Dave was completely clueless about the situation. He believed that Gwen had accidentally dropped the spoon from her hand.

"Sorry dear," he quickly said. Meanwhile, Adrian's attention shifted to Amber, attempting to hold her fingers and assist her in sitting down. As Dave raised his head and glanced at the person sitting close to Adrian, his lips involuntarily parted. All these events were unfolding simultaneously.

"We've been waiting for you," Adrian said with a warm smile, unable to take his eyes off Amber's beautiful silver gown, which exposed her off-shoulder.

"I'm so sorry. I wanted to look good for you," she said with a sexy winked smile.

"You're already beautiful. What would you wear to enhance your pretty face?" He gave her a quick kiss on the lips, and they both turned their attention to Dave and Gwen.

This was an absolute shock for Dave and Gwen, and they felt as if their chairs were engulfed in flames, making them very uncomfortable.

    Author's pov Amber intended to retaliate against Dave and Gwen for their past actions, but what was about to unfold might not bode well for either of them. Adrian's facial expressions prevented Amber from leaving. She couldn't express her joy at gaining Adrian's approval, as Adrian strongly disapproved of everything they had put her through. Now, Adrian's concern was how Dave and Gwen had treated the love of his life. "I told you to go to your room." Adrian said again. "But don't harm them. I brought them here as witnesses of what happened to me. I didn't bring them here for you to harm them.” "I promise I won't harm them, but I don't understand the kind of heart you have.” Adrian said, his tone and looks reflecting his anger. Amber couldn't disobey Adrian's command, even though it felt harsh. She left the presence of the three of them and went to her room, her heart pounding. This wasn't what she had expected. "If you didn't want to provoke Adrian, you shouldn't have invit

    James' pov I'm feeling quite anxious about how to spend my first day off, all because of Anita. The day was brightening up, and as I lay on the bed, I couldn't stop thinking about the best way to approach her. If my boss had assigned me to deliver an official message to her, it would have been much easier. I don't understand why I haven't been able to control myself since the first day I laid eyes on her. Should I visit her office today? How should I respond if she asks why I came to see her? Wouldn't she be embarrassed if she knew I was trying to woo her? Unable to lie back down, I sat at the edge of my bed, contemplating both realistic and unrealistic strategies to win her over. Wouldn't it be helpful to know how she spends her time, from her parents' home to her workplace? I quieted my thoughts for a moment and gradually realized that if I knew her daily routine, I could better plan my approach. The days have been counting since my boss informed me about what he observed on

  • Learning To Love Again With My Boss   Your presence annoys me

    Author's pov Dave and Gwen resembled drenched geese in a heavy rainstorm. Their faces were cold, and all they could manage was either a timid "sorry, sir" or a submissive "yes, sir" in response to Adrian's words after Amber had left the dining table. Not only were they surprised by how things had turned against them, but they were also utterly bewildered. Nonetheless, they had no choice but to carry out Adrian's order or they would face the consequences. "Fail to comply with my orders, and you'll experience my wrath," Adrian warned, pointing towards the doorpost before dismissing the both of them. Gwen took the lead as fast as her legs could work, heading towards the door, with Dave following suit. Adrian's guards promptly entered the room upon hearing their boss' escalating voice. Two guards accompanied Dave and Gwen out of the building, and they hastily made their way to their car, driving out of the premises. Gwen's fingers fidgeted nervously while they were still within A

  • Learning To Love Again With My Boss   I Want to Blindfold You

    Amber’s pov There has been a significant change since Adrian fell in love with me. Now I realize how precious I am to him as his girlfriend. I've also noticed that falling in love is often accompanied by funny and sweet dreams. Some say that dreams occur when you are truly in love with someone, while others believe they stem from thoughts of that person before falling asleep. Either explanation could be true, because I am already deeply in love with Adrian and he occupies my thoughts constantly. Ever since Gwen and Dave came to this house, Adrian has been reluctant to share what transpired when he asked me to leave. Does this imply that my presence prevented him from taking action regarding what they both did to me? No matter how I approached the question, all he did was plant a kiss on my lips. Once his soft, adorable lips met mine, I found myself yearning for more of him. It was Friday morning, and for over three days, Adrian and I hadn't gone to work. Our home was filled with

  • Learning To Love Again With My Boss   Is this your boyfriend?

