“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
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
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;

112."Now, let's go make a dramatic entrance." he smirked and she smiled as they walked into the hall together.The hall was filled with influential men and women, who came to witness the handover ceremony of the Sullivan Group. Bianca sat in the midst of her friends as they chatted and giggled happily while congratulating her for becoming the first CEO among them.Nathan was seated by her side, her arms locked with his as she gisted with her friends about how shocked she was when her father sent out the invitations."You needed to see the look on my face, babes." she said, flaunting her perfectly manicured nails in their faces."Girl, you rock. Your father must have seen your potential. We all know how much of a boss lady you are." Brenda, one of her friends, spoke up."I know, right? She is beautiful, talented and all round capable! Not to think she also has a very handsome boyfriend." Ava, her second friend complimented her as she looked at her dreamily."Oh, stop it, girls. You fl
111.Amber smiled, deepening the kiss, causing the students to gasp and murmur while some took pictures. They pulled away from the kiss and Amber bit her lip. “Hello, boyfriend,” she chuckled.Axel smiled and took a seat beside her, his hands linked with hers. The students couldn’t believe that it was indeed true that their prom king and queen were dating. Who would have thought that their golden boy would fall in love with a girl whom they once called an unnoticed nerd. The girls were literally burning with jealousy, while the boys just stared, now regretting why they hadn’t approached Amber from Day one.Hazel couldn’t help the embarrassment. Not only were all eyes on her, her plan had failed even before it was implemented. She had thought Amber had a crush on Axel the day she caught her speaking with Axel—she thought Amber had overreacted as a result—she had no idea the lady was dating Axel. And she just made a fool out of herself.Axel’s gaze shifted to Hazel who had her knees on
110.Amber returned to join Melissa in the cafeteria, her face filled with smiles that made Melissa suspect her to the bones. Jack had already left, claiming he wanted to handle some things, but Melissa had to wait for Amber.“Have a seat,” she patted the chair beside her, her gaze fixed on Amber, trying to look for whatever was out of place because she knew Amber didn’t just help Axel with whatever he asked her to. He had teammates who could do that with ease.Amber raised an eyebrow, but she took a seat regardless. She took a sushi burger and just as she was about to take a bite, Melissa spoke up. “So… how did that stuff go with Axel?” she asked, barring her lashes at Amber, who looked up to meet her eyes.Amber’s cheeks flushed instantly, confirming Melissa’s suspicion. No way is she going to tell Melissa how Axel had tricked her into the storage room and fucked her to oblivion since he couldn’t get his hands off her.Melissa studied Amber's reaction, sure that she was hiding some
109.“That's all for today, students. I'll be expecting your reports for the holiday project in my office tomorrow morning, is that understood?” “Yes, Professor Willer.” The students echoed.The Professor smiled and walked out of the class. The students began putting their books into their bags while Melissa turned to look at Amber. “Girl, I've been quiet all day, but that didn't mean I didn't notice this gorgeous dress you wore today.”Amber smiled, a blush crawling to her cheeks. “Axel got it for me back when we started dating. I haven't really worn it since he got it,” she said, putting her notebooks and textbooks into her backpack. “I decided to wear it to make him happy today.”Melissa chuckled. “What did he say? Did he love it?” she asked.Amber nodded, leaned in and whispered into Melissa's ear. “He almost ate me up,” she said and Melissa purred. “If it weren't for Cole's presence at home, I'm sure I would have missed first period.” Melissa laughed out loud. “Oh my gosh, Amy,
108.BOSTON “Home sweet home!” Amber exclaimed, throwing herself on the couch in the living room.Cole rolled his eyes. “You are lucky Axel asked for the house to be cleaned before we got here,” he said, dragging her luggage in. “Else, you'd have a meeting with dust there.”Amber sat up, batting her lashes at Cole. “That's why he's the best boyfriend in the world, brother,” she sneered, turning to face the door.Axel walked in and took her luggage from Cole. “I'll take it to her room. You go freshen up. I ordered pizza for dinner.”Cole beamed. “You think of everything,” he said, gave Amber a warning glare before taking the stairs to his room. Amber rose to her feet and took her luggage from Axel. “You pamper me too much,” she said, her face beaming with smiles. “It's just luggage. I can definitely take it to my room myself.”Axel took the luggage back from her, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. “I love pampering you, Amber,” he said, his voice gentle. “And as long as
107.Loris led Amber, Axel, and Cole to a table before leaving to get things for the art exhibition ready. While they were seated and Amber took pictures and videos, a man approached her.Axel’s eyes narrowed, watching the young man’s movements like a hawk. Amber, however, was still caught up in the world of art, oblivious to the approaching stranger.The young man stopped in front of Amber, smiling broadly. “Hello there,” he said, his voice smooth and suave. “My name’s Adrian. You’re the loveliest lady I’ve seen here today.”Amber looked up from her phone, slightly surprised by the compliment. “Oh,” Amber said, flustered. “Um, thank you, Adrian.” She glanced at Axel, whose expression had darkened considerably. Realizing the situation, she quickly added, “I'm here with my boyfriend. Axel, this is Adrian.”Adrian turned his attention to Axel, giving a polite nod. “A pleasure to meet you, sir,” he said, his smile faltering only slightly.Axel stared back at Adrian, sizing him up. “Amber
106.Amber gently walked into the house with Loris. Her gaze fixed on Axel and Cole who were busy playing video games. She turned to face her mother, who gave her a go ahead.She rushed to the front of the boys and spread her arms, showing off her new hairstyle. “Ta-da!” she exclaimed, her face beaming with smiles.Cole’s eyes widened while Axel stared at her, love emojis literally popping out of his head. His girlfriend looked breath taking. Her ponytails were gone, replaced by a sleek, straight hairstyle that fell past her shoulders and shone like silk in the light. The simple change transformed her from a cute, bubbly girl to a stunning young woman, full of grace and beauty.Cole let out a low whistle, his jaw dropping in admiration. Axel, on the other hand, seemed to be at a loss for words. “Amber,” he breathed, standing up from his seat and wrapping her in his arms, “you look…amazing. You're beautiful, baby.”Amber smiled, her cheeks flushing pink. “Thanks, Axel,” she said, her v
