002.

Amber’s heartbeat accelerated. Little Kitten… she hadn’t heard that name for years and hearing it brought a lot of memories.

Could it be that Axel had finally come back? She slowly turned back, bracing herself for what was to come but her face fell when she realized that it wasn’t really anything — just a girl, letting her brother pat her kitten.

Amber shut her eyes tight as she felt a wave of embarrassment. She couldn’t believe that she had mistaken the man for Axel.

With a shake of her head, she quickly walked away. She couldn’t believe it. All these years, she has made herself believe that she didn’t want to see Axel ever again. But tonight, she had no idea why she had anticipated seeing him after hearing those words.

It made her feel ashamed of herself.

“Amber!”

She looked up and sighted Melissa waving at her. With an eye roll, she approached Melissa, who gave her an apologetic expression.

“I’m so sorry, girlie,” Melissa linked their arms, trying to act cute

  • The Badboy’s Little Kitten   Chapter 003 ~ Meeting Mr. A

    003.GLAM MAGAZINEAmber walked into her department, her presence alone drawing everybody’s attention as they all left whatever they were doing to stare at her. A smile tugged at the side of her lips as her heels clicked the floor, the rhythm sweet to the ears of her admirers. If someone told her years ago that she would get used to being the center of attention, she wouldn’t have believed it, but now she relished the feeling—it was the most beautiful thing in the world, but it came with a price.Not everyone staring really loved her. Some stared at her with envy, others with jealousy, and some didn’t even want to see her face. But did she care? Nah. She didn’t give a damn. This was her job, and she worked hard to get here. She deserved this.When she got to her desk, she dropped her bag and took a seat, turning her computer on immediately.“Amber! Amber! Amber!”Amber’s eyes widened as she swayed to the direction of the person calling her. It was Gina, her colleague and friend.Amber

  • The Badboy’s Little Kitten   Chapter 004 ~ Memories of the past

    004. Amber couldn’t believe what she was seeing right now. She blinked to be certain it wasn’t a hallucination, but it was real. She pinched herself to be sure she wasn’t dreaming, but the pain was as real as the man standing in front of her. Axel stared at her, fighting the urge to pull her into his arms. This was the first time he was seeing her up close after more than five years. It felt so surreal. She had grown so much. His little Kitten was a woman now. Amber’s eyes turned teary as she looked at the man in front of her. “Axel.” she whispered. “Cat eyes,” he called back, causing her heart to skip a beat as tears rolled down her cheeks. She hadn’t heard that name in years and it hurt that it still had that effect on her; that effect she hadn’t felt for a long time. Axel made to take a step forward, but she moved back, her face filled with a mixture of shock and horror. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined meeting him in such a way. Her head reeled with m

    005.“What do you mean someone else have to do it?” Ms. June asked Amber who has returned to her office as soon as she left Axel’s company. She knew Amber to be very diligent in her work, and Amber hadn’t turned down any interview before. “What is the problem?” she asked another question, her gaze fixed on Amber who looked sad and downtrodden.Amber exhaled. “Please, Ms. June, I know I didn’t do the right thing by leaving and coming here, but I can’t do this interview. I just can’t. Let someone else do it. Laura, for example.”Ms. June shook her head as she massaged her forehead. “Mr. A rejected Laura’s outline. He personally chose you. Why would you leave? If he gets angry and decide to do something to this company, what are you going to say about that?” Ms. June had always loved Amber and always supported everything she did, but this time around, she had no idea what was going on, and she felt it would be better if Amber told her what was wrong, but Amber had withheld that informati

