Chapter 41

AMBER My heart clenches in trepidation as the poker game begins. Every card dealt feels like a step into the unknown, a dance of uncertainty where Sebastian's fate hangs in the balance. Despite the façade I'm putting on, I'm not a poker expert myself. But unlike Sebastian, I at least have some knowledge about the game. I'm aware of its intricacies, and I know that luck alone won't suffice. “Damn it, Sebastian! Why do this?” I whispered to myself. Amid my worry, I remind myself to observe, to learn every nuance of the game as it plays out. I need to turn this into an advantage, to gather every piece of information that could aid me in the future. This game isn't just about the cards – it's a battlefield of strategy and cunning, one that could determine the trajectory of my quest for revenge. Game one commences, and my fear comes true as Sebastian's lack of experience becomes apparent. His loss is met with triumphant cheers from Harper's friends, their laughter a chorus of mockery. I

AMBERMy heart leaps into my throat as I spot Eugene Davis, the imposing figure of power who is Harper's husband and my father-in-law. My breath catches, and for a fleeting moment, my confidence wavers. Though he may not possess Harper's overt hostility, I can feel his disapproval in every glance he's cast my way. He's never approved of me as Lucas's wife, and his presence here is a stark reminder of the complicated web I've woven.Harper beams with pride as she introduces Eugene to her friends, her affection for him evident despite his stoic demeanor. "Oh, Eugene, Harper didn't tell us that you're gonna come here. We should have waited for you. We played poker," one of her friends chirps.Eugene Davis, his demeanor as imposing as ever, attempts a strained smile. "I'm just here to fetch my wife. I had a long day at the company. As much as I want to have some bonding time with my wife's friends, I can't." His response carries the weight of his responsibilities as a CEO.One of Harper's

AMBERSebastian's question pulls me back from my thoughts, and I meet his gaze with a mixture of uncertainty and determination. "Honestly, Sebastian, I don't have a concrete plan just yet. But there's someone else I've been thinking about," I admit, my voice tinged with a hint of contemplation.His brow furrows slightly, his attention fully on me. "Who are you thinking about, Amber?"I take a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "Brittany," I say her name with a mixture of bitterness and resolve. "She's Lucas's sister, the one who always seemed to be the ideal woman in his eyes."Sebastian's understanding eyes meet mine, and I can see that he's aware of the history between Brittany and me. "Tell me more about her. Why do you think she should be part of our plan?"I lean back against the car seat, my mind sifting through memories I'd rather forget. "Brittany was always the golden child in their family, the one who could do no wrong. And Lucas... he always held her up as the standard I s

AMBERAlone in my room, the weight of my thoughts pressed heavily on my chest, making it hard to breathe. My imagination ran wild, spiraling into the dark abyss of revenge. It was both exhilarating and terrifying, the power I now held over the destinies of those who had wronged me.Brittany Davis—the name echoed in my mind like a chant, igniting a surge of emotion that threatened to consume me. She hadn't been the direct perpetrator of my suffering, but she had stoked the flames that had devoured my life. A fire that had ravaged my self-esteem and left me broken.Her perfectionism grated against my nerves, a constant reminder of how inadequate I had felt in my past life. How I had been molded into someone I wasn't, just to fit the warped expectations of a family that had never truly cared. I despised her for being everything I was forced not to be—successful, independent, beautiful, and confident.But it wasn't just about that. It was the way Lucas, my “ex- husband”, clung to her like

AMBERMonday morning arrived with a sense of purpose, and I found myself at Sebastian's clinic, just as we had arranged. There was something reassuring about the routine of it all, the familiarity of his presence that grounded me in this new life I was building."Good morning, Amber," Sebastian greeted, his voice warm and comforting. His dedication to his work was evident—he was always the first one here, despite being the surgeon."Good morning, Sebastian," I replied, setting my handbag on my desk. His request for breakfast came as no surprise, and I set about preparing our usual morning ritual. Two steaming cups of coffee joined the spread, completing our makeshift breakfast feast.As Sebastian organized his desk and laid out the French toast, I couldn't help but admire his dedication to these simple moments. It was as if he was creating a haven amidst the chaos of the world, and I found solace in that."Let's eat now before we start our work," he suggested, his eyes lighting up at

