"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.
Amanda finished preparing the dinner earlier than she expected. She decided to do other things while waiting for Eric to show up.She decided to give the interior of her home a more appealing look by rearranging some items and spraying a nice perfume. She couldn't stop giggling and smiling whenever she remembered that she had finally been able to make her feelings known and Eric in return accepted it.She no longer had that fear of their social class and what people would think of them, she was ready to take that step with him as long as he was going to protect her from any danger involving it.She believed he would because he had already been coming to her rescue which showed that he had decided to take up his responsibility even before she made her feelings known.She happily rearranged the food again to suit her style before going to sit in the living room to wait for Eric.She had already taken a cool bath and also wore something nice. She poured her hair and applied light makeup.
Amanda went to the kitchen to prepare a quick meal for Eric leaving him alone in the room. She was grateful that the sickness wasn't as serious as she had thought it would be. She happily went about preparing the meal in the kitchen.She knew she had to be fast about it, she had earlier asked if he had had anything to eat but he said he hadn't had anything since morning.It made her worried and she felt like scolding him but she held back because she didn't want to blame him for it.She knew that he wasn't the type to stay hungry when he had enough. The sickness might have made him lose the appetite he needed to eat something.They opened the boiling noodles in the saucepan and inhaled their aroma. She was making one of her favorite foods for him and she felt very excited about it.She wanted him to see this side of her which screams of her being a wife material. Amanda paused as she thought about it, Wife material? She asked herself and shook her head before she continued with what
Anna dressed up in a nice outfit in preparation for going on the date with Marcus. She had woken up early to do the house chores and also help her aunt with the laundry.She told her aunt about the date as she decided it was right she knew about it. Her aunt happily approved of it and asked her to go ahead.She thanked her aunt and walked out of the house. She started heading towards the main road to board a cab when a car stopped in front of her.The driver behind the wheels removed the dark shades he was putting on which made her recognize him as Marcus.She smiled happily at him as he opened the car and came down to meet her."Why didn't you tell me on the phone that you were done? I would have gladly come to pick you up so you wouldn't be making use of the public transport," Marcus said looking displeased."I am sorry, I thought I was going to be an extra burden to you so I didn't find it right to do so," Anna replied looking away."It's alright. At least I caught up with you befo
