AMBER’S POVIt felt as if my whole world, burned as my favorite book was burning and I could only watch in tears and a broken heart. “Now, it’s all done.” He said as he moved closer to me.“But you know, you are indebted to me. My camera helped you escape the brink of death. You should appreciate me, and you will do that, obviously, by doing whatever I want, or I’ll kill you myself.” Joey threatened, close to my ears.I shivered, wondering what exactly the things I was going to do for him, were. I hoped that they were not the things that would bring me closer to trouble.~The next day, I was woken up by Joey’s knock, which wasn’t that loud, but sharp enough for me to hear. I could have ignored, but he was sharp enough to have noticed that I had woken up after his knock, due to the change in my breath, and all. I was going to be dead meat if I pretended to still be asleep.I stood up to open the door and when I did, he dashed in and closed the door, quietly.“We are going somewhere.
AMBER’S POVFear gripped me and I didn’t know what to do. Now that Aramis and Brandon whom Joey didn’t want them to know about this, were now in the sitting room, what were we going to tell them?I looked at Joey’s hand. The camera was right in his hand, and his brothers had clearly seen it. There was no way out of this, anymore.“So, you went ahead to take pictures with your camera, again, right? Despite telling you to quit this useless hobby of yours!” Brandon shouted.Although, they were triplets, but Brandon seemed more like the older one, and he was respected for the way he handled things. It was certain that Brandon was going to destroy the camera, with his kind of expression, right now, and all those pictures that were taken, would go to waste.Just as I felt so bad when Joey burned my favorite book, I knew it was going to hurt him, if his camera was broken. I wasn’t as wicked as him, so I wasn’t happy about that. Just before Joey could speak, I interrupted.“It’s me.” I said,
AMBER'S POVWhen I opened my eyes, I was in my room and I sat up immediately and checked around to be sure I was really in my room. I stood up and checked myself to see if the scratches from the woods the previous night were still there. But there was nothing there, even if there was something, it would have healed.How did I get to my room? I knew for sure that it couldn't be a dream just because I fainted and the next minute, I woke in my room. Then my door opened and I almost backed into the wall in shock. It was Joey and he came to me.I bowed to him and he sat on my bed and patted the spot next to me, meaning I should sit.I sat gently as faraway as I could and he looked at my arm."The scratches healed pretty well, they were rather deep." He said and I looked at my arms." Did... Did you save..." I started to ask and he looked at me."Thank you." He said and I looked shocked because I couldn't believe he was thanking me. What was he thanking me for?"For what? You saved me." I s
AMBER'S POV"Oh my God." I whispered as Joey took off silently and jumped out my window. The door opened fully but I was still looking out the window, then I turned sharply and saw Brandon looking at me with that cold look in his eyes. "Why do you look so scared?" He asked and I bowed to him and went to my drawing of family and hid it behind me."I'm... I'm not scared Young Master, I was just startled."I said and saw his eyes go towards the drawing. "Drop whatever is in your hands and bake some cookies for me now." He said and left my room and I waited for a few seconds before checking down the window for Joey but I didn't see him anywhere there.I kept the drawing away in my drawer and left my room quickly for the kitchen.I brought out the things I needed to bake cookies and began to relax as I saw all was well. Then I watched Brandon who was watching a channel on the television and I wondered why he had to be so cold. Going to his company had made me see him in a new light. All t
CHAPTER 17Amber's POV"Uhm...it's...since today is....uh..Joey's...ohh sorry...I mean...you all..." I couldn't help but stutter due to the menacing glare he threw at me. It was more like an inquisitive glare."Use your words and stop stuttering." He mumbled as he walked into the kitchen fully, his gaze solely on the cake.I gulped down nothing....damn...his aura was choky, my chest tightened as I leaned on the kitchen cabinet, searching for the right words to utter."It's Joey's cake!" I summoned up courage to say and he threw me a sharp glare as I instantly looked away. There was something about those eyes of his, it possesed an intimidating charisma, one to be acknowledged. "Wow!" He said as he folded his hands, titling his head. If I heard that exclamation correctly, it wasn't a tone laced with compliment, more like a sarcastic tone. Gosh!! I couldn't even look him in the eye as I just stood, shimmering under his intense gaze as I fiddled with my fingers, my ears raised up in cu
CHAPTER 18Amber's POV Reliving a hurtful memory from one's past is traumatic. A memory I wished never happened, a memory I wished I had gone with instead of my brother.As we ran, my hair seemed to obey the due caution of the wind as the chilly air crashed on my skin, making me feel giddy.Minutes later, we had stopped running but strolled side by side but still I couldn't help but reflect on that memory. No matter how much I tried pushing the thought away, it kept coming back and I was stuck with it.I wasn't completely aware of the things going on around me but I could hear the clicking on Joey's camera as he captured pictures. I bumped into something hard and rocky and I stumbled back and almost fell but I felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist.It was then I looked up to realise what was going on. Joey's pair of eyes were staring down at me, a glint of confusion in them. I bumped into him obviously, since I was oblivious of my surroundings. "Are you okay?" He asked in a calm
