Joanna clasped her fist until there were loud cracks of bones. "Why did it have to be her… And why on earth did she have to call at this ti," Joanna's frown deepened, her gaze glued on the cellphone in Amos' possession.
At that mont she felt the urge to snatch the phone from his hands and smash it against the wall.
"Give a few minutes…,"
"Don't tell you are gonna answer the darn call?" Joanna demanded fiercely. Before he knew it she was standing in front of him.
"She keeps calling," Amos said, his gaze focused on the phone's screen which was the third ring.
"It might be sothing important…,"
"And was what we were doing not important?" She questioned angrily.
"I am sorry…," Amos apologised. Before she knew what he was up to, he had walked away from the bedside.
He moved to stand in front of the wardrobe.
Joanna looked at the guy whose cell phone was held close to his ear.
At that mont she ca up with a crazy idea that the Kayden she knows might not be the one standing in front of her.
If he was Kayden she knew he wouldn't prioritize so insignificant woman over her.
He wouldn't dare to do anything to displease her but ntion angering her.
Joanna was furious and because of this, she forgot the most important thing, which was listening to their conversation with her powers.
Seeing Amos frantically open the wardrobe after throwing the cellphone on a table close by made Joanna wonder what happened.
"What is it?" She asked. She proceeded to where he now stood trying to wear the white pair of trousers in his hands.
"I have to leave right now…,"
"What!" Joanna yelled, not able to hide her anger in front of him anymore.
"You stood up on such an important night but I didn't ask you what exactly happened or where you went… I didn't want to sound petty by bringing this up but it's just that I can't believe you want to do the sa thing to again…,"
"I am sorry, Joan," Amos apologised. As he apologized he was too busy trying to wear clothes to spare the woman he was apologising to a glance.
His actions infuriated Joanna more than the fact that he wanted to leave her alone yet again in the middle of their intimacy.
"I promise I will make it up to you…,"
"And that is exactly what you said yesterday but only for you to go back on your promise the sa day," Joanna said.
Amos didn't speak afterwards.
When he was done zipping up his trousers, he went over to where he had dropped the shirt earlier and picked it up.
Hastily, he slid the shirt into his muscular body. Joanna stood there and watched him ignore her.
"Joan…," He called as he struggled to arrange the collar of his white shirt.
"Alia's apartnt got attacked last night. I need to drop over to make sure that she is ok…,"
"And what about huh?" Joanna snapped. She turned and walked to the bed in anger.
"Also, you both t yesterday and I can't believe you didn't only give her your line but knows where she lives too…,"
He tried to walk to where she was now sitting on top of the bed. "Joan…,"
"Don't call my na," Joanna cut in sharply. Not wanting to see his face she tilted her head to the sides.
"I wish I could stay a few minutes more and talk to you but unfortunately I have to leave. She was in tears when she called ," Amos amplified.
"I promise we will talk after I return… Also if we can't et before ti for classes reaches then let's talk on campus ok," Amos said, his gaze concentrated on the fuming lady's face.
He waited for her to talk and why when she wouldn't look at him, not to ntion speak to him, he turned and approached the door.
At the door, he took a long gaze at her before he opened the door and shut it behind him.
Hearing the main door jamd shut, her frown deepened. Her hatred towards Alia rose to the peak.
"Geez… I can't believe he left here alone again," Joanna muttered as she jumped up from her bed.
The fuming Joanna paced about with her fist clasped. "What wrong did I commit to deserve this huh?".
"I really hate her and if she is not careful, I might end up killing her," Joanna mumbled. She focused her fiery eyes on the brown door.
….
At Audrey's ho, she was seen sitting beside a lady lying on a dium size bed with half of her body covered with a brown duvet.
"Caroline, I am glad to see you were not badly injured but don't worry, your Young Miss here will make sure those who did this to you will not go unpunished," Audrey gave the wounded lady her word as she gave a slight squeeze to her hand.
"You don't…,"
"Stop talking and take a lot of rest so your injury can heal. Recuperating cos first before any other thing, don't forget that," Audrey said as she returned Caroline's hand underneath the duvet where she t it.
She stood up from the bed and started walking towards the entrance which also served as the exit.
"Young Miss, don't tell you are leaving now?" Caroline took a guess. She tried to sit up on the bed but Audrey turned around in ti to stop her.
"I have told you not to move around if you want your legs to heal quickly," Audrey scolded.
