The leader of the other gang opened his box and smiled as he brought out one of the sealed white powder and sniffed it.The content of the box Barry had given the gang was hard drugs.Barry trades hard drugs as a side hustle, he started the business two years ago when he was in desperate need of funding for his business.Barry did not want to ask his family for money and this led him to the illegal business.He used the money he got from the deal to fund his business and although his company had grown so much and he didn't need the money anymore, he still continued as it was now a hobby to him."Nice doing business with you Black," the gang leader said as he walked up to Barry, pleased with the deal.Black was Barry's nickname as he does not review his face or real name whenever he makes deals.Barry had been making deals with the gang leader for months now and they were now pretty carefree with each other.Barry finished counting the bundle of money in the box and passed it over to o
Barry thought about Amanda as he sipped his drink.His mood suddenly changed as he thought of her.He wondered why it was so hard for her to leave Lawton and be with him."She's pushing me to do this," he said to himself."I don't want to hurt Lawton but I do not have a choice," he added, before gulping down his remaining drink.Barry walked into his room and laid down on his bed and soon fell asleep.Morning soon came, and Lawton and Amanda woke up to go to work.Amanda was still worried about Lawton's reaction yesterday and decided to keep a distance from Logan as Lawton's reaction always changes as soon as she mentions him."Good morning," Amanda said as she stood up from the bed."Good morning,' Lawton said, looking at her.He could tell she was upset by something but didn't know what."Are you okay?" Lawton said, as he stood up and walked up to her."I'm fine," Amanda said, looking away from him."You are not," Lawton said, looking at her."Please talk to me," he said."I think w
Unknown to Lawton, the bus that had pulled up in front of him was the gang leader's boss.The driver and the passenger of the bus were all members of the gang leader.Lawton looked around the bus and could tell something wasn't right as all the passengers were men and they all looked weird.Lawton started to feel uncomfortable as all the passengers stared at him.He then decided to get out of the bus."Please stop the car," Lawton said."I want to get down," he added.The driver ignored Lawton and this made Lawton scared.After a few weird exchanges between Lawton and the passengers, the bus suddenly stops at the side of the road and the passengers pounced on Lawton."Why are you all doing this?" Lawton yelled as they continued to punch him.He was defenseless and there was nothing he could do but shout as the men continued to beat him up.Lawton was beaten up so badly, that his eyes started to get blurry."It's okay," the driver of the boss stated firmly, as he looked back at Lawton.
"He's being attended to," the man said."Please take me to him," Amanda said.They then both walked towards a hospital room but were stopped as they were about to enter."Please wait here," a nurse said."You can't enter until the doctor is done attending to him," the nurse continued."You can sit here," she added, pointing towards a chair.The man sat down on the chair while Amanda continued to pace around.The doctor soon walked out of Lawton's room and Amanda immediately rushed towards him."How is my husband?" Amanda said."Is he fine?" She continued."He's fine," the doctor said."He was beaten up badly but he didn't suffer from any internal bleeding," he continued."We just treated his wound, he only needs to rest a bit," the doctor added."Thank you, doctor," Amanda said, sighing in relief."Please come with me, I need to have a word with you in my office," the doctor said."Ok doctor," Amanda said, as she followed him.The doctor and Amanda walked into his office together."Si
Amanda suddenly remembered how she left the office in an hurry and dialed Barry's number."I'm sorry I left in a hurry," Amanda said, as he picked up the call."I had to urgently attend to something," Amanda added."How is he?" Barry said.It was at that moment that Amanda realized Barry was infact the one behind Lawton's attack."How did you know about what happened to Lawton?" Amanda said.Barry lied about hearing it from one of his friends but Amanda could tell he was not speaking the truth."Bye," Amanda said, as she hung up the call.She had had enough of Barry, she couldn't believe he could attack Lawton again after how she slapped him the last.Amanda walked into Lawton's hospital room to see Lawton sitting up.She was happy he was finally able to sit up by himself as she sat beside him on the hospital bed.Amanda brought out the food she had bought for the both of them and fed some to Lawton."Thank you," Lawton said, as he looked at her.He could tell she was sad as Amanda lo
Amanda thought about how Smithson found out about Lawton being hurt as she walked to the doctor's office."Lawton must have texted him," she said, herself.Amanda knocked on the door to the doctor's office as she got there."Come in," the doctor said.Amanda walked inside and sat down on a chair in front of the doctor.She apologized for leaving in a hurry earlier as she looked at him."I couldn't wait to see him," she said."It's okay ma'am," the doctor said."I was just worried about him," he added.The doctor then informed Amanda that the results of all the tests they did on Lawton came out negative."We have confirmed he is fine and he will be discharged tomorrow," He said."That is great news," Amanda said, excitedly."Thank you, doctor," She said."I came to ask about the bill, I talked to the nurse earlier and I think she forgot to send it to Lawton's room," Amanda added."Give me a minute," the doctor said as he called the nurse on duty.He asked her to bring the bill to his o
A knock on the hospital door woke Amanda and Lawton up in the morning."Come in," Amanda said, as she stood up from the bed.A nurse walked into the room and walked towards Lawton's bed."Good morning," she said, facing Amanda."Good morning nurse," Amanda said, sitting down.She then checked on him and treated some of his wounds."You are free to go," the nurse said."You have been discharged," she added."Thank you, nurse," Amanda said, smiling as the nurse walked out of the room."I didn't know I was going to get discharged so fast," Lawton said excitedly, looking at Amanda."The doctor told me about it yesterday," Amanda said."I forgot to tell you," she added, as she stood up.She then told Lawton she was going to go to the reception before going out of the room.Amanda sorted out the hospital bills and went outside of the hospital to call a cab before going back to Lawton's room.She assisted him and they both walked out of the hospital room happily.Amanda thanked the nurses at
Lawton noticed Amanda couldn't concentrate as they continued to watch the movie."Do you have something else to say?" Lawton said, as he carefully removed her head from his shoulders."I don't know if I should quit working with Barry," Amanda said."No," Lawton said."I can't let you quit such a good job because of this," he continued."I know you are not comfortable there but I promise I will sort out everything," he added.Lawton needed Barry to think everything was okay so he could get back at him."Do not worry about anything at all," he said."I will take care of all of it," he added."Okay," Amanda said, as they both continued their movie.She didn't understand how Lawton was going to take care of it and decided to ask him."What are you planning?" Amanda asked."I haven't thought of anything yet but I will figure it out," Lawton said.They soon finished their movie and walked into their room to sleep as Amanda had to go to work the next day.Amanda slept peacefully as she was h
