After Richard and Amber moved away from the confrontation with Kayden, Richard couldn’t help but feel a surge of concern for his wife. He turned to her, his eyes scanning her face for any signs of

distress.

“Amber, are you okay?” he asked. “That must have been tiring to deal with. I’m sorry you had to deal

with him on a day like this.”

Amber sucked in a breath, her face briefly displaying a mix of emotions before settling into a determined expression. She paused for a few seconds, gathering her thoughts, before responding.

“I have to admit, Richard, I was initially feeling a little intimidated,” Amber confessed. “This is such a huge party, and everyone here seems so important and prominent in some way, so I couldn’t help but feel a little out of place. But seeing a useless bastard like Kayden at this party has actually made me feel a lot better. It kind of reminded me that bastards also dress in suits and pretty

dresses.”

Richard chuckled at her blunt assessment, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. He extended his

hand towards her, a playful glint in his gaze. “Well, let’s not let a useless bastard ruin our

night,” he said. “How about we forget him and have a little fun on the dance floor? Would you like to

dance with me?”

Amber’s eyes lit up with excitement as she accepted Richard’s hand. “Absolutely,” she replied, her

smile widening. “I’d love to dance with you.”

They made their way to the dance floor, their bodies moving in sync with the music. Richard’s hand

rested gently on Amber’s waist, while Amber’s arm was draped around his neck. As they danced, their

gazes remained locked on each other, the world around them blurring into the background.
