Chapter 143

Third-person POV

Amber sat on the edge of the bed, her nerves frayed from waiting for Richard to

return home. She tapped her feet impatiently against the floor, the sound echoing through the empty room. Since Mary had dropped the bombshell about Richard supposedly knowing the c ock and bull story of Angela being her half-sister, Amber had been consumed by a whirlwind of emotions and questions.

‘Why didn’t he tell her? What was he hiding from her? What was going on with him?

These and many more were the questions she had in mind, and it has bothered her all day.

Rather than confront Richard right away, she had made the decision to seek the

truth from her father first, and after hearing how different Martin’s story

was, she was not unsure as to whether or not Mary hadn’t lied to her and

mentioned Richard just to trigger her. Mary must know Richard was the only person in the world she could trust, so Amber wouldn’t be surprised if her dumb blonde stepmother thought mentioning Richard’s name would be enough to send her

back into an emotionally unstable state.

Now, back in their bedroom, Amber felt a mixture of anxiety and anticipation building in her as she waited for Richard to be back. She had a feeling Richard was keeping something from her, especially after his call with Elena, and she

was anxious to find out what it was he was keeping from her.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she heard footsteps making their way

towards their bedroom. She had left the door slightly ajar so that she’d know when he arrived. Her heart raced as she tried to steady herself for what was to

come.

Since their marriage became more like a marriage, Amber never had any reason to question Richard’s actions, as he had never given her a reason not to trust

him, so the possibility that he really kept something from her made her

nervous.

The door creaked open, revealing a surprised and slightly disheveled Richard.

His eyes widened in surprise as soon as he saw her, but he managed to quickly compose himself.

When Richard walked into the room, the last thing he expected was the sight of

Amber seated on the bed in the barely lit room, and his heart ski pped a beat at

the sight. The deep frown etched across her face was unmistakable, filling him with a sense of unease. He immediately felt a twinge of guilt, wondering if he

was about to face a scolding from her for some unknown reason.

couldn’t help but wonder if Amber had somehow found out about his involvement with Elena in letting Marlene out of jail. The thought sent a shiver down his spine and a wave of anxiety through his veins. He reassured himself that she couldn’t know, as he had taken great caution to keep her in the dark. He had made sure to inform the

her in a comforting hug to ease the tension, but before he could even reach her, she quickly raised her hand, signaling for
