Chapter Seventy One
Amber’s POV.
Iy there, my face buried in my pillow, the weight of embarrassment consuming me. I couldn’t believe I
had made such a fool of myself in front of Richard. The memory of my impulsive action reyed in my
mind like a never–ending loop, intensified by my raging self–consciousness.
Regret swept over me, twisting my stomach into knots. How could I have let my feelings get the better
of me? The thought of facing Richard now, after my humiliating disy of vulnerability and my feeble
attempts to brush it off as a joke, filled me with a wave of shame.
As I kicked my feet in frustration, my mind raced, reying the events of the previous night. I chastised
myself for letting my guard down so easily and for allowing my desires to blur the line between our
contract and something more. I had broken a rule, and I regretted it so much.
“Why did I do that? What was I thinking?” I muttered to myself, my voice muffled by the duvet. The
weight of my mistakes felt crushing, and the desire to disappear, to hide from Richard and the world.
grew stronger by the second.
Last night, after we had bid each other goodnight and retreated to our separate rooms, my mind was
suddenly filled with a strange desire–a desire to remain beside Richard instead of sleeping by myself. I
had convinced myself that I couldn’t bear another night spent alone, so I made the impulsive decision
to return to Richard’s door, knocking like a fool and then audaciously proposing
that we sleep together.
Of course, I had meant my words literally, wanting only to sleep in the same bed, but that wasn’t how
Richard had taken it.
The memory of Richard’s incredulous stare haunted my thoughts–the confusion and concern that etcl
deeply into his features. I cringed at the recollection, humiliated by my own actions. How had I thought
that such a request would be anything but absurd?
Richard had questioned me; his words were filled with disbelief and a tinge of worry. I remembered that
the first thing he had done was ask me if I was sober, reminding me that I had a few sses of
champagne before we left the party. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment at the implication, and m
actions suddenly seemed even more foolish.

In my shocked state, I had resorted to faking augh, attempting to downy the seriousness of my
request. I made fun of Richard, using him of overreacting–a feeble attempt to salvage my dig

I cried out my mortification.
And now, it was the beginning of a new day, but the embarrassment still clung to me. As Iy in bed.
I couldn’t help but rey the scene over and over again, the memory carving deeper into my
consciousness.
“I’m such a fool” I whispered to myself, my voice tinged with self–loathing. “How could I have been
so impulsive? What was I thinking?”
On that vulnerable morning. I resolved to keep my distance from Richard, avoiding him at all costs
until the suffocating embarrassment subsides. I can’t bear the thought of facing him the weight of
my foolish actions feels a little too heavy for me to face head–on.
As I struggled to collect myself, frustration gnawing at my core. I let out a defeated sigh. Giving
in to the embarrassment was not an option–I had far too much to do. Slowly, I peeled myself out of
thefort of my bed and made my way towards the bathroom, desperate to freshen up and regain s
semnce ofposure.
Stepping out of the bathroom, my eyes fell on my phone resting on the bedside table. A hint of curiosity
tugged at my thoughts, prompting me to check if the tabloids had seized on the events ofst night.
With a mix of curiosity and amusement, I clicked on a few news headlines, bracing myself
for the inevitable.
“Amber ck, now Amber Romero, cheated on her ex–husband with his rivat she marries his rival after
divorce.
*Richard Romero has an affair with Rival’s wife; he marries her after they’re caught”
“Are Richard Romero and his new wife, Amber Grey, really Married? Or could it be a charade to Spite
Ex–husband?”
I couldn’t help but burst intoughter at the absurdity of it all. The tabloids had certainly lived

up to their reputation, turning the events of my life into scandalous headlines. It was clear to me that
Kayden, in his desperation and cunning, was behind each and every one of these articles. But what I
couldn’t fathom was why he, as the one guilty of infidelity, would risk retaliating against me
in such a reckless manner.
so
The thought crossed my mind that if it were someone as foolish as Marlene behind these news stories,
it would be easier to dismiss them as simple–minded revenge. But the fact that Kayden was also a part
of such stupid tactics left me questioning his sanity. Surely he knew the potential bacsh that could

It was time to pay a visit to an old friend, someone with whom I was going to enjoy watching her life be
ruined. I literally had a list of how I wanted my revenge to be arranged, and Alison, being the easiest
prey, was first on my list.
With a strong sense of excitement, I quickly got dressed and made my way downstairs.
As I descended the staircase, my eyesnded on Richard, already prepared to leave the house.
Suppressing the embarrassment from the events of the previous night, I mustered up the courage to
approach him.
“Richard, where are you headed?” I asked.
He turned to face me, his expression one of confusion. “Oh, I have something to take care of today.”
he renlied “Why? le there gomething wil need?”

he replied. “Why? Is there something you need?”
A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips. “Can you cancel your ns?” I asked. “Today is Alison‘
s birthday, remember? And her surprise gift is scheduled to be delivered. I don’t want to miss the
opportunity to witness her downfall, but I don’t want to enjoy it by myself.”
Richard furrowed his brows, clearly taken aback by my request. “Wait, you already called the Colonel?
And he agreed to help you?” he questioned, his voice tinged with surprise.
I nodded, a wicked grin spreading across my face. “Yes, Richard. It didn’t even take a lot of
convincing. Like you said, the man does have a strange likeness for weirdos like me, so when I told
him I wanted to get revenge on her for what she did, he immediately gave me one of his people to
contact for help,” I exined.
“And today, I won’t let Alison escape the consequences of her actions. I’m certain the police are on
their way as we speak, ready to apprehend her. And I have no intention of missing out on the
satisfaction of seeing her being cuffed and dragged away like the criminal she is,” I added, already
loving, the thought of seeing her look hopeless and afraid.
