Amber PovThe sermon I expected Phil to give me didn't happen. Or maybe it won't happen yet. He was only quiet while driving home. I can't help but feels awkward. When I couldn't take it anymore, I broke the deafening silence between the two of us. "Now, you can say what you want to say to me, Phil. I know you have a lot to say to me because of what happened," I began the conversation. Instead of following what I said he just looked at me for a few seconds then turned his concentration back to driving again. I didn't know what he was thinking because I couldn't read any expression or emotion on his face. His expression is just blank which I usually see in him. Because he didn't answer me, so I didn't speak again and just kept quiet in my seat. But when we arrived at the gate of his house, he did not let me out by locking the door. I gave him a bad look. He didn't want to talk to me but he didn't want to let me out of his car. What does he really want to happen? "Have you and Alex
Amber PovAs Phil said he did accompany me to buy a car the next day. I have no choice but to tell him the truth that I know how to drive a car. I chose a black Honda Civic because it was the cheapest of all the car brands he wanted to buy for me. But what he wanted to buy for me was a white BMW but I refused because the price was too expensive. My jaws drop when I know the price of the Honda Civic but I almost couldn't breathe when I found out the price of the BMW. It was much higher than the first one. Fortunately, he agreed to buy only Honda Civic. This car is also beautiful and very expensive. But when our marriage contract is over, I will just return the car to him.After we bought a car, he accompanied me to get a driver's license. He said yesterday that he was going to let Estong accompany me to get a driver's license but I don't know what he ate that day and he was the one who went with me to get a license. After I got my license we went back home. Right when we arrived, the
Amber Pov I was busy removing dry leaves from the plants in the garden when I heard a car pull up in front of Phil's house. I walked near the gate and peeked slightly to see if Phil had arrived. But as far as I know, he is in Hongkong right now for his four-day business trip and now is only his third day abroad. I think maybe the person who arrived was a visitor of Karen or Aunt Aloha. I just shrugged my shoulders then I went back to the garden to continue what I was doing. I again busied myself with removing the dry leaves from the plants. I didn't know the guest who came and I was sure that Aunt Aloha would not want me to face their guest especially to introduce me as Phil's wife. So I better just stay here until their guests leave. I was currently sweeping the dry leaves on the ground when suddenly a pair of feet stood in front of me and stepped on the tip of the broom I was using. I quickly looked up to see who the rude person was in front of me. A tall and slender woman wearin
Amber Pov Even though I'm strong, I'm still a loser compared to the strength of the two women who help each other in slapping and pulling out my hair. My cheeks and scalp are hurting but they still don't want to stop. My lips are already chapped from the few times they slapped my face and I can already taste the salty taste of my blood. But even if they beat me, I didn't let it happen that I couldn't even get revenge on both of them. Somehow they also received slaps, tweaks, and scratches from me. We wouldn't have stopped fighting if Aunt Aloha hadn't come and pulled us away from each other. She was with Phil who looked like he just arrived. I don't know why he came home right away when his four-day business trip was not over yet. "She is the one to blame for why we got into fighting. I only came here to the garden to meet her because she is your husband. But what did she do to me? She suddenly insulted me and laughed at me so I couldn't stop myself from attacking her," Bovic cried
Phil Pov I was drinking wine alone on the terrace and thinking about Amber. I don't know where she is at this time. Where will she sleep tonight? I know she won't go to her mother's house because her mother's second family didn't treat her well especially when she accidentally sabotaged their plan to let her step-sister pretend to be her. I was sure that she would not be welcome in that house if she went there. But if not at her mother's house then where would she go? I don't know any friends of hers that she can stay with for the time being. I just realized that I still don't know much about my wife. I didn't have a chance to know her well or I just didn't really pay attention to her. If I will be asked some personal things about her, I can only answer a little. I took a deep breath and then took a sip of wine from the glass I was holding. I know that I hurt her earlier especially since she thinks that I sided with Bovic and Karen against her but the truth is I just want to hea
Amber Pov After I left Phil's house I went to Mildy's apartment. She doesn't have a duty right now because we have the same schedule at the bar where we are both working. Mildy wondered why I came to her apartment with my eyes puffy. I have no choice but to tell her about Phil and the two of us got married for the sake of his grandfather's happiness and his ownership of the Salvatore Conglomerate. Mildy scolded me after I told her everything and also the reason why I was in this state. After I let out the anger I felt, I went to sleep thinking that it would pass when I woke up. But when I woke up after my long sleep, my chest was still heavy. So I invited my friend to go to the bar. But not to go to work but as a customer. We drank until we got wasted. I don't know how many bottles of beer I've had but my vision is spinning. And no matter how much Riley, who is Mildy's cousin and has become my friend too, tried to stop me, I didn't listen to him. And I'm glad because Mildy joined m
Amber Pov I groaned slightly but didn't bother to open my eyes. My head hurts like it's splitting. Now I know how it feels to have a hangover. I promise I will never get drunk again. Beside of my head hurting, my stomach is like a wave, turning upside down as if there's something living creature inside and it wants to come out through my mouth. I didn't want to get up but I couldn't stop the contents of my stomach from coming out. I opened my eyes and ran to the bathroom. I immediately vomited all the food I ate last night into the toilet. But I felt weak after I threw up. I feel like I'm going to die. "You're finally awake, Amber. I brought you some hot soup and medicine. Take a sip and drink the medicine to get rid of your hangover," Mildy spoke to me, I didn't notice that she was right behind me. "I think I'm going to die, Mildy. I don't have the strength anymore. Also, why is your apartment spinning? Are we having an earthquake?" I asked her in a weak voice. Mildy couldn't st
Amber Pov I decided to visit Grandpa Fidel in the hospital even though I wasn't with Phil. As Phil's wife and following the contract we signed, I have to show up to his grandfather so that he will doubt the real relationship between me and his grandson. I was sure that someone had already told him about my leaving Phil's house because of the incident that happened in his house. I know that will make him sad so I have to do my part. I will clarify everything to him and I hope that he will believe in me. "Where are you going and are you dressed up?" Mildy asked me when I saw her after I came out of her room. She was in the living room watching television while eating popcorn. "Go to work," I simply answered her. My friend raised her eyebrow. We don't have work today because there are new waitresses and they will use our time for their training. "I'm going to visit Phil's Grandpa. I'm sure what happened in their house has reached him and I'm also sure that will make him sad. I don't wa
