“Yes. Father just wanted to discuss something.” He replied.

David had remained near the study entrance. He glanced at Amanda again before returning to his newspaper. Raymond sat beside her.

“Mother will have something brought up for you. You can rest after eating.”

“I don't want to disturb your family.”

“You aren't disturbing anyone.”

His mother stood up. “I'll check on the food. Raymond, show Amanda the guest room when she's ready.”

“I will.”

Once she had left the room, Amanda leaned slightly

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   Gratitude

    Elena slowly lowered herself into her chair. She looked at the food, the decorations and the guests who had come to celebrate with her that have not finished enjoying the event. Her eyes filled with disappointment. “What a terrible evening,” she whispered. Raymond moved towards her. “I'm sorry, Mum.” She reached for his hand. “It's not your fault.” David remained standing beside the table. His attention had shifted to the glass, and he stared at it as though he could no longer understand how close he had come to drinking from it. Amanda quietly stepped back. She didn't want to draw attention to herself. She had done what she needed to do, and now the family had to deal with what had happened but David turned towards her. “Amanda.” She stopped. “Yes, sir?” He looked at her for a moment. The sternness in his face had softened, replaced by something Amanda hadn't expected to see. “Come here, please.” Amanda approached cautiously. David glanced at the phone on the table before retu

    Emma's expression hardened as David continued staring at the phone. "Say something!" he demanded.Emma folded her arms. "What exactly do you want me to say?"A stunned silence followed. David slowly lowered the phone. "You put something in my drink?""Yes, I did."Elena gasped. Raymond stared at Emma as though he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Amanda remained still, her phone firmly held in her hand. David's face turned red. "Do you understand what you've done?" "Of course I understand!" Emma snapped. "Do you think I'm stupid?" "Emma!" her mother cried. "No, Mum! I'm tired of pretending everything is fine. I'm tired of everyone making decisions about my life as if I have no say in it!" David took a step towards her. "You tried to poison me!" "And why do you think I did that?" Emma shot back. "How many times have you and my father discussed this marriage? How many times have you reminded him about it? Every time our families meet, it's the same conversation. Raymond this

    Amanda's eyes narrowed. “I didn't spill that wine deliberately, and you know that. But this is different.” “Different how?” “Watch the video.” She said firmly. Emma shook her head. “You keep saying that. What video? What exactly did you record?” Amanda did not answer immediately. She could see Emma trying to regain control of the situation. The woman was speaking loudly enough for the nearby guests to hear, but she had not yet made any attempt to look at the drink itself. That only made Amanda more determined to show the recording. Raymond moved closer to her. “Give me your phone,” he said quietly. “Let me see it first.”Amanda looked at him. She appreciated that he was trying to help, but she shook her head. “No. I want your father to see it.”“Are you sure?” He asked.“Yes.”Raymond studied her face for another moment. He could see that she was frightened, but there was also a firmness in her expression that made him understand she wasn't going to back down.He turned towards h

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   The Video

    Every conversation around the table died instantly. David froze with the glass close to his lips. His eyes shifted towards Amanda, his expression changing from confusion to irritation. For a moment, he seemed unable to believe she had just interrupted him in front of everyone.“What is the meaning of this?” he demanded.Emma turned sharply. Her pleasant smile disappeared, and for the briefest moment, her face revealed something Amanda had not seen before. It was not simply surprise. There was a flash of alarm in her eyes before she quickly composed herself.Raymond's head snapped in their direction. He immediately stopped speaking to the older guest and began moving towards the table, his attention fixed on Amanda. Elena stood up from her chair, confused. “Amanda? What happened?”Nobody seemed to understand why Amanda had shouted. Several guests stared at her, while the man seated beside David slowly lowered his own glass. The music continued playing, but nobody appeared interested in

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   Attempted Murder

    Amanda's first instinct was to step forward and demand an explanation. However, she stopped herself before moving. If Emma had deliberately put something dangerous into the drink, a careless confrontation could give her an opportunity to deny everything. Amanda watched Emma's hands. The woman was holding the glass steadily, almost as if she were carrying an ordinary drink prepared for a guest. Nothing about her expression suggested that she had just done something suspicious.Emma picked up the glass and examined it once more. She seemed satisfied with whatever she had done, then turned towards the dining area.Amanda continued recording. She waited until Emma had moved a few steps away before following her. She kept enough distance between them to avoid attracting attention, but not so much that she would lose sight of the glass.The guests were occupied with their conversations. Some were laughing near the garden, while others were taking photographs with Elena. Nobody appeared to

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   What Is She Doing?

    Raymond excused himself to greet an older family friend who had just arrived. Amanda remained near the seating area, watching the celebration and occasionally exchanging polite greetings with people who approached her.The party was still lively, with soft music playing in the background and guests moving between the dining area and the garden. Waiters carried trays of drinks while Elena's friends gathered around her, taking photographs and exchanging birthday wishes.Across the room, Emma stood beside her parents. She noticed Raymond returning with Amanda, and her eyes followed them briefly before she turned towards the woman speaking beside her. Her expression remained pleasant, giving nothing away.Amanda watched Raymond disappear into a small group of guests. She was beginning to feel uncomfortable standing alone, especially after the earlier embarrassment with David. Although Raymond had defended her, she could still remember the unpleasant looks some guests had given her.She di
