Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Thinking that she actually slept with this disgusting man and had sex with him, Amber felt extremely ashamed. She desperately pushed him away with her hands and kept cursing while struggling.
However, how could it be possible for her to push Rodney away with that little amount of strength? He hugged her even tighter. Amber could feel the changes of his body. The hardness was actually pressing against her thigh.
In a mix of shame and anger, tears rolled down Amber’s cheeks uncontrollably. Rodney saw the tears at the corners of her eyes and subconsciously loosen his grip. The person he had been longing for day and night was right here in his arms, but he could only fantasise and do nothing. It could be imagined how torturing this was for Rodney.
It was not that he did not want her, but he was afraid that she would hate him even more. He tried all he could to suppress his lust and only hugged her tightly like this all night.
His loosen grip granted Amber the opportunity to slap him hard in the face. The slapping sound was very clear. Rodney’s face immediately had a clear hand print on it. He was stunned and glared at Amber. “You hit me? You actually dared to hit me?”
“Yeah? So, what?” Amber glared at him fiercely. “You f*cking b*stard! I’m not just slapping you, I’m calling the police to arrest you!”
“Do you have a screw loose?” A hint of anger appeared on Rodney’s handsome face.
How could this woman be so ungrateful? If he hadn’t arrived on time last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“I’m not crazy. You’re the one who’s crazy!” Amber pushed him hard. Caught off guard, Rodney was pushed off the bed. It was only when he rolled off the bed did Amber realised that he was naked. That
part was so erected.
“You rogue! Get lost!” Amber’s face reddened.
Rodney got up from the ground and stared at her without covering his nakedness. “You seem to be mistaken. This is my house. It’s you who can get lost.”
Amber glared at Rodney. “Why am I here? Did you scheme something to get me here?”
Annoyance appeared in Rodney’s beautiful eyes. “I schemed to bring you here? Amber Stone, do you really not remember? I don’t believe you don’t remember what happened last night at all.”
Amber suddenly shut up. The ugly faces of those men last night were still vivid in her mind. She couldn’t connect them with Rodney.
“Have you recalled anything?” Rodney raised his eyebrows slightly. There was not the slightest emotion in his dark eyes.
“I….” Amber’s eyes expressed horror as she quickly recalled what had happened last night. She remembered that she ran out of that house and was knocked unconscious in the alley. How did she appeared beside Rodney?
“If you can’t remember, I’ll tell you. Your so-called sweetheart is a go-between who specialises in creating AV. You were sold by him and I was the one who saved you!”
“How did you know?”
“How did I know?” Rodney’s face turned gloomy. On that day at the recording scene, when he saw Casen and Amber falling down during the game, he immediately sensed that something was not right. The reaction of any normal person under that circumstance would be to care for themselves, unless
they were a couple who were madly in love with each other, only then they would think of each other first.
Casen and Amber had never known each other. He also said that he did not believe in love at first sight. Since that was the case, why would he have such great feelings for Amber?
The only possibility was that he was pretending. The act of falling down was only to gain Amber’s sympathy and to increase the chance of Amber choosing him.
Hence, he asked Deon to investigate about it. Casen Slater hid his real identity really well. His real name was Ben Wilson. Casen Slater was just a fake identity. It took quite some time to find out his true identity. When Deon sent Casen Slater’s real information to Rodney, he immediately drove to look for Amber. In the end, Amber and Casen actually disappeared together.
Rodney had tracked Casen’s cell phone and immediately found his location. Casen Slater actually took Amber out of the city. Rodney informed the police and followed them all the way there. They found Casen’s car in an old residential area. The police officers searched up and down. They rushed over when they heard Amber’s scream for help.
In the end, they managed to rescue Amber and caught four people on the spot. However, the chief criminal, Casen Slater, had disappeared. The police was arranging an arrest in the whole city. Rodney then took Amber back to his own residence.
“Why did he want to do that to me?” Amber didn’t understand why this Casen Slater wanted to target her. Did he join the blind date show just for her shoot an AV? Why did she feel that things were not so simple?
Rodney sneered. “Fame comes at a price. Do you not know that your current worth is already very high?”
Amber glared at him angrily and actually forgot that she was naked. She lifted the blanket and wanted to get up. When she saw Rodney’s astonished gaze, she quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself in it. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Rodney’s originally gloomy face turned into a smirk because of her actions. “Is it necessary? Is there any part of you that I haven’t seen before?”
Amber blushed. “B*stard!”
He straightened his face and said, “Your clothes were soaking wet, so I took them off for you. I don’t have any women’s clothing here. So, you wait for a moment, I’ve ordered someone to deliver some clothes here,” upon saying that, he put on his pajamas and left the room.
Watching as his figure disappeared, Amber slumped against the bed. Her head was aching a lot. Her mind was in a mess. Why did he have to witness her in all her most miserable state?
