Third Person’s POV

Amber glared at Vincent, who was clenching and unclenching his fists, gritting his teeth in frustration. He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and reached out his hands to hold Amber’s shoulders but restrained himself at the last minute and took a step back.

“Listen, Amber, you don’t know how scared I was when you passed out.” He paused, placed his right palm on his forehead, and turned away from her briefly. “Look, I don’t want to lose our child. I need you to be close

    Amber's POVI tilted my head slightly, wondering why Vincent had decided to work from home. Is he staying to monitor us?While I was still wondering, I heard an excited squeal.“Pumpkin!!”I turned around and saw Annabelle racing toward me. I got up and also raced toward her, and we collided halfway, holding each other in a tight hug as if we hadn't seen each other in the longest time.She pulled away from the hug, held my hand, and twirled me around.“Girl, you're glowing! Is this the pregnancy glow?”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “Knock it off. I simply had a good sleep.”I intertwined our arms and led her back to the living room, where Ethan was already waiting for us.“Hi, Ethan,” I greeted him.“Hi,” he replied, his eyes avoiding my gaze, which made me frown, and I gave Annabelle a questioning look, but she shrugged her shoulders.I narrowed my eyes and looked suspiciously between them. Something must have happened last night during Ethan's drunken state, but what could it be? Did

    Amber's POVMy words were left unfinished, and I froze as soon as I stepped foot into the kitchen. Holy moly, I almost screamed at the sight before me. My mouth hung open in shock as I watched Vincent, whose shirtless back was facing me while he cooked. He was completely unaware of my presence.My eyes shamelessly trailed from his broad shoulders and muscular back to his narrow waist, which made him look like one of those gym instructors who can easily get any woman to cheat on her partner. Every movement he made caused his muscles to shift and flex, and when he lifted the frying pan and flipped a pancake, the muscles in his back tightened, the lines of his back became more pronounced, and for a split second, I was tempted to reach out and feel them.If only we were a loving couple, I'd have gone over and hugged him from behind and buried my face in his back, but unfortunately, we're far from being that.I coughed lightly to announce my presence before I fell into temptation, but that

He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and reached out his hands to hold Amber’s shoulders but restrained himself at the last minute and took a step back.“Listen, Amber, you don’t know how scared I was when you passed out.” He paused, placed his right palm on his forehead, and turned away from her briefly. “Look, I don’t want to lose our child. I need you to be close to me so that I can be reassured.”“Of course, you’re only worried about the child,” she scoffed. What was I expecting? I shouldn’t expect love or care from him, she thought to herself. “Well, sleeping on different beds in the same room is also keeping me close,” she argued stubbornly.“Amber...”She cut him off by raising her hand. “It’s either you let me sleep on the bed alone or allow me to take the couch peacefully.”Vincent stared at her for a moment, wanting to argue with her, but his eye

    Amber's POVSilence. It was dead silence in the car as Vincent folded his arms across his chest, leaned back in the seat, and closed his eyes, but it was obvious he wasn't sleeping—we were both in the backseat.I couldn't take it anymore. The silence was becoming unbearable, and I felt the need to start a conversation—even though I didn't know what to say. I coughed lightly and was ready to say anything when my phone beeped. I reached for it in my purse and realized I'd gotten a text from Ethan. Without wasting time, I unlocked my phone to view the message."You lied to me, Amber," the text read. I frowned slightly, wondering when I had ever lied to him. Just when I was about to text him back, he called.I quickly answered it. "Hello...""Amber," Ethan called my name loudly, and I moved the phone a bit away from my ear. "You... yo-you... why, why did you lie to me?" he slurred. Hearing him speak, I knew at once he was drunk. My brows furrowed as I wondered why and when he got drunk. H

  • MR. AND MRS. LIAM: A Perfect Lie.    Chapter 18

    Third Person’s POVVincent’s eyes had been on Amber’s table, keenly watching every move they made and confirming that no alcohol was given to her. He saw Annabelle dragging Amber to the dance floor and wanted to go stop her, but his friend, Steve, grabbed his hand.“Where are you going?”“To stop them. Amber is pregnant and shouldn’t be acting recklessly,” Vincent replied with a disapproving frown.Steve rolled his eyes as he pushed Vincent back into his chair. “Come on, man. They’re in a bar, leave her be.” He looked toward the dance floor where Amber and Annabelle were already dancing. “I’m sure she knows her limit.”Vincent wasn’t convinced but decided to stay put. He clenched his jaw, balled his fists on the table, and narrowed his eyes as he watched them.“Hey, man,” Steve nudged him. “Amber is hot. I didn’t know she had it in her...”Vincent banged on the table, growling lowly. “Get your eyes off, she is my wife!” he snarled.Steve raised his hands in surrender, and they continu

    Amber’s POVThe smile on my face vanished as soon as Vincent appeared. I rolled my eyes and slammed my phone on the table.“What are you doing here?” I finally asked the question I’d been meaning to ask. My brows furrowed as I pointed an accusing finger at him. “Are you following me? I thought we agreed to stay out of each other’s business.”He looked around with a smug expression. “This is a bar, Amber. Anybody can come here. It’s not meant for just you.”I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest as I turned away from him. He sat on a chair next to mine.“I’m not here to be a party pooper, but remember, no alcohol tonight.”“I’m not a kid!” I snapped at him.He raised his hands in surrender. I waited for him to leave, but he wasn’t making any move to leave. He simply folded his arms across his chest and leaned back in the chair.“Aren’t you gonna leave?”“I’ll wait here until he comes back,” he said, referring to Ethan.My brows knitted slightly. “I don’t need a babysitter.”“I know
