Alice sat in her well-furnished living room; everything there screamed expensive!, From the curtains down to the flower vase that is positioned on the center of the table in the room.
She twirled the glass of red wine in her hands with a little smirk as she stared at the TV screen. She was happily watching the celebrity news channel; the reporter on the screen was giving information concerning the article about Amanda West, that was released earlier in the day.
She raised her head and burst into laughter when the reporter gave a rough estimate of the percentage of loss she received due to the article. Her laughter went from a hearty laugh to an evil cackle, pushing her bonnet away from her hair; making her wavy hair that she forcefully made straight transcend down her shoulders.
After cackling for a while longer, she brought her head down and faced the screen. A smirk graced her face "glad that little bitch is finally being put in her place." She muttered ven
Maya huh? And Oliver too? I feel bad for poor Manda, now. Please give the book your review and vote with gems if you enjoy the book. Your comments are highly appreciated too.
Amanda sighed deeply as she parked her car in her garage, she picked up her bag and removed the car key. She was about to step out of her car, but tears welled up in her eyes and she frustratingly threw her bag to the passenger's seat.She expected their attack but not this fast, all she ever wanted was a peaceful life away from her disgusting, toxic and unpleasant family, but no, they always have to come in at the peak of her happiness and destroy everything.She let the tears roll down her face for a while before she harshly wiped them away, "they might have succeeded in the past to break me, but not this time around. Even if I have to sacrifice the last drop of blood in my body, I'll make sure I ruin them" she promised her self, her voice as thick as the heaviness in her heart.Reaching out for her bag, she brought out her mirror and her small makeup bag and immediately applied touches here and there to hide the fact that she just cried. She smiled at herself
"For the first activity, we'll be playing games! And the winner gets two slices of pizza all to themselves!" Alan announced through the microphone; that is still a puzzle to the others on how it got there. Everyone began clapping as soon as he made the announcement "yeah, and our first contestants are Mark and Jonathan!!" He stated in an excited voice; bouncing from one foot to the other. Malia and Amanda started clapping, while Jonathan and Mark glared at each other. "Contestants please select your gamepad" he instructed and both of them walked forward and selected their gamepads. "The game will now begin in, 3, 2, and start!" The robotic voice in the game announced this time around, and the two boys started their game. Silence and tension hung heavy in the room as everyone's eyes were fixated heavily on the TV screen that's hosting the game match. The two boys played intensely, Jonathan's eyes never leaving the TV while Mark would occasionally glare at the
Amanda looked like she was a second away from passing out; her eyes and her head hurt so bad, her muscles feels cramped and that's because she hasn't left her office since she entered it. Her eyes turned to look at the clusters of papers and documents she has just finished working on and released a very big sigh.Earlier in the morningAmanda strode into her company in a red gown, looking put together and happy as always. She could feel the gazes of her curios employees; who were wondering how she could be so happy despite what happened the previous day. She ignored their gazes and walked into the elevator, heading straight to her office floor."Good morning, Miss West" Oliver greeted her with a smile as soon as stepped onto the floor. He was dressed in a button-up shirt and black suit trousers as always, his tablet in his hand."Good morning, Mr. Roman" she responded to his greeting in a ch
Amanda rushed into her room and immediately opened her closet, leaving all her clothes in full display before her. She put her right fingers into her mouth and started chewing on them as her eyes ransacked her wardrobe; trying to find the right outfit to wear."He never said where we will be going or what we will be doing, so what on Earth am I supposed to wear?" She asked no one in particular, her frustration beginning to set in. "It can be lunch at a fancy restaurant," she said and picked out a casual red gown, "it can also be just at a fast food" she muttered, picking out a jumpsuit.She walked around and picked out a skirt and a top "it can just be a drive". She let out a deep sigh and dropped everything on the table in her room, "I'll just wear whatever, it's not like I'm going on a date or anything" she blurted out and marched off to the bathroom to freshen up.When she was done, she sat before her vanity and brought out her makeup box, she applied the moi
"We are here" Alan announced as soon as he parked the car, a big grin on his face. Amanda looked around the place in confusion before turning towards Alan, "what are we doing here?" He let out a chuckle and opened his door, stepping out and heading towards her side to open the door for her, she quirked an eyebrow at him as he opened the door, but chose not to say anything. He held her hand as she stepped out of the car, and when she was out he pulled her close to himself and shut the car behind them; a teasing smile on his face at their closeness. "And here I was thinking you were a gentleman," Amanda said as she released herself from his grip. "Oh please, I'm a gentleman" he retorted and winked at her, which she responded to with an eye roll. "Yeah right, you still haven't answered my question tho; what are we doing in a spa?" She asked for the second time and Alan sighed. "What do people do in spas? We are going to get massages, pedi
Alan packed the car carefully in his garage and then tilted his head to look at Amanda properly "I would have taken you to a restaurant, but I guessed a homemade meal will be better" he said, his eyes holding a hint of nervousness. She smiled and bobbed her head "you guessed right, I enjoyed the lasagna you made last time and I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to eat your meal again" she confessed, a shy smile plastered on her face. The look of nervousness that Alan had a while ago, disappeared with her words and was replaced with a look of pride. "In that case then, what are waiting for? Let's go" he blurted out and jumped out of the car, he was about to go open her door when he noticed she was already out of the car. "Why did you do that?" He questioned with a big scowl on his face. Amanda looked at him with fake surprise on her face, feigning ignorance "do what?" His scowl deepened when she asked the question, "never open your door by
Sitting in her office with a blank expression on her face, Morgan was about to brief Amanda about the lawsuit "I would have sent you an email, but I thought it would be better if we speak directly" she explained and Amanda gave her a quick smile, which she returned with her warm one. "Well, after submitting the case, the court sent out a notice to the website. The court hearing will be in 2 weeks if they do not reach out to us, and that's the best part because last night I got an email from the web manager asking to meet" she said excitedly. The dull look on Amanda's face immediately got replaced with a big smile, "that's good news, when did they propose we meet?" She questioned, eager to get everything settled. "They left that decision to us, so when do you propose we meet them?" Morgan asked. Amanda kept quiet for a while as she tried to come up with the perfect time to meet them, she was finally about to speak when they heard a light knock on the d
"Miss West, how does it feel to know you've finally gotten rid of the scandal, and gotten proper compensation for that?" One of the reporters asked from the clusters of reporters that were scattered around her.The paparazzi gathered around her company, over an hour ago when they got the news that Amanda was meeting up with the web manager of the website that hosted the article about her, they swarmed around her when she came down with Morgan, the web manager, and his legal team; throwing questions. after questions on her.Amanda smiled and proceeded to respond to her question, "I feel great but exhausted, it's been a long and tiring process to get my name, and my company's name cleared. I'm so glad it's all over" she responded with a big smile.She answered a few more of their questions before she managed to escape them with the help of Morgan. she heaved a sigh of relief the moment she was seated on her car seat, happy she got to evade them.Morgan chuc