AMBERThe next day at the clinic, I was engrossed in my work when Sebastian approached me, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He handed me an envelope, a small smile playing on his lips. "What is this, Sebastian?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."Why don't you take a look, Amber? I have a feeling you'll find it quite interesting," he replied, his voice laced with anticipation.Pausing my task, I opened the envelope, and my eyes widened as I saw a stack of documents nestled within. My heart raced with a mix of surprise and gratitude as I skimmed through the papers, realizing that they were all about Brittany Davis and her boyfriend Matthew."S-Sebastian! You really shouldn't have done this. I never asked you to go to such lengths for me," I stammered, feeling both embarrassed and deeply appreciative.Sebastian leaned against a nearby desk, arms crossed. "It's too late for that, Amber. Consider it a gift from a friend who understands your situation. I know you need resources for your plans,

AMBERThe day had finally arrived. The day when my plan to expose Brittany's true nature to Matthew's parents would set in motion. The anticipation coiled within me, a mix of excitement and apprehension. Sebastian and I had devised a clever scheme—one that would use a soft spot in Matthew's family to expose the cracks in Brittany's image.With our plan in mind, Sebastian and I stood in front of Matthew's family house, holding a basket that contained four adorable golden retriever puppies. My heart twisted with a pang of guilt. I had always loved animals, and using innocent creatures for my revenge didn't sit right with me."Amber, remember why we're doing this. The puppies won't end up in the wrong hands. Matthew's family loves dogs, and these little ones will be taken care of," Sebastian reassured me, his voice gentle.I nodded, though the turmoil within me remained. "I know, but it still feels wrong. Exploiting their love for dogs for our own gain..."Sebastian's hand rested on my b

AMBER The anticipation hung heavy in the air the next day as we waited for our plan to unfold the next morning. Sebastian and I had meticulously orchestrated a scheme that would exploit the tensions between Brittany and her socialite family, pushing them into a conflict with Matthew's parents. The key element was the fake dinner invitation sent from Matthew's personal email, a gesture that would lure the Davis family into the lion's den. Sebastian had managed to hire someone to hack into Matthew's email, granting us the opportunity to send the invitation. My heart raced with nervous excitement as I read the email before it was dispatched—a special dinner invitation from "Matthew," suggesting a surprise secret dinner. The wording was calculated to pique Brittany's curiosity and feed into her desire for Matthew to win her parents' favor. As the hours ticked by, Sebastian and I shared a sense of apprehension. We had put everything on the line for this plan, and now it was up to fate to

Brittany's excitement bubbled as they pulled up to Matthew's house. This was a golden opportunity to impress her boyfriend's parents and, perhaps, mend the strained relationship between their families. She knew Matthew's parents had never been fond of her, seeing her as a spoiled and socialite lady, but this dinner could change all that.As they stepped out of the car and made their way towards the front door, Brittany couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. She had dressed to impress, wanting to leave a lasting impression on Matthew's family. Harper, her ever-critical mother, trailed behind her, her expression already marred with disapproval."What kind of house is this? Can't they even afford a villa?" Harper remarked with a sneer, her voice dripping with condescension."Mom, lower your voice. They might hear you," Brittany hissed, a hint of embarrassment creeping into her tone.Harper responded with an exaggerated eye roll, dismissing her daughter's concerns.Inside the hou

Harper's disdain for the puppies was palpable; she viewed them with an undisguised mixture of repulsion and irritation. To her, these dogs were far from the high-end breeds she was accustomed to, and their presence in Matthew's home was an affront to her sensibilities. As the puppies scampered around with unrestrained excitement, she nearly pushed them away in her desperate attempt to distance herself from them.Matthew's parents, however, were not about to tolerate any harm coming to their beloved pets. Anger flared in their eyes as Harper's actions escalated the already tense situation."What the hell? Don't touch our dogs! Don't lay your hands on them, Harper! You have no right!" Matthew's father's voice rang out with authority, his protective instincts kicking in.Harper's tirade against the dogs continued unabated. "You all have a stinky house, and now stinky dogs! Disgusting!" she proclaimed, her voice dripping with scorn.Brittany, mortified by her mother's behavior, pleaded wi
