016.Axel walked into his room and grabbed a towel which he used to dry his hair. He shut his eyes tight, remembering what almost happened between him and Amber a few minutes ago.He groaned, the intensity eating him whole. He didn’t mean to lose control, just that he couldn’t help it anymore. The tension between them was obvious to even a blind man, and he had tried holding on to the last thread of self-control he had while they were swimming, but it snapped the moment they sat at the edge of the pool with their legs in the water.The way the water stuck to her face, the way her swimsuit clung to her curves, and the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed had been too much for him. He couldn’t help but stare, his desire for her overwhelming.Amber was hot — too hot if you asked him. He was drawn to her both emotionally and physically. She was his distraction, his cute little kitten, and it was getting even harder to control himself around her. If that call hadn’t come in, nothing woul
017.Amber stood rooted on the spot, her shocked gaze fixed on Candice, who had a mischievous smile on her face. Amber knew she wouldn’t get picked — not when Candice was the team captain.She had two options — she could chicken out and act like this ever happened, or she could face it head on and just do her routine, giving no fuck about Candice.Amber smirked. She wasn’t one to back down and cower in fear. Option one was not her style. Option two was better.“Come on, Amber, show us what you got!” Candice exclaimed, her voice laced with mockery. Amber was certain Candice doubted her, and it only made her determination to prove herself stronger. They saw her as a nerd who knew nothing besides reading books and getting straight As but what they do not know was that, she wasn’t just an ordinary nerd — she was Amber Smith, a computer guru’s younger sister and friend to the hottest guy in school. There were tons of things she could do aside books and one of them was showing people they
018. “You heard what she said, Axel, didn’t you?” Candice snapped, her expression hardening. “And you’re just going to stand here and act like you heard nothing?” Axel sighed and ruffled his hair. “What exactly is your problem, Candice?” he asked. This was tiring him out. He was happy Amber handled it perfectly, but Candice was work; one he didn’t want to attend to. “My problem?” she scoffed. “My problem is that your relationship with Amber is beyond friendship. The signs are there. Everything adds up and there is nothing anyone’s gonna tell me to make me change my mind!” Axel raised an eyebrow. "That's ridiculous, Candice. Amber's my best friend." Candice's eyes flashed with anger. "Don't lie to me, Axel. I see the way you look at her." Axel's expression turned cold. "You're being paranoid." Candice's voice trembled. "I'm your girlfriend, Axel. I deserve better than to be disrespected like this." Axel's eyes narrowed. "You're not being disrespected, Candice. You're ju
019. Amber stared at Candice, her eyes filled with so much rage. Candice stared back, laughing at the kind of mess she had made. Melissa held Amber's sticky hands. "Come, let's get out of here. They are taking pictures and making videos." she shook Amber's hand gently, but Amber's angry face remained fixed on Candice. She gently pulled her hand away from Melissa's grip, wiped her mouth clean and began walking towards Candice, who raised an eyebrow at her. She stopped in front of Candice, her eyes holding anger and resentment. "Why did you do it?" she asked, her voice deadly calm. Candice smiled and shrugged. "Do what?" Amber wanted to snap but she controlled herself. "Don't act like you have no idea what I'm talking about," she retorted. "Why did you dump cheese sauce all over me?" she asked, this time her voice was firm. Candice rolled her eyes. "Why are you acting like it's such a big deal? This is what we do to everyone who got into the cheerleading squad," she looked at
020. "Axel," Candice beamed as she made to run into his arms as soon as she caught sight of him walking towards her. "Don't you dare come close to me or you will regret it!" he snapped, his voice laced with anger. Candice was confused as she stared at him, giving him an innocent and clueless expression. "Axel, what-" "Why did you do that to Amber?" he asked, his expression hardening. He had gone online to get some things done only for the video of Amber getting drenched with cheese sauce and her confrontation with Candice popping up continuously on his feed. He hated the fact that many of the students saw nothing wrong with what happened and even made fun of Amber. He was getting sick and tired of Candice's shenanigans. The lady was becoming a huge thorn in his flesh, and he was fed up. Candice feigned innocence. "I did nothing wrong to her. I only upheld our tradition and she took it to heart." "Tradition?" Axel scoffed. "What do you take me for, Candice? A fool you ca
