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
The moment they landed in Seattle, they immediately went to the mansion that Devlin had purchased a long time ago for his future family. Amber stood at the entrance, her eyes widening as she took in the grandeur of the place. The mansion’s architecture exuded a timeless elegance, and the surrounding garden seemed to stretch endlessly, adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. She thought that nothing can beat the grandiosity of Devlin’s mansion in New York but this huge place truly is incomparable. It has just captured Amber’s heart.As they stepped inside, Amber’s breath caught in her throat. The interior was nothing short of breathtaking. A sweeping staircase adorned with intricate carvings led to the upper floors. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm and inviting glow over the spacious foyer. The walls were adorned with exquisite paintings, each telling a story of its own.She ventured out into the backyard, and what greeted her left her utterly astounde
Amber got herself ready to go to Devlin’s company. She remembered that he had to fix some issues in his company today. However, she wanted to go to him. She left the mansion with her driver. And another car was following her with several bodyguards inside. Devlin would never let Amber go out without them. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she contemplated the situation. She understood Devlin's genuine concern, acknowledging that her adjustment to this level of protection was a work in progress. Reflecting on her life in New York, she recalled the freedom of moving about independently, unburdened by thoughts of potential danger or looming threats. While their current circumstances posed challenges, she refrained from voicing any complaints. Their safety is more important right now.The car stopped just right in front of Devlin’s company. She was riding the latest model of a known luxury car. When she got out and headed to the building, all eyes were on her. The guards did not recognize
