“What is it you want from me, Elena?” Richard asked as he settled back into his seat.

Against his better judgment, he had decided to stay back and listen to what Elena had to say to him, not just because he knew she was crazy enough to throw a plate directly on his head but because he

genuinely wanted to understand why she was so obsessed with him and his life.

It had always been that way since they were children. She would throw insults at him, call him weak,

stupid, slow, and say all sorts of mean things to him, but when he fell ill, she was always there for

him. He couldn’t deny that she had her good side–a side that cared for him and was always there for him. But despite her good side, he still couldn’t be around her. He hated having her anywhere around

She was too honest, too brutal, and too intense for him to deal with. He just hated to be around her

“Is it safe to leave you two to talk like two civilized adults?” she asked.

“I don’t want to leave, Bianca. I want to understand what is going on here and why this… cra…this

woman here had to throw a plate at my husband. Until I understand, I can’t leave.” Amber said, trying

her best to keep her anger at bay.

She was fuming on the inside, wondering who Elena thought she was to try to hurt Richard, but the
