James turned back to face her, his lips curling into a smile. "Amanda," He muttered, leaning over her. "Can you hear me?" He asked, brushing his hand gently against her forehead. Amanda's eyelashes fluttered, and a soft moan escaped her lips. She let out another distressed sound, before her eyes flickered open slowly. James's smile broadened as he watched her. "You've finally woken up," He said, his voice shaking in relief. "How do you feel?" Amanda shut her eyes briefly, then spoke barely above a whisper, "Kendall…" James didn't get what she was saying, so he had to bring his ear close to her lips. "Kendall…" "Kendall!" He exclaimed, straightening up. "Do you know where she is?" "Kendall…" Her voice came out like a cry this time. "Baby…" James realized that she might be reliving the accident, so he understood that she wasn't in the right state to give any answers. "I'll go get the doctor. Just hang in there," James muttered, pressing a quick kiss on her forehead without th

"What's the job this time?" He asked, his eyes glinting with interest. He leaned in closer, his voice barely above a whisper, "Is it another murder attempt?" Betty didn't like the term 'murder', but it was the only step she could take. "No. It's just making someone disappear," Betty muttered, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. A twisted grin spread across his face as he leaned back. "Should we discuss that here?out in the open," He asked, glancing around the place. "I doubt you want an audience for this," He said, fixing his eyes on the cafeteria's owner who was behind the counter, staring. Smirking, Betty replied,"No, let's have a little walk,"The man nodded and opened the door. "Ladies first!" His voiced chimed, attempting to take a chivalrous tone. Betty wasn't amused by his act, but she enjoyed the princess treatment. She stepped out of the cafeteria, and they walked side by side. "So, who should I murder?" He inquired bluntly, only to get a sharp glare.He rais

Betty snuggled against James, and at that moment, he decided to end the hug. He regretted it instantly, fearing he might have given her the wrong idea. As he tried to pull away from her, she tightened her grip on him. The closeness made James uncomfortable, but he didn't want to create a scene or embarrass her, especially since she was offering him comfort. James leaned in, bringing his lips closer to her ear, and whispered, "Can you please let me go?" The smug look on Betty's face vanished, and she quickly broke the hug. "I'm sorry," She hastily apologized, though feeling no remorse. She simply wanted to act like she wasn't taking advantage of the situation. "You don't have to apologize. Thank you for being so kind to me," He muttered, blinking back his tears. "I am sorry if I seemed rude earlier, it's just…that everything is overwhelming," "I understand," Betty nodded with a soft smile."Well, I can't fully say that I understand your pain because I haven't experienced somethin

James gazed at her, wondering if helping was her only intention. He knew she had apologized yesterday, but he doubted her sincerity. He suspected she was trying to get closer to him. Squinting, James replied, "I don't need any help right now. When I do, you'll be the first to know," Betty's chest, which was swelled in happiness, deflated, and the smile on her lips slowly faded. "But…"She began, trying to object."I can offer some ideas on how to find Kendall. You never know, one of them might lead you to her," James considered her words, and his earlier firmness began to waver. "Well, that's true. However, I don't want to burden you with my problems, especially since I haven't been very nice to you," James admitted with an awkward tone. "We are friends. You don't have to be nice all the time," She blurted out, curling her lips into a forced smile. "Although I won't deny that you've been hostile towards me, I can't leave you in this vulnerable state. What kind of friend would I be

James sat up on the bed, his eyes still dilated in shock.He was staring at a picture of a burning building with ambulance vehicles, fire trucks, and injured people in its surroundings. The building was one of his company's branches. It was his secretary that sent the picture to him. "How did this happen?" He asked, gasps leaving his lips as he stared longer at the picture. It looked like the fire had consumed half of the building, he doubted that everyone came out alive. "I need to go there," James muttered, hurriedly slipping out of his bed. He was still wearing his clothes, so he dashed out of his room. As he strode down the hallway, he began texting his secretary. He asked for the location of the fire incident since his company had multiple branches and he couldn't keep track of each one of them. She replied almost immediately, sending the location, which was a three-hour drive. She urged him to wait till the next morning since it might be dangerous to drive at such a late

Charles swallowed hard, his nervousness growing as he glanced over the street. A part of him felt like someone was watching, but he quickly pushed the thought aside. There was no need to be paranoid. "No one else would take Kendall. It has to be James," Charles muttered to himself, his frustration evident. "He's the only one responsible for this," In determination, Charles resumed walking, "I'm going to find Kendall, and make sure his ass is thrown into jail," Striding with quick steps, Charles continued following James everywhere he went, not until James went home. *James drove into his driveway, exhaustion getting the better of him with every move the car made. He let out a deep breath as he turned off the ignition.He leaned on the steering wheel, and his heart ached with guilt and regret. Tears stung his eyes, and he didn't bother fighting them. He never wanted things to get this far. He never imagined that the custody battle would bring so many problems. "I didn't even get

Charles noticed the doctor approaching and quickly moved to intercept him. "How is Amanda, doctor?" Charles asked, his voice tinged with anxiety. "Is she alright?""Doctor, is she alive?" James added with a trembling voice."Are you wishing for her death or something?" Charles snapped, shooting a sharp look at James.James ignored the comment, his mind was solely focused on her well-being. His heart raced as he anxiously awaited the doctor's response. His thoughts were racing with memories of Amanda. "Yes, the patient is alive, and the surgery was a success," The doctor responded with a reassuring smile.Charles and James heaved sighs of relief, simultaneously. They were so relieved at the news. "Thank goodness. I'm so glad that she's fine," Charles said, a small smile appearing on his lips. But the next words of the doctor erased it. "Her condition is stable, but she's not fully out of the woods," The doctor uttered seriously, making them anxious again."What do you mean?" Charle

James saw the determination in Charles' eyes and wasn't surprised by it. He knew that Charles must feel something for Amanda because it wasn't natural or professional for a lawyer to be so intrusive in his client's life.He did things that didn't seem like mere acts of kindness. James was aware of everything, but at this point, he didn't care."You can do whatever you like. I don't give a fuck!" James spat, his teeth clenching. "Amanda and I are divorced already. Her mind has been poisoned so much that she thinks I was responsible for the poisoning incident,""You made her believe that I did it, but she had a choice. She chose to disbelieve me. She preferred to treat me like crap. She believed someone she didn't know over me..." There was so much despair in James' voice, but he tried hard to conceal it.Charles, however, wasn't having any of it. "Well, maybe she realized that the man she thought she knew wasn't who he claimed to be,"Charles shot back. "She probably sees more honesty

"Please nurse..." James pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation. His heart sank to his stomach as she kept the papers in a drawer beneath her desk."I sympathize with you, sir. But there's nothing I can do to help you," The nurse said with a sympathetic tone.She saw the broken look in his eyes and lowered her gaze. She would have given in if her job and entire career weren't at risk."The only advice... I can give to you is to contact her close relatives," She muttered softly, hoping to see some hope in his eyes. But unfortunately, there was none."My wife... I mean my ex... Amanda's parents are dead, and her brother has been missing for years now. I'm her only family," James responded with a quivering voice. He could feel a hard lump in his throat, one that was caused by guilt.The guilt of being unable to save Amanda. Although he should be angry that she escaped with their daughter, who he was also bothered about, she still had this place in his heart.He couldn't imagine he
