The man grunted in pain and his hold on her loosened. His strong force pushed her away and she fell on the ground. The roughness of the floor scratching on to her palms and arms creating a small abrasion on her skin. She gasped when a familiar arm punched the man's face. It was Max. Her husband came to save her from the harasser. There was fire in his eyes and his teeth were gritting with anger. A small bruise formed his knuckles and Amber knew that she has to stop him. "How dare you touch her!" he growled and striked a heavy punch to the man's face which broke his nose and few pieces of teeth. "Max stop!" she held on to his arm and he finally calmed down. The pervert was lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Some guests witnessed the scene. No one expected a cold, stone-like man such as Max could act this way. As if they've seen him in a different light. Mr. and Mrs. Tresse were also one of the witnesses. With Mrs. Tresse as Amber's newfound friend she had to check on Amber.
Linda was bewildered because the couple weren't talking to each other. Amber also didn't bother making breakfast for Max. "Amber, is has something happened between both of you last night?" Linda asked. "Nothing happened, Linda. I just wanted to sleep separately from him. That's all." Amber shrugged. Linda sighed and whacked Amber's head. She welped in pain and nearly dropped the box in her hand. "Why did you do that? Couples should always sleep together in a single bed! How can Max produce heirs if his wife doesn't want to sleep beside him. Amber, this is for the future of the Eastons. I want you to put back your things in his room and sleep there." Amber was speechless. "B-But Linda, isn't it too early to think about kids?" she replied with a hint of embarrassment. "What are you two talking about?" Amber jumped from her position and turned around. It was Max! Did he hear their conversation? "Nothing, Mr. Easton. Your father sent an invitation to his birthday party. He'll be ex
"Linda, what do you think?" Amber asked as she twirled around. Loving her new dress. A white skater dress with puffed sleeves. There were floral designs of a lily on the dress. "You look absolutely stunning, dear!" Linda said with a sparkle in her eyes. "Thanks. I should go now. Where is the box?" Linda gave her a box wrapped in a bento-like cloth. Amber placed it inside a lunch bag and made sure everything was complete. "Be careful of the road!" Linda shouted. Amber waved the housekeeper a good bye and took a cab towards Max's company. The Easton building was as tall as it's surrounding buildings. Everytime she looked at it. She'll always be left mesmerized by it's sheer height. All employees were attracted by her as she entered the company's lobby area. She walked around not aware of the stares she received. "Uhm...I'm here for Max Easton?" she asked the receptionist. The woman gave her a dirty look and went to look 'busy' checking her nails. "Hello? Can't you hear me? Her
Silence fell in the room as a sultry woman barged into Max's office. She was hot, sexy and had a perfect body. This made Amber feel lacking. She didn't have any of those, well except for an hourglass body. The rest didn't do so well. But when the woman called Max 'baby', her heart hurled into different levels of pain. What is the meaning of this? Does this mean Max cheated on her? She bit her lip. Trying not to comment anything and to remain silent. She hoped that Max would try to clear up things and reassure her, but her hopes failed when Max stood up and kissed the woman's cheek. He touched her as if she wasn't in the room at all. Amber couldn't handle her emotions anymore and hurriedly stood up from her seat.This scene reminded her of Gavin and Stephanie again!"I-I should go." she whispered and walked out of the office without turning back. "Who was that?" she heard the woman ask."No one." Those two words pierced her heart. How could he say that? He was her wife! Not anyone
She couldn't look away. There was a mysterious emotion hiding behind his eyes, she didn't know what it was. He slowly leaned downwards and she squeaked when their nose touched. "M-Max..." Amber breath out. Should she push him away? Or accept his advances? She was confused and excited at the same time. Max is starting to take an interest on her and she wasn't sure if it is good or bad. He is closed off and barely shows any emotions on his face. He suddenly pulled away and her heart felt disappointment for a second. "I...I want Lemon Salmon for dinner. Make it quick. I've been eating cup noodles for three days." he said before leaving the kitchen. Amber sighed with a smile. So he did like the food she made! As what he wanted. Amber made him Lemon Salmon and she added fragrant herbs with it. Max must have been suffering with the packaged noodles and wanted something light for dinner, or was it just a food craving? Max was reading a file when his phone rang. He answered it with
