The next day Amanda woke up in a happy mood.
She rang her bell and ordered the servant for her breakfast.
“Get me Nellie” she said when she was greeted by a new servant.
“My lady, I’m afraid Nellie won’t be able to serve you anymore” the servant said with tearful eye.
“Why?” she asked in confusion.
“She’s being punished my lady, in the garden” the servant could not help her tears anymore.
“She will be beaten to death if she did not reveal who ordered her to assassinate young master Mills” the servant said pleadingly.
“A-a-assassinate?” she said in shocked.
How could it be?
She only ordered Nellie to drug the young master and to sleep with him.
She never ordered for an assassination.
Is it possible that someone wanted to murder young master Mills?
She could not be implicated, but she could not let Nellie die beca
“They say that it’s takes a village to raise a child” General Mills said meaningfully.“It seems like you need the whole country to raise yours” he roared with gritted teeth.This is not acceptable to him.He was initially fond of Amanda and he really likes her but this action is really serious.She should not play with people’s lives no matter how repulsive they seem.“Feel free to take her” Sebastian said while scratching his head.He also doesn’t know how to save his face right now.Even though they are good friends with the Mills family, everything can be put aside if it concerns a person’s life.The old men were still bantering about Amanda’s action when they heard Mark laughing from the guest room.“I told you she’s getting bolder” he said to the old master Golding.“She’s, she’s done this before” he s
The guards immediately secured Harley and Meredith and the whole household was turned upside down.When Amanda opened her eyes, her arms felt numb.There was an IV drip attached to her left arm.She tried to sit up but she felt dizzy instantly.When the door opened, John Fields came in with a food tray with a big smile on his face.“You, my lady, should eat more healthy foods.”“I heard you’ve been nibbling on bacons when you’re bored?” John smiled at her warmly.“Oh John, help me call Mark. I have something important to tell him” she said excitedly with a weak body.“John, I think Mark is Jack’s real father”“I know it’s a long shot. But it’s worth to run a test” she thought she said her words properly.Harley’s blurred words were echoing in her mind.‘Tattoo on lower abdomen’‘Jack of d
Just as announced, the Golding-Mills wedding will be held on the first day of Spring.Since Amanda’s body was still very weak, they decided to hold the wedding in a private ceremony in the Golding estate.Only the big four families were present.The Henleys, the Smiths, the Mills and the Goldings.Valerie came back from abroad as a maid-of-honour while Monica, Fiona and Brenda were tasked as bridesmaids.In the groom’s entourage, Dexter Henley is the best man while Jake, Simon and Adam were groomsmen.Jack carried the ring while the cute little Penny showered the aisle with flowers.Amanda looked like a goddess in her white dress.Her hair was adorned with flowers matched with a simple make-up.When Penny saw her, she immediately ran to her mommy and walked beside her.Jack looked confused and also wanted to join the girls but he knew this is an important event.He went to the girls and led Penn
“Domestic flight from Capitol Metropolitan to Northern Province is now ready for boarding. Priority passengers please prepare to board the plane.”The announcement was heard from the domestic airport’s PA system.The priority passengers hurriedly board the plane to take their seats.It was a 6-hour midnight flight from Capitol Metropolitan, Diamond country’s capital, to the Northern Province, the country’s most abundant territory with all the gold and diamond mines among other precious stones and gems.When Amanda North headed to her row with her four-year old son Jack, she noticed that the man in the first row is already sleeping soundly with his seat reclined all the way back.
The first half of the flight went smoothly allowing the four people to sleep.The flight attendants passing by could not help but admire the love family seated in the second row.A strong and handsome father while the mother is beautiful and gentle. The young boy is very smart when awake but looks like his mother when asleep. The little baby is an angel when sleeping but also displaying a mischievous smile when awake.In the fourth hour of the flight, the baby started moving and then suddenly cried.“Mom, mom” Jack woke up as soon as he heard the baby crying.“I think Penny is hungry” Jack observed whil
“I haven’t introduced myself. My name is Mark Hunter. You can call me ‘Hun’ for short” Mark said in a business-like tone.“Amanda North, and you already know my son Jack” Amanda replied while handing her business card.‘Amanda North. Branch Manager – Green District. Heaven in a Spa’ Mark quickly read the business card before keeping it in his wallet.“I don’t have my business card with me now but I can give you my number” he quickly dialled Amanda’s number.“It suits you, you know” Mark remembered how concerned she was with Penny and he thought it’s her nature to take care of others.
“Hun? Is he your new boyfriend?” Henry’s eyebrow immediately raised when he heard ‘hun’ is it short for ‘honey’?“Huh? Oh no no..Hun for Hunter. We just met. Shall we go now? Grandma and Pops might we waiting for us” Amanda just wanted to escape the awkward scenario.“Well, it was a fun flight. Thanks again for Penny” Mark gave his sweetest smile while patting Jack’s head.“Thanks for breakfast” she replied.“Until next time, see you” Mark felt optimistic of their next meet-up.As soon as they went inside the car, Henry started bugging her again about Mark.
The week went by quickly and it was time for Amanda and Jack to go back to Metropolis. She was arranging their luggage for the next day’s flight when her phone started ringing with an unfamiliar number.Thinking it might be a client, she answered without thinking then she heard a distant but familiar voice.“Young Lady” her hands immediately trembled as soon as she heard the voice.“Sorry, I think you dialled the wrong number” Amanda quickly ended the call and sat on the bed for support. She was trembling and she felt her heart stopped beating for a moment.It’s been five years when she was last called by her title. Not that she misses it, but it took her great pains to erase her past life
