Amber almost groaned in frustration. She forgot about the rings. Devlin did not tell her to remove them. She did not reply to Raven and put her hand under the table. Then, Raven stared at Devlin’s left hand and noticed the single wedding ring on his ring finger. She gasped while staring back and forth between Amber and Devlin. Amber was looking at Devlin waiting for what he had to say. Instead, he was casually cutting his piece of steak and taking his time to chew it. Both Raven and Dalton were just staring at Devlin with a surprised look. “Hey bro, are you two married? This is a huge surprise!” His brother chuckled. Amber waited for Devlin to answer. He has never uttered a single word since his brother and Raven approached them. “Yes. We just got married yesterday.” Devlin casually announced like it was a simple business meeting. “Wow! That’s a big thing. Congratulations are in order then. Mind if we join you?” It was Dalton who spoke. Raven reluctantly sat down with them.

Amber woke up to feeling something heavy on her chest. She slowly opened her eyes and suddenly froze to her spot. She is in Devlin’s room. She saw his hand on her chest. Slowly, she moved herself to look at Devlin. To her relief, he is still sleeping soundly. She slowly removed his hand from her chest. Then, carefully got off from his bed.She walked on tiptoes until she reached the door. She slowly turned the knob afraid to make any sounds that would wake him up. The moment she got out of his room, she let out a deep sigh. ‘That was close.’ She said to herself. She went to her room to check her phone. It is half an hour past six in the morning. She decided to get ready for the day. She did her daily exercise for half an hour this time. Then, she proceeded to make breakfast for Devlin. She made a special chicken soup for him. She also made some toasted bread, fried some eggs and bacon. After she was done in the kitchen, she took a shower in her room. She wears beige cotton shorts an

Amber realized that she was shaking when everyone else left the room except Attorney Harrison. She took a heavy breath to lessen the anxiety she is feeling. It was so tense earlier that she thought she would just throw up. She could not handle the dagger look she was getting from Devlin’s father. As much as she tried to understand his outburst but that did not stop her from shaking. She is scared. She never thought in her wildest imagination that she would ever get involved in such a serious matter. First of all, she never thought she would inherit a large sum of money and some properties which would cost millions of dollars. Second, her shotgun wedding to Devlin was something she never thought would ever happen to her. And now, she earned the wrath not only from Devlin but as well as from his father. It is basically the entire Wesley family although they were not vocal with their emotions. “Attorney Harrison, what should I do now? I am sure everyone would love to see me gone in no

Meanwhile, Devlin is at the bar, getting himself wasted again. He had a heated argument with his dad when they went out of the library. His dad was accusing him of bringing Amber into his game to get as much money from his late grandmother. “How could you do this, Devlin?! You have gone too far?” His dad was shouting. Good thing they are in the lounge area and no one could hear them from the outside. Amber is still in the library with the lawyer. “I did not do anything. Blame it on grandma who changed her mind at the last minute.” He does not know why he has to explain to his dad. And he does not want to appear rude. But he has enough of his dad’s insulting words against him. For years, he had to endure everything from constant comparison to his achiever brother to getting the wrath of his father for his failures in school. “I know you don’t care about this family but you should have respected the memory of your grandmother. She would be utterly devastated knowing what you did.” C

Devlin’s senses were dulled by the weight of alcohol that he consumed. However, he was not too wasted to not notice his surroundings. Looking at the familiar ceiling, he knows that he is back in his own room. Then, the door to his room gently opened. He saw a white figure standing just at his door. He tried to pretend that he is not aware of anything, that he is asleep like a baby. He heard the soft sounds of her footsteps as she moved around his room. Then, he smelled her natural feminine scent which he started to get used to. Then, after a few minutes, he felt Amber slowly lifting his right arm. She started to wipe away the traces of his intoxication. She cleaned him so gently. Devlin was only feeling her presence. Her gentle touch, her show of care, her patience with him… all of those he took for granted because he saw her in a different light. He saw her as a scheming vixen. He could not understand himself. Earlier, he was so angry at her that he thought he could hurt her real

Devlin spent his weekend with Amber. He has the clarity of mind to sort out things between him and Amber. After realizing about his situation, he resolved to settle his issue with Amber. For days, he has been angry at her since he blamed him for everything. But after seeing Amber taking good care of him despite everything, she must be something. Maybe his grandmother is right all along about her. They were at the private pool of Devlin’s penthouse when he opened the topic. Amber was wearing a yellow dress that was just above the knee while Devlin was wearing his casual walking shorts and a shirt. They were just sitting next to each other. “Amber, I want us to talk.” She was silent when she heard his words. They haven’t spoken about anything else except trivial things. Probably, it’s for the best that they talk now when Devlin is not angry. “Hmm..what is it about?” Amber was staring at the pool while waiting for Devlin to say something more. “First off, I do apologize for everythin

