Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

While the two couples were having a blissful time in each other's presence, Amber was seething as she threw the items around her hard on the floor. The flower vase shattered into pieces the moment it touched the ground. Next, she swept all the items on the dressing table, sending tremors down the maid, who was standing just outside her room.

Since the moment she had returned home, Amber had locked herself up in her room. Although nobody could see what was happening inside, they could guess from the shattering noises they could hear. The entire house was filled with noises of glass breaking or items falling and, nobody knew what to do.

"Who the fuck do those bitches think they are?" She cursed as she destroyed another vase. "Who gave them the rights to stop me from meeting my man? My man. Joshua is my man." Amber stared at the mirror as she enunciated each word slowly. "Those bitches don't know who I am. I am Amber. I need to teach them a lesson. How dare they stop me, Amber, from entering Joshua's room!!" Her fury rose again, and she searched for an item to smash. But by now all the possible destructible items were now lying dead on the floor, and Amber could not find anything else to appease her anger.

Her eyes fell on her phone, and she picked it up to hurl at the ground when the device vibrated, stopping her in her place. She glared at her phone for disturbing her. But her eyes widened when she saw who was calling her. She did not waste another moment to accept the call.

"Hello," Her demeanor changed all of a sudden.

"What the fuck are you doing? Why am I receiving complaints from the butler?" The man on the other side roared, making Amber flinch and shudder. She cursed under her breath, wishing to kill the butler for ratting out on her. 

"No, no, you must have heard it wrong." Amber tried to coax the man and his anger. But the man was having none of it.

"Amber, don't you dare lie to me. You are here on my orders, and you will do as I say. If you don't follow my words, it is very easy for me to discard you." The man threatened, and Amber clenched her free hand, her fury spiking up at his every word.

"I understand. I will not cause any more trouble." Amber forced the words out even though she was unwilling. The man she was talking to held the power to end her life in a blink, and she did not want to test his patience on this matter. Following his words was the only option she had, and if that saved her ass from him, then she would do it.

"And don't you dare insult the maids or the servants. They are not working for you, they only listen to me. If I get a word about your irresponsible and rude behavior towards them, the butler has my order to shoot you on spot. Don't test me on that."

The man warned her, and Amber's hands shook the next instant. She perceived that he was not joking about this matter and the butler really had his orders to shoot her if she were to misbehave again. Amber gritted her teeth, wishing to kill the man who was controlling her life like a puppet. If not for him helping her to get Joshua, she would have long left his prison, disregarding his orders like the trash they were just like him.

"The butler told me that you smashed the things in your room. Am I right?" Amber gulped as soon as she heard his low, deadly voice on the phone. She glanced around the room and immediately regretted losing herself to her anger. 

"But I was angry."

"It was my property that you destroyed." The man's reply was quick. "You will have to compensate for it." 

"What do you mean?" Amber realized that she would not be liking whatever she be hearing next.

"You will clean your room, and for the next fifteen days, you will be in charge of yourself. Nobody in the mansion will cater for you."

"What?" Amber shouted on the phone. "You cannot do that."

"Oh, I can and I will. Remember that your life is in my mercy. I can end you in a blink of an eye, and you will not even notice." The man did not back off. He knew that Amber would surrender eventually, and that was what happened next. "Nobody will help you in your work. You will cook for yourself, you will wash your own clothes and you will do all your work by yourself."

Amber did not say another word, for she knew that the man would only twist her words and put her in a disadvantageous situation and punish her all the more. And that was the last thing he wanted. 'I am only enduring you because of Joshua. Otherwise, you would be dead meat by now.' She thought to herself. 'I not forget the humiliation I suffered today. Once I get back with Joshua, I will teach you a lesson.' She made a vow as she stared at the litter she had to clean after the phone call.

"By the way, what happened to our main mission at hand? Did you get back with Joshua?"

"No. I didn't."

"Why?"

"The two sluts are not allowing me to meet him in private."

"Who are you talking about?"

"I am talking about the two sluts who keep guarding him and keeping me away from me. You have no idea what happened today. Those two girls threw me out of the ward, and I could do nothing." Amber vented all her frustration and sufferings to the man who gave a deaf ear to them. He knew what kind of a woman Amber was, and he was in no mood to entertain her. If not for the fact that she was useful for him in his goals, he would have shot her dead already. She was nothing but a brainless bitch who was only foiling all his plans.

"Amber, listen to me and listen to me carefully. I brought you back not to hear your complaints. I want results, and I want them soon. I don't know what you will do or how you will do it, you must separate Joshua from his girlfriend. Otherwise, let's assume that you are as good as dead." Without another word, the man ended the call, leaving a pale-faced Amber staring at her phone in horror.
