Author's pov When Amber's grandma couldn't open the door, she kept knocking. “Why can't you open the door? You are the one who asked me to leave and now you are calling my name. Stop kidding me,” she said and stood at the door. When she didn't hear Amber's voice again. She hit the door heavily. “Amber….” She screamed. Her heart immediately raced as she had no idea of what was happening to Amber. The door was so strong that she was too fragile to give it a heavy kick. It was at this moment she heard a knock on the front door. Her first inclination was maybe it was one of the women who took care of her. “Joyce, please come inside. Amber has locked herself inside her room and she is not talking to me, and she has been calling for help!” She said quickly. The front door burst open and when she asked for a few seconds, Dave was rushing to her. “What happened to Amber?” He quickly asked. Instead of talking, her grandma involuntarily reacted and pointed at her room door. “Insid
Author's pov Adrian hadn't finished reading Amber's message when his phone fell from his hands. “Oh my god! Where is Amber?” He raised his voice.He was initially shocked and within a very short period of time, he became enraged and as he was about to stand up, James quickly said, “But sir, you are…”James wanted to emphasize the fact that he was taking treatment only for him to get a push from Adrian. “How could you have allowed what happened to happen to me?” He widened his eyes and some of the things that were fixed on his body fell off. His rage attracted one of the doctors attending to him. He rushed in and opened the door. When the doctor saw his anger, he stood afar and used his hands to demonstrate, “Please, consider yourself healthy first. Please!” The doctor in a white lab suit continued to please. “Don't tell me that. Come and take the things away from my body.” “Okay, we will…but,” he wanted to say something, but Adrian opened his eyes and pointed at him.
Author’s pov Adrian lifted his heavy eyes away from the phone screen and blinked his eyes. He took a deep breath and as he was opening his eyes, he caught a glance of James’s eyes on him through the rear mirror. His eyes looked apprehensive and he quickly said, “James!” Adrian shook his head while at the same time lowered his face. When he raised up his face, he asked James, “Tell me what you know and how it all happened? My main concern right now is to get Amber back into my life. But James, I am disappointed in you. You let down your guards James. Why will you allow all of this to happen to me and you know that I was drugged?” He raised his voice. “Sir..Sir, I became aware when Amber came home.” “You mean Amber saw me naked?” Adrian interrupted, but James couldn’t answer out of fear. “Answer me,” he hit the seat with both hands and in the process, his head almost touched the roof of the car as he applied great force. “Yes. But Sir, I tried to stop you when Merit was
Author's pov Adrian didn't or was very impatient to allow the car to finally stop in the front of the hospital where his dad was receiving treatment before opening the door of the car. Immediately the car halted he rushed down and he didn't even wait for James to remove the car key from the mouth of the car. The intensity of his pace became very noticeable when he placed his feet on the hospital's floor. There was a striking sound of his hard Italian black shoes as he walked towards the intensive care unit of the hospital. Adrian was having one thing in me, to take his mom out of the room and asked her a direct question regarding what happened to him. When he got into the room, his dad was awake and he was chatting with his wife. “Adrian!” His dad called out with excitement. Then his eyes were on the door that Adrian didn't close. Adrian couldn't connect while his dad was conscious of the door and he thought that it was because he forgot to close it. Then James entered and cl
Amber's pov My grandma has refused to tell me who damaged my door. It's been almost a full day and she has refused to give me a hint. Why would someone come into the house and damage my door with a hammer? The more I reflected on it, the more I started remembering what happened. Yesterday, I remembered that I started losing breath and I started calling my grandma's name. “Oh!” I stood up at once. My grandma saved my life. I was sitting in the sitting room and my grandma was inside her room. She had just finished bathing when I entered the room. Her towel was still around her chest. “Amber!” she said aloud as she wasn't expecting me and I opened the door without a knock. She was on call and her phone fell from her hand as she was startled by me. She quickly picked up her call, maybe she ended the call because of me or probably the call had ended. I didn't border if my grandma was hiding something from me. I went and sat on her bed and I said, “Grandma, thank you so much for wh
Adrian's pov What have I done to myself or which is correct, what have my mum and I done to my dad? Why can't I control my anger and take my mom out of the hospital entirely before confronting her about her plans with Merit? Because of our argument, my dad's condition had deteriorated. Will I be the cause of the death of my own father? That thought would live and never leave my memories. Oh my god, please help me. What will be happening in the operating room right now? Is my dad responding? For the first time in my life, I have a dislike for my mom. She has deliberately stood in front of my happiness and now, causing me to lose my dad. I will never forgive her. What about myself? Will I forgive myself? I was so confused that these haunting thoughts made me walk out of the hospital and James was keeping a close eye on me. The time was 10pm and the operation on my dad started about thirty minutes ago. One of the doctors told me that it would last about two hours. Will I be able
Lola's pov It has been about forty-eight hours since I left Adrian's dad at the hospital. Whenever I’m awake, I can’t stop thinking about Mr. Morgan. My time at the hospital really brought us closer. In the absence of his wife and Adrian, he shared old memories with me—stories of how he started his life, how his first girlfriend broke his heart because he didn’t have much back then. Looking at Mr. Morgan now, one of the most prosperous men in the country, you’d never imagine there was a time he was just an ordinary man. I can’t help but smile, remembering the funny jokes he used to tell. His presence in my life filled the void left by my own father. If not for Adrian's behavior, I would have been there with him. Guilt weighs on me, as if I failed in my responsibility. I can’t bear to see Adrian or even hear his voice. Even listening to him on the phone, without replying, brings me to tears. That’s why I can’t bring myself to answer his calls. Maybe, with time, my heart will heal,
Adrian’s pov I felt like I had frozen water all over my body when Amber’s grandma spoke to me. The way she put her words wouldn’t leave my mind so quickly. She looked at me with so much disdain, like someone who had never spoken to me before. I know her granddaughter must have told her everything that happened, but all she knew was false. “Amber has gone to where she had found rest,” she snapped. “And where did she go?” I quickly asked her grandma and all of this took place a few minutes ago. “Of course you should know by now, her ex husband, but they have settled their misunderstanding. She spent a night there and I doubt if she will come back today…” I couldn’t remember what she added to those words. I was stunned. My lips left themselves. Why will she do such a thing? I didn't know what to think about. Dave was someone that I can command to wherever that pleases me, but when it comes to love, it's all about the decision of Amber. Why will she take such a drastic decision?
