BILLIONAIRE HEART THROB - CHAPTER 13&14
✿ PAIN✿
^ LINCOLN MANSION ^
“Here she is” Juliet said as soon as she walk into the house.
Winter, Roland and Juliet were present and the most surprising guest of all was Peter who was also present.
Apart from being a bother to her at work did he also have to be a bother to her at home?
“What’s going on?” Amber asked as she waited for a reply from them.
“You’ve got the nerve to talk when your atrocious act is out in the open” Winter Lincoln said as she walk towards Amber to give her a slap on the face.
“Mom!” Roland called as he pulled Amber to himself.
“Do you intend to defend her after every thing she’s done?” Winter asked glaring at her son.
“What exactly have I done?” Amber asked still feeling the sting of Winter slap.
“Have a look at it yourself you slut!” Juliet spoke as she showed her the laptop which had the video of Peter harassing her.
To everyone the video must look like she’s enjoying Peter’s touch but only Peter and her knew that she was trying to push him off.
Ever since she began working at the restaurant two weeks ago, Peter had kept his distance but just a few days ago. He came onto her while she was changing in the locker room wanting to have s*x with her but she refused which got him using force and luckily for her she manage to escape.
She never would have thought that they would have it recorded and show it to Roland.
“What you are seeing in that video isn’t true. He was harassing me and…”
“Stop with the lies. You wanted it just as much I did and you also made it clear to me that I shouldn’t let the boss know about it but I didn’t know that we will be caught” Peter said as he gave Juliet a knowing look.
“That’s a lie. I never agreed to sleep with you! Why won’t you just tell the truth!” Amber demanded.
“What other truth is there to tell when we have this!” Winter demanded in return.
“But this isn’t true. I don’t know why he’s trying to frame me but I….”
“That’s enough, Amber! I knew you weren’t good for my son but still I chose to give you a chance to prove to me that you are worth his love but you’ve only disappoint me” Winter said.
“I think you’ve said enough mom” Roland stated.
“Enough! I haven’t even started and you shouldn’t dare to support her cause I won’t let….”
“That’s enough! I will talk to her myself!” Roland yelled at her before pulling Amber upstairs and to his room.
As soon as they got to his room, he went to stand in front of the window not saying a word but Amber could tell that he’s angry.
She was about to speak when his question came.
“Since when have you been sleeping with him?”
“Do you really believe that crap? I told you that it’s nothing like that and….”
“How is that nothing? The video says it all” Roland yelled now turning to her.
“It’s implicating but it’s not what you think. That guy have been harassing me”
“If he’s been harassing you why didn’t you say a thing? Is it because you enjoyed every bit of it?”
“You are offending me, Roland. Have told you that it’s not true and aren’t you suppose to believe me?”
“I don’t know if I should cause the Amber that I knew would have told me the truth, she would have made sure I knew about his harassment before things got this deep” Roland blurt out in anger.
“I know it’s my fault for not telling you about it but am saying the truth. Am saying the truth Roland am not lying to you” she said wondering why he isn’t believing her.
“The truth you say? Aren’t you keeping some thing else from me?” He asked and quickly she nodded.
“Apart from the harassment, am not hiding a thing from you” she said and that got him pulling her by her arm.
“Oh really? Then I suppose you will keep hiding the fact that you are pregnant from me right?” He asked which surprised her.
“How did you know that?”
“You’ve been vomiting for a while now and also you’ve been feeling sick and dizzy. Do you think am that daft not to realise that you are having a child?” He said.
“I also just found out about my condition today and I was going to give you the good news when this happened and….”
“Don’t tell me that am the father of that child in you?” He asked interrupting her.
“Who else will be if it isn’t you” Amber said in return.
“I knew you were going to do this! I knew you were going to claim the baby to be mine. I thought so high of you Amber but you’ve disappoint me” he stated which got her wondering why he thinks that the child isn’t his.
“But the child is yours, you are the only one have slept with and ….”
“Enough with your lies you slut!” Immediately she heard him say that she kept shut starring at him with new eyes. Never has she seen this side of Roland.
“How can I have father that child when am…am….I should have listen to my mom. You were only after my money, you never love me like I did you” he stated.
“I do love you and am not lying Roland. This child is yours ” she said with conviction but the look on his face told her that he already believed the worse about her.
“Have heard enough of your lies and I suggest you go and tell the father of your child about it cause I won’t be a replacement to the bastard in you” he said as he walk past her and quickly Amber held him from behind.
“You can’t mean this Roland. The child is yours, I love you so much. How can I ever cheat on you?” She said as she began to cry and slowly he pulled her hand away from him.
“I want nothing more to do with you, Amber” he said before leaving the room.
Amber crouch on the floor crying her eyes out.
How could he call their child some one else? Why is he suddenly acting this way? Where did every thing go wrong? She thought as she kept crying.
For the next few days her attempt to see Roland was impossible since Winter wouldn’t let it and Roland himself made it clear that he want nothing to do with her.
And on the day that it got clear to Amber that there was no more hope for her was the day she arrived from school only to be told that Roland has gone to Australia.