CHAPTER 19Amber's POV "What?" He yelled, letting go of my feet. "After all my warnings....what do you take me for?" He yelled, gripping my throat with blood shot eyes."I'm sorry...it was all my fault." I pleaded as he almost choked life out of me."You went against my orders!! Be ready to face the consequences." He spat angrily as fear gripped me."Have you suddenly gone dumb?" He yelled, bringing me out of my imagination as I flinched.It was all my imagination, I couldn't bring myself to say that in reality or I was bursted.I bite my lips, trying to supress the pain as tears rolled out of my eyes."Nope...its nothing." I said nervously as I tried getting up but he held my feet firmly, giving me an inquisitive look. I was cornered."Uhh....glasses....broken glasses pierced into my flesh at the mansion's kitchen." I lied, hoping he would buy it."Why did you have to be so careless?" He scolded as he lifted me up, taking me to sit on a couch in his office.It was good I was able to
CHAPTER 20Amber's POV Aramis stood by the doorway, his hands inserted in his pocket, a stern expression on his face. He began taking slow but dangerous steps to Diana as she withdrew her hand slowly, moving back in fear. "Does she look well to you?" He asked, tilting his head to a side slightly as he threw her a menacing stare. Diana seemed taken aback by his reaction. Well, if I said I wasn't shocked by his reaction then it would be a blatant lie. I never expected him to react that way. On a normal note, he would have scolded me and ordered me to do what ever she wants but this was the direct opposite of the usuals. Or was it because of my injury I recieved sympathy? Could there still be a little bit of compassion in their icy hearts? Or did she offend them in any way and they are just using me to get back at her? If no! Why then did they neglect her cake last night and instead chose to celebrate with mine?"What do you mean?" Diana asked, totally confused. "She is injured and
CHAPTER 60: AMBER'S POVWhy that tone..? It seemed possesive, it was also laced with a bit of jealousy and rage. Their stern gaze remained on me as my lips quivered slightly, finding the right words to use. For a moment, I threw Diana a swift glance to find her fuming, her fist clenched as she eyed me in distaste.“Why does all this sounds like an excuse to me?” She suddenly voiced out as the triplets turned to glare at her sharply. She flinched but went on with the crap she was saying. “Don't believe her lies. I said she confessed to me this morning that she actually went out to meet a guy and they had an intimate session. Amber…why are you saying something different now…? You were pleading with me earlier to forgive you for using me to cover up for your deeds….” She paused as fake tears slipped down her eyes. “And I forgave you, you promised never to do it again, so why are u doing this again…?” She asked, her tone croaky with fake tears as my eyes litted up in amusement. The
CHAPTER 59: AMBER'S POV I shut my eyes close as hot tears ran down my cheeks. I was slowly loosing hope, the more I thought about how Brandon threatened me last night, the more I lost hope as I became helpless. “And who says we won't believe you…?” Aramis asked, tilting his head slightly as I rose my head up. His intense gaze was boring deep into my soul as I averted my gaze, taking my lips in as usual as I began fiddling with my nails. I always felt nervous around them as memories of how he caged me in the kitchen flashed through my head in a split second. I almost blushed but I restrained myself, he claimed that he just found a pickle on my hair. They was nothing so special about that, a part of my heart seemed to shatter at that thought.“You all find it hard to believe any thing I say and I've got no proof, all what I utter seems like a lie so I've got no choice than to just admit it. But I'm promising you that it won't happen again. I won't step out at night anymore. Please d
CHAPTER 58: AMBER'S POVI lay on the cold floor as I watched as Diana lips quivered slightly. The triplets were really angered by Alpha Gerald's visit and they knew he couldn't just pay them a visit out of the blues. And they were sure that Diana might have informed him about this. Well, they guessed right because she was actually the one who informed him about it.“Have you suddenly gone deaf…?” Joey roared in rage, his jaw clinching as his eyes twitched. Diana flinched, avoiding his ruthless gaze as she fiddled with her nails. Inwardly, I loved the way she trembled in their presence but I was no different from her, mine was much worse.“I informed June about it.” Diana suddenly blurted out, as she fluttered her eyes close, tears streaming down her face. She knew the triplets weren't going to take this easy on her.“How dare you…?” Brandon muttered in a low but dangerous tone as Diana took in her lips.“You said you were going to torture her until she begs for death and she was al
