Chapter 110 

Third Person POV. 

Amber strode into Richard’s office, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she called out, “Surprise!” Her smile was infectious as she greeted him, catching him off guard with her unexpected visit. 

Richard’s surprise was palpable as he took in her presence, a hint of delight appearing on his face at the sight of her. 

With a warm smile, she gracefully seated herself at his table, her gaze unwavering as he stood up from his seat to stand in front of her, leaning casually against the table. “I didn’t expect you to visit, babe. You didn’t even tell me you were coming.” he remarked. It was a rare occasion for Amber to visit him at work, especially without prior notice. 

Amber chuckled softly at Richard’s words, her eyes glinting with satisfaction that stemmed from how excited she was deep down. “I thought I’d drop by to say hello since I was nearby,” she explained, her voice light and playful. 

“How come you were nearby?” Richard inquired, his curiosity piqued. 

She shifted in her seat before responding, “I met with Helena earlier to give her what you got for me earlier. Richard’s expression softened, with a hint of confusion and apprehension coloring his features as he processed her words. 

He didn’t think that Amber would quickly meet up with Helena, especially since he had thought that Amber might end up rethinking her decision and changing what she had in mind for the time being. 

“You’re quicker than I expected,” he remarked with a faint smile. 

Amber’s demeanor shifted slightly, a sense of urgency flickering in her eyes. “I need to be fast now. Richard. I can’t afford any more surprises by being slow.” 

She went on to mention her conversation with her cop friend, adding that she had mentioned Antoinette’s assault and also the possibility of Anthony’s drug use to him. 

“I gave him the video of Anthony assaulting Antoinette, but I made sure to give him a blurred video for now.” She then turned to Richard, her gaze piercing. “Have you contacted the reporters, as we

discussed?” she asked, her words laden with expectation and a touch of urgency. 

He nodded. “Yes, just as you asked. I submitted the video of Anthony’s attack on Antoinette,” he confirmed, his tone resolute. “I’ve also submitted the security footage of Marlene’s actions, as you directed. I only sent in the part where she ran into your car on purpose and then hit you after.” 

Amber smiled in satisfaction. “And you didn’t send it with audio, right? I don’t want the world to know what we talk about just yet,” she mentioned. 

“Don’t worry, Amber. I did everything the right way, just like you asked. The reporters will have the article published tomorrow, and it’ll be a whole lot of chaos.”  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Thank you for your help. I can’t wait for tomorrow,” she expressed, her voice soft. 

Richard simply nodded in response, a contemplative expression crossing his features as he fell into a moment of introspection. 

After a pause, Richard finally spoke up, his tone laced with concern. “Are you okay, Amber?” He had noticed that in the last few days, Amber hadn’t been herself, and her behavior was starting to concern him. 

Amber furrowed her brow, a flicker of confusion dancing in her eyes at his question. “Of course, I’m okay. Why do you ask?” she countered, her voice tinged with curiosity. 

Unease settled in Richard’s chest as he grappled with his thoughts. He had observed the subtle shifts in Amber’s behavior, and how she was starting to act like she was being rushed and was anxious. The only time she would look excited was when she spoke about Marlene and Kayden, and when she was talking about them, she’d be in her thoughts and not say a word at all. 

With a heavy sigh, Richard gathered his resolve, steeling himself for the conversation he was about to bring up. “I’m concerned because you seem different, Amber. You’ve not been yourself in the last few days,” he finally voiced, his tone serious. 

Amber’s scoff cut through the air, her dismissal evident in her response. “There’s nothing different about me. Richard, so don’t be so dramatic,” she asserted. “If anything, I’m more determined than ever to rid myself of my enemies, and that’s a good thing. Isn’t it?” 

Richard’s brow furrowed in contemplation. “I share your desire to rid ourselves of those horrible people, Amber, he began. “But I can’t ignore the fact that you seem solely focused on that goal

without venting out on the deeper issues. Specifically, the fight you had with Marlene and the things 

she said to you.” 

Amber’s eyes rolled in exasperation at Richard’s unexpected line of questioning. “What is it exactly 

that you want me to talk about?” she demanded, her voice tinged with impatience. 

