Chapter Thirty Five

Amber’s POV.

We arrived at Richard’s place, or should I say my new home, but instead of feeling excited about anything, I felt a wave of confusion wash over me, specifically when Richard silently stepped out of the car and opened my door without saying a word to me..

His lack of communication startled me, and I couldn’t help but wonder what could have caused this sudden change in his demeanor. Gripping the edge of my wedding dress tightly, I trailed behind him, desperately trying to make sense of his silent behavior.

We entered the house, and I finally mustered the courage to break the silence. “Richard, what’s going on?” I questioned, my voice laced with concern. “Are you upset about something?”

Richard turned back to look at me, his expression devoid of emotion. “There is no problem, Amber,” he replied curtly, his tone harsher than I had ever heard before.

The disinterest in his voice sparked skepticism in me, fueling my belief that something had indeed upset him. A nagging thought crept into my mind, wondering if it was my admission in the car concerning the kiss that had caused this change in him.

Before I could voice my concerns, Richard continued speaking, his voice lacking the warmth and silliness I had come to associate with him. “Your room is the guest room you stayed in a few days ago,” he stated, his gaze held firmly on mine. “I had it rearranged to make it more comfortable. Anything you need, ring the bell in your room, and a servant will attend to you.”

His words were delivered with finality, leaving no room for further discussion. With a stern expression on his face, he bid me, goodnight and walked away, leaving me standing there in confusion.

I watched him ascend the stairs. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I made my way to my assigned room. The feeling of warmth and satisfaction we had shared during the wedding seemed to have dissipated,

replaced by an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Even though our marriage was a charade, it didn’t sit well with me that we were already having issues on our first day as husband and wife.
