“Is there sull no news about Callisto Ambe
Amber asked her mother,
It had been almost three weeks without any updates on her li
Hance since he escaped from the hospital. They had no idea where he had gone. Amber’s face was flushed with frustration, and her blood was boiling because Liam wasn’t answering her texts or call.
Liam knew the location and address of Lorrame’s current revalence, and surely, Callisto would have gone there to find it. But Liam hadn’t given Amber any information when she needed it most, leaving her chueless about where to look for Callisto.
Amber couldn’t stay calm. Her mind was restless, and she hadn’t been able to sleep for days. She feared her worst nightmare might come true.
“Amber, panicking won’t help. It’s better to calm down and let the investigators do their job in finding Callisto, her mother, Amanda, tried ber, unable to hear watching her pacing back and forth in the living room of their mansion.

“How am I supposed to calm down, Mom!” Amber shouted in frustration. “Someone is deliberately trying to crase Callisto’s trace! The investigators wouldn’t be having such a hard time if he wasn’t hiding from us! I’m sure Gideon is behind this! That jerk is going against us! Just when I thought we had his loyalty, but he’s still following Callisto! We should have fired him a long time ago! And now this great Liam is missing too! What?! Is he gone as well

“Liam is on a business trip, which is why he’s not responding right now. Didn’t he tell you! He has something more important to attend so than Callisto.”
That didn’t make Amber feel any better. Her frustration grew, and even her daughter, Anjie, was scared of her.
Anjie was watching from the second floor, hugging her favorite teddy bear that her father had given her.
even pushed
All this confusion was affecting Anjie. Her mother wasn’t paying attention to her, always angry and in a foul mood. Sometimes. Amber ev her aside, causing her to hit her head on the wall. She cried all day, but only her nanny comforted her.
She couldn’t understand why there was always chans in their mansion since her f being kind and gentle, but now he looked at her with disdain.
father woke up
from the hospital. She remembered her father
According to her nanny, all this was happening because of her aunt Lorraine. She was to blame for her parents fights and her father’s disappearance. She was the reason her mother ignored her and why she was always alone in her room. Even her grandmother neglected her, unlike before.
“Anjie, what are you doing here?”
“Oh Anjie was startled and turned around to see her grandfather. She was very close to him, and he was now the second person, after her nanny. who took care of her “Grandpa
He smiled at her and patted her head. “It’s not good for you to watch them going crazy. Why don’t you go down to the garden and play with your friender
Angie’s face lit up. “My friends? They’re heren.
Her grandpa chuckled. “I brought them here to play with you. They’re waiting for you now. Why don’t you go join them!”
di wow! She couldn’t lude her excitement. “I was dying of boredom, and you saved met You’re the best, grandpa! I’m going downstairs now!”
“Alright Henry turned to the nanny standing by “Go and accompany Anjae to the garden”
nanny followed, grudly taking Anjie’s hand and carefully leading her down the stairs. They quietly exited through the back of the bouse without disturbing Amber, heading to the garden..

was out of sight, Henry descended the stairs and approached Amber. He immediately captured her attention.
Amber, with wide eyes, desperately approached him. “Dad? You have to tell me where Lorraine is! I know you know where she is! Liam.told me he ran into her at a dedel and followed her location! Please! Tell me where she is before she meets Callistof
He froword. “And then what. Amber?” He stared at her strictly. “Are you going to disturb your sister’s life again because of a man? Lorraine is living quietly now. And it’s not like you can do anything about Callisto’s amnesia. It’s uncertain if his memory will ever return. You had him for several months, but what happened? He just went mad and kept talking alisus Lorrainer
“What the heck, Dad?” Amber couldn’t believe what she was hearing from her own father. “Callisto is my fance!! What do you think will happen if
he meets Lorraine?! Dad, Lorraine will take the man I love away from me.
“Are you sure you were the our who was wronged?” Henry’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. “Look, you have no idea how guilty I felt for your deception

Towards Lorraine. I tolerated it because I pitied you. You made me believe you were the victim, but I was a fool! You and your mother have gone too far! Don’t you feel any remorse for Lorraine, huh! The problems you caused her before were enough, so don’t you dare add to her suffering. do you understand?”
But Callisto
“Another thing, Amber,” Henry said with sharp eyes. “You are not like Lorraine. What makes you think she will accept an asshole like her ex- husband after he ruined her!”
Amber’s mouth shut tight. She couldn’t believe her father’s words. Her eyes reddened, and tears welled up. “You still favor Lorraine over me after all. Of course, she’s always been your favorite! D–Dad, why do you always care about her feelings more than mine? I’m the one hurting now! I’m the one losing out again because of that woman!”
“This wouldn’t have happened in the first place if you hadn’t destroyed Lorraine and Callisto’s relationship. You deliberately slept with him and got yourself pregnant! What do you think is the reason you’re facing karma now, huh?!” Henry angrily retorted. He used to value his daughters feelings to the point of tolerating their mistakes. But he couldn’t baby them any longer as their problems grew more serious. This was a major mess, and he needed to wake her up to reality,
“Henry!” Amanda snapped, glaring at him. “Amber’s already stressed, so stop piling it on! What happened back then wasn’t her fault. It was just between her and Callisto, Amber wouldn’t do what you’re accusing her of! Don’t make it seem like she seduced Callistol Didn’t she hide her pregnancy because she didn’t want to ruin their relationship! It’s not her fault Callisto fell in love with her and divorced Lorraine! Have you forgotten all that. Henry, just to side with Lorraine now?”
Henry exhaled sharply, unfazed. “I’m not taking sides. But you, Amanda, always think Amber is right! You forget that Lorraine is your eldest daughter! I’m telling you now, if you and Callisto mess with Lorraine’s life again, you’ll be up against me. Lorraine is also my daughter, and I will protect her
The room fell into a dead silence. Amanda’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes growing even redder. Her chest heaved as she glared fiercely at Henry
Henry sneered. The reason for Liam’s absence lingered like a dark cloud. Henry had punished him severely, that much was known. The adoptive son had dared to investigate him and uncover Lorraine’s whereabouts. Henry may have been silent, but as the head of the family, he wielded the right to control or limit his family’s actions, especially those he deemed foolish.
