41. BLACKMAIL

After Amber broke up with Eddy and took up Tom’s offer, she was really invested in arts that she went to public libraries, art exhibitions, museums and other art-related events in order to fit into the art world by gaining knowledge and experience, but little did she know Eddy was stalking her. He wondered why she suddenly became invested in things like that, but when he couldn’t find any answer to his question after tailing her for a few days, he finally planned to give up. He had ignited his car’s engine that afternoon when she came out of the house and got into Tom’s car on the other side of the street. “What is he doing here? Why is she getting into his car?”, he murmured, and instantly followed them when they took off. They never took it into account that they might be followed and just went their own way to the hidden house. He followed them down to the house and saw them as they giggled lovingly on their way in. He waited there till the time they finally came out at night and

42. THE SURPRISE

Joseph brooded over the information he got from Eddy and knew if he dug deeper, he would surely find something. The mention of a secret house intrigued him so much, he wondered when Tom got a house and even if he did, what was he using it for that he would there with his secretary during the weekends? “I know they are dating, but that is just another level of dirtiness. Why is he not man enough to show his love for his secretary?”, Charles remarked from the other side of the room. Joseph had gone over to his house to discuss the issue with him after getting the information. Charles was the one he could confide in and also the person who could help him strategize coolly and effectively. His anger issues would not allow him to calmly plan his attack on Tom, but with someone like Charles guiding him, he was progressing in his findings. “He will be kicked in the guts by father. How dare he date his secretary when he should be looking for the daughter of a rich family, but then who would

43. LET ME BE YOUR MAN

Tom was going through some documents in his office when he noticed a particular file missing. He went to check Amber’s desk at her office and found it beside the mini calendar on her table. He was about to leave for his office when he noticed a small circle on the calendar. Upon checking well, he saw that it was her birthday she circled. He just went back to his office without adding any meaning to it but after sometimes, it began to linger in his mind. He pondered about what to get her as a birthday gift, and he realized that he had never gifted her one. He made a reservation at the restaurant and told them to get a cake ready for that day. She didn’t even know that it was her birthday because she had been so busy, and he noticed it too. He was slightly happy that it would at least be a genuine surprise for her. He made her leave work early before she actually got a whim for it by looking at her calendar and took her to the restaurant. Hearing her randomly talk about her experienc

44. A TRAP

Tom grinned all the way home. He couldn’t explain why he was feeling so happy, but the thought of Amber brought a smile to his face anytime her face came to his mind. He didn’t even know when Anita came in to check up on him while bringing along a plate of sliced fruit. “You hate to have late night food, but you came in late, so how about some fruits?” Anita announced as she entered the room, but the grinning Tom caught her off-guard. That was the first time she would see him grin like that in years. She paused for a bit to observe well if she was indeed seeing right, and it was real. Tom was grinning happily. She rushed to his side and placed the plate on the table before touching his face, raised it up and turned it to the side to see if he was really okay. “What are you doing?” he growled, removing his face from her hands, but she only leaned closer to him “Are you sure you are fine? You have never given this expression for years”, she panicked, and he raised his brows. “What d

45. I GOT YOU GOOD

Amber had run into Harvey L once again at the hotel the previous night, and they decided to grab a drink at the mini-bar in the hotel. They talked about random things, and she even thanked her for rescuing her the last time at the club. “I am sorry, I didn’t thank you for the incident at the club sooner. I should buy you a meal soon to make up for it”, Amber stated, and she waved it. “I only did what I should do, so there is no need for that”, she told her, and they clinked their glasses. “What are you doing around here? Have you moved to this hotel?”, Amber questioned further and Harvey shook her head. “I have to hide here for a bit. Someone I don’t like is now in Paris, and he might soon find out that I am here which he shouldn’t, so I should lie low and keep myself off his radar till he’s gone”, she replied and that only sparked Amber’s curiosity. “And who might that be? I mean the person that shouldn’t know of your presence?” “A trash that cannot even be recycled. He is the v

