James went to Amanda's room to check up on her immediately after he got out of bed. He met her while still asleep in her room.She had woken up as the doctor stated but she was too weak to have a discussion with him which forced him to stay away and later retire to his room feeling sad. He hoped to talk with her the next day but she was still asleep.James decided not to go to school so he would stay with her at home. He went to the living room to sit and watch TV.Eric, who had walked down the stairs to get something from the kitchen, saw James sitting on a couch. He was still dressed in his pajamas and looked like he wasn't going to school.He headed towards his direction and came to stand in front of him after switching off the TV."You should be preparing for school, James," Eric said looking at him."Auntie Amanda is still not sound. I don't want to go to school, I want to look after her here at home," James said with a sad expression."James, I understand how you feel but she wi

Sophia sat lazily in the sitting room, attending to her nails while thinking of everything that happened in Eric's company. He had refused her to go in so they could meet. She laughed as she knew he can never avoid her forever because there is a child between the both of them.She knew she had betrayed him in the past and deserved any ill-treatment he would give her but at least she only requested an audience between them. She wasn't going to kill him or take James away. She laughed as she continued thinking about it, knowing that one day Eric would be forced to face her. She would make sure of that.She waved for a maid to come over and the maid did. "Prepare my bath. I want to have a bath in the next thirty minutes. Let's be warm. Add a lot of scented flowers and nerve calming antidotes okay?" She instructed."Yes ma'am!" The maid said and bowed before leaving to carry out Sophia's instruction.She looked at her beautiful milky skin and fine long legs which she adored so much. It

"Why are you here?" Eric asked, stopping her from saying whatever she wanted to say first."Eric, darling! Is it how you welcome your ex-wife?" Sophia asked and took his hand. Immediately a photographer who was sitting at another table inside the cafe secretly took a picture before Eric dragged his hand away."Know your boundaries, Sophia!" Eric barked at her."Seriously? When did we come to this? I only remember traveling out and now I am back and you are acting this cold towards me," Sophia said sarcastically with a grumpy look on her face."Oh shut up Sophia!" Eric barked in anger, not understanding why she was acting the way she was."Thirteen years Sophia, you left and never even came to check up on your own son. I don't have in mind that you never showed up because of shame. Yes, shame would not let you after everything you did. You gold digger!" Eric barked as much as he tried to control his temper."I did what I did for the safety of our son Eric. I was forced to do it because

Eric walked to the living room to check the news just as Marcus had said on the phone. He saw the picture of him and Sophia kissing and holding hands in the cafe on the screen. The News channel was reporting about him and his ex-wife being captured in a cafe together after many years of them being apart and his ex-wife being abroad.Eric got mad as he knew it was the work of Sophia. She had purposely done all she did in the cafe to make them become headlines again so people would think they never stopped seeing each other.He groaned and kicked a couch before he started heading upstairs to his room. On getting to his room, he picked up his cell phone and saw many notifications on his screen, they were all about him and Sophia which got him very annoyed.He threw the cell phone away and sat down to think of what to do. He wasn't smart and had been taken advantage of by Sophia again. He knew that no matter the amount of explanation he would give to the media, it would not clear everythi

The next day, Amanda refused to talk to Eric. She didn't see any reason to do so because she was still feeling hurt by what she saw on the internet. The news had popped up on her phone on its own because anything concerning Eric was a global matter that reporters don't joke with.She had been surprised at first when she saw it. She had to open the link to the news. The pictures attached to it left her shattered, used, and broken. "How could Eric do such a thing to her? He was publicly seeing and kissing his ex-wife which the camera had captured. She wondered how long they had been seeing each other.She concluded he had been using her because of James who got close to him because of her. Amanda felt tears running down her eyes as she thought more about everything.She heard him knock yesterday at the door, calling out her name and asking her to open the door but she refused because she didn't see any reason why she should do so.She didn't want to see his face and listen to whatever
