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
105.GLAM MAGAZINE “A.A Entertainment’s fashion show is this Friday. How prepared are you for it, Amber?” Ms. June asked Amber, who she'd call into her office.Amber smiled and adjusted her jacket. “I'm prepared enough,” she said, her voice laced with confidence. “I have Gina to go with me. You asked Laura and Vera to come with as well. I still have no idea why.”Ms. June adjusted in her seat. “This is a big deal for the company, Amber, and we can't take any chances. We need all the hands we can get.”“Gina and I can handle it perfectly.”“The same way Laura and Vera can,” Ms. June said. “I know you aren't in best terms with her, but you two will have to put your differences aside and work together. We are partners with A.A Entertainment, which means we have to have the inside information about the fashion show. We need to have the main tea so we can stand out from other magazines and reporters. Readers are anticipating your article, Amber, and with his important this is, I don't wan
Chapter 001 ~ Axel king “There is no fuckíng way I am going to that university to live under the same roof with that annoying bag of fish water!” “Amber, language!” Loris snapped at her. “He is your brother for crying out loud.” “Mum, you don’t understand. Cole is the exact replica of dad. He is so overprotective and won’t let me live my life.” Amber rolled her eyes with her arms folded. After waiting for three months for feedback from the admission board, she couldn’t believe they didn’t give her the college she applied for. They had to take her to Boston! Fucking Boston, where her senior brother was schooling. And what’s worse, she was going to be living under the same roof with him. The last thing she ever wanted in her life was to have her brother’s prying eyes on her. In all her seventeen years of existence, she hadn’t seen any brother behave the way hers does, and it was freaking annoying to her. “It’s for your own good, Amber. Your father wanted the best for you—”
002. “But you said you were schooling in England. How come you are here in Boston?” Amber asked, confusion etched on her face. Axel chuckled. “I told you I was schooling in New England, USA, girl,” He poked her forehead. “How come you get good grades when you know nothing?” He rolled his eyes and Amber suddenly remembered. He had mentioned something like Massachusetts… she suddenly gasped. He was referring to Boston. Boston is located in Massachusetts. She facepalmed, realizing that she had misquoted him. “Oh my gosh!” She suddenly exclaimed and sat on the bed. She had thrown a tantrum at home because she thought her parents were taking her to a place she’d never get to see Axel ever again. But they had actually brought her straight to him, and not just that, she was going to be living under the same roof with him. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was overwhelmed with happiness. She thought of how she’d get to see him every day and not just that, she’d go to the same colle
3. NEXT MORNING… Amber awoke with a smile on her face. This was the first time she actually woke up with a genuine smile since the previous months. She had had trouble having a peaceful sleep after Axel left. She may or may not have fantasized about him doing terrible but pleasurable things to her which always ended up with her touching herself in the process. She was shameless, she knew it, but she felt she shouldn’t be blamed for lusting after her brother’s best friend. I mean look at him… he was drop dead gorgeous; too hot to even breathe the same air as her. She could still recall the day he spent the night at their house, and she had to wake up and find him making some pancakes in the kitchen. He was shirtless and his hair was messy, and it only made him hotter than he already was. She had watched how his muscles flexed as he lifted the frying pan and flipped the pancakes. She blessed her self control because it took all she had not to run into his arms and trail her han
004. Amber's eyes widened, her grip on the fork tightening the more. “Girlfriend?” she repeated, trying to keep her tone neutral. Candice nodded, smiling. “Yeah, we've been together for a few months now.” Amber's gaze shifted to Axel, who looked uncomfortable. “You didn't mention you had a girlfriend,” she said, trying to keep the accusation out of her voice. Axel shrugged. “It didn't come up.” Amber felt a pang of disappointment. Why hadn't he told her? Did he think she wouldn't care? She glared at him, her heart aching. Candice leaned in, oblivious to the tension. “So, Amber, what do you think of the campus so far?” Amber forced a smile, trying to play it cool. “It's great. Thanks for asking.” Candice nodded with a smile. “Since you’re Axel’s little sister, I’ll give you special treatment,” ‘If that special treatment involves you leaving Axel’s life forever, I’m game.’ Amber muttered in her thoughts as Candice kept going on and on about how she would take care of
005.“Spill the tea, girlie. How on earth do you know Axel King? He even shoved you into his car!” Melissa exclaimed, causing Amber to laugh.“He didn’t really shove me into the car, Mel.” Amber massaged her forehead. Melissa had video called her the minute she got home and wouldn’t stop asking about Axel. She couldn’t help wondering how Amber knew who Axel was when she was just a freshman.Melissa rolled her eyes. “Oh please!” she waved it off. “He literally swept you off your feet.” she giggled.Amber chuckled softly. “Well, he is my brother’s best friend, so he is technically my friend too. We’ve known each other since we were kids.”Melissa gasped. “Girl, you’re lucky. Axel King is the most popular guy on campus. Don’t ask me how I know, I’m an all rounder-perks of being a mass communication student, am I right?”“It’s gossip.” Amber laughed.The door to her room opened and Cole walked in. He threw the towel he was holding on Amber’s face and she huffed.“Let’s talk later, Melissa
006.Next day…Amber, Melissa, and Jack were having lunch in the cafeteria and Melissa didn’t waste time before telling Jack about Axel. Jack gasped. “I might just be a freshman but the name “Axel King” is gold on campus. Everybody knows him and girls? Fuck, they are always all over him, especially when he plays basketball.”Melissa giggled. “Not only is he hot and drop dead gorgeous, he is also good at sports and have led this college to numerous victories in his two years of being here,”Amber smiled. “Axel has always been my golden guy. He is awesome.” Melissa narrowed her eyes at her. “Girl, you’re swooning.” she chuckled.Amber sighed.Just then, Axel walked into the cafeteria, and just like they had said, all eyes were on him in an instant, including hers. There was something about him… about his presence, his aura, that seemed to command the room. Melissa watched Amber with a smile on her face. No one needed to explain what was going on to her right now. One thing she knew;

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
