Chapter 11

“Good afternoon, Attorney Harrison.” Devlin greeted his grandmother’s lawyer the moment he saw him in his office. He wonders whether he is working today. He is such a workaholic man despite his age. “Good afternoon, Mr. Wesley. How are you doing? Please take a seat.” Smiled the aging Attorney Harrison. He is just a decade younger than his grandma. When Devlin’s grandfather was still alive, Attorney Harrison used to work for him as his personal lawyer. His grandfather was a very successful real estate developer. It was also Attorney Harrison who read the last will of his grandfather a few weeks after he died. His grandmother took the bulk of his wealth with almost all of his real estate properties as her inheritance. Devlin’s dad was also given some properties like the beach house and some apartments. Both Devlin and his older brother were given some parcels of land. Despite all the wealth her grandmother got, she lived a very simple life. Devlin knew that she also took good care of

Chapter 12

“Hello Devlin…” Amber hesitated a bit. But she wants to cook a nice dinner for him before she goes home to her marmee. That is the only way she thinks she could repay his kindness towards her. She waited for Devlin to say something but the other line was quiet except the background sound of cars honking. He must be driving somewhere. “Devlin, can you hear me? I am not sure what you are doing but do you want me to hang up?” It took Colton a full minute to respond to Amber. She could hear his deep breathing. “Yeah, don’t hang up. I’m here. I just had to do something.” He lied. He is actually seething with anger right now. He blamed Amber for everything. Had she not met his grandma that day on her appointment at the hospital, he wouldn't get entangled with this mess. His grandma would have not made that drastic decision if she hadn’t been very sick. Amber’s appearance could have reminded his grandma of her wish to marry someone from her family to her friend, Amelia’s bloodline. Devli

Chapter 13

The next day, Amber woke up early. She tried to stretch her body several times before she finally stood up to get ready for the day. Suddenly, she gasped out loud. She almost forgot about Devlin. He came last night too drunk to even know where he is. She immediately went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She quickly picked up her phone on the bedside table. It is quarter to 7. She hurriedly went to the living room to check on him. She would make breakfast for him. However, the living room is empty.There is no trace of Devlin except the pillow he used last night and the folded blanket on top of it. She went to check the kitchen. He must have gotten hungry. She felt bad that she didn't wake up earlier. But when she reached the kitchen, everything was the same the way she left it last night. Where did he go? He must have decided to leave without informing her. She felt disappointed. Well, she will just call him before she leaves tomorrow morning. She wanted to p

Chapter 14

“Where the hell do you think you are going?” Came Devlin’s thundering voice. Amber didn’t realize that her body was trembling when she heard him. She was busy fixing the bedroom. She was already packed since last night. She didn’t have much to pack. She only took the things she brought with her when she first came to the condo. She left everything that Devlin gave her including the jewelry she got for that dinner party. “You think you can fool me, huh?” Devlin went to her and grabbed her wrist tightly. “Let go. You are hurting me, Devlin. I already told you yesterday that I am leaving today. I am sorry for all the misunderstandings. I never came here for anything except to attend your grandmother’s funeral and to hear your idea about our grandparents’ agreement years ago. That’s all. I just wanted to find peace in my heart that I will not be able to honor your grandmother’s wish.” She said with a shaky voice, fear was evident in her eyes. Devlin’s piercing eyes were really unnervin

Chapter 15

Amber woke up the next day with swollen eyes. She cried herself to sleep last night. She regretted why she accepted Devlin’s offer to stay in his condo unit. She thought he was just being nice to her. After all, their grandparents were good friends. However, she made a huge mistake in trusting him. Now, she regrets crossing paths with him. She still remembers what she thought of Devlin the first time she saw him. She would not deny that she admired his looks. That was just a week ago. Now, everything has turned upside down. “There you are! I thought you would stay in your room for a while. I can’t fault you. You can have all these comforts while it lasts.” Said Devlin who just barged into her room without knocking. It is still early in the morning but Devlin’s insults are making her sick. She didn’t say anything to him. “So, you are planning to ignore me, huh. You keep your drama to yourself. It is not going to change the fact that you are a gold-digger.” His taunting words cut l

