Amanda slowly opened her eyes with a beautiful smile gracing her face, she stretched out her hands to touch Alan but she only felt the warmness of the sheet and a sigh left her lips knowing he just got up. She stood up and stretched lightly as she did, her smile widened even more when she heard him laughing downstairs with their child.
She couldn't believe how much the years have passed and how things have changed, little teardrops made way to her face as she remembered how much her life has changed within 5 years.
*~ 5 years ago ~*
*The moment she got to Morgan's law firm, she parked hurriedly and stepped out of the car ready to run to her office but met her standing by the firm's door with a huge file on her hand and beside her stood a worried Alan, who kept darting his eyes around searching for something or rather someone because the moment he set eyes on her, she could see the relief wash through his face.*This is dedicated to my readers, who have dedicated read this book to the very end.

Amanda woke up with a solemn look on her face, today doesn't feel any different from any other day. she looked around the room and let out a sigh, the blue paints of the wall was peeling off, the ceiling has holes in them and they always wish the rainy season never happens because the room turns into a pool whenever it rains. Her eyes wandered to the torn and old wrapper they use as a curtain, then to the door that was covered by a flimsy curtain that has holes in it. Her two elder siblings laid beside her on the floor, clutching onto the piece of clothing covering them like it was their last hope, she looked to her left and saw her 2 years old brother laying beside her. She took a deep breath and decided to enjoy the few moments of peace she had left before her daily activities, but it didn't last long because her parents started shouting the next moment. She heard them breaking the remaining properties they had left and tears welled up in her eyes, her prob
Amanda West walked out of the elevator and started heading to the conference room, dressed in a black tight-fitting dress showing off her lovely figure, her curly brown hair left to flow freely on her shoulders, a light make-up on her face defining her facial features more. A pleasant smile graced her face, adding to her beauty. "Good morning Miss West" Her secretary; Oliver Romans, greeted. Walking beside her with a tablet in his hand and a small smile on his face. Amanda turned towards him for a brief second with a smile on her face, her eyes roaming around her secretary's handsome face "Morning Oliver, slept well?" She asked. "Of course and judging by the smile on your face, guess you did too" "Yes," she said curtly "I believe everyone is in the conference room already, right?" Oliver nodded his head "Yes, they all assembled five minutes ago" "Good," she sai
Amanda took the contract and read it once again before putting it back into the envelope and dumping it inside one of the drawers. She picked up the office phone and called Oliver in, within a few seconds a light knock came on the door and a smiley Oliver walked in, excited to hear the reason for Alan Wesley's visit. "Yes, Miss West?" He called out in a low voice when he noticed the look on Amanda's face. isn't she meant to be all smiley?he thought, his eyes fixed on her face. "Yeah, Oliver, I need you to find this man," she said and moved the picture closer to him, Oliver picked up the picture and after gazing at it for a while, he looked up at Amanda with furrowed eyebrows "Andrew West, my brother" she stated, confirming Oliver's suspicion. He opened his mouth to ask questions, like why would she be looking for her brother but the look on Amanda's face shut him up "Ye
Alan twirled around on his chair, laughing and cancelling things out from the script in his hand. His eyes scanned through a line and he twirled back to face his desk, picking up the land phone he dialled a number and on the third ring the person picked up "Miss Malia, speaking sir" "Ah Malia, Your team wrote the script for the new fantasy series, right?" He asked, still reading through the script "Yes sir" Malia confirmed. "That's sad cause I expected better, lots of plot holes and.." He paused and took a deep breath "just come and take it Malia, I made some corrections and added some ideas. Fix it up" he finished and dropped the script. A few minutes later, someone knocked and as he was about to say come in the person walked in. He raised his eyebrow and a smile appeared on his face. A dark-skinned man in his late twenties walked in, dressed in a black joggers and black hoodies with a black cap; that's covering half of his face, leav
Alan stepped out of his car and took deep breaths as he stood before the large law firm his lawyer owns. "Sir, should I wait for you?" His driver asked, with his head poked out the window a little. He turned towards him and nodded "yes please, it'll be a quick meeting" the old beared chauffer nodded before putting his head back into the car, and driving off to the garage. Alan turned on his heels and entered the firm, he exchanged quick pleasantries with the lawyers that were seated in their office cube as he walked to his lawyer's office, and when he got to her office, he knocked and without waiting for permission to enter, he strode into the office. A Latino woman dressed in a black suit sat there, with her hair stopping a little below her shoulders, her eyes covered by glasses as she went through the files in her hand "do you ever wait for permission before barging in?" She asked, slowly raising her face to look at Alan who just rolled his eyes in
"Hey!" She called out from the car, making Jonathan halt and turn towards her "have a good day!" She said, and a grin appeared on the boy's face. "Thank you! Have a nice day too!" He said and ran off. Amanda sat there looking at his retreating figure till she was sure he was inside the school before she sighed and started her car again. Dropping him off is like meditation for her, it makes her feel more relaxed and clear-headed, Knowing he is safe while she's working, but today it's just not working. She just couldn't seem to shake off the fact that she is about to charge Alan Weasley to court. Shaking her head, she discarded the thoughts and started driving out of the garage when she caught sight of something, or rather someone. She immediately stopped and her mouth dropped open, her eyes widened in shock and fear as she stared at the person through the side mirror, and her hands tightened on the steering wheel. "It can't be" she mutt