They have been on the road for more than two hours now. Amber has no idea where they are going. Devlin would never tell her anything. She thought they would just drive around the city. Looking at some wooded areas, she is guessing that they are now outside the city. The places that they passed by started to be less crowded. So instead of bugging Devlin with her question to where they are going, she decided to enjoy the view. The place she is currently looking at right now has more verdant green trees. And of course, she would never miss the majestic mountain ranges. Another two hours later, they reached their destination. “Wow! This is so amazing!” Amber could not help but admire the view in front of her. They are in Port Angeles. It is a few miles away from Mt. Olympus but Devlin said that the mountain is not visible from their place. She is actually looking at Hurricane Ridge. The area of Port Angeles is surrounded by a great body of water. Along the way, she already saw some p

“So, where are we going to have dinner? I am excited.” Amber said, beaming with excitement. She does not have any idea what’s in for her tonight. She thought they would go somewhere to a nice restaurant…a dinner date perhaps. She is already mentally thinking about what they are going to do at the restaurant. She imagines Devlin, her handsome date, talking some sweet nothings to her. But she stopped herself…Devlin never really talked about sweet nothings to her. She felt that he has changed a lot towards the way he treats her but there was no sweet talk from him. The kind of words that any woman would love to hear from their man. She forgot that he is not exactly her man. He is her husband only in papers. She got slightly disappointed but tried to hide her disappointment. She looked at Devlin. He looks happy and she does not want to ruin the mood tonight for both of them just because she entertained some negative thoughts. “Are you ready?” Devlin stopped her from her line of thoughts

Two months had passed since they found out that she was pregnant and Amber had been living in sheer bliss. She had nothing but praise for her husband who had been extraordinarily loving, patient, and understanding with her throughout this period. In the past two months, so many significant events have unfolded. First, Devlin’s father and brother were both acquitted of their cases. It was uncovered that everything had been orchestrated by Harrison. Then, Raven gave birth to a healthy baby boy, filling their lives with so much joy. At marmee’s request, they visited Harrison in jail. Despite the problems he had caused, Amber held hope that he would eventually find the peace he had long been searching for. In her heart, she had already forgiven him, and Devlin shared the same sentiment. Harrison broke down when he saw Amelia after several decades. His initial intention had been to see her before he discovered that Amber was her granddaughter. It was Olivia who told him that Amelia has

Two weeks later, Devlin rushed towards the entrance of the emergency room. “Where is my wife, Amber Wesley?” He anxiously inquired of a passing nurse on his way to the emergency room.“This way, sir,” the nurse replied, her voice filled with reassurance. “How is she doing? Is she alright?” He hadn’t had the chance to ask marmee earlier when he received her frantic call from his office. She had only mentioned that Amber was bleeding, and he couldn’t make out the rest of what marmee had tried to convey. Without hesitation, he had left his office and sprinted to the hospital where his wife was. “Sir, the doctor will provide you with an update shortly.” The nurse led him to a curtained area. There, he saw his wife lying on a hospital bed, with marmee appearing deeply worried by her side.“Marmee, what happened?” He rushed to her side, wrapping his arms around her in a tight embrace. Then, he turned his attention to Amber, who managed to give him a weak smile. “She slipped on the floor

Amber and marmee were busy preparing the table for dinner. They had just finished cooking, with the head cook and maids lending a hand. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of delicious dishes, and the table was adorned with an array of culinary delights. It was a feast fit for a celebration. “I am so glad I learned something great from the family who adopted me.” Amelia said out of the blue. Growing up with a family who enjoyed cooking, she was able to learn their special family recipes and now she can pass it all to her granddaughter. “I am happy for you, marmee. I definitely learned a lot of things from you.” Amber went to hug her grandmother. Then, marmee went on to say something while looking at her granddaughter with a twinkle in her eye. “Tonight’s dinner feels more like a celebration for both you and Devlin,” she remarked with a sly grin, then added, “ Maybe ‘it’s time for you to start working on my great-grandchild, dear.” Devlin, standing nearby, couldn’t help but chime

Amber was lounging by the pool when she felt a tender kiss on her forehead. It was, of course, none other than her husband, Devlin. He had left early in the morning, promising to return for lunch, and true to his word, he had.“Hey babe, what are you doing here all alone? Where’s marmee?” Devlin’s gaze swept the area, noting that only a few bodyguards were roaming around. He had purged their security detail after the recent incident. “Oh marmee? She went out for grocery shopping. She insisted on preparing dinner tonight,” Amber replied. She had urged her grandmother earlier to leave the grocery shopping to the maids, but it seemed marmee was too restless to do nothing. She had grown accustomed to life on the farm. “That’s fine, babe. They will help marmee in cooking.” Devlin was referring to the head cook and the maids. “Besides, we have visitors coming tonight.” Amber looked at Devlin with curiosity.“It’s Agent Smith and Abby. I know you've been eager to hear about what happened.

