Amanda sits angrily in her office at work, she had been avoiding Barry since she got to the office.Amanda suddenly stood up from her chair and walked towards the door.She was about to open it when she suddenly changed her mind and went back to her seat.She had been resisting the urge to confront Barry about what he did to Lawton."I shouldn't confront him," Amanda said, as she closed her eyes."I should just bury myself in work," she continued, as she picked up a file.Amanda was angry but she couldn't let it out as she wanted everything to seem fine to Barry.Amanda then decides to ignore everyone at the office including the dirty looks from Clara and the annoying flirt from Barry.Barry sat in his office as he wondered why he had not seen Amanda all day.He then began to think if sending men to attack Lawton was a bad idea."Should I call her?" He said as he stared at his phone."What if she slaps me like the other day," he continued."I should just call her," he added.Barry the
"Thank you," Lawton said, as he collected the cup of water and drank some of it."You can go," he continued, facing the housekeeper."I'm serious about learning how to fight," Lawton added, facing Smithson."I saw the way you were looking at my men," Smithson said."I'm ready, I want to start today," Lawton said, said he stood up from the chair."Please sit young master," Smithson said."I don't think you should start now," he continued."Wait till you fully recover," He added."I'm perfectly fine," Lawton said, as he sat back down."The doctor confirmed it himself," he continued."I need to learn how to fight and defend myself," He added.Smithson understood why Lawton urgently wanted to learn how to fight but was worried as he had always seen him as a soft being.He didn't think Lawton could withstand the intense training."We should start today, I'm really serious about this," Lawton said."I do not have much time till I resume work," Lawton added."Okay young master," Smithson sai
The masseur then carefully placed the essential oils that would be used for the massage beside a table near where Lawton lay down.She then stood beside Lawton as she looked at him."I'm Temari," she said."I'm a professional masseur and a pressure point specialist," she continued."A pressure point is a specific small area of the body sensitive and suitable for therapeutic pressure," She added, as she always liked to explain her job to her client before starting the massage."Okay," Lawton said."May I start now?" She asked, gently."Yes please," Lawton answered."Please take off the bathrobe," Temari said."Okay," Lawton said, as he took off the bathrobe and laid down back with his shorts.Temari began the massage with her hands only without the oil.She began by gently massaging Lawton's back in a circular motion.She moved to his arms and shoulders and also massaged his legs too.Once Lawton's body was at ease, Temari took out scores of long pins from the table beside the massage
Lawton continued his food as he watched Smithson leave.He didn't understand what else was there to find out about his attacker.Lawton didn't like to talk about his attack as it triggers and reminds him of the incident.Lawton finished his food and called out to the maid.'The food was nice," Lawton said to the maid, as she walked towards him."Thank you," he added.The maid smiled as she carried the empty plates to the kitchen happily.Lawton then stood up from the dining room and walked into the living room where he met Smithson waiting for him.Lawton sat down on a chair beside Smithson as they both stared at each other."What did your men find out about my attacker?" Lawton said.He explained to Lawton that his men had finally been able to track the real men behind his attack."They found the men who beat you up," Smithson said."I thought you already traced them down," Lawton asked."No young master," Smithson answered."The men who gave us the information were not the ones who
Lawton looked over at the door as he finished his call with Amanda.He knew he couldn't stay long at the penthouse as he didn't want her to worry about him."I have to leave soon," he said, looking at Smithson."How do you feel?" Temari asked as she stood in front of Lawton.Smithson had informed her about Lawton's combat training which would start the next day and she wanted him to be in the best condition before then."I feel good," Lawton said."Alright, I will make you something that will help wash your system," Temari said."You do not have to do that," Lawton said, as he stood up."I have to get back home before it gets too late," he said, looking at her.Smithson stood up from where he was sitting and moved closer to talk to Lawton."Please just wait for a few more minutes," Smithson said quietly."This will not take much of your time," he continued."Temari is fast and she will be done within a few minutes," he added."Okay," Lawton said, as he checked the time.He still had a
"Is that really you mom?" Lawton asked, making sure he heard her voice correctly the first time."Yes Lawton," the voice said."It is your mom," the voice said.Lawton is elated as his house keys dropped from his hands."I can't believe it's you," he said."How are you?" He added."I'm fine Lawton," she said."I'm better now," he continued."A good Samaritan cleared all my hospital bills and paid them in advance," she added."A good Samaritan?" Lawton said."Yes, he comes to check up on me every day and brings me Japanese food that has been helping me recover better," she said.Lawton immensely knew it was Smithson as he heard his mom talk.He wondered why Smithson never mentioned going to see mother to him.He then shrugs it off as he assumes Smithson must have been trying to surprise him.With the confusion cleared up, Lawton tears up subconsciously as his mom continues to talk, it has been so long since they had last spoken to each other."I'm coming to the hospital right now Mom,"
