~Amanda~A few days have already passed since Sarah came to my company and I had a serious breakdown.Eva,my secretary followed my orders.She kicked Sarah the next time she came to visit and called the security guard to escort her out.It seemed as though the bitch was not humiliated enough,she waited for me out of the gate so that she could talk to me but all was in vain.I told our company's security guard never to allow her to come any closer to our building.I followed my mother's advice,I didn't want to face Sarah until the wounds deep inside me are completely healed.Facing her at the moment isn't a good idea,things might escalate and I don't want things to go that far.As much as I hate Sarah,I don't wish anything bad to happen to her.She was once our best friend and cared about us.I don't care if she was faking it all that time because that is none of my business.Everything back in the pack is well and I'm grateful that whenever I go home after a long

~Amanda~I walked to the table where Sarah was then pulled the chair and sat down without saying a word.“Strong coffee?”Sarah asked and I nodded.I was not surprised that she still recalled what I used to like.She always knew everything about me because we were best friends five years ago while studying in the same campus before things fell apart.Sarah placed the orders and I was quiet all this time.I felt anger boil inside me but I tried my best to stay calm.She turned to look at me,”thank you for accepting to talk to me and thank you for coming.”Her lips curved into a smile and it made me sick.“Just go straight to the point Sarah!I don't have the whole day.I have important things to take care of other than talking to you!”I said in a cold voice and a shiver ran down her spine.She nodded nervously.“First of all before anything else,I would like to ask for forgiveness for what I did to you,Amanda.”She bowed her head in shame, avoiding my gaze.

~Amanda~The employees looked at me awkwardly when I walked to the company.I know they could tell that all was not well and I was grateful that no one bothered to talk to me.I have been messed up lately with everything that has been going on in my life and I'm afraid that I will lose it.“Amanda…”Lucia called in worry as soon as I opened the office door.She was in my office waiting for me to arrive.I told her that I would go to talk to Sarah during the lunch hour.Lucia rushed to me,she wrapped her hands around me so tightly.That is what I needed at the moment, someone to hug me so tightly and that is what Lucia did.Now I know the reason why she insisted that I should talk to Sarah.It's because she cared about me.Lucia wanted me to know the fucking truth…The sobs that I had been holding  tore from my lips.“It's okay,let it all out.”Lucia rubbed my back in comfort.I hugged Lucia tightly and wept.After crying my eyes out for a couple of minutes in

~Amanda~“I know that…you were framed.”Different emotions played in Gabriel's eyes which I couldn't wrap my head around.It shifted from surprise, relief to anger…It was silent for a while as Gabriel tried to digest what I had just told him.He heaved a deep sigh.“How did you find out?”He inquired,eager to know.“I found out today.Sarah explained to me everything.She told me that she faked the attack so that she could get sympathy from you.That’s why she didn't want to report the matter to the authorities.”I paused to catch a breath.Gabriel's jaw twitched when he heard my words.He clenched his hands first, trying so hard to control his anger.I explained every single detail to Gabriel and the more he listened, the more he got angry.Gabriel was even more surprised to find out that Sarah is my half-sister.“So she did all this for revenge?”Gabriel raked his hair in frustration.“How cruel can she be!Does she know what she did ruined everything tha

~Amanda~“Mommy,why aren't you eating?”My daughter's angelic voice pulled me back to the real world and I turned to look at her, forcing a smile.“Don't you like uncle Gabriel's cooking?”She asked with a frown.Well, it's Gabriel who prepared lunch for us.Did I tell you that he is a good cook?Now you know.I shook my head almost immediately.“That's not the reason dear.The food tastes great and I like uncle Gabriel's cooking so much.”I momentarily looked at Gab and I didn't miss that smile on his face.I know my daughter was disturbed because I have been losing focus so much.I could see worry in those dove eyes.Gabriel has been trying his best to distract me but nothing seemed to work.The three of us tried to play hide and seek,solve a puzzle but I spaced out after a while.I couldn't help it but think about my mother…“What is wrong then?”My daughter inquired,eager to know what was disturbing her mama.“Nothing really,”My lips curved into a wide convi