021. “What! Mrs. Yeesha made me the new captain? That’s impossible!” Amber snapped, her eyes widening. Hazel sighed. “It’s true. I heard Candice telling one of the girls to pass the information. She has been suspended for two weeks—” “Serves her right,” Melissa interrupted, a smile on her face. “We wouldn’t be seeing her for a while. It’s actually a good thing if you ask me.” Amber sighed and facepalmed. “I know she did the wrong thing, but her getting expelled is just too much,” she started walking out of the classroom. “Where are you going?” Melissa asked, rushing after her with Hazel trailing behind them. “I’m going to meet Mrs. Yeesha. I can’t become the cheerleading captain. I would have to talk all the time, get different complaints I wouldn’t want to hear, and besides, I know nothing about leading a cheerleading squad.” Amber replied without looking back. The girls sighed and followed her into the Vice Chancellor’s office. Melissa and Hazel waited outside while s
022. “C’mon, Cole, you have to help me tell him. Axel would say no if I told him.” Amber ran after Cole, who was heading out of the house. When they got to the door, she blocked his path. “Little brat, Axel listens to you more, and I’m sure he wouldn’t hesitate if you ask him yourself.” Amber shook her head. “I’m embarrassed. Axel sees me as the smartest girl he has ever know. Asking him would sound like I’m lying and he wouldn’t believe me. I’m really behind in Math. You know it’s not my favorite subject.” Cole rolled his eyes. “But you were the overall best student in Math back in high school.” “That was high school. This is College,” she held his hand and shook him. “Please, please, please ask Axel to be my tutor for the semester. I promise not to bother you if you can just do this one thing for me.” Cole sighed. “Promise?” Amber nodded. “Cool then. I’ll tell him when I get back.” He wanted to walk past her but she spread out her arms. “No, tell him now.” “Amber
023. Their lips collided in a passionate crash, sending shivers down her spine. Axel's kiss was intense, all-consuming, and utterly intoxicating. His tongue teased hers, igniting a fire that spread through her veins like wildfire. As he deepened the kiss, Amber's thoughts dissolved into chaos. Her heart pounded, her senses reeled, and her body melted into his. She was lost in the storm of sensations, unable to escape the torrent of desire he unleashed. Axel's grip on her wrists tightened, his fingers intertwining with hers as he explored the depths of her mouth. The world around them dissolved, leaving only the thrum of their racing hearts and the sweet, sweet torture of their kiss. As Axel's lips ravished hers, Amber's knees weakened, her body swaying into his. His hold on her wrists anchored her, keeping her upright. Axel's kiss intensified, his tongue dancing with hers in perfect harmony. Amber's senses blurred, her mind foggy with desire. Suddenly, Axel broke away, gasp
104.KING’S MANSION Amber fiddled with her fingers, her heart pounding in her chest as they drove into the surroundings of King’s mansion. The mansion was truly impressive, its exterior a reflection of Kevin's wealth and status. The imposing structure was flanked by manicured gardens, the driveway lined with perfectly trimmed hedges. The front of the house boasted an elegant portico, flanked by towering marble pillars. It was clear that no expense had been spared in its construction.Amber couldn't help but be awed as she stepped out of the car, her eyes sweeping over the grounds. She turned to Axel, her expression a mix of excitement and anxiety.“Wow,” she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper. Axel chuckled and wrapped his arm around Amber’s waist. “It’s quite something, isn’t it?” he said, his voice tinged with pride. “My father has always had a flair for the extravagant.”Amber smiled weakly, still adjusting to the grandeur of her surroundings. “It’s beautiful,” she manag
Author’s note: I just realized the last chapter was repeated with another one. I’m working to get it fixed. The fixing will be approved before the week runs out, sorry for the inconvenience.Chapter 102 was just about Laura, trying to find a way to make Mr. King have an interview with her so she can outshine Amber, but she failed and now she is frustrated. That is just what it was about. I'm sorry for the mix up one more time. Thanks__________103.A.A ENTERTAINMENT“And... Done!” Amber exclaimed with a smile on her face. Axel looked up from what he was doing and smiled at her. “Well, this is gonna be the last article before the fashion show on Friday. I've sent it to you. Do check and tell me what you think before I forward it to the magazine.” Axel stood to his feet and walked to her desk. He leaned in and looked at her. “Well,” he brushed strands of hair from her face. “You're one hardworking woman, cat eyes.”Amber smiled, her expression loving. “You're the one who makes me so
101.“So, you had the guts to break my daughter's heart and still show your face here?” Smith asked, his expression hard as he looked at Axel.Axel bowed apologetically. “I'm sorry, Father-in-law, I mean, Mr. Smith.” Smith gasped, his eyes widening in shock. Amber, Melissa and Loris burst into a fit of laughter while Cole just shook his head. “You still have the effrontery to call me Father-in-law?” he snapped. “Do I look like I want to be your father-in-law?” Axel was polite as he answered. “That's why I'm going to do whatever it takes to make you want to be my father-in-law,” he turned to face Amber who was already smiling. Amber walked to where he stood and smiled at her father.“Hey, Dad.” Smith scoffed and folded his arms.“I'm really sorry for everything I put her through, Mr. Smith. That's why I'm trying my best to make it right.”“It wasn't your fault, and you already made it right so many times.” she bit her lower lip.Smith's pretense cracked and a smile broke out on his

