"W-what are you saying?" Betty stammered, her heart racing wildly in her chest."James is dead," Her father repeated, his voice less emotionless."What James are you speaking of? Is it a business partner or one of our non-existent relatives?" Betty asked, her voice trembling. "I don't understand.""It's James. Agnes' son," Her father replied. "The men I sent to end Amanda, unfortunately, shot James instead.""What!" Betty screamed, her eyes pooling with tears. "No, this can't be true. Are you lying to me so I can forget about him, Or is this a prank or something? Are we in the month of April?"Her voice was laced with disbelief and confusion. She couldn't imagine the man she was obsessed with and had pursued for so long being dead."Daddy, please stop joking. Some jokes are expensive," Betty cried out."Betty, are you okay?" Zoe's voice chimed from behind."I'm not joking, Betty," He said, his voice firm. "James got shot. There's no way he could survive such a bullet, according to the

"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

“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

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

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

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

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

"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

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
