Richard stared at Amber with a worried look on his face. He could tell that she was extremely

agitated at the moment, and it made him wonder what Kayden and her sister could have said to her to

rile her up so much.

“Listen, Amber, | can’t tell you that | understand what you’re going through right now or how you're

feeling, but if there is one thing | can assure you of, it's that your anger towards Kayden is

something | can relate to, to an extent,” he started.

He knew that what Amber was feeling now was an emotion that he could not relate to, and he could also

sense that she was holding back from expressing her feelings in front of him, most likely because she

didn’t trust him.

“Now, as much as | love that you agreed to my proposal, | do think that it is essential for both of us to talk things

through before getting into it,” he said, his tone serious. “As much as | don’t

want to scare you, | have to tell you that I'm a pretty strict guy, and | never like to cross lines

that shouldn't be crossed. So, for both of us to get through this, we need to make clear lines that

neither of us is allowed to cross, and until we get those boundaries out of the way, there will be no

wedding.”

Amber sighed, her frustration mounting. She knew that Richard had a point, but after seeing how happy

and satisfied Kayden and Marlene looked, all she wanted was to get the wedding out of the way and

just have Richard's last name.

She knew it was crazy that she was suddenly the desperate one, but the circumstances she found

herself in had turned her into something she would have never imagined herself to be.

“Okay, fine, Richard. | do have rules that | want to lay in place, so how about we go back to my place, get the

rules out of the way, and start planning a wedding?” she suggested, not bothering to hide the fact that she was

impatient. “I know you probably think that I'm crazy right now because of how |

sound, but this is just how desperate I've become, and since you're going to be my husband, you'll

sadly have to deal with me.”

Richard almost refused her proposal to go over to her place. Just as she didn’t trust him and wasn’t

entirely comfortable around him, he was equally uncomfortable.

He had never imagined himself being a husband to anybody, but the fact that he was now about to marry a

stranger, who he could tell wasn’t at her best mentally, made him wonder just how far he could go to make sure

Kayden Black was terminated.

“Get in the car,” he calmly instructed, before walking back into the car.

Amber sighed, wiping away her dried tears and doing as he asked without question.

As soon as she got in, he turned the car around and started to drive in the opposite direction of her house.

“Where are you taking me?” she questioned.

“My place,” he responded.

“Why? Isn't it a better idea to go to my place since it’s much closer?” she asked, wondering why he wasn’t just

taking her to her place.

Since she didn’t trust him just yet, she wondered if there was a chance that he had an ulterior motive. But then

again, she had to remind herself that not everyone was out to get her, telling herself that he must have his

reasons.

“If you and | are going to get married, we need to slowly start spreading the news ofhaving a girlfriend, so

the public doesn’t get too surprised. I'm pretty sure there's a few paparazzi stationed at my place, and once they

seecoming up with a mysterious woman, they'll do a good job at writing articles on your existence before

our wedding,” he explained.

Amber nodded in understanding. “That makes sense, | guess. But | don’t think showing my face now is the right

timing. | mean, | only just divorced Kayden, and since you two are kind of rivals, the public could end up

speculating that | was having an affair with you while | was still married to Kayden,” she pointed out, not wanting

to be labeled as a cheat by people who didn’t know her.

Richard turned to look at her briefly, throwing her what Amber could have sworn was a glare. She immediately

wondered what she could have said that made him want to glare at her, but because of how quickly he turned

his attention back to the road, she couldn't be too sure if he had really glared at her or if she was imagining

things.

“I personally don’t think you should be bothered by that since the public didn’t seem to have a problem with him

marrying your sister barely three months after you two divorced. But, just so you know, | also don’t want your

face to be seen just yet. Not because | care much if the public assumes you and | were lovers while you were

married, but because | don’t want to give Kayden a heads-up jus

Amber could ‘sense that he was upset for sreason, but she didn’t understand why he sounded so upset She

believed that what she said made sense, and she also felt that even though Kayden had married

the side her sister and didn’t get any backlash, it didn’t mean that people still wouldn't give her th

eye and label her as a cheat, which was the last thing she wanted.

When she could no longer stand wondering why Richard was upset, she decided to ask him what was going

“Should | be?” Richard responded nonchalantly in a tone that irritated Amber a little.

“You know, if you have something to say, go right ahead and say it instead of givingan attitude,”

she hissed.

Richard sighed. The last thing he wanted was to argue with Amber, but he also couldn't help but be slightly

disappointed that she was a lot weaker than he thought.

“I'm going to ask you this question once, Amber, and when | do, | want you to givean impressive response. If

you don’t, I'll drive you back hright now, and you can forget that we ever had any sort of arrangement,” he

said, and Amber was slightly taken aback.

“Shoot!” she encouraged, curious to hear what he wanted to ask, despite his harsh tone.

“How ready are you to take revenge on Kayden and your sister, and how far are you willing to go?” h asked.

Even though his question didn’t sound difficult at first, it dawned on her how important it was, and Amber quickly

realized that she might not have the perfect response he was looking for.
