Amber Pov When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. I thought that I didn't survive the accident that happened so I'm in heaven now because I am already dead. "Oh, my God! Am I really dead?" I couldn't help but muttered as I looked at the white ceiling. But I frowned suddenly when I saw a small lizard pass by on the ceiling. "Even lizards can reach heaven?" I heard soft laughter from two people. Voices of a woman and a man. "I think your brain has been damaged so it seems like you're going crazy, Amber," the woman with Mildy's voice spoke to me. I looked at the woman who spoke and was happy to see Mildy and Nikky standing near the door. "Are you dead too? Why? What happened to you that you died?" I asked them with wide eyes. "Amber's acting is kind of worrying, Nikky. It's not funny anymore. Hurry up and call a doctor," Mildy ordered Nikky, the smile on their lips disappeared and their faces were replaced with worry. "Doctor? I'm inside the hospital a
Amber PovThree days after I woke up I was discharged from the hospital. The doctors didn't even want to let me go but I insisted on getting out. Nikky brought me to his condo because I still didn't want to go home until I die andn't be able to speak to Phil. I can't temporarily live in Mildy's apartment because she has returned to their house and I can't live in her apartment by myself. In my condition now, I need to have someone with me at home because the doctor said that I am not allowed to move too much yet. Because I still get a little dizzy when I try to move normally.While I was in the hospital Phil didn't bother to contact me even once. So I thought he was still mad at me until now that's why he didn't contact me. Or did he even try to find me? Maybe he didn't notice that I didn't come home for how many days because his attention was only focused on his niece whom he loves so much. I think he even loves his nephew more than his life."Why are you sad, Amber? Do you feel any
Amber PovWith tears in my eyes, I explain to Nikky what had happened that makes me walk out of Phil's house while crying. He was very angry after he heard my story. He wanted to go and confront Phil about what I saw but I quickly stopped him. I don't want to look even more pathetic in front of Phil and Bovic so I let my friend just bring me back to his condo.After we went back to Nikky's condo, I quickly locked myself in my room inside his condo. I released all the pain I was feeling by crying. I punched the pillow and screamed so loud to lessen the heavy weight in my chest. If I didn't do that I might not be able to breathe. My chest is tight because I feel so much pain.I never thought Phil could hurt me like this. He fooled me. He made me believe that he doesn't love Bovic. He made me believe that he loves me. But it turns out that he doesn't really love me because the girl he loves was Bovic. He only restrains himself because she was his sister-in-law. And I, a big fool who bel
Amber Pov Even though it was hard, I tried hard to forget Phil. But forgetting him is not an easy thing to do. Because no matter how hard I try to forget him, I really can't bring myself to do it. But I can say that the good thing that happened to me is that the old Amber came back. That brave and carefree Amber that my two friends know. And I also don't cry anymore if Phil comes to my mind. Maybe I'm starting to learn of forgetting him. "Wake up, Amber! We're going to be late for work," Mildy's voice spoke loudly to me from outside my room. It's been more than two months since Phil and I broke up. Well, we're not officially separated yet because I haven't signed the divorce papers. We've just gone our separate ways. He still hasn't sent me our divorce papers for me to sign. I did not contact him to ask why our divorce papers have not been sent to me until now. I don't want us to have any more connections. We are not separated in the eyes of the law but for me, we are already separ
Amber Pov Suddenly, my heart beat faster when I saw that Phil was the new owner of the Sunshine Shopping Mall where Mildy and I currently working. Except for his slightly plump cheeks, his appearance hasn't changed since I left. He is still handsome and has a strong sex appeal. So I can't blame my co-workers if they get excited looking at Phil because even though we've been together for a few months, my heart still beats faster every time I see him including now. And it's not a good sign for me. Wake up, Amber! What is happening to you? You must have forgotten that he hurt you, a small voice inside my mind reminded me. I quickly shook my head to shake off any feelings and thoughts that were resurfacing when I saw Phil. It can't be. I must stop my heart from seeming to ruminate. I must remember that we are separated and he hurt me so much so we can't get back together especially now that he has Bovic and her son in his life. I don't want to be redundant in his life again. Phil didn
Amber PovIt's almost eight o'clock in the evening but I'm still not dressed. I just lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling. If I had to choose, I really don't want to attend the dinner party organized by Phil for our department. I don't want to see him anymore because the hurt he did to my feelings was still fresh in my heart and mind. But who would have thought that he would be our new boss? The saying "small world" is really true because Phil and I crossed paths again.I was still staring at the ceiling when the door to my room opened and Mildy entered. Like me, she still hasn't changed her clothes."What are you doing, Amber? Why aren't you dressed yet? Are you waiting for hundreds of lizards to pass by on the ceiling?" she immediately asked and sat next to me. "Are we going or not?"I just stared at the ceiling for a few moments before I took a deep breath."Okay. I'm going to get dressed so get dressed too," I told her. I got up and went to the cabinet to get some clothes to
Amber Pov "You look so beautiful, Amber," Melvin complimented me when I entered the room where everyone was complete and I was the only employee who entered late in the room. Melvin is assigned to Eau D' Perfume and is opposite to my post so we often talk when there are no customers. "I agree with what you said, Melvin. Her makeup is very simple but she's still stunning," Mildy said. I laughed secretly because my friend just wanted to annoy Harlen who couldn't hide the frown on her face. No one complimented and noticed her appearance while mine did. "Sit down, Amber," our manager spoke to me. I immediately sat in the empty seat. I was unlucky because the only vacant seat was the one next to Harlen. And she is next to Phil. But at least I'm not next to Phil. Because I definitely wouldn't be able to swallow the food if he was sitting next to me. "That must have intensified your admiration for Amber, Melvin," one of our co-workers teased Melvin. "Why don't you court her? You will
Amber PovBefore I could answer Melvin, I was preceded by Phil's voice from behind me. When I looked at him, I saw that his face was serious and his eyes were narrowed while looking at me. "Do you need anything from Amber, Sir Salvatore? Why don't you just tell her now?" Melvin asked Phil with a serious face. It seemed that he didn't like that Phil will take me home and he had no intention of letting me go with our boss even though he had no right to me.If Melvin didn't seem to like the idea that I will go with our boss, Phil also seems to hate the idea that I will go with Melvin. For sure, he hates that idea not because he is jealous but because he doesn't want to lose his employee. But they didn't know that I don't want to go with any one of them. "Yes, you're right...uuhmm..."Phil stopped speaking and furrowed his forehead as if wondering what was the name of the employee in front of him. "Melvin Sanchez, Sir," Melvin immediately mentioned his full name when he saw that Phi
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
