Chapter 1 Unwelcome Eyes
Amber stared at her computer screen, the numbers on the spreadsheet blurring together. She couldn't focus. It had been one of those mornings, where every little thing grated on her nerves. But when her boss's voice crackled over the intercom, a new wave of anxiety rippled through her.
"Amber, can you step into my office for a minute?"
She swallowed, quickly smoothing down her blouse and making her way down the hallway. David's office door was ajar, his expression serious as he gestured for her to close it behind her.
"What's going on?" she asked, forcing a lightness she didn't feel.
"Amber... I just got a call from Mr. Nelson." David's voice was careful, his eyes avoiding hers. "He said he saw a car parked at your place today. A black sedan, unfamiliar. It was there for hours."
Her breath caught. Today? But she had been at work all morning. What car was he talking about?
"Mr. Nelson?" she echoed, her mind racing. "Why is he even paying attention to my place?"
David sighed, leaning forward on his desk. "You know how he is-always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. But he said it's not the first time he's noticed it. Last week, and the week before that. Each time when Sam wasn't home."
Amber's heart thudded in her chest. "Sam hasn't been working lately, David. He's been... taking some time off." She swallowed, but her mouth felt dry. "If Mr. Nelson's so interested, why didn't he just come over and ask?"
David gave a rueful smile. "Because he's not interested in talking, Amber. He's interested in stirring up trouble."
Her hands fisted at her sides. Sam had insisted on staying home the past few weeks, claiming he needed a break. That he wanted to support her more while she was busy at the office. But lately, she'd been the one working late hours-coming home to find him still lounging around in his sweats, watching TV or scrolling aimlessly through his phone.
"Did Mr. Nelson say... did he see Sam at all?" Amber's voice was a whisper now.
David shook his head. "No. That's why he called me. He said it looked like the car was there with no one around... like someone was waiting. He didn't want to overstep, but he thought you should know."
Amber forced herself to nod. "I appreciate it, but I'm sure it's nothing. Probably a friend or a delivery."
"Amber..." David's gaze softened, but there was something searching in his eyes. "Jacob's not perfect, but he's family. If you ever need help-"
"David, really." She cut him off, her smile too tight, too forced. "It's nothing."
But as she left his office, her mind spun. Sam had been at home all day, or so he'd told her. But if Mr. Nelson was right... if there was
a car parked at their place all morning, and Sam wasn't around-She shook her head. No, it couldn't be.
Yet, a nagging suspicion settled in her chest, making it hard to breathe.
What was Sam hiding from her? And who was in that car?
She needed answers-fast. Before Jacob's rumors turned into something much worse. Before they turned into the truth.