Richard let out a weary sigh, his gaze fixed on her as he broached the sensitive topic that had 

remained unspoken between them. 

“Why did you never tell me that you couldn’t have children?” Richard’s voice was tinged with a hint 

of hurt. 

Amber’s frown deepened at his question, a shadow passing over her features as she processed his 

words. “Was I supposed to make an announcement?” she retorted, her tone defensive. 

Richard shook his head, a pained expression crossing his features. “I’m not saying you should have announced it to the world, but I wish you had shared that with me,” he confessed, his voice laden with regret “As your partner, I believe you should have confided in me and let me share your pain.”” 

Amber scoffed, her walls rising in response to his vulnerability. “There’s nothing to share,” she countered sharply. “I don’t talk about it because I don’t want to dwell on the fact that I’ll never have children. Big deal,” she added, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. 

A calm resolve settled over Richard as he sought to understand her perspective. “Then why did you 

mention having little Ambers and little Richards when we were in Italy?” he questioned, his gaze searching hers for a hint of clarity. 

When he thought back to that day, he couldn’t help but think about how sad Amber must have been when Nonna asked if they were planning on having children and how she had played along with it like it wasn’t a topic that reminded her of her pain. 

Amber’s response was swift, her words laced with finality. “I was teasing you. I knew then, as I know now, that children are not a part of our future together. It’s not part of the agreement.” 

Richard’s expression softened, remorse flashing in his eyes when he realized that his persistence had riled Amber up. “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable,” he offered, his words sincere. “I only wanted you to know that you could share the burden with me now. You’re no longer alone:

Without another word, she stood up from her seat, a definitive silence settling over the room as she 

made her exit from Richard’s office. 

Amber paced back and forth in her bedroom, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The events 

of the afternoon lingered in her mind, making her regret her actions in Richard’s office. 

The memory of their conversation weighed on her, and Amber’s heart ached with the awareness that she 

had treated Richard unkindly when all he had shown was concern and care. 

The unexpected question about her inability to have children had struck a raw nerve, unearthing the 

pain that she was trying so hard to keep buried.

As the resolve to mend the rift between them solidified in her, Amber made a decision. With a deep breath, she left her room and walked to Richard’s door. Her knuckles rapped gently against the door, the sound echoing in the empty hallway. 

The door swung open, revealing Richard standing before her with a towel wrapped around his waist. evidence of a recent shower. Amber’s gaze hungrily flickered over his form before she wrenched her thoughts back to the present, reminding herself of the purpose of her visit.

Richard furrowed his brow slightly, a silent question in his eyes as he gestured for her to enter. 

“You can come in, Amber.” 

Amber stepped into his room, the air heavy with tension as she gathered the courage to speak. “I 

wanted to apologize,” she began, her voice soft. “I shouldn’t have walked out on you earlier. I’m 

sorry.” 

Richard’s expression softened at her words. “There’s no need to apologize. If anything, I should be the one apologizing for making you uncomfortable with my questions. I was prying without considering 

your feelings, and I know I shouldn’t have done that.” 

Amber shook her head, a determined glint in her eyes as she met his gaze. “You weren’t prying, Richard, 

she insisted. “You had every right to know. As you said, you’re my partner, and I should trust you 

enough to share that part of myself with you.” 

“Amber, you really don’t have to share this if you’re not ready,” he reiterated, his voice gentle as he reached out a hand in support. “I can wait until you’re ready, and if that time never comes, I’ll respect your decision.” 

Amber’s chuckle echoed softly in the room, a hint of wistfulness underlying her light laughter. “You won’t have to wait long. Richard,” she replied. “I want to tell you.” 

“If you’re sure of this, Amber, then I’m here to listen whenever you’re ready,” he reassured her. 

For a moment, silence enveloped the room as Amber collected her thoughts, and after a deep breath, she started to explain. “When I was pregnant, the doctors told me it was a high–risk pregnancy due to my weak uterus. After the sudden miscarriage, the doctors informed me that my already weak uterus had suffered further damage,” she explained, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “At the end of the day they ended up informing me that the chances of me ever being able to carry a child were slim, only two out of ten. Which simply meant that I would never be able to get pregnant, much less keep a 

pregnancy.”