Today is Rowen Easton's birthday and he invited Ashley and Max. Her gift was simple. Since cooking or anything about food was her specialty she decided to make a herbal tea mix for her father-in-law. She can't wait to meet Rowen. He's been good to her since her wedding day. He gave her a good father vibes when he comforted her during the wedding and wanting her to give his son a chance. Of course, she took it and she can feel her relationship with Max going steady. "I'm glad you came, Max." Rowen greeted his son. He turned to Amber and gave her a warm fatherly smile. This warmed her heart and wished that her own father would do the same, but that was only reserved for Stephanie."Happy birthday, father." Amber smiled and kissed Rowen on the cheek. "My...you look absolutely beautiful, my dear Amber!" "Oh? Isn't this my grandson's wife?" Nenita, Max's grandmother, joined them. The woman's eyes scanned over Amber's form and gave her a welcoming smile. "You are indeed even more beauti
Amber woke up feeling sore below her legs. Her cheeks blushed as she reminisced what happened last night.She'd never expect that their relationship will finally take a huge step. Her eyes stared warmly at Max's sleeping form and traced every muscle on his body with her point finger. She got up from the bed and went to make him breakfast. While placing the dishes on the table. Max entered, ignoring her. "Good morning, Max." she greeted. Her body stiffened when he gave her a deathly cold look. Did something happen? "Forget whatever happened between us last night. That should've never happened. I'm late for work. I don't have time for breakfast." he said coldly and left her alone. His sharp words was like a stab in her heart. Last night was the best experience throughout their marriage, but he crushed it as if it meant nothing. Can she truly break the coldness in his heart? The house feels empty for some reason and it affected Amber a lot. This atmosphere was the same as being alo
Amber slammed her palms on the receptionist's desk. "What room is Max Easton admitted in?"The woman scowled at her. "I'm sorry, his family is only allowed to enter. Hospital policy dear. I won't allow you to climb a billionaire's bed." "I'm not! I am his wife!" I shouted and it gained the attention of other people.The receptionist pressed a button and soon the security guards came to take Amber away. "Let me go! I'm not going anywhere until I see my husband!" Amber struggled out of the men's hold. "Let go of her!" Rowen Easton rushed in and demanded the guards to remove their hands off her.Amber was relieved to see a familiar face. "H-How is he?""He's out of danger and currently resting to recover from the accident. It will take a few months for him to get back on his feet." Rowen replied."What do you mean?" I frowned. A few months to get back on his feet?We entered the VIP ward and his room was located the end of the hallway. Amber gasped when her eyes landed on the huge cas
After the heartfelt talk she had with Max. She was surprised to find her belongings disappeared and Max ushered her back into the master bedroom. There her clothes were laid neatly in the walk-in closet. Amber couldn't imagine sleeping next to Max every night, but at least it was a small step to strengthen their relationship right? Her phone rang and it was Chloe. "Good morning my sweet Amber! My parents are extending the invitation to you to attend my brother's birthday party! And you can't say no!" Chloe's explosive voice made Amber pull the phone away from her poor ears. As much as she adored her best friend, there wouldn't be anyone else attending to Max. He's still trying to recover his legs with therapy. There is still no news from the doctor yet regarding his recovery. Of course, Max wasn't happy with the results but still willing to try. "I'm sorry, Chloe. But I really can't. My husband is still recovering and I need to be there with him." she replied. "Aw, what a bumme
It has been three hours since Max invited Corina into his office. Amber couldn't help but feel jealous and betrayed. But she didn't want to think of Max in that way. She needed to trust him that he won't do anything else with Corina other than talking or catching up. After painful hours of waiting, Corina finally emerged out of his office doors. The wicked woman's appearance looked messy. She gasped embarrassingly upon seeing other people waiting in the living room. Max was an hour late from his therapy. The doctor and the therapist had to cancel a few of their appointments just to adjust their time with his therapy. "Max-" Corina turned around, but paused because of his cold expression. "Get out." he gritted. Corina flinched and scurried out of the house. "My apologies for being late. I had to deal with something important. Let's go." Max said to the doctor and therapist. Both of them stood up and followed Max except for Amber. She sat there, her body positioned like a st
Max got discharged from the hospital after two weeks but he'll be continuing his therapy at home. A doctor and the therapist will be visiting him every week until his right leg recovers. "I can't sit on this damn chair all day! I need to go to work!" Max complained. Nenita slapped his arm. "You need to recover and not think all about work! We are yet to find the culprit who caused your accident. Your father will handle everything at the company. Follow the doctor and therapist okay?" Nenita turned to Amber with a pointed look. "I expect you to take care of your husband. He's a stubborn man so bear with him okay?" Saying no wasn't an option so she relented to Nenita's demands. However, this situation made her anxious since her relationship with Max is still a bit rocky. After Nenita and the doctor left. Amber quickly walked away from Max to prepare his lunch. She'd rather hide somewhere other than sitting beside him. Linda wasn't aware yet of the couple avoiding each other. So sh
