I stood there, basking in the satisfaction of seeing Alison being escorted out of her clinic, handcuffed, and surrounded by police officers. It was exactly as I had requested, with every detail carefully planned to ensure that she felt the full weight of humiliation and defeat. This was my victory, my moment of triumph.

As Alison was pushed into the police car, our eyes met. Her expression was a mix of anger and fear, and I could immediately tell that she was on the verge of tears. But I couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction, relishing in the knowledge that I had finally given her a taste of pain and

humiliation.

I mouthed the words, “I warned you,” silently, punctuating my triumph. She gritted her teeth, helpless and defeated, unable to do anything to stop the consequences of her actions: a few years in jail and the loss of her medical license.

The police officers gave a curt nod in my direction, acknowledging the successful culmination of my plan. With Alison now in custody. I felt a sense of relief wash over me. She had chosen to be on the wrong side, and now she’ll pay dearly for it.

As the police car drove away, I turned to face Richard, who wore an amused expression. The corners of my mouth curled into a wide smile, a mix of excitement and pride. I couldn’t wait to hear him tell me how proud he was that I did everything on my own without asking for his help.

“Did I do a good job?” I asked. I recognized the childishness in my tone, but I couldn’t resist seeking validation from the person closest to me.

Richard chuckled, his eyes sparkling with something that could be mistaken for affection, but I knew better. With a gentle pat on my hair, he commended me for getting what I wanted. “You did a great job, Amber. I’m proud of you.”

His words warmed my heart, reinforcing the fact that this was not just my victory, but ours. At the end of the day, I couldn’t have done it without him.

In a moment of exhilaration and impulsiveness, I wrapped my arms around Richard’s waist, pulling hin into a tight hug. He seemed momentarily startled, unsure of how to react. After all, physical

affection was not something we indulged in at all. In fact, I just broke another rule in our

contract, which was starting to become a little too frequent on my end.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” he asked.

I scoffed playfully, shaking my head. “Of course, I know what I’m doing. I’m hugging you, silly.” The corners of my lips curled into a mischievous smirk.

Richard’s worry faded into a small smile, unable to resist my playful antics. He asked if I expected him to hug me back, his voice filled with curiosity and a touch of amusement.

I nodded eagerly, my eyes shining with excitement. “Yes, I do! Come on, Richard, I deserve a hug on such a good day. It’s been too long since I got one.” I teased, adding a hint of mock seriousness as I painstakingly pulled myself away from him. “Don’t you want to? Are you afraid of hugging me?”

Richard’s chuckle filled the air as he rolled his eyes playfully at my request. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer as I smiled happily, feeling a strange sense of warmth and comfort from being in his arms. This was a moment of pure bliss, and it felt so much like a respite from the chaos and darkness that had consumed my life for far too long.

We held each other for what felt like forever before Richard finally pulled away, his eyes locked with mine. His voice, sounding like music to my ears, broke the silence. “So, what do you want to do

now. Amber?”

I pondered his question for a moment, my mind buzzing with possibilities. “Well,” I began, “how about you just skip work for today and spend some time with me?”

A smirk tugged at the corner of Richard’s lips, matching the mischievousness in my gaze. “I wasn’t planning on going to work at all, Amber,” he replied. “I figure people might find it strange if I’m busy working instead of enjoying the honeymoon phase with my wife. So, it’ll take a few more days.

A surge of excitement bubbled in me as I nodded eagerly. “That sounds like a perfect plan, then,” I responded. “Now for starters, let’s go have brunch together.”

Richard nodded, his agreement swift, and we made our way to the car. We drove through the bustling streets, with anticipation coursing through my veins. We arrived at a charming brunch cafe a few

minutes later.

As we settled into our seats and our order was placed, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of satisfaction as I looked at Richard.

Amidst sipping our coffees and indulging in the delicious food, a thought abruptly crossed my mind. I leaned forward, my eyes searching Richard’s face, before I mustered the courage to ask, “Richard, are we still going on our honeymoon as planned?”

Richard’s brows furrowed in confusion. “You didn’t mention anything about it, so I assumed you didn’t want to go,” he admitted. “But if you want to go, I’m all for it. Just say the word.”

I shrugged, a mix of uncertainty and determination in my response. “Well, even if our marriage isn’t real, I still think we should go on a few days‘ trip,” I said, my voice steady.

“So, is there somewhere you have in mind? Someplace you’d like to visit?” he asked.

I watched as Richard sipped his coffee, his eyes fixed on me with a calm gaze.

Absently, I pushed aside my coffee cup and leaned back in my seat, a pensive expression on my face. Richard’s question lingered in the air as I thought of an answer.

And then it struck me–a surge of curiosity and longing blooming in my chest. I leaned forward, my hands clasped together on the table, and met Richard’s gaze. “You know, Richard, there is a place

I’ve always wanted to know more about,” I said.

Richard furrowed his brows in confusion, a trace of curiosity mingling with his confusion. “Really?”

he asked. “Where is this place?”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at his bewildered expression. “Italy,” I replied, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. “I’d love to visit the country where you grew up before coming to the States.”

“Wait, are you being serious?” he asked.

I chuckled at his reaction, realizing how unexpected my request must have been. “Absolutely,

Richard,” I said. “I’m suddenly curious about you, and what better way to satisfy my curiosity than

to visit where you grew up?”
