that happened with Mary isn’t something I can easily exin. It’s all veryplicated,” he said.
His response struck a nerve in her, and she could feel the anger bubbling at the mention of Mary’s
name. “I’m still curious, Dad. Go ahead and exin this
started. I’m sure it was all just a big mistake, right?” she retorted, her toneced with sarcasm.
Martin shifted ufortably in his seat, hesitating for a moment before continuing. “Yes, Amber, it
was a mistake. I know you probably won’t believe me, but things with Mary escted so quickly, and I
hardly even remember how it all began. A few weeks after… something happened between us. She car
to me and told me she was pregnant. She said I was the father, and I was left with no other choice
but to marry her,” he admitted, his voice filled with shame and regret.
Amber’s eyes rolled involuntarily at his words, a wave of disbelief washing over her. “So, what you’re
telling me is that you let yourself be seduced by Mary less than two years after Mom passed away?
Was it that hard to stay away from Mom’s old friend and keep yourself from getting in bed with her?”
she questioned, her voice filled with disappointment.
Martin opened his mouth to respond, but Amber held up a hand, cutting him off before he could utter a
word. “Save it, Dad. Now that I think about it, I don’t need to hear your exnations. You made your
choice, and now you have to live with the consequences of all your actions, no matter how
praiseworthy you think they are,” she stated firmly, her gaze unwavering.
A heavy silence settled between them as Martin sighed, recognizing the futility of trying to defend
himself. “Amber, I know I have no right to ask for your understanding, but everything I did was to
protect you and the rest of the family. I just tried my best to keep us safe,” he implored, his voice
tinged with desperation.
Amber scoffed, her expression hardening as she shook her head. “Stop lying to yourself, Dad. You’re
not fooling anyone, least of all me,” she retorted, her voice filled with a sense of betrayal.
She leaned back in her seat, crossing her arms over her chest as she fixed her father with a piercing
gaze. “Even if I could believe that you agreed to work for the ck family for Mom’s sake and to get
revenge for her, I know for a fact that you ended up losing your way because of your greed, Dad. No
excuses you make can justify what you did too. You handed me over to Kayden, knowing he was
responsible for Mom’s death. You practically sold me out, putting me in a situation where I was

sleeping with the enemy without even realizing that the man I trusted had taken my mother from me,”
she used, her words hitting Martin like a dagger to the heart.
Martin hung his head, his guilt settling heavily on his shoulders. He knew there was no excuse for
his actions and no way to undo the damage his decisions had caused.
“Amber, what do you want from me now?” he inquired, his tone threaded with a hint of weariness.
Amber’s expression remained steely as she met her father’s gaze head–on. “I’ve already told you
what
I want, Dad. I want you to stop protecting Kayden. Give up every piece of evidence you have against
him that could finally bring him down for everything he’s done,” she responded, her voice firm.
Martin let out a heavy sigh, a twinge of concern flickering in his eyes as he studied his daughter.
“Are you sure you’re ready to go against Kayden? Do you truly believe you can take him down without
putting yourself in danger?” he inquired, his voice tinged with worry.
Amber’sugh was devoid of humor as she shook her head. “I am not the same naive Amber you once
knew, Dad. Stop treating me like I’m stupid. I know what I’m doing now,” she retorted, her eyes
shing with determination. “You’re wasting my time. Give me what I want, or you’ll spend the rest
of your life in jail for crimes that aren’t even yours,” she added.
Martin nodded in reluctant understanding, bowing to Amber’s demands. “You win, Amber. I’ll give you
everything I have on Kayden and his family,” he conceded, his voice resigned.
He went on to exin the extent of the evidence he hadpiled against Kayden, detailing everything
from his childhood transgressions to his illicit dealings and criminal activities.
Amber listened in disbelief, her shock evident on her face as Martin painted a damning picture of
Kayden’s sordid past and present. “How did you gather all this information and keep it hidden for so
long without saying anything?” she questioned, her voiceced with incredulity.

Martin waved off her question with a dismissive gesture. that you’ll have the leverage you need to take
down Kayden once and for all,” he responded, his tone
serious.
Amber sighed. “Where is this safe located, Dad?” she inquired, her voice steady despite the storm of
emotions brewing in her.
Martin hesitated for a moment before answering. “It’s in a vault in a private bank. You’ll need to get the
keys from my house to ess it and retrieve the evidence inside,” he exined.

As Martin revealed the location of the key to the safe containing evidence against Kayden, a sense of
urgency surged in Amber. She fixed her gaze on her father, determination etched into her features.
“Make sure whoever it is that’s giving me the key is cautious, Dad. Mary can’t catch wind of what we’re
doing,” she instructed, her voice sharp and resolute.

With a brisk nod, Amber rose from her seat. “Also, keep in mind that you have twenty–four hours to
time in prison and reflect on yourself, Dad. I hope

you change for the better,” she dered.
Without another nce back at her father, Amber strode out of the visitation room, the heavy door
closing behind her with a resounding thud.
Sliding into her car, Amber started the ignition and began her journey back home. As she drove, a
subtle stiffness in the steering wheel caught her attention–a nagging sensation that something was
amiss. Frowning, she pushed the thought aside, attributing the difort to the stress of her
encounter with her father.
However, as she continued along the highway, a foreboding feeling settled in the pit of her stomach.
The traffic light ahead showed that it was red, prompting Amber to step on the brakes. To her shock,
the car failed to respond, hurtling forward at an rming speed. Panic wed at her chest as she
realized the elerator was also malfunctioning, propelling the car uncontrobly faster.
The world seemed to blur into a surreal haze as Amber grappled with the chaos unfolding in her
malfunctioning car. The rush of wind against her windows mingled with the pounding of her heart, a
disorienting sound that drowned out all rational thought. Panic welled in her as the car continued to
elerate, heedless of her desperate attempts to regain control.

Her mind raced with a jumble of confusion and fear, each passing moment stretching into eternity as
the red light loomed closer. Amber’s hands gripped the steering wheel, her knuckles white with tension,
but the car remained unyielding to hermands.
As her car sailed past the red light, a ck SUV materialized out of nowhere from her right–a sudden
presence that sent shockwaves of terror through her trembling form. In a fraction of a heartbeat that felt
like an eternity, the SUV collided with her car with bone–jarring force, the impact shattering her fragile
hope for safety.
The world spun into a maddening whirl as the SUV’s brutal momentum propelled her car sideways,
careening towards another vehicle that loomed menacingly in her periphery. The sickening crunch of
metal meeting metal reverberated through the air as the specter of an impending disaster drew nearer

and visceral, spilled from a jagged wound on her brow, painting her vision in shades of stark, stark
red.
And then, before she knew it, her consciousness slipped from her, and thest thing she remembered
hearing was the sound of the police siren.
