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
Dylan CooperAmber effortlessly made me forget everything, made me remember only the good times we had, and for the briefest of moments, her tongue tangling with mine made me remember exactly where I came from, and the reasons for both of us being there.
Amber BrownThe shock of being demoted to a position like the one Dylan had put me in, to work mopping the floors of the company that God knows how he managed to become boss of, because years ago he was just an employee, wasn't as great as the shock of seeing him reject me.

Amber BrownThe night passed like a breath, I'd barely managed to close my eyes, I'd spent the whole night just leaning with my back against the headboard, as much as I wanted to sleep and felt my tired body needing rest, I couldn't fall asleep.

Amber Brown"Hi, Dad!" I said, feeling the world collapse before my feet once again, he came towards me with faltering steps, he looked at me for a few seconds, apparently undecided about what to do, there was a subtle surprise in his expression, he certainly wasn't expecting me here. As soon as he understood that I was real, he gave me a tight hug, perhaps in a way that the two of us had never hugged before, or perhaps it was just that he was feeling as lonely as I was. Seeing a familiar face in his current condition made him feel more comfortable, just as I felt at that moment."Daughter!" His voice came out genuinely happy for me, I never imagined that I would come to visit him one day, the truth was that I felt afraid of what I would see, as well as very angry about the situation I found myself in, but due to recent events, loneliness has cut me like a sharp dagger. Being so shamefully humiliated by Dylan had diminished me far more than I would have been able to admit out loud. I
Amber BrownI thought about Dylan insistently throughout the journey home, it was very strange the way things were going, I don't know how far his madness goes, or maybe I underestimated his desire for revenge. I never expected this from him, not from the Dylan I had a relationship with years ago.Dylan hates me, and I know it, I know the reasons for it, and after everything, I know he'll go to any lengths to see me down, but I also know how to defend myself, my situation right now isn't the best, but I can turn it around. I've been beaten up a lot, I have, but that too can change, I know he still cares about me, if he didn't, he wouldn't be so dedicated to trying to humiliate me, hate and love go hand in hand. And if you hate too much, you've loved too much.I arrived home with my mind boiling with thoughts of solutions to my situation and Dad's, but nothing seemed quite right, it was as if a very important piece was missing from this puzzle, but I was unable to see it, even though I
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
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

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
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
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
