His response struck a nerve in her, and she could feel the anger bubbling at the mention of Mary's name. “I'm still curious, Dad. Go ahead and explain this complicated story and tellhow it all started. I'm sure it was all just a big mistake, right?” she retorted, her tone laced with sarcasm.

Martin shifted uncomfortably in his seat, hesitating for a moment before continuing. “Yes, Amber, it was a mistake. | know you probably won't believe me, but things with Mary escalated so quickly, and | hardly even remember how it all began. A few weeks after... something happened between us. She car toand toldshe was pregnant. She said | was the father, and | was left with no other choice but to marry her,” he admitted, his voice filled with shand regret.

Amber's eyes rolled involuntarily at his words, a wave of disbelief washing over her. “So, what you're tellingis that you let yourself be seduced by Mary less than two years after Mom passed away? Was it that hard to stay away from Mom's old friend and keep yourself from getting in bed with her?” she questioned, her voice filled with disappointment.

Martin opened his mouth to respond, but Amber held up a hand, cutting him off before he could utter a word. “Save it, Dad. Now that | think about it, | don’t need to hear your explanations.

She leaned back in her seat, crossing her arms over her chest as she fixed her father with a piercing gaze. “Even if I could believe that you agreed to work for the Black family for Mom's sake and to get revenge for her, | know for a fact that you ended up losing your way because of your greed, Dad. No excuses you make can justify what you did too. You handedover to Kayden, knowing he was responsible for Mom's death.

Stop treatinglike I'm stupid. | know what I’m doing now,” she retorted, her eyes flashing with determination. “You're wasting my time. Givewhat | want, or you'll spend the rest of your life in jail for crimes that aren’t even yours,” she added.
