Amanda returned to Charles' house in different clothes, a nice outfit he had bought for her on their way back. She had changed in the boutique, discarding her earlier clothes. As she walked into the sitting room, she saw Kendall and the maid, completely engrossed in the loud and colorful cartoon. The vibrant sounds filled the room and none of them noticed Amanda's entrance. "Hey sweetie," Amanda called out, her voice warm and gentle. Kendall's head snapped in the direction of her mother's voice. Her eyes brightened and a huge smile spread across her face. "Mommy!" She exclaimed, jumping off the couch and running toward her. Kendall was overjoyed to see her. Although she was enjoying the company of the maid, she still wanted her mother's presence around her. Amanda knelt and spread her arms in the air. Kendall flew into her mother's arms and giggled. "Welcome back, mommy," Kendall said, her small arms wrapping around Amanda's neck. "Thank you, my love," Amanda murmured with a so

A knock came on Amanda's door, pulling her from her thoughts. She shifted her distant gaze from the ceiling to the door. She slowly sat up and a small frown etched on her face. "Who's that?" Amanda asked, squinting. "It's me, Charles," There came a reply from the other side. Amanda didn't feel like seeing or talking to anyone except her daughter. She was experiencing some emotional turmoil, and only Kendall could provide her with the innocent comfort she craved. Charles wasn't an option. He was her lawyer and had been excellent to her, but there were things that she wasn't comfortable sharing with him, especially not in her current state. "Can I come in?" Charles asked, placing another knock on the door. "Amanda?" Amanda let out a deep breath and rose to her feet. She could have just told him that she wanted to be alone, but she didn't want to seem rude. After all, this was his house. She walked to the door and unlocked it. Charles pushed it open and smiled gently at her. "I

Betty didn't bother meeting James again, she simply went to meet his mother. "What did he say?" Agnes asked, curiosity flickering in her eyes. "Is he leaving?" "I didn't speak to him," Betty responded with a sigh. She was about to tell Agnes that James was trying to get back with Amanda, but she held back. Betty wanted to handle everything on her own because her ways might be too extreme for Agnes to accept. Betty was ruthless and would do anything to have her way, she doubted if Agnes would support her in everything. "Err… I think that it would be better if you talked to him. I doubt that he would listen to me. He can't even stand the sight of me," She sighed sadly. Agnes didn't like her response or the situation, but she understood. Agnes rose to her feet and walked to her, she gently held her hands and smiled warmly. "Okay, I will talk to him and I will think of other ways to help you get closer to him. Don't worry, I'm going to make your relationship possible…I promise," A

The following days were the most stressful periods of Amanda's life. She had been trying so hard to eradicate her feelings for James, not just because Charles told her to, but for her mental health. Unfortunately, nothing she had tried worked. She had attempted doing chores, playing games, and spending time with her daughter, among others, but none of this eased her plight. "Fuck," Amanda caused, running her hands through her hair. She was lying on the bed with AirPods in her ears, but the music couldn't distract her. "This isn't working," She muttered, exasperation clear in her voice. She looked so exhausted to the extent that stray lines appeared on her forehead, her cheeks flared and her rosy lips were parched. "I can't get him out of my head!" Amanda released a scream, gripping her hair. "I can help you with that," She heard Charles' voice seep through her ears. Startled, she removed her AirPods and turned to Charles with his head peeking in between the door and its frame.

"Are these the only things you can offer?" He asked, his eyes narrowing at the cards on the table. "Hey, don't be greedy," Betty snapped, glaring at him. She crossed her legs, locking her hands on her upper knee. "There is a lot of money in these cards, and after you withdraw it, you won't have to do this fucked-up job anymore," "This is not just a job to me. It's my profession and what I've always wanted to be," He groaned, clearly displeased with her words. Betty rolled her eyes and leaned closer, her voice hardening, "Are you going to give her location or not?" "I will," He admitted, snatching the cards from the table. He pocketed them with a sly smile, "What are the pins?" "I have sent them to your number. Now that I've fulfilled my part of the bargain, I want you to do likewise," She demanded, impatience lacing her voice. "I will do that immediately," He replied, pulling out a notepad and a pen. After scribbling something, he tore out the page. "Here you go," He handed it