The delivery man soon called Lawton and he walked out of the house to collect their order."Come to the dining room," Lawton said, as he walked back into the house, after collecting their order.He placed the food on the dining table and walked into the kitchen to get plates for himself and Amanda."Burger," Amanda said excitedly, as she sat down at the dining room."Yes," Lawton said, as he walked out of the kitchen and handed a plate to Amanda before sitting down beside her.At dinner, Lawton decides it’s best not to tell Amanda about his and Smithson’s plan yet.Amanda and Lawton went into their bedroom once they were done with dinner and slept.Amanda woke up before Lawton the following morning, as she had to leave early for work.She walked out of the bedroom and prepared breakfast for herself and Lawton before getting ready for work.Lawton opened his eyes to see Amanda getting ready for work."Good morning," he said, yawning."Good morning baby," Amanda said, walking towards hi
Lawton tells Smisthon he couldn't tell Amanda about the plan because he was too excited about how mother's call.Smisthon was surprised Lawton's mother called him but was happy as he could yelp Lawton was very excited about it.Smisthon knew Lawton must have a lot of questions for him as he must have figured he was a good Samaritan his mother was talking about."I know you must have a lot of questions," Smithson said as he looked at Lawton who was staring at him."Yes," Lawton said.He then asked Smithson why he didn't tell him about the bills, visits and the food he had been taking to his mom."I wanted it to be a surprise young master, " Smithson said."There has also been a lot going on lately," he continued."The attacks and all," he added.Lawton had expected that was Smithson's intention and was grateful to him."Thank you for taking care of my mother," Lawton said, smiling."It's nothing young master," Smithson said, happy to see Lawton smiling.He had finally understood Lawton
"Amanda," Lawton yelled as he repeatedly tapped her on the cheeks. Smithson who could hear their noises rushed towards where he could hear Lawton's voice to meet him. and Amanda on the floor. "What happened?" Smithson said as he saw an unconscious Amanda. "We should rush her to the hospital," he added. He then assisted Lawton in carrying Amanda and they both picked her up. They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver. "Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency. Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently. "Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said. "I found a hospital," Smithson said as he pointed towards a hospital on the other side of the road. "Drive-in," Smithson ordered. The driver immediately drove into the hospi
Peter gently placed his phone down on the table as he looked at Lawton."The papers?" Lawton asked, looking at the lawyer.The lawyer handed the papers to Lawton who placed them on Peter's table."Sign it," Lawton said gently.He then assured Peter his secret was safe with him as long as he signed the papers.Peter reluctantly picked up a pen and sighed the paper in front of him before handing it back to Lawton.Peter knew he could lose his position and his wife, losing the shares to the pharmaceutical company was a small loss compared to what was going to happen to him if his secret gets leaked.Lawton then brought out the cheque he had already written and carefully handed it to Peter.Peter gasped as he saw the amount of money in the cheque."Nice doing business with you," Lawton said, to Peter before standing up and walking out of his office with the lawyer.Amanda watched Lawton walk out of Peter's office and wondered if he was able to get Peter to sign the document."Did he sign
Lawton exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer and sat down.He then asked the lawyer if there was a way the company could be his own forever and the lawyer told him he had figured out a way."You own more than half the shares of the company," the lawyer said."It's almost impossible for him to take the company away from you but there's one thing we could do that guarantees that," the lawyer added.Lawton asked what it was and the lawyer brought out a document containing the remaining shareholders of the company.Most of them had little shares but there was a particular man who had the highest.The Lawyer then suggested they convince the man to sell his shares to them."If he sells his shares to you, you would not have to worry about anything," the lawyer said.Amanda and Lawton nodded in agreement as they both thought the idea was a good one.Smithson then informed Lawton what Barry was up to and told him they had to hurry."He rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow," Smithson said."Wha
