After Amanda and Gabriel finished eating, Gabriel grabbed her hand and they walked to the living room together.Amanda sat on the couch with Gabriel beside her, looking at him to start the conversation about why Camilla, Amanda's step sister, was calling him."Hmmm," Gabriel sighed, rubbing his hands together as he stared at Amanda." Do you remember telling you that I was going to Germany for business training three years ago?" Gabriel asked with narrowed eyes." Yes, I think I remember. You told me on my graduation night." Amanda said, tugging on her ear."Yes. I was gone for like a month." Gabriel said and continued." After I came back, I tried calling you several times but your number was not. I even visited your parents' apartment but I did not get a positive response. But I noticed your stepmother was acting as if she knew what happened to you."" Sp that fateful afternoon, I was…"FLASHBACKAfter Amanda left Texas with Juliet, Gabriel was in his office one afternoon when a sof

FLASHBACK CONTINUES After six months of Mattew Smith, Amanda's father marrying Sonia and bringing her home alongside Camilla.Amanda was sent on an errand that fateful day. Immediately she got back, she met her stepmom and sister sitting in the living room with anger on their faces. Her dad was present too. She wondered what was amiss that made them have such looks on their faces."Hey! Where is the money you stole from Dad's closet?" Camilla asked immediately."Which money?" Amanda asked with surprise. She looked at them, they had a murderous stare on their faces for her.She looked at her dad, who was also looking at her with a bad expression."I didn't steal from your closet dad. You know I would never do it," Amanda said but her father wasn't listening. He pounced on her and started beating her up, requesting she returns the money.Camilla and her mother laughed at her in return, they knew they had wrongly accused her so she would be beaten up by her father and they didn't care.

Amanda sat quietly alone in her room as she reflected upon everything that had happened in her life. Life hadn't been easy for her but she had managed to pull through with the help of people she met and her own will to survive.She thought about how Juilet had been a great help in her life ever since she left home. She felt bad about how her relationship with Juliet ended up after what she did.She only acted the way anyone would, watching your best friend betray and take over your fiance wasn't what anyone would celebrate or be happy about. The worst was that she wasn't remorseful.They weren't, even Kelvin wasn't. She wondered why he is coming back now to beg her when he had acted like she didn't matter that day she left them.Amanda sighed and turned to the other side of the bed she was laying on. She couldn't even sleep because she was very restless and disturbed. She had to do something regarding her relationship with Juliet. She stretched and picked up her phone from the light s

Eric was working on some files in his office when his Assistant walked in. He stood before his desk but he signaled him to wait for some minutes so he would conclude what he was working on.After about two minutes, Eric looked up and gestured to his Assistant that he can tell him about whatever he came for."I brought a document containing everything you need to know about the doctor and how to contact him as you have requested," his Assistant said and dropped a brown file before looking up at Eric."You may leave," Eric said when he glanced at the brown file before concentrating on what he was doing."I came with some other documents for review and approval. After going through them, message me so I would come to pick them, up," his assistant said and dropped Another document."Okay," Eric replied, not bothering to look up. His Assistant bowed and started heading out of his office.He stopped him and called him back."Can you get me a cup of coffee?" He requested."What type of coffe

Amanda woke up early because she had an appointment at the hospital with Bella. When was preparing to leave when Anna's call came in. She picked it up to know why Anna was calling her in the morning."Hey, can we briefly meet?" Anna asked over with a rather exciting voice."Why? Don't you have part time jobs to do today? Ain't you going to sell in the coffee cafe you usually work in the day today?" Amanda asked Anna. She was surprised that Anna fixed up a meeting with her in the morning when she was supposed to be at her other job."I want us to meet because it's urgent, please," Anna said as she wished in her heart that Amanda should agree.Anna was calling her because of Mr. Bryan. She had already promised him to reach out to Amanda and convinced her to meet up with him. So she had to keep to her promise, she had already taken money for it."I'm busy, I have somewhere important to go, can't you fix up another day?" Amanda asked and packed up everything she would be needing for the t