"I will take care of myself but…,"
"Just do like I said Caroline. Mum and Dad won't make things difficult for you. In fact, they were the ones who suggested that you should take ti off work because of your injury," Audrey interrupted.
She bent and pulled the duvet so that it covered Caroline's hand.
"Young Miss, I am sure that Madam and your father are happy to have you back ho after a long ti, how about staying over…,"
"I wish I could but I can't," Audrey cut in softly. She let go of the duvet and walked two steps away from Caroline's bedside.
Staring into space, she continued, "I left a sick friend at ho and as you know, it's not good to leave a sick person all alone".
"Miss Joanna is ill?" Caroline exclaid with widened eyes. She tried to sit up but Audrey stopped her in ti.
"Hmmm…," Audrey trailed when she realised that Caroline had misunderstood what she ant.
[Lovesickness is also another form of illness so that ans I am not lying]
Audrey forced on a smile as she looked at Caroline's face. "Sothing like that I guess".
Audrey didn't spend much ti in Caroline's room. She spun and headed downstairs after leaving her in the care of Miley, Caroline's friend.
As Audrey was trying to get ho as soon as possible to be with Joanna, Joanna on the other hand out of anger had left the apartnt.
Mr Anderson, Adhara and Laura were in the sitting room talking when the backdoor creaked open.
At the sa ti, all of them tilted their heads and stared in the direction the footsteps ca from.
"Good afternoon Sir, Stepmother," Joanna greeted grudgingly as she imdiately proceeded to the stairs.
Mr Anderson's deep frown showed he wasn't at all pleased with Joanna's attitude. "Is that how you greet your parents?" Mr Anderson questioned. His masculine voice stole the silence and peaceful atmosphere in the room.
"Where are your manners?" Mr Anderson thundered.
Joanna clasped her fist and grit her teeth to suppress her anger.
If she was to answer her father with the way she felt she knew the words she will tell him might make him commit suicide.
She took a step forward and pretended like she didn't hear what he said.
The next thing the angry Mr Anderson did was to pick up the glass cup in front of him and throw it at Joanna.
Joanna squatted in ti to dodge the flying glass cup.
Clink! Clink!
The glass shattered into pieces as it hit the stairs bar. The bouncing piece of glass pierced Joanna on her thigh.
Slowly she turned and glared at the fuming man.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Looking into Joanna's fiery eyes gave Laura the chills.
She waited to see what would happen between the father and daughter duo.
Even Adhara chose to keep quiet at that mont.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
HAPPY SEPTEMBER 🎉🎉🎉
Hello amazing readers, happy new month once again. It's a new month and as you all know, it's also ti to set new goals but before we dived into our goals for this month, I have sothing to tell you guys.
Guess what????
I just received my first review after a long ti, yay!!!
And can you guess when I got this review?
Surprise... I got it on the 1st of September. I am so happy right now.
Because of the review, I feel so optimistic about this month. I have this amazing feeling that more surprises are gonna co my way this September 2022 from you guys.
Guys please prove right and surprise by completing the goals listed below.
One more thing before I list our goal for September, I just want to say a big thank you to all my readers who supported exceptionally last month.
Thank you and let's do even better this month. GOALS FOR SEPTEMBER, 2022.
GOAL 1: 1K (1,000) = 6 chapters mass release. As long as we reach 1,000 privileged chapters unlocked this month, this lovely author here is gonna surprise you guys with 6 chapters mass release.
Please, guys, support to reach this particular goal this month. I promise I will be good to all of you.
Also, you don't have to buy the highest privileged tier if you can't afford it. No matter the tier you purchase as long as you unlock the privileged chapters daily, this author here is gonna be forever grateful to you.
GOAL 2: 50 GOLDEN TICKETS = 2 chapters mass release. Give all your GOLDEN TICKETS and you won't regret it, everyone, I will make sure of it.
GOAL 3: 100 Power Stones = 3 chapters mass release. Guys, I realised recently that there is a mistake I have been making concerning this particular goal.
The power stone goal is a weekly goal and not a monthly goal. And this is because the power stone ranking gets renewed every month.
Now you know this, then what are you waiting for? Give all your power stones and stand a chance to get 3 chapters mass release every week.
P.S: Don't forget that there is also a reward attached to SUPER GIFTS so send the gifts coming... (Coughs) I won't reject it if you decide to send a MAGIC CASTLE or a SPACECRAFT.
Your dearest author loves you all very much ❤️❤️❤️.
Let's hear your confession, do you love too?
