CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-FOUR *Get back in line, Amber!*The clanging of the mental at the door resumed with full force, yanking her forcibly out of her thoughts.Damn it! She had been so lost in her journey down memory lane that she forget she was in actual danger of getting caught here.But why was she suddenly recalling her past? And why the heck was the thinking about her mother whom she detests so much?*"...I won't give up on you. No matter how far your father intends to push me away. Distance only makes the heart grow fonder. I will always love you, Amber Harvard...*"Her mother's words from 3 years ago chimed in her head.She bit her lower lip furiously.Why the fuck is she thinking about that woman now?She hated her mother and besides, they no longer lived together since her divorce from Dad.So why would her words suddenly make her crave her presence? Or perhaps she is beginning to see reasons as regards what her mother had warned her about?Her father loved and cherished he
CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-FIVE*It can't be!*The eerie silence was so mind-boggling and deafening that her stomach swooped as she waited for the person on the other side of the door to respond.Her breath hitched in her throat.This is long overdue! What gives?She bit her bottom lip angrily.She gulped as she heard the intruder edging closer to the door. Anticipation climbed up my spine at the danger swirling in the air."Who are you? State your identity or I call on the cops! This is privacy intervention and I can sue you know !" she squealed in mild panic. Damn it! She has never been this rattled like this!If her father caught her lacking like this, he would be so mad at her.She gathered herself and straightened her shoulders, puffing out a deep breath."Just open the damn door, Amber. I'm sure as hell you can't call the cops either." The voice dripped with poisonous honey, making her blood boil with fury and rage as the voice registered in her head.It can't be!"Who the heck a
CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-SIX *Get ready to face the consequences**"You are the powerhouse, Amber. You are in control of your life. You are a Harvard and a Harvard, does not relent in the pursuits of power. Power is synonymous with being a Harvard."* Her father's words, Jefferson Harvard, crossed her mind.She inhaled deeply as the words registered in her head.*"You are in charge. Always. Don't you ever forget that my love?"* *"make Daddy proud!"* Yes, daddy, I will!I will not condone any mockery of my powers from anyone, talk less of this silly newbie. She thinks she's all that huh?Conceal your fear and anxiety from the outside world. She must never be caught lacking.She is in charge. In control of this situation.It's about time I put her in a place and show her who the boss is.With a sneer wrapping her face, she angled her neck towards her mockingly, folding her hands tightly across her chest."Cops?" she ribbed. "What cops?"Janice's throat worked ok a swallow. Her eyes f
CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-SEVEN*You are not leaving!*"What?!" Amber squealed in utter shock and quickly clamped a hand over her mouth.Did she hear that right or she's tripping?Hand her over? Could she be talking about Hannah Spikes? But how the hell did she know that Hannah will be here?Except, of course, she had trailed her here. But Hannah swore that Janice believed her cock and bull story of having a family appointment due.What gives? How could she tell that something was off?Clearly, she had underestimated Janice Jordan. This girl is capable of far more than she had initially expected.Damn it! No one should have known about this.If word got out that the big trio had captured a Brighton college student and held her hostage, things will be rough.She would have to handle this before it escalates and involve her father.Her mouth flattened into a tight line."I have the foggiest idea of what you are talking about," Amber said, feigning ignorance.Janice arched an eyebrow at
CHAPTER HUNDRED -FIFTY-EIGHT *She will pay for all the atrocities she had committed!*"You're not leaving Janice Jordan until I find out who you truly are." Amber declared, her amber eyes gleaming with resolution and mischievous delight.Janice stifled a chuckle and shook her head slowly."I don't want to. As a matter of fact, I came here to seek answers to some questions I have and I was hoping you would cooperate with me." Amber clicked her tongue in disapproval and burst out in a burst of roaring laughter."Are you fucking kidding me right now?! You got the nerve to come down here in my territory to command me? In case you don't know, Janice, I am the powerhouse around here and I give the orders. Do you have a backing?" Amber snarled through clenched teeth.This saphead has successfully gotten under her skin. Her blood is boiling at an alarming rapid motion just seeing the smirk and scowl on her face as set rains insults on her and even went as far as belittling her and threateni
CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-NINE *It all ends here and now*"And for the millionth time, I already told you Janice that I have no fucking idea of what are you talking about. For all we know you might probably be the one in a hallucination all along." she quipped, stifling a snicker like a hiccup.Janice clenched her teeth, her condescension grating her nerves. "That's it, Amber. One word out and the cops will arrive here any minute. You don't wanna be goofing around when the stakes are high, do you? So answer the damn question and let me see her.",Then her voice taking a low growl she added, "But mind you, Amber. If you hurt her I swear you won't go unscathed. You will pay dearly for all you have done and all the havoc you have caused for your victims. Plus, I know of Allan Walker's tragic story and how you had a hand in it.",Amber's eyes dilated slightly and quickly narrowed into a steady deep stare.Janice scoffed, "You really thought that hiding the evidence and shutting up the scho
CHAPTER HUNDRED-SIXTY *Just you wait and see*Amber burst into roaring laughter, her eyes misting from the bouts of laughter. She scoffed and clicked her tongue in disapproval."My unlucky day? Says who? The newbie who just got to Brighton College and already playing the hero! ", She barked."You have a death wish or something because you are really begging death to come to you, Janice Jordan."Then, Without warning, Amber lurched at her, gripping the scruff of her neck aggressively, the fangs of her teeth snarling loudly in anger."You are all talk, you dunce. And I'm gonna put you in your place very soon." she hissed in her ears as she leaned forward menacingly.Janice's face curved into a smirk as she stifled a chuckle, further infuriating Amber as her eyes take a darker shade, fuming with rage."Does this sound funny to you? You might lose your life and no one would bloody save you and yet you laugh? You're so dumb really and it amazes me. Never seen anyone who takes a grievous s
CHAPTER HUNDRED-SIXTY-ONE *the dead end?*Janice's lips curved into a sly smile."Wait and see."Amber swallowed a lump down her dry throat, and try as much as possible not to fidget.She forced a smile."What are you planning to do, Janice?" she asked in a tiny voice.Janice giggled sheepishly and shook her head."you know what, sweaty pants. The cops are here and ready. Now, if you know what's good for you, go get Hannah Spikes and bring her to me now!"No this isn't happening to her!How the hell are the cops right here in their highly confidential hideout? How did it get exposed like this? Amber's eyes morphed into a deep narrow gaze.Or, Janice had all this planned out already! She must have been buying time for the cops to arrive.This asshole! How the fuck did she get all this planned out from the very beginning?What is she going to do now?They are in danger of getting exposed and their name and reputation soiled for good!If only Daddy was here. What is she going to do now
