“Francisca can’t be left alone. Look after her!”Anna nodded solemnly. “Miss Amanda, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of her!”“Then I’ll take my leave first!”“Goodbye, Miss Amanda!”Amanda did not say anything else. She took her bag and left in a hurry.Dickson followed closely behind.Amanda arrived at the parking lot and reached for the car key in her pocket, only to realize thather car was still at the studio.Dickson was the one who sent her and Francisca to the hospital.“Uh…” Amanda frowned and resentfully put the car keys back into her bag.She was about to hail a taxi when a car stopped beside her.“Get in!” Dickson rolled down the window and looked at her casually.Amanda was stunned.Even though she didn’t want to get into his car, she knew he would go crazy again if she rejectedhim.Helpless, Amanda obediently got into the front passenger seat.In the car.Amanda did not say a word, Her expression was cold and indifferent.Dickson glanced at her from time to time, his g
Knock! Knock!The sound of the door was heard as it came with a knock not so loud.“Who could that be?” Dickson thought out loud as he tried finding out the person behind the door.“Are you expecting anyone in this house?” He asked Betty who acts like the second in command whenever Amanda isn't around.“I'm not expecting anyone, sir. As you can see madam Amanda asked me to watch over her son and that's what I'm being paid for.” She made her duties clear to him in a clearer tone.“I don't know if at all I'll be doing the right thing to open the door for the person behind the door to enter.” He stood up from where he sat and paced around uncontrollably.Betty watching the way Dickson moved spoke up, “You don't have to bother at all it might be that the knock was a mistake.”“That could be true as well. Let's hope that the knocker won't knock again.” Betty addressed him pointing her fingers to the chair instructing him to seat on it.Knock! Knock!“Did you hear that? I think I need to te
"Did you receive the letter that came in this morning at your office?" Dickson threw the question at Amanda like a challenge, his eyes demanding a response, his voice sharp with accusation."W-which letter are you talking about, Dickson?" She hoped, in her heart, that he wasn't referring to the devastating letter she had received earlier."Don't act dumb, WOMAN!" he protested, his patience wearing thin. "I'm talking about the divorce letter."The words hung in the air like a heavy storm cloud, casting a shadow over the room. Amanda's heart sank, and she staggered a bit as if the ground beneath her had shifted."You promised me that you’ll be by my side till death do us apart. I worked day and night, sacrificed so much for this marriage. Why are you doing this, Dickson? What did I do to deserve a divorce?" Amanda muttered, her voice laced with bitterness.Her eyes welled up with unshed tears. The weight of disappointment pressed upon her, threatening to break her spirit. She needed ans
“Papa! Papa! Please wake up. I beg you in the name of God. “ Alison Peters, the younger sister of Amanda, was seen beside her father at the hospital with tears filled in her eyes.“I’m so sorry Alison. We tried everything we could within our power and our means , but your father isn’t responding to our treatment nor getting any better. You should let him be and just say your last words to him.”Alison Peters frowned worriedly and said, “Doctor Tony, will you please try something else? If it requires money you just have to mention it and it is all done. My father can’t die now, not when we haven’t seen the person who has access to the property for five years.”“None of us have seen Amanda for some years now, not even my father. We don’t know what he was thinking when he willed all his properties to Amanda. He didn’t even consider his grandson’s over here. How could he? And they’ve always been by his side unlike his godforsaken daughter Amanda.””Everyone in the Peters family was misera
“I’m sorry, Father. I’m sorry for my lateness. I’m sorry for not being there for you when you needed me!” Amanda pleaded as hot tears dripped from her eyes.“Amanda,” Terry called her name and slowly opened his eyes, “You don’t have to be sorry. All that matters right now is that I got to see you before my last breath. And, seeing that you are safe and alive means alot to me. Oh, I can finally be relieved…”As he uttered out his last words to his beloved daughter, Terry reached out to hold Amanda’s hand , but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, hishead tilted, and his eyes shut!Beep! Beep! Beep!The ECG was beeping, declaring Terry’s death!“Father? Father!” Amanda called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.She knew that her grandpa was the only one that ever cared about her well-being!“Ah, come on, stop those fake crocodile tears! Who are you trying to deceive in this room? If you truly cared about your father you would have been here long ago. You didn’t show u
Amanda has been everyone’s favourite since she was little. She had that successful lifestyle planned out even though she had zero idea of how everything would all play out. But, looking at her today and how well she has worked morning and night to be different from other women made everything possible.“Take a look at Amanda, see how she’s been surrounded with different men and women of calibre. From the way she dresses to the luxury of perfume she has on her body one will tell that she’s now a boss of her own. Unlike Amelia, You are always pessimistic, foolish and insensitive but you have no idea and that’s why people will always use it against you.” Stella couldn’t stop praising Amanda in front of Amelia.“Sister, what has come over you? Why the sudden appraisal towards Amanda?”- Alison questioned her.“Amanda has become the most talked about daughter of our late father. Some of our relatives even forgets that Amanda is not the only child of our father but NO! They all want Amanda.

Every member of Terry’s family starting from his grand children down to his children, brothers and sisters all pulled up for his funeral except Amanda. Men of Timber and calibre including his long time friends all came to celebrate his death with the media house and their team of reporters.“Did you hear what Terry did to his wealth before he died?” one of the guest asked her friend whom she brought to the funeral celebration.“I don’t know what he did to his wealth. You know that i was out of the country when he passed on.” her friend gave her a quick response.“Oh! That’s true. Anyways, he willed all his property to his daughter,Amanda and gave only ten percent to his remaining children.”“Are you sure about this? I don’t know why i’m finding it this hard to buy in your story. But, why did he do that? Are you sure the remaining children are his?“H
"Amanda, who gave birth to these beautiful kids? Don't tell me that they are both yours Mandy?" Alison asked her the question without giving her any breathing space."They are my children, Alison." answered Amanda as she held Andrew's hand heading towards the direction where the kids were being seated."This is unbelievable to man's eyes. I can't believe that Amanda has two kids yet she refused to let Grandpa see them before he passed on. Who exactly is this girl?" Alison spoke to Patrick who stood beside her."I can't believe that Andrew stoop so low to accept the friendship proposal with our sister." Patrick gave a response to what Alison said.Everyone gave a constant look to what was happening around them, not to mention Amelia and Stella who thought their plans to take over Amanda's property would come to pass.Andrew is the epitome of a dream man. He is tall, dark, and handsome, with chiselled features and a piercing blue gaze. His athletic build is toned and muscular, without