46. HE'S MY MAN

“I am sorry, but I cannot carry out your request because I am here with a sprained wrist”, was the last thing he was expecting her to answer with. She was even wearing a bandage, which meant that she was not lying. He kicked the poor trash can at the side of the gallery in anger as his plan fell through. He was so sure of getting both her and Tom, but he might run mad before he did that at that rate. “What a waste of time”, he mumbled under his heavy breath as his secretary scurried over to his side. He previously told him to stay outside, so they wouldn’t be suspicious. “How did it go? Did you crush her?”, the secretary asked with a broad smile, but the stern look on Joseph’s face gave the answer he was looking for. “I see you couldn’t carry it out”, he added, with the smile disappearing faster than it had appeared. “Get my flight back to Chicago now!”, Joseph commanded as he entered the car and his secretary raised his brow, “You mean you are going back to Chicago now?”, he ques

47. REUNION

Immediately she got a call from Lawrence about his presence in Chicago, she notified Tom and insisted that this was the perfect time to come clean to Lawrence. He wanted to decline, but he summoned up courage and, thanks to her persuasion, he felt the need to reconcile too. Lawrence was taken aback by what she had just revealed to him. What does she mean by her friend is her man? How did she know about that, or why is she sure? “Your man? I hope you are not mistaken, it might just be a mix-up somewhere”, he stuttered, but she flashed a short smile. “He was the one that told me that line, and you recognized the line when I used it. “My friend gave me Umbra because of my strokes”, she answered swiftly, and Lawrence held his head in pain. The revelation was so shocking for him that he didn’t even know how to react. His mind flashed by to when he almost confessed to his man’s fiancé, but that was not the issue at hand, his friend he had been looking for all his life was right outside,

48. UMBRA IS FAKE

After the buzz of the reunion calmed down, and they settled down to talk more when Lawrence remembered that Amber was the one claiming to be Umbra even when the real umbra was in front of him. “Miss Amber said something about being you being her boss and man. Why is she filling the space for you though? I mean this is a great opportunity to make your dreams come true”, he curiously asked, and Tom scratched his head at the question. He didn’t know the exact response to give in order to anger him or make him look like a fool, so he hesitated for a bit before Lawrence came to his rescue. “It’s okay, don’t worry about anything. I won’t hold you for it, there must have been a reason after all”, Lawrence assured him, and he answered. “You do know that I am the CEO of the biggest shopping mall in Chicago right, and one of the sons of the Holland group?” he started and Lawrence nodded his head in acknowledgment. “I had to ditch art in order to get this position, it was the requirement for

49. SPEAKING OUT

Tom and Amber didn’t know that the secret house had been raided by Joseph, who couldn’t wait to get his hand on solid evidence because there seemed to be none. He also got information that Tom had Lawrence lodging in one of their expensive rooms when he came to Chicago. “There is something they are all hiding and that will be exposed when I send this to the press”, he bellowed as he entered the secret house after breaking down the lock through the help of an expert. He searched every nook and cranny, found the artwork and another copy of the contract they both signed. “This should be enough to get them and let’s see how they go about it when the whole world knows that they were being deceived by them” Joseph laughed and ordered his secretary to send the evidence to the press. The paid reporter reported just as Joseph wanted and released the news that a source had sent in a report that the artist was pretending to be someone else. Just as she was watching it on the TV in the meetin

50. FREEDOM

Tom and Amber were busy discussing the new stocks and what to do for the improvement of the mall in a meeting in the conference room, and they had been at it for hours. She took an excuse to visit the restroom towards the end of the meeting and left first. She was about entering the restroom when she heard the older employees speaking ill of her, and she allowed them to finish before pushing the door to give them a reply, but she was about entering when she heard the voice of the junior employee lashing at them for talking bad about Amber. She kicked against the idea of entering and just stood there with her arms folded, waiting for them to come out and meet her at the door, which they eventually did when they threatened the junior employee who ran out for her life. “I was waiting patiently here for you to come out and since I am here, why don’t you leave the poor girl out of this and face me? I am your target in the first place, isn’t that so?”, she stated, and the older employee s