That day Amber had broke down in tears and no matter how her mother tried to console her, it didn’t work.
Few days after Roland’s departure, Winter told them to leave her house and since no one in the house is willing to support them, they did as they said.
They had their things all packed in the car and was heading out when they saw Winter waiting for them.
“So it’s good bye once and for all” Winter mock as she stared at the both of them.
“This is all your doing right?”Brittany asked which got her nodding.
“Just as I did in the past I also succeeded in getting rid of your daughter” Whitney said.
“But it’s your son happiness that you ruined!” Amber yelled In anger.
“Happiness? His happiness lies some where else and you aren’t a part of it” Winter told her cruelly.
“Not even when she’s pregnant with your grandchild?” Brittany asked which got her letting out a sneer.
“That thing in her isn’t my son’s child and so it’s best you take your bastard and leave cause if I see you two again, I swear I will make you regret it” Winter thr_@tened before heading back to the house while Amber and her mother left.
It was a hard time for them both but they did their best to survive.
While her mother did all sort of job, Amber also tried to get a part time job but due to her pregnancy she wasn’t given a chance.
There were times she wanted to give the baby up but she couldn’t and instead chose to stay strong and give birth to the child Roland had abandoned.
The day she gave birth to her son was also the same day she lost her mom due to a car accident.

^ PRESENT TIME ~ END OF FLASHBACK^
“Is that all?” Sarah voice drifted to Amber who was deep in thought.
“It is. After mom’s death, I came here and started a life for myself and then I met nice people like you, Marcos, Darren and….why are you crying?” Amber asked which got Sarah crying harder.
“You really suffered in the past ” Sarah blurted and that got Amber laughing before pulling her to a hug.
A while later Sarah was lying on Amber lap when they heard the door bell.
“Don’t worry, I will get it. Go wash your face” Amber said to Sarah before going to the door.
“Why are you here?” Amber asked as soon as she saw the guest.
“So this is where you live” Roland said as he walk into their little apartment.
“I ask you why you are here cause if you have nothing to do then it’s best you get out!” Amber said but he ignore her.
“You’ve really change. The docile Rosie grew up to be a tough Amber. You must have really had a rough time, didn’t Peter give you enough money to take care of yourself?” Roland asked starring at her with anger.
“Why don’t you just ask Peter yourself” she replied wanting him to leave.
“But I am asking you. Did it give you some sort of thrill to know that I had fallen for you again?” He asked as he held onto her arm but she pushed him off.
“I never asked you to and if I could change back time then I will wish that I’d never met a $cvmbag like you” She said in anger and at that moment Sarah came out to join them.
“What’s going on? Who are you and why are you being a bother? ” Sarah yelled at him.
“Why don’t little Rosie tell you who I am” Roland replied.
“Just go away Roland. You know who I am now and you h@?? me as much as I h@?? you, so just leave!” Amber yelled at him but Roland didn’t intend to leave.
“I will leave right after you tell me if you had that bastard you claimed to be…” He didn’t get to complete his word because Amber slapped him.
“You are being mean to Amber” Sarah let out in defence of her friend.
“I just want to know. Is it a crime to want to know if you had the child you once claimed to be mine? I don’t want history to repeat itself and that’s why am taking precaution ” he stated.
“You don’t need to know. You don’t have a right to know anything about my life, so get out!” Amber yelled as tears filled her eyes.
“I suggest you leave now or I will call the police” Sarah thr_@ten which got Roland moving.
“Fine then. I will leave and I hope we never have to see other cause I sincerely don’t want to see you again”
“I feel the same way Roland. I also don’t want to see you again!” Amber added and with that last words said to each other, she shut the door on his face.
“Did you hear that Sarah, he called my son a bastard ” Amber let out softly as she began to cry again while Sarah gave her a hug.

^ NEXT DAY ~ LINCOLN ENTERPRISE ^
“You look a bit down. Are you perhaps sick?” James asked as he gave Roland a bottle of water.
“I just had a bad night”
“Really? Then do you want me to proceed with buying Mrs Amber the bouquet they asked for and….”
“From now on don’t mention a thing about her” Roland said just as the door open revealing his harassed secretary and Sarah.
“Am sorry sir but she insist on seeing you” The secretary said.
“How dare you make a fuss in someone’s company. If you need to speak to me then I suggest book an appoin….”
“You really are a $cvmbag just like Amber said ” Sarah voiced out as she approach his desk.
“What I came to say wouldn’t cost you a minute and so listen up you jerk! Amber is a good person and she doesn’t deserve what you are doing to her and neither does Liam” Sarah stated.
“And who the hell is Liam?”
“Your child in whom you refered to as a bastard. Here’s Liam toothbrush, go get a DNA test with it and see just how wrong you think of Amber and your child ” Sarah said as she set a blue brush on his desk.
“Get the DNA and eat back your words you big oaf!” Sarah said before storming out of his office.
“What is she saying sir? Did you have a….”
“Take this brush with you to the hospital and make sure everyone in the lab focus on it cause I want the results by the end of today!” Roland ordered which got James leaving to do his bidding.
