046."C'mon, Amber, you're just going to leave me alone here?" Axel whined as Amber got dressed for the party.Amber rolled her eyes playfully. "You aren't a baby. I'll just be gone for a few hours. I won't stay too long." she gave him a heart shaped necklace to wear for her.Axel took it with a sigh and after helping her with it, hugged her from the back, his arms wrapped around her. For a moment, Amber wanted to forget about the party and just stay with him, but Melissa needed her and she didn't want to let her bestie down. "I don't want you to leave." he pouted, placing a soft kiss on her neck. The kiss sent a shiver down her spine the shuddered, clearly affected by that little contact.She pushed away from his arms and cupped his face. "I'll be back before you know it." she kissed him but he wrapped his hand around her waist and deepened the kiss, causing her to moan into his mouth.Axel pulled out and brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Do not mess around with any man, Kitt
047.“I’ll be watching you, and if you look even slightly uncomfortable, we’re out of here. Understood?”Melissa nodded, her shoulders relaxing slightly. “I understand. Thank you, Amber.”Tyler, his smile widening, gestured towards the rest of the room. “Now, ladies, let me show you around,” he said, leading them deeper into the house. “There are plenty of rooms where you can let loose, and a number of my…special friends who would be more than happy to give you a tour.”Amber narrowed her eyes, her hands curling into fists as she kept pace with Melissa and Tyler. The house was like a maze of debauchery, each room they passed filled with more hedonistic scenes than the last.As they rounded a corner, Tyler gestured towards a set of stairs. “Now, if you really want to see the good stuff,” he said, his voice dripping with innuendo, “you’ll have to follow me upstairs.”Amber hesitated, her instincts screaming at her to turn and run. But Melissa, her face flushed with excitement, started u
048.“You’re going to pay for that!” the man snarled, his face twisted with rage. He reached out and grabbed Amber by the hair, pulling her head back so that she was forced to look up at him. “You’re going to learn to obey me. And then, I’m going to take what I want.”Amber screamed, struggling against the man’s grip, but he was too strong. She could feel the panic rising in her chest, the fear that she was going to be violated and hurt.With a desperate cry, she kicked out with her leg, connecting with the man’s shin. He howled in pain, his grip on her hair loosening. It was her only chance.Amber pulled away, her heart racing as she scrambled towards the door. But just as she was about to make her escape, the man pulled her back and pinned her to the wall and as he was about to kiss her, a loud crash echoed through the room, causing her to turn in fear and the man to turn in annoyance, wondering who dared to interrupt him.Axel was standing in the doorway, his face twisted in pure r
049.“You still want to go for the game?” Axel asked, worry etched on his face as he watched Amber get ready. “You should be resting after what happened yesterday.”Amber shook her head. “Jack is my vest friend, Axel. It’s only natural I be at the game to cheer him on,” she replied with a small smile. “Besides, I don’t want to think about what happened anymore. I just want to forget about it and move on. After all, I have you. You saved me and I no longer want to think of the possible scenario that would have happened if you hadn’t come when you did.” Axel stared at her with a mixture of shock and pride. “You’re one strong lady, Cat eyes. That’s the reason I can’t have enough of you.” he embraced her.Amber hugged him back and patted his back. When he had let her go, she reached into her wardrobe and was about to pull out Jack’s jersey when she recalled she had to distract Axel. If he saw the jersey, he might get all jealous, and she didn’t want that.She turned to face him, her face
050.Amber stood to her feet and gestured for Melissa to follow her. Melissa stood up with a sigh and followed Amber until they were somewhere quiet.Amber turned to face Melissa, her arms folded. “Seriously?” she snapped. “You’re dating Tyler?” she asked, the disbelief evident in her tone.She had thought Melissa would forget about him after everything that happened the previous day. Melissa shrugged. “Yeah, I finally got what I wanted, Amber,” she replied flatly. “I expect you to be happy for me and not being shocked.”Amber blinked. “What? You’ve seen the kind of person he is, Mel. He is a sex freak, and a notorious person. He shouldn’t be someone you be in a relationship with.” Melissa snickered. “You don’t know anything about him,” she said, her voice taking on a serious tone. “He might be a sex freak, but he isn’t a bad person. And I finally got him to notice me. He asked me to be his girlfriend last night.” Melissa smiled.Amber couldn’t shake off the feeling that something w
