What's she trying to do?

Author’s pov Luke, one of Adrian's covert guards who was always by his side outside of work, stood while Adrian sat in the sitting room on the third floor of his house. Adrian rarely used the upper part of his house, preferring to stay on the first floor. His appearance and the ongoing conversation with Luke indicated that he might not be prepared to go to work that morning. "The moment I encountered Diana at the hospital and heard her speak, I sensed something was amiss. She was visibly shaken, fear in her eyes and trembling lips." Adrian continued discussing with Luke when Amber ascended the stairs. Spotting his guard standing close to him, she kept her distance and waited. "Diana has implicated Noah..." Luke said. "Noah is not the only one. All her accomplices will be held accountable. Noah can't be the sole target. She and anyone who knew about her plans will regret ever hearing them and not coming to me..." Amber turned her gaze as she listened to Adrian's words. "Will

Who is this lady?

Author's pov The door swung open, and Dave strolled in. Amber's gaze fixated on him, initially withholding any words, as he appeared driven by his own motives for entering. "Oh, you've chosen the desk on the right?" he remarked, making his way to the desk on the left. "What's happening here? Why are you in my office?" Amber leaned against the desk, her eyes fixed on Dave, who was busy organizing his workspace. "This wasn't my doing. Mr. Adrian asked me to come here. I didn't even know we'd be sharing an office," Dave explained while arranging his belongings. Amber clenched her hands in frustration, though she was powerless in reality. If Adrian had approved it, she had no choice but to accept. However, this arrangement was a result of both Dave and Adrian's scheming. It had been about two days since Adrian summoned Dave to his office with a specific question in mind. "Over a week has passed, and I haven't seen any progress with Amber. Are you incapable of impressing a

You can't boss me around

Amber's pov The doctor's words to me were, "A prominent man needs your service, please." Being a physical therapist has been a part-time job for me when I was still running my pharmaceutical company. However, when the doctor called, pleading without mentioning the person's name, I was eager to take on my part-time work on one condition - to visit the person after my regular job. The doctor sounded desperate, wanting me to come and see the patient immediately. In that case, I decided to call my boss, but Adrian refused to speak to me and instead handed the phone to his butler. I didn't want to displease Adrian and please someone I hadn't met. Additionally, considering my boss's condition, I needed to be extremely cautious and go to my office first. I didn't know why I agreed to the job. It had been a long time since I had done that type of work. Perhaps I always love my physical therapy job where I could help people recover or be free from pain. I possessed the knowledge and exper

My license has expired

Author’s pov In the morning, at the usual time when Dave would leave the house, he stood before the mirror meticulously preparing himself. Clad in an exquisite, expensive long-sleeved shirt, a vibrant red tie that shimmered, and impeccably pressed black trousers, he presented himself with elegance. His hair was expertly styled, swept to the left, giving him a youthful appearance. Little did he know that Gwen was observing him, captivated by his meticulous grooming, as if he were preparing for a date or an important interview.As he turned to grab his suitcase and exit the room, he noticed Gwen standing by the doorway, wearing a sour expression. Her demeanor unquestionably caught Dave's attention. "Where are you going dressed like that? It's been over three weeks, and you haven't mentioned anything about reclaiming your company," she hissed, averting her gaze. Dave approached her, ready to address the situation, but before he could say anything, Gwen interjected. "I can't stay he

A new personality

Amber's pov Rejecting me as a person and dismissing my profession, which I was highly respected in despite not doing it full-time, infuriated me. My feelings for him faded away. I grew tired of constantly trying to please him. I, too, deserve someone who can bring me joy and care. He should seek another therapist whom he appreciates and trusts. I was no longer willing to offer my assistance. Descending the stairs, my sole purpose was to gather some funds as soon as possible and repay his father's money that has entrapped me. If I manage to raise that amount, I won't see myself here in a matter of minutes. As I was about to step onto the floor, leaving the stairs behind, I pondered once more, "How am I going to acquire that kind of huge money?" Sitting on one of the chairs in the living room, I continued to contemplate. If my pharmaceutical company was in my reach, I would have used it to take a loan and be free from here. The more I thought of freeing myself, the more I rememb

