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
Amber Pov I kept taking secret deep sighs as I sat next to Phil who was driving the car. I also often glance at him when he's not looking at me. I feel restless. I'm close to our school but until now I still haven't been able to tell him that I'll be home late later because I'll be attending the small party that Migz prepared at the restaurant that's right next to our school. He told us that he had already made a reservation at the restaurant. It would be a shame if I didn't show up because already gave them my promise, Migz has already paid for the restaurant too. Because the payment is per head at the restaurant where we will eat later so it's embarrassing if I will not going to attend since he already paid for my food too. I don't know what Phil had eaten and suddenly he decided to drive me to school today. And I don't even know if he will pick me up after school. When his car stopped in front of the school gate, I closed my eyes and took another deep breath to brace myself. I h
Amber Pov After our class for the last subject of this day, we went to the restaurant that Migz had reserved for all of his classmates who will attend the small gathering for his birthday. There were only twenty of us in the class but seven said they couldn't attend so only thirteen of us went to the restaurant to celebrate Migz's birthday. The restaurant Migz had chosen was great. It has a great ambiance. We can drink inside because the entire restaurant is reserved just for Migz's birthday. It's really different when a person is rich. They can reserve an entire restaurant just to celebrate their birthday.Almost half of the restaurant is glass-walled so we can clearly see people passing by outside. I chose to seat where I could see busy people outside the restaurant.We sang a birthday song to Migz and he blew out the candle before we started eating. The food served in front of us was so delicious that I was sure I could eat a lot tonight. Unlike the foods at the party of Mrs. Per
Amber PovI have no choice but to bring Phil along and introduce him to my classmates. But I gave him one condition. I will introduce him to my classmates not as my husband but as my cousin. The reason I gave him was our contract. We are just a couple in front of his family and some situations. But in front of my classmates Phil and I don't have to pretend that we are a couple. My classmates shouldn't know that I am married even if it is just a contract marriage or a fake marriage because no one will have the courage to like or date me in the future because they know that I am already married. So Phil has also no choice but to agree to my condition."Migz, is it okay if my cousin will join us?" I asked my classmate when I returned to our table and Phil was with me. "Because I live at their house and he wants me to go home so I'm just making him wait until we're done," I explained to them. "Yes, of course," Migz answered quickly. He stood up and pulled out a chair for Phil to sit on
Amber Pov After talking with Migz, we went back to our table together. I was surprised to see that Phil was very drunk. "What happened to him? Why is he so drunk?" I asked Mildy as I sat back in my seat. I was only gone for about half an hour and when I came back I found Phil very drunk. He easily got drunk. Maybe he has low alcohol tolerance. "It's not our fault that your cousin got drunk, Amber. When you left, he almost finished the wine he bought," Henry answered my question to Mildy. "Amber, you're already here. What did you and Migz do in the bathroom and it take so long for the two of you to get back here?" Phil asked me, his eyes were slightly closed from being so drunk. But it is impressive that even though he is very drunk, he still could speak straight. "Guys, I will go home first. You saw my cousin, I have to take him home," I said goodbye to my classmates. "Happy birthday again, Migz. I am sorry for what my cousin had told you. Maybe he's going through some problem
Amber Pov If I had trouble getting Phil to his car I had even more trouble getting him to our room. Because he is too mischievous and I am worried that we might fall down the stairs. So when I finally got him into our room it was like a heavy thing was lifted from of my chest. I am also thankful that all the maids were already in their rooms and resting when we arrived. They didn't see Phil acting like a child because he was so drunk. Phil will certainly lose his face in front of all the maids when they see him acting far from his everyday behavior. "Amber," Phil muttered softly as he plopped down on top of the bed. "Don't make any noise and just sleep well," I told him even though I knew what I was going to say wouldn't register in his brain. I smiled when I saw that the bunny's headband was still on his head. He will surely be surprised when he wakes up the next day and finds herself wearing a pink headband.I couldn't help but laugh before I walk to the bathroom and took a hal
Amber PovWhen I woke up the next day, Phil was still sound asleep in his position. I immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower while he was still asleep. I already finished taking a shower but he was still asleep so I decided to go out of our room to make coffee.I was about to make Phil some soup but suddenly I changed my mind when I remembered that he put me hung up last night while we were in the middle of making love. So instead of cooking soup for him, I will just take care of myself.I was about to leave our room when I remembered the bracelet that Migz gave me last night. It was still in the pocket of my uniform and I forgot to take it. I immediately took my skirt from the laundry basket and get the bracelet and put it on my left wrist. Migz isn't here so he won't see and know that I wore the bracelet he gave me.I just want to try if the bracelet fits my hand. In my entire life, I have never worn expensive jewelry. But I will not wons this bracelet, I will return this
Amber PovIt's already past ten in the evening but Phil still hasn't come home. He often comes home before seven o'clock and we eat together before eight o'clock in the evening. But now he is still out. He didn't say that he would be late coming home because when he has a dinner meeting, he tells me or Grandpa that he will come home late so that we don't have to wait for him to eat. I can't help but worry about him even more especially now that the kidnapping people is circulating everywhere. Even though they only kidnap girls who are about my age, what if they have changed their minds and they want to kidnap people like Phil because their organs are definitely healthy?I tried to call Phil on his cell phone but he didn't answer. I felt more and more worried about him.I decided to go out of our room to see if he had arrived. I didn't turn on the light anymore because I had memorized every corner of the house. I didn't think I would be able to memorize Phil's house so quickly even t
