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
Amber PovI was restless as I sat on the edge of the bed in our room. "Our room" because Phil and I have been sleeping in the same room again since we confessed our true feelings for each other. We live together as real husband and wife.It was my 20th birthday today and we talked about celebrating outside. We will eat at a fine restaurant and then will go to watch a movie. Phil wanted to have a party at home for my birthday celebration but I refused him. For me, it's just an extra expense. After all, I don't have any guests to invite aside from Mildy and Nikky because they are the only ones who really know that I am married. But I haven't told them yet that Phil and I are not just pretending to be a couple but we are now living together as a real couple. Most of my friends in school thought that I am still single. So I couldn't invite them to if I arrange a party in our house. They will be shocked once they know that I am already married to a handsome and rich man. As for Migz, I
Amber PovSince Pao seemed sad that his uncle didn't take him with him when he left, I decided to take the child with me. "Do you want to go out and eat with me in a restaurant, Pao?" I asked the boy smiling.Even though he is the son of the woman I hate, I still feel good about him. Just because I'm mad at his mother doesn't mean I should be mad at him too. The child doesn't know anything about the bad things his mother is doing so I shouldn't take out my anger on him. I feel pity for the child because his mother doesn't care about him sincerely. His mother just using him to get his uncle."Really, Aunt Amber? Will you take me with you?" he happily asked me. I nodded at him with a smile then I grabbed his hand and pulled him up."I will," I nod at him. "Wait for me here. I'm just going to inform Felix that I will take you out with me in case they will look for you."After I informed Felix that Pao will go with me, we immediately left the house. I told him that Pao will go with me so
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