One Mr. Martinez is in the living room

Amber’s pov I stood before Adrian, observing the discomfort etched on his face. In a rare display of his humility, I approached him as James approached us. I said to Adrian, "Sir, let's go to your room, and I can assist you in removing it."I wasn't entirely sure why James' presence had quickly changed my mind. Perhaps I didn't want him to witness his boss' expressions or embarrass Adrian in front of one of his subordinates. As we reached his room, Adrian took a seat on the bed while I stood very close to him. In fact, in between his legs. With my right hand, I gently held his hand and began to gradually remove the white material, offering a reminder as I neared its complete removal. "Sir, taking off this white material from your hand won't alleviate your pain. It may even cause some discomfort as we gradually move it into the correct position." "Why?" he inquired. "Because by stretching it, it will initiate the healing process as we gradually adjust it to the right p

Do I work under you?

Amber’s pov I was the one who mistakenly sent Martinez Adrian's address. Even if I had given him my address, shouldn't he have called me first before coming over? I stood at my door, pondering what to do for a few seconds. I had a feeling that Adrian wouldn’t be pleased with such a visit. But as I contemplated the situation, I suddenly felt brave with the following thoughts. "Adrian has never shown any emotional interest in me. What if Martinez has come to give his approval for the ten million dollars I asked him for?" The thought of the ten million dollars and the knowledge that it would free me from Adrian's father energized me, and I made my way towards the sitting room. When Martinez saw me, he stood up and embraced me. Before he could say anything, my eyes quickly scanned the entire sitting room, and when I didn't spot Adrian, my troubled heart eased for a moment. “Is this your house? It’s so beautiful.” "Why didn't you call me before coming?" "Why? Was that man you

Plannning to buy out my freedom

Amber’s pov Dave uttered those words and promptly walked out of the office, not waiting for my response. Was this a threat? Why was he so insistent on going out for a drink with me? What was he up to? Ever since he kicked me out of his house and caused me harm, my hatred for him had intensified, permeating not just my heart but my entire being. I stood there for nearly four minutes, contemplating the direct consequences of his words. I shifted backwards, leaning against my desk, searching for an escape. Just then, my phone rang—it was Adrian calling. I straightened up and answered the call. "Where are you?" he spoke, his anger palpable. "I'm at my office," I replied. "To do what? Who told you to go to the office when I wasn't there?" he interrogated.This question left me at a loss for words. As I pondered how to respond, he added, "Why didn't you seek my permission before leaving the house?"I didn't want to divulge anything about Dave. He had deceived me, and I chose to vie

I want her whereabouts

Author's pov When Dave left the office after threatening to reveal Amber's true identity to Adrian, he returned. He thought he might see Amber again or find a note on his desk about when they would meet. "She didn't leave anything," he thought and he thoroughly checked his desk again, sorting through the papers to see if she had left a note. Feeling unsettled, he went to Amber's desk and scanned her neatly organized workspace. "How cold-hearted she is. Doesn't she care if I lose my company? How will I face Gwen at home? She's always on my nerves. There's still some time for Amber to reconsider what I told her." He leaned back against Amber's desk and paced the floor. Suddenly, he grew confident that Amber wouldn't let him reveal her secret to Adrian. A smile crept across his face as he gently stroked his beard. "What if she agrees today, am I ready for it? She'll be very cautious, and it might be difficult for me to drug her wine in her presence. Why not enlist the help of one

Will you marry me?

Amber’s pov I found myself sympathizing with my chauffeur, whom I cunningly persuaded to buy me ice cream. When he emerged from the ice cream shop and couldn't spot me or the car, I wondered how he would react. I didn't even glance back to check if he had entered the store or not. As he left the car keys on the dashboard, a surge of joy washed over me, as my plans began to take shape. Contemplating whether to visit my grandmother's house first or head straight to Mr. Morgan's residence, I drove at a controlled speed. Ultimately, I decided it would be best to go directly to Adrian's father's house and disclose everything to him. The way I present the situation will play a crucial role in persuading Mr. Morgan that his son rejected my advances. My hand movements and facial expressions will be instrumental in conveying my message. At the end, he will release me when I offer him my mother's exquisite pearls as compensation.Should I first reveal the pearls to him, captivating his admir
