Chapter twentyMrs. Wendy looked skeptical about allowing Amanda to work. She sensed the woman was going through some things that she didn't want to talk about and she wouldn't budge her. She knew that look on her face all too well, she needed an escape. And if working and making her company grow was the way she chose to escape, who was her to stop it."Sure. You can work here today."She saw the look of relief on her face and was guaranteeed that the woman was running away from something or someone. Amanda turned around and headed to her cubicle. She prepared her slides and to-do list and started the work for the day.Jake was an earlier riser. He had a policy, if you wake up late you will arrive at your destination late. His father, bless his memory, raised him to be disciplined in his ways and Jake did not deter from his teachings. It was the weekend and he usually gives his staffs the weekend off. He didn't want them over working themselves and besides, he needed the peace and

Chapter nineteenThey drive to Claire's house was a quite one. Just two women sitting in a car and breathing. Amanda knew that her secrets were out in the open now. She couldn't lie to her daughter anymore. Nothing she says will convince her that her father didn't hate her.She wanted to have a conversation with her about it, something her mother never did. But she was too tired and she honestly didn't know what to say.Now she understood why her mother never did.But unlike Amanda, Cassidy wasn't afraid to discuss about uncomfortable things."Has it always been like that? And don't lie to me mommy!"She turned her head to look at their daughter, she wasn't going to lie no matter how much she wanted to."I'm not going to lie to you babe. It hasn't always been like this. There was a time when your father worshipped the very ground I walked upon.""So what happened?""Life happened my love, life happened. He lost his job and that stared up something in him. Something I was too blinded

Chapter SeventeenTen minutes seemed like more than enough time for Amanda to arrive at Laura's house.She lived with her mother. The woman had lost her husband two years back and Laura felt like she didn't need to be alone. So she packed out of her one room apartment and moved back in with her mother."Bye guys." Laura shouted out as she closed the door."Bye aunty Laura." In between bites, Cassidy was still able to respond to the greeting."How are you doing over there baby girl?" Amanda asked as she looked at her daughter from the driver's window."I'm doing okay mom. This cake is delicious. It's the best I've ever had.""Well, he did say that you were going to enjoy it. I guess he wasn't lying.""How did you meet him again?"Amanda decided that it was best if her daughter didn't know everything that had happened."He came to me. Yeah, he came to apologize and he brought the gift.""Well, he is a very nice man then. I think I like him."You and me both Cass, you and me both.Amanda

Chapter sixteen"Hold it right there!" Amanda sighed as she turned to see Laura walking up to her. "You thought you could get rid of me. Not so easy, darling.""Laura, I need to go pick Cassidy up and I'm going to be late.""Good. My house isn't far from her school." Amanda knew that she couldn't get out of having this conversation with her. So she just watched as she climbed into her front seat."So tell me everything that happened."She wasn't sure she was ready to talk about how he flirted with her and how she hasn't been the first one to receive such treatment from him. But most of all, she wasn't prepared to admit that she liked it. It has been a long time since someone had found her interesting. It has been a while since she has gone on a lunch date. She is always the one giving, she has never been on the receiving end before. It felt weird but very good. And she wasn't ready to admit that she loved the attention he showered on her today and she even hoped that he wouldn't s

Chapter fifteenIt did not look like your regular chocolate cake. It gladden Amanda's heart to know that it was a foreign delicacy. She never went out much, only stayed at home cooking foods that she was tired of eating. It was the same old thing everyday. Now that she saw a new delicacy, she decided to savour every moment of its taste on her lips.She took her fork and cut herself a slice of it. The cake tasted so creamy and crunchy, Amanda didn't know when she moaned."Hmmm, oh my God."The sound resonated to Jake's loins and he felt a shiver run down his spine."Imagine the sound you'll make when I lick that off you."Say something.Say.Something.Her mind screamed the command but her lips refused to open.Amanda came to a halt. She lifted her face to look at Jake who licked the cream of the cake off his lips in a slow manner that Amanda followed lustfully. Jake saw the look in her eyes and he wanted nothing more than to go to her and kiss her till they were both breathless, but

Chapter fourteenItalian wines were always good for apologies. It's what Jake used whenever he had wrong a person. The fact that he used something cliché with her didn't sit well with him. She was different, special, calm and Jake wanted nothing more than to get to know her.She twirled that drink in her hand like an old mafia leader. Maybe she was one. That would explain her fiesty nature. But she couldn't have been, after all, she had a daughter and the principal wasn't that scared of her.Jake followed her movements as she looked at her phone and stood up to leave."Ah, where are you going?" He didn't want her gone just yet. He hadn't gotten the opportunity to know her fully. If he could have his way, she would be sitting there talking all day."I have to get back to work." Amanda said as she started putting things into her bag."But lunch break isn't over yet." This man knew almost everything. That made Amanda feel uncomfortable. She had just forgiven him for insulting her and n

Chapter ThirteenThe audacity of this man! How dare he order my meal for me? Does he think that I can't make decisions for myself. He must see women as weak and indecisive.Jake looked at Amanda with admiration. It has been a long time since he last saw this fire in somebody's eyes. All the women that hang around him are submissive and gentle, probably because they read somewhere that a domineering men needs their women to be submissive. They didn't know that Jake was not your typical man. He wanted the fire, the drama, the long arguments, he wanted to be burnt. And Amanda offered him a smoke with fire. And he was totally engulfed."It's not about the oysters. It's about the fact that you would order for me? Do you think that I can't decide for myself what to eat?""Well, I didn't know it was going to upset you so. If I did, I would have ordered your dessert as well." He was enjoying every moment of taunting her and she gave him the kind of response that he wanted. More fire."You ar

Chapter TwelvePeople find peace in a lot of things. Amanda found hers in looking out at the town and breathing in the smell of leather seats. She didn't hate the town anymore. If anything, she began to like it. Apparently, her anger only came when she was the one behind the driver's seat. She has never been a passenger in a luxurious car before, only in bus. Now she could understand why people always scrambled to be rich. She knew this was a taste of what it meant to be rich and she wanted to taste more. Tom stopped them at a restaurant that Amanda could only admire from a distance.The restaurant was made of wood, she supposed but stepping out of the car she believed it to be made of glass. The shimmering radiance of the building could lure anybody to want to know what was inside."I'll be waiting for you ma." Tom said as he closed the door behind her and tipped his hat.She thought that the kind man may usher her inside to meet her doom but she didn't want to inconvenience him t

Chapter ElevenJake twirled his phone in his hand as he stared into space. Never in his busy life as he seen a woman that is so deliberate and compelling. And he has seen a lot of girls.Jake had the kind of life that kept girls coming to his doorstep just to take off their top and watch him admire them. All of them had been lovely and sweet but none of them had the spice he craved. He was starting to believe that no woman had it.It pleased him to know that he would be proven wrong. He was sure that the girl must have heard of him or known who he was by now. Even if she didn't, she was going to find out.A knock on the door distracted him from his thoughts and wiped the smile off his face. He didn't care to answer, he just turned his chair to face the door and whoever was about to come in.It was his secretary. A plump woman. She had the kind of figure that would make any man's head to turn twice. Jake didn't like to associate with ugly people, even his maid was a sight to behold.Th
