Amber turned to the familiar voice. Ma'am Alice stood at the doorway, then walked towards her. She stood by her side and they both stared at their reflection in the mirror.

Her blond hair was styled in soft waves, falling elegantly over her shoulders. Her make-up was simple yet striking, her gown fitting perfectly into her frame like it was specially made for her together with the jewellery Leon had gotten for her. She looked nothing like her former self — the one who worked double shifts in a restaurant.

By the time they were done, it was already 10:00am — one hour to go.

“I hope you love your look, ma'am,” one of the stylists asked softly, looking at Amber.

Amber's lips parted, “Y-yes, it's… different,” she said, “in a good way, tho.”

Alice's eyes flickered. “You're ready. He's waiting downstairs.”

Amber smoothed her palms down the silk folds of the gown. Her heart raced faster than she could imagine. Nervous? Yes. But she needs to keep her cool. To calm herself, she closed her eye

    Amber's brows drew together. She could sense the seriousness in Leon's tone. “What could be the issue,” she thought to herself. “Okayyy…. What is it?” Leon hesitated, his hands gripping the stair railing. He got down the stairs, walked towards her and took a seat beside her. “Uhm,” he cleared his throat. “About our arrangement… there have been some changes.”She placed the book aside, paying more attention to Leon. “Change? What do you mean by that?”“I know the initial agreement was to be engaged for three months. But, my father… he… I think he suspects us.”“The deal with Senator Vale will only go through after our marriage. A real one.”Amber furrowed her brows, trying to process what Leon had just said. “What do you mean by a real one?”“Not just an engagement. A proper marriage,“ he said. “And it has to last for at least a year for me to inherit the company.”Amber let out a sarcastic laugh. “Oh my God, you're so funny,” she continued laughing, “this is a joke, right?”Leon's e

    “Are you okay, now?” Leon asked Amber who was enjoying the view and calmness of the lakeside.“Uhm, yeah. Thank you for bringing me here.”“You're welcome,” Leon replied, throwing a soft smile. “I'm glad I could help.”“We should head home now,” he said.“Sure, we should,” Amber agreed as they both made their way to where the car was parked. Leon opened the passenger door fot her before circling around to the driver's seat. Before they drove off, Leon's phone buzzed. He realized he had left it in the car all through the period they were outside. He grabbed it and glanced at the screen — six missed calls from his mother.He exhaled sharply, murmuring words to himself.Amber noticed the shift in his expression. “Is everything okay?” she asked curiously, furrowing her brows.“Yes, just my mother,” Leon said, dropping his phone. “I'll call her when we get home.”He started the engine and pulled the seat belt over himself, Amber doing the same, before finally driving off. When they finall

    Isabel's wrist trembled in Amber's grip. Her eyes widened in disbelief. No one had ever dared to touch her that way before. She was the heiress to Miller's group, a princess. Everyone feared her, but not Amber.“Let… go of me, you.. filthy whore,” she struggled to get Amber's hands off her.Amber casually drops her grip. “You should be careful, Isabel,” her voice, sharp and clear. “I'm not one of those you should underestimate. You had your way the other time because Leon was there and I was trying to keep calm. This time, I won't allow you to talk to me like I'm your child.”“You think you have the power because Leon chose you?” Isabel blurted out of anger. “You're NOTHING but a charity case he took pity on,” she said, gritting her teeth.Amber tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into a faint smirk. “I don't care whatever you say, Isabel. Your words mean absolutely nothing to me.”Isabel took a step closer, her brown eyes piercing deep into Amber's. “You have no idea who you'r

    Upon the announcement of the MC, applause followed — polite, curious, uncertain. Leon released Amber's hand gently and made his way to the podium. He stood there, confident and steady. His gaze pierced into the crowd, commanding silence. All eyes were focused on him as he opened his mouth to speak.“Good afternoon, everyone,” he began, his deep voice filling the silent room. “It's a pleasure to have everyone here, partners, investors, board members, employees and friends, gathered here today to celebrate Viremont Holdings’ fortieth anniversary.”“On behalf of my father and every shareholder, I want to thank you all. We wouldn't have gone this far without you being part of the journey.”A round of applause echoed through the audience.Leon nodded slightly, letting the applause fade before he continued speaking. “That being said, I'd like to officially introduce someone special.”His gaze shifted to where Amber stood.“Amber,” he said softly, extending a hand towards her.

He had been caught up with activities in the company — CEO duties.When he stepped in, the house was already quite. Hearing the spund of the door creak open, Ma'am Alice stepped out of her room to welcome him.“You're welcome home, sir,” she greeted him with a warm smile, taking his coat.“Thank you, Alice,” he responded calmly. His eyes flickered past her, scanning the hallway. “What about Amber?“She went to bed already, sir,” Alice replied with a kind tilt of her head. “She seemed… tired.”Leon nodded briefly.“Would you like me to get you anything?” Alice asked.“Uhm… no. Just a glass of water, please,” he replied, sinking into the couch Instead of going to his room.Ma'am Alice left fot the kitchen and returned with a glass of water in her hand. She stretched it to Leon and he took it from her, after which she disappeared with his coat.The thought of the marriage r