    006.AMBER’S APARTMENT ————“Oh, Melissa, I still can’t believe it!” Amber threw her hands in the air, looking so down and frustrated while Melissa tried her best to pat her back and assure her that it was fine.“If you think about it, this is quite strange,” Melissa said and Amber looked up at her, her face filled with curiosity. “Axel left without giving you a valid reason—”“Don’t forget that he hurt me before leaving.” Amber placed her hand on her forehead.Melissa rolled her eyes. “Yeah, that too. All these years, he’s been in Las Vegas, blocked all access that you could get to him and went fully anonymous. He built his company from the ground up, and it became successful immediately. For years, he rejected the proposals sent by Glam Magazine for interviews and didn’t even bother showing his face to the public. Now all of a sudden, he accepted, and it turned out to be your outline.”Amber scratched her head. She wasn’t getting what Melissa was saying. “Your point?”Melissa poked

    007.A.A ENTERTAINMENT Axel held Amber's ID card in his hand as he swayed in his chair, waiting for her to arrive. The Lead Editor had been sending him lots of texts, still apologizing for how Amber had behaved but Axel wasn't interested in all that. He only wanted to see her.Maverick walked into the office and bowed. "The Journalist from Glam Magazine is here."Axel adjusted in his seat. "Let her in," he said and Maverick bowed before walking out. Axel dropped the ID card on the table and adjusted his suit, fixed his hair and steepled his fingers as he waited for her to come in.The door to the office opened and he stood up with a smile only for his smile to disappear when he saw that the person who just entered wasn't Amber.Laura, on the other hand, was stunned by how good looking he was. For a moment, she forgot to think as he raised a brow at her, wondering who she was and what she was doing in his office. He tilted his head towards the door but there was no one else coming in.

    008.An hour later, Amber was already standing in front of Axel's office door, her grip on her handbag tightening. After speaking with Ms. June, she had taken some time to get herself mentally and emotionally prepared. All she had to do was ask him a few questions like in the outline and then leave, never to see him again."Ms. Amber, welcome." Maverick smiled.Amber turned to face him and forced a smile as well as she bowed. "Mr. A is in a meeting right now. He will be with you shortly," he conveyed and she nodded. "Please wait inside.""Inside the office?" she asked and Maverick nodded. Amber forced a smile. "No, I'll just wait here. There's no need for that."Maverick smiled at her. "Please. I insist." Amber sighed but eventually nodded. She walked into the office, her heels clicking on the tiled floor. Now she had the time to look around and she realized the office actually looked nice; talk about an understated elegance. The walls were a soft grey, lit by recessed lighting tha

    009.The air seemed to charge with electricity as Axel stared at Amber, who didn’t break eye contact with him. She hadn’t wanted to ask, but she couldn’t help it. This is a question that had been bothering her for years, and she needed to get it out of her system today.Axel broke eye contact and sighed as he leaned back in his seat. Amber fiddled with her fingers as she waited for his response, but he said nothing.Amber sneered, lowering her gaze. “Well? Aren’t you gonna say something? Or perhaps, do you need me to help you elaborate?”“Amber, I—”“Was our relationship part of the things you had to give up to climb to the top?” she asked, and Axel’s eyes widened.No, that wasn’t it. That would never!“Amber—”“Or did I mean nothing to you just like you said years ago? Did you really mean you were just using me to pass time then? Or maybe I was just some toy—”“Amber, please!” Axel snapped, his heart beating frantically in his chest as he stared at her. Amber’s eyes heated up with te

    010.GLAM MAGAZINE“You’re back safe and sound, Amber,” Ms. June gave her a teasing grin. “You did well. What were you so afraid of?” she asked.Amber only forced a smile.“Well, all you have to do is prepare it, send him the draft and let him approve it before we publish it. Who knows? It might become the Cover story of the magazine.”Amber’s face lit up. “That… sounds amazing. That was what I was aiming for before sending the outline anyway.”Ms. June chuckled. “You are a hard working lady, Amber. I believe you’re going to make me proud, just like you’ve always done.”“You can count on that, Ms. June.” Amber smiled genuinely this time.She walked out of Ms. June’s office and sighed before walking to her desk. When she was seated, Gina swayed her chair to Amber’s side, and cleared her throat. “Now is time for you to give me all the tea. What is Mr. A like?” she asked.The rest of the employees perked up their ears, ready to listen to what Amber was going to say even though they prete

  • The Badboy’s Little Kitten   Chapter 117 ~ Don is back!