She had been forcing herself to look strong in front of Rodney just now. Actually, she was horrified in her heart. If something really happened last night, would she still be able to live?
If she died, what about Mel?
After an unknown period of time, she heard the doorbell ringing. After a while, Rodney appeared at the door with a bag. He threw the bag onto the bed and said, “Your clothes.”
Then, he turned around and left. Amber took a glance at the clothes on the bed. The striking logo startled her.
In the past, she only wore the clothes from this brand because Rodney liked it. Now, Celia was also wearing the clothes of this brand. She felt a little humiliated in her heart, but there was no other choice. She could not go out naked.
Her hands were weak. Not only was her head aching, but she also felt very dizzy. It took Amber a long time to put on the clothes. She felt that her whole body was as hot as a stove. Her mouth was very dry and her throat was burning. She must have caught a fever after getting wet in the rain last night.
She was very clear that she needed to see a doctor at this time. Her clothes, purse and mobile phone were all not with her. At this moment, she could only rely on Rodney.
Amber didn’t want to have anything to do with Rodney anymore. He had once said that she was no longer anyone to him. She was also clear about that. She could not trouble him anymore. She must rely on herself.
She struggled to open the bedroom door. Rodney, who was sitting on the sofa, turned to look at her when he heard the noise.
He had bought the clothes according to her size, but why was the clothes obviously loose fitting on her? This woman was indeed much thinner. He was very sad in his heart, but his voice was cold. “I have ordered breakfast, and it will arrive soon.”
“Thank you, Mr. Barron.” Amber tried her best to speak like a normal person, “Mr. Barron, could you please lend me your phone?”
Her tone of speaking in a business-like manner hurts his heart. He remained silent as he handed the phone to her.
Amber dialed Noemi’s number with trembling hands. “Noemi, please come and pick me up.”
Remembering that she didn’t know the location, so she looked towards Rodney and asked, “May I know where is this place?”
Rodney stared at her for a few seconds, then indifferently stated a name. Amber repeated it again and hung up the phone.
She handed the phone to Rodney and thanked him. He snorted and said, “Why are you standing there? Do you need me to invite you to sit down?”
Amber didn’t want to stay in front of this man for another minute, especially after experiencing such an incident. She had lost face, but she still wanted to try her best to maintain her self-esteem.
“Thank you for last night. I should go.” Then she turned around to leave.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Rodney’s beautiful eyes. She was still as strong-willed as ever, refusing to admit defeat. Would she die if she was weak for a moment? He asked, “Are you leaving just like this?”
Amber looked back. “I will return you the clothings.”
Looking at her indifferent expression, Rodney’s heart was fuming. After such a serious incident, she was actually acting like it was not a big deal. How could she act like it didn’t matter? Did she know what she would have to experience if he arrived a little later? Anger was burning in his heart. “What’s the use of returning me the clothes that you’ve worn? Just throw them away!”
Amber was exasperated by his reply of “Just throw them away!” that she almost choked. Her head was extremely dizzy and painful, and her eyes were dim. She had no strength to argue with Rodney. Amber staggered to the door, pulled the door open, and went out.
She felt that she was at the end of her rope, but she had a strong determination in her heart. When Noemi received the call, she would definitely come to pick her up immediately. She just needed to hang on until Noemi arrives.
Amber slowly walked towards the elevator while holding onto the wall. It was only a very short distance, only needing a few steps to get there usually, but she felt that it was so far away. Her feet were extremely heavy. Every step required a lot of strength. It took her a lot of effort to finally reach the lift area. She stretched out her hand to press the button, but her body fell down uncontrollably.
Looking at Amber’s determined figure, Rodney let out a dejected sigh. He hit his head in annoyance. He knew that she was very stubborn, but he just couldn’t forget to insult her.
Whenever he remembered that she didn’t even bothered to explain to him, and that she had silently vanished for three years, he would feel that she was unforgivable and couldn’t control his mouth.
Listening to her fading footsteps, he could not stay in the house any longer, so he got up and chased after her. From a distance, he could see a person lying on the ground in front of the lift area. Rodney’s eyes widened. He rushed to Amber and ran, carrying her in his arms.
Amber had been greatly frightened. She was drenched in the rain and her high fever was not cooling down. Looking at her reddened face due to the fever, he felt an incomparable heartache. It was all his fault, he was greedy for her presence. Otherwise, he should have sent her to the hospital last night.
Noemi hurriedly drove over to the address as Amber had told her. She couldn’t find Amber anywhere, so she had to call the number that Amber had just called her with. When she heard that it was Rodney’s voice, she was stunned for a moment. She thought that she had made a wrong call. Rodney told her that Amber was having a fever and he was sending her to the hospital. After hanging up the phone, Noemi rushed straight to the hospital.
