Amanda The moment Jason and I walked into the house, the sweet aroma of dumplings wafted through my nose. I knew instantly that my sister-in-law was in the kitchen. Suzie came out, so I dropped my bag on the chair and went into her open arms in an embrace.“Why are you wearing such a long face?” She asked me.“I am very tired, Suzie,” I said. “I just want to have a hot bath, eat, and go to bed. I had a very long day.”“Yeah, you are right,” Suzie said. “I'll make you and my brother, Jason, some snacks to eat, first. Just go and freshen up, first, okay?”“So, you can see me, after all?” I heard Jason say as I walked up the stairs to my room.I hurriedly pulled off my clothes and kept them in the basket. I planned on doing the laundry the next day.Next, I removed my jewelry carefully and dropped it in one of my cute little jewelry boxes. When I was finally fully undressed, I entered the beautifully colored and scented bathtub and lowered myself until the water was at the length of m
AmandaToday, three years ago, Jason Grey proposed to me at the airport, just as we returned from our trip to the beautiful New York City. He had everything planned out, and I said "yes" to him in the presence of a very large crowd. I was filled with ecstasy at the time, and I thought that I would be the happiest woman in the world. To me, Jason Grey was everything a woman could ever desire... He was gorgeous, very attentive towards me, and prioritized my happiness above every other thing or person. I later discovered that it was all a facade, though. He was also very wealthy as he was the founder and CEO of JG Fitness co-operation. We got married two weeks after his proposal, and that was when everything changed for me. Jason Grey, the people's idol, was the very opposite of everything I ever wanted. My name's Amanda Grey and today was supposed to be our third anniversary, but of course, my husband, Jason Grey, completely forgot about it. I headed down the road and towards the bo
AmandaLena Dunham was taken to the hospital the same day my father was buried, because she had thrown a tantrum like a little child and had cried her eyes out that day, and finally fainted. I kept on going to the hospital every day to check up on her and take care of her. She was a very cute woman, and you could mistake her for a teenager, sometimes, but she was very well into her late twenties and was some years older than I. To me, she was one crazy woman, who tried to steal the spotlight and spew rubbish on the day my father was buried. My father had no other child or children. I was sure of it, or maybe I was really hoping against all odds that he didn't., and that I was right.Lena had been unconscious for thirty-two hours, and when she finally woke up, I was relieved."How are you feeling?" I tried to touch her cheek, but she pushed my hand off violently."Don't touch me, you vile woman!" She flung the ceramic cup which was on a desk close to her bed at me, but I dodged, bar
Amanda We drove to the company in silence. Jason had an important meeting to attend. The driver was going to drop him off, then take me to my grandparents. I wanted to see them as soon as possible, else, I would go crazy with thinking and worrying."What's on your mind?" Jason looked up from his phone and stared at me emotionlessly. I had not yet recovered from the shock of his sudden desire to make reckless love to me a few hours ago, but the thoughts of Lena occupied my mind and kept me from dwelling on it."Nothing," I smiled wryly, hoping he'd let the conversation die, because I was in no mood for a chit-chat, especially not with him."You've met Lena, haven't you? Why aren't you asking me anything?"I wondered why he was bringing Lena up. I had clearly avoided having any conversation concerning her with him."I have nothing to ask," I said briefly, not bothering to look at him."You're learning to mind your business," he laughed, throwing his hand with abandon, then, he took my
Amanda "Drive to the house first. I want to redo my makeup before heading to my grandparents' place, " I settled into the back seat. I clutched my stomach tenderly, now aware that I had a new life growing inside my womb."Yes, ma'am," Anderson studied me from the mirror for some time, then added, "Will you tell Jason?""Tell him what?" I asked absentmindedly, my hands still clutching my abdomen.Anderson looked at my hands against my abdomen and smiled sadly, "That... The baby...""Oh!" My lips opened but no words came out. I gave out a weak grunt and smiled almost immediately. Leaning a little bit forward, I said, "I wouldn't. I have no intention of telling him. He'd never know, if not he might hurt my unborn child."Anderson stopped the car abruptly."Why don't you leave?" He held the steering fiercely and shut his eyes, as though he were trying to remember something. Leave! I'll help you."I wondered why his voice seemed a little bit raised. Ignoring it, I said, "I can't. It's not
Amanda, "They're still alive," The Doctor reported to us after hours spent in emergency surgery on both of them. "Thankfully, the knife didn't pierce any delicate organ. They're in a coma, as they have severe brain injury, alongside the multiple stabbing wounds found on their bodies.""When will they wake up?" That was the first word I managed to say ever since I had entered and found their almost lifeless bodies back in their house."I can't say, but there's hope. It'll take a while, but they might be able to survive this. We'd keep a close eye on them, rest assured."We thanked the doctor, stood up, and headed to the room that held the grandparents. They were oblivious to their surroundings and were very much unconscious, but it appeared they were sleeping peacefully.I felt a hand on my shoulder from behind and looked up to see who it was, "Anderson," I sighed in relief. Thank you. You've been of great help to me," I went in for another hug and cried heavily."How did this happen
Amanda Would you believe that Amanda told the Police that she thinks I'm the one that harmed her grandparents?" Lena adjusted in her seat, crossing one leg against the other, and leaning towards Jason."What?" Jason feigned surprise, "I don't understand. Why'd she do that?" "Apparently, she saw me driving out of her grandparents' compound on the day of the accident." Lena sipped on the drink that Jason had offered her, then sighed deeply."What were you doing there, though?""I actually did pay them a visit, but I walked in and found them like that, unconscious and almost dead," she said sulkily, "so I left."Why didn't you take them to the hospital? Why didn't you call the police?""If I had done that, wouldn't that have implicated me?"Jason stared at Lena, trying to read her expression, but she remained expressionless."You really didn't do it, right? As much as I despise Amanda, I don't want you harming her grandparents. That's my concern, not yours.""You're forgetting that the
Amanda Before I made up my mind to come out of my hiding place and confront my husband and his mistress, I called Anderson and told him to come over to my house in the next twenty minutes.I knew it wouldn't go well, and that Jason and Lena would end up doing something funny, if not harming me. "What's really going on, Amanda, are you in trouble?" Anderson's worried voice thundered against the phone speaker."Not yet," I replied, swallowing hard. " But, maybe, soon.""Don't do it," Anderson warned, "whatever it is you plan on doing, don't do it!""I have to, Anderson. I've been a coward for a long time. Jason doesn't respect me at all. Guess what? Lena's here.""What? Who's Lena?""The lady we saw driving out of my grandparents' place.""What's she doing there?""It's a long story. I'll fill you in later. I have to go, now.""So, you want to confront them? Aren't you scared?""I am, and that's why I called you."*. *. *. *. *Anderson had arrived at Jason's house and found my body
