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

  • Trapped By My Billionaire Husband    Chapter 26 What Could Have Gone Wrong?

    Jason “I'm sorry, Suzie, truly, I am,” The doctor started and I could feel a smile begin to form at the corners of my mouth, but I struggled to appear neutral and emotionless throughout.The doctor leaned forward a little bit until her clasped hands were resting on the table, directly in front of her. She tapped on the table slowly, as though she was trying to show off her well-polished, beautiful nails. We sat a few meters away from her, just directly opposite her.“We tried everything we could, but Mark couldn't make it,” She finished off in one breath. It seemed as though she was avoiding making eye contact with either of us.I looked sideways at my sister. I couldn't tell what she was thinking or feeling, because she didn't wear her emotions on her face. I looked down at her hands which she placed on her thighs, and noticed that they were trembling. She tried to steady them by pressing on her fingers and taking deep breaths, but it seemed those hands had minds of their own.“Than

  • Trapped By My Billionaire Husband    Chapter 27 Shameless Lena

    AmandaI looked up as soon as I heard Lena's voice. How could a woman be so shameless and bold?I felt like running inside my room. I was not sure that I had the nerve to talk to Lena the way that I really wanted to. However, on second thought, I decided that I would not. “You do have guts, Lena! What are you doing in my house by this time of the night?”I stood up consciously because I didn't want it to be obvious that I was actually trembling from head to toe.Actually, my reassurance was that Suzie was in the house. I could never do this if it were just my husband, Lena, and me in the house because they would definitely not let me go scot-free.Lena's shrieking laughter brought me out of my reverie.“You are just Jason's wife in name, and you know it! Do you not have self-respect? I really can't understand why you are still in this marriage when it is clear that my man does not love you,” Lena finished in one breath. She flipped her hair backward, and I could see the heavy makeup s

    AmandaI woke up to the blinding splash of sunlight from the partially opened curtains. I spread out my hands in an attempt to feel for my husband, but I felt the ruffled bedspread and duvet, instead.He is not here!I breathed out a huge sigh of relief, then sat up carefully and felt for my hair bonnet. It must have fallen off while I was sleeping.The memories of last night came flooding in without a filter… Lena's abrupt visit and audacity and Jason's stinging slap against my left cheek left his imprint on my cheek.Then, his persistent advances after he had entered our bedroom last night. When I did not oblige, he forced himself on me and had his way.I tried to stand up and walk towards the dressing table but my legs felt wobbly. Hence, I took slow but calculative steps until I reached the dressing table. One look at the mirror, and I could see that the hand imprint Jason had left on my left cheek last night was gone.“Phew!” I exhaled loudly, as relief washed over me. At least t

  • Trapped By My Billionaire Husband    Chapter 1: Bittersweet Memories

    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

  • Trapped By My Billionaire Husband    Chapter 2: Snake Tattoo

    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

    SuzieI couldn't believe my eyes. I pinched myself lightly to be sure that I wasn't dreaming, and I felt a slight pain on the spot.I looked sideways and noticed that my brother was observing me closely. It looked as though blood drained from his face because he looked unusually pale. His eyes kept darting here and there as though he was looking for reassurance that I would be fine.“Did you invite him over?”My brother asked me.“No, I didn't,” I replied. “I didn't even give him the address of this place. I'm as shocked as you are, Jason.”… But then, the voice from the door interrupted us.“P– pl— please, th– the door,” the person at the door slurred. Jason and I exchanged quick glances before Jason checked the door again.“I don't know… it feels as though he were hurt or something.” I felt a painful churn in my stomach, and my legs felt wobbly.“S– Suz– Suzie, pl– please,help me!” With my heart on my sleeve, I didn't think twice before I brought the passkey and opened the door.H

    Jason As soon as the door slid open, I bent over Amanda and hugged her. She got the message because she clutched onto my arm and leaned into my embrace. She was shivering, but the weather wasn't cold, neither was the room cold. In fact, right on the contrary, the weather was quite on the hot side.My heart sank into my stomach as I held onto Amanda. I worried that she could sense my fear, as I was sure that she could hear and notice the increase in my heartbeats. “Amanda!” A familiar voice called out as soon as he entered the room. The hairs on my body stood up, and I opened my mouth in surprise.Why was he here? I had clearly instructed him to not come to the hospital and to resume working again the next day. Did he actually just defile my orders?“Andrew?” Amanda raised up her head, immediately. I watched her closely because,, strangely, I wanted to see how she would react.I watched as Andrew made his way towards us. But, just as he was a few meters away from where we were, I sai

    AmandaI opened my mouth to talk, but no words came forth. “He died?” Hilton asked absentmindedly. He placed his hands on top of his head while shaking his head from side to side.“Why are you acting like you don't remember a thing, old man?” Jason offered ignorantly. “Yes, Dean died some years ago. Are y'all suffering from dementia or something?”I gripped the hem of my dress tightly, as goose bumps began to appear on my body. I walked over to where Jason stood and attempted to whisper something in his ear, but he brushed me off a little bit too forcefully because the next thing I knew, I was on the floor, holding onto my bruised knee.It was as though Matilda, my grandma, was imitating Hilton's behavior, because she also had her hands clasped over her head, while I noticed that her eyes were beginning to well up.“No! No!” My grandma shrieked, as though she were in intense pain. My grandma stood up and tried to comfort her, but when she refused to calm down, he joined her in scream

    Jason “Stop!” I yelled as I walked back briskly to where Lena, her mum, and her mum's boyfriend, Mr. Fred Sky, were.Lena was on the floor, writhing in pain and holding onto her cheek, while Uriel, her mother, was bending over her, jeering at her. She seemed to be very pissed and irritated.“You ran away from home when I was sick, you Jezebel!” Miss Uriel said as she pointed at Lena violently. “You left your sick mother all by herself, even when I was very down and struggling. All because of what?” She stopped and shot daggers at me with her eyes. If looks could kill, I would have been long dead by that intense stare.“... All because of this man and your stupid high school obsession?” She continued angrily.I was taken aback. Cold sweat trickled down my spine as I thought about the weight of what Miss Uriel was saying.I always knew that Lena loved me a little bit too much, but what I didn't know was that she was capable of leaving her sick mother to be with me. She had told me an e

The sight I saw made my heart leap.My parents were awake… and they were conversing.“Oh my God!” I exclaimed while covering my mouth with my palms. “I– I th–thought something bad probably happened,” I managed to find my voice as I continued to observe the scene. I turned to the doctor who was beaming at me. “When did this happen? This is a miracle! I screamed and my grandparents turned around to stare at us. I closed the door. I didn't think they saw us.The doctor pulled me away from the door and we went to stand a few meters away from the room.“They have been picking up on treatment for some time now,” The doctor started, “However, early this morning, they talked for the first time.
