AMBER"Clarisse Valle? I didn't know that was Tiffany's girlfriend's full name," I exclaimed, staring at the thick documents on my desk in amazement.Sebastian had a proud expression on his face. "Getting all the information and things you want is easy, Amber. But everything comes at a price. As long as you have the money, nothing is impossible," Sebastian winked at me."Thank you, Sebastian. You've really been a tremendous help to me. I'll read through all these papers when I get home," I said."There's a lot of information there that you can use against Clarisse Valle. According to the information I gathered, the Valle family accepts Clarisse's lesbian identity. They love their daughter and accept everything about her. But..." Sebastian began, building suspense."But?""But they don't approve of Clarisse's relationship with Tiffany,"I gasped. I was surprised. "Why? I mean, everyone knows that Tiffany Davis isn't just any woman. To everyone, the daughters of the Davis family are dre
AMBERIt seems Sebastian noticed my reaction, and I appeared to be frozen in place. He moved closer, almost like a child. "Don't you want to accept my dinner invitation, Amber? Don't you want to have dinner with me? It's my treat. You don't have to worry."I rolled my eyes. "You're such a drama queen, Doctor Wolfe. I didn't say I didn't want to.""You're not answering," he said."Just because I'm not answering doesn't mean I don't want to have dinner with you right away. I'm also thinking that maybe you're tired. We have so many clients right now. I'm tired too; I feel like relaxing and having some pamper time," I replied, massaging my neck. We've been really busy at the clinic lately, thanks to Sebastian's loyal clients. I couldn't blame the patients, though.I am living proof that Sebastian has a unique talent in the cosmetic field. It's like he has a superpower. He can change my appearance without a trace of my past self. And no one would guess that I'm Willow Davis, except for my
AMBERI kept quiet. I pretended to have a cough. I wanted to clear the lump in my throat. Sebastian was right. I've never been treated right by my worthless husband."Besides my family, you're right. I've never been treated right," I replied briefly.I saw sadness pass through his face. "Don't worry. From now on, it won't just be your family who cares about you, Amber. It'll be me too."I didn't know how to respond to him. I felt like I had become mute. "Speaking of your family, it's been years since you disappeared. Do you really have no plans to visit your family? To introduce yourself as Willow?" he asked as we walked towards the restaurant.The place was beautiful. It was located at a high point and was cooler compared to the city's temperature. The view was 360 degrees, and there was thick fog. The restaurant had a spacious ground, and from what I could see, expensive cars were parked. And this could only mean one thing – the customers were wealthy.I immediately smelled flowers
AMBER AMBERThe waiter served us delectable dishes. Sebastian ordered our dinner because I wasn't familiar with what to order, given that I rarely dine in such expensive restaurants.I indulged in the fare prepared by the staff. We had garlic shrimp salad, squash soup, plain rice, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, broccoli with mushrooms, and blueberry cheesecake for dessert. They also served a delicious pure pineapple juice that wasn't overly sour, with a delightful blend of tartness and sweetness."Did you enjoy the food?" the young man asked me as he wiped his lips with a napkin, removing excess oil.I patted my satisfied stomach. "Yes, the food here is exceptional. The flavors are authentic, and they don't skimp on ingredients. It's not surprising, considering how exorbitant everything is. But... no matter how delicious the food is here, let's not come back, alright?" I looked into his eyes.Confusion flickered in his gaze. "Huh? Why? I thought you liked the food?"I nodded. "I did li
AMBERI didn't know how to respond to Sebastian. His deep words seemed to carry meaning and depth.We were on our way back to my apartment, and silence hung between us. "What are your plans for the money we won in the poker game?" Sebastian suddenly changed the topic.I glanced at the road. "Just as you advised, I need to be smart about it. I should put it in savings and investments to make it grow. And the Davises won't even realize that I've surpassed them."He seemed surprised by my answer. "Wow. I didn't expect you to really do it. It seemed like you had doubts when we discussed this."I shrugged. "I thought about it, Sebastian. I don't need to feel guilty. These are not good people. In every game, there are winners and losers. They didn't feel guilty when they treated me badly. So, in our next encounter, I need to be ahead of them, and they shouldn't be able to mistreat me anymore.""That's right. I hope you'll always be like this, Amber. Always courageous," he said.I chuckled.
AMBERHow can I do this? How do you enter the world of Clarisse Valle? The daughter of a famous billionaire. The heiress of a large airline company. I don't know. I'm not rich. I don't have any property except for my inherent beauty crafted by the magic hands of Doctor Sebastian Wolfe.But an idea is running through my mind. I don't know if it's a good one, and I want to know his opinion."Didn't you tell me that you transferred all the properties and items you acquired when you won that poker game against Harper into my name?" I start. Sebastian nods but doesn't answer. "That's a lot of money. A tremendous amount. I want to build a good connection with the Valle family. I want to become a stockholder in their company. Is that possible?" I don't know much about business, so I'm not sure if it's feasible.The handsome doctor nods. "It's very possible. But it depends on your proposal, your business background, your influence, and what you can contribute to their company's growth.""Oh,
AMBERTwo weeks later,"The total assets we gained from our winnings in the poker game amount to approximately $440,000. But because you can't yet open a savings account in your new identity, it's temporarily placed in my account. Of course, you can withdraw it anytime. You can't disclose to the bank that you're Willow Davis. So, you really need to get a new identity. The question is, what would be a good surname?" Sebastian asked me one morning at the clinic.I waved my hand in the air. "Let's think about that later, Sebastian. It can wait. I trust you that the money is safe in your savings account. Honestly, I feel bad about this. It should be yours."He turned to me, exasperated. "You're being stubborn. How many times do I have to tell you that it's yours? I don't need it, Amber. You need it more."I nodded and smiled. "Thank you. I know that. But it's a significant amount. I can't believe that Harper and his friends could bet hundreds of thousands of dollars on just one poker game
AMBERI lost count of how many times I sighed today. How many times I swallowed my saliva. I don't know what I'm feeling. Nervousness? Excitement? Ah, I don't know anymore. All I know now is that my heart is beating so fast with overwhelming anticipation.I felt the handsome doctor squeeze my hand. "You're too obviously nervous, Amber. Relax. From the way you look, you seem like you're about to be taken to the slaughterhouse," he teased, but I couldn't find it amusing."Do you think this day will be successful?" Instead of laughing, I asked him.Sebastian rubbed his neck and took a deep breath. "I hate saying promises. I don't like making commitments because I'm afraid I won't be able to keep them," was his reply.I felt saddened. I couldn't explain the anxiety that was enveloping me. "I-Is that so?"But I was surprised when Sebastian's left hand caught both of mine and held them in his warm palms. He smiled at me with a comforting smile. "But don't worry. Even though I don't like mak
