Amber Pov I've been standing beside the road and waiting for a taxi but I have been waiting here for almost an hour and I still couldn't get a taxi or even an SUV to ride on. I'm already feeling nervous because I'm standing alone on the side of the road waiting for a ride. The taxi in this area only seldom stop because when they pass here they already have passengers on board. No jeeps pass through this area because only private cars, taxis, and SUVs pass through this area. I'm really unlucky because here comes the heavy rain pouring down little by little. I felt annoyed because there was nothing I could shelter in this area. If I cross the road back to the park, it's even scarier there because it's dark. I don't know why the local government doesn't put a street light in that park. I think this is the only park I know that doesn't have lights at night. Maybe because there are only a few people who visit that park because they only had three slides that children can use to enjoy.
Amber Pov I woke up when I felt something warm and soft touch my lips. Someone is kissing me! I immediately remembered what happened before I lost consciousness. Thinking that the person kissing me was one of the men chasing me before I passed out, I suddenly scratched his face and freak out. I heard him moaning but I didn't care. I just continued to scratch him as I screamed in panic but I didn't manage to hurt him again. "Get away from me! You monster! Get away from me!" I screamed with my eyes closed. "Amber, calm down. It's me, Phil." I heard that familiar voice of a man. I stopped attacking him as my eyes opened. "P-Phil," I said his name. My tears immediately fell as I hugged him tightly. I temporarily forgot what I saw about him and Bovic. The only thing I feel now is that I am happy that he was the person I saw when I opened my eyes and not those men who were chasing me. "Ssh... it's okay. You're safe now. They didn't succeed in the evil they planned to do against you,
Amber Pov After I almost got kidnapped, Grandpa Fidel never let me leave the house without a car again. Even though I objected, he still let his grandson buy another car so that when my car is coded, I will have another car to use. It was a good thing that Karen wasn't here because she was at her uncle's house. She was busy reviewing for her upcoming exam so she decided to stay at her uncle's house first to focus on her examination. Because her uncle's house is closer than Phil's house so less hassle for her and she has more time to review her lessons. I was very grateful when Karen was temporarily gone from the house because no one was bothering me. But if she finds out what I did to Phil, she will definitely come home to fight me even though I didn't mean what happened. My world was temporarily silent without her. I frowned when a car stopped in front of Phil's house. I thought Karen has come home. But when she knocked on the door and I opened it because I was in the living ro
Amber Pov"Are you okay, Amber?"I was surprised when Migz snapped his two fingers in front of my face. I was with him in a restaurant inside a mall because I agreed when he invited me to have a date with him. There was no class because it was weekend today so I agreed to go with him. And most of all to get my mind off of Phil who completely stopped paying attention to me.I don't know what he is busy with because he is always not at home. He is often hot-headed and sometimes even yells at the maids over a small matter. He no longer sleeps in our room. He was sleeping in the guest room which he made his room now.Fortunately, Grandpa is not here. Because Aunt Aloha took him and brought him to Canada so he could take a vacation. If only Grandpa could see how Phil treated me, he would surely scold his grandson and also becomes heartbroken. And that's what we are avoiding happening. Making angry or feeling worried too much is bad for his heart.I don't know why Phil always seems to have
Amber Pov After my last conversation with Phil, I locked myself in my room. I still couldn't believe that he could do that to me. It seems like we don't have a good time together. I have locked myself in my room for a week and Chel only brings me food. Sometimes I didn't eat the food she brought because I really have no appetite. But when I feel hungry, I only taste a little then I'm already full. Our school has a five-day sports festival so it's okay that I didn't go to school. I didn't answer Mildy's text messages and calls, so I know that she must be worried about me now. But I don't feel like talking to anyone right now. All I want to do is lie down and sleep in my bed. Even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't bear to do it. I am afraid that Phil will really do what he said. It's okay with me if he cancels the scholarship given to me by their foundation, but I can't afford to pay a huge amount for breaching the contract, especially going to jail. I can't imagine myself inside a
Amber Pov"Nikki!!!" I happily ran towards the man who was sitting on a chair inside a restaurant and was waiting for me. He is Nikky, one of my two best friends. Nikky, Mildy, and I have been friends since my first year of high school. Even though Mildy and he were both rich and I was poor, that did not hinder our friendship. But two years ago, Nikky's family migrated to another country so he had no choice but to join his family and leave us. And since then, he hasn't been on vacation in the country that's why I was so happy to see him again."Amber!" Nikky muttered my name while smiling. He stood up and greeted me with a tight hug."I missed you. How are you now? Why did you just go on vacation in our country? Does Mildy know that you are now here?" I asked him incoherently.Nikky laughed softly and raised both hands as if surrendering to me."Just one question at a time, Amber. The enemy is weak," he joked to me and then hugged me again.Nikky used to be my protector when my rich c
Amber PovI immediately packed my clothes when I reached home. I only had a few clothes when I came back to this house so they will surely fit inside a small hand carry bag. I will leave the clothes I bought with the money Phil gave me because I didn't buy them with my own money.I couldn't hold my tears from falling while packing my clothes. My chest feels very heavy. So this is the feeling when you are disappointed in love. When the person you love can't love you back. It's heavy, painful, and has a tight chest. And if I didn't let it out, it seemed like my chest would burst with so much pain.After I put my things inside my hand-carry bag, I sat on the edge of the bed. Crying, I caressed the side of the bed that Phil was occupying.Phil doesn't know that it's hard for me to sleep at night because he's next to me in bed even though we're only a foot apart. Because his bed is too big and could fit five people, so there is a distance between the two of us. Nevertheless, I am still af
Amber PovAfter what happened to us that night, Phil returned to treating me well. We never mentioned our agreement again. I thought we didn't need that anymore because Phil and I were in a real relationship now. And now, we are not only husband and wife in front of his grandfather but we are husband and wife in the true sense of that word.Karen's face always couldn't be painted by a great painter every time she saw me and Phil being lovey-dovey. It's obvious on her face that she is very jealous that Phil was being so gentle and sweet with me. I guess she couldn't stand seeing us loving each other anymore so she decided to live in her uncle's house for the meantime. So there is no snooping around and no eyes watching me and waiting for me to make a mistake in my behavior."What do you want for breakfast?" Phil asked softly as he wrapped his arms around my waist and lay on the bed.I smile and seductively stare at him. "Can I just eat you as my breakfast?"His smile widened when he he
