Amber’s pov

Adrian's fascination with me has sparked his desire to delve into my past life, a secret I've kept hidden especially since Dave would be coming to our house.

"Darling, let's take things one step at a time. It was I who suggested inviting Dave. Having lost both my parents, I'm cautious about revisiting my past. Please, be patient."

"If you truly know me, you'd understand that patience isn't my strongest virtue. I want everything just the way I need it. Why should I wait? Are you afraid of me?" he asked, as we neared the end of our ice cream.

"Why don't we go on the picnic you mentioned? Time is against us, and we haven't done your daily shoulder exercises.” I needed to change the subject, and though I could see his dissatisfaction, tomorrow was Dave's day to come, and I had saved everything for tomorrow.

Little did I know, time was no longer on our side. This meant I couldn't prepare my own meal for the picnic, and we would have to resort to buying fast food at th

    Amber’s pov It's never wise to judge someone from a distance. This holds true for my new relationship with Adrian. Adrian is the most amusing and charming guy I've ever met. I often wonder how different life would be if I hadn't encountered this beautiful soul. Despite the cold water, Adrian's playful nature kept me going and wanting more. If someone had told me that the person I met when I first entered his house was the same person, I would have denied it. As we left the water, I noticed that Adrian could effortlessly move and rotate his previously injured shoulder, which is now completely healed. His hand rested on my waist as we approached the building, and he asked, "Darling, I'm feeling better, but you haven't mentioned your wish yet. Or how will I pay you?" I immediately replied, "Stop saying that. I'm overjoyed to see you move your hand without any pain." He persisted, "How can I show my appreciation? Don't hesitate to tell me what would make you happy. You made me fee

    Author's pov The next morning, Adrian was the first to awaken, gently uncovering himself from the blanket and planting a tender kiss on Amber's cheek as she slumbered. After changing out of his nightgown, he dressed in a different clothes and went out of the room. Adrian was about to embark on a new experience. He made his way directly to the kitchen, his mind filled with thoughts of Amber's favorite meal. Donning an apron, he began his culinary endeavor. The sound of a gas burner filled the kitchen as Adrian walked in. "Who could possibly be here before me?" The cook wondered, feeling at ease as he entered. But when he caught a glimpse of his boss' back, his heart raced. "Sir, are you the one cooking? What have I done wrong? Did I start too late? Furthermore, the day outside is still unclear," he blurted out anxiously, then he felt that Adrian was angry with him for trying to prepare his own food. "Mr. Carlos, I am here to prepare something special for my beloved. She dese

    Author's pov "How long will it take you to get ready?" Dave raised his voice after sitting on the couch for over twenty minutes, waiting for Gwen to finish dressing in the bedroom. As he awaited a response from Gwen, he muttered to himself while glancing at the wall clock. "It's nearly 5 pm. When are we going to Adrian's house? I don't even know why Adrian asked me to bring my girlfriend," he whispered slowly and quietly, ensuring Gwen wouldn't overhear. "We're going to the home of a prominent man, Mr. Adrian. I can't take any chances. I need to dress elegantly. There will certainly be photos taken there. Dave doesn't know that all the pictures I take will be uploaded online," she thought. She was almost dressed, giving her face a final touch with a brush. Standing in front of the mirror, she smiled. The gown she wore reviewed her cleavage, and she moved her body to ensure her breasts shook and seduced. "What are you still doing? It's already ten minutes past five. When are w

    Author's pov 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. "Dave, meet

    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

    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

    The hall was thick with tension as Mrs Morgan’s voice shook, her emotions barely in check. 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.

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.

    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. The lab scientist and Nora rushed her into one of the wards and they immediately started to resuscitate her. “Flora!” Nora shouted as one of the nurses told her to leave the room. The envelope was in Nora's hands as she came out of the room and stayed outside. “Oh my god, please Flora, you need to wake up. Who will I call now?” She asked herself. “I need to tell…” she pause

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