    117.After the dinner, Amber, Larissa and Melissa stayed back to help Loris clean. Kevin talked over wine with Mr. Smith while Axel felt like his world had been tilted. Cole walked to him and held his hand, leading him upstairs to his room.Maverick, who had also noticed the distressful look on Axel's face had to follow them as well. They got to Cole's room and he locked the door then turned to face Axel.“Spill it. What happened back at the dinner? Your phone beeped, you checked it and all of a sudden, your mood changed. You haven't been yourself since then,” he said and Axel let out a sigh. “You might not married to Amber yet, but you and I have been friends long enough to be called family, and I won't appreciate it if you decide to hide this from me.”“I don't intend to hide this from you, Cole,” Axel said, his tone low. “I'm just worried. I might not be as scared as I was years ago, but I'm worried. Don is back.”“What!” Maverick and Cole exclaimed at the same time.“How is that p

    116.A week later…THE SMITHS…When Amber and Axel arrived, Amber turned to face Axel. “Do you think your father will be able to make it? He's busy and all. He might not want to bother himself with our humble dinner.”Axel raised an eyebrow at her, wondering where that idea was coming from. He took Amber's hand in his. “This isn't just any dinner, Amber. This is family, and I'm very certain my father will make it. He might like wealth and influence, but he doesn't take family for granted. You don't need to be extravagant to please him. Besides, this dinner is all about us.”Amber smiled and nodded, feeling at ease. “Welcome, my sweet couple,” Loris stepped out of the house with a smile.Amber facepalmed. “Mum, don't make this awkward.” she muttered.Loris chuckled. “Oh please! Today is a happy day,” she turned to Axel, her face beaming with smiles. “Welcome home, my son-in-law. I told you that was going to be the best proposal, and you did wonderfully well.”Axel walked forward and L

    115.Next Day...GLAM MAGAZINE “Of course, mum, I'll definitely bring him and his family over,” Amber said as she stepped out of her car. “I was shocked too. Believe me, I didn't expect all of that.”“Oh my baby! I can't believe you've grown so much. You even got proposed to...on television!” Loris kept going on and on, her voice breaking.Amber sighed and shook her head. “Mum, are you crying?” she asked, but there were only sniffles from the other end. Amber facepalmed. “Mum, I thought we talked about this.”Loris sighed from the other end. “I know. I know, I'm just so happy, you know? Just yesterday, you were this tiny little baby. And now... you...” she trailed off.Amber smiled and shook her head. “It's fine, Mum.”Loris sighed. “Yeah, I know. Don't forget to bring Axel home for dinner, alright? We can all have a family dinner.”Amber smiled. “Sure, mum. I gotta go now. I have a lot of work to do today.”“Okay, baby. Enjoy your day.”Amber hung up and took a deep breath. Her moth

    114.“No!” Jack yelled, throwing the glass of wine he was holding to the ground. The glass shattered to pieces, its contents spilling all over the floor. “This is outrageous! No!” he yelled.Trent, who was seated opposite him stood to his feet. “Come on, you have to give it up already. There's nothing to be done anymore.” he clapped his hands and the maids quickly rushed to come clean the mess Jack had made.Jack felt like a volcano threatening to explode. He couldn't believe Axel had the guts to propose to Amber for the whole world to see. Amber was supposed to be his. She was supposed to get married to him. Axel can't ruin her life and come back to get married to her.Jack let out a shout of pain of frustration, his hand clutching to his chest. He was so hurt that it felt like his heart was being tugged at, about to be ripped out of his chest. “No, I can't let this happen, Trent, I can't lose Amber like that!” he yelled, his eyes already glistening with tears.Trent sighed. “There'

