Chapter 60Amanda's POVWill my mother ever get her sanity back fully or this is how it's going to be till the very end of my story? "It's okay Mom, I can take care of myself, come sit with me and style my hair, I need to get ready for prom,” I added bringing out the hair comb and passing it to her. She took it from me and styled my hair, she didn't say a word to me, should I be worried?She was crying, "Mom, is everything okay? Why are you crying?”"Promise me that you won't die.” She asked of me."What do you mean Mom? I am not dying okay, look at me, I am strong.”"Just promise me.” She asked again and I gave her my word.My mother is really acting weird and I really don't know what is happening to her.I will meet with the doctor afterward to know what is going on with her.I later had fruit with my mom before meeting the doctor, I made sure she was asleep.The doctor welcomed me to his office and I thanked him for doing a good job right from the time my mother was brought in he
Chapter 61Amanda's POV"Yes Layla, we are together now, I am sorry for not telling you all this while, please don't be angry at her.” Andrew just revealed the whole thing to them and I still couldn't utter a word out."Oh wow, I knew something was going on between you two and I couldn't connect the dots at all, I am so happy for you two,” Layla said out loud with so much excitement and hugged me and here I was stuck in my mind thinking she will be so offended that I am married to her adopted brother.Right, I haven't mentioned our marriage yet to her."Thank you.”"Congratulations man, I am so happy for you and now we can go out for a double date.” Nate shook hands with Andrew and they hugged."Thank you so much,” Andrew said in excitement."So we are going to be expecting a wedding soon!” Layla added and Andrew and I kept calm."Right?” Layla inquired again."Layla, the truth is, we are married already and we are sorry again,” Andrew revealed the remaining part."OMG, are you guys j
Chapter 62Andrew's POV I was happy she bought my stories and also, Layla is aware of the truth but before I could bring my wife publicly and do a proper wedding for us, I need to bring the Dark Circle to book, I feel I am kind of sluggish these days, I need answers as soon as possible because I don't want my wife to feel I am keeping a distance.I woke up to an empty bed, at first I thought my wife was taken away while I was asleep because I slept so deeply.I rushed out and I saw her sitting with her laptop, I felt better but seeing the way she closed her laptop, seems she was up to something but what exactly?Immediately she told me she had to reply to a few emails, I stopped thinking otherwise.I made sure everything was sorted at home like giving her breakfast, I got a text from Romeo saying he was around and we needed to dig out my father's old office that was locked, I knew it would be a long day so I didn't know when I will be returning home, so I just told her I will be late
Chapter 63Andrew's POVImmediately they fired the gun,they left with speed,I really can't explain what just happened but I thought I lost my friend,then I notice it was powder dust, meaning this is a warning."I am sorry I had to shock you that way,last warning because next time a real bullet will take down your friend and your beautiful wife,I can see she is enjoying herself at home,do you also want me to pay her a visit?”"Stay away from my wife,if anything should happen to her,know this,I will find you and you will be the first person I will kill.”"You know you are bluffing,talk to your soon Walter.” He ended the call and I was really angry.I rushed to my friend and helped him to the car,when the security finally stepped out,I told them to get me the footage of those power bike,I believe it should have plate numbers on them as well.I entered the car and said to my friend,"I am truly sorry for involving you in my mess.”"Come on friend,this is not your fault, those bastards can'
Chapter 64Amanda's POV I am really lost here, what exactly is going on that I need to know at once?I took a deep breath wondering what went wrong. Was I too direct? Maybe I should have maintained a friendship with him before asking him that kind of question, this is so weird and I really don't know what to do.Who is Andrew Walter, is it that difficult to know who my husband really is and what he is capable of doing as well? Everything just sucks and I am tired.I made an attempt to call the doctor again but for no reason, I didn't since I am home today, let me do some work on my laptop to get myself busy, In the meantime, I am tired of starting afresh with companies, it makes me wonder, why don't I just start with my brand by airing a few entertainment online, I guess people will love it, they always love me so doing that won't be a problem right? I asked myself and I spent a lot of time on my laptop without blinking.I drank my orange juice in the process and about to wrap things
Chapter 65Amanda's POV"Okay baby, let's go then, as long we are both together always, then I have no problem at all.”"That's my wife.” He kissed me and we took our time to pack up our things, while doing that, we heard a knock at the door."I will go and get that,” I said in a rush because I was certain maybe someone had come to make a delivery for him.I opened the door in a hurry and I was shocked to see Layla and her husband Nate."Layla, I didn't know you were coming,” I said because I wasn't expecting her and her husband."Come here love.” she hugged me."Well, she did call you but you weren't answering your calls,” Nate added."I bought pizza.” She said and they both came in, then I realized I left my phone on the table in the living room."Wow, pizza time it is, sorry I didn't pick up your call, I wasn't with my phone.“ I apologize."Hey, Man.” Andrew shook hands with Nate and they were really happy to meet both of us at home but I noticed Andrew was not comfortable with it
Chapter 1LAYLA’S POVI stood before the tomb of my late dad. I missed him so much and wished he could be here with me but it’s so sad that death took him from me. When I was done mourning and talking to my dad, I looked and saw Nate staring and waiting for me. I have been married to Nate for a year plus but we don’t love each other ___well he didn’t love me and to me I just felt like I was a barrier obstructing him from living his life. My marriage to Nate was just us fulfilling my dad’s wish before he passed, he has always wanted us to be married before he died so we had to do it which makes me feel so guilty, and he needed to be with the woman he loved and not me.“Hey, are you okay?” he asked. I loved the way Nate always became soft whenever I visited my dad.Because that was the only few times he showed care about me.“Yeah” I assured him,He left a faint smile on his face.“Should we get going?” he asked“Yeah” I gave a faint answer.…. We were on our way home with a
Chapter 2LAYLA’S POVI was trying to figure out what they were talking about so I started approaching Nate’s office but stopped on my track when I saw her coming out and I felt frozen.The woman that was chatting with Nate… my husband with that singsong voice and beautiful smile, I was no other than Chloe, Nate’s ex.What is she doing here?Chloe and Nate had been dating in high school, they were the perfect match because both of them were A-level students and attractive. Everyone was jealous and wanted their relationship. They were older than me with class and age so I was invisible to both of them even though I was really in love with Nate. Nate had been happy around Chloe, and that had never really been the case when he was around me. Which made me feel what I felt when we were in high school all over again. Chloe was smart and beautiful and funny, which was everything, she was that perfect girl and I knew that I couldn’t beat her. I didn’t want them to see me so I decided to