Chapter 16

“I now pronounce you husband and wife.” The judge said while smiling at both Devlin and Amber. There is only one person who witnessed their wedding, Attorney Harrison. All their faces looked gloomy except for the judge. “Congratulations! I wish you both the best in your married life.” Said the judge. He didn’t linger long though as he had something else to do. He congratulated the newlyweds and exchanged a few words, then he left. The day was actually like a blur for Amber. She acted like a robot, following whatever Devlin told her to do. When it was close to 3 pm, they went together to the city hall. It only took less than 5 minutes to be done with their wedding. This is not the kind of wedding Amber had envisioned for herself. She wanted to get married to someone whom she truly loves. Looking at the man she just married, he could have been the perfect husband from his appearance. However, Amber knows who he truly is. She can’t wait for their divorce. “Mr. Wesley, I am sorry b

Chapter 17.1

“So tell me, did you have fun with your shopping?” Amber was surprised to see Devlin in the penthouse almost the same time she arrived from her shopping. Amber didn’t really buy that much for herself. She bought two pairs of pants, shirts and dresses. Devlin frowned when he saw her shopping bags. “I hope you followed what I told Jackson. Get dressed. We are going outside.” Devlin left for his room. Amber was dumbfounded. How could he just order her readily? She just arrived. . Anyway, the reason why she didn’t buy much was because she bought something for Devlin. She saw this beautifully carved panther made from a black gemstone. It is a bit bigger than the palm of her hand. It is quite heavy. It is the most expensive item she bought from her shopping today. She meant to give it as a gift for him. She doesn’t know why she did it despite his callous treatment towards her. She noticed that he has huge collections of carved animals displayed all over his place. Some of them are mad

Chapter 17.2

Amber almost groaned in frustration. She forgot about the rings. Devlin did not tell her to remove them. She did not reply to Raven and put her hand under the table. Then, Raven stared at Devlin’s left hand and noticed the single wedding ring on his ring finger. She gasped while staring back and forth between Amber and Devlin. Amber was looking at Devlin waiting for what he had to say. Instead, he was casually cutting his piece of steak and taking his time to chew it. Both Raven and Dalton were just staring at Devlin with a surprised look. “Hey bro, are you two married? This is a huge surprise!” His brother chuckled. Amber waited for Devlin to answer. He has never uttered a single word since his brother and Raven approached them. “Yes. We just got married yesterday.” Devlin casually announced like it was a simple business meeting. “Wow! That’s a big thing. Congratulations are in order then. Mind if we join you?” It was Dalton who spoke. Raven reluctantly sat down with them.

Chapter 18

Amber woke up to feeling something heavy on her chest. She slowly opened her eyes and suddenly froze to her spot. She is in Devlin’s room. She saw his hand on her chest. Slowly, she moved herself to look at Devlin. To her relief, he is still sleeping soundly. She slowly removed his hand from her chest. Then, carefully got off from his bed.She walked on tiptoes until she reached the door. She slowly turned the knob afraid to make any sounds that would wake him up. The moment she got out of his room, she let out a deep sigh. ‘That was close.’ She said to herself. She went to her room to check her phone. It is half an hour past six in the morning. She decided to get ready for the day. She did her daily exercise for half an hour this time. Then, she proceeded to make breakfast for Devlin. She made a special chicken soup for him. She also made some toasted bread, fried some eggs and bacon. After she was done in the kitchen, she took a shower in her room. She wears beige cotton shorts an

Chapter 19

Amber realized that she was shaking when everyone else left the room except Attorney Harrison. She took a heavy breath to lessen the anxiety she is feeling. It was so tense earlier that she thought she would just throw up. She could not handle the dagger look she was getting from Devlin’s father. As much as she tried to understand his outburst but that did not stop her from shaking. She is scared. She never thought in her wildest imagination that she would ever get involved in such a serious matter. First of all, she never thought she would inherit a large sum of money and some properties which would cost millions of dollars. Second, her shotgun wedding to Devlin was something she never thought would ever happen to her. And now, she earned the wrath not only from Devlin but as well as from his father. It is basically the entire Wesley family although they were not vocal with their emotions. “Attorney Harrison, what should I do now? I am sure everyone would love to see me gone in no
