21. Getting Hot
"No!" Amber dodged from the mouth of the bottle. "Don't poison me!" "Don’t be afraid, Darling. It won't take you to hell. You'll instead taste heaven on earth," the man whispered before gripping his victim's chin tighter. When the water entered her mouth, Amber quickly spouted it. Seeing that the woman was still able to resist, the man growled. "Drink it!" However, every time he lifted the bottom of the bottle, Amber always managed to spill the poured water. Feeling annoyed, the man threw a hard slap. Instantly, the woman lowered her head with furrowed brows and closed eyes. An intense dizziness had shaken her brain. "You should have obeyed earlier, Sweetie. Now, drink!" In the semi-conscious state, Amber complied. Although she was choking and coughing, she kept to be force-fed until there was no water left. The bullies were getting excited to see it. They laughed contentedly while imagining the smoldering night. "Nice," the gang leader sighed before stealing a peck from the sli

22. The Burning Night
"I’ll go to the kitchen. You can rest here," Adam said while nodding sincerely. However, instead of moving, the woman didn't budge. She had been hypnotized by the green eyes that were only inches from her nose. "Amber?" The man got confused watching the silence. Unexpectedly, Amber cupped Adam’s cheeks with both hands. While closing her eyes, she took her lips to his. The man's body automatically stiffened. His eyebrows were raised to the max and his blinks were restrained. For a moment, he didn’t dare to move. His heart and logic were in a great battle. "Should I enjoy it? I haven't had this pleasure in over two years. But I'm not a jerk who takes advantage of circumstances." When Amber paused to take a breath, Adam quickly separated their shoulders. With stiff face, he tried to rouse the woman's senses. "Stop it! Don't you want to do it with me? I can't help it if you keep flirting." Receiving such a warning, Amber sighed hea

23. Adam's Confession
"You are infertile?" Amber sighed in disbelief. Her gaze could not be separated from the gleam of eyes that radiated sadness. “Please don't spread the news, but yeah … I am. Because of that, I got angry when you accused me of being impotent.” Adam shrugged while forcing a smile. The woman blinked in confusion. The information seemed odd to her. After a brief contemplation, she broke the silence through a faint snort. "Stop lying to me! I'm not stupid. You think I forgot the baby in the photo? You already have a child." "That was what in my mind too. I thought the cute baby was my son. But it turns out ... no," Adam said in a lower voice. The wrinkles on Amber's face suddenly faded. She knew the man beside her wasn't joking. "What happened?" she asked sharply. Her concern might not be heard. “I used to love my wife very much. Even though we have been married for years without having children, we survive and struggle together. Can you imagine how happy I was when I found out she wa

24. You Know My Size
"You already touched me since the beginning?" Amber accused in a displeased tone. "No, it's not like that. You know that I've been married before. Of course I know a woman's size at one glance," Adam explained flatly. "When we were in that small town, you said you didn't know my size. Were you lying?" Amber's tone was getting higher. Once again, the widower scratched his ear. "I had to tell the lie to avoid a fuss," he said almost inaudibly. Before the woman vented her anger, he quickly handed over the next bag. "I bought this for you too. You'll need it." With a wrinkled face, Amber looked into the bag. As soon as she found a variety of beauty products, her annoyance was replaced by surprise. "How did you know I was wearing this brand?" the woman inquired while picking up the concealer she had been looking for. "Didn't you recommend it on your social media?" In an instant, Amber gaped. "Did you spy on me?" "I’m not a spy. I just don't want you to waste my gift on the wrong b

25. You Touch Me, I Touch You
"Sorry I call you now. I was still with Julian and Mia earlier. So, how are you doing? What do you mean everything's under control? Have you left the cottage? Or maybe, you’ve killed that jerk?" Hearing how Sebastian called him, Adam gave a faint snort. As he continued to walk towards the chair by the window, he said, "Sorry. Amber is sleeping. When she wakes up, I'll make sure she calls you right away." The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Adam's voice managed to surprise the caller. "Who is this? Where's Amber?" Sebastian asked in a confused tone. "Amber is sleeping." Adam repeated the statement with more emphasis. "You don't have to worry. She's fine." In an instant, Sebastian's snort rattled the speakerphone. "Are you Mr. Smith?" Hearing the cynical tone, Adam smiled lopsidedly. "Yes." "Is Amber really sleeping? You didn't keep her in a room, did you?" "You have high imaginations, Sir. But no, I'm not a psychopath," Adam said in a low voice. His expression was hard to rea

