Everyone was caught by surprise. No one dares to talk when Rowan is talking, not to talk of yelling. The supervisor took Rowan's silence for acceptance. He hurried to his office and came back with his laptop. "I think I have the right schedule." The supervisor said after going through his email. "Sorry?" Rowan asked as if he didn't hear the first time. "She sent me the right schedule." The supervisor repeated."So how come you have another one?" The manager asked Belinda."I sent what she sent to me." Belinda responded, a little nervous. "Let me have a look." The supervisor checked the document on Belinda's computer. "This document has been modified and it's from this computer, "he said. "Did you do that? Rowan questioned Belinda. The tensed atmosphere in the office was palpable."I don't know how this happened but I promise, I didn't tamper with the document." "But you can as well admit the mistake was not from me as evident on your computer." Amanda fired at Belinda. Her ange

Rowan instructed his driver to get them away from the abandoned building, leaving the police officers to continue their search. "Destination sir?" The driver asked. "Hospital" Rowan responded. Amanda protested immediately. "Why? I am fine. I just want to go home." "You are bleeding Amanda" Rowan said expressionless. Amanda checked her body for bruises unsure of where the blood was coming from. She soon discovered that she had a cut on her arm. Seeing that she was not aware of the cut, Rowan scoffed. "You didn't know you had a cut? Don't you feel the pain? Anyways, I am taking you to the hospital." He said, looking away. Amanda sensed his anger but could not place why he was mad at her. Rowan's heart still raced with worry for Amanda, even though they had escaped the immediate danger. Silence dominated the car. They arrived at the hospital where Amanda was quickly taken into the emergency room for a medical evaluation. Rowan paced nervously in the waiting area, his mind filled w

Before he could say anything else, Madam Xi walked majestically into the living room. "Hello son," She said while she sat comfortably on the couch across Johnny and Jack. Happy to see Johnny and Jack, "Hello Johnny. It's been a while." She eyed Jack who immediately looked away. Her sudden appearance sent a shock through the room. Rowan's face turned a deep shade of red as he watched till she settled on the couch. "Mom!" Rowan exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "By here, you mean in my son's house?" She asked but she did not seem to expect a response. "Mom!" Rowan exclaimed again, this time, he raised his voice. "You can't just keep dropping your bombshell on me!"Madam Xi seemed unfazed by Rowan's outburst. She turned to Johnny and Jack. "How have you been Johnny? I heard you got married. I would have graced that occasion with my presence but we weren't in town. Is that why we haven't been seeing you around? Girls of these days are men keepers indeed." Madam Xi teased Johnny.

"Never! That is not happening." Amanda thought about the idea again and continued to lament. "That is impossible. Tell him I have kids? I don't think I can bring myself to do that." "But…" Mrs Roberts was about to talk but was interrupted by the sound of the bell. "Hold on!" She stood up to check who was there. It was Rowan's driver. "Good evening Ma'am. I am here for Miss Amanda. Amanda peeped from where she was seated at the sound of her name. She stood up immediately she saw Rowan's driver. She quickly looked around to see if any of the kids were playing around in the living room. She then walked to the door. "Yes? What is it?" Amanda asked, curious.The driver smiled. Amanda was already used to seeing him smile all the time, even in difficult times. "Mr Rowan said I should bring you with me." The driver said."Bring me? Where? And for what? Amanda questioned the driver.The driver responded politely. "Bring you to his home. I don't have information about his reasons, I am only

Amanda adjusted her posture on the sophisticated chair. 'What is it, Rowan?" She asked, impatient. Rowan focused his gaze on her for a moment. She was about to ask him what the favor was again when he finally spoke. "I need you to act like my girlfriend for a while." Bewildered by what Rowan said, Amanda remained quiet. Her gaze was on Rowan. He had to tap her to be sure she was still with him after calling her name twice with no response. "Amanda! Are you with me?" He asked when she moved her hand. Amanda leaned forward, unsure of what she heard. "Act like your girlfriend?" She echoed, trying to process what he was asking.Rowan nodded. "Yes, Amanda. You heard right.""Let me get this straight. You want me to act, as in pretend to be your girlfriend? She asked again. "Exactly" he responded, dismissive of her expression of shock. "Why on earth would you need me to do that?" Amanda exclaimed, regaining her composure. Rowan sighed, a hint of unease in his expression. "I know it s
