The First Lead

Amara's POV

I was sitting on the couch reading while the baby napped upstairs. I was back home already. I couldn't afford to stay in Damian's place for too long. Potty was playing on the floor near the window where the afternoon sun came through. She kept pawing at something near the baseboard.

"What are you doing over there girl?" I asked, but she just kept scratching at the same spot.

I ran a frustrated hand through my already messy hair, as I started pacing around. "This feels completely wrong," I muttered. "How do I comfortably stand in front of camera to.please the public... while he's in here... fighting to see the next day sun...""Amara," Mr. Robert called firmly, "this is the more reason you should do it. If this attack was specifically for you, which likely was...then whoever engineered it would be watching from a close distance. All their plans is to see you break." I slowed my pacing, so I could hear him clearly. "They want nothing but for you to show a weak side, that way, you would be labeled too vulnerable to be in charge of the company, and they win."My chest started boiling with rage. They had bitten more than they can chew, and I would give them exactly the drama they want. "This isn't normal to start with." I

    Chapter 113Media Explosion Amara's POV "Tun it off, I don't need it.""Miss Amara, you need to se this now," Maria tried to pursuade me softly. But I could feel how her voice was shaking as the television continued blasting with news in the living room. "I said turn it off!" I snapped, my voice louder this time. On the screen were different images from the courthouse explosion, but I didn't give it much thought. Maria stood there for a few seconds...then, she finally picked up the remote, and muted it instead of turning ig off. There was silence after that, but it wasn't the type that comes with peace. It was very heavy, and suffocating. After a few seconds, I decided to know the details of what she was talking about. "Did you mean every channel?" I asked. "Yes. Every one of them." Maria nodded slowly. I let out a little laugh, bit it was rather bitter. "Of course. Why wouldn't such event go viral in a few minutes? Especially when it has to do with Billionaire CEO, courthouse

    Chapter 112Rosa?Amara's POV "What happened? Is he okay?!""We managed to stabilize him during the surgery, and he's currently out of danger," he replied. I let out a breath I had no idea I have been holding. "From what you just said now, he's going to be okay?" He stayed quiet for a few seconds, then replied. "He's alive," the doctor replied cautiously. "But that doesn't mean he's out of danger permanently.""What does that even mean?" I asked, with my heart pounding non stop again."Before he was brought here, he already lost a lot of blood. The internal injuries were also very severe. We tired our best in repairing what we could,but ..." He hesitated, which scared me more than I could admit. "But what again, doctor?" I pressed. I needed to know the situation of things, and how to handle them. "He slipped into a coma a few minutes after the surgery."Everything around me went dead silent. It was more of a graveyard, bit I held myself together, because it was still a dream. "

I rushed to hold the stretcher, trying so hard to keep up with the doctors as they raced through the hallway. I could barely stand straight because of the wayy whole body was shaking. "Ma'am, please, you need to step back," one of the nurses said, while already blocking me gently. "No, don't tell me to leave him! That's my husband!" I snapped angrily at her, without even realizing I just called Damian my husband. "It wasn't long he spoke to me...he made me a promise he won't leave me!""Amara," I heard another voice call behind me, a very soft voice. "Please...give them the chance to do their job."I turned to face one of the doctors, the the look on his face weakened me the more. "Is he going to survive this?" I demanded. "All I need from you is the truth, Please.""We're doing everything we can to keep him alive," he replied calmly, careful not

For my mother and for myself," I said."You're going to be amazing. Just tell the truth and don't let Caroline's lawyer intimidate you," he said.We walked into the courtroom together.