"James," I gasped, unable to blink or move from thd spot I stood.James had seen her from afar and that was why he stepped out of his car. When he noticed that she had seen him, he walked to her with a neutral smile.Amanda, who was frozen on the spot, wondered if he was an illusion or her thoughts had finally driven her mad.James reached her and his gaze lingered for a few moments before he spoke."Amanda," He called her name in such a way that electrified her. He had this special way of mentioning her name, making her feel like a lightening bolt had zapped through her."W-What are you doing here?" She asked, breathlessly."I came to say thank you for saving my life that day," James said, partially telling the troth. "I didn't get a chance to show my appreciation,"Amanda swallowed a lump down her throat as she watched his thin lips move so rhythmically. She couldn't help but wonder how he got more attractive with each time she saw him."How...did you find me??" She asked, gripping

Amanda's mouth felt dry and sour as she moved her tongue around. She moaned inwardly, trying to move her hands, but they refused to budge no matter how hard she tried to separate them. It was so frustrating and upsetting. As Amanda's mind began to clear, she remembered how she was pulled into a place and drugged. The memory made her eyes snap open. The light that hit her eyes was too bright, forcing her to close them again. She waited for a few seconds before opening them once more. A gasp escaped her lips when she saw a television screen in front of her.She blinked rapidly and looked around the room. She was shocked to find herself in a bedroom. Lowering her gaze, she realized she was seated on a king-sized bed with blue sheets that matched the color of the room's walls.She shifted her gaze to the left and noticed a large, well-decorated mirror, then her eyes fell on the lotions on the dressing table. The products didn't look like anything a woman would use. She squinted, trying

James pressed his lips against Amanda's skin, relishing its softness. The faint coconut scent wafted from her hair was making his heart race. There was no doubt that he was still very much in love with her, and her response only confirmed that she felt the same.As he trailed kisses down to her collarbone, her moans filled his ears like music. He lowered himself to her breast. As if he could see through her dress, he kissed the particular spot her nipple was."Hmm," Amanda moaned as her nipple hardened in her bra, becoming erect. The sensation that spread through her body was overwhelming and she struggled to contain herself.When James moved his lips to her other breast, kissing it through her clothes. Amanda felt both of her nipples stiffen and ache for his touch. She craved his warm tongue on them.Slowly, James released her waist, allowing her to fall back onto the bed. Amanda gasped as she hit the sheets, her legs lifted and spread apart. Although she couldn't believe that she wa

At the police station the next day, the police had already gotten the truth out of the man they arrested who led them to Agnes and she was also arrested and taken to jail.James was informed and he rushed down to the police station.“James, I didn't do it. I was framed. Agnes cried out immediately she saw James and tried to rush at him but the police stopped her, and they took her away to the interrogation room.Agnes sat in the interrogation room, her face downcast and emotionless. It was like she had given up and she looked so hopeless."Come on, Ma’am," one of the police officers said, his voice firm but persuasive. "We have evidence. We know you were involved in the confession the culprit had made, he even mentioned you as the one he works for. Just come clean. Confess everything and make this easier on yourself,” the policewoman in charge of the case said to Agnes.Agnes shook her head, her lips pursed. "I won't admit to anything," she said, her voice cold.“I didn't do it. Why s

Agnes was boiling when the call with Charles came to an end. She couldn't believe her ears. Everyone was suddenly on Amanda’s side. From James now to Charles. What is going on? What has she done to them to make them take her side?She paced around her room, thinking of what to do. She needed to do something before things got out of hand so she carefully thought about what to do and dialed a number."I need you to take care of someone," she said immediately a voice came on the other side of the line, her voice cold."Charles. He's becoming a problem. He wants to betray me and I can't allow him to scatter everything I have worked hard to come with. So make sure he doesn't spill even a word and you will also take care of a child that you would find with him. I will come in person tonight for further instructions,” Agnes explained.The person on the other end of the line agreed, and she hung up, a sense of satisfaction washing over her. She had taken care of the problem, and no one would

James couldn't complete his words as he went to get the door. It was Betty and she smiled at seeing him.“Hello, honey,” she happily called out to him. James barely replied to her before going back in.“Why are you here?” James asked her as he stopped with the conversation he was having with his mother earlier.“Your mom informed me you came visiting so I came to break the good news to you,” Betty said with a smile.“What are you talking about? What good news?” James asked, staring at Betty and then at his mother who went silent, enjoying her tea again.“Ohh you haven't been informed yet? Well, it is totally fine. I came to tell you that I am pregnant,” Betty dropped the bombshell.“What? Pregnant? What are you talking about? Pregnant for who?” James asked her with shock on his face.“For you James, I believe you haven't forgotten about the passionate night we spent together. This pregnancy is as a result of it,” Betty said with a triumphant smile.James's face twisted in incredulity.

