly, she brought her shaky hands to her face, crying in her palms. She should be glad that someone had her daughter, but the thought of her daughter being hurt somewhere terrified her. What would happen if she didn't reach her in time? What if this person simply wanted to trick her for the reward? "Lizzy, I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so confused..." Amanda sobbed, uncovering her face and turning to Lizzy, her eyes glistening with desperation. Lizzy, who was still feeling the sting of Amanda's earlier attitude, kept silent. Realizing how much she had offended her friend, Amanda apologized. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm just in a disheartening position right now..." Lizzy sighed and looked at her with concern, "I understand, but we've got to think wisely about this," She muttered, thoughtfully taking her hand to her chin. "Why is this person suddenly texting when we're on the verge of uncovering th

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.

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
