“I can’t believe it, sir. Are you really getting married to that woman?” Benjamin, my secretary, asked, his surprise

evident.

“As you can see, she and | have clearly drafted a sample contract, which means that | will be marrying her,” |

said, pointing out the obvious.

It was obvious that he wasn’t exactly ecstatic about the idea ofmarrying Amber, and I could understand him

since marriage wasn’t exactly a conventional way to go about revenge.

“Forgivefor what I'm about to say, sir, but when | told you about that woman and how Kayden Black had

dumped her, the idea | had in mind had nothing to do with marriage at all. I still feel there are other ways you

could help her get her revenge without having to marry her,” he said, and | had to

agree that he had a point.

“I understand your concerns, Ben, but | feel like you're missing the bigger picture here. You better than anyone

should know that | would never go into something without having my reasons, so instead of seeming so worried

and disappointed, why don’t you just trust me?” | responded, not interested in

explaining myself any further.

Benjamin would sigh, obviously not ready to back down. “Does the lady know the real reason you war to use

her?” he asked.

| scoffed. “Of course, she doesn’t. There's no reason for her to know anything else besides the fact

that I'm willing to help her, and you better not let a single soul hear about the things | have in

mind. Is that clear?” | warned sternly.

| preferred Amber to believe that | had a business-related grudge against Kayden since that would

prevent her from asking too many questions.

“You know you can always trust me, sir. The only thing I'm worried about now, besides the fact that

you're marrying a stranger, is how your family will react to the news. The Chairman isn’t going to like the idea of

you marrying a divorcee, especially not one that was associated with the Black

family,” Ben pointed out.

And | let out a tired sigh. | had already imagined several times in my head how my father would react

when he found out | was getting married. Of course, | could already picture my family being super

My mother would most likely throw a huge party once she heard the news, and my father would equa

be excited.

The only problem now was that Amber had been married before, and my parents might not like the id

ofgetting married to someone who was divorced. What made the matter much worse was the fact that

Amber had been married to Kayden Black, and since the Blacks and my family have never seen eye to eye

getting my father and mother to accept Amber might be quite difficult.

“Well, eventually they're going to have to accept my choice, even if they don’t love the factors surrounding her.

All I need to do is find a way to get them to like Amber enough to overlook her baggage,” | replied.

“Again, | don’t mean to offend you or anything, but judging by my investigations, your fiancee might be having

mental issues,” he stated. “| found out that she had been seeing a shrink in the last three months, and it seems

like she is also being heavily medicated. | really don’t think it is right for you to introduce her to your parents

when you're not even sure that she’s in her right mind.”

A soft laugh escaped me. “Just what makes you think that | care about how sane or insane that woman is I'm

marrying her for one reason only, and that is to use her. | don’t care if she is sane or not. In fact, | don’t expect

her to be sane. She has to be a little bit crazy if she wants to be of any use

to me,” | quickly clarified.

I didn’t care if Amber was sane or not. Left to me, | would say that she had a few loose screws, but

I highly doubted that her mental condition was that bad. As long as her head was clear enough to make

discussions and put up a font, that was all that really mattered to me.

Benjamin sighed in resignation. “I can see clearly that nothing I say is going to change your mind, sir. If that’s

the case, congratulations are in order,” he replied.

“Thank you, Benjamin. Now, prepare a document with those rules | sent to you, and ask the lawyers to help with

the prenuptial agreement so we can get this over with,” | instructed.

He nodded in understanding before bowing his head and leaving. Inmediately after he left, my phone rang on

the table, and when | checked the caller ID, | realized that it was Amber.

“Hello,” | calmly greeted, waiting for her to tellwhy she called since | was not expecting her to

call at all.

“Huh hello Richard How are you?” she asked and | could tell that wasn’t the only thing she had to

“Huh...hello Richard. How are you?” she asked, and | could tell that wasn’t the only thing she had to say to me

because of how shaky her voice was.

“I'm alright, Amber. What is it? Do you need something?”

“So actually, | becquite restless concerning the proposal you made toyesterday about working for one

of your companies. | ended up spending all morning looking into all the subsidiaries you have and if any of them

might pique my interest,” she started,

“Did any of them pique your interest then? Is there one of them you'd like to learn about much

better?”

“There's something I'd like to talk to you about, but I don’t want us to talk over the phone. And | know this might

seem a little sudden, but I'd like to cto your office for a bit if you don’t

mind,” she responded.

“You want to chere?” | asked, wanting to be sure | heard right.

“Yes, | want to. In fact, I'm already here.”
