Amber Pov"Are you all right, Grandpa?" I asked Grandpa Fidel worriedly as we got out of his car when we reached their house.After the commotion that happened earlier at the mall, Phil fired the father and daughter from their post. I, on the other hand, accompanied Grandpa to go home because he suddenly became weak after knowing the reason why Harlen and I fought.Phil wanted to go with his grandfather because he was worried about the old man's condition, but he had a meeting for the official dismissal of Harlen's father and then he was going to his other company, the Salvtore Conglomerate. He said that he has a meeting with the shareholders because his uncle Jigo is making another move to usurp his position.Uncle Jigo seems to be taking advantage of the fact that Phil is often away from the company because he was busy in the Sunshine Shopping Mall so he brainwashed the other shareholders in the company."I'm fine, Amber. Thank you for taking me home. And I'm sorry because I've caus
Amber Pov"You're drunk so you better go home, Melvin. Let's talk later when you're sober," I shooed him away. I tried to hide the nervousness in my voice at the moment.Melvin laughed slightly when he heard what I said. "Really, Amber? You're going to talk to me when I'm sober? Who are you fooling? You're even avoiding me and now you're going to say that we'll when I'm sober? I think we could talk now because no one will disturb us, especially that arrogant Phil.""Please go, Melvin. If you don't leave I'll be forced to call the police," I threatened him. I took my cellphone from my bag and was about to dial the emergency number of the police but Melvin quickly approached me and grabbed my cellphone away from me. He threw my cellphone on the floor so I couldn't use it."You think I'm going to let that happen?" he asked me, a devilish smile formed on his lips. This time I saw him as a demon who wants to harm an innocent human. "You're only mine, Amber. And you'll be mine forever aft
Amber Pov After Phil and I got back together he transferred me from my work. He made me his personal assistant. I lived in his house again because that's what he wanted. Grandpa Fidel and Karen were happy because Phil and I finally got back together. I begged Phil that when we were at work our relationship would be boss-employee only so that I wouldn't be singled out. I'm afraid that everyone will look down on me because I don't fit in with him. At first, Phil was against it but eventually, he also agreed to what I wanted. As Phil's personal assistant, I do nothing but make him coffee, help his secretary organize documents when there is a meeting, and accompany him to the party events he goes to. It's like I'm just playing around and not working but he's paying me. Even though I'm not used to attending parties, I'm forcing myself to get used to it because Phil often attends events related to his business just like today. Phil attended a charity auction party and tag me along. In t
Amber PovI walked into the entrance's hotel to return to the party so Janina won't have a chance to seduce my husband when I suddenly stop walking. I feel that pair of eyes are staring at me. Actually, I felt that someone was staring at me the moment I stepped out of the hotel and walked to the garden. But I'm not the only one standing in the garden because some guests are also in there so no one may look at me unintentionally so I just ignore that feeling. But right now, I really feel that someone was staring at me only.I quickly turned around my eyes and scanned the people near me to see if one of them was looking at me. But I didn't see anyone who looked at me purposely. I shrugged my shoulders and took a deep sigh. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.I decided to continue to walk into the hotel but at the corner of my eyes, I suddenly saw a familiar figure looking at me. "Dad?" I quickly looked at him to see if he really was my dad. But the man suddenly turned his back on me.My hea
Amber PovJanina's face was all over the news because of her failed proposal to Phil. Many reports want to have an interview with Phil and me regarding the marriage proposal of the actress but Phil refused to speak to the public and also he didn't allow me to talk to any reporters. He said we are not celebrities so we don't need to explain to the public about the current issues that Janina was facing even if it involved them too.Phil asked me to stop being her assistant and stay in the house. She doesn't want me to feel awkward in the company because he knows that everyone in the company will know about us once they see us in the news.I followed what he wanted. I think staying in the house is not a bad thing. I will have more time to take care of Grandpa Fidel."What is this, Grandpa?" I asked Grandpa Fidel when he gave me a small box and told me to open it. I was busy helping Felix prepare our dinner when Grandpa asked me to go to his room. And when I entered his room I saw him si
Phil Pov I've been waiting for the person I'm meeting now but I've been waiting for him for almost an hour but he still hasn't shown up. I don't understand but I feel nervous. Maybe something bad happened to Ferrer that's why he's still not here. Ferrer is the detective I paid to investigate the accident nine years ago that killed my parents and Amber's father. I have a suspicion that it was a stage accident and not just a normal accident. Even if the police told me and Grandpa that what happened to my parents was purely an accident my instincts told me that it was not. And I need to investigate it to find out the truth. I've been investigating that accident for many but since I became the CEO of Grandpa's company I only had limited time to investigate so I hired a detective to do it. Ferrer is one of Alex's brother's friends and his brother referred him to me. A while ago, Ferrer called me and informed me that he discovered something new about the accident that I definitely di
Phil Pov "That's enough, Bro. You're already drunk. I'm going to take you home," Alex said when I was about to open another bottle of wine. I called him earlier and went to his house to have a drink. I want to drown myself in wine. I wanted to temporarily forget what I had discovered. "Don't stop me, Bro. This is the only way for me to temporarily forget about the problem I'm facing now." I continued opening the bottle of wine and poured it into my glass. I immediately drank the wine as if I was very thirsty. "Think about the people who are worried about you, Phil. Your grandfather and Amber. I'm sure they're both worried now because it's already dawn and you haven't come home yet, which you haven't done before. So stop drinking and I will take you to your house," Alex continued to convince me. A bitter smile crossed my lips when Alex mentioned Amber's name. "Amber," I said the name of the girl I love. Why is fate playing with us? When our relationship was going well, that was w
Amber Pov It was the day of my engagement party with Phil, so everyone at home was busy. Grandpa hired a team to decorate the large living room of the house. He wanted Phil and I to hold our engagement party at the hotel but the latter refused. Phil said it would be better if we just did it at home so that even if I was drunk, I could just go up to our room and rest immediately. After what happened when Phil came home drunk, he apologized to me and Grandpa. He said that he was just drunk and had a problem with the company, so I was the one who received his anger. Of course, Grandpa and I loved him so much so we immediately forgave him. Then he told us that he wanted us to have an engagement party so that he could officially introduce me to his business deals, business friends, and relatives who had not yet met me as his wife. He said we got married without having an engagement party so he wanted me to experience that kind of party. I wanted to help decorate the living room but Gr
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
