Amber PovI was about to enter our room when Karen called my name. I didn't notice that she followed me to our room. I frowned at her. "What do you need?" I asked her. I was obviously forced to talk to her. "Tell me, Amber. You knew that Pao's toy cockroach had fallen into one of the four iced tea glasses you were carrying but you just pretended not to notice. Then you made sure that the cockroach glass will end up with me so I can drink it, right?"I clapped softly because she guessed what I did earlier. Did she think that she was the only one who knew how to think of a scheme? Well, she was wrong. Because I know it too. But she started it so she shouldn't blame me."You're good, Karen. You guessed what really happened," I smirked at her."How dare you scheme on me!" Karen shouted angrily. She tried to slap me but I quickly blocked her hand. "You think you're the only one who knows how to play dirty tricks, Karen?" "They will find out what you did, Amber. Grandpa and Phil w

Amber Pov A low moan escaped my lips as I regained consciousness. "Amber. Are you awake? How are you? Tell me where it hurts?" I heard Phil's worried voice. Even before I opened my eyes, he was talking to me. I slowly opened my eyes. Despite the pain in my body, I still felt happy when I saw him standing next to me and holding one of my hands. I was secretly thrilled when he brought my hand to his lips and gently kissed the back of my palm. "Phil," my voice hoarsely said his name. "Do you feel any pain in your body? Tell me and I will call a doctor," the concern still did not disappear from his face but the happiness to see me awake was also visible on his face. I shook my head weakly. My body hurt as if I had been beaten by ten people and the part of my head also hurt because there was a wound but Phil had nothing to worry about because the pain was tolerable. I think I got the wounds on my head because my head was bumped into the glass window of my car. "I thought I would

Amber PovPhil remains silent until we reach our house. But I can feel his pent-up anger towards me. I want to talk to him but it seems that he doesn't want to start a conversation with me so I remain silent. He entered the house first and went straight to our room. I didn't follow him inside our room immediately because I was too tense with his behavior. But I can't just stay here outside the room and keep on standing just like a security guard. So I took a deep breath and decided to go inside. I have to face his anger. He probably won't hurt me physically just because I went out even though he ordered that I can't go out because my situation is dangerous right now. When I entered our room, I found Phil drinking wine while standing near the bed. I slowly walked to the bed. I was very careful not to make any noise with my feet as if a monster would wake up if I made even the slightest sound. That's why when Phil spoke, I was really surprised and suddenly sat on the edge of the bed

Amber Pov I kept taking secret deep sighs as I sat next to Phil who was driving the car. I also often glance at him when he's not looking at me. I feel restless. I'm close to our school but until now I still haven't been able to tell him that I'll be home late later because I'll be attending the small party that Migz prepared at the restaurant that's right next to our school. He told us that he had already made a reservation at the restaurant. It would be a shame if I didn't show up because already gave them my promise, Migz has already paid for the restaurant too. Because the payment is per head at the restaurant where we will eat later so it's embarrassing if I will not going to attend since he already paid for my food too. I don't know what Phil had eaten and suddenly he decided to drive me to school today. And I don't even know if he will pick me up after school. When his car stopped in front of the school gate, I closed my eyes and took another deep breath to brace myself. I h

Amber PovI have no choice but to bring Phil along and introduce him to my classmates. But I gave him one condition. I will introduce him to my classmates not as my husband but as my cousin. The reason I gave him was our contract. We are just a couple in front of his family and some situations. But in front of my classmates Phil and I don't have to pretend that we are a couple. My classmates shouldn't know that I am married even if it is just a contract marriage or a fake marriage because no one will have the courage to like or date me in the future because they know that I am already married. So Phil has also no choice but to agree to my condition."Migz, is it okay if my cousin will join us?" I asked my classmate when I returned to our table and Phil was with me. "Because I live at their house and he wants me to go home so I'm just making him wait until we're done," I explained to them. "Yes, of course," Migz answered quickly. He stood up and pulled out a chair for Phil to sit on