    Amber's pov Is this a game of love or something? Adrian knows how to make me happy, but we haven't been out of the house like this before. It's always been indoor games. My eyes were closed, and I couldn't stop smiling. Adrian and I were sitting in the back seat, and I don't even know what kind of car we got into because he blindfolded me before we left. Did he forget to blindfold me initially when we first came out of the house, or did the thought just occur to him as we were about to leave? "Where are we going?" I asked, unable to estimate the time and distance we had covered in the darkness. "I'm taking you somewhere familiar. Just relax," he replied. "Relax while my eyes are closed?” I asked and then started laughing. "Should I guess where we're going?" I asked as I felt his touch on my lap. "A hotel?" "Nope." "I don't think you will be able to guess correctly. All I want you to do is stay calm and expect..." He paused. "I thought you wanted to say something." "Ja

    Amber’s pov When my grandmother said that my boyfriend resembled my mother, I glanced at his face and chuckled. "Grandma, you have a keen eye. There's a slight resemblance, but this is Mr. Adrian Morgan." Both Adrian and I laughed, embracing my grandma once more. "I don't know when I'll see both of you again. I want us to take some pictures." My grandma was right. It wouldn't be easy to bring Adrian to my grandma's house as I had hoped. We all gathered around her, with me standing on the right and Adrian on the left. With beautiful smiles on our faces, we took several pictures. It was truly a joyful occasion, as my grandma had persistently asked me to introduce her to my boyfriend. We went inside and shared glasses of wine, and I could see the joy in her eyes. It was evident how our presence had brought her immense happiness. As we prepared to leave after spending about an hour, my grandma asked, "Amber, how is the company going?"Adrian quickly looked at me and this had be

    Author's pov Anita, an intelligent and adorable woman, was 27 years old and the eldest daughter of the Charleston family. The Charlestons were somewhat renowned, similar to the Morgans. Due to business connections, their paths had crossed with the Morgan corporation. Anita's parents, known as Mr. and Mrs. Charleston, had appointed her to oversee the administrative aspect of their company. One evening, as Anita followed her usual routine, she arrived home after leaving her office. Upon entering the house, she found her mother in the living room. "Welcome, my dear," her mother greeted, and Anita reciprocated with a kiss on her mother's cheek. "Where is Dad?" Anita asked. "He's inside, probably taking a bath," her mother replied. Just as Anita was about to leave the sitting room, Rebecca, their maid, entered. "Good evening..." "I'm hungry. Please prepare my food on the dining table. I'm about to go and take my bath," Anita swiftly instructed Rebecca before heading to her r

    Author's pov Anita has always been a workaholic, ever since her parents instilled in her the belief that she needed to possess such a trait to manage their family business. As a result, her internal body clock naturally wakes her up promptly at 5 am every single day, regardless of whether or not she wants to go to work. She rose from her bed and prepared herself for the day's tasks. She took a shower, tidied her hair, and even checked her laptop for mails that needed urgent response. After breakfast, she wondered aloud, "when will James call me?" She constantly glanced at her wristwatch. The time was 7:30 am, and she assumed James wouldn't call anymore. Just as she was about to come out of her house, her phone rang. "Hello, Anita! How was your night?" James' voice on the other end greeted her. "It was lovely! I thought you wouldn't call again. I usually leave so early to grab the food you want us to buy together," she replied. "At this very moment, I'm calling you from

She stared at Adrian, her face full of confusion and frustration.“What kind of confession is this, on your wedding day? People are waiting!” Her voice was sharp, but beneath the anger was fear—fear of what was coming next.Adrian’s expression was cold and unyielding. He didn’t react as the guests whispered, casting curious and judgemental glances."Amber and I... we’re not blood-related." His voice cut through the murmurs, and the crowd instantly fell silent. He turned to his mother, the woman he had always trusted. "Who did you sleep with to have me?"Gasps rippled through the hall, and Mrs Morgan’s face turned pale as if all life had left her."Me?" She laughed, but it was hollow, full of disbelief. "You’re mad, Adrian! Is this your twisted confession?"Before she could continue, Adrian handed her an envelope, his fingers trembling slightly. "This is the DNA test. I ran it several times."Her

    Amber's pov Did Adrian just say in his last statement that he will be spending a night with me here alone at the hotel? What does he want? He has so much emotion for me. Can't he control it? Despite suppressing my emotions for him, I still love him. I was still holding my phone when it rang again and it was Adrian. “Hello…” I said. “I'm still waiting for your address. I kept my promise. What are you waiting for? I'm ready to enter my car and drive out of the house. At this point, I was having one question in mind to ask him, but my tongue was too heavy to say it. “Are you coming here to…?” I stopped and thankfully he knew what I meant and he started laughing. “Your voice turned me on. It's not a matter of coming there or holding your precious fingers. I have something to tell you. We need to talk. I miss you and I want to have a nice time with my sister. Whatever angle you want it to be, I will be. But there is something I will never do, I will never force you against

