Chapter Forty Eight

Third Person POV.

Amber’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Kayden, her mind struggling to comprehend his

words. Her heart wavered between denial and a sinking feeling of dread.

Her mother had died in a car accident over twenty years ago, and it was a painful memory that had

haunted her for years, especially since it had happened on her birthday. How could Kayden claim

responsibility for something that happened so long ago, even before they ever thought they’d meet?

“What are you talking about, Kayden?” she asked. “My mother died in a car accident years ago. You

couldn’t have had anything to do with it.”

Kayden’s smirk only grew wider as he folded his arms across his chest, relishing the chaos he had

created. “Oh, but Amber, that’s where you’re wrong,” he taunted, his voice dripping with malice.

Richard had been observing the exchange silently, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. He could already

guess where Kayden was headed, and he didn’t like it because he knew that it wouldn’t do Amber

good.

Finally, unable to stay silent any longer, he spoke up. “Amber, don’t listen to him. He’s just trying

to play mind games with you. Don’t pay any attention to him, and let’s just get out of here,” Richard

Kayden’s voice rose to a thunderous volume as he mocked Richard’s reaction. “Scared, Romero? Well, you should be. You don’t want Amber to know the truth, do you? Because it won’t benefit you if she

finds out what really happened to her mother and everyone who knew about it. It’d ruin whatever sick

game you wanted to use her for,” he sneered, a sinister gleam in his eyes.

Confusion engulfed Amber as she shifted her gaze between Kayden and Richard. Her mind was a whirlwind

of emotions, desperately trying to understand what was going on and why Kayden seemed to be so

confident.

Kayden’s admission still lingered in her thoughts, but it made no sense. How could he be responsible
