The cab pulled up a few meters away from the house so Amber had to walked to the house. "I can see the old you is back," Master Dan who was sitting in the living room chuckled as soon as Amber walked in. "Good evening Master Dan," Amber said trying not to sound irritated."Where have you been? Something's up your sleeve." Master Dan said without sparing her a glance. "I don't understand.....""Nevermind," Master Dan said waving her away. Amber glared at the old man before taking the stairs. She opened the door and saw Maya sitting in her bed."M....Maya...." Amber stammered as she walked in. ""I've been looking all around the house for you,"Maya smiled."Oh...I went out to catch some fresh air," Amber said joining Maya on the bed. "You could have told me, I was so bored here ,"Maya said rolling her eyes. "Oh I thought you were tired and needed so rest," Amber said. "Anyway, I've planned a girls day out for us tomorrow," Maya said, pure excitement evident in her voice. "Maddie
"What happened? Where were you? How did this happen?" Damian fired Maddie with questions. She tried to speak but the tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Where's Amber? I know she's behind this." Damian said angrily, hie eyes looking around."Amber got shot too, she....she...she tried to save Maya." Maddie hiccupped."What?!" Damian said, his eyes searching Maddie's."We were shopping when the man shot at Maya. I was at the far end and Amber tried to save Maya. The bullet hit her arm before touching Maya.""So where is Amber?" Damian asked, impatiently."In ward six." Damian run to the ward immediately. Amber's arm was being wrapped in a bandage when he walked in. The nurse left immediately leaving the two alone." I know you .....""Thanks for what you did for Maya. You've really changed like you said," Damian said and Amber felt her heart skip a beat. Damain just talked to her nicely. His gaze had softened a bit too, "Don't mention. That's the least I can do for someo
Amber tried to hide her worry but it didn't work. It was drawn all over her face beads of sweat started forming on her forehead despite the fan being on. She would occasionally sigh and looked st the door for any sign of Ron or someone Damian could have sent to investigate the matter. Her heart would stop anytime Damian's phone screen lit up. Seconds turned into minutes as the time passed and Damian's phone finally rang. A slight shiver washed over her when Damian's thumb hit the accept button. "Did you find anything." Amber heart stopped as she waited for what would come next. "What do you mean by nothing 'sir'?" Damian said angrily the word 'Sir' leaving sarcastically out of his mouth. Amber let out a deep breath. She was safe for now and she didn't have much time. 'Where the hell is Viper and why wasn't he answering her calls. "If I don't get any information about whoever was behind the shooting, I'll bury you alive," Damian threaten the person on the other end. Amber knew he
"I don't know why you thought I was behind all this. I clearly risked my life to save and even got injured in the process. And what did that so called bestie of hers do? Nothing, absolutely nothing," Amber kept ranted on as they drove out of the police station. " Maya is fighting for her life, I've got a broken arm and her...Maddie, she left the place perfectly fine. She left in...""Enough Amber!" Damian yelled, hitting the brakes suddenly. A loud screeching sound erupted and Amber was forcefully jerked forward. Thanks to her seatbelt, she was still in her seat. "Can't you just stop for a minute?" Damian said sucking in a deep breath."I'm s..sorry," Amber said looking away from him."I'm sorry, I yelled at you. I'm just stressed and a lot is running through my mind. I feel like I'm going crazy," Damian sighed. "I know how you feel," Amber said rubbing his arms. Her heart was exploding with joy because Damian was finally softening up towards her. She would soon work her way into hi
"Amber!" Maya's heart made her heart jumped. Amber heaved a huge relief sigh and turned to Maya. 'Thank goodness it was all my imagination," Amber said to herself. Those images were vivid, it was like something was being revealed to her. 'Calm down Amber, just calm down," she told herself taking in deep breaths."Are you ok? You look so absentminded and distant. Is something bugging you?" Maya asked. "No, it's nothing. I'm just drained,"Amber smiled, hoping that would be enough to shut her up."Then why don't you go home and rest?" Maya suggested. "No, Damian is going to get mad. Besides he asked me to stay here with you. He won't forgive me if something happens to you,"Amber sighed."Just go, I know what to tell him when he arrives," Maya insisted and Amber nodded."I'll see you later" Amber said and got up to leave.Maya nodded and mumbled a goodbye as Amber walked out. Amber crosses the street to the other side where a cab immediately pulled up. She hopped in and just when the
At this point Damian was confused. He didn't know what to believe or who to believe. It's been three days now and he hasn't come to a definite conclusion.His grandfather said the man was lying and that someone else had hired him to do it. He was only framing Maddie because the person must've payed him. The man, Viper, also swears Maddie was behind it. Damian didn't know what to do. He hasn't even told his wife about it yet and it was eating him up. Maya snuggled closer to him breaking his chain of thoughts. He looked down at her sleeping figure and let out a sigh as he placed his chin on her head. "Damian?" Maya mumbled sleepily."Hmmm," Damian hummed."What's wrong with you?" She asked, raising her head to look at him."You look stressed. It's as if something is bothering you," she added.Something was bothering him. How was he supposed to tell her he had her best friend locked up. "It's just some work stress but...""Hello brother," the door swung open and a man who looked slightl
"Hello baby girl," Oliver smirked as soon as Master Dan left the room. Now he was alone with Amber and he really wanted to capture the look on her face. She looked like she had seen a ghost. "Oh..... I have a surprise for you," Oliver chuckled pulling his phone out of his pocket. He turned the phone towards Amber and her face pales in surprise? Shock? Fear? Or maybe all three. Oliver didn't know which one to go for, but, he loved what he was seeing."H....how did you get that?" Amber stammered."The real question is how will Damian and his wife react if they find out," Oliver chuckled."You'll do no such thing," Amber warned, trying to hide the fear bubbling up in her."And who are you to stop me?" Oliver laughed."What do you want?" Amber asked through gritted teeth."Me? I don't want anything from you. Maybe I want to see you in jail. That's all," Oliver shrugged, turning to walk away."Wait! What if we become partners? I'll get you eighty percent of Damian's property if we succee
Damian didn't have any choice than to let Maddie be released from jail. Viper had successfully managed to escape with the help of an external person, that's what an officer told him. Whoever did that was messing with the wrong person and he was going to make sure the person regretted it. He was determined to hunt the person down even if it was the last thing he did. It's been a week now since Maya was discharged from the hospital and he wanted to plan a honeymoon for her. Just the two of them on the beach grandpa had bought for their wedding. The property was signed in Damian's name but he later changed it to Maya's, which he had intended to surprise her with. The bathroom door swung open and Maya walked out, with a towel wrapped around her petite frame. She smiled at Damian before going to the closet to grab her pajamas. *******Flashback*********Damian drove into his compound. The house was quiet because he had given all the maids and security guards a week off. He didn't trust a