051.“I do not want to listen to your apology,” Amber snapped with her fists balled. “I already told you I hated you, and you should stay away from me.”Tyler heaved a deep breath. “How can I? How can I stay away when I really didn’t mean for you to get hurt yesterday?” he asked.Amber scoffed. “Whether you are sorry or not doesn’t change the fact that you’re a freak and a psychopath,” she said, her voice laced with venom. “You deceived Melissa and I, and I won’t forgive you for that.” Tyler sighed and tried to touch her, but she pushed his hand away. “Amber, I’m really sorry,” he ruffled his hair with a sigh. “I swear I didn’t mean for all that to happen. I thought you’d say no if I told you the kind of party I was inviting you to. That’s why I lied. I was thinking maybe you’d like it when you saw everything.”“You clearly saw how uncomfortable I was, and how I was asking us to go back, but you paid no attention. That only shows the kind of person you are,” she concluded, pointing h
052.Amber tried her best to be in a good mood as football match was set to start. Jack and his teammates walked into the stadium, and she could see his eyes darting around—probably looking for them—and suddenly, his eyes met hers, and he beamed, seeing his Jersey on her.Amber shouted his name and waved at him while he blew her a kiss. She used her hand to give him a heart shape and he chuckled. The excitement on his face was enough to make her day. She was glad she wore the jersey. Now, her best friend would try his best to win the game.Axel watched their interactions and couldn’t help his jealousy even though Amber and Jack were best friends. He leaned closer to Amber. “You’re making me jealous, Kitten,” he whispered in her ears, causing a shiver to run down her spine. “Careful, else I might punish you tonight.”Amber bit her lower lip, already turned on by what he just said. She turned to look at him, her eyes flashing with mischief. “Oh, really?” she purred, a smile playing at
053.After they were given the awards, Amber rushed into the field and hugged Jack. He wrapped his hand around her and she took pictures while Melissa came to join them.“Congratulations, Jack. I’m so proud of you.” Amber held his hand with a smile.Jack beamed, his face filled with pride. “Thank you, Amber. I wouldn’t have done it without your cheers and support,” he turned to face Melissa. “And you too.” they hugged.“You were amazing out there. If this weren’t an inter school competition, I’m certain it would have blown up on national television or even better… an international television.” Melissa said, causing them to laugh.Axel walked up to them and congratulated Jack as well. “I underestimated you, Jack. You were amazing.” Jack smiled and took Axel’s hand, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. “Thanks. This means a lot coming from you.”Amber gave her phone to Axel. “Could you take a picture of us please?” she requested.Axel smiled and took it from her. “Come on, giv
When Janette got home, her eyes darted to Liam’s car which was parked in the compound. With a sigh, she parked her car beside it and got out, took Ethan who was still sound asleep and walked into the house.Liam was seated on the couch and sprung to his feet the minute he saw her walking in. He approached her, attempting to take sleeping Ethan from her, but she moved back, her expression hardening as she headed up the stairs to Ethan’s room.Liam facepalmed. There was no doubt that she was mad that he had bailed on them when he was supposed to come have fun at the park with them. He rushed up the stairs and walked into Ethan’s room where he saw that she had already taken his shoes off and tucked him into bed.“Jane,” he called, but she acted as if she didn’t hear him. Instead, she focused on making sure Ethan was comfortable. “Please, hear me out.” “Do you want to wake him up?” she asked, not sparing him a glance, and he pursed his lips as he waited for her to finish.When she was do
120.Amber blinked. She couldn’t believe Cole would say such a thing to her. How on earth was she selfish? She was doing this for his own good. It was hurting to see her genius brother being fooled by a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But now because she cared, Cole had to raise his voice on her for the first time. It broke her heart so much that her brother didn’t trust her enough to believe her. “We’ve never had a fight before, Cole,” Amber said, her eyes turning glassy as she looked up at her brother. “Are you going to allow your so-called girlfriend come between us? I’m your sister. I would never hurt you or put myself first before you.”“Stop making this about you, Amber,” Cole sighed, feeling conflicted. “When you and Axel got together, I wasn’t against it. Even when you two kept it away from me, I didn’t get mad.”“I and Axel are different!” Amber snapped. “And the reason you approved of the relationship was because you trusted Axel. You knew he was a good person. I don’t trust Jan
