Amber could not stop herself from hugging Devlin tightly. She saw how the immense pain and struggles he had endured all these years were evident on his face, and it broke her heart. Regret washed over her as she realized that she had caused him more pain by walking away without listening to him. The weight of guilt consumed her as she acknowledged that she had wasted five precious years of their lives apart.Yes, she had been hurt by him many times, but that shouldn’t discourage her from believing what they had together five years ago was something very special. It’s important to acknowledge that she had also hurt him in some ways, but dwelling on past mistakes won’t help them now. Instead, they must focus on a significant problem they are facing together. They need to find out who is behind all of these issues, which have escalated to some serious threats.After a while, Amber loosened her embrace from Devlin. However, he gently held onto her, pulling her closer, and tenderly cupped

Later in the afternoon, Amber was preparing her things to get ready to meet Devlin at the parking lot. However, he was already right in her office when she was just gathering all her things.“Hey, I thought you were going to wait for me in the basement.” She said casually while quickly fixing her hair. She already put on a little bit of makeup earlier.“I couldn’t wait to see you, babe.” Devlin immediately went to her and hugged her tightly. He kissed her forehead and then her lips. Amber equally kissed him hotly. It was not a regular peck on the lips. It was a deep kiss that lasted for more than a minute.“We need to go before I take you here.” He said with his hoarse voice. He is trying hard not to lose his control. There is a time for that later in their house. Amber quickly dismissed any thoughts of their intimacy together. That is bound to happen anyway. She admits that she is excited about it.Amber decided to drop by her condo to check her things. She wanted to make sure that

The next day, Amber woke up to the non-stop ringing of her phone. She checked the time. It is way too early for her alarm to make some sounds. ‘Who could be calling her at this time?’ She tried to reach for her phone but could not go further as Devlin’s arm was tightly hugging her. She had to move his arm carefully to not wake him up. By the time she reached for her phone, the call was already off. However, it quickly started ringing again only to show an unknown number. With hesitation, she answered the call. “Got a special gift for you, Mrs. Wesley.” Then the call ended. That quickly sent shivers to her spine. The deep voice of a man sounded robotic. It was a flat tone yet it scared Amber to the core. That call could never be a prank call. No one did that to her. And besides, she used two phones. One for her business transactions while her personal number was only shared among trusted friends. And that call went through her personal number. She checked the time and it is just pa

Amber got herself ready to go to Devlin’s company. She remembered that he had to fix some issues in his company today. However, she wanted to go to him. She left the mansion with her driver. And another car was following her with several bodyguards inside. Devlin would never let Amber go out without them. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she contemplated the situation. She understood Devlin's genuine concern, acknowledging that her adjustment to this level of protection was a work in progress. Reflecting on her life in New York, she recalled the freedom of moving about independently, unburdened by thoughts of potential danger or looming threats. While their current circumstances posed challenges, she refrained from voicing any complaints. Their safety is more important right now.The car stopped just right in front of Devlin’s company. She was riding the latest model of a known luxury car. When she got out and headed to the building, all eyes were on her. The guards did not recognize

Amber sat down on the edge, gazing at Devlin’s peaceful sleeping face. The soft moonlight filtering through the curtains painted a warm glow on his features. She couldn’t help but smile at his vulnerability in sleep, a stark contrast to the confident and strong man he was when awake.With a gentle touch, she traced the lines on his forehead, her fingertips barely grazing his skin. She leaned in to press a feather-light kiss on his forehead, Devlin stirred. His arms tightened around her, pulling her into a warm embrace. Even in his half-sleep state, he sought his presence, drawing her closer as if protecting a cherished secret.Amber chuckled softly, her fingers now entwined in his tousled hair. She marveled at the depth of their connection, the unspoken understanding they shared. She knew the weight he carried, the responsibilities he shouldered, and yet he found solace in her arms.Amber settled back against the headboard, trying to make sure that she wouldn’t wake her husband. She f