26. Traces of Your Touch
"You want to cheat, huh?" Adam sighed with high arched brows. “If you don't want to be touched, you should be more careful about moving your hands.” Amber bit her lip. Her fists clenched tightly, admitting the guilt. "It’s not about cheating. You know that ... here is a woman's private part, right? How could I let you touch it?” “Not only women, but men too!” the Crazy Bear rebutted while putting on a look of contempt. "Your people are not allowed to touch our people arbitrarily. It's also harassment." "But I didn't mean to. If you repay the deed, it's on purpose. That is harassment." Amber was starting to look desperate. Her feet slowly moved back, taking distant from the man. Little by little, Adam moved forward. His jaw hardened demanding justice. "I can't let you free anymore. I've given you too much leeway." "What do you mean? I never touched you," the woman argued with full conviction. But, a second later, she was wide-eyed. Her movement was just stopped by the table. "Do

27. Off Guard
"Aren't you going to teach me? But, why are you bringing that shovel?" Amber asked when she found Adam walking towards the door. The man was in outdoor costume. "I have to get some wood from the barn. Our stock is running low." After a blink, the woman reached for her coat. "Then I'm coming. So next time, I can do this job for you." Hearing Miss Lim's initiative, Adam furrowed his brows. "You're not a spoiled girl anymore, apparently." "Since in the first place, I wasn't. You're the only one who judged me that way," Amber replied as she grabbed the flashlight and patted Mr. Cold's arm. "Let's hurry!" Excitedly, the woman led the way. She didn't know that Adam was staring at the traces of her touch. “That girl … does she still not know? You always make a big mess in my heart, Amber." He followed as the sigh of despair escaped his mouth. While Adam was busy shoveling the snow that blocked the barn door, Amber looked up at the star-filled sky. Her face was sad and full of longing.

28. I'll Drag You to My Bed
Behind the eyes that almost jumped out, her brain began to work hard to bend the truth. “Oh, that … I mean … he's both my fiancé and best friend. But we treat each other like friends. Isn't that more familiar?” Snorting a laugh, Adam continued his work. "Well, well. Best friend disguises as fiancé. You guys are so good at lying to me." "We're not lying. We're already engaged," Amber said in a pushy way. "Then, where is your engagement ring?" With a tense expression, the woman pointed towards the road. "The robbers took it." Shaking his head, Adam cleaned his gloves from dust. “Enough, Miss Lim. You may be able to lie to other people, but not me. Your lips are slightly pursed every time you tell a lie." Amber spontaneously pulled her lips back. "No. I'm not lying," she said in a low voice and a strange expression. "In your opinion, what punishment is appropriate for an apprentice who lies to her teacher?" Mr. Cold folded his arms across his chest and began to pinch his chin. “Sh

29. Dare to Disobey
Hearing the defense, the designer was stunned. "You came all the way here with an empty brain?" "No. I know a lot about jewelry. It's just that, I haven't thought about the brand yet. I'd like to just learn the basics for now. After that, I’ll think of going a step further." "What kind of jewelry do you want to make?" Adam interrupted loudly. Amber shrugged hesitantly. "I don't know. Maybe bracelets, necklaces, earrings—all the luxurious jewelry." Adam snorted and looked away. "You insist on learning from the best designer. But it turns out, your intentions aren't clear." "My intentions are clear. I love jewelry. I want to make the best of it and give my first piece to little Evans to keep my promise," Amber said without feeling guilty. "But that's not enough, Miss Lim. Jewelry isn't just a symbol of luxury. It's also about the message you want to convey through it." Seeing the firmness in Adam's eyes, Amber was silent. Her hand secretly gripped the book tighter. "Today, think

30. You Must Be Punished
"You're the one who likes to touch me. Just look at your hands," Amber protested, not wanting to show any awkwardness. Instead of letting go, Adam shook the palm in his grip. "I'm doing this as a precaution. You started the case. If you don't bother with my things, I won't hold you." "All right, I won't touch anything else. Now, please show me your new project, Mister Smith." Amber was too lazy to argue. "Okay." The designer's expression instantly turned serious. His eyebrows were no longer arched high and the corners of his lips were stiff. "But before that, you have to promise me." "Promise what?" Amber asked in a displeased tone. She thought that man still kidding. "You will hold my big secret. So, promise not to betray me," Adam pleaded earnestly. Knowing Mr. Smith's seriousness, the apprentice didn't grimace anymore. "Don't worry. I won't share this information to anyone." "Nice." A second later, Adam freed Amber’s hands. With a leisurely motion, he pulled out the paper c
