The doctor left before Jake could ask him any other questions. The last thing he said was that Jake should sort out the bill at the counter before he left. As soon as he left, the dark cloud in the room lifted and Amanda's body slowly went back to its normal temperature. Jake was torn between pushing to find out what his wife was hiding and living his normal life, pretending that nothing was wrong. If he went on to find out what his wife was hiding, he risked losing his sanity. Some things were better left unknown to him, so he ignored his instincts and acted like all was well."Babe, what are you thinking about?" He heard Amanda ask him. What was the point of talking to her when all he would get as a response were lies? He looked at her and by God, he wanted to tell her everything. He wanted to ask her everything and tell her about his fears but he knew that he was walking on eggshells with her and it would be a very terrible mistake if he started telling her all that he had to say.
Of course she lied. What else did he expect from her? He couldn't believe anything the woman ever said and he knew that but still, he always gave her the benefit of the doubt and he knew that he was going to do the same thing again. It wouldn't take that long before he would forgive her without her even realizing that he knew she did something terrible. It was the order of the day at all times. He couldn't help but wonder why she would lie though. What did she do that made her lie and how did the doctor get to find out about it? He was curious to have answers to his questions. The problem was how he was going to do it. Jake looked at Sebastian as if the young man would have an answer to the question in his head. He couldn't confide in him though. He was not that stupid. Sebastian already disliked Amanda. If he was to find out about it, he would completely hate her. So he kept his thoughts to himself.Sebastian saw him stealing gazes at him from time to time and wondered what the probl
It didn't take them long to sort out the bill at the counter. The bill wasn't as expensive as Jake had thought that it would be and Amanda was happy that Jake could at least take care of the bills. She had believed that she would have to call her parents to help them. It would have been the biggest embarrassment given to her. She had already told her mom that Jake was a big man who could take care of himself and her without getting anything from them any longer. It would be a slap across the face if she had to put a call through to them to help her with her hospital bills. She sat on one of the waiting chairs comfortably and watched as her husband took care of the bills. She didn't believe that it was possible but she was happy that she would get to enjoy her husband and his money. Finally, she was winning.Jake turned to look at his wife as he waited for the woman behind the counter to sort out the problem she said she was having. He could see the admiration in her eyes. He knew that
Jake didn't take anything that she said to heart and he heard her soft footsteps following him as he walked away. He wasn't going to apologize and neither was she. So they both sat down and watched each other as the car drove them to their apartment. Jake had a lot on his mind and apparently, so did Amanda. None wanted to admit to being wrong and none would allow the choices they made to affect their mood. Jake didn't know when he started acting like them. He didn't know when Amanda's character influenced him and made him act like her but he knew one thing, it had to change. He had to stop being so angry all the time and he wasn't going to achieve that by acting like the one person that pissed him off. He looked at Amanda whose gaze was focused on the numerous buildings that the other side world presented and he wanted to apologize till he saw from the mirror that she was smiling. What could be tickling her fancy? Was she happy that he was angry at her? Could that be the cause of her
The saying no place is like home was so true. Jake let out an air of relief when he got back to his place. He had missed the environment so much and finally, he got to be there and the best part that made a huge smile appear on his face was that he was with his darling wife. They had been through so much together but they were finally together again. Nothing could make him happier. He could see the smile on her face and he knew that she was as happy as she was. Nothing could take their happiness away. He took her hand in his and together they walked into their home. Amanda cared so much for the sophisticated appearance of the house and she never hid it."You know I am so happy that you got this place. It is really beautiful and desirable." She kept saying as the elevator lifted them up to his penthouse. He knew that she loved the place and the more she said it, the more he was sure that she was may not want to get a job because of the place."I hope you will be able to leave this plac
It was electrifying and Jake didn't want the kiss to stop but he had to put a stop to it when it started to stir up feelings in him. Her lips were as soft as he could remember but the way she kissed was different. She kissed with an urgency, with fire and with emotions. The thought of her learning that somewhere else provoked him and he let go of her. He couldn't even look into her eyes after it. He couldn't stand to listen to her lies about who taught her and where she truly learnt how to kiss like that from. Amanda's hands, soft hands ran through the back of his body and he shuddered at it. Just because she may have been cheating on him didn't mean that he didn't want her to still be with him. The love he had for her was too toxic.He moved away from her, from her touch and tried to focus his mind on something other than what she had been doing with herself for a long time. He found out that it was super difficult for him to do that. Especially when she was in the room and acting li
She didn't know what to say. She could even say anything cause she knew that whatever she said would be sued hugely against her. She knew that it would mean her downfall. She moved away from him and he followed her. He needed to know what was going on in her mind. He needed to know what changed and most importantly who made it change. "Can you at least give me some breathing space?" She asked when she noticed that he clinged to her like a moth to a flame. "I will leave after you answer my question. What changed Amanda?""I don't know, okay. Isn't that what you want me to say? I don't know what changed. I stayed away from you for a while and that must have affected the way I love people.""That doesn't make any sense to me and I'm sure it doesn't to you either.

Whenever she wanted to lie she would say things that doesn't have any meaning. It gave her the time she needed to be able to come up with a better lie. She was that crafty and unfortunately, that char
