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.
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
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
Meanwhile, Devlin is at the bar, getting himself wasted again. He had a heated argument with his dad when they went out of the library. His dad was accusing him of bringing Amber into his game to get as much money from his late grandmother. “How could you do this, Devlin?! You have gone too far?” His dad was shouting. Good thing they are in the lounge area and no one could hear them from the outside. Amber is still in the library with the lawyer. “I did not do anything. Blame it on grandma who changed her mind at the last minute.” He does not know why he has to explain to his dad. And he does not want to appear rude. But he has enough of his dad’s insulting words against him. For years, he had to endure everything from constant comparison to his achiever brother to getting the wrath of his father for his failures in school. “I know you don’t care about this family but you should have respected the memory of your grandmother. She would be utterly devastated knowing what you did.” C
Devlin’s senses were dulled by the weight of alcohol that he consumed. However, he was not too wasted to not notice his surroundings. Looking at the familiar ceiling, he knows that he is back in his own room. Then, the door to his room gently opened. He saw a white figure standing just at his door. He tried to pretend that he is not aware of anything, that he is asleep like a baby. He heard the soft sounds of her footsteps as she moved around his room. Then, he smelled her natural feminine scent which he started to get used to. Then, after a few minutes, he felt Amber slowly lifting his right arm. She started to wipe away the traces of his intoxication. She cleaned him so gently. Devlin was only feeling her presence. Her gentle touch, her show of care, her patience with him… all of those he took for granted because he saw her in a different light. He saw her as a scheming vixen. He could not understand himself. Earlier, he was so angry at her that he thought he could hurt her real
Devlin spent his weekend with Amber. He has the clarity of mind to sort out things between him and Amber. After realizing about his situation, he resolved to settle his issue with Amber. For days, he has been angry at her since he blamed him for everything. But after seeing Amber taking good care of him despite everything, she must be something. Maybe his grandmother is right all along about her. They were at the private pool of Devlin’s penthouse when he opened the topic. Amber was wearing a yellow dress that was just above the knee while Devlin was wearing his casual walking shorts and a shirt. They were just sitting next to each other. “Amber, I want us to talk.” She was silent when she heard his words. They haven’t spoken about anything else except trivial things. Probably, it’s for the best that they talk now when Devlin is not angry. “Hmm..what is it about?” Amber was staring at the pool while waiting for Devlin to say something more. “First off, I do apologize for everythin
They have been on the road for more than two hours now. Amber has no idea where they are going. Devlin would never tell her anything. She thought they would just drive around the city. Looking at some wooded areas, she is guessing that they are now outside the city. The places that they passed by started to be less crowded. So instead of bugging Devlin with her question to where they are going, she decided to enjoy the view. The place she is currently looking at right now has more verdant green trees. And of course, she would never miss the majestic mountain ranges. Another two hours later, they reached their destination. “Wow! This is so amazing!” Amber could not help but admire the view in front of her. They are in Port Angeles. It is a few miles away from Mt. Olympus but Devlin said that the mountain is not visible from their place. She is actually looking at Hurricane Ridge. The area of Port Angeles is surrounded by a great body of water. Along the way, she already saw some p
“So, where are we going to have dinner? I am excited.” Amber said, beaming with excitement. She does not have any idea what’s in for her tonight. She thought they would go somewhere to a nice restaurant…a dinner date perhaps. She is already mentally thinking about what they are going to do at the restaurant. She imagines Devlin, her handsome date, talking some sweet nothings to her. But she stopped herself…Devlin never really talked about sweet nothings to her. She felt that he has changed a lot towards the way he treats her but there was no sweet talk from him. The kind of words that any woman would love to hear from their man. She forgot that he is not exactly her man. He is her husband only in papers. She got slightly disappointed but tried to hide her disappointment. She looked at Devlin. He looks happy and she does not want to ruin the mood tonight for both of them just because she entertained some negative thoughts. “Are you ready?” Devlin stopped her from her line of thoughts
