The moment they landed in Seattle, they immediately went to the mansion that Devlin had purchased a long time ago for his future family. Amber stood at the entrance, her eyes widening as she took in the grandeur of the place. The mansion’s architecture exuded a timeless elegance, and the surrounding garden seemed to stretch endlessly, adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery.

She thought that nothing can beat the grandiosity of Devlin’s mansion in New York but this huge place truly is incomparable. It has just captured Amber’s heart.

As they stepped inside, Amber’s breath caught in her throat. The interior was nothing short of breathtaking. A sweeping staircase adorned with intricate carvings led to the upper floors. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm and inviting glow over the spacious foyer. The walls were adorned with exquisite paintings, each telling a story of its own.

    Amber got herself ready to go to Devlin’s company. She remembered that he had to fix some issues in his company today. However, she wanted to go to him. She left the mansion with her driver. And another car was following her with several bodyguards inside. Devlin would never let Amber go out without them. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she contemplated the situation. She understood Devlin's genuine concern, acknowledging that her adjustment to this level of protection was a work in progress. Reflecting on her life in New York, she recalled the freedom of moving about independently, unburdened by thoughts of potential danger or looming threats. While their current circumstances posed challenges, she refrained from voicing any complaints. Their safety is more important right now.The car stopped just right in front of Devlin’s company. She was riding the latest model of a known luxury car. When she got out and headed to the building, all eyes were on her. The guards did not recognize

    “Don’t you think this is another move from your enemy? It’s undoubtedly an inside job,” Amber stated, with a voice of apprehension. The realization that their adversary might be someone Devlin had placed trust in was unsettling. The proximity of their unknown enemy added a layer of unease to their predicament, making it all the more challenging to identify the mastermind behind these actions.“I’ve been waiting for years to uncover this person’s identity, and it’s been nothing short of frustrating,” Devlin admitted. Shifting the topic slightly, he continued, “By the way, I received a call from Abby. She’s coming tonight to discuss her investigation. She’s found a lead, although nothing is certain at this point. I just wanted her to come to see what she got for us.” Devlin held onto a sense of hope for any potential breakthroughs in the investigation.“It’s good to hear that Abby’s making progress,” Amber said, breaking the sudden silence between them. “We’ve been hitting dead ends for

She couldn’t help but smile at his vulnerability in sleep, a stark contrast to the confident and strong man he was when awake.With a gentle touch, she traced the lines on his forehead, her fingertips barely grazing his skin.

Amber felt like an outsider, caught in the middle of a reunion that held mixed emotions.As they moved to the living room, Devlin’s mother couldn't help but steal glances at Amber.

She tried to put on a pleasant facade, but her eyes revealed a deeper unease.Devlin’s father, on the other hand, was quieter, carrying a weight of regret. He had missed out on so much of his son’s life, and now that they were finally face-to-face again, he struggled to find the right words.

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.

    “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.

    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.
