Amber POVDinner that evening felt different.For the first time in weeks, everyone was together.Jason was sitting beside me again.Every now and then, our hands brushed beneath the table, as if both of us needed to reassure ourselves that the other was really there.Before dinner began, I remembered the bag I had carried back from the mine."Oh!"Everyone looked at me as I placed it on the table."I almost forgot."Jason smiled knowingly."The shopping spree."Mrs. Sun looked confused."What shopping spree?"I opened the bag.One by one, I began taking out crowns, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and tiaras.The room fell completely silent.Mrs. Sun's mouth slowly fell open."Amber..."She picked up one of the crowns with both hands."...these belong in a museum."She looked around the room."You don't carry something like this around in a handbag!"I laughed."It wasn't even noticeable."Jason chuckled."I can confirm.""It looked like she'd barely taken anything."Everyone stared at h

Amber POVI looked over at Jason, who was sitting on the couch with a blanket over his legs, looking much healthier than he had only a few days before.He caught me staring and smiled."What?"I held up my phone."I think it's time we answer."He already knew what I meant."The rumors?"I nodded."They're using your silence against you.""They're saying you haven't defended me because the divorce is real."Jason let out a tired sigh."Would it help if you posted a picture of me?""I don't want to invade your privacy."He didn't even hesitate."Amber."I looked at him."You never have to ask permission to defend us."He reached for my hand."Go ahead."He smiled softly."But...""I do have one request.""What is it?"He gently intertwined our fingers."Take a picture of this."I looked down.Our wedding rings rested side by side."I want them to see that."I couldn't help smiling."You really are sentimental.""Only with you."I leaned over and kissed his forehead before taking two pic

Amber POVJust when we thought the situation couldn't become any more absurd, it did.It started with a phone call from River City.One of the Sun Corporation office buildings had been attacked.An armed gang had broken into the building during the early hours of the morning, smashing computers, destroying furniture, vandalizing offices, and attempting to access confidential company files before security and the police arrived.Fortunately, no employees had been seriously injured.The relief lasted only a few seconds.Because during the police interviews, every single member of the gang told the same story."We were hired by Amber Asher."When Jason repeated those words, I simply stared at him."...Seriously?"He nodded grimly."They're all saying it."I couldn't even be angry anymore.It was becoming predictable."If I wanted to damage Sun Corporation," I said, "I certainly wouldn't hire criminals to announce my name before getting arrested."Marcus couldn't help laughing."They're n

Amber POVI don't remember the drive from the airport to the school.One moment I was on the plane.The next I was standing outside the front gates, surrounded by flashing police lights.The school grounds were eerily quiet.Parents had already collected their children.Teachers stood together in small groups, many of them crying.Alex had never failed to come home.Not once.Jason met me before I could even reach the entrance.Without saying a word, he pulled me into his arms."I'm sorry."I shook my head."This isn't your fault."He rested his forehead against mine."We're going to find him.""We have to."The search had already spread beyond the school.Security guards.Police.Military personnel.Volunteers.Everyone was looking.The first clue came less than an hour later.One of the guards called over the radio."We found something."Jason and I ran.Lying on the shoulder of a road behind the school...Was Alex's smartwatch.I immediately recognized it.I had designed every emer

Amber POVAlex had left us a trail.Now it was our turn to follow it.Only four people knew where that trail ended.Jason.Marcus.Pamela.And me.No one else.Not the military.Not the police.Not Emory.Not even our parents.The little blinking signal on my laptop pointed to a tiny abandoned island off the coast of Sum, an island everyone believed had been deserted decades ago because of the poisonous gases that seeped from the old mines.Jason folded the map and looked at the three of us."We're not telling anyone."Marcus nodded immediately."I agree."Pamela looked surprised."Not even Emory?"Jason slowly shook his head."No.""The fewer people who know where Alex is, the safer he is."He looked at each of us."We already know Sun Corporation was compromised.""We know investors were compromised.""We've had people inside our own companies feeding information to the Vincents."He paused."I'm done taking chances."No one argued.As much as it hurt to leave Emory out of this...J
