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
With a smile on her face, Amanda drove to work. The rush of excitement she felt everytime she stood up for herself was something that she savoured. And it has been a while since she felt that rush of electricity run through her body. She didn't even know his first name and he was already staring up feelings in her that she enjoyed. Amanda made a mental note to stay away from him.She swerved into the parking lot of her office, turned off the engine and walked into the building. Laura did not allow her a moment of rest. Immediately she stepped in, she walked dramatically towards Amanda. "Have you seen the papers?" Amanda found it weird that she had a creepy smile on her face. Laura was never the one to care about papers, the only time Amanda had caught her reading one of them was when they had printed a fake news about the death of Mr. Malcom, a well known drug dealer who didn't care much for his targets.Amanda moved pass her but when she sensed that she wouldn't let her off so easi
Chapter nineLooking out from the windshield, Cassidy could recognise the little boy. She jumped out of the car and got a startling response from her mother."Get back into the car. Can't you see it's pouring rain out here?"But Cassidy didn't listen instead she raced towards her mother."I know that boy. He is the same boy that I had that fight with.""Are you sure?" Amanda didn't want to believe that she would have to stay in a room with such a vile man and discuss her daughter's punishment."I'm pretty much sure I would know who I beat up."Looking around, she grabbed an umbrella from the car and with her bag in hand, she headed to the principal office.Before she opened the door, she sent a silent prayer to Heaven asking God to not allow her daughter to be correct. God must have obviously laughed at her request instead of taking it seriously because when she opened the door, the vile man was sitting with the little boy on his leg."Mrs. Wyatt, thank you for joining us." Mrs. Reyno
Chapter EightEveryday has been a reminder to Amanda that life is not picture perfect. She didn't expect it to be perfect, she just wanted it to better. She would settle for anything but worse and still, life wasn't giving that to her.She got out her phone and placed a call. The call was picked on the third ring."Hello, Mrs. Wendy? Yeah, this is Amanda Wyatt. I won't be coming into work early today. My daughter's school called and I have to attend a meeting. Mrs. Wendy are you there?"Amanda said after she didn't hear her utter a word."Well, Amanda you should have waited for a response before you started blabbing on about your problems. But why is your voice like that?"Amanda didn't want to believe that her boss could actually notice her breaking from her voice."What is it like, ma'am?'"It's hoarse. Have you been crying?"Could it be possible that her boss actually cared about her?"It's just some family issues ma'am.""Well, take care of it before you come to work. I do not nee

Chapter SevenJane woke up feeling better than she did when she fell asleep. She did not want to put too much attention to the fact that her husband left her feeling fluttered. But still her thoughts couldn't help but wonder.Does he not care about me at all? Am I not attractive to this man? Why would he leave me just like that? Was it all about the money? Of course it was, that is all he seems to care about these days. He just keeps taking and taking. He never gives and he expects that he could just trick me into giving him money like that? Wow, I really did marry a fool. The more she thought about it, the more upset she got. She thought she knew the man she married but each day he showed her sides of himself that she never thought he possessed. She knew that one day she would leave him, she just hoped that Cassidy would be okay with it. Levi wasn't looking very excited upon seeing his wife come down the stairs. He ignored her greetings and focused on his paper, trying to prevent h
It was going as planned and Jake couldn't imagine his luck. He pulled Amanda to her and hugged her. They stayed like that for what felt like days till Amanda finally decided to let go."Does this mean that you have forgiven me?" She asked with bright eyes."Yes, that is exactly what it means. Can we go to bed now?" Jake was worn out and in desperate need to close his eyes for a few. At that point, nothing else mattered. Not even a petty argument with a certain blonde woman whose face was coloured red because of how happy she must have felt to win could deter him. Amanda did not understand why Jake forgave her so easily but who was she to argue with him? At least he did. That was what mattered. She wasn't totally selfish but she also didn't care about what was going through his head at that moment. She left herself at the mercy of others. Giving them a free pass to judge her and say all that they could about her. Even if it meant bringing her down along the way. She pulled herself cl