100.Melissa and Cole looked at her, their eyes widened in shock. “Amber, you-” Loris stopped in front of the door and cleared her throat. Amber had a stunned expression on her face.“What.Is.Going.On.Here?!” Amber asked, stepping further into the room. She knew what was going on, but she wanted to hear from them.“When you're done, you can come down for dinner.” Loris whispered and left hurriedly.Cole and Melissa exchanged looks. “I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Amber,” Cole began and Amber gaped at him. “Melissa and I have been dating for three months now.”“Three months?!” Amber turned to face Melissa, her eyes widening. “And you never bothered to tell me? If Cole didn't, you should have told me at least. You are my best friend, Melissa. Best friends don't hide anything from each other.”Melissa lowered her head, feeling regret. “I'm really sorry, Amber. I know they don't, and I really wanted to tell you but I was nervous and anxious,” she sighed. “I was the one who ask
099.GLAM MAGAZINE “Ooh, someone is extra happy and glowy today.” Gina wiggled her eyebrows mischievously with a smile.Amber blushed and looked away from her. “You just returned from Dubai, sweetie. Leave me alone.”Gina chuckled and sat down. “Uh-huh,” she rolled her eyes and turned Amber to face her. “You know, I would say you are happy because you're trending, but this glow looks even better. Something happened while I was gone and you, my dear, are going to tell me about it.”Amber chuckled. She was literally excited to have gotten back together with Axel. The past week had been the best for her. He would take her on fancy dinners, sightseeing and even cook for her. He was the perfect boyfriend.Gina was about to say something when she saw the necklace on Amber's neck. It had the “A&A” initials. Her eyes widened as realization dawned on her. “No way! You and Axel got back together!” she screamed excitedly, drawing everybody's attention. She gave them an apologetic look before ho
098.Amber and Axel walked into the house after a wonderful night of celebrating and watching the stars. Amber wrapped her arms around his neck,and bit her lower lip. “Now the highlight of the night,” she held his hand, pulled him into the bedroom and pushed him on the bed.As she looked at him, she could picture his heart racing inder her gaze. A devilish grin spread across her face, her eyes twinkling with playful mischief. “Axel King,” she purred, crawling onto the bed to straddle his waist. “Tonight, you are mine to enjoy. And I plan on taking my time.” A slow, tantalizing smile tugged at Axel’s lips. “I’m all yours, Little Kitten,” he breathed, his hands already roaming up her thighs.With a seductive glint in her eye, Amber leaned forward, her fingers tracing a line down Axel’s chest. “You’re going to love every second of this, I promise.” She leaned in, her lips ghosting over his ear, her breath hot against his skin. “But first…” She trailed off, letting the tease linger for
097.The air between them seemed to crackle with anticipation, the fairy lights sparkling like stars in the gathering twilight. Axel gazed into Amber’s eyes, his expression one of profound affection.“Amber, you don’t need to ask me to be yours. You were mine from the moment I met you. You’re still mine, and I’m still yours. Nothing’s changed,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “I’ve loved you since we were kids. I still love you.”“Then you’ll be mine, officially?” Amber asked, a smile playing on her lips.Axel grinned, leaning in to press a tender kiss on her forehead. “I’ve been yours, always.” He paused, his expression becoming more serious. “But yes, I’ll be yours, officially. If that’s what you want, I’ll be whatever you need me to be, Amber.”Amber let out a small sigh of relief, feeling her heart swell with happiness. “Thank you, Axel.”“Thank you?” Axel chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. “I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for loving me, for seeing past
096.That evening, Amber couldn't help her nervousness as she got ready for the date.“Girl, you need to stop fidgeting else we aren't getting this makeup done before Axel gets here.” Melissa said, her eyes fixed on Amber's face. She wanted everything to be perfect.“Sorry,” Amber replied sheepishly. “I'm just really excited. And a little nervous.”“But why?” Melissa teased, raising an eyebrow. “You and Axel have history. This isn’t some blind date with a stranger. Plus, you’re stunning! He’s going to love you even more than he already does.”Amber chuckled. “I know. But it’s not that. It’s the other stuff,” she sighed. “It's not something I've done before, you know. I mean I'm good at showing him how naughty I can be, and how much I want him, but tonight is different. I want to make him feel special.”Melissa’s eyes widened in understanding, but Amber was sure Melissa understood it in the naughty way. She meant something entirely different from that though. “Oh,” she said, a mischiev