Barry drove into his house and got out of the car.He walked inside and went straight into his room.Barry removed his clothes and took a shower before changing into a black hoodie and a mask.He had a drug deal that night but did not inform his men because he wanted to do it alone.Barry opened his safe and carefully arranged the packs of cocaine into a black bag before walking out of the room.He then got into his car and started to drive towards the venue.Barry reached the venue and saw the buyer who was already waiting for him before walking out the door.Barry looked around and saw that the buyer had no guards around him and saw this as a perfect opportunity to make more money.Barry needed a lot of money for his plan to get the company back to work.Barry moved closer to the man and they exchanged the bags in their hands.The man then started to walk back to his car when Barry suddenly turned on him and hit him with the bottom of his gun, snatching the bag of drugs he had earl
Amanda watched Lawton fight in awe as he couldn't believe he had gotten so good.She then smiled as she remembered his fight with Barry and realised his training must have helped him."You were amazing," she said, as she hugged him.She then walked back into the penthouse house with him and Smisthon as they were done training.Lawton showered as soon as they got inside the penthouse and joined Smithson and Amanda who were talking about Barry.They then all started to talk and time soon went by.It was soon seven pm.Barry was in his office thinking of how to get back at Lawton for how much he humiliated him.He had called his men who knew he was back to come meet him in his office.Barry fumed angrily as he looked at the time wondering why they had not arrived.He then heard a knock on the door and immediately knew they had arrived."Come in," Barry said.Four muscular men walked in and Barry immediately stood up and walked closer to them."Why are you late?" He asked angrily."I have
Amanda isn't surprised by this as she knew Lawton was going to say that after everything she had seen today."Where to?" Amanda asked.Lawton then told her he had just started to think about it and he had no idea.Lawton then asked her if she had any place she would like to live in mind as he had the money and could afford to buy an apartment anywhere."I have not thought of it," Amanda replied.Lawton and Amanda then spent hours deciding on where they could move to but still couldn't find a place.Amanda then suggested they get an agent who could help them find their dream home and Lawton agreed to this.Amanda and Lawton smiled as they were finally going to be free of the clutches of their landlady.Amanda asked Lawton if he was still going to go back to his job but Lawton told her he was not sure he was."We should take these upstairs," Amanda said, pointing at the shopping bags in front of Lawton."Thank you," she said, as they both shared a kiss.She then carried some of the shop
A middle-aged man was on a hospital bed typing on his laptop.It was no one but Chief Williams.He has been lying and pretending to be sick when he had been conscious the whole time.Chief Williams had been in the hospital planning several plots to attack Lawton which all later backfired.Chief Williams had just finished planning another devious attack when he suddenly heard footsteps.He then looked at the time and realised it was time for his lunch.He had lost track of time and he was about to get caught by the nurse.Chief Williams knew he could not let anyone know he was fully recovered or even close to being recovered.He needed to be at the hospital so no one would suspect him.He then quickly closed the laptop and carefully placed it under his pillow before lying down on the bed and closing his eyes.The nurse walked into Chief Williams' room and dropped the tray of food on a table beside him.The nurse then moved closer to him and started to feed him with the food she had bro
Amanda and Lawton changed into their nightwear quietly as Lawton sealed glances at her.Amanda walked out of the room as she finished and Lawton followed her.Amanda walked into the dining room and carried the food Lawton had earlier bought into the kitchen.She then microwaved it and served it on the dining table.She then asked Lawton who was sitting in the living room to come and eat as she knew he was hungry.Lawton stood up and joined her at the dining table and they both ate in silence.Amanda and Lawton soon finished eating and packed the plates into the kitchen together.Amanda washed the dishes in silence with Lawton who assisted her.Amanda walked out of the kitchen as she was done with the dishes and Lawton ran after her."Babe," he said, holding her."I know you are still upset," he continued."Please let's talk about this, I don't like it when you are mad at me," he added.Amanda then nodded her head in agreement and they both walked into the living room together.Amanda
Madame Willams's chef had prepared dessert as planned.She walked into the living room and informed Madame Williams who did not know what to say to her.Everything had turned upside down and Madame Williams knew nobody would want to have dessert."Don't serve dessert," Madame Williams said."Just go!" she added.Barry and his parents were still on their knees and this was not how Madame Williams pictured the meeting was going to go.Madame Williams continued to apologise to Lawton until he had no choice but to forgive them because of Amanda.He knew Amanda hated what was happening and was uncomfortable."It's fine," Lawton said."You can go," he added.Madame Clarissa then asked him if he was going to fire Barry and Lawton assured her he wasn't.Lady Clarissa stood up with her husband and Barry and walked out of the house in shame.Amanda had been quiet as Lawton had asked her not to interfere.Madame Willams who had been feeling guilty walked up to Lawton and Amanda and asked if they
