Chapter Sixty Eight

Third Person POV

Finally finding a quiet spot away from the crowd, Richard and Killian made sure they weren’t followe by any of the reporters looking to find something negative to write about.

“So, what did you want to talk about, Killian?” Richard asked, his brows furrowing with anticipation.” I can’t stay away from Amber for too long. She’ll start getting nervous since she’s not used to

Killian nodded, understanding Richard’s need to return to hee. “I get it man,” he replied.

attempting to keep his tone light. “Listen, I found out something that might concern you. I happened to overhear Kayden talking to some people, obviously reporters, and he mentioned something about wanting to create trouble for you and Amber tonight, so he asked the reporters to be on the

lookout.”

Richard’s eyes narrowed, not exactly surprised. “What do you mean?” he demanded. “What is that bastard planning now? Did he mention what he had in mind?”

Killian sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “I’m not sure exactly. It seems like he’s trying to

stir up

trouble and mess with Amber especially so he can get a reaction out of her. Maybe he’s hoping to get some sort of reaction from you both, but he didn’t go into specifics, and I couldn’t hear everything he was talking about. I just thought you should know, but I wasn’t sure if I could talk

about it in front of Amber.”

Richard clenched his fist, upset that he’d have to deal with Kayden’s childish antics even on a day

like this. “Thanks for telling me, Killian.”

With an annoyed look on his face. Richard left Killian behind and made his way back towards Amber to make sure she wouldn’t have to deal with Kayden. As he approached, he couldn’t help but notice the uncomfortable expression on her face. And then he saw why-Kayden stood in front of her, a smug gr

etched across his face.

Annoyance surged in Richard, but he managed to keep his composure as he swiftly moved to Amber’s side, his arm snaking protectively around her waist. Instantly, he could see the relief wash over Amber’s face, her b*dy relaxing slightly in his presence. With Kayden still standing in front of

them. Richard’s protective inst

Didnt reale it would be such a big deal

Richard’s eves rolled involuntari, his initation growing. “Don’t you dare try to speak to her like you deserve to Kayden,” he retorted, his voce low and steady. “Instead of walking around like a lonely and sad excuse for a man, maybe you should focus on taking care of your pregnant wife and not bother mine, I doubt you want those reporters you have hanging around to think you’re still h ooked on

your evive”

A scoff escaped Kayden’s l*ps his facade of innocence shattering. “Oh, please, shut up, Romero he sneered. “One would think you two idiots are some kind of a happy couple when you’re nothing but two sad ba st ards, living your lives to get back at me. Don’t get bold,

Amber listened silently as Kayden spewed his audacious words, disbelief and anger simmering in her. At first, she had chosen to remain quiet, knowing that she was already the main target of the reporters who were standing at different angles, waiting for a messy scoop.

However, as Kayden’s arrogance grew more unbearable, she felt compelled to speak up.

“I mean, Kayden,” she interjected, her voice steelier than she had intended. “I know you’re not the smartest person in the room, but surely even you must understand that whatever sick stunt you’re planning would affect you too, right? Why don’t you just have some shame and focus on enjoying the party instead of bothering my husband and me? You’re the old who shouldn’t get bold.”

Kayden scoffed, a wicked chuckle escaping his l*ps. “Oh, Amber, Amber,” he taunted. “Are you sure he’s really your husband? Isn’t he just another man using you for his own selfish reasons? Just like you now know I married you to make up for what I did to your mother, once again, you’re dealing with a man who married you just to spite your ex-husband. You really have the worst luck.”

Amber’s fists clenched at her sides. She tried to gather her composure, reminding herself not to let Kayden’s words get to her. However, Richard’s rage was palpable, his jaw clenched and muscles tensed as he fought the urge to pounce at Kayden.

“How dare you?” Richard seethed. “You don’t deserve to speak to her that way. So watch it before

make you.”

Amber quickly stepped in between the two men, placing a hand on Richard’s chest and shaking her head subtly, urging him to reign in his temper. She knew that fighting would only escalate the situation

further, and she refused to let Kayden get what he wanted.

“Richard,” she whispered, “please, don’t let him get to you. Remember why we’re here. Let’s not give

him the satisfaction of getting what he wants.”

Richard’s rage slowly subsided as he met Amber’s gaze. With a deep breath, he nodded and released a

long exhale. “You’re right,” he admitted, his voice steady. “I won’t let him ruin this night for

us.

Amber stepped closer to Richard, intertwining her fingers with his to calm him down. She would take another look at Kayden before shaking her head at him.

“Until I finally destroy you, Kayden. I hope you keep enjoying your fun-filled life while it lasts. And while you’re at it, don’t come close to us.”