    Author’s pov Two white cars suddenly stopped in front of Amber’s grandma’s house and it was in the evening. The doors of the car at the back opened and Mrs Morgan and her friend, Merit’s mom came out of the car after the guards had opened the doors for them. They walked majestical towards the front door and one of the men guarding them knocked on the door. The first person that came out to open the door was a lady, one of those ladies that assisted Amber’s grandma. “Are you related to Amber?” Mrs Morgan asked with a cruel voice, putting great fear into the young lady. “No, I am here to do some housekeeping.” “Where is Amber’s grandma?” This time, it was Nora that asked this question. “She is inside,” she slightly trembled and went inside. They stood at the door post and when Amber’s grandma came out, her age demanded respect and in turn, she welcomed them by saying, “What are my guests doing at the mouth of the door? Please come inside.”Nora wanted to reject the offer of

    Amber's pov Adrian walked up to me while I was in the room. Then he said, “I just received a call from the laboratory and they have informed me that the result is out.” My heart raced as we both stood at the edge of uncertainty. We neither know if it will be positive or negative. The laboratory center we went to was one of the sophisticated centers in the country. They were equipped with modern technologies. So, any test that was done there was often done with different testing techniques. “Will you inform your dad?” I asked as my voice started to crack out of tension. I felt more panicked than anything I have had in my entire life. It drew a line of separation between Adrian and I. I love Adrian and nothing apart from blood related could stop us from being together. “Get dressed, we need to go and collect the result.” Adrian said and kissed my forehead. I went to my wardrobe and by this time, I had already taken my bath. What will I wear? Does this occasion require speci

    Author's pov “Flora, when are you going to inform Dora about your new plan?” Nora asked. They were outside, under a well spread white umbrella at Nora's house. “I will tell her once my son gives me a meaningful answer. Since I told her about my plan, he said he would get back to me. I love Dora and I want her to be part of my family.” Nora took a sip from her glass of blue wine and after she carefully placed the cup on the table, he said, “Your husband's infidelity has become a blessing in disguise. If your husband hasn't cheated on you, you wouldn't be able to achieve or say what you are demanding.” Flora shrugged and sighed. “He disappointed me. I could swear that he can't do something like that. If I had listened to my thoughts, I would have found out before now. I saw their closeness and I wondered what was happening. My husband Mut had known that Amber was his daughter. I am thinking he knew about it when he was sick at the hospital.” “Flora, that reminds me, what

    Amber's pov When I held the lab report in my hands and carefully read the result word for word, I was astounded to see that Mr Morgan is my biological father. How come? Is there anything my grandma is hiding from me or my late mom is hiding from me? I didn't know what to think about? This information has thrown me upside down. I didn't know where to place my thoughts. If my grandma knew about it, why had she not told me all this while? Does that mean that Adrian is my half-brother? I came down from the cab and walked into the house and I felt like an ordinary paper that the wind could blow off. “Grandma,” I paused as I saw her picking up her phone call. I was so deep in thought that I didn't pay attention to my grandma's conversation over the phone. “Amber!” She called and I turned my eyes towards her. “Why are you looking at me like this? Has…” “Grandma, do you really know my dad?” “Your dad? You mean your late date?” She asked. “Yes. What about my mom? Do you

    Author's pov “Why did you lie to me that I will leave here today?” Mrs Morgan said angrily and it was only her friend that was in her room. She had been hostile with her words, and even more angry when she saw Amber. “That was what the doctor said initially.” Then the ringing of Mrs Morgan's phone stopped her friend from speaking. “Your husband is calling you.” “I can't speak to someone that I'm angry at.” Flora said to her friend. “We only have one night to stay at the hospital. It's for your own good. At home in Mr Morgan's house, he was very worried. He had been calling his wife, but she had refused to pick up her call. Mr Morgan was first in his new room downstairs. He had been told by the doctors not to stress himself. So climbing the stairs was seen as stress. He walked out of his room and came to his private sitting room. The first time his eyes saw was the wall clock. “It's about 7pm and my wife has refused to pick up my call. Is there something that everyone is

    Author's pov When the lab scientist said, “congratulations…” Mrs Morgan's heart raced as she didn't know why he was congratulating her. Does he know why she came to do the paternity test initially? He doesn't know, so when he said congratulations, Mrs Morgan was confused. Instead of saying it verbally at first, the man handed her the result on an envelope. “Congratulations on what?” She could still remember these words as the last moment and when the lab scientist said, “Mr Morgan is the father of your daughter.” Mrs Morgan lost it and she fell unconscious. “Doctor!” Nora, her close friend shouted.

She only told me she will get back to me.” Mrs Williams raised her face and looked at her daughter, who was putting on a very short skirt and a white top. It was in the evening and through the window, they could see the sun settling down. “How long will she get back to you?” She spoke with so much anger and after pacing the right side of the sitting room, she stopped and stood behind one of the couches. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Her mom asked, as Merit’s anger could be seen all over her body. “If you were very serious with what I told you, you would have expressed your anger towards her. How will she disgrace me in front of Adrian and her girlfriend? It’s so embarrassing.” “Are you sure Mrs Morgan did the things you have told me?” “She cannot deny it.” “When all of this wa
