Kelvin led Amanda holding her on her shoulder. She sat down on the bare floor with the wet clothes she was putting on, she was still crying and hadn't stopped. She was still feeling bad about everything and jow Mrs. Bryan accused her of seducing her husband.She cleaned her eyes and looked up at Kelvin who was standing in front of her. His eyes were full of care and concern which made her wonder why he would have such a look in his eyes toward her. He had never cared and should act like he did today. She would never fall for a such look and allow him to come into her life again. She is already done with him and doesn't have any reason to stick still with him or have him around."What do you want from me?" Amanda asked him calmly, staring at the ground absentmindedly. "Hey Amanda, I'm just here to keep you company and make you feel warm. I'm not going to hurt you," Kelvin replied with a smile on his face. He didn't understand why Amanda would suddenly ask him such a question."Why all
Amanda woke the following morning with a headache. She held on her head with her hand and she stood up from her bed, walking toward the kitchen to get herself a glass of water.After getting the water, she went back to her bedside to get an aspirin tablet which she swallowed and drank the whole glass of water.She went back to the kitchen, looking around the cabinet thinking of what to cook when she heard her phone ringing. She quickly walked toward her bed and picked up her phone to see who might be calling her. She swiped the button up seeing the call was from Gabriel." Good morning Gabriel," Amanda greeted in a calm voice." Morning Amanda, I am very sorry for leaving you yesterday. Have been trying to get a good apartment here, so the real estate agent called me last night to check a place out." " Have been sleeping in a hotel which I am not comfortable with," Gabriel explained over the phone." It's okay. What are you doing in California?" Amanda asked with narrow eyes." Dad
Amanda arrived at Eric's mansion and met James in the living room watching TV. Immediately he saw her, he rushed up and hugged her tight.Amanda smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. They disengaged from the hug and she toward the dining table."James, come here, I bought some chicken," Amanda said, looking at James whose eyes were fixed on the TV.Amanda dropped the chicken and ice cream package on the table. She brought them out and served them to James."Thank you, Auntie Amanda," James said happily on seeing the ice cream and the peppered chicken. He quickly grabbed the ice cream and opened it. He picked up the spoon and started scooping from the ice cream plate with Happiness."Thank you, Auntie Amanda, the ice cream is very delicious," James said with happiness."You're welcome, we will get more next time. I'm planning on taking you out very soon," Amanda said to James.His eyes lit up in a smile when he heard Amanda's words. He had been longing to go out with Amanda."When d
Amanda and James were baking cake in the kitchen when Eric came back, he asked after them, and one of his employees informed him that they were in the kitchen.He left for the kitchen to inform Amanda and James that he was back. He found them laughing and playing in the kitchen while baking a cake. He stopped at the door and rested on the frame as he watched them with admiration.They appeared so perfect and good together that it looked like they were a real family. This made him desire to have a complete family again but he immediately killed off the desire, concluding that he wasn't yet ready to face another phase of betrayal. He walked into and cleared his throat which informed them of his presence.Amanda and James quickly turned to look at him. They were shocked because they weren't expecting he would be coming back so early. They greeted him and he returned it."I can see the both of you are very busy," Eric said, looking around."Yes Dad, we are," James replied excitedly. "How
Amanda walked back to her apartment, thinking about Eric and why he was suggesting that she come to visit after James goes on holiday.She hissed out loud and walked inside, she slumped on the bed tiredly. She checked her time and noticed that it was already past 8 pm in the night.She got up from bed and walked into the kitchen to make a simple dinner for herself. While in the kitchen, her phone rang and she quickly picked it up.She sat on one of the kitchen chairs in the kitchen, she smiled before saying."Hello, Gabriel," "Hey babe, how are you?" Gabriel asked over the phone which made Amanda roll her eyes. She had asked him to stop calling her babe and that was a long time ago but hearing him call her babe showed that he hadn't stopped."Hey, you don't want to stop with the babe already?" Amanda asked with a smile."Why? When you are my babe," Gabriel replied.Amanda frowned and said."No, I'm not. Please don't bring up this argument. We are grown now and have passed that stage,
Amanda arrived at the estate address given to her by Gabriel after promising to visit him so she could help him with his apartment arrangement.She rang the doorbell and waited patiently for him to come to answer it, it didn't take a minute before the door opened."Hey Amanda," Gabriel called and stretched out his hand for a hug. Amanda returned the hug and they disengaged some minutes later."Come inside," Gabriel said excitedly and opened the door wider for Amanda. She thanked him and followed him in, he gestured for her to sit down on the chair.Gabriel smiled at Amanda before offering her a seat. He quickly rushed to the kitchen to get Amanda some snacks..she returned with cookies and milk and handed them over to her."Welcome to my apartment," Gabriel said with a smile, he picked up a file that was on the center table and dropped it back. He was sorting out some files before Amanda showed up. He had to drop it now and focused on Amanda."Yeah, thank you," Amanda replied, returni
Eric woke up early around 6 am. He took his bath and dressed up for work. On to the living room, he met the dining table empty, he looked around but didn't see James. " The young master is still in bed, sir," one of his workers said."Okay. Is breakfast ready? Eric asked, walking toward the table." Yes sir."He sat and the cook served him breakfast. After he was done eating, he walked back to his room to get his laptop.On getting to his room, he remembered that he wished to deal with Bryan's family for harassing Amanda and making her lose her job in the club, he remembered how her cheek was red as a result of Mrs. Bryan's assault.He quickly picked up his phone and called his assistant, Gerald and he picked up immediately."I want you to look into Bryan's family's past. Dip out all the crimes they had committed or participated in," Eric said over the phone immediately Gerald picked up."Yes, Boss. I will immediately look into it as you want the information today," Gerald said calml
Amanda left for Eric's home to meet James. She had already gotten over everything that had happened and because she would no longer have to go to work, she felt a little bit excited about spending the day with James before he would visit his grandparents.She got there during James' closing hours from school and found James already at home. He ran to meet her and hugged her before leading her into her room.They sat on his bed, ready to start the day. James looked up at Amanda with a smile and then grabbed his school bag."We are finally done with our exams, I want to check out my grade," James said."Alright, let's see what you got baby," Amanda said in a tiny voice which left James laughing out loud but he stopped amidst the laugh and frowned."I'm actually scared of checking my grades out, I don't know maybe they will look just like before," James said with fear.He had written what he best found out as the best answers, and he made sure he read for the exam too and passed but he i
