Next Day – Devis Mansion Hall
The hall was quiet, but the atmosphere was tense. Amber sat in the middle, her posture rigid, eyes flashing with barely contained anger. The children and Jonathan came down the stairs.
Jonathan: "Shall we go?" 😎
He looked at her, trying to gauge her mood.
Amber: 😡 (silent glare, but the tension was clear)
Jonathan: Hmm… no need, I'll go myself.
(Man, sometimes she's calm as ice… other times, she's fire like a volcano.)
He motioned for the others, and they headed out, all sneaking occasional glances at Amber.
Steve: "Do you need anything, sis?" 😊
Amber: "Call Megan." 😡
Steve: "Huh… okay." 😅
Moments later, Megan entered, her expression cautious.
Megan: "What happened, sis?" 😕
Amber: "Megan… by any chance, do you know a guy named Harry?" 😡
Megan: "Isn't he a senior from Natalie's school?" 😱
Amber: "Do you know what he looks like?" 🤬
Megan: "Yeah… I think so. Why?" 😱
Amber's gaze sharpened.
Amber: "Okay. You and Joseph… both of you are coming with me." 😡
Steve: "Wait… but—" 😶
Joseph: (gulps) "How many times—" 😶
Amber: (cuts him off, pointing at Joseph) "I'm talking to you, Joseph. Get ready." 😡
Joseph: 😱
Megan: 😱
The air in the hall felt electrified, as if a storm had arrived.
Amber had learned during Natalie's treatment that Harry had once loved her—but Natalie had rejected him because of Mr. William's interference. That knowledge, combined with her protective instinct, had ignited a burning anger that refused to be ignored.

On the Way – Car
Amber gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes sharp on the road ahead. Joseph sat stiffly beside her, barely breathing. Megan was in the backseat, glancing nervously at Amber.
Joseph: "God… please save us." 😱
Megan: "Honestly… I think a death might happen today." 😱
She peeked over her shoulder at Amber.
Amber didn't say a word. Her jaw was set, her grip on the wheel ironclad. The car's engine purred softly, but the tension inside was deafening.
Amber's eyes burned with fury, a quiet storm promising consequences for anyone foolish enough to cross her path today. 😡
