Her words were a poison–tipped arrow, aimed to pierce through Amber’s already shattered heart.

In Richard’s arms, Amber bristled at Marlene’s cruel jabs. “I’m nothing like you, Marlene, and I

would never bring harm to an innocent child, no matter how much hate I have for you. You, on the other hand, are a monster in human form, and you know where monsters belong? In a cage where they’ll

never get out. It’s a blessing that someone like you doesn’t get to bring a child into this world.””

Marlene’s laughter rang out, a chilling sound that echoed through the night like a haunting melody. “Oh, Amber. Don’t delude yourself. At least I still have the chance to be a mother. Unlike you, I am doomed to a life without the joys of motherhood. How tragic for you.”

Richard was shocked to hear Marlene mention that Amber could never be a mother, but he quickly go over his shock, deciding that it wasn’t what mattered at the moment.

Amber’s rage boiled over at Marlene’s words, a surge of emotion threatening to consume her as she made to lunge at her once again. But Richard’s quick intervention stopped her, his voice calming her.

“Amber, don’t listen to her. She’s trying to provoke you. Don’t let her get to you,” he told her softly.

With a deep breath, Amber forced herself to remain still, her trembling hands coming to rest against Richard’s chest as she leaned into him. The wounds Marlene had inflicted on her ran deep, and her blood boiled with a rage that was like nothing she had ever experienced.

Soon enough, the wails of the police siren would call for attention, and Richard would immediately note that the cops had arrived. As the distant wail of police sirens grew louder, Marlene’s expression twisted into that of shock and disbelief as she turned her gaze towards Richard, her eyes burning with a mix of fury and fear. “Did you call the police?” she demanded.

Richard’s response was a cold sneer, his voice cutting through the tense air with razor–sharp precision. “Of course I did. You’ve crossed every line, Mrs. Black. Trespassing, assault, and property damage, as you can see. You’ll answer for your actions at the station.”

He motioned towards the guards, a silent command passing between them as they prepared to hand I over to the approaching police.

With Amber still held securely in his arms, Richard turned away from Marlene, his steps slow and careful as he led her back towards the gate, intent on helping her get home so she could get away This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Marlene’s voice rang out behind them, filled with malice and spite as she hurled threats and curses in Amber’s direction, a final act of defiance before the inevitable that awaited her.

“Amber! You’ll pay for this; mark my words. You’ll suffer like never before by the time I’m done with you! I won’t rest until I make sure you return to dust!” Marlene’s taunts echoed through the night air, a promise of revenge that fell on deaf ears as Amber shot her a disdainful look.

With a smirk playing on her lips, she shot back, “Enjoy your stay in the cell, Marlene. It’s where you belong, although I’m sure your darling husband will get you out soon enough.”

After the police officers took charge of Marlene, the sound of her protests fading into the distance, Richard guided Amber into the waiting car, helping her settle into the passenger seat before taking his place behind the wheel. With a quiet glance in her direction, he started the engine and drove them away from the chaos and turmoil left behind.

The journey back to the safety of their home was a quiet one until the car rolled to a stop in front of their house. Stepping out, Richard carefully assisted Amber, his touch gentle as he guided her toward the familiar comfort of their home.

But as soon as they crossed the threshold and walked inside, a wave of emotions crashed over Amber the facade of strength she had worn crumbling beneath the weight of her pain and sorrow. Her legs gave out beneath her, sending her crashing to the floor. The dam of her emotions broke as tears streamed down her cheeks,

In Richard’s arms, she wept openly, the sound of her sobs echoing through the quiet house as the truth of her loss settled over her. Through her tears, she whispered brokenly, her voice raw with heartache. “What did I do to deserve this, Richard? Why does she hate me so much? How can someone be so cruel? What did I ever do to deserve all this?”

Richard kneeled beside her, his own eyes glistening with pain as he enveloped her in a comforting hug. Wordlessly, he held her close, patting her gently on the back as he allowed her to cry as much

as she needed to.
