Standing in front of the mirror in the large dressing room, | stared at my reflection in my wedding
dress.
The gown was exquisite, and | couldn’t deny that | looked absolutely beautiful. From the intricate
lace detailing to the way the fabric felt on my skin, everything was perfect.
But despite the outward perfection, a wave of misery washed over me, tainting the joy that should
have accompanied this day.
Today was finally the day | would marry into a powerful family like the Romero family, and becAmber
Romero, instead of Amber Grey. It was the day that marked the beginning of my plans for revenge, but instead of
excitement, | felt a mix of anger and misery.
How had | ended up here? How had Kayden and Marlene managed to turninto a person who was getting
married again for revenge?
The bitterness settled in my stomach as | recalled my first wedding, a day that had been filled with love and
happiness that had now bectainted by betrayal and deceit. The realization that the love had been one-sided
made my blood boil, and it madefeel stupid all over again.
Pushing thoughts of Kayden aside, | reminded myself of the mission at hand. The only thing that still connected
me.
And Richard, my soon-to-be fake husband, was the means to that end. He was about to be my steppi stone, and
I, his weapon.
Outside the dressing room, | could already hear the muffled voices of the guests as they chatted and laughed.
Richard had assuredthat it would be a small affair, but | knew better than to believe that. Richard was a man
of influence, and I did not doubt that whether he liked it or not, the idea of
having a quiet wedding would be a burst.

Taking a deep breath, | steadied my breathing and steeled myself for what lay ahead. | was going to walk down
the aisle alone, a sign of my independence and disconnection from my own family.
Having disowned them, | saw no need to have anyone accompanyor giveaway. It would be a silent
reminder that no one had any control overand a reminder that | was in charge of my own destiny.
As | waited in the dressing room, the minutes ticking away, | couldn’t help but feel a mixture of nervousness and
anticipation.
The music was about to start, signaling my cue to make my entrance in the stunning wedding dress that
had been meticulously chosen. | fidgeted with my bouquet, trying to distract myself from the jumble
of emotions swirling in me.
Just as | was beginning to lose myself in my thoughts, a knock on the door startled me. Assuming it
was the makeup artist yet again, wanting to touch up my makeup for what felt like the umpteenth time,
I called out, “Cin!”
To my surprise, the door swung open, and Naomi, my hired maid of honor, walked in. | blinked in
astonishment, momentarily unable to process her presence. Composing myself, | mustered a smile.
“Naomi, what are you doing here?” | asked.
Naomi bowed curtly, her eyes reflecting a mixture of professionalism and concern. “Hi, Amber, | just
wanted to check in on you. Are you okay?” she asked, her tone laced with sincerity.
| raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the genuine worry in her voice. “I'm fine, Naomi,” | reassured
her, attempting to appear more composed than | felt. “Just a few pre-wedding jitters, you know?”
Naomi nodded understandingly. “Of course, | understand. Weddings can be nerve-wracking,” she replied
her voice empathetic. “I wanted to make sure you were doing well and also fulfill my duty to pretend to be your
longtfriend.”
Her words hung in the air, and | couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude. Though | knew without a
doubt that Naomi was an actress, hired to play the role of a friend I didn’t truly have, her concern
felt genuine. It was a kind gesture amidst the sea of pretense surrounding my make-believe
relationship with Richard.
A smile broke across my face, and | found myself sincerely thanking her. “Thank you, Naomi. |
appreciate all the effort you're putting into portraying my long-lost friend. It's very believable.”

Naomi returned my smile. “It’s my pleasure, Amber. | want to make this day special for you, just like
any friend would.” Her words resonated in me, and for the first tin a long time, | wondered if
this charade this fabrication of friendship could somehow evolve into something more authentic.
Just as | opened my mouth to say something more to Naomi, the wedding song began to play, and my
nervousness resurfaced with quickness.
| immediately dismissed Naomi, and a smile on her face as she reassuredthat | looked beautiful,
before she hurriedly made her exit from the room.
Alone again, | stared at myself in the mirror, my hands clutching the bouquet tightly. The reflection

that stared back atseemed like a stranger-an imposter about to step into an elaborate
masquerade.
Taking a deep breath, | muttered to myself, “You're making the right decision. There's no reason to be scared of
anyone.” The words provided a small measure of reassurance.
| had to believe that | was doing the right thing, even if the path ahead was clouded with deception and pain.
With my heart pounding, | stepped out of the dressing room and into the corridor. The sight that greetedwas
nothing short of overwhelming.
The grand hall was packed with faces | didn’t recognize, strangers who had been invited to witness

this elaborate charade. Even the few familiar faces | managed to spot were people | would have never imagined
attending my wedding.
Through the crowd, my eyes found Richard standing at the end of the long aisle. There was a calmness in his
demeanor, and my breath hitched in my throat as | took in his appearance.
He looked impeccable from head to toe, every detail perfectly in place. Despite the facade of our contract
relationship, | couldn’t help but acknowledge that Richard was undeniably a beautiful man. And in just a few
short minutes, that beautiful man would be my husband.
