Amber PovMy body is getting weak and I'm still sweating profusely while leaning against the elevator door and facing Grandpa Fidel. It is not fear that can be seen on his face but concern. I know that he is still thinking about what might have been the result of the poll and that he is sure that he will not reach the meeting on time or worst he can't be able to attend the meeting. He was more concerned about the position Phil might lose than his own safety. "Relax yourself, Amber. I'm sure someone is already working on a way to open the elevator doors," Grandpa encouraged me when he saw my seemingly hopeless face. I am supposed to be the one who will be telling him that words but here he is, encouraging me and giving me hope. If Aunt Aloha and Karen will know this they will surely scold me from head to foot. "Grandpa, I'm having trouble breathing," I honestly told him as I held one hand across my chest. My vision is gradually getting darker. My plan to endure and hide my fear didn'
Amber Pov I didn't stay in the hospital for long because an hour after I woke up I was discharged. Except that I was still a little weak, I didn't feel anything bad in my body, so the doctor let me discharge from the hospital. There was silence in the car as we drove home to Phil's house. I wanted to ask him about the results of the voting that happened at his company but I hesitated to ask him. I am afraid to know that other shareholders have succeeded in ousting him from his seat. So instead of asking, I just kept quiet in my seat. But Phil seemed to be the one who couldn't stand the awkwardness so he broke the silence between us. "Why didn't you say you had a phobia of riding in elevators, Amber?" he asked me while occasionally glancing at me in the mirror inside the car. "I'm sorry. I had no intention of taking the elevator, so I didn't bother to tell you about that matter. When I accompanied Grandpa Fidel to your company, I lost my mind that we are definitely going to ride
Amber Pov "You should be careful when you leave the house, Amber. Uncle Jigo is getting impatient," Phil spoke to me when we entered our room. "What do you mean?" I asked him in confusion. "The sudden stop of the elevator where you and Grandpa were riding was not an accident. Someone intentionally stopped the elevator. That person intended to knock the elevator down and make it looks like an accident happened. A technical elevator accident" he told me the truth about the elevator incident. "You mean there is someone who deliberately wants to kill Grandpa and me? Or maybe Grandpa was his only target and I just get involved because I am with him, right?" I asked him with wide eyes. As I found out, my fear of riding in the elevator increased even more. Now I am a hundred percent sure that I won't ride an elevator for the rest of my life. "Yes," he quickly answered me. "And I guess that Uncle Jigo was behind that accident. I think when he found out that Grandpa was going to the compa
Amber Pov I couldn't stop smiling sweetly as I wiped Grandpa Fidel's arms with a wet face towel. Since earlier, he has praised me several times. He said his grandson was very lucky to have me as his wife because I am kind, beautiful, and above all caring. "Why don't you want to believe me that my grandson is very lucky that he married a woman like you, Amber?" Grandpa Fidel asked when he saw that I just laughed and shook my head when he praised me again. "Grandpa, you've told me that so many times, do you think I still don't believe what you're saying? I'm almost drowning in your praises so it's impossible for me not to believe what you're saying," I laughed at him. I stood up and rinsed the towel in a small basin with warm water. Because Grandpa's knees were hurt and he couldn't stand, so I just wiped him with a towel with warm water so he wouldn't get cold. "If he divorces you, I assure you that I will disown him as my grandson," said Grandpa. I don't know if he was just joki
Amber PovI couldn't help but feel proud after seeing how I looked wearing the gown that Aunt Aloha gave me. The gown fits my body shape. The fabric is very soft and it follows my every move. Chel did my makeup because I'm not very good at putting makeup on myself. And in fairness, she was hiding her talent for doing makeup because she did very well on my face. I think my beauty has been enhanced because of her simple makeup on me. I was surprised when I saw my face in the mirror after she applied makeup to my face. I didn't think I could look more beautiful with makeup. My hair and makeup are simple. My hair was tied up my head and Chel let a few strands of my hair fall on the sides of my cheeks. My nose seemed to look pointed even more when she applied the contour when it was just right only. She used bright pink for my blush and lipstick and I liked it very much. "You're so beautiful, Amber. I never thought you'd look more beautiful when you're doll up," Linda exclaimed admiringl
Amber Pov I couldn't stop staring at the face of Phil's uncle. I don't understand why he has a bad attitude while Grandpa Fidel, his father, is kind. Aunt Aloha, who also treated me badly at the beginning is now started to treat me nicely while this man in front of me has an untrustworthy face. And the longer I stare at him, I can't seem to see anything in common between him and Grandpa Fidel. Aunt Aloha's eyes and nose look like Grandpa and Phil who is his only grandson also has features obtained from him. But why does Grandpa's eldest son seem to have no features got from him? "I'm sorry but I'm looking for Aunt Aloha so I have to go, Mr. Salvatore," I apologized to him. And I was about to leave him when he suddenly grabbed my right arm. "Don't be rude, Amber. I'm still talking to you so don't turn your back on me," his voice was firm. It was obvious that he was holding himself back from raising his voice at me. "I'm not rude, Mr. Salvatore. If I'm rude to you then I shouldn't
