Amber’s footsteps echoed across the marble floor of her bedroom as she paced back and forth, her mind
racing as she thought of how to put her plans in place. She glanced at her phone, watching it ring as she waited for Helena to pick up her call.
After what seemed like an eternity, the fourth ring finally gave way to Helena’s voice on the other
end of the line. “Miss Amber, I’m so sorry for not picking up much sooner,” Helena’s voice was
apologetic. “I needed to find a quiet place where I could talk without anyone overhearing me.”
Amber waved off the apology with a slight smile. “It’s okay, Helena. I understand. Now, tell me, how
are things over at the house?” Her voice was laced with curiosity, and she hoped that something was
going on.
Helena took a deep breath before responding. “Not much has been happening, Miss Amber. Both Mr. Black
and Miss Marlene have been… peaceful, almost distant, in my opinion. They’re hardly ever at home these days.” She paused, a sigh escaping her l*ps, before she continued. “Miss Marlene keeps saying she’s going to her mother’s place, and as for M. Black, he only comes home late at night and leaves
early in the morning.”
Amber’s brow furrowed in frustration, and her mind filled with possibilities as she considered the implications of what Marlene’s words could mean. “Do you think they could be fighting, Helena?” she questioned.
Helena hesitated, a pause hanging in the air before she suddenly recalled something. “By the way, I forgot to mention something, Miss Amber. There was something strange that happened yesterday, and I’m not sure if it’ll be helpful to you,” Helena interjected, her voice urgent as she shared the newfound revelation with Amber. “Anyway, I overheard Kayden and Marlene talking, and it seemed like Marlene had been to the hospital.”
Amber’s eyes widened in surprise, “What do you mean? Do you know what happened, and why they were a the hospital?”
“No one knows the reason, as there was barely any communication between them yesterday. It was s strange, and the atmosphere between them was very stiff and uncomfortable. Even today, they refus to have breakfast together,” Helena explained. “I’ll try to find out more, but I have a feeling this

might be related to Marlene’s pregnancy. She hasn’t stopped clutching her belly, so I’m suspecting
that something might be wrong with the baby”
Amber’s gratitude resonated in her voice as she thanked Helena for her help. “Please keep me updated
if anything new happens between them, okay?” Amber urged.
“Don’t you worry, Miss Amber. I’ll make sure to keep you informed. You can count on me,” Helena
affirmed before the call came to an end.
As the line went silent, Amber allowed herself a moment of quiet contemplation, a sly smile quirking
the corners of her l*ps as she pondered the implications of the discord between Kayden and Marlene.
This was the opening she had been waiting for–a crack in their wall that she could exploit to sow the
seeds of chaos and doubt.
Her initial plan to turn them against each other had been put aside because of Marlene’s pregnancy.
Despite her disdain for her sister, Amber’s conscience was pricked at the thought of harming an
innocent life. She didn’t want to cause any harm to Marlene just yet, simply because she didn’t want her revenge to affect the innocent child.
She knew she had to bide her time, to wait until the moment was ripe before striking with all the
cunning and ruthlessness at her disposal. And the end game was to turn Marlene into exactly what she
had always been–a mad woman.
A soft knock on her bedroom door interrupted her thoughts, and Richard’s familiar form appeared in
the doorway, a gentle smile lighting up his features.
Amber returned the smile, a spark of affection gleaming in her gaze as she greeted him warmly. “Hey. Richard. How did the press conference go?”
Richard’s expression was clouded with a mix of frustration and resignation as he recounted the events of the press conference and how public scrutiny bore down on him and his father. “It was a mess, Ambe It was a big mess that was almost like a heated debate. The reporters on our payroll were pitted against Kayden’s allies, and those bastards weren’t pulling any punches, Richard admitted. “Despite all our efforts, the accusations against Dad continue to make headlines, painting him as a criminal trying to evade justice.”
