Chapter 47 Amber Pale And Fragile

• At the bar with his friend Philip Lauder, Stefan enjoys his drinks. This was strange for Philip as Stefan hasn't invited him to the bar after getting married to Amber because he works his butt off, running his empire.
• The dimly lit atmosphere of the bar offered little solace as he drowned his sorrows in alcohol, the burn of each sip failing to dull the ache in his chest.
• Philip smirked knowingly at Stefan, ever the sociable companion, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "It looks like you're drowning your sorrows tonight, Stefan," he remarked, gesturing to the empty glasses before Stefan.
