“Devlin? You are here. Why did you never tell me that you are coming? I could have prepared something great for lunch, your favorite.” Marmee gave Devlin a big smile. She thought it was only Devlin who came to the farm like he used to do. Amber was left standing next to the car on the other side. Her grandmother did not see her. But hearing her cheerful voice towards Devlin made her eyebrows cross.‘Since when did they become close to each other? She must be missing something. Her marmee is not telling her anything. She has been visiting her but she never ever mentioned Devlin at all.“Marmee, how are you? I missed you so much.” Devlin went to hug her and even planted a kiss on her cheek. Marmee just giggled. “You just came here two weeks ago. I hope next time you come here, you could bring my Amber with you.” She said, still did not notice her granddaughter’s presence. Amber was listening from afar and she is more surprised to hear about what her marmee just said. She was observin
Devlin entered the kitchen to check on Amber and her grandmother. As he approached the door, he noticed that they were both crying and embracing each other tightly. Understanding the need for privacy during such an emotional moment, Devlin quietly stepped back and left them alone, giving them the space they needed.After concluding his conversation with the hired bodyguard he got for marmee, Devlin felt relieved that things were going well. He was grateful that he could protect Amber and her grandmother from the troubles he was facing. Despite his efforts, he still hadn’t been able to uncover the mastermind behind the incident that caused his company’s downfall five years ago. During his pursuit of justice, two employees from his company had bravely spoken up against the mastermind, but tragically, both ended up dead in jail after being poisoned.The police released a list of suspects, and surprisingly, one of them was Devlin’s own brother due to their past disagreements. However, af
As Amber sat at the lunch table with Devlin and her marmee, a radiant smile lit up her face. The feeling of contentment and happiness washed over her, and she couldn’t find the words to describe how much this moment meant to her. Five years ago, this very scenario was her dream - to be surrounded by the most special people in her life, sharing a meal together in harmony.After her heart-to-heart conversation with her marmee, she felt a change in her perspective and a deeper appreciation for the relationships that meant the most to her. The bond with her grandmother had deepened. And she felt that stronger connection with Devlin after learning some things from him. As they laughed, shared stories,and savored the delicious meal, Amber knew that she had completely changed her heart towards Devlin. She has already decided that she would give Devlin another chance. She would take him back in her life. And this time, she would never run away. She would stay by his side. And listen to what
Amber could not stop herself from hugging Devlin tightly. She saw how the immense pain and struggles he had endured all these years were evident on his face, and it broke her heart. Regret washed over her as she realized that she had caused him more pain by walking away without listening to him. The weight of guilt consumed her as she acknowledged that she had wasted five precious years of their lives apart.Yes, she had been hurt by him many times, but that shouldn’t discourage her from believing what they had together five years ago was something very special. It’s important to acknowledge that she had also hurt him in some ways, but dwelling on past mistakes won’t help them now. Instead, they must focus on a significant problem they are facing together. They need to find out who is behind all of these issues, which have escalated to some serious threats.After a while, Amber loosened her embrace from Devlin. However, he gently held onto her, pulling her closer, and tenderly cupped
It had truly been a wonderful weekend for Amber, one she wished could stretch on endlessly. Regrettably, she needed to return to New York alongside Devlin. With her responsibilities to manage her company, she couldn’t linger any longer. Yet, the lingering question remained - what are Devlin’s plans for the future?She hoped her grandmother would accompany her back to New York , but marmee was adamant about remaining at the farm. She expressed that her life was deeply connected to the farm. Amber was sad that she couldn’t convince her grandmother to come. She promised to come visit her more often.Currently, Amber finds herself in her office, engrossed in sifting through her paperwork when the sound of a knock interrupts her concentration. The source of the interruption is Devlin, his appearance suggesting he has recently taken a shower. His hair is still damp and he is freshly shaven. Without hesitation, Devlin strides purposefully toward her, bestowing a kiss upon her lips.“Good mor
Later in the afternoon, Amber was preparing her things to get ready to meet Devlin at the parking lot. However, he was already right in her office when she was just gathering all her things.“Hey, I thought you were going to wait for me in the basement.” She said casually while quickly fixing her hair. She already put on a little bit of makeup earlier.“I couldn’t wait to see you, babe.” Devlin immediately went to her and hugged her tightly. He kissed her forehead and then her lips. Amber equally kissed him hotly. It was not a regular peck on the lips. It was a deep kiss that lasted for more than a minute.“We need to go before I take you here.” He said with his hoarse voice. He is trying hard not to lose his control. There is a time for that later in their house. Amber quickly dismissed any thoughts of their intimacy together. That is bound to happen anyway. She admits that she is excited about it.Amber decided to drop by her condo to check her things. She wanted to make sure that
It has been a blissful week for both Devlin and Amber. She returned to work the next day with no issues. She has been busy doing her routine paperwork plus attending some meetings. Now, her bodyguards are accompanying her wherever she goes. It was Devlin’s order. And it was not until Friday that the news broke out about Devlin and her. She was on her way to the car after a meeting with a client when some reporters suddenly appeared in front of her. “Ms. Adams, could you please confirm about the budding romance between you and Mr. Wesley?” Said the first reporter who came into her view.“Ms. Adams or should I say Mrs. Wesley, I have a report that you married Mr. Wesley five years ago. How true is that?” Asked another reporter. She was walking fast so she could get away from all these reporters. She felt like a deja vu. It happened also five years ago when reporters would flock her way just to get a scoop between her and Devlin. She was glad that she was surrounded by her bodyguards.
The next day, Amber woke up to the non-stop ringing of her phone. She checked the time. It is way too early for her alarm to make some sounds. ‘Who could be calling her at this time?’ She tried to reach for her phone but could not go further as Devlin’s arm was tightly hugging her. She had to move his arm carefully to not wake him up. By the time she reached for her phone, the call was already off. However, it quickly started ringing again only to show an unknown number. With hesitation, she answered the call. “Got a special gift for you, Mrs. Wesley.” Then the call ended. That quickly sent shivers to her spine. The deep voice of a man sounded robotic. It was a flat tone yet it scared Amber to the core. That call could never be a prank call. No one did that to her. And besides, she used two phones. One for her business transactions while her personal number was only shared among trusted friends. And that call went through her personal number. She checked the time and it is just pa
