......
Two weeks went by in a blink of an eye. Today was Amanda and and Richard's seventh wedding anniversary. Richard woke up early to do nothing but admire his wife's perfect feature. Time has not left a mark on her face and she was addictive to look at.
Amanda opened her eyes slowly and was met by a set of deep, full of emotions eyes staring right at her.
"Happy 7th marriage anniversary my queen." Richard said with a smile.
"Huh?" Amanda had just woken up so her mind was slow to process.
"Happy 7th marriage anniversary, my queen." Richard repeated himself.
After realising what he was saying, Amanda was shocked. So much had passed but it all felt like yesterday. Her eyes teared up.
"Thank you for providing me with a home I thought I would never have." Amanda said emotionally.
"That you too, for everything and for betting your whole life on me." Richard said, kissing her forehead lightly.
"You are the best husb
Birds chirping, their melodious voices singing morning glory, the fresh and cool air after the heavy rain last night, the rising sun over the horizon, it was one of the finest day for Amanda Jackson, but she was just too lazy to wake up.She lazily stretched her hands out as she smiled lazily at the beam of light passing through the window into her room. Today was such a fine day because everything that was going to happen today will be the best that has ever happened to her over the past few years.Her fiance was finally coming back from overseas and Amanda was a little bit nervous because she didn't know how to face him after not seeing him for the last five years or so.But why would she be nervous. After all they have grown up together. She chided herself for thinking too much.***"Amanda, why are you still lazing around? You need to start getting prepared. Today Jason is coming back, you know that apart from welcoming him, you are also
At exactly 6PM, Amanda, dressed in her best red, body hugging dress that took her a lot of effort to prepare, left with her mom to the hotel where the engagement will take place.She had done her own makeup because she is used to it given the nature of her job.She is Val's assistant and she is used to putting make up on her when she goes to film.Her mom had also dressed to kill. The daughter and mother duo walked hand in hand to the hotel.Reaching the hotel, there were so many unfamiliar faces but Amanda guessed that they were William's family friends and some of her dads.When people saw her at the entrance, they gave her strange gazes. Amanda was nervous but she still kept her cool on the outside. Head held high, she walked towards the William's family with a bright and innocent smile on her face."Hello grandpa, grandma, Auntie, uncle." Amanda greeted them politely, that sweet smile never leaving her face.The family nodded
Amanda excused herself to go the washroom. She left her handbag behind because she knew she won't be taking long and everyone there was like family so she trusted that her handbag will be safe.Seeing her leave, Juliana and her son Ryan exchanged a look. They each knew what to do. Their eyes were filled with evil glint.They have been waiting for an opportunity to place the prepared necklace in Amanda's bag and frame Amanda as they had planned earlier and this was the best opportunity for them.It was a replica of the necklace that Vallery was supposed to wear during the party. Val had made it so that they could take this chance and remove this bitch from their sight once and for all.They even planned to blow up the matter so that she may end up in prison.Ryan was the one carrying the necklace. He moved toward grandma Catherine because that is where Amanda had left her handbag. He pretended to chat with grandma and extended his hand towards Amanda's h
"Jason.... grandson, what is the meaning of this? Are not supposed to be engaged to Amanda? What are you doing kissing her sister in front of everyone?" Grandma Catherine's face was pale but she still managed to speak to her grandson in a cool manner although she almost blew her top up."Grandma, I'm sorry to disappoint you but things have changed now. I love Vallery now and we have been together since the time I went overseas five years ago. She cares about me so much that I don't want any other girl apart from her. I have been wanting to tell you for a long time now but I did not have the courage to see your heartbroken." Jason answered honestly."What are you talking about? You have been with her for almost five years and I did not even know about this?" Grandma Catherine's face turned cold as she stared at her family in front of her.She could not believe what she was hearing now. Looking at their faces, they did not seem surprised by this turn of events. And t
"The necklace is missing? Didn't I just ship it yesterday and you even said that you picked it up yourself?" Jason asked with a shocked expression."Yes Brother Jason, I even brought it with me when I was coming this morning and gave it to my brother." Val acted delicately as she hugged Jason's arm."Yes sister, I was with it when I came and I thought that I gave it you. Then where could it have gone, could someone have been consumed with extreme jealousy that they stole it.""Sister... did you by chance steal my necklace." Val asked in a gentle voice as she turned to look at Amanda but the evil glint in her eyes could not be hidden."When did I steal your necklace, when I came in, I went straight to grandma to talk to her, your mother and brother came in after us, I did not even go near them, how could I have stolen the necklace, using magic?" Amanda replied, puzzled by their accusation."How could we know, maybe we should check your handbag to c
Amanda was puzzled by the sudden turn of events. She did not know that Val will go to the extent of even hurting herself physically in order to just frame her. "Amanda, are you a rogue? I did not say anything regarding the necklace because I knew that it might be a misunderstanding, and now this! What did Val do to you to deserve such treatment. This is all my fault, if you want to channel your hatred towards someone, then that should be me." Jason roared as he held Val tightly into his arms. Val was pleased as punch when she heard Jason speaking up for her. She looked at Amanda and smiled victoriously. "I thought that you were always gentle and considerate, I did not know that you could be a thief, and even be this violent when your sister only meant to find justice for you. Is this how you treat your family. It's like I have never known you all these years." Jason said in a disappointed tone. Amanda clapped her hands after Jason
At Jackson's villa. "Vallarey, Amanda is supposed to end her sentence today. Are you sure she won't cause us trouble once she gets out of the prison?" Juliana asked. "No mom, don't worry about her. She wont manage to get out of that place alive. She should go and rot in hell with her mother." Vallarey spat viciously. Seeing her expression now and the expression she had when she was with Jason was completely different. You could even think that they were two completely different people. She had been planning for this very day since the day Amanda went to prison. She had used a lot of money to bribe the prison guards and nothing was to go wrong. Amanda will die a brutal death tonight, she will not survive, not when her, Vallery Jackson was still alive. "What are you planning to do?" Juliana felt chills run down her spine as she looked at her daughter's vicious expression. Many people were fooled by the i
"Dad, don't be sad because I know wherever sister is, she will forgive you. It is not your fault that she ended up in prison." Vallery sobbed as she consoled her dad. Peter's furrowed brows relaxed when he heard her daughter's concerned voice. "I know. I'm just sad. Knowing that I will never see her again breaks my heart. If only she had one tenth of your patience and understanding, she will not have ended up this way." "Sister was a good person. Maybe if she had not gone with her mother and stayed with us...." Vallery did not finish her sentences but Peter's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot. That woman, she had really played him like fool. When Juliana showed him the photos of Evelyne and that man, he did not believe it at first but she kept bringing more and saying malicious things about Evelyne that he believed her in the end.. He was consumed with rage and humiliation that he did not
