Amber's Dilemma

Chapter 4

Amber POV

This is definitely not what I have envisioned for myself.

I have never been in a relationship before, I am a f*****g Virgin,

I never thought I would ever consider think idea of a contract marriage till I saw the ad.

I guess my desperation took over me.

No one has ever made me feel so worthless like Liam.

I had to run out to prevent myself from crying. I feel so devastated.

Ray needs the surgery to be done in a few weeks time and I have nothing in my savings account absolutely nothing.

My salary only help to pay the bills : rent , groceries ,home management and Ray's medication.

Aside from all this I have nothing else to save.

How do I come up with the money before the next appointment

Which is in two weeks?

This appointment with the Doctor would determine the exact day for the surgery.

If we don't go to the hospital with the money the Doctor would send us out because we haven't been paying the hospital bills and medication for a month now.

Oh gosh! I hit my head.

Crying won't solve anything I need to think of an alternative or go back to Oliver to try my luck again.

I am chiding myself not to cry again.

I have shed almost all the liquid left in me and all I want is to curl under my bed

And wallow in self pity.

My phone ringing jerks me out of my reverie and a sudden realization of my plans to meet up with my best friend Carly.

Hey babe,I'm on my way to your house, are you back from work?Carly asked .Her chills voices booms into the phone.

"Yeah I just got back from an interview..i mean work".

I haven't told her I went for the interview yet. This would be a good opportunity to tell her about it when she comes.

"Alright I'll be there soon" she hung up.

I dropped the call and sat still reminiscing of my encounter with Liam.

I have never heard of Liam being in a romantic relationship from my research about him.

If he hasn't been in a relationship why was he eager to get married and have a heir within a year?.

My hands shakes rigorously and I stand up abruptly to pack things. I need to see Carly .

I need to tell her what happened in the interview.

I need her advice on what to do.

What ever decision I take I hope it favours me and I won't regret it.
