"Shit!" I cursed under my breath, I hadn't thought of that before I pulled my first prank on her.******After Amber had finished picking up all the popcorn from the floor, Mrs Laurette made dinner for the two of them."Mum," Amber called to Mrs Laurette."You can call me mum too, I raised you," Mrs Laurette gave Amber a warm smile, then a questioning look."OK, my mistake, sorry Mum, I just wanted to ask you a question," Amber said."Alright, go on," Mrs Laurette said."Since Aunt Matilda is my mum and Mr Nathan isn't my dad, who is my dad?" Amber asked.Mrs Laurette paused for a moment, then straightened and met Amber's eyes."Honey, that was a long time ago, and besides, I was only dating Mr Oliver then, I didn't know much about this family," Mrs Laurette said."All right, that's fine, I just wanted to know, thank you for dinner, I'm going upstairs," Amber said as she stood up."Amber, wait," Mrs Laurette held Amber's hand."I don't want you to stress about whoever he is, he left y
"He's not the one losing patience here, It's our boss," the man told Amber.As they entered the living room, the Uber driver pointed to a sofa for her to sit on."Wait here! He'll be out soon," the number driver instructed, then disappeared from the living room, leaving Amber with the huge, scary man, who looked like he'd never smiled in his life, not even attempted to."(Clears throat) Sir, please can I know why I'm here, I haven't done anything to you or your boss, please I want to go, I'll never turn up again," Amber pleaded, but the man didn't move an inch, he didn't even bother to look at Amber."Oh God! What have I got myself into? Why didn't I just stay back?" Amber mumbled, all she wanted was to get a glimpse of the building, maybe spy on who went in and out, how she ended up here, how she ended up in the hands of a mafia.Amber waited for over an hour, but there was no sign of whoever the boss was.She caught herself falling asleep, but the sound of an unfamiliar voice woke h
"I'm sure she hasn't told you anything, but how about I tell you a story that will make you hate your grandmother forever," the man said, leaning back in his seat."You see, a long time ago, before you were born, I was deeply in love with your mother, Matilda. Our love was so strong that it felt inseparable. Nothing really stood in our way, except that your grandmother didn't like me because I didn't come from a wealthy background, but I didn't care what she thought of me, I was willing to do anything to show her that I truly loved Matilda.On the day you were born, I was on my way to the hospital when this group of guys attacked my car, took me to an unknown warehouse, tortured me and warned me to stay away from your mother. Obviously it was your grandmother. But I didn't give up, I wanted to see my little girl, and no matter what it took, despite being covered in blood, I drove to the hospital, only to find out that she had been released the same day.I went to the Coopers' house fo
"No, please go on, I need to know everything," I told him."I think you should rest, I have a busy day tomorrow, someone has to die," he said and in a split second he had reverted to the beast he was."Die? Oh no! Is it me?" Amber asked. The man didn't answer, instead he grinned at Amber and then stood up."Master! We were attacked! Master!" A man ran towards where the boss was standing."Calm down Lucas, what's the problem?" The Master asked. Just before the man could explain. I heard several shots from outside."It's Wayne, he's here," the man finally muttered."Shit! They were all dead," muttered another guard standing by the dining table."What did you just say?" the boss turned to question the guard who spoke."I'm so sorry, sir," the guard pleaded, and almost immediately I heard another shot, it wasn't from outside, my whole body was covered in blood again, the man standing a few centimetres away from me was lying on the floor, another person shot? Oh God!"They've broken into t
MRS LAURETTE."Darling, have you heard from her?" Mr Oliver asked over the phone."No I haven't, I've been trying to reach her but she's not answering, she's supposed to be back by now, gosh! I'm so worried, I barely slept last night," Mrs Laurette grumbled."What are we going to do now, I haven't told anyone yet, they might scold her if she really did run off to see a boy, I know my father wouldn't take it seriously," said Mr Oliver."But I don't think she ran off with a boy, we both talked about investigating your mother's case.""Case? What do you mean?" Mr Oliver sounded confused."Uh, I think we should meet first, I'll be on my way soon, I'll tell you everything at the hospital," Mrs Laurette said, then hung up."Oh God, what has that girl got herself into?" Mrs Laurette dialled Amber's number again, but there was no answer.TALIA AND THERESA.Talia woke up to her phone ringing, she had left it on in the middle of the night in case Wayne really wanted to hug her, Talia lazily rea
She got up from the bed and hurried to the bathroom.When she got back to the hospital and went to the reception, she saw Wayne getting into a lift, she gave him a confused look."What could he be doing here?" she wondered."Hello ma'am, how can I help you?" She turned back to the receptionist."I'm looking for my daughter, Amber," Mrs Laurette replied."Okay, give me a second, let me check my file," the receptionist flipped through a large book on the counter."Okay, take the lift to the thirteenth floor, her room is just around the corner," the lady said."Thank you," Mrs Laurette said as she walked straight to the lift she had seen Wayne take earlier.WAYNE & AMBER.Amber noticed that Wayne got a call so he left but after a few minutes he was back, now she could finally ask him why he shot her and why he also saved her.When Wayne returned he noticed that the nurse was gone and Amber was now alone in the room. He walked in and his eyes met Amber's."Why?" Amber asked. Wayne looked
They all stood there, speechless, astonished and, most of all, slapped in the face."What the hell just happened?" Mr Oliver muttered."No! Somebody tell me this isn't true, Wayne agreed to buy us three Ferrari's and not two, he has that much money?" Mrs Laurette was stunned."But how did he make so much money? How did he become richer than us in less than two years, how is that possible?" Mr Oliver wondered."That fool broke my hands, he'll pay for that," Mr Natham grumbled."Get a nurse to fix your hand, your fingers look badly twisted," Mr Cooper said to Mr Nathan.Mrs Laurette looked at Amber, she was lost in thought, Mrs Laurette approached Amber."Does it hurt a lot?" She asked Amber, which got Amber's attention."Of course it hurts, but why did he say I tried to kill him once, why did he bring me here, why did he fucking save me if he really wanted to pay me back?" Tears began to roll down Amber's cheeks."Mother tell me something," she said to Mrs Laurette, Mrs Laurette nodded
"Father, now the nurse is gone you can tell us about the man called Ralph," Mr Oliver said.Mr Cooper sighed heavily, then he leaned back in his chair, he looked at Amber and then he said."Ralph is Amber's father," Mr Cooper said simply."Father?" Mr Oliver muttered in disbelief."You see, your grandmother never liked him, but what I do know is that he never came to the hospital the day you and your sister were born, and that's why your grandmother decided to give me away, so the burden wouldn't be so heavy on Matilda."You mean to say that she sold me because the resemblance between me and Ralph was crazy, and then she tried to kill Ralph, but when Ralph escaped from the assassins who were sent to kill him, he finally came to the hospital, but when he got to the hospital, he was told that Matilda had already left, when he got to our house, Matilda had flown to another country ....,""Will you shut your filthy mouth young lady," Mr Cooper growled angrily, but Amber didn't stop."And
