    Amber’s footsteps echoed across the marble floor of her bedroom as she paced back and forth, her


    mind


    racing as she thought of how to put her ns in ce. She nced at her phone, watching it ring as


    she waited for Helena to pick up her call.


    After what seemed like an eternity, the fourth ring finally gave way to Helena’s voice on the other


    end of the line. “Miss Amber, I’m so sorry for not picking up much sooner,” Helena’s voice was


    apologetic. “I needed to find a quiet ce where I could talk without anyone overhearing me.”


    Amber waved off the apology with a slight smile. “It’s okay, Helena. I understand. Now, tell me, how


    are things over at the house?” Her voice wasced with curiosity, and she hoped that something was


    going on.


    Helena took a deep breath before responding. “Not much has been happening, Miss Amber. Both Mr.

    and Miss Marlene have been… peaceful, almost distant, in my opinion. They’re hardly ever at home


    these days.” She paused, a sigh escaping her lips, before she continued. “Miss Marlene keeps saying


    she’s going to her mother’s ce, and as for M. ck, he onlyes homete at night and leaves


    early in the morning.”


    Amber’s brow furrowed in frustration, and her mind filled with possibilities as she considered the


    implications of what Marlene’s words could mean. “Do you think they could be fighting, Helena?” she


    questioned.


    Helena hesitated, a pause hanging in the air before she suddenly recalled something. “By the way, I


    forgot to mention something, Miss Amber. There was something strange that happened yesterday, and


    I’m not sure if it’ll be helpful to you,” Helena interjected, her voice urgent as she shared the newfound


    revtion with Amber. “Anyway, I overheard Kayden and Marlene talking, and it seemed like Marlene


    had been to the hospital.”


    Amber’s eyes widened in surprise, “What do you mean? Do you know what happened, and why they


    were a the hospital?”


    “No one knows the reason, as there was barely anymunication between them yesterday. It was s


    strange, and the atmosphere between them was very stiff and ufortable. Even today, they refus to


    have breakfast together,” Helena exined. “I’ll try to find out more, but I have a feeling this

    might be rted to Marlene’s pregnancy. She hasn’t stopped clutching her belly, so I’m suspecting


    that something might be wrong with the baby”


    Amber’s gratitude resonated in her voice as she thanked Helena for her help. “Please keep me

    if anything new happens between them, okay?” Amber urged.


    “Don’t you worry, Miss Amber. I’ll make sure to keep you informed. You can count on me,” Helena


    affirmed before the call came to an end.


    As the line went silent, Amber allowed herself a moment of quiet contemtion, a sly smile quirking


    the corners of her lips as she pondered the implications of the discord between Kayden and Marlene.


    This was the opening she had been waiting for–a crack in their wall that she could exploit to sow the


    seeds of chaos and doubt.


    Her initial n to turn them against each other had been put aside because of Marlene’s pregnancy.


    Despite her disdain for her sister, Amber’s conscience was pricked at the thought of harming an


    innocent life. She didn’t want to cause any harm to Marlene just yet, simply because she didn’t want


    her revenge to affect the innocent child.


    She knew she had to bide her time, to wait until the moment was ripe before striking with all the


    cunning and ruthlessness at her disposal. And the end game was to turn Marlene into exactly what she


    had always been–a mad woman.


    A soft knock on her bedroom door interrupted her thoughts, and Richard’s familiar form appeared in


    the doorway, a gentle smile lighting up his features.


    Amber returned the smile, a spark of affection gleaming in her gaze as she greeted him warmly. “Hey.


    Richard. How did the press conference go?”


    Richard’s expression was clouded with a mix of frustration and resignation as he recounted the events


    of the press conference and how public scrutiny bore down on him and his father. “It was a mess,


    Ambe It was a big mess that was almost like a heated debate. The reporters on our payroll were pitted


    against Kayden’s allies, and those bastards weren’t pulling any punches, Richard admitted. “Despite all


    our efforts, the usations against Dad continue to make headlines, painting him as a criminal trying


    to evade justice.”
