Amanda 2

Aaron rushed into the house, his heart thrust against his chest. Was she finally here? In his house?

He paused when he saw the person he'd been thinking about through his journey here. His feet hit the tiles, he didn't want to make a sound, afraid she would vanish like she did a few years ago.

Amanda turned her head when she heard the faint footsteps, she rose from her seat and ran towards Aaron.

Aaron wrapped his arms around her, hugging her back. He rested his face on her neck.

" God, I've missed you," he muttered

Amanda pulled back, tears streaming down her face, Aaron wiped them away with his thumb.

" I have also missed you, Aaron. I…. I thought I wouldn't see you again. I thought I was going to die but I somehow escaped from them."

Aaron hugged her again but this time he didn't want to let go.

"I w-" he paused mid-sentence when his phone vibrated.

He looked at the caller ID and felt guilty.

" Naarah,"

" You son of a bitch." Naarah cussed

"Not now, cousin."

" Fuck you and her, I should have made Mina go on that date with the doctor but no she didn't want to make you angry. But look at you, you run to your stupid whore like a puppy." Naarah exclaimed

" Language Naarah."

"I'm telling you, Aaron, if you make Mina cry over you or she gets any sleepless nights because of that trash you call a girl. I'm going to kill you. I will make Mina get married and record every detail for you and her child will call another man dad. Because you chose that bitch over her"

Aaron's jaw clenched, and he stared at the dark screen of his phone. He couldn't believe his cousin didn't understand the situation. Amanda just came and he doesn't know what she has been through. He knows he's made the mistake of not informing Mina about anything but he promised he will call her and clarify everything.

He looked at Amanda, who was hugging herself. He has no doubt she didn't hear the conversation, his cousin was screaming her lungs out.

"I will assign a guard to show you your room."

Amanda nodded but paused,

" Can I have the second room, the one closer to yours?" she asked

" No!" Aaron snapped

Amanda flinched, she wasn't expecting this answer.

Aaron sighed.

" That room is off limits. It's for Mina."

" Mina?" Amanda asked

" The mother of my baby," Aaron answered with a smirk.

He loved it when he referred to her like that. She wasn't just his princess but the mother of their unborn baby.

"She is pregnant?" Amanda asked with a hurt voice.

Aaron nodded, he didn't have time to explain everything to her. She just came and she has yet to settle down.

A guard came to show her her room, but Aamada was reluctant to enter the guest room. It was far from Aaron's.
