The Divorced Heiress by Arianapeige

Chapter 4

Amanda dragged her suitcase along the road pavement as she glanced at the mansions. She knew that it was quite a distance to the city but she had nothing on her that she could hail a taxi. She had thought that her prayers had been answered when she got married to Damien Scott but it seemed that life was playing a certain game with her. Sighing in desperation, she walked hurriedly since it was already evening.

She walked for two hours before arriving in front of a hotel. Without even looking at the name, she got in and sat in the nearby booth.

“Excuse me?” she heard a voice ask, succeeding in getting her attention.

“Ma’am, what can we offer you?” a waitress who stood in front of her asked politely..

“A glass of water for now please,” Amanda said in a calm and soft voice.

“Okay,” the waitress said as she scrambled on her small notepad before walking away.

Being left alone, Amanda felt bitter and she didn’t know the reason. She gazed at the streets through the transparent window. As much as she wanted to admire the view and scenery, it was hard. Luxurious cars were being packed one after the other outside the hotel making her question the name of the hotel but out of feeling that she might be misunderstood, she kept quiet and

ringing.

“What?”

“Why?”

“How?”

Amanda found herself being bombarded with a lot of questions when she picked up the call, she couldn’t help but be helpless.

“It’s a long story,” Amanda answered since she didn’t know where to start when she had always lied to the lady that she was having the happiest moments

of her life.

“Where are you now?” Elsa asked, desperate and full of worry.

“Honestly, I don’t know. I walked two hours from the Scott’s mansion and

entered the first hotel I saw because I was so tired,” she answered in
