Chapter Ny Six
Amber’s POV.
As I excused myself from Richard and Bianca, I suddenly felt propelled by urgency and anger. The fact
that Kayden had just once again intercepted my happiness and was trying to ruin Richard’s family
made
me so furious and also drove me to reach out to Antote and inquire about the progress of the
mission I had entrusted to her.
As I settled on the edge of my bed, my fingers trembled slightly as I dialed Antote’s number,
tapping my feet continuously on the tiled floor. Since I arrived in Italy, I have been having way too
much fun, and I haven’t bothered to check in on Antote and the mission I had entrusted to her. At
a point, I had even forgotten about it because of how immersed I had be in my short vacation.
The first ring of the phone echoed in the silence of the room, unanswered, leaving a sense of unease
gnawing at me. Anxious thoughts flitted through my mind as I tried once more. The second ring met
with Antote’s voice on the other end of the line.
“Long time no hearing from you, boss!” she eximed almost immediately after she picked up. “It’s
been way too long since west spoke, so why all of a sudden are you calling?”
Ignoring her pleasantries, I cut straight to the chase. “Antote, I need to know how far along your are
with the task I gave you. Have you made any progress with Anthony ck?” I queried, trying not to
show that I was a little desperate at this point.
There was a long pause on the other end of the line, and tension was building in me as I held my
breath.
Antote’s voice, when it came, held a note of curiosity. “Is there a reason for the rush, Amber?”
“I wouldn’t ask if there wasn’t a reason, Candy. I don’t know how far you’ve gone, but I need the
evidence against Anthony as soon as possible. I no longer have any time to waste,” I replied.
Antote’s response was swift. Don’t worry, Amber. I’m on the cusp of a breakthrough. He almost hit
me a while ago, but I’m guessing he’s still trying to control himself a bit. Since you need it so urgently.
I’ll work on provoking him a little more, and I’ll have the evidence you need soon,” she
assured me.

they’ll be quick toe in and save you,” I reminded her again, not wanting a situation where Anthony,
with his psychopathic tendencies, would end up hurting her to the point of killing her.
I didn’t think he would go that far, but regardless, I had to take precautions just in case.
“I can take care of myself, Amber. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to prepare to meet that man in a few
hours. Hopefully, I can be done with this today and get it over with,” she responded in her usual
nonchnt tone.
“Alright. Good luck,” I said before hanging up.
As I hung up the phone with Antote, a wave of frustration washed over me, mingling with the
feeling of anticipation that clung to me like a shroud.
The mission to secure evidence against Anthony ck was the only thing on my mind now, besides th

situation with Richard’s father. I desperately wanted to teach Kayden a lesson, and every other n
I had in mind, which I paused beforeing here, started to resurface in my mind.
Running a hand through my hair in a gesture of restless agitation, I was interrupted by the shrill beep of
my phone, signaling a new notification.
Curiosity piqued, and I reached for my phone and unlocked the screen to reveal a message from the
cop
who had assisted me in putting Alison behind bars. The unexpectedmunication left me puzzled,
wondering what more he could possibly want from me after our past dealings.
Opening the message with a sense of trepidation, I scanned through the previous messages I had
missed. I didn’t realize that he had sent me a message two days prior, and I was even more confused
as to why he would be texting me so often.
My eyes widened in shock as I read the first message he had sent. The words on the screen blurred for
a moment beforeing into sharp focus, delivering a blow that left me reeling. Alison had been
released on bail. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, my mind struggling toprehend how
someone as despicable as her could have been left to walk free.
I couldn’t understand what was happening and how she had even gotten the chance to be bailed out i
the first ce, even after I had used the Colonel’s connection to put her there in the first ce.
With trembling fingers. I scrolled through the subsequent message from the cop, my heart racing in my
chest as I suddenly felt a sense of loss. The words I read next struck me like a bolt of lightning.
searing through me with a terrible finality.
Alison was found dead in her apartment, and apparently, she hadmitted suicide.
The news hit me like a physical blow, the air escaping my lungs in a gasp of disbelief. It made
absolutely no sense to me that someone like Alison would kill herself, and the news just made me feel
loads of conflicting emotions like shock, anger, and, strangely, sadness.
Questions raced through my mind, and I couldn’t help but find it weird that this would happen despite
the fact that she had been released. Was her death really a suicide, or was there something more
sinister at y here? Was it possible that someone had killed Alison, or did she kill herself, and if she
did kill herself, would it be because of me?
I wondered internally, suddenly realizing that there was a possibility that I drove Alison tomit
suicide.
