It had been almost four days since Amber met Richard, and the encounter had occupied her thoughts continuously. As much as she acknowledged that accepting his offer was risky and embarrassing, she couldn’t help but contemplate the potential benefits of his proposal.

If there was one thing she had to concede, Richard was correct in identifying her as a scornful

woman.

Since witnessing Marlene and Kayden’s wedding. Amber has struggled to sleep well at night. Recurring nightmares haunted her, featuring the joyous exchange of vows between her sister and ex–husband, despite the profound betrayal it represented.

The emotional toll that the entire situation took on her was excruciating, especially since they showed no pretense of caring about her or her feelings. After seeing that she had become nonexistent to them, her desire to exact revenge on both of them and make them regret turning her into a laughingstock consumed her.

Richard’s offer proved to be tempting, presenting an opportunity for her to gain the power necessary to confront Kayden and Marlene. Since her own family had now abandoned her and she had no one else to turn to, Richard seemed like her best bet at getting the payback she desperately wanted.

And after days of contemplation, Amber decided it was time to respond.

Richard had provided his business card for her to contact him, and she had concluded that peace was unattainable unless she sought revenge on her ex–husband and sister.

Retrieving his business card from her bedroom, Amber made her way to the kitchen and picked up her phone to make the call. After a few deep breaths, she found the courage to dial his number. As the phone rang, each second felt like an eternity. Finally, the call was answered by a feminine voice,

presumably Richard’s secretary.

“Good afternoon. This is the office of Mr. Romero. Who is this, and how may I help you?” the

secretary inquired.

Exhaling deeply, Amber responded, “I’m Amber. Amber Grey. Mr. Romero had personally given me his

business line to call him concerning a proposal, and I would like you to let him know that I’m ready to give him a response.”