Amber PovI felt a mixture of joy and shame when I saw that Phil was the owner of the arm that stopped the two guards from dragging me out of the party. I was happy because he was like a hero saving a damsel in distress princess. But I am also embarrassed by him because he saw me in such a shameful state."She ruined Mrs. Perez's birthday party, Phil. So it's only natural that she let someone to drags her out of the party," Bovic told Phil. I wanted to tell Phil that Bovic intensionally bumped into me that's why I fell on the floor and pulled the tablecloth. But it felt like there was something in my throat so I couldn't speak."She didn't ruin the party and you know who was to blame for why this happened, Bovic. Maybe you want us to review the CCTV footage here so we can find out if what Amber did was intentional or not? Or maybe there is a woman who just wants to embarrass her so she does dirty tricks." Phil's eyes narrowed and seemed to be holding back his anger.Bovic's face sud
Amber Pov I couldn't stop dreaming and hoping that maybe Phil has a special feeling for me as he dried my hair with a towel. Even if I stop it, the thrill I feel won't go away. And even though it was impossible, I secretly wished that Phil and I were a real couple. After he dried my hair with a towel, he took the hair dryer that was just on top of the dressing table. He dried my hair with a hair dryer. He spent almost an hour before my hair was completely dry. Then he took my comb and gently combed my hair. "Do you want to drink with me?" he asked me after combing my hair. "I get drunk quickly," I shyly answered him. "You're here in our room, so it's okay to get drunk and get wasted. When you're drunk, you will just lie in bed." I quickly nodded to him. I want to experience drinking and getting drunk with him. I sat on the edge of the bed while Phil took the empty glass and filled it with wine then handed it to me. He also poured wine into his glass because it was empty. "By
Amber PovI was lying on a cold floor when I woke up while my hands and feet were tied. I force myself to get up and sit on the floor. I was surprised when I saw Grandpa Fidel one meter away from me. Just like me, he was also lying on the floor with his hands and feet tied up. I quickly approached him to wake him up."Wake up, Grandpa. Wake up," I slightly shook his shoulder to wake him up.I scanned the place where we in and I think we were inside an old or abandoned warehouse.Grandpa Fidel finally opened his eyes and furrowed when she saw me. "Amber? What are you doing here? Did that bastard Jigo kidnap you too?" he asked me angrily."Calm down, Grandpa. Okay?" I quickly stopped him from getting angry. I'm worried that it worsened his health. "I was kidnapped by three men while I was on my way to my wedding. I didn't know who kidnapped me but since you said that you were kidnapped by Phil's uncle I guess that he was the person who ordered these men to kidnap me," I explained to him
Phil PovToday is Amber and Jared's wedding and also the day that my heart will die. Because I don't think I could love a woman just like how much I love Amber. My heart is hurting like hell thinking that it was really over between us. She will live happily with Jared and their future children while I am in pain and miserable."Instead of staying here and making yourself miserable; why don't you just go to the church and stop her wedding with that man? I'm sure Amber will choose you if you only show up now," Alex advises me."You don't know how much I wanted to go and stop their wedding but I can't do it," I replied while shaking my head."Why? Don't tell me that you can't accept her child with Jared?"I quickly shake my head. "It's not about that, Alex. You know the dangerous situation I'm facing right now. So I just have to let her get married to that man for her safety."Unbeknownst to Amber, I already talked with her father. Peter finds me and speaks with me without telling his d
Amber Pov I took one last glance at Mildy's apartment before walking out the gate. This apartment helped me a lot. It has been my home for several years. And starting tonight, I won't be able to sleep in this apartment because I'll be living in Jared's house after our wedding. "Are you really sure about your decision to marry Jared, Amber? Are you sure you won't regret it one day?" Mildy asked me when we got into her car. Her car was the bridal car I chose to take me to the church where Jared was waiting for me. "You think I'm not serious when I'm already wearing a wedding dress and going to the church to get married?" I answered her shaking my head. "What if Phil suddenly appears in the church and objects to your marriage with Jared? What would you do if that happened, Amber?" she asked me with a serious face. I took a deep breath before I answered her question." I closed the chapter of the book of my life with Phil, Mildy. And then ever since he found out I was pregnant and
