It had been almost four days since Amber met Richard, and the encounter had occupied her thoughts

continuously. As much as she acknowledged that accepting his offer was risky and embarrassing, she couldn't

help but contemplate the potential benefits of his proposal.

If there was one thing she had to concede, Richard was correct in identifying her as a scornful

woman.

Since witnessing Marlene and Kayden’s wedding. Amber has struggled to sleep well at night. Recurring

nightmares haunted her, featuring the joyous exchange of vows between her sister and ex-husband, despite the

profound betrayal it represented.

The emotional toll that the entire situation took on her was excruciating, especially since they showed no

pretense of caring about her or her feelings. After seeing that she had becnonexistent to them, her desire to

exact revenge on both of them and make them regret turning her into a laughingstock consumed her.

Richard's offer proved to be tempting, presenting an opportunity for her to gain the power necessary to confront

Kayden and Marlene. Since her own family had now abandoned her and she had no one else to turn to, Richard

seemed like her best bet at getting the payback she desperately wanted.

And after days of contemplation, Amber decided it was tto respond.

Richard had provided his business card for her to contact him, and she had concluded that peace was

unattainable unless she sought revenge on her ex-husband and sister.

Retrieving his business card from her bedroom, Amber made her way to the kitchen and picked up her phone to

make the call. After a few deep breaths, she found the courage to dial his number. As the phone rang, each

second felt like an eternity. Finally, the call was answered by a feminine voice,

presumably Richard's secretary.

“Good afternoon. This is the office of Mr. Romero. Who is this, and how may | help you?” the

secretary inquired.

Exhaling deeply, Amber responded, “I'm Amber. Amber Grey. Mr. Romero had personally givenhis

business line to call him concerning a proposal, and | would like you to let him know that I'm ready to give him a

response.”

“Okay, madam. Please givea second to confirm,” the secretary replied, leaving Amber in suspense as silence

enveloped the other end of the call. She nervously awaited the call to be transferred back to Richard so she

could convey her readiness to accept his marriage proposal.

She tapped her fingers nervously on the kitchen counter, hoping and praying that her delay hadn't caused

Richard to change his mind about wanting to help her.

She knew for a fact that he wasn’t doing it because he cared about her in any way. Regardless of whatever

reason he had, he was offering her a position to becthe wife of one of the wealthiest men in the country,

and that wasn’t an offer that cevery day.

“Mr. Romero has agreed to speak with you, madam.” The secretary's voice finally cback, and Amber let out

a nervous sigh she didn’t realize she was holding.

She couldn’t be confident that Richard still wanted to help her, but she had to believe that he had agreed to

speak to her because the offer was still very much open.

“Thank you,” she said, but she wasn’t even sure the secretary heard her since the line went dead, and she knew

that her call had been transferred.

“Hello, Ms. Grey.” Richard's familiar voice spoke next, and her breath hitched momentarily when she heard him

speak.

For sreason, she was feeling a lot more nervous than she expected herself to be, unsure if it was fear of

rejection or uncertainty about making the right decision.

She wanted revenge against Kayden and Marlene, but was marrying a stranger the right way to go about it?

Would her decision turn out to be her worst mistake ever? What if Richard's reason for wanting to marry her

tumed out to be more unbelievable than she expected? Could she go through with this in the long run? Was

marrying him the only way to get back at the people who betrayed her?

All these thoughts plagued her mind, and she couldn't help the nervous feeling she had.

“Ms. Grey? Are you still there?” His voice snapped her out of her reverie, and she sighed before returning her

focus fully to why she had called in the first place.

“I'm calling you concerning the offer you madethe last twe met,” she said, leaving the pleasantries

aside.

She almost wanted to ask if the offer was still available, but she decided not to, not wanting him to think that

she was desperate for his help.

“Okay. Have you made up your mind?” he asked, sounding calm and almost unbothered.

“Yes, | have. I...” she was saying, but he cut her off.

“Whatever your decision is, | promise that I'll respect it, but | don’t think this is something that

we should discuss over the phone. I'm going to send a driver to cpick you up later this evening. We'll have

dinner together and discuss whatever needs to be discussed. Is that fine?” he

interjected.

Although Amber didn’t understand why they couldn't just talk about it over the phone, she realized

that Richard must have his reasons. Since she was seriously considering accepting his marriage

proposal, having dinner with him seemed like a reasonable idea to get a glimpse of who he really

was.

“That sounds just fine to me, Mr. Romero. What tis your driver going to be arriving?” she asked.

“Does 6 p.m. sound good enough to you?” he asked.

“It’s perfect.”

“Good. The driver will call you when he arrives, and I'll see you later this evening. Also, Amber,

thank you so much for calling. | appreciate it,” he expressed.

Even though she wasn’t sure why he was thanking her when he didn’t even know her response yet, sh

felt skind of relief because it sounded like he hadn’t changed his mind yet.

“You're welcome, | guess,” she reluctantly replied.