119.“Axel, I need your help with talking to Cole,” Amber said as they headed to the parking lot together.Axel stopped in his tracks, turning to face with a confused expression on his face. “Why? What happened?” he asked.Amber stopped walking as well, holding her books to her chest as she looked at Axel. “Because,” she paused, sucking on a long breath. “Janice doesn’t love him. She is lying to him and using him.”Axel blinked. “What?” he asked.Amber nodded, the annoyance she tried so hard to keep in coming back. “Today, Cole asked me to get him food from the cafeteria. On my way to deliver the food to him, I passed by a classroom where I overheard Janice speaking with her friend. She mentioned that once she gets what she wants from Cole, she’d dump him. At first, I thought it was about his grades, but when I confronted, and she was so mean to me, I realized there was something more, but I couldn’t find out what.”Axel stared at Amber for a while. “Are you sure about this?” he asked
118.“Spill what exactly?” Amber asked, folding her arms with a frown on her face.Janice scoffed. “Don’t try to act smart with me, baby girl. I know you overheard me and my friend talking. So tell me, what did you hear?” Amber snickered. “Is your conscience pricking you or are you scared I’m gonna tell my brother what you’re up to? Are you scared I’ll tell him that you are a liar, a deceiver and a bitchy person?” she asked and Janice clenched her fists.Janice watched Amber for a while, but then she realized something. There was no way Cole would believe Amber anyway. She knew how much Cole loved her, and Amber telling him would only make him feel Amber was selfish and unreadable. A smith found its way to her lips as she chuckled. “There’s nothing that’s gonna make Cole believe you anyway,” she said and Amber raised a brow.Janice began pacing the room, a victorious smile plastered on her face. “Need I remind you that you are dating Cole’s best friend,” she said?“So?”“And Cole did
117.Amber huffed and began walking away. “Amber!” Amber stopped in her tracks, her fists clenched. She turned with a frown on her face, annoyance coloring her features as she stared at Janice. Janice’s eyes darted to the bag in Amber’s hand and instantly knew it was the food she had asked Cole to get her. “Hey, are you going to meet Cole?” she asked, beaming at Amber who didn’t return a smile of her own. “Why are you asking? Do you want to use him for something else?” Amber asked, trying to keep the accusation out of her voice, but it wasn’t working.She was literally boiling with rage, and it annoyed her to the core that Janice was acting all innocent in front of her when she just talked down on her brother a few minutes ago. Don’t people have shame these days?Janice raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?” she asked, wondering if Amber had overheard her conversation with her friend. She forced a smile and held Amber’s arm. “Don’t be too cocky, Amy. I know you’re mad th

Bianca paced to and forth in the living room as she waited for her father's arrival. She had been waiting to tell him about what Aiden said and also make sure he explained things to her, but he hadn't been around.He had told her he was coming home today and she had been anxiously waiting. She heard the sound of the door and quickly rushed to get it.“Dad, welcome.” she greeted him and he nodded.He walked into the house and took a seat. She took a seat facing him, dabbing her fingers together as she stared at him.“I want to hear good news, Bianca. Were you able to secure the deal with Aiden?” he asked curtly.Bianca's face fell, and she shook her head. “No, Dad. He refused to work with us.” she answered with a frustrated sigh.Mr. Sullivan's expression turned dark. “What did he say?”Bianca took a deep breath before recounting her conversation with Aiden. Mr. Sullivan's face grew angrier with each passing moment.“When I asked him why, he said it was because of your business practic
“Apologize to her now, Mia. I will not repeat myself again!”Aiden's voice was firm and commanding, leaving no room for argument. Mia's eyes flashed with anger, but she knew better than to cross Aiden when he was in this mood. She took a deep breath and turned to Samantha.“I apologize,” she said stiffly, her words dripping with insincerity.“Say it like you mean it, Mia.” Aiden ordered and Mia sighed, lowering her head.“I'm sorry, Samantha. I shouldn't have said all those words. Please forgive me.” she sounded sincere this time around, but her heart meant something entirely different.Samantha looked at her, her expression unreadable. “It's fine,” she said curtly, her voice barely above a whisper.Aiden's eyes narrowed at Mia. “I mean it, Mia. No more of this. Samantha is going to be my wife, and I won't have you disrespecting her like this.”Mia's eyes widened in shock, but she knew better than to push Aiden further. She nodded, her face pale.“I understand,” she said, her voice ba
