Chapter 106

Third Person POV.

Richard, who had been busying himself in the kitchen, preparing dinner for himself and Amber, moved around with ease as he prepared everything according to how Amber had said she liked it.

Tonight was meant to be a peaceful evening, a quiet moment shared with Amber after what had been rather tiring day.

As he stirred a bubbling pot on the stove, Richard’s thoughts drifted to Amber, assuming she was at the hospital visiting Antoinette as planned. However, a sudden vibration in his pocket shattered his reverie, the familiar chime of his phone’s ringtone piercing the quietness of the kitchen.

Frowning in confusion at the unexpected interruption, Richard retrieved his phone, noting the caller ID that read ‘Chief Security–Main Gate‘

Puzzlement furrowed his brow as he accepted the call, bringing the device to his ear. “What’s the matter, Mike? Why are you calling me at this hour?” Richard’s tone held a note of irritation, as the last thing he wanted was to deal with any issues that’d interrupt his dinner plans with Amber.

The voice on the other end crackled with tension as the chief of security relayed the distressing news. “Sir, there’s a serious situation happening at the gate. Mrs. Romero and some strange woman are having a heated argument, and it’s escalating rapidly. You need to come down here immediately.”

The urgency in Mike’s voice confused Richard, and he struggled to comprehend how and why Amber would be in a heated argument with anyone.

Confusion mingled with a growing sense of alarm as Richard demanded further details, a furrow of concern deepening on his brow. “Who is the other woman? What is going on?”

The chief of security’s response sent a wave of disbelief crashing over Richard as he processed the shocking revelation. “I don’t know who she is, sir. She seems to be someone your wife knows quite well, and she’s… causing a scene, sir.”

With a frustrated sigh, Richard placed the call on hold, his mind racing with a flurry of thoughts. Fingers quickly navigating through his phone, he accessed the security camera feed of the gate. his eyes widening in disbelief at the scene that was unfolding on his screen. There stood Amber, her face

illuminated by the glow of the streetlights, facing off against none other than Marlene, whose deranged presence sent a shiver down Richard’s spine.

Reconnecting the call with Mike, Richard’s voice was steely with resolve as he issued swift instructions. “Call the police immediately and get that woman away from my wife. Make sure she’s restrained until I arrive. I’m on my way.”

The urgency in his tone brooked no argument, and he felt a surge of anger at Marlene’s audacity to come to his house and try to cause a scene with his wife.

With a swift movement, Richard discarded the apron he wore, the clatter of metal against marble echoing through the kitchen. Not wasting any time, he’d walk out of the kitchen, grab the nearest car keys, and immediately leave the house to drive down to the gate.

The sting of Marlene’s slap still lingered on Amber’s cheek as she stood face–to–face with her deranged sister. She was both furious and irritated, furious at Marlene’s audacity and irritated at the dirty word Marlene had just thrown at her.

The security guards had tried coming out to interfere, but she was quick to stop them, warning them not to get involved or they’d be fired. She’d then turn her attention back to Marlene, her rage evident.

“How dare you come here and accuse me of such a despicable crime, Marlene? How could you shamelessly throw such accusations at me? Do you think I’m anything like you?” Amber’s voice quivered with anger.

Marlene’s response was a cold scoff; her lips curled in a derisive sneer as she leveled a chilling gaze at Amber. “Oh, spare me your false innocence, Amber. You know exactly who you are. A murdere just like me.”
