"This is so delicious" Amber said after the first bite as she briefly closed her eyes to savour the taste."I told you you were going to like it""Yeah, I love this. We should come here more often, babe""Sure!" His response was fast and he grinned at her while she was so engrossed in the meal."That would be if you would still be in your right senses after tonight" He thought.After they had finished eating, Adrian paid for the meal and they stepped out of the eatery. They had only taken few steps from the eatery when a black tinted car crossed them and before Adrian could say anything, two hefty looking men stepped out of the car with guns in their hands."Get in the car!" The first one yelled"NOW!" The second one added as they hesitated.Amber and Adrian rushed into the car and the car zoomed off at a very high speed. While they were in the car, one of the men brought out two pieces of cloth, gave one to the other man and they both blind folded Amber and Adrian.*It was late in t
Amber slowly regained consciousness and grunted as she felt a deep pain in her wrists and ankles, she tried to move but she was restricted by the ropes tied to her legs and hands. She tilted her neck to her left and saw Adrian who was also tied up and unconscious, she looked around and realized that they were alone."Adrian! Adrian! Look over here" She said in almost a whisper and Adrian slowly gained consciousness.Adrian's eyes brightened as he saw that Amber was tied up and he tried to get up to help her but realized that he is also tied."Calm down, Adrian. We need to find a way out of here""How did we get here? What do they want from us?""How am I supposed to know about that?" Amber snapped and Adrian bit his lower lip."Maybe you should mind link with Miss Peyton" Amber said after she thought for a while, forgetting that she could do it herself."Okay, let me give it a try" he said in a low tone"A try?" She sneered"I'm sorry but I've not mind linked with anyone since I had m
Maya raced to where Amber was and untied her and hugged her, Amber's eyes glistened with tears and she pushed Maya away and ran out of the place. Liza and Miss Peyton took the two men away while Maya walked up to where Adrian was and untied him."Thank you, ma'am" He mumbled after Maya untied him and he walked out of the place.Maya watched him as he retreated from the room with her brows raised and a lot running through her mind."Where did Amber go to?" Liza approached Maya and asked."I don't know, she just ran out""Something is wrong somewhere, I need to find her" Liza said and sprinted out of the room before Maya could utter any word.*Liza found Amber beside a small lake beside the place of incident, she was seated on the ground and weeping bitterly. Liza paused her steps as she saw the way she was crying and was confused on what had happened in there and approached her in a slow pace. She sat beside her and pulled her in for a hug, Amber's sobbing went louder and she let out
"What? How did that happen? Did mom plan this too?" Ignacio asked, already boiling with anger."Calm down, Ignacio. I just want you to know that I am on you side and Amber was never on my bad list, I just hated the fact that she was stronger but I can't do anything bad to her, knowing how much you love her""It doesn't matter if I love her anymore, she has moved on and she hates me so much for what happened back then""Maybe so you think, you can't make conclusions for her. Do you think she would still chose Adrian after she finds out all the bad he has done to her?""Do you know why he planned the kidnap?""I don't know yet but all I know was that mom was furious when she heard the new so I guess she didn't plan it and maybe we can get something from her when she gets back. She would be so excited to see you""Okay, I'll just rest for a while then" He said and Iris retreated from the room.Ignacio sat on the edge of the bed as soon as Iris was out of the room."I wonder how she is fe
Amber watched as Liza sprinted out of the Hall and rolled her eyes and sprinted out as well. Miss Peyton took turns to glare at Alvin and Maya, hissed and walked out of the Grand Hall, Maya fell to the ground with little tears that glistened her eyes."Do you think I'm not right as well? All I'm trying to do is to bring the family together but I fail each time""No, Maya. You are not a failure and I'm so proud of you for how far you have come. This is just a normal misunderstanding every family has and I'm sure everyone would come around soon." Alvin walked to her and pulled her in for a hug"Let's go check up on Yana" She sniffled and wiped her tears.They both headed to Miss Peyton's room*Liza only sprinted some few miles away from the school when she pulled to a halt and stared back at the school for some seconds, with Anna in her hands."Do you think what I'm doing is right? Amber is really none of my business, this is Peyton's fight""That is why you are family; you fight for e
She saw on the diary something she least expected and still find it hard to believe."What? Jenna lost her baby? So who is Amber? Why did she lie to Kyle?" She thought aloud.She grabbed the diary, threw it on the bed, arranged the closet back to its original state and left the room with the diary in her hand.She got into the car, revved it in motion and drove off at a very high speed to the school.*Amber sprinted to another Hall in the school and walked into one of the room. She walked to the window side and opened it, she leaned her hands against the window wall and huffed as if it was going to be her last. She brought out her phone and punched in some digits and the caller picked on the fifth attempt."Why are you calling me?" Adrian yelled as soon as he answered the call."Calm down, babe. All of these wasn't my family fault""Really? So is it my fault? Is it my family that is complaining? You should talk to your family and not me! I'm not needed!" He yelled again."Who told yo
"How did you know about Amber or her mom?" Liza asked, still in shock."It's getting late, I should go find a place to sleep now" She said and jumped on her feet with a gloomy look on her face and Liza gripped her hand."What is wrong? Just now, you were smiling and you suddenly know people I never thought you would and now you want to leave?""Leave? Who told you I'm leaving? I told you I would always be here, waiting for you in the mornings. You can come around tomorrow and we will talk better" She faked a smile, wriggled her hand out of Liza's and left.Liza watched her as she walked away and she could tell that something was off."I wonder what she is hiding" She huffed.She carried Anna on her arm and went back to the Grand Hall. Aria walked out of where she was hiding with silent sobs and stared at Liza's retreating figure, "I'm sorry we have to part this way but everything has to go my way and I'm not ready to be found yet."*When Liza and Anna got to the room, Miss Peyton, A
"I think we should all get some rest, then, we will go through the diary in the morning and see what we can find" Miss Peyton suggested"I'll also be able to find your daughter tomorrow, I'll be much better by then" Jaeleah said and Miss Peyton slightly nodded."We'll take our leave now" Alvin said and retreated from the room with Miss Peyton."Is there anywhere for me to sleep here?" Adams asked Yana.Yana looked at Maya as if to direct the question to her, "I guess he could sleep in one of the rooms" Maya saidLiza helped Amber to the bed and wiped her tears with her hand, "It's going to be fine, baby. Get some good rest and let everything pass" Liza said and Amber nodded."I'll check for a room where Amber, Anna and I can sleep" Liza said and left the room."I'll go check for a room too" Adams said, kissed Yana on her forehead and retreated from the room.Maya stole glances at Amber who just sat on the edge of the bed quietly and let out a sigh, "I wonder who your real parents are
