Amber PovI had a headache when I woke up the next day. It's like my head was splitting in so much pain. I opened my eyes and discovered that Phil was no longer in our bed. I closed my eyes again and shook my head because I felt a little dizzy.I got up lazily and just sat on the bed. But later, I suddenly ran into the bathroom as if my stomach was being dug up.I flushed almost all of my stomach contents into the toilet. But I only vomited sour water because my stomach had nothing but alcohol from last night. I didn't even eat dinner last night because of what happened at the party. That Bovic is really annoying. She will find ways to embarrass me in front of many people. Fortunately, my night in shining armor arrived in the character of Phil.I suddenly stopped when I remembered Phil. It was our first time drinking last night together and I wanted to treasure those moments in my memory but apparently, I don't remember much of what happened. All I remember is that we had a drink and
Amber Pov I immediately apologized to Grandpa Fidel and Aunt Aloha for what happened at the party last night. I don't want that because of that incident Grandpa Fidel will treat me differently and Aunt Aloha treated me with rudeness again. "I'm really sorry, Grandpa Fidel. Aunt Aloha. I really didn't mean what happened," no matter how much they scold me, I will accept it. It's my fault too because I wasn't careful. It must have occurred to me that Bovic was going to do something bad so I should have avoided her. "Don't worry because we're not mad at you, Amber. It's not your fault because you're the victim here," Grandpa answered me. I feel like crying with joy. Grandfather Fidel was very kind to me. Even though I sullied their name, he did not scold me but instead sided with me. "I'm sorry too, Aunt Aloha. Because of me, you were embarrassed at the party," I apologized to her again. Aunt Aloha took a deep sigh before she answered me. "I'm also guilty for what happened to you.
Amber PovI was about to enter our room when Karen called my name. I didn't notice that she followed me to our room. I frowned at her. "What do you need?" I asked her. I was obviously forced to talk to her. "Tell me, Amber. You knew that Pao's toy cockroach had fallen into one of the four iced tea glasses you were carrying but you just pretended not to notice. Then you made sure that the cockroach glass will end up with me so I can drink it, right?"I clapped softly because she guessed what I did earlier. Did she think that she was the only one who knew how to think of a scheme? Well, she was wrong. Because I know it too. But she started it so she shouldn't blame me."You're good, Karen. You guessed what really happened," I smirked at her."How dare you scheme on me!" Karen shouted angrily. She tried to slap me but I quickly blocked her hand. "You think you're the only one who knows how to play dirty tricks, Karen?" "They will find out what you did, Amber. Grandpa and Phil w
Amber PovAunt Aloha and I scream strongly together when we were showered with bullets by people in a black car following us. "Who the hell are they?" she asked trembling with fear as she bowed her head slightly in fear of being hit by a bullet. "Do you have a huge arrears with other people? Did you owe a huge amount of money to someone that you didn't pay so they want to kill you, Amber?" "I don't know who they are, Aunt Aloha. And I don't have any arrears or debts to other people so I don't know why they want to kill us," I quickly answered her. We scream again when the car following us rained bullets on us again. "Hurry up, Amber! They're going to catch up with us!" Aunt Aloha screamed in fear am panic. The road my car was on was wide and had just been opened, so there weren't many vehicles passing by. Cars can race on this road because there are no enforcers who are watching. But I'm not used to driving a car that fast. I am afraid that I might not be able to control the st
Amber Pov A low moan escaped my lips as I regained consciousness. "Amber. Are you awake? How are you? Tell me where it hurts?" I heard Phil's worried voice. Even before I opened my eyes, he was talking to me. I slowly opened my eyes. Despite the pain in my body, I still felt happy when I saw him standing next to me and holding one of my hands. I was secretly thrilled when he brought my hand to his lips and gently kissed the back of my palm. "Phil," my voice hoarsely said his name. "Do you feel any pain in your body? Tell me and I will call a doctor," the concern still did not disappear from his face but the happiness to see me awake was also visible on his face. I shook my head weakly. My body hurt as if I had been beaten by ten people and the part of my head also hurt because there was a wound but Phil had nothing to worry about because the pain was tolerable. I think I got the wounds on my head because my head was bumped into the glass window of my car. "I thought I would
Amber PovAfter I got out of the hospital, Phil wouldn't let me leave the house for the time being. He insisted that it was too dangerous for me to go out especially when I'm alone. He doesn't want to repeat what happened to me especially if I go out alone in the house. Because the police have not yet caught the people riding in the black car who attempted to kill Aunt Aloha and me.At first, I was amused by Phil's seeming restraint and showing so much concern for me. Without complaint, I followed what he wanted. But as time went on I got too bored inside the house. I do nothing but watch television, eat, read a pocketbook, and sleep. This daily routine got me bored."I know you're bored inside the house, Amber. Do you want to go out and have some fun?" Grandpa asked me while we were sitting on the couch eating banana cue cooked by butler slash chef Felix."Yes, Gran. I'm really bored. But Phil's sermon will definitely rain on me when he finds out I didn't follow him," I answered him
Amber PovPhil remains silent until we reach our house. But I can feel his pent-up anger towards me. I want to talk to him but it seems that he doesn't want to start a conversation with me so I remain silent. He entered the house first and went straight to our room. I didn't follow him inside our room immediately because I was too tense with his behavior. But I can't just stay here outside the room and keep on standing just like a security guard. So I took a deep breath and decided to go inside. I have to face his anger. He probably won't hurt me physically just because I went out even though he ordered that I can't go out because my situation is dangerous right now. When I entered our room, I found Phil drinking wine while standing near the bed. I slowly walked to the bed. I was very careful not to make any noise with my feet as if a monster would wake up if I made even the slightest sound. That's why when Phil spoke, I was really surprised and suddenly sat on the edge of the bed
Amber Pov "I'm leaving, Grandpa," I said goodbye to Grandpa Fidel, I took my bag and slung it over my shoulder then I walked out of the house. "Always be careful when you're driving, Amber," Grandpa reminded me. "Yes, Grandpa. Don't worry. I'll be careful," I answered loudly for him to hear. I smiled while approaching my car. I feel like I really have a family now. I have now someone who cared for me. Someone who reminded me to always be careful and to go home early. Unlike when I am living with my mom's second family, I never heard her tell me to be careful. I never felt she cared for me. I secretly wish that I will remain like this forever. That Phil and I are a real couple so we don't have to separate after the contract. But I know that someday, I have to wake up from my beautiful dream. I wish that I will find someone who will truly care for me. Who will remind me to be careful every time I will go out or go to school? It's been a week since classes resumed so I'm going to sch