Amber awoke in an unfamiliar, white room. Her confusion mounted as she struggled to recall why she was there. Suddenly, a rush of memories flooded her mind. It became evident that she was in a hospital room. She scanned her surroundings but found no one present.She didn’t have to wait long though as Devlin soon entered the room, a warm smile on his face. He had just stepped out to collect some homemade food prepared by their head cook, along with a selection of fresh fruits.“Hey, baby, I’m glad you’re awake now. Is everything okay?” he asked, crossing the room to embrace his wife who wore a troubled look. Amber tried to sit up but winced in pain.“Take it easy, please. Your body is still recovering.” He helped Amber sit up more comfortably.“I am okay, just a bit sore.” Amber said, trying to smile to reassure her husband. “How long have I slept for?” She got curious since she remembered that it was in the morning when that incident happened. However, she could see that it was still

Inside the mansion, Attorney Harrison and Amber slowly descended the grand staircase with a heavy silence hanging over them. Amber’s heart raced, anxiety coursing through her veins. She faltered on the last step, her trembling legs betraying her. “Don’t make any stupid moves,” Attorney Harrison hissed, his grip on her tightening. “You’re my only ticket out of this hellhole.”Amber scanned the room as they moved forward, her eyes catching the hushed movements of the police officers who were waiting to the sides, giving way for them to exit. The tension in the air was evident, everyone keenly aware of the volatile situation. Every step was a careful calculation, every decision weighed against the risk of the hostage getting hurt.Amber’s gaze locked onto Abby and Agent Smith, standing off to the side but poised with their guns. Their expressions etched with worry and determination. Amber couldn’t help but wonder where Devlin was in all of this chaos, her mind racing with unanswered qu

“I am deeply sorry for the pain you’ve endured, Attorney Harrison. Regrettably, we cannot change what happened in the past. I hope you can eventually find it in your heart to forgive. I am genuinely willing to help you in any way I can. Please, spare Devlin and his family from whatever revenge you want to inflict against the Wesleys. Those responsible for your suffering have long since passed away,” Amber implored, hoping to persuade him that revenge wouldn’t lead to any true solace.“Huh! You don’t know what you are talking about. Devlin’s father and brother were cut from the same cloth. His brother, a well-known attorney, had a history of engaging in questionable, under-the-table transactions. Similarly, his father was involved in illicit activities, such as smuggling high-value art pieces and selling them on the black market for exorbitant sums. And you know what I did to them?” He paused with a wild look on his face. Amber was scared but tried to appear calm from the outside.“I r

Amber managed to maintain her composure despite the turbulent thoughts the photo album had stirred within her. She didn’t want Devlin to become even more concerned. With a deep breath, she turned away from her sleeping husband. As they settled into bed, Devlin quickly succumbed to exhaustion, his peaceful slumber an indication of how much he needed rest.Amber couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that those old photographs held a deeper significance in her life that she could fathom. Her grandmother had grown up in an orphanage, and so was Devlin’s grandmother. The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, causing her to gasp in astonishment.Could it be possible that their guy also spent his early years in the same orphanage as their grandmothers? The mere thought sent her heart racing, and she found it nearly impossible to contain her curiosity.Questions swirled in Amber’s mind. What secrets lay hidden in their shared past that had shaped their ‘guy’ into the man he is right n

After Dalton and Raven left, Devlin received a call from Agent Smith.“Hello, Agent Smith. How’s everything going? How far along are you with the investigation?” Devlin inquired immediately.“I think it’s better for you to come here Mr. Wesley. I have both good news and bad news for you,” Agent Smith’s voice sounded grim.“Oh, alright. I was actually planning to come earlier as soon as we arrived here with my wife. However, we had unexpected guests to take care of,” He didn’t waste time explaining further. He wanted to know exactly what was happening with the investigation.“Is everything alright? You looked so serious,” Amber asked Devlin, who was unusually quiet. “We need to head over to Agent Smith. He has some news about the investigation,” Devlin replied, his expression grave.Amber didn’t waste time on further questions. “Of course. Let’s go find out what’s going on.”They quickly made their way to where Agent Smith and his team were staying. As they entered the room, they coul
