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.

“Good,” I muttered. “Now listen, Richard, all my life, I have always been seen as the gullible and easy–to–please one because of how much I accepted and looked away from a lot of bullshit. I have been

disrespected, cheated on, abandoned, and humiliated by the people I loved and thought loved me as well. I am barely hanging on right now, and if I wasn’t such a weakling. I probably would have ended

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

me,” I said, making myself as clear as possible.