Amanda happily prepared to leave with Charles. Today was day three since they came back from the remote village and she was all ready to hit the streets and go around looking for her daughter while James would start investigating her parents’ death. The past three days with James at her home had been filled with his recovery, them catching up and rebuilding their relationship and she didn't regret giving him a chance again after knowing the truth about it.“Hey. Where are you? I have been waiting?” Amanda said to Charles for the fifth time. It's been over 30 minutes since she arrived at their destination. A cafe where Charles had suggested they grabbed a bite because he was hungry and had been busy with a client since morning.He needed his strength before they set off to kindergarten and places where children were to check for Kendall.“I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. I had another client to attend to and had to sneak away before another one showed up,” Charles explained as he

James and Amanda sat in the living room, surrounded by papers and files, they hadn't had any time to waste because they needed to do a lot of investigation since they had been trapped and wasted almost a month at the remote village. James was determined to uncover the truth about Amanda’s parents’ death, deciding to focus on it after Amanda begged Charles to take up the case of looking for her daughter with her. "We need to gather as much information as possible," James said, his brow furrowed in concentration as he flipped through the papers he could gather from his home office where Amanda had mentioned she had seen the information before but they seemed not to find anything."Who were the people closest to your parents? Do you remember anyone?” James asked her after a futile result in finding anything related to the article.After James’ question, Amanda thought for a moment and she smiled when she remembered someone."There's Mr. Johnson, their old business partner. He was a cl

It all took just one more step before James and Charles finally showed up in the room where Amanda had been kept. They met Michael, the man watching Amanda with a smile on their face while she was now tied up and blindfolded.“What is going on here?” Charles yelled in anger before the police could stop him. He rushed at Michael who was the one standing nearest to Amanda and knocked him over while James rushed at the other men who were armless. Their weapons were stacked on the floor.“Who are you?” Micheal yelled at Charles who grabbed him and punched him severally in the face. Micheal tried to overpower Charles but couldn't, Charles was way stronger than him. Charles' strength showed he had served in the military and when Micheal felt that he became scared.“Are you not a policeman? Tell him to get off me,” Micheal managed to say before Charles knocked him out with his endless punch and one of the policemen grabbed Charles pulling him away from Micheal.James helped unite Amanda whil

Amanda stood there unable to believe her eyes. What will she do now that she has been tricked to come here by Micheal? She knew he would make sure she did what he wanted before she was able to leave there alive which scared the hell out of her.She tried to move back away from him while planning in her mind how to escape but he grabbed her and pushed her towards himself, his teeth clenching in his eyes as his eyes held so many warnings as if daring her to do what she had done again.Micheal's eyes glinted, dripping with malice as his face lit up with a knowing smile, and he went ahead to welcome Amanda."How does it feel to come to me like this, Princess? How does it feel for you to be trapped here with me?" he sneered, his words sending shivers down Amanda's spine.Amanda swallowed hard, her eyes narrowing as she tried to think of how she would be able to escape the dangers he was in, her mind racing with questions, especially with the questions on how Micheal showed up here."What's

Charles and James drove speeding to the next police station, their hearts racing with every step. James earnestly hoped he would find Amanda there and it shouldn't be just as Charles feared. When they got to the police station, they rushed in and immediately asked the policemen if Amanda was there.“I am sorry but who is Amanda? We have never heard such a name here nor did someone who bears it come to meet us,” the police attending to them said.“What about your fellow policemen who came to meet her, they mentioned someone filed a report in her favor because she was getting harassed and showed up at the hospital to help her,” James said mentioning the names the men had introduced themselves with but the policemen confirmed that no such name existed in their station causing fear to grip James and Charles.“Are you sure you aren't mistaken? Please ask around, you might not know who they are. Maybe they are new here,” James said in denial that the policeman won't know the acclaimed polic
