Chapter Forty Nine
Amber’s POV.
My entire world started to spin ten times faster as soon as Kayden mentioned to me that Richard was
also in the car when he hit my mother and killed her.
I found it hard to process his words at first until it hit me that not only did I marry the man who killed my
mother, but I also ended up marrying the man who was an aplice to the crime.
My heart fell to my stomach as the puzzle pieces started to fall in ce and my legs started to
wobble to the point where I almost fell, but Richard’s hands quickly grabbed me. As soon as I felt
his touch on my skin, I flinched, immediately throwing his hands away from mine.
I stared back at him, secretly waiting for him to deny Kayden’s words, argue with him, and just say
something to prove that Kayden was only trying to mess with me, but he said nothing.
He said nothing, and the guilt in his eyes was enough to tell me that Kayden wasn’t lying. When I
couldn’t contain my anger anymore, I stormed out of the restaurant, trying to walk straight despite
the fact that my tears had blurred my eyes, and I didn’t even know what to do or where to go.
I could feel Richarding after me, so I tried to pick up my pace and get away from him as quickly
as I could. When I realized that I couldn’t outrun him, I halted in my tracks and turned to look at
him with the most disgusted frown that my face could muster.
“Stay away from me, Richard!” I warned him, hoping he’d just listen and get away from me.
“Listen, Amber, I know you’re most likely confused and annoyed right now, but I’m going to have to
beg you to calm down. Let’s just go home and we’ll talk this out, I beg you,” he said.
“Talk this out. What exactly are we going to talk about, Richard Romero? Are we going to talk about
how you’re the most despicable and miserable bastard to exist on earth? Will we be talking about how
you’re nothing but a liar and a murderer, or will it be about how you’re not any different from the man
you supposedly hate?” I snapped.
“Amber, I know this seems a certain way, but I promise you, it’s not what you think. I’m not a
murderer, and I didn’t mean to lie to you,” Richard responded.

I rolled my eyes. “Save your lies for someone who cares to buy them, Richard, because I don’t. And for
your own good, you better stay very far away from him if you don’t want the whole world to find out who
you really are.” I warned and walked away.
Since we came in his car earlier and I had no intention of going anywhere near him, his car, or his
ce, I quickly halted a cab, got in, and asked the driver to take me to my old apartment before I
married Richard.
As soon as the can started to move, I settled into the back seat, closed my eyes, and cked out a
few minutester.
I groggily woke up to the sound of the cab driver calling me “ma’am” repeatedly and informing me that
we had arrived at my ce. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, I mustered a small smile and thanked
the driver, handing him a few crumpled dor bills as payment.
With that. I stepped out of the car, my weary body desperate for thefort of home.
As my tired feet carried me towards my front door, the weight of recent revtions still hung
heavily on my mind. The encounter with Kayden had left a searing mark, ripping apart my life as I
knew it. But there was no time to dwell on the past, no time for self–pity.
The door creaked open, weing me back into my old apartment. I tossed my purse carelessly on
the
floor, its contents spilling out, as I immediately began pacing around the living room.
I felt a strong sense of rage that I had never felt before, but at the same time, I felt nothing. At
the restaurant, I felt the urge to cry, but now I feel nothing. I didn’t want to cry, and even if I
did. I couldn’t
My tear nds had suddenly dried up, and the only thing I felt like doing was sinking into my bed and
falling asleep. I felt so weak, so tired, and sozy that all I wanted to do was fall asleep.
It made no sense to me, especially because I just heard about how my mother really died from the man
who killed her, and I was supposed to be sad, angry, frustrated, and out for blood, but I felt none
of that. I just wanted to go to sleep.
I was wondering if there was something wrong with me when my phone suddenly started to ring from
the
floor. I had a feeling it was from Richard, and I decided not to bother checking it since I had no
interest in talking to him, but the phone just kept ringing nonstop, and after getting frustrated
with it, I decided to check who was calling and tell them to go to hell.

To my surprise, when I picked up the phone from the floor, the caller ID I wasn’t expecting to see wasn’t
what I ended up seeing. Instead, I was getting a call from the little witch called Marlene.
I hesitated for a while, knowing very well that she couldn’t be calling me for any good reason, but
after thinking about it again, I realized that I had no reason to ignore her calls.
Sighing, I took onest look at my phone before finally picking up her call.
“Well, hello there, big sis!” she greeted me in an overly cheerful tone, causing me to roll my eyes.
“I know why you called me, Marlene. Get to it.” I responded, knowing very well that she aimed to try

to rub salt on my wounds.
“Oh, you do? Well, that’s a good thing, Amber. But I called you to congratte you on your wedding
to Mr. Romero. I mean, it’s not easy for a divorced woman to find love again just three months after
her divorce. You are definitely one of the luckiest women on earth, big sis,” she pointed out with a
squeal, and I simply shook my head at her foolishness.
“Marlene Marie Grey. You are a twenty–three–year–old woman! Don’t you think these childish tactics of
yours are a bit shameful? Are you not tired? Are you that bored? Is Kayden not treating you right?” |
asked, genuinely curious to understand how she had so much time on her hands to call about
pretending.
I would hear her chuckle from the other end of the call before she would finally respond. “I should

all before she would пnally respond. I snovia be the one asking such questions, Amber. Are you okay?
Are you sure you’re okay? Is everything okay with you and your husband?” she asked.
I didn’t respond.
“I know you hate me and all, but I’m genuinely just worried for you. I’m really hoping you can keep your
marriage alive this time and not end up as a second–time divorcee. We both know no one’s going to
respect a woman who has been divorced twice when she isn’t even thirty yet, Amber. So do your
best to stay married this time, because if you don’t…” She paused. “I’ll mop the floor with you so bad.
you’ll end up in an asylum.”
Her response didn’t shock me. Instead, it amused me.
“How far along are you now, Marlene?” I asked, and I could tell by the short pause in her breathing that
I had caught her off guard with my question.
“Why? Are you nning on harming my baby and me? Would you stoop so low?” she questioned.
I scoffed. “In the next five months, my niece or nephew will being out of you, and you better
believe that you have that child to thank because they’re the only reason I’m choosing to leave you
alone for the time being. But once that babyes out of you, Marlene, I’ll make you start cutting

And with that, I hung up.
