CHAPTER 1

Amber's Pov

“Your husband is cheating on you,” he voiced out, his expression was completely unreadable.

“What! How dare you say that to my face?” l spatted, with disbelief.

I know Drey has been obsessed with my sister for a long time, despite how Sierra had broken up with him, but yet he refused to let go of her. Even though he has tried many tricks to get her attention, and here he's with his silly games.

I chuckled as l cleared out my throat.

“Drey, l understand you so much love my sister,” l pressed on.

“But what l couldn't take is you bringing my marriage into you guys relationship,” l spoke out.

“You can't come here to tell such a thing, for the sake of getting my sister's attention,”

“If you haven't been a nice person to me, l would have filed a lawsuit against you for making such accusations about my husband.” l folded my arms, glaring at him.

He scoffed. “Amber, trust me, l meant what l said. Your husband and your sister are having an affair,” those words came out boldly from his lips.

What? Having an affair?

I laughed faintly “What do you mean having an affair? Are you aware that both of them are business partners? And just in case you forgot, l met my husband through my sister, Sierra,” l stepped closer, my gaze firmly fixed on him.

“So tell me, how could they possibly be having an affair?”

Honestly, l shouldn't even let Drey into my house in the first place. He had called me earlier on over the phone, sounded like someone with a life threatening situation, claiming that he had something important he wanted me to know.

So, this was all he got to tell me? How silly of him. Does he think that he could use that on me, to persuade my sister?

And yeah, when l said l met my husband through my sister was the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Sierra?

She is such a lovely sister everyone would ever want. You know this saying of having a step sister? Mine was completely different. I have the best.

I mean, she made me who l am today. She taught me to be this confident and better model. And also gave me the best man on earth as a husband.

Isn't that such a sister to boast of?!

Sierra and my husband have been business partners for a long time, even before l met him. She was the top and professional model in Peterson's empire.

Unlike myself, Sierra isn't the kind that loves to settle down as a wife or give up a career for a man. Oftentimes, she would pass down her suitors to me.

But Kol?

My husband was different. He wasn't passed down to me like the rest of the men, he had loved me even before he set his eyes on me. And from the very first day we met still now, he has never for once stopped being the caring husband.

Still loving me. Still sending me love notes. Still leaving fragrant flowers for me every morning, reminding me just how much he loved me, and showering my forehead with endless kisses. And never a week went by without us going on a couple’s outing.

Which was just yesterday before he left for his business trip.

So, Drey’s obsession over Sierra had completely made him go insane.

I scoffed. “Listen up Drey, I'm going to let this go, because l have got some better things to do,” l breathed out.

“But if this… eventually repeats itself, l couldn't hesitate to get the court involved,” I burst out, as l made my way to leave.

But just as l was about to turn away, his words came out loudly, hitting the very part of my heart.

“You knew about it, and you are scared to admit it.” He clenched his jaw hard and brought out his phone.

Those particular words came out louder than they should.

“Here… take a look at this,” he insisted.

He glared at me, deadpan “If you think I'm making up stories just to get Sierra, then I'm afraid you are wrong. That's exactly what is going on between your husband and Sierra,” he blurted out, gesturing towards the phone.

He didn't flinch, he didn't look like a joke either. His face was cold and expressionless.

I swear l'd almost believe him if the accuser was someone else.

With such certainty, l grabbed the phone from him and clicked on the play arrow.

Then boom!

What l saw next left me completely shattered.

My mind refuses to catch up with my eyes.

“Kol!”

“No, no. This can't be true,” l voiced out, which came out louder than l expected.

“There is definitely a mix up somewhere. No, my husband went… for a business trip,” l stuttered, as l watched it play.

A video of Kol and my stepsister both on a cruise vacation, sat outside the yacht just in the middle of an ocean, leaning on each other, as though they had no shame about committing adultery.

A bitter laugh escaped my lips as l shook my head, refusing to believe what my eyes were showing me.

No, l can't give in to what Drey want.

This could be some business meeting or maybe they are just relaxing and nothing much, besides they have been friends for years now.

“No, Drey… this Isn't true, you have got it all wrong,” l swallowed hard, blinking rapidly as tears gathered along my lower lashes.

“Kol will never do such a thing, not to talk of Sierra, my own sister.”

I couldn't trust a stranger over my family. This video was fabricated, and Drey would do anything to get Sierra.

He leaned forward, and slightly placed a hand on my shoulder. “Look beyond your emotions, and see the reality of truth for yourself,” he pressed on.

Those words came out sharper than he must have intended, tearing through every lie l had told myself to make the betrayal seem impossible.

“Here, listen to the voice recording,” he stated, as he clicked it on.
