Their faces were cold, and all they could manage was either a timid "sorry, sir" or a submissive "yes, sir" in response to Adrian's words after Amber had left the dining table. Not only were they surprised by how things had turned against them, but they were also utterly bewildered. Nonetheless, they had no choice but to carry out Adrian's order or they would face the consequences. "Fail to comply with my orders, and you'll experience my wrath," Adrian warned, pointing towards the doorpost before dismissing the both of them. Gwen took the lead as fast as her legs could work, heading towards the door, with Dave following suit. Adrian's guards promptly entered the room upon hearing their boss' escalating voice. Two guards accompanied Dave and Gwen out of the building, and they hastily made their way to their car, driving out of the premises. Gwen's fingers fidgeted nervously while they were still within A
James' pov I'm feeling quite anxious about how to spend my first day off, all because of Anita. The day was brightening up, and as I lay on the bed, I couldn't stop thinking about the best way to approach her. If my boss had assigned me to deliver an official message to her, it would have been much easier. I don't understand why I haven't been able to control myself since the first day I laid eyes on her. Should I visit her office today? How should I respond if she asks why I came to see her? Wouldn't she be embarrassed if she knew I was trying to woo her? Unable to lie back down, I sat at the edge of my bed, contemplating both realistic and unrealistic strategies to win her over. Wouldn't it be helpful to know how she spends her time, from her parents' home to her workplace? I quieted my thoughts for a moment and gradually realized that if I knew her daily routine, I could better plan my approach. The days have been counting since my boss informed me about what he observed on
Author's pov Amber intended to retaliate against Dave and Gwen for their past actions, but what was about to unfold might not bode well for either of them. Adrian's facial expressions prevented Amber from leaving. She couldn't express her joy at gaining Adrian's approval, as Adrian strongly disapproved of everything they had put her through. Now, Adrian's concern was how Dave and Gwen had treated the love of his life. "I told you to go to your room." Adrian said again. "But don't harm them. I brought them here as witnesses of what happened to me. I didn't bring them here for you to harm them.” "I promise I won't harm them, but I don't understand the kind of heart you have.” Adrian said, his tone and looks reflecting his anger. Amber couldn't disobey Adrian's command, even though it felt harsh. She left the presence of the three of them and went to her room, her heart pounding. This wasn't what she had expected. "If you didn't want to provoke Adrian, you shouldn't have invit
Author's pov Dave was completely clueless about the situation. He believed that Gwen had accidentally dropped the spoon from her hand. "Sorry dear," he quickly said. Meanwhile, Adrian's attention shifted to Amber, attempting to hold her fingers and assist her in sitting down. As Dave raised his head and glanced at the person sitting close to Adrian, his lips involuntarily parted. All these events were unfolding simultaneously. "We've been waiting for you," Adrian said with a warm smile, unable to take his eyes off Amber's beautiful silver gown, which exposed her off-shoulder. "I'm so sorry. I wanted to look good for you," she said with a sexy winked smile. "You're already beautiful. What would you wear to enhance your pretty face?" He gave her a quick kiss on the lips, and they both turned their attention to Dave and Gwen. This was an absolute shock for Dave and Gwen, and they felt as if their chairs were engulfed in flames, making them very uncomfortable. "Dave, meet
Author's pov "How long will it take you to get ready?" Dave raised his voice after sitting on the couch for over twenty minutes, waiting for Gwen to finish dressing in the bedroom. As he awaited a response from Gwen, he muttered to himself while glancing at the wall clock. "It's nearly 5 pm. When are we going to Adrian's house? I don't even know why Adrian asked me to bring my girlfriend," he whispered slowly and quietly, ensuring Gwen wouldn't overhear. "We're going to the home of a prominent man, Mr. Adrian. I can't take any chances. I need to dress elegantly. There will certainly be photos taken there. Dave doesn't know that all the pictures I take will be uploaded online," she thought. She was almost dressed, giving her face a final touch with a brush. Standing in front of the mirror, she smiled. The gown she wore reviewed her cleavage, and she moved her body to ensure her breasts shook and seduced. "What are you still doing? It's already ten minutes past five. When are w
Author's pov The next morning, Adrian was the first to awaken, gently uncovering himself from the blanket and planting a tender kiss on Amber's cheek as she slumbered. After changing out of his nightgown, he dressed in a different clothes and went out of the room. Adrian was about to embark on a new experience. He made his way directly to the kitchen, his mind filled with thoughts of Amber's favorite meal. Donning an apron, he began his culinary endeavor. The sound of a gas burner filled the kitchen as Adrian walked in. "Who could possibly be here before me?" The cook wondered, feeling at ease as he entered. But when he caught a glimpse of his boss' back, his heart raced. "Sir, are you the one cooking? What have I done wrong? Did I start too late? Furthermore, the day outside is still unclear," he blurted out anxiously, then he felt that Adrian was angry with him for trying to prepare his own food. "Mr. Carlos, I am here to prepare something special for my beloved. She dese
Amber’s pov It's never wise to judge someone from a distance. This holds true for my new relationship with Adrian. Adrian is the most amusing and charming guy I've ever met. I often wonder how different life would be if I hadn't encountered this beautiful soul. Despite the cold water, Adrian's playful nature kept me going and wanting more. If someone had told me that the person I met when I first entered his house was the same person, I would have denied it. As we left the water, I noticed that Adrian could effortlessly move and rotate his previously injured shoulder, which is now completely healed. His hand rested on my waist as we approached the building, and he asked, "Darling, I'm feeling better, but you haven't mentioned your wish yet. Or how will I pay you?" I immediately replied, "Stop saying that. I'm overjoyed to see you move your hand without any pain." He persisted, "How can I show my appreciation? Don't hesitate to tell me what would make you happy. You made me fee
Amber’s pov Adrian's fascination with me has sparked his desire to delve into my past life, a secret I've kept hidden especially since Dave would be coming to our house. "Darling, let's take things one step at a time. It was I who suggested inviting Dave. Having lost both my parents, I'm cautious about revisiting my past. Please, be patient." "If you truly know me, you'd understand that patience isn't my strongest virtue. I want everything just the way I need it. Why should I wait? Are you afraid of me?" he asked, as we neared the end of our ice cream. "Why don't we go on the picnic you mentioned? Time is against us, and we haven't done your daily shoulder exercises.” I needed to change the subject, and though I could see his dissatisfaction, tomorrow was Dave's day to come, and I had saved everything for tomorrow. Little did I know, time was no longer on our side. This meant I couldn't prepare my own meal for the picnic, and we would have to resort to buying fast food at th
Adrian's pov My heart has never experienced such turmoil as it is now. Why would Amber insist on inviting Dave, my father's debtor? I hope my suspicions are unfounded. If I had feelings for Amber, I wouldn't have orchestrated Dave's attempt to seduce and sleep with her. Has he succeeded in his endeavor? The thought kept me tossing and turning throughout the night. The next morning, I called Amber into my room, already consumed by guilt for setting her up. Yet, what if my suspicions were true? Would I still love her? This haunting question gripped my heart mercilessly, like a relentless specter. "Darling, you called for me?" Her voice pierced through me, like a daily dose of emotional vitality my system craved. "Yes, I wanted to see you." She drew closer, and we shared a lingering kiss. She had deliberately mentioned that my shoulder needed to heal completely before she would consider intimacy. This has been the reason she hasn't been sleeping in my room. The mere thought of n
