Amber’s POV. 

The Colonel stared at me with a confused look on his face, his brow furrowed in disbelief. “Miss Grey, are you serious right now?” he asked. 

I chuckled lightly, nodding my head. “Yes, Colonel Miller, I am being very serious,” I replied, making sure to maintain eye contact. “I genuinely want your help in screwing over my ex–husband, Kayden Black” 

His expression shifted from confusion to curiosity, leaning in closer as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “And how exactly do you want to screw him over? By getting me to pull BW construction out of the project and handing it to Romero?” he inquired cautiously.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, enjoying the fact that I managed to trigger his curiosity. “Well, Colonel, taking the project away from BW Construction and giving it to 

my 

y own company is just the first phase,” I explained, relishing in the thrill of the plan taking shape. “You see, I know why Kayden is so desperate for this project, and I want to take it away from him to 

hurt him. But that’s just the beginning.” 

Confusion flickered across the Colonel’s face as he processed my words. “And why, according to you, 

is Mr. Black so desperate for this project?” 

A sly smile spread across my l*ps as I leaned back in my chair, savoring the moment. “Sorry to say, Colonel, but Kayden isn’t interested in the 401 project because he actually cares about it,” I declared, relishing the anticipation of revealing my secret knowledge. “No, he wants it because he sees it as a way to meet the Governorship election candidate, Mr. Karl Maxwell.” 

The Colonel’s frown deepened, visibly surprised by my revelation. My heart raced with excitement, knowing that my carefully crafted web of half–truths was beginning to snare him in. I continued, knowing that I had his full attention. 

“Kayden is not only trying to meet Maxwell but also proposing himself as the figurehead of the 401 

project.” I divulged. “He wants to help Maxwell avoid sharing the profits with you, Colonel, by putting himself at the forefront, and getting you removed.” 

As I watched the Colonel’s face turn dark with anger, I knew that my seeds of doubt were taking root

While what I said wasn’t entirely accurate, it had enough elements of truth to make it believable. 

I had overheard Kayden talking to his assistant one day, and although I wasn’t entirely certain of his motives, I felt confident that what I had shared with the Colonel was more than enough to ignite his suspicion. 

Colonel Miller let out an exasperated sigh, his frustration evident as he seemed to struggle with comprehending my confidence. “Let’s be realistic Amber dear, how can you be so sure about all of this?” he asked, his voice laced with skepticism. 

I shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, Colonel, you see, I was married to Kayden for two long years,” I replied, my tone dripping with irritation at the reminder. “We may have only recently divorced, but I know him a lot better than a lot of people. I do. I know every d*rty secret, every trick up his sleeve, and I can tell you for a fact, that he is capable of anything. He’s unscrupulous. 

I watched as Miller’s eyebrows furrowed. “Do you really think I’d approach you so confidently ifl didn’t have absolute certainty that my ex–husband is a greedy and cunning bastard?” I added. 

A chuckle escaped the Colonel’s l*ps. “Well, Amber, I must say, I never thought I’d find myself 

caught in the midst of a scorned ex–wife’s plot for revenge,” he remarked. 

I scoffed lightly. “What else would you expect from a woman whose husband cheated on her with her own 

sister, and had the audacity to marry her?” I replied. “I’d like to think my wish to get revenge is 

very justified.“. 

I noticed a flicker of discomfort cross the Colonel’s face, a sign that my words had caught him off 

guard. I mentally smiled, knowing very well that with each word I said, the Colonel became more and 

more doubtful about Kayden. 

I also knew that another huge reason why he was still seated and listening to me was most likely 

because of the perverted thoughts he had of me in his head, but I couldn’t care less as long as 

thoughts remained in his head, and he tried nothing with me. 

His expression softened, a tinge of sympathy replacing his previous skepticism. “Kayden must be a 

fool to have cheated on a beautiful and intelligent woman like you, Amber,” he remarked. 

I forced a smile in his direction, “Oh, Colonel, believe me, Kayden is a fool in more ways than one,” 

I replied.

With deliberate poise, I locked eyes with Colonel Miller, my gaze unwavering. “I don’t intend to pressure you or manipulate you into helping me, Colonel,” I assured him, my tone sincere. “But I believe you would appreciate the satisfaction of aiding a scorned woman in her quest for revenge. So what do you say? Can I count on you, Sir?” 

I watched Colonel Miller intently as he remained lost in thought, his brows furrowed in 

contemplation. It was evident that my request had caught him off guard, leaving him to mull over the possible outcomes. 

After a moment, he cleared his throat and finally spoke, his voice cautious and measured. 

“And what do I get in return if I decide to help you, Amber?” the Colonel inquired. 

I wasn’t surprised by his question; after all, no one does something for nothing. I took a deep breath, bracing myself for what his response might entail. “Well, Colonel, what is it that you want?” I replied. 

Miller’s l*ps curled into a pervaded smile, his gaze lingering on my figure. “I wouldn’t mind having a gorgeous woman like you in my bed, Amber” 

The boldness of his suggestion made my skin crawl with disgust, but I couldn’t let it show, I forced a chuckle, masking my revulsion. “Colonel, let’s be realistic here,” I retorted sharply. “Surely your can come up with a more respectable request.”  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Disappointment flickered across the Colonel’s face briefly before he composed himself. “Fair enough,” he said. “Then, Amber, what do you have in mind? It’s clear you’ve thought this through.” 

A sly smile crept across my face as I saw an opportunity to not only secure his cooperation but also play to his greed. “How about this, Colonel? Instead of settling for a measly cut from the project, I offer you ten percent of the project’s budget,” I suggested. “That roughly amounts to a hundred million dollars, far exceeding whatever Maxwell could have ever offered you.” 

Miller’s eyes widened in surprise, his skepticism momentarily sl*pping away. “A hundred million. dollars?” he repeated. “And how do you intend to make that happen, Amber?” 

I smirked, fully aware that I had piqued his interest. “All you have to do, Colonel, is make sure the project lands in the hands of Romero Constructions,” I explained confidently. “Once that’s done, you’ll witness firsthand how I intend to turn those plans into a reality.”

Miller chuckled softly, his amusement evident. He extended his hand toward me. With a mixture of caution and pride, I reached out and took his hand, sealing our twisted deal. “Miss Grey, we have a deal,” he declared, and I smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
