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
Amber Pov It was the day of my engagement party with Phil, so everyone at home was busy. Grandpa hired a team to decorate the large living room of the house. He wanted Phil and I to hold our engagement party at the hotel but the latter refused. Phil said it would be better if we just did it at home so that even if I was drunk, I could just go up to our room and rest immediately. After what happened when Phil came home drunk, he apologized to me and Grandpa. He said that he was just drunk and had a problem with the company, so I was the one who received his anger. Of course, Grandpa and I loved him so much so we immediately forgave him. Then he told us that he wanted us to have an engagement party so that he could officially introduce me to his business deals, business friends, and relatives who had not yet met me as his wife. He said we got married without having an engagement party so he wanted me to experience that kind of party. I wanted to help decorate the living room but Gr
Amber Pov "What nonsense is this, Phil? If you are joking, then this is not the right time for you to joke like that," Grandpa Fidel angrily glared at Phil. But I know Phil wasn't joking with his words. The only thing I don't understand is why is he doing this. Did he hate me this much to make me hurt and embarrassed to this extent? "I'm not joking, Grandpa. I'm serious about what I said. Janina will be your new granddaughter because she will be my wife soon. And Amber will just be my ex-wife because we are going to divorce right now," Phil answered his Grandfather with a serious face. He took out a folded paper from the pocket of his jacket that might be the divorce letter. It looks like Janina prepared this scene because she took out a ballpen so I could just sign immediately. "No way! It won't happen unless I'm dead. I will never accept that woman as your wife, Phil!" Grandp Fidel shouted angrily. He doesn't care anymore even if he is in front of many reporters."Just accept me
Phil Pov "I already warned you but you did it anyway. And now you're going to get drunk? Isn't this what you want, right? That's why you shouldn't get drunk. You should be happy because you succeeded in hurting the woman you love. And I'm sure, she will never forgive you this time," Alex said when I went to his house after what happened at Amber and I's supposed to be engagement party. "I don't get drunk because I'm sad. I get drunk because I'm happy," I denied my true feelings. "You can fool other people but not me, Phil," Alex said shaking his head. He poured wine into his glass and drank it straight. "I'm the one with the problem but why do you also want to get drunk?" "How can I not get drunk when Mildy broke up with me because of what you did," Alex answered, looking at me badly. "C'mon, Alex. Mildy is not the only woman in your life. You have a lot of reserved women in your palms so you just pull one from them," I answered him indifferently. I don't believe that he is rea
Amber PovI was already inside my room in Mildy's apartment when I regained consciousness. Next to me were my two friends who were very worried and concerned about me."How are you feeling, Amber? We were very worried when you lost consciousness earlier," Mildy spoke to me when she saw that I was awake.Instead of answering her question immediately, I just closed my eyes again. It's because my eyes suddenly clouded when I remembered what Phil did to me. What he did was very painful. And it hurts even more because he just broke up with me without giving me an explanation. And I think he intentionally broke up with me in front of many people to make me embarrassed. But why? What did I do wrong that made him hate me?I feel like Phil is hiding something from me that he doesn't want to say. But whatever it was, I couldn't forgive him. He humiliates me and makes me stupid in front of all the guests. If he didn't have the intention of marrying me again, though we were already married at tha
Amber PovA week after Jared and I met he formally courted me. He didn't show any bad attitude towards me so I let him flirt with me. Mildy didn't stop me from flirting with Jared either instead she voted Jared for me. If there was anyone who disagreed with Jared flirting with me it was none other than Nikky. He is against it because Jared is Janina's brother. But he's far away from me so he can't do anything even if I flirt with Jared.I always go with Jared when he asks me out. He is funny so I enjoy being with him. And one more thing, I don't want to be left in the apartment alone especially at night because I will only think of Phil. Mildy is temporarily living in their house now because her father is sick and she wants to take care of her father personally. Even if I was left alone in her apartment, I still wouldn't be hungry because Mildy left her ATM card with me. For now, I will rely on her but when I find a good job I will repay the favors she has done for me.I sleep duri
Amber PovI excuse myself to Jared because I want to go to the bathroom. I had been feeling the call of nature for a while but suddenly retreated when I talked to Phil and Janina. The bathroom of Jared's uncle was only on the first floor of the house so I easily found it.After I released the call of nature, I washed my hands before going out. I was surprised when I came out of the bathroom and saw Phil outside the ba as if he was waiting for me. After all, who else was he waiting for inside the bathroom but me because I was the only one inside?I didn't show that I was surprised to see him. I intended to ignore him but as I passed by him, he stopped me by the arm."Let's talk, Amber," he spoke to me with a dark face. I face him with a sharp look."As far as I know, you've put an end to everything between us, so we don't have anything else to talk about, Mr. Salvatore," I answered him with a serious face. "Excuse me and maybe Jared is waiting for me so I have to go."I was about to l
