Amber sat back in the passenger seat, her eyes wide was wonder, as the luxurious surroundings
outside the car window glided past in a blur. The anticipation of meeting Bianca’s family, especially her
son and Richard’s nephew, who would automatically also be her nephew, had filled her with a bubbling
excitement that also mingled with a touch of disbelief.
She had been so excited when Bianca had called while she and Richard were shopping for clothes and
essories, especially since she couldn’t remember thest time she got invited for dinner as a
part of a family.
After about thirty minutes of driving, Richard guided the car to a stop in front of a grand gate that led to
a sprawling estate, its magnificence evident in every detail. The sheer magnitude of the house. looming
before them left Amber in stunned silence, her gaze flickering between Richard and the
impressive structure.
“Is this really Bianca’s house?” she asked in a voice tinged with disbelief, her astonishment clear in her
tone. The size and grandeur of the residence dwarfed anything she had ever seen. She had always
thought Richard’s ce and his parent’s ce were the most luxurious ces she had ever seen, but
the structure of the building in front of her put both ces to shame.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Richard chuckled at her reaction, amusement dancing in his eyes as he nodded in confirmation. “Yes.
this is where my sister lives,” he replied, a note of pride evident in his voice. “Wait, don’t tell me you
really believed her when she said she was just an average person?” he teased, a grin quirking
his lips.
Amber’s lips parted in surprise at his question, her gaze drifting back to the imposing house looming
ahead as she tried to reconcile the image before her with the modesty nca had conveyed in their
conversations. “Of course, I didn’t think she was average. I mean, she is your sister at the end of the
day she admitted, her voice tinged with awe. “But when she said she was just a cop and talked.
about not eaming that much, I never expected her to live in a pce like this.”
The contrast between Bianca’s profession as a police officer and the sheer luxury of her home left
Amber feeling a mix of intrigue and curiosity. She just couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Well for starters, Bianca isn’t some low ranking cop like she enjoys pretending to be. In fact, that

“D…deputy? She’s the deputy?” she asked, unable to hide her shock.

Richard chuckled, not surprised that she was shocked since he pretty much knew his sister didn’t look
like she was anything important. “Yes, she is. And besides being a Romero with millions in inheritance,
she’s also married to a pilot. So, don’t take her seriously when she tries to act humble. It’s just
one of the many symptoms of her madness.”
Amber froze for almost a minute as soon as she heard Richard’s exnation. One of the reasons she
had easily taken a liking to Bianca was because she had thought that Bianca was a pretty simple
person
seeing how she spoke carelessly, acted carelessly, and even joked around like a teenager. But on
finding out that she was such an important person in her day–to–day life, Amber couldn’t help but
feel a little bit intimidated.
“Your entire family is so intimidating,” she blurted out, and Richard frowned immediately.
“We are? Why? Because of Bianca?” He asked, genuinely confused as to why she’d think they were
intimidating.
and “Don’t try to act clueless, Richard. For starters, your father is a legendary businessman, everyone
knows that, and his family tree is full of elite. Now, your mother is the one and only Martha Vitale, who’l
happened to find out used to be a famous announcer before she married your dad,” Amber stated,
wondering how Richard couldn’t see how intimidating they all were.
“And then there’s you. The Richard Romero. Not only are you famous for being a genius and for being
so capable, but you’re also famous for being hot! No offense to Bianca; she’s absolutely gorgeous and
all, but I was so happy when I thought she was a little more normal and rtable than the rest of you. I
guess it’s my fault for being delusional enough to think a Romero could be normal. I was a fool,” she
hissed, shaking her head.
Richard stared at her for a while in silence, thinking of how best to respond before eventually
responding. “I can see why you’d say we’re intimidating, but it’s really nothing to brag about. There’s a
reason why Bianca chose to be a cop instead of living like I am. It’s because she wanted to get away
from the shadow of our family name that makes people think we’re so perfect when we’re
not”
“Sure thing, we’re wealthy, and we all have great careers, but the only reason we were able to achieve
all of this is because we couldn’t catch a break. We had to be perfect because that was what was
expected of us. Which is one of the reasons I don’t want kids. I wouldn’t wish my life on anyone,
especially not my own children. So Amber, don’t be intimidated because, as much as we seem perfect,
we’re all just sick people,” Richard added, and Amber couldn’t help but be silenced.

Richard’s words had caught her off guard and also made her realize that he had a whole lot of pent–up
frustration that ran deeper than she could imagine.
“Are you okay. Richard?” she asked, searching his face to see if their conversation had made him
upset.
“Oh, I’m perfectly fine, Amber. I just wanted you to know you have no reason to be intimidated by my

family and me. Also, please treat Bianca as you’ve always treated her. She’s crazy, but she’s really
sweet, and you’ll hurt her feelings if you suddenly start to treat her formally,” he responded, and Amber
scoffed.
“I said I was intimidated, not scared. Did you think I’d go in there and suddenly salute her or call her
ma’am? Jeez, babe, what do you take me for?” she hissed, and Richard chuckled lightly.
“Now, can we go inside already? I’m dying to see what this pce looks like on the inside!” Amber
squealed in excitement.
Richard would smile in excitement before suddenly remembering why he had been mortified toe
straight down to Bianca’s ce from the department store.
“Uhm, Amber. Do you really not want to change? I don’t think we’re dressed appropriately for a famil
dinner,” he pointed out again.
Amber pouted with a sad look on her face. “Do you not like our matching outfits? Are you embarrassed
about matching outfits with me, your wife?”

She knew Richard had been embarrassed about walking around while wearing a pink sweater that
matched her blue one, but she had been so excited when she spotted the couple’s fits. Since wearing
matching outfits had been on her to–do list, she had managed to convince him to go along with her
wish.
“I’m saying it might be awkward,” Richard responded.
Amber scoffed. “There’s nothing awkward about a married couple wearing matching outfits. Unlike you
Bianca is very open–minded, so I doubt she’d find it weird. Now, let’s go inside already! They’re waiting
for us.”
Richard sighed, epting defeat. He steered the car through the gates, and as they drove along the
driveway, the lush greenery and manicuredwns surrounding them only added to the sense of
grandeur that enveloped the estate.
On arriving at the front entrance, one of the workers of the estate appeared to take the car keys, and
Richard and Amber stepped out, the air filled with a sense of anticipation. Amber’s heart fluttered with a
blend of excitement and nervousness, her gaze sweeping over the house as they approached the front
door.
As soon as they walked in, Bianca’s familiar face would run towards them with an excited smile on her
face.
“Thank you both so much for taking time out of your day to honor my invitation. I can’t express how
grateful I am,” she said, and Richard would throw her a dirty look.
“What’s with that serious tone, and why’s your voice shaking so much?” he asked, and before he knew
it, Bianca would suddenly pull him in for a hug.
“You haven’t been to my ce in almost ten years, Richard. But now, you’re here with your wife. Your
own family. Don’t me me for being a little emotional,” she responded, and even though he had
initially wanted to push her away, Richard decided against it, realizing that he had missed getting a hug
from his overly emotional twin.
