Chapter Sixty Six
Richard’s POV.
“You’re out of your mind, Richard! Out of your mind!” Bianca hissed as she paced back and forth in my
room.
“Didn’t we agree that you’d shut up about this and give it a rest?” I snapped in response, wondering
why she was so intent on sounding like a broken record.
“You expect me to shut up, stu pid? Are you being serious? How in the world would you think that I’d
ever shut up about the fact that my precious brother is living with a woman who is only ever going to
know, when mom told me you were marrying her, I bring problems for him?” she questioned, ” actually
wanted to believe that it was all a joke and that maybe, just maybe, there’s a stunt behind the marriage.
But to think you really married the ex-wife of that bastard and you n on living your life with her?
That’s crazy, Richard!”
“And it’s none of your business, Bianca! Stop trying to act like you and I are close enough to be in each
other’s business. Amber is my wife, and you better ept that or get the hell out! The choice is yours,”
I retorted, sick and tired of her habit of sticking her nose where it didn’t belong.
I couldn’t understand that she was only looking out for me, but I really didn’t like how she talked about
Amber like she was a gue, and I didn’t mind throwing her out if she wasn’t going to say
Amber’s name with respect.
“Do you not see my point, Richard? Do you not see why I’m worried? You and this girl are connected.
only in the worst ways, and to my own understanding, such connections are usually ill-fated. You can’t
possibly think you’ll be happy sharing a life with a woman whose heart is equally as dark as
yours,” she said.
I rolled my eyes. “You and your superstitions, Bibi. So because we have hating Kayden inmon,
you
think we’re ill-fated? Make it make sense.”
Bianca sighed. “Alright, fine! Let me ask you this: do you love her? And you better not bother lying. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
because you know I can tell,” she warned.
Hearing her ask me if I loved Amber took me by surprise a bit, especially because I knew the true
nature of my rtionship with Amber, and getting such a direct question made it hard for me to

articte my thoughts properly.
“Yes, I do, Bianca. Are you satisfied?” I responded.
She paused for a while, her eyes fixated on me, almost as though she was also trying to read me.
“Is your marriage arranged? Is it fake?” she asked all of a sudden, and I unconsciously widened my
eyes in disbelief because I couldn’t believe my ears.
How in the world did the thought cross her mind?
“W-what in the world, Bianca? W-why would you even think in that direction?” I asked.
“It’s a yes-or-no question, Richard. Is your marriage fake?” she questioned.
“And what makes you think it is?”
“Because I know you better than anyone, you idiot. I wouldn’t be surprised if you proposed marriage. to
her because you wanted to use her against Kayden,” she hissed. “And yes, I know whatever you twe
have, real or fake, isn’t any of my business, but I’m worried, Richard, I’m very worried.”
“Worried about what exactly, Bianca? What exactly is it you’re worried about when I’m perfectly fine?” I
asked, hating how she always looked at me like I was some pitiful kid in trouble.
“You and I know you’re not okay, and I just don’t think having that woman by yourself is going to bring
you any peace. I want nothing more than for you to be happy and in love, but I don’t see happiness in
your eyes, Richard. I just don’t see it. You, Mom, Dad-all three of you are starting to really concern me,
especially you and Mom. Mom is still grieving Gigi and resenting herself for not noticing Gigi was in
pain, and you still think you’re the reason Gigi’s dead,” she said, letting out
a frustrated sigh.
“And yes, it’s hard to move on from Gigi because she was our baby girl, and we all loved her very much
but you two can’t continue like this, Richard. I saw Mom earlier, and she was having a full-blown
conversation with Gigi, like she was seeing Gigi right in front of her. And then there’s you, who I’m
pretty sure still doesn’t sleep at night because you think you don’t deserve to sleep peacefully
until you avenge Giorgia. You’re not well, Richard, and if what I hear about Amber is true, then
you’re both not well, and you’re not right for each other,” she ranted.
I sighed.

“I know what you’re thinking and why you’re concerned, but you’re wrong, Bianca. You’re very wrong.
Yes, I still have issues sleeping, but it’s no longer half as bad, especially after I married Amber.
I know you think my marriage with her isn’t real, which you’re not wrong about, but Amber helps me,
Bibi. Believe it or not, she helps me a lot without realizing it,” I admitted.
“And how does she help you, Richard? Exin it to me so I can believe you,” Bianca replied.
“When I approached her, I just wanted to see how far I could use her. I’ve only known her for at month,
Bianca, but in such a short time, she has given me so much energy, and so much life to the point
where it’s strange. I feel like Amber is really the only person that can understand me, Bianca.

I know you try to, but you can’t understand what I go through, but she does and I know you think that
would make me dwell more on it, but that’s not the case. In fact, it’s far from it,” I exined.
“Before Amber, I always woke up feeling empty, tired, and dead on the inside because of my guilt, and
I’m not saying my guilt is gone, but I don’t feel empty anymore, Bianca. Because I’m married to her
and I know she’s been through a lot, just like I have, I want to protect her and be there for her.
That gives me a new purpose, other than just getting back at Kayden and making his life hell, and I
don’t wake up thinking of just Kayden anymore, I wake up thinking of Amber, and wondering if she’s
okay.”
It wasn’t until after I said the things I said, that I realized how serious it sounded, and when I
looked Bianca in the eye, she had the same shocked expression that I was pretty sure I had on mine a:
well.

“I can’t believe it,” she muttered.
“I know, right? What the hell did I just say all that for?” I wondered out loud, still trying to understand
how I could have just said that I always wake up thinking of Amber.
“I do hope you know what this feeling is called, Richard,” Bianca mentioned, and I immediately knew
where she was getting at.
“Don’t you dare say it, Bianca. It’s not what you’re thinking.” I quickly rified.
“So you’re telling me you’re not in love with the woman you supposedly wake up thinking about?” she
asked.
“It’s not love. I care about her, and because I can rte to her pain, I want to protect her. I care
about her as a friend because we share a simr pain. That’s about it,” I responded, making myself
as clear as possible.
Bianca would then sigh, obviously struggling to believe that I was doing okay. “And what about her?
Do you think she wakes up thinking about protecting you? Does she care this much about you?”
I rolled my eyes. “That’s enough, Bianca. Enough questions. And just so you know, I don’t need her to
wake up thinking about protecting me. The fact that I no longer struggle as much as I used to and now
have someone I want to look after is already her way of protecting me from myself without even
realizing it.”
