Chapter Fourteen

Amber’s POV.

“Stop the car for a while, Richard,” I requested, not confident that I could respond the way I wanted to if the car was in motion.

Thankfully, he didn’t seem to have a problem with my request, as he quickly drove into a corner and parked the car.

“Do you have an answer?” he asked.

“Look at me.” I demanded, and he obeyed.

in a position to get back at everyone who made a fool of me and turned me into this person that I detest so much. So think about it, Richard. How ready do you think I am to get my revenge? If you

think my revenge ends with marrying you and climbing up the social ladder, well, you’re wrong, sir.”

“I want blood. I want to break Kayden and make him fall to my feet, helpless and at his worst. I want

Marlene to suffer humiliation, rejection, and pure agony to the point where I won’t mind her killing

herself. As for my family, I want them to lose everything they have and be sent into extreme poverty

and dejection. So to answer your question, there’s nothing I want more than to see those people ruined

and I’ll make sure I ruin them myself. And just so you know, you’re nothing but a stepping stone to
