Chapter Thirty One

LATER THAT EVENING"Slow down, Damon. We need to talk.""I have nothing to say to you. I already spoke with your father." Damon replied coldly and jumped into the driver seat.Before he could start the car engine, the passenger door opened and Bella slid in beside him."How can you say that to me Damon? I'm your wife for God's sake. How do you expect me to just accept everything you told my father?" Bella said with tears in her eyes."Incase your father didn't tell you Bels, I already have a wife. And it's not you."Without waiting for her response, Damon started the car and drove out of the pack house."Is it because of her? Have you been seeing that bitch behind my back? Is that why you're choosing her over me?" Bella asked between sobs."Whether I'm seeing Amber or not is none of your concern. And you will be wise to address her with respect.""Respect?" Bella scoffed. "You'd expect to me to show respect to that bitch? The same woman who stole you from me once and is trying to do i

Chapter Thirty Two

TWENTY MINUTES AGO"Thank you for agreeing to come with me tonight, Bree." Marcus said with a warm smile as they settled into their seats. He had asked Amber out on a date this morning and she agreed to come with him."I should be the one thanking you Marc. I really needed this." Amber replied with a soft smile. "Besides, it's the only way I can make up for the other night."Marcus couldn’t help but keep staring at her. She wore a sleek black gown that hugged her slender figure perfectly, accentuating her curves in just the right way. One strap rested elegantly on her right shoulder, leaving the other bare and showing off her smooth skin. She looked really lovely tonight. Even men who came with their own dates couldn't help but steal glances."What are you staring so intensely at me for?" Amber blushed, taking a sip from the glass in front of her. Not that she was tasty, she just needed something to make her feel like herself again.Marcus smiled. "You just look lovely and perfect ton

Chapter Thirty Three

"What do you say, Bree... will you marry me?" Marcus said still on his knees.He saw Amber's lips move but no words came out. All around them, phone touches lit up as people took pictures."I'm still kneeling, Bree, please... say something," "Marc—I... I... ""Stay the hell away from my wife you bastard!" A deep voice cut through the room at that moment, ruining the moment.Marcus and Amber looked up to find Damon standing at the edge of the crowd, fury written across his face. Before Amber could move, Damon grabbed her wrist and began pulling her through the crowd when Marcus intervened, rising to his feet. At this point, the people standing around them instantly recognize Damon and were now recording videos."What the hell do you think you're doing?" Amber yelled as she struggled to free herself from his grip but Damon's grip only tightened."What does it look like I'm doing. I'm taking you away from this bastard!" Damon shot back."Jesus, stop meddling in my life Damon. Let go of

Chapter Thirty Four

Amber didn't know why, but the tears wouldn't stop coming. She sniffled and tried to catch her breathe but nothing seemed to work. Her mind was a total mess and she had no idea how to calm it.She didn't regret what she said to Damon or slapping him in the face. But she hated herself for everything Marcus had gone through tonight.He was a good man. A kind, lovely man that didn't deserve to be treated that way. He was everything a woman could ever want and Amber hated herself for not being able to reciprocate back his love.She knew deep down that she cared for him but that was it. Four years together, and she had never once being able to say the word love to him.Wiping the tears streaming down her face, Amber pressed the brake wanting to slow down. But to her horror, the car didn't respond.At that moment, she felt something was offShe pressed the pedal again, harder this time, but the same thing happen. The car didn't slow down. Rather it was moving faster now.Her heart skipped.

Chapter Thirty Five

HOURS LATERAmber slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by the beeping sound of the monitor. She felt pains all over her body, including a banging headache.It took a while before her vision focus and when it did, she realized she was in the hospital room, putting on the pale blue patient gown. Turning her head slightly, she saw her best friend standing by the window and rubbing her temples as she spoke into the phone.When Jessie noticed Amber's eyes on her, she quickly disconnected the call and rushed to her."Oh my god, Bree. You're awake!" She exclaimed throwing her arms around her in a tight hug."Uh... "Amber groaned weakly."Oh, crap! Sorry, sorry! I just got a little too excited." Jessie said pulling back "How do you feel? Are you okay? Do you feel feel dizzy or weird? Should I call the doctor?"She stood up and was about to run out of the room when Amber caught her hand."I'm fine, Jess... I just want some water.""Oh right, water." Jess quickly rushed to the nearby table, g

