Amber PovI was lying on a cold floor when I woke up while my hands and feet were tied. I force myself to get up and sit on the floor. I was surprised when I saw Grandpa Fidel one meter away from me. Just like me, he was also lying on the floor with his hands and feet tied up. I quickly approached him to wake him up."Wake up, Grandpa. Wake up," I slightly shook his shoulder to wake him up.I scanned the place where we in and I think we were inside an old or abandoned warehouse.Grandpa Fidel finally opened his eyes and furrowed when she saw me. "Amber? What are you doing here? Did that bastard Jigo kidnap you too?" he asked me angrily."Calm down, Grandpa. Okay?" I quickly stopped him from getting angry. I'm worried that it worsened his health. "I was kidnapped by three men while I was on my way to my wedding. I didn't know who kidnapped me but since you said that you were kidnapped by Phil's uncle I guess that he was the person who ordered these men to kidnap me," I explained to him
Amber's Pov "Hey, you're really lucky tonight, Amber. A lot of customers gave you a tip this night," Mildy, my colleague as a waitress at the night bar I work, my classmate in school and also my best friend commented on me while smiling widely. The bar we work at is not a bar with dancing GROs, but only women who sing and dance on stage and wear proper clothes. But of course, when people hear the word "night bar" they will think of women dancing on stage while stripping their clothes even though not all night bars are like that. But I do know that I have waitress colleagues who are willing to go with the customers and do all the way jobs outside the bar. It is up to us waitresses to decide if we agree to "go all the way" and the bar management has nothing to do with it. But if other waitresses do it so that they can earn more money, not me. I am satisfied with the meager income I earn as a waitress as long as my money comes from a clean way. I use to pay for my education with the mon
Amber Pov"Night bar?" suddenly asked the handsome man who didn't seem to like what he heard."Yes, Mr. Salvatore. My stepsister works at a night bar," Ruby answered. "We don't want her to work there because her work is dirty and it could ruin her reputation but she doesn't want to listen to us. She is very hard-headed. She says that money is easy and fast to earn at the night bar where she works, especially if her customers are gallant," Ruby's lengthy explanation to the man she called Mr. Salvatore. I couldn't help but to raised my eyebrows again to the highest level after I heard what my stepsister said."There's nothing wrong with me working in a night bar. What's wrong are the people with dirty minds and narrow-minded just like you," I defended my job. I feel like Ruby wants me to look bad in front of the man called Mr. Salvatore and I don't know why she did that."Amber is right, Ruby. Don't bring your behavior there into our house. And are you not ashamed of our visitors and yo
Amber PovMy eyes widened when I heard what Uncle Roman's handsome guest said. My expression was shocked but I quickly calmed myself down. Maybe this handsome guy is just kidding me. Don't he dare to kid me something like this because he will taste my strong kick in his golden balls."What nonsense are you talking about, Mister? And why would I be your wife?" I asked him in disbelief.Only then did the man stand up straight and I discovered that he would pass as a basketball player. He is too tall. I'm not short but if you compare my height with his, we will look like beautiful David and handsome Goliath. I still have to look up at him to see his face."Didn't you fight that you are Amber because you want to be my wife and not your sister?" the man talking to me raised his eyebrows. His face was serious and could also read the way he look at me that he looked down on me. Why? But whatever his reason was I didn't like it."You know, Mr—""Phil Salvatore," he quickly cuts what I was goi
Amber PovI still can't believe how fast things happened. Two days ago, my marital status was still single but now I am already a married woman. I feel like I'm having a nightmare. Yes. It was a nightmare for me because I married a man I didn't know very well. And I am just eighteen years old. Too young to get married. I never thought that I will marry a stranger and enter into a contract marriage. Even if it was just a contract marriage and we will divorce after six months, I still got married and I will become a divorced woman at a young age. But as of now, I am Mrs. Pauline Amber Cruz-Salvatore.After Phil Salvatore talked to me and convinced me of the marriage contract he offered, we quickly flew to Hongkong to get married there. I don't know why we have to get married in another country when we can get married here in the Philippines. But then I suddenly thought that it was better that we got married abroad because it will be easier for us to separate when the contract we signed
Amber PovWhen I married Phil, I expected that we would sleep in different rooms since we weren't a real couple. We are just a couple on paper and in his grandfather's eyes. That's why I didn't expect that we would sleep in the same room and especially in the same bed. Even if our marriage is fake, he was still a man and I am a woman. I guess I'm at a disadvantage in this situation."Can't I just sleep in another room? There are many rooms in your mansion so there's no need for us to crowd into your room," I suggested to Phil. I was secretly praying that he would agree."How can we convince people here that we're a couple if we sleep in different rooms? My bed is big so even if you roll your body you won't fall," Phil answered me. He has no intention of granting my wish. "And if you're thinking that I'm going to climb to your side, then don't worry because it won't happen. I'm going to be honest with you, lady. You are not my type," he told me frankly as if he didn't care if I get hur
Amber PovI woke up when I heard a loud knock on the door of Phil's room which was now my room as well. I quickly got out of bed to open the door. I saw the maid Carmen outside the room waiting for me with a frown on her face. Her eyebrows rose after looking at me from my head to my feet."Our bosses have been waiting for you for a while, but you were just sleeping," she said gruffly to me. It's obvious that I just woke up because my hair is frizzy and maybe it's obvious on my face too.After I put my clothes in the closet earlier I decided to take a shower while I waited for Phil to come back although I already took a bath in the hotel where we stay after our marriage. But after I took a shower, I suddenly felt sleepy. I didn't sleep well last night because I was wondering if I made the right decision. I slept without combing so my hair is still frizzy."I fell asleep after taking a shower. I was sleepy because I didn't sleep much last night. You know, Phil and I are just newlyweds s
Amber PovWe just finished eating our lunch but I still feel hungry. I was not able to eat properly because the people with me stared at me all the time except Phil. Who will be able to eat if all those in front of you have their eyes focused on you? The truth is I almost choked my food earlier but it's good that I didn't choke. I will become a laughingstock if it happened. But I felt very awkward. I feel like a specimen being observed under a microscope. Phil seemed to be the only one who didn't waste his eyes on me while we were eating. What he did will definitely raise doubts in the minds of the people who live in this house. Because Phil is not sweet to me just like normal newlyweds who can hardly be separated from each other."Phil, are you sure that this woman is your wife already?" Aunt Aloha asked her nephew impatiently after she wiped her mouth with a table napkin. My intention to stand up was interrupted when I heard that question from his aunt.Phil didn't answer his aunt's
