"You're my Amber" I heard his low voice as he moved in and out at such a perfect pace that I felt like I would melt in a matter of seconds. There was very, very little left, and my belly was contracting painfully. "All mine! Amber, a spoiled young woman from a wealthy family, sees her world turn upside down when her father loses the family fortune due to scams. She and her mother are forced to move to the outskirts of New York City, finding themselves in a hostile environment where opportunities are scarce. Desperate for a means of support, Amber lands an unexpected job at a prestigious company. To her surprise, her boss is someone from her past whom she never imagined encountering again. Though initially reluctant to accept the maid position, she soon realizes it's her only chance to have a roof over her head. As Amber immerses herself in the responsibilities of her new job, she discovers long-forgotten memories beginning to resurface. Amidst the day-to-day challenges, she finds herself confronting uncomfortable truths about her past and her own identity. What she initially viewed as a mere temporary job unfolds into a journey of self-discovery and redemption, where secrets from the past intertwine with future possibilities.

1. Changes

Amber Brown The day dawned gray, matching my mood perfectly, though that no longer mattered. What I felt, or failed to feel, made no difference to my reality, which was far bleaker than I ever wished to endure or believed I deserved. My life had been flawless; I had no cause for complaint. Yet, in the blink of an eye, everything changed dramatically. In the span of what? Days? Hours? I struggled to rise from my bed, knowing it would be the final time I lay upon its comforting embrace. Slowly, I made my way through the room, savoring its familiarity while it remained mine, until I reached the window to gaze upon the garden outside. Perhaps, I thought, I might glimpse it again in days to come, but the likelihood was slim. Descending the stairs, I found my mother seated on the couch, her eyes vacant, lost in contemplation. She, no doubt, was far more bewildered by the events that had transpired than I. "Good morning, Mom!" I called her attention, trying to sound upbeat. "Have you pack...

2. Assault
Amber Brown"DROP THAT! IT'S NOT YOURS!" His scream was shrill and terrified. I immediately twisted my body to see what was happening, and the scene was utterly terrifying.Three huge men were rummaging through our suitcases, and my mother was futilely trying to pull her vanity case where I knew her most expensive jewelry was kept. On impulse, I tried to help her, only to feel a powerful slap on my face that made me completely lose my balance. I felt dizzy, couldn't hear anything anymore, my head was spinning. I couldn't see much after that, just felt my head spinning forcefully. I kept hearing my mother's screams, the men's shouts; it was all a blur, impossible to understand what they were saying. After a few minutes, which I wouldn't know how to estimate, I felt my consciousness slowly returning. Then, I finally managed to get up from the ground, and what I saw after that left me completely devastated. Mom was lying on the ground, in tears, holding tightly onto something I couldn't s

3. The Vacancy
Amber BrownIt had been about a fortnight since Mom and I had moved into our new house in the Bronx. I was slowly beginning to feel familiar with the place, there wasn't much to see here, it was a very small house, one day was more than enough to see everything in it, I also took the opportunity to get to know part of the neighborhood.I got to know the location of the markets closest to the house, Crotona Park which was relatively close by, I didn't go too far because if I did I'd get to the zoo, and it was a place I didn't want to return to, probably never again in my life, I mapped out all the bus stops and metro stations so that when I needed to get around cheaply I'd know exactly where to go, I got to know some of the bars and other stores that were around here, even if I didn't enjoy the services offered by them for the sake of the forced economy.I tried to find a job in absolutely every shop in the vicinity since I needed to work, so I hoped to work somewhere close to home, bu

4. The Boss
Amber Brown"He asked you to come in, the meeting's over" I smiled in satisfaction, I just needed to apply a bit of pressure, I wasn't going to leave, I just wanted to know if he was testing me, I'd heard about these tests they do with new employees, to find out how much they want the job, so they keep them waiting unnecessarily, to find out how much they can take, if he called me instead of letting me go, I had a chance as Bob had told me earlier, this Clara was certainly well regarded in this company.I thanked her for the information and headed for the door, opening it and entering the formal, masculine office behind it. The man was standing, looking at the glass wall behind his desk."Good afternoon Mr...""Cooper" His voice was deep, and for some reason that I couldn't explain at the time, I felt fear when I heard it, a strange familiarity running through my body, he was standing with his back to me, admiring the beautiful view of Central Park from that glass wall.I looked close