Chapter Thirty Six

Bella stormed into the room looking annoyed as ever. She was still putting on the clothes she wore at the restaurant but was no longer with her purse."You bitch! What did you do to my husband?" She snapped, pointing a trembling finger at Amber as she advanced. Jessie stepped in front of Amber, blocking her path."What the hell are you doing here? This is not your room, get out now!" She barked, pointing towards the door."I don't know who you are but I'd suggest you stay the fuck out of my business." Bella said and turned her gaze back on Amber. She was about to approached her yet again when Jessie blocked her."You've got guts, I will give you that. Too bad you pick the wrong day to show up. Leave. Now. Or you are going to regret it.""I’m not leaving. My husband's in that ward because of that bitch. I'm not walking away until she pays.""Call my best friend ‘bitch’ one more time and I'll rip that mouth off your face," Jessie warned coldly."No babes, don't try to stop me. I will d

Chapter Thirty Seven

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Marcus yelled as he stormed forward.Bella jerked her hand free from Jessie’s grip and marched toward him. “That shouldn’t be your concern right now. Are you not ashamed of yourself?”"Excuse me?" Marcus frowned."If you knew your woman didn’t love you, why the hell did you even propose to her? Why let her humiliate you in public just to ruin my life? Now my husband is lying in there because of her!""What the hell are you even talking about? And who gave you the right to meddle in my affairs?" Marcus snapped. "And what the hell are you doing here? This isn't your ward, you have no business here. Get out. Now!"He pointed towards the exit.Bella took a deep breathe, fuming. "Whatever. That bitch is lucky I didn't get my hands on her. But let her know I won't rest until she pays for what she's done."Without saying another word, she turned and stormed towards the exit, heading to the next hall where Damon ward was.Marcus exhaled heavily after she wa

Chapter Thirty Eight

"I messed up Dad. I tried to get rid of that bitch and now Damon's dying because of me." Bella cried over the phone."Calm down honey, Damon's not going to die. And what the hell came over you? Didn't I tell you not do anything without talking to me first?" Moore's voice came through immediately."I don't know what came over me, Dad. I wasn't thinking straight. That bitch was doing too much and I wanted to put her in her place. I didn't know Damon was going to be there.""Nate told me he pulled the trigger. But Damon shielded her and took the bullet in her place. What was he thinking Dad? That bullet was laced with wolfsbane. He could have died.""Calm down, honey. And keep your voice down. What if people hears you? Where are you right now?""Outside Damon's ward. It's late so one's around.""I hate that you take after me because you don't listen. I told you to play it smart. Now's the time to give Damon a heir and secure our place in the pack. How are we supposed to do that if he's l

Chapter Thirty Nine

"I assure you, Doctor Nelson, that bitch is not my wife." Damon answered, staring at a confused Doctor Nelson before turning his attention back to Bella."What the fuck are you doing here?" He snapped."What do you mean, baby? I came here to see you. I even brought fruits." Bella answered, putting the fruit basket on the table besides her."I don't want your damn fruits. Get out. Now!"He pointed to the door.Doctor Nelson's cleared his throat. "I will leave you two to it." Without saying another word, he turned and excused himself, closing the door behind him.Damon didn't wait and repeated again. "What are you still doing here? I said get out.""Why are you treating me like this, babe. I came here for you." Bella said and dabbed at her cheeks. Damon rolled his eyes. He knew Bella well enough to know they were fake tears."Don't you dare pull that shit on me Bels. It won't work.""What has come over you, Damon? Why did you take a bullet for that bitch? I told you several times to st

After staying outside the ward for a few minutes and watching Marcus leave, Jessie finally turned and walked back into the room.Amber opened her eyes the moment she heard the door open.“Is that woman gone?” she asked softly.Jessie nodded. “She is.”“Thank you.”“There’s nothing to thank me for, babe. I was more than glad to take care of that bitch, and I’d do it again if I had to,"“Honestly, Bree, I’m no longer okay with you staying in this city. What if something happened to you tonight and you didn’t make it? What would I have told Jason?" Jessie said and took a seat on the bed beside Amber.Amber let out a long sigh. “I don’t know, Jess. I’m scared too. I just don’t understand why anyone would want me dead. But I can’t leave until I find my daughter.”“What about Marcus? Did you talk to him?”Jessie nodded. “Yeah. He just left.”Amber lowered her head in shame and drew in a deep breath. “It’s all my fault. I messed things up between us. He didn’t deserve any of that.”Jessie pl
