Camila who was still angry at Amanda decided she wouldn't stop trying to remove Amanda from Gabriel's life so she sought to make Gabriel hate her so she would stay away from him. She planned to set Amanda up and make sure she would not escape it for any reason. She went to a bar to have a drink while thinking about it.All her life she hated Amanda so much and only wanted to see her suffer because that was what she deserved. Losing her mom at a very young age makes her less privileged and a loser to start with.She deserved the maid kind of low life and wasn't meant to experience any form of joy, peace, or happiness, that was what made her make her life a living hell before she finally left home."Why would she think now that she deserves Gabriel when she was still alive, Hale and hearty? All the while they went to high school, she had always been attracted to Gabriel because he was the richest boy in school then but it had always pissed her off that he would always stick and follow
Amanda sat with Gabriel reading a book to him. He had insisted that she do so to keep his company. She was trying her best to do whatever she could to make it up to him as she still felt guilty about the incident that happened and wanted to make sure Gabriel saw that it was never an intentional act but a mere coincidence that they never knew would occur. She never knew the whole stuff was a setup. She wondered if the men which Eric's guards had confessed and what they might say as a reason which made them attack her and Gabriel. She knew that the attack wouldn't come if there was no reason because unless you have offended such a group of people or a person among them, they would never ambush you and try to hurt you. She prayed that whosoever was behind it should be caught because the person just toiled with another person's life and deserved to be punished. She remembered Eric and how he came to their rescue, she also remembered how she yelled at him and immediately she felt very
"Who asked you to do what you did?" The doctor questioned the nurse with rage.She shivered as she avoided the doctor's gaze. She regretted doing what she did and wished she didn't listen to Camilla.She prayed that the doctor wouldn't involve the police."I am asking you a question," the doctor barked which made her shiver."If you don't tell me who asked you to do this, be ready to be locked up in jail because I'm going to involve the police," the doctor said which made the nurse look up immediately."It's the lady looking after him. The lady who brought him to the hospital. She was the one that asked me to do it while she was away so that she would not be suspected," The nurse confessed, lying that Amanda was the one that asked her to do what she did just as Camilla had asked her to do."You mean Miss Amanda?" The doctor said and the nurse quickly nodded."Why do you think I would believe you?" The doctor asked her."I have the recording of everything. I did it should in case she r
"How dare you say such. Can't you see that someone's life is involved and are you in any way meant to handle this case because it clearly shows that you ain't in any way related to being a police or anything profession related to it," Camilla said in anger.Eric looked up at her and looked away, immediately he dragged Amanda out and started leaving."Guards, are you watching her leave? Go after her and do something. The mastermind of this is getting away just like that and y'all ain't doing any," Camilla said to them."I'm sorry, it's beyond our involvement now I hope you and the patient would understand," The doctor replied and started leaving.He knew he wouldn't dare get involved if his life and his hospital still mattered to him. Eric was way more powerful with much influence than even the president of the country and everyone knew that. As he left, he wondered why Camilla would dare slap Eric across the face when she knew who he was.He waved it off and concluded that she might b
Eric led Amanda back to the car. She didn't even struggle to pull him away or pull herself of his grip. She just obeyed.He opened the car door for her and led her in, he got in too, and drove off. He knew that the best place he could take her to was her apartment which he had been keeping a close watch on in case the culprit who had been behind everything that was happening showed up.He also hired people who clean the blood and the words written on the wall of her apartment. They had rearranged it and put a more secure lock before he left the previous day.Amanda couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the hospital, it was still like a shock to her. She couldn't believe that Gabriel believed Camilla's claim when he knew how she was. She was so disappointed in Gabriel and regretted thinking that he was someone she could rely on after he came over to this place.She would have stayed away from him, she said to herself as she blamed herself, if she had stayed away, maybe none of
Eric later left that night, promising the visit the next day after work. He told her not to be scared as he would leave some of its guards around her apartment to guard it and stop whosoever would try to scare her. Amanda thanked him and saw him off to his car.He reluctantly kissed her goodnight before going to his car. Amanda waved him goodbye before he started the car and drove off.She went back to her apartment feeling very excited. She jumped on the bed after having a cool shower thinking about what happened between them.She was still surprised at herself and kept on wondering what gave her such boldness to make the first move. Maybe it was because she could no longer hold it back or she needed comfort at that moment because of what happened but in return, she felt very happy that she had finally let out her feelings and in return, it was reciprocated.She laughed to herself feeling like a high school girl newly in love, she remembered the kiss and how he trailed his tongue on
David Anderson sat behind his desk lost in deep thoughts, for a decade now. He had never won against Eric Adams nor anywhere close to him. He could still remember him as a struggling man who just set up his miserable company.It was still fresh in his memory, he was yet to forget how Eric came to him to seek help that fateful day and he walked him out, only to hear that he had set up his own company three months after the incident.He had laughed at him and also visited him to insult him and remind him where his place was in society which was among the less privileged as he had visioned then but it was a shock to him when Eric's miserable company magically started topping other companies and gaining heights. He had underestimated him and what he was capable of.David had never imagined that someday, Eric's company would be above him, and Eric who used to be the miserable lad became ten times richer and had more influence and fame than him.He has allowed himself to get defeated by Eri
Amanda had gotten to the car park when she saw Camilla rushing into the hospital premises. She stopped at the guard's quarter.She exchanged words with them before heading into the hospital. She got to Gabriel's ward and found him alone on his bed with teary eyes which got her angry."She was here right?" She asked him and walked towards him."I thought she was going to stay off. What did she say to you? Why are you crying?" Camilla asked him as she got closer.She opened her handbag and brought out a scarf. She made use of it to wipe the tears off Gabriel's face but he refused, struggling with her. She got angry and slapped him hard across the cheek."I don't care about your condition. I am only here for your money so don't think that I wouldn't discipline you when you misbehave," Camilla barked in anger.She searched her bag and brought out an injection."This!" She said, showing Gabriel the injection."This can make you lose your legs and remain bedridden for the rest of your life.