Amber Pov When I opened my eyes, my child's condition immediately entered my mind. I quickly felt my stomach and if it still contained the child. I felt great concern for my baby when I remembered that I was suddenly bleeding as Phil forced me into his car. If something bad happens to my baby, I will never forgive him. "You are pregnant. Who is the father of that baby, Amber?" I looked to my right side when I heard Phil's cold voice. I was so worried about my future child that I didn't notice his presence in the room I was in. When I looked at Phil's face, his expression was blank. But even though I couldn't see his reaction on his face to what he discovered, I could feel the anger in his voice. Maybe he thinks that the child in my belly is my child with Jared and not his. He should think that way so he won't bother me anymore. "Don't worry because this child is not yours so you are safe from responsibility," I answered him in a cold voice. This time I saw an expression on hi
Amber Pov I couldn't believe it after hearing the truth from my father's mouth. He confessed everything to me and did not hide anything except the person who ordered him to kill Phil's parents. He said that he was afraid that he might suddenly disappear from the world and the whole truth would be buried with him so he mustered courage and finally showed up in front of me. He also confessed to me how he did to make everyone think that he was dead. According to my father's story, inside the car, both his bosses were fast asleep because the coffee he made and let them drink before they got in the car was mixed with sleeping pills. After the couple fell asleep he took them to the place where he was going to execute the plan of killing his two bosses. In a place where cars rarely pass by he brought them. In that same place, there is a big truck parked on the side of the road that he will use to deliberately crash into his boss's car while they are inside so that everyone will think that
Amber Pov "What did you just say, Phil?" I asked him. It was as if I suddenly became deaf to what he told me. "I said, YOUR FATHER KILLED MY PARENTS!" he repeated what he said emphatically. He even emphasized the words I would not believe. I gave him a hard slap. I will not allow him to speak and think badly of my father. "My dad won't kill people, Phil! So if you don't have anything nice to say, just leave us now!" I shouted at him. Phil's face darkened even more when I didn't believe what he said. He approached me and held my arm tightly. "Why, Amber? Are you hurt because I said that your father is a murderer? What about me? Wasn't I hurt when he killed my parents?" he asked me with angry eyes. I was about to open my mouth to contradict what he said but it didn't go through because my stomach suddenly hurt. I bent down slightly and held my stomach with one hand. "Dad, my stomach hurts," I said to my father. My Dad seems to know that I'm pregnant because he has a strange lo
Amber Pov I quickly covered Mildy's mouth with my palm because her voice got louder. "Can you lower your voice? Maybe someone will hear you," I frowned at her. Mildy immediately removed my palm from her mouth and raised an eyebrow at me. "We're here in the hospital room, so who can hear my voice except you and me? Besides, even if people out there hear that you're pregnant, they don't care because they don't know you, anyway." "Even so," I quickly answered my friend. "Does Jared know about your condition? And more importantly, does Phil know that you are pregnant with his child?" I nodded and then shook my head at the same time. "Jared just found out today that I'm pregnant and as for your second question, my answer is no. And like I told Jared, I have no intention of letting Phil know that he's going to have a baby with me," I answered with a serious face. Mildy shook her head. "So you're going to hide your child from its father?" I didn't say anything so Mildy made sure what
Amber Pov When I regained consciousness, I was already inside the hospital and lying on the hospital bed. I immediately felt my stomach which was not yet bulging, worrying that my baby might have been harmed. "Don't worry because your baby is safe," I heard Jared talking to me who had just entered the door and caught up with me checking my stomach. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard what he said but I was suddenly stunned when I realized that he already knew about my pregnancy. "I'm sorry for hiding the truth from you, Jared. But believe me, I never planned to marry you so my child will have a father. I also plan to tell you about my pregnancy when I'm ready to talk to you about this matter," I apologized to him. I can understand if he's going to stay away from me now that he finds out I'm pregnant and Phil is the father. Because not all men can wholeheartedly accept the child of another man or the woman they love. And maybe Jared is one of them. "I'd rather you let me be t
Amber Pov As Jared said, I stopped my nightlife first. I just stayed inside the apartment even though I was feeling very bored. I also bought vitamins for pregnant women that the doctor prescribed and followed her advice. I took care of myself not only for my sake but also for the sake of the baby in my womb. Jared doesn't know about Phil and I's future child yet. I don't know if I should admit it or not to him. I'm worried that he might not accept my baby with another man and raise the child as his own. Although I will feel sad if Jared couldn't accept the child I will feel more disappointed than sad. Because I think he is different from all men. He is not a judgmental person. But it's okay even if he doesn't accept my child because I won't be forced to marry him anymore. I only used him to hurt and make Phil see that I've moved on from him. But Jared thought that what I said was real and I couldn't tell him about it because he would surely get hurt so I had no choice but to g