    113.“What is going on here?” Laura finally asked. Her focus was solely on Amber. “Are you related to Mr. King in any way?” she asked.Amber shrugged. “You could say that.” she faced Axel with a smile on her face.Laura blinked. She wasn't daft. Something was actually going on. It was either Amber was related to Mr. King, or she was dating… she shook her head. That was impossible. If Amber was dating Axel, everyone would know about it. Amber wouldn't have kept it hidden. If for anything, Amber would have intentionally announced it to rub it in her face.“I think they are dating, Laura.” Vera whispered.“No, I don't believe that!” Kevin smiled at Axel. “I thought you said you'd make a big announcement about your relationship after the face reveal. What changed?” Amber blinked, turning to look at Axel. Axel grinned. “Well, a certain lady said she wanted this night to be all about me. She doesn't want to take the attention away from me.” he answered with an eye roll.Kevin chuckled hea

    112.Axel wore a sleek black suit fit him perfectly, with a white shirt underneath. His black bowtie was tied neatly around his neck, giving him a polished and professional look. His dark hair was styled perfectly, falling in soft waves around his face. And then there were his eyes. Amber could see the intensity of his gaze from her seat as he looked out over the audience, taking in the stunned silence that had fallen over the room.Laura couldn't help swooning while Vera felt like she was on cloud nine.“Oh my gosh! He is so good looking! Why would he hide his face when he's so hot?!” Vera asked.“Maybe he already has a girlfriend and doesn't want shameless ladies drooling all over him.” Gina replied with a smirk, causing Laura and Vera to gasp.“You-”“Shh, everyone! He's about to speak!” Amber cut their argument off, her gaze fixated on Axel. Maverick walked to him and hugged him, smiling widely. Axel returned the hug and then stepped forward, a microphone in his hand. “Good even

    111.After Candice left in a fury of anger, Amber turned to face Axel, a smile playing on her lips. “You're really one in a million. I don't even think there's anyone like you in this world,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. “I love you so so much.”Axel pulled her close and kissed her lips. “I love you more, Cat eyes,” he replied, his expression mirroring hers. “You are my woman, and I will never let anyone downplay that part.”Axel meant every word he said and Amber knew it. She couldn't ask for more. This was the kind of life she ordered and appreciated. Axel, on the other hand, had only let Candice go because today was a big day for him, and he didn't want any mishaps. He would have fired her if it weren't for her Father and his Father's relationship. But that didn't mean she was off the hook.Amber cupped his cheeks and chuckled. “You look s dreamy whenever you defend me like that. I want to kiss you so bad, but you're about to do a face reveal in front of the whole world

    110.Amber folded her arms, her expression hardening. Just when her night was getting good, Candice had to show her annoying face here. “How may I help you, Candice?” she asked with an annoyed expression on her face.Candice's smile was all too cheery for Amber's liking. “What are you doing in here?”Amber raised an eyebrow at her. “What sort of question is that? Do I need to have a reason to come to the studio?”Candice scoffed. “Look around?” She pointed at everything. “Does any of these belong to you? Whether you work here or not is none of my business, but you can't just walk in here like you own the place.”Amber couldn't believe this lady. What the heck was wrong with her? “For your information, my boyfriend owns this company so I have the right to enter wherever I want to. But of course, you won't understand that because you're too busy being jealous and bitter towards other people's relationship,” she said and Candice gasped. “I have been silent, but I don't think I can keep i

Everything and everyone is ready.” Ms. June smiled. “Tonight is the night everyone has been waiting for, team. You got to try your best to get it all on camera. Laura will handle the oral interviews, while Amber will handle the written ones. Gina and Vera are there to assist.

They all knew what was at stake: a scoop that could make or break their careers. They’d spent weeks preparing, and now it was time for the main event. “Let’s go,” Ms. June declared, leading the team out of the office and into the waiting car. When they had entered, she bade them farewell and whispered in Amber's ears. “Make us proud.” Amber smiled and nodded with a