CHAPTER 57: AMBER'S POVMy chest tightened as I felt a huge lump in my throat. The air around me felt choky as I struggled to breathe. My life was at their mercy and their choice alone determines my fate.But I was slowly beginning to accept reality, all hope was lost. I was nothing compared to their befitting title. How can anyone one in their right senses think of choosing me over such an enormous and ambiguous title. I obviously didn't stand a chance, it would be better I just lay back in the trunk and flutter my eyes close because their choice was so clear.Should that even be a question…?My eyes fluttered close slowly, already accepting fate as tears streamed down my eyes. No doubt!! I was returning back to the pack with Alpha Gerald and my existence is going to end there for sure. I doubt if I can spend more than a day in that pack. June has also sworn that if I ever returned, she was going to make my life miserable. But I was helpless, anywhere I turned to, I always had an
CHAPTER 56: AMBER'S POVI felt suffocated in the boot as my body shook greatly as darkness loomed over me. I was about to get sucked back into those tragic memories when I heard him roar the engine to life, throwing me out of it for a while as the car began moving. My unending tears kept spilling as I wailed, my mouth was clogged so I couldn't make a sound. He finally got me and there was no chance to escape right now, I was doomed and it was time to face real hell.I heard the tyres screech loudly, coming to a halt as my tears ceased a bit, my eyes widened in uncertainty. What could have caused the sudden halt…? I was definitely sure that we were still in the mansion, we hadn't arrived at the pack yet, that was impossible.I couldn't see anything but I was paying attention to the sounds around me. The engine was turned off and I heard several engines roaring in the distance as my brows creased in confusion.Soon, the engines were also turned off as the slamming of doors followed ne
CHAPTER 55: DIANA'S POVI laughed out maniacally, rubbing my palms wickedly, I was enjoying every bits of this. Finally, my plans were all working out now and I'm finally going to have the triplets to myself. My gaze narrowed darkly as my heart kept fluttering with excitement as I glanced over at Amber to see her trembling greatly as tears cascaded down her face. It was time to face her doom and I so much loved the look on her face.It felt like I should just take a memorial picture of her at that moment, since I might not be seeing her ever again. I summoned the guards to open up the dungeon gates as they pulled her out of it, ignoring her weak struggles.The fact that she was weak made things so easy and smooth for me and I took advantage of her vulnerability. I knew my plans will eventually work out one day. I just had to sit and plan it well, it was smooth, one without fault and trace and no proof she tried to bring to the table could save her from this. I made sure to do a good
CHAPTER 54: AMBER'S POVI felt my heart exploding in terror as Diana laughed out wickedly. No…this wasn't true, this can't be happening again. Oh my goodness!! Does fate have to be this cruel to me….? I've dreaded this day after he promised that he was going to get me back. I knew it….I knew that he was never the type to back down. When he says he will do something, he will and he won't stop until he gets what he wants. And once he arrives, the triplets won't try to stop him from taking me away, they hated me now. I was useless to them and they think I played them for a fool.They might singlehandedly hand me to him. I shuddered at the thought as Diana's laughter gradually seized.“You might be wondering…why the sudden plan to come get you now that this happened?....well…who do you think is behind all this..?” She mumbled with a smirk as my head clicked. She of course…she was a cruel witch.“You informed him about this right..?” I managed to ask, my heart was thumping loudly at the
CHAPTER 53: AMBER'S POVI found myself back at the gory scene, staring horrifically at my brother's lifeless body as thick blood oozed out from his chest. I tried to shout but my own voice got stuck in my throat as my lips trembled greatly. “Brother…” I heard myself call out in a whispher , my tone croaky and full of uncertainty, like I didn't want to believe the fact that he was gone. Tears slowly escaped my eyes as I pushed open the door of the car as I crawled out, my lips quivering. I was still yet to come to terms with reality. This should be a nightmare right? It can't be real…it just can't be.I struggled to stand to my feet but it seemed impossible, I felt powerless, I felt compressed as I added more strength, determined to rise up. As I lay on the cold floor I heard the snarling of a beast as my heart increased its pace. It charges towards me and my eyes fluttered open as usual. That's how it always ends. I gasped out as I woke up in a start, drenched in sweat as I felt
CHAPTER 52: Amber's POV He blurted out as my ears tinged in suprise, still yet to understand what he really meant by that or maybe I understood but it was hard to come to terms with. My eyes widened in shock, dreading their next move as I slowly backed away.The triplets smirks grew wider as Diana also had a smug smile, tugging at her lips. Brandon began walking closer to me, I couldn't help but take few steps back in terror. What were they planning to do to me..? “It seems we've been too lenient with you that's why you think you can just mess with us and go scott free huh!!” He growled menacingly,veins threat to pop out from his neck as he super sped to me, instantly gripping me by the throat as I shuddered in shock. He lifted me off the ground with his strong grip as I tried to wriggle out of his strong hold, he was suffocating me and my lungs was out of air as I began pleading with him.“Read my lips Amber…I'm going to make you beg for death!!” He growled darkly, his eyes dev
