Chapter Forty Six
Third Person PO
Marlene stormed into Kayden’s office, her face contorted with annoyance. She couldn’t contain her
frustration any longer, and she wanted him to know it.
Kayden’s surprise was evident as he watched her entrance, his worry etching lines on his forehead.
“Babe, is everything alright? Are you feeling any pain? Is something wrong with the baby?” he asked,
concern evident in his voice.
Marlene’s annoyance only deepened at his immediate concern for her well–being. “Do I look like I’m in
pain?” she retorted sharply, her toneced with exasperation.
Kayden blinked, taken aback by her response. “No, but you do seem upset. What’s going on, babe?” h
probed gently, his eyes searching her face, his concern shifting from her physical health to her
emotional state.
Letting out an exasperated sigh, Marlene decided to cut to the chase. “Haven’t you seen the news yet?
It’s everywhere and I expect you to have heard by now!” she eximed, her frustration palpable.
Confusion flickered across Kayden’s features as he struggled to process her words. “What news are
you talking about, Marlene?” he asked, his voice tinged with curiosity and growing worry.
Marlene’s voice rose in anger as she snapped, “Amber got remarried to Richard Romero, and you don’t
even seem to care!” The disbelief in her voice was palpable.
A realization dawned on Kayden’s face, and he nodded slowly. “Oh yes, I saw the news,” he admitted
quietly, his eyes dropping slightly.
Marlene’s surprise grew, her tone in disbelief. “So you already knew about it, and yet, you’re so calm?
How can you be calm about this, Kayden?” she demanded, her frustration escting.
Kayden let out a sigh, his gaze meeting Marlene’s. “What did you expect me to do, Marlene? It’s
Amber’s choice, and I can’t control that. I honestly don’t care who that good–for–nothing marries or
whatever she’s up to,” he retorted in an irritated tone.
Marlene rolled her eyes, her frustration evident Well eveuse me but forgive me if I find it hard

to believe that Amber and Richard got married for some noble, love–filled reason,” she retorted, her
voice dripping with sarcasm. “You’ve always made it clear how much you hate Richard, which can only
mean Amber and Richard are up to something and it bothers me that you’re not worried about them
right
now.”
Kayden shrugged, his expression nonchnt. “I won’t deny that Richard has ulterior motives, this I’m
very sure of. But I’m not worried because I know Amber won’t be of any real use to him,” he replied, a
flicker of confidence in his eyes. “Marlene, I think you’re starting to overestimate Amber way too
much. She’s foolish, weak, and naive, and she doesn’t have the intellect to cause me any real harm.
Don’t worry about anything, babe.”
Marlene’s frustration with Kayden grew, her eyes narrowing in disbelief. “You really think that, don’t
you? You genuinely believe that she’s so naive and foolish? Well news sh sweetheart, you’re wrong!
The Amber I know might be slow and trusting, but she’s no fool. How didn’t you ever see how
clever and maniptive Amber can be? Mark my words, Kayden, she and that Richard guy are
involved in
something sinister, and we can’t underestimate them.”
Kayden let out another sigh. “Babe, no offense, but I really don’t think Amber and Richard pose any
actual threat to us, no matter how much plotting they do. It’s just going to turn out to be another
one of Richard’s failed experiments,” he stated, his voice tinged with exasperation.
Marlene rolled her eyes, her annoyance evident. “Instead of acting like you’re so untouchable, maybe
you should consider breaking Amber’s confidence just to make sure you’re really as untouchable as
you
think you are,” she fired back.
Confusion furrowed Kayden’s brow as he tried toprehend Marlene’s suggestion. “And how exactly
do you propose I do that?” he asked, his toneced with skepticism.
With a wicked smile, Marlene asked Kayden if Richard Romero was the same Richard he had talked
about
during the incident with Amber’ste mother. Kayden nodded affirmatively, confirming the
connection.
Marlene’s smile widened as she found her opening. That’s exactly what we need. Use Richard. He’s
the
perfect tool to bring back Amber’s vulnerability,” she exined, her voice filled with anticipation.” Amber
may not be a fool, but her weakness has always been herte mother. Use that against her,
Kayden. Bring her down from whatever high horse she’s on.”
Kayden’s frown deepened, his unease growing as he listened to Marlene’s suggestion. He couldn’t
help but feel a sense of dread at the direction she seemed to be heading. Needing rification to be
sure

Marlene met his gaze, her eyes filled with excitement. “It’s time, Kayden. You need to share the true
reason why you married Amber in the first ce,” she replied, her voice resolute. “Let her know
about your connection to herte mother.”
Kayden gasped, disbelief flickering across his face. “Are you crazy?” he eximed, his voice filled
with shock. “Do you even realize the consequences of exposing such things to her? It will only make
things worse for me.”
Marlene scoffed, dismissing his concerns. “Kayden, things can’t get any worse than they already are.

Amber already hates you, so why not give her more reasons to hate you?” she dered, her voice
dripping with cruelty. “By exposing your connection to her mother, you’ll not only break her spirit,
but you’ll make her hate herself enough to want to kill herself.”
Kayden fell silent, his mind racing as he weighed the repercussions of Marlene’s suggestion. He knew
that their situation was dire, but he couldn’t help but feel a pang of doubt.
Marlene, on the other hand, loved the idea of causing her sister even more pain. The anger she had
felt when she read the news of Amber’s marriage flooded back into her mind, and it made her even
more determined to forever wipe a smile off Amber’s face.
After a while of Kayden staying silent, Marlene grew impatient, hissing at him, “Do you want me to do it
since you don’t seem to have the guts?”

Sighing deeply, Kayden finally spoke, his voice tinged with uncertainty. “Marlene, I understand the
sentiment behind your suggestion, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s really a good idea,” he admitted, his
voice filled with concern. “What if this n ends up backfiring on us? What if it only drives Amber,
further into her drive to get back at us?”
Marlene’s smile turned wicked, her eyes gleaming with a hint of malice. “Trust me, Kayden. Telling
Amber that you were responsible for her mother’s death is the best way to break her. It will drive her so
insane with hatred and despair, and she’ll end up falling right back to where we originally left her. Or
this time, even worse,” she assured him, her voiceced with a chilling certainty.