5. Despair
Amber Brown"Dylan ..." My eyes couldn't believe my eyes, this wasn't possible, why the hell, of all the fucking men in the world, did he have to be the one in that position in front of me? how many guys have I dated? Ten? Twenty? I can't even count, and just the relationship (it never became a relationship because we never made it official) that was the most troubled, with the most consequences and completely adverse situations, the one that had the most tragic ending is the one that's here, his evil smile making me suspicious of the conditions under which I got here.No! It wasn't possible, Bob asked his daughter to help me, Dylan certainly knows everything I've been through, there were newspaper stories about my father, when Clara appointed me he must have been delighted at the opportunity to put me in this position."I'm afraid this isn't the right position, well, I think I'd better go, I'll withdraw my application, in any case, thank you very much for the opportunity" I opted fo

6. Destination
Amber Brown The next day I got out of bed feeling all crushed, I cried for countless hours thinking about what I was going to do to get by, I searched all over the room that Mom used, in the vain hope of finding the ring that she had managed to save during the robbery, maybe I wanted to delude myself with the idea that she might have screwed up and forgotten it.

7. Make Pró
Amber BrownThe night was extremely long for me, I spent all the hours that kept me from the morning observing the time and the groceries left by Bob at my house, I counted and recounted each food item, I calculated how long it could last, and how much I could save without having to humiliate myself by going back to Dylan's company and accepting that damn position to work with him, only to realize that I needed to change my situation as soon as possible, who was I kidding?I had no choice!When the alarm on my phone told me it was six o'clock in the morning, I realized that my time out of this nightmarish prelude was over, I had nowhere else to run, I had to act and go against him. Maybe this isn't as bad as I think, maybe, just maybe, Dylan still has pure feelings for me and wants to help me genuinely, without ulterior motives.May my instincts be wrong!I took a deep breath and tried to remain credulous about this new theory I was creating in my mind, maybe it really could happen, b

8. New Function
Amber BrownClara, who made a point of showing how annoyed she was at having to introduce me to the company, made me question my sanity in having accepted all this. It didn't take long before she began to show me around the building. We started on the first floor where I was introduced to the receptionists and the entire salon.I could see that each one was staffed by a girl who offered the service, and I noticed that there were displays there too. We went to the side and there I could see that there was a store with access from the other side of the building, entering from the way I came, I could only see the bureaucratic area.I was delighted with the store, we went in and there were lots of displays with lots of make-up, and it was explained to me that customers who wanted to be made-up went to a separate area where the girls stayed in the lobby and then left through the store again. The make-up store was beautiful and very bright, with lots of lights and mirrors, a dream for anyon

9. Observation
Dylan CooperShe'd finally decided to show up, and I confess that when I first saw her walk through the door and find out she'd be working for me, then refuse and walk away, I was sure she wouldn't be coming back. Only if I had no choice!And I did just that, I took every little choice she had away from Amber, and it wasn't easy! It wasn't quick! It was time-consuming and expensive, very expensive, but it was worth every penny to see the lost and completely surprised expression she showed when she saw me.I'm a guy who gets on well with everyone, I have a lot of knowledge and a lot of partners in the whole cosmetics and sales business, commerce in general, so with them it was quite simple to resolve, it was enough to burn her image in the middle, I didn't even have to watch, the moment she took her CV she would be discarded. I figured that this would be exactly the first place she would look for something, Amber had always wanted to work with make-up, if it wasn't them, it would be st

10. Homework
Dylan CooperI did my homework very well, I investigated Emma's life and ended up discovering an old boyfriend who loved her very much and luckily for me still had a lot of hurt for her, even after so many years, because she had cheated on him with Andrew, Amber's father, the story is a bit obscure, I didn't find out many more details about it, but the man was more than happy to have an opportunity to take revenge on Emma.After all, wasn't that exactly what I was doing? Without remorse, I gave him the opportunity I didn't have, the guy had a small bakery, and he wasn't rich, but he had a comfortable life, Emma liked sharks, small fish for her were just fun, just like I did for Amber, I called the man and it was easy to resolve this issue.Ross was more than willing to take revenge on her, although I thought from my conversation with him that if she wanted to, he would still be with her, even though she had broken his heart. I laughed to think what condition we were both in, but from
