"Oh my God! Daddy, you bought us a car!" Amanda's screams were deafening. Her screams made her parents not pay attention to the horrid look on Jake's face. He couldn't believe that his parents-in-law could ever be so generous. He immediately knew that they were up to something and it was left to him to figure out what it was. Mr Cash even called him, 'son'. Something was definitely wrong and he needed to know what it was. He could never trust their family, they had put him through so much and now, it was quite impossible to believe any word that came out of their mouths. "Jake," Amanda called him, bringing him out of his thoughts. She saw the look on his face and understood it perfectly. She knew that he was sceptical about their relationship. He was sceptical about what her parents wanted and he had every reason to be but she also had every reason to be upset that he was not so appreciative of the gift her parents gave to them."Yes." He answered absentmindedly."You have been stand

Jake arrived just in time to meet Madam Enola watering her lawn. The driver drove through the first gate which only opened with a key card and after a few minutes, they drove into the main compound. The drive-through was in a garden form and the entire place looked deserted but also well taken care of. Immediately they got into the main compound, Jake first noticed the woman dressed in gardener clothes and watering her flowers but the air around her didn't say,m, 'hi, I'm the gardener here'. "That's Madam Enola. She prefers everyone to call her Enola." The driver said and turned into the drive-through and packed the car. He then unlocked it and Jake came down. The air in the compound was chilly, more chilly than it was outside. He didn't have the nerve to ask the driver who seemed to know so much about the house and everyone in it. "Enola," the driver called out when they reached the woman who was dressed like a gardener. The woman finally lifted her face and it was a beautiful sigh

Due to the intensity of the sun, the weather was too warm and Jake was not looking forward to the argument that will begin if he went home immediately. He groaned as he hated the idea of having to fight with Amanda again. He knew that he wasn't going to sweet talk his way as he did before. Of late, he has been rude to the young lady and both parties have noticed it but Amanda couldn't do anything about it because Jake had made her believe that she deserved everything she was getting. But in truth, she didn't deserve such bad and heartbreaking statements. Still, he wasn't mentally ready for the drama. Even though his day was stressful, the sores that he felt around his ankle proved that he was quite tired. He picked up his phone and put a call through to Sebastian. Seeing Enola's house has motivated him to work harder to be able to afford the kind of lifestyle he wanted. He had the opportunity to do that and he wasn't going to waste it."Jake, I wasn't expecting to hear from you," Seb

"Amanda!" He screamed as he walked inside. He got no response. Jake took off his shoes at the entrance of the house and sighed. He knew that Amanda was just trying to play hard to get with him but what she didn't know was that he wasn't in the mood for her melodrama. He was tired and had to rest before he had to go meet the guys at the bar. Jake smiled as the thought came to him. He was meeting with his guys for a drink. It had been a long time since he said such words. He had to take a minute to let it sink in. After a minute of thinking, he scoffed and went back to looking for his wife. She had to be in the house somewhere and if by any chance, she wasn't in the house. If she left again without telling him, he will not accept her again when she came back. He had made up his mind on that. "Amanda!" He screamed again and this time he decided to check his environment. He checked his kitchen and then the room he graciously allocated to her. Amanda was nowhere to be found. He went into

Jake couldn't feel the cool breeze anymore, his entire body was hot and his bones were burning. He needed to find Amanda. He couldn't allow anything to happen to her under his care. Her parents will then kill her slowly and they would be justified this time. He hailed a cab and rushed inside the car. The incessant shouting his friends gave fell on deaf ears as Jake had just one goal in mind. To get to his home and look for his wife. "Jake!" Sebastian continued to scream."Let it be. Just get in and let's follow him." They took a while in getting to him because they had to pay the bills but as soon as they were done, Jake was already stepping into a cab. Sebastian drove at speed to meet up with the pace of the man who was driving him. He couldn't understand why he was going through such stress. Amanda was fine, there was even a possibility that she was playing him like she always did. But Jake would never listen to anybody when it comes to her. "He always does this!" Sebastian compla
