Chapter 67

Chapter Sixty Seven
Third Person POV
Amber took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest as she tried to steel herself against the nerves creeping up in her. Tonight was no ordinary night, and even though she had told herself many times that she wasn’t going to be nervous, she still couldn’t help how she felt.
They were attending the extravagant birthday party of Louis Vidal, the famous French fashion designe known for his stunning creations and lavish lifestyle. It was an elite affair, filled with
celebrities from all walks of life, ranging from artists to businessmen, models, and other designers as well. According to Richard, It was less of a birthday party, and more of a gathering to either show off, your wealth and success or build your social network.
As they arrived at the grand hall, Amber’s eyes widened in awe. The place was enormous, with luxurious decorations adoming every corner, and a sea of elegantly dressed individuals mingling and
sipping champagne.
Richard noticed Amber’s nervousness and gently took her hands in his, giving them a reassuring squeeze to remind her that he was by her side.
Amber turned to look at him, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Despite being nervous about her first public appearance with him, she knew nothing could go wrong as long as he was with her
With his hands holding on to her wrist, they walked into the hall, Amber’s steps guided by a mixture
of excitement and nervousness, while Richard wanted nothing more than to be anywhere else but her
As they crossed the threshold, Amber’s breath caught in her throat. The sheer number of people was
staggering, making her almost gasp. She had expected the party to be crowded, but she hadn’t
anticipated the magnitude of the gathering. Famous faces filled the room, some recognizable from their appearances on TV, others unknown to her.
Richard noticed the surprise etched on her features and leaned down slightly, his voice barely
audible over the hum of conversation. “Get ready to smile until your lips turn dry” he teased. “It’s
going to be an eventful night, Amore. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Amber rolled her eyes at his dramatic statement, a hint of amusement breaking through her nerves. “Richard, it can’t be that bad,” she replied. “You don’t have to make it sound like we’re going to have a conversation with every single person in here.

Richard chuckled, instinctively taking her hand in his again and intertwining his fingers with hers as he led her further into the hall. “Maybe not every single person,” he admitted. “But you’d be
surprised how many people are excited to meet you, and those that’ll pretend to like me, when they car
t stand me. But don’t worry, I’ll be by your side the entire time, and you’ll soon see for yourself
what I’m talking about”
As they took a few steps forward, their progress through the crowd was momentarily halted by an
enthusiastic voice calling out Richard’s name. Immediately, Richard let out an exasperated sigh and
muttered a series of cuss words under his breath, knowing that the inevitable whirlwind of social
interactions had begun.
“And so it begins,” Amber overheard him say under his breath.
She couldn’t help but chuckle at his resigned tone. “Well, Romero, get ready to smile until your lips
tum pale,” she quipped.
Amber and Richard turned around in synchrony, their curiosity piqued as they sought to identify the
person who had called Richard’s name. To Richard’s surprise, the familiar face of his best friend,
Killian Dane, emerged from the crowd. A wide grin crossed Killian’s face as he approached them, his
arms outstretched for a hug.
“Richard, you sneaky bastard!” Killian exclaimed, pulling Richard into a tight hug. “I can’t believe
you didn’t tell me you were coming. It’s good to see you, man!”
Richard, accustomed to Killian’s boisterous greetings, chuckled and playfully pushed him away. “Get
off me, you nutcase,” he teased. “I didn’t know you’d be here either. What are you doing at Vidal’s
party?”
Killian scoffed, rolling his eyes dramatically. “What else would I be doing at an event like this?”
he retorted. “But enough about me, look who we have here.” Killian turned his attention to Amber, a
warm smile spreading across his face. “Amber, it’s a pleasure to meet you again. You look absolutely
stunning tonight”
Amber recognized Killian as Richard’s best man from their wedding, and she returned his smile. “Thank
you, Killian,” she replied graciously. “It’s wonderful to see you too. How have you been?”
Killian shrugged casually. “Oh, you know, causing trouble as always,” he quipped. “So, how’s it been,
being married to my stu pid friend here? Has he been too much to handle?”

Amber laughed, finding herself at ease in Killian’s presence. “Oh, it’s not too bad,” she assured him. “He has his moments, but he’s alright.”
Richard then turned his attention back to Killian, his curiosity getting the better of him. “Alright, enough small talk,” he said. “What on earth are you doing at Vidal’s party? I know you would never willingly come to an event like this. Did something happen?”
Killian let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through his hair. “Well, my dear friend,” he began. “My mother couldn’t blackmail any of my older brothers into being her partner for the night, so guess
who got bullied into coming? Yours truly.”
Richard burst into laughter, eaming a death glare from Killian. “That serves you right,” he
