Amber Pov I couldn't stop my anger so I slapped Harlen. I put up with the bad words she says to me but it's a different story when she badmouthed Grandpa Fidel. She has no right to say those bad words against Phil's grandfather. "How dare you slap me!" Harlen snorted angrily as she held the side of her face that I strongly slapped. "That's not the only thing you will taste when I hear you again bad-mouthing, Grandpa Fidel!" I angrily threatened him. "Grandpa my ass!" Harlen hissed at me. "Why, Amber? Are you embarrassed that everyone will know that you're having an affair with a man who has four m's that's why you're denying it? A rich old man who's about to die is really your grandfather? And besides, You're a slut, Amber. You are seducing not only Sir Phil but also an old man who looks like he's going to die tomorrow?" Harlem insulted and laughed at me. My ears heated even more because of what she said. How dare she make played with Grandpa Fidel's life. She is too much. My h
Amber Pov"Are you all right, Grandpa?" I asked Grandpa Fidel worriedly as we got out of his car when we reached their house.After the commotion that happened earlier at the mall, Phil fired the father and daughter from their post. I, on the other hand, accompanied Grandpa to go home because he suddenly became weak after knowing the reason why Harlen and I fought.Phil wanted to go with his grandfather because he was worried about the old man's condition, but he had a meeting for the official dismissal of Harlen's father and then he was going to his other company, the Salvtore Conglomerate. He said that he has a meeting with the shareholders because his uncle Jigo is making another move to usurp his position.Uncle Jigo seems to be taking advantage of the fact that Phil is often away from the company because he was busy in the Sunshine Shopping Mall so he brainwashed the other shareholders in the company."I'm fine, Amber. Thank you for taking me home. And I'm sorry because I've caus
Amber Pov"You're drunk so you better go home, Melvin. Let's talk later when you're sober," I shooed him away. I tried to hide the nervousness in my voice at the moment.Melvin laughed slightly when he heard what I said. "Really, Amber? You're going to talk to me when I'm sober? Who are you fooling? You're even avoiding me and now you're going to say that we'll when I'm sober? I think we could talk now because no one will disturb us, especially that arrogant Phil.""Please go, Melvin. If you don't leave I'll be forced to call the police," I threatened him. I took my cellphone from my bag and was about to dial the emergency number of the police but Melvin quickly approached me and grabbed my cellphone away from me. He threw my cellphone on the floor so I couldn't use it."You think I'm going to let that happen?" he asked me, a devilish smile formed on his lips. This time I saw him as a demon who wants to harm an innocent human. "You're only mine, Amber. And you'll be mine forever aft
Amber Pov After Phil and I got back together he transferred me from my work. He made me his personal assistant. I lived in his house again because that's what he wanted. Grandpa Fidel and Karen were happy because Phil and I finally got back together. I begged Phil that when we were at work our relationship would be boss-employee only so that I wouldn't be singled out. I'm afraid that everyone will look down on me because I don't fit in with him. At first, Phil was against it but eventually, he also agreed to what I wanted. As Phil's personal assistant, I do nothing but make him coffee, help his secretary organize documents when there is a meeting, and accompany him to the party events he goes to. It's like I'm just playing around and not working but he's paying me. Even though I'm not used to attending parties, I'm forcing myself to get used to it because Phil often attends events related to his business just like today. Phil attended a charity auction party and tag me along. In t
Amber PovI walked into the entrance's hotel to return to the party so Janina won't have a chance to seduce my husband when I suddenly stop walking. I feel that pair of eyes are staring at me. Actually, I felt that someone was staring at me the moment I stepped out of the hotel and walked to the garden. But I'm not the only one standing in the garden because some guests are also in there so no one may look at me unintentionally so I just ignore that feeling. But right now, I really feel that someone was staring at me only.I quickly turned around my eyes and scanned the people near me to see if one of them was looking at me. But I didn't see anyone who looked at me purposely. I shrugged my shoulders and took a deep sigh. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.I decided to continue to walk into the hotel but at the corner of my eyes, I suddenly saw a familiar figure looking at me. "Dad?" I quickly looked at him to see if he really was my dad. But the man suddenly turned his back on me.My hea
Amber PovJanina's face was all over the news because of her failed proposal to Phil. Many reports want to have an interview with Phil and me regarding the marriage proposal of the actress but Phil refused to speak to the public and also he didn't allow me to talk to any reporters. He said we are not celebrities so we don't need to explain to the public about the current issues that Janina was facing even if it involved them too.Phil asked me to stop being her assistant and stay in the house. She doesn't want me to feel awkward in the company because he knows that everyone in the company will know about us once they see us in the news.I followed what he wanted. I think staying in the house is not a bad thing. I will have more time to take care of Grandpa Fidel."What is this, Grandpa?" I asked Grandpa Fidel when he gave me a small box and told me to open it. I was busy helping Felix prepare our dinner when Grandpa asked me to go to his room. And when I entered his room I saw him si
Phil Pov I've been waiting for the person I'm meeting now but I've been waiting for him for almost an hour but he still hasn't shown up. I don't understand but I feel nervous. Maybe something bad happened to Ferrer that's why he's still not here. Ferrer is the detective I paid to investigate the accident nine years ago that killed my parents and Amber's father. I have a suspicion that it was a stage accident and not just a normal accident. Even if the police told me and Grandpa that what happened to my parents was purely an accident my instincts told me that it was not. And I need to investigate it to find out the truth. I've been investigating that accident for many but since I became the CEO of Grandpa's company I only had limited time to investigate so I hired a detective to do it. Ferrer is one of Alex's brother's friends and his brother referred him to me. A while ago, Ferrer called me and informed me that he discovered something new about the accident that I definitely di
Phil Pov "That's enough, Bro. You're already drunk. I'm going to take you home," Alex said when I was about to open another bottle of wine. I called him earlier and went to his house to have a drink. I want to drown myself in wine. I wanted to temporarily forget what I had discovered. "Don't stop me, Bro. This is the only way for me to temporarily forget about the problem I'm facing now." I continued opening the bottle of wine and poured it into my glass. I immediately drank the wine as if I was very thirsty. "Think about the people who are worried about you, Phil. Your grandfather and Amber. I'm sure they're both worried now because it's already dawn and you haven't come home yet, which you haven't done before. So stop drinking and I will take you to your house," Alex continued to convince me. A bitter smile crossed my lips when Alex mentioned Amber's name. "Amber," I said the name of the girl I love. Why is fate playing with us? When our relationship was going well, that was w
