Ember james, a 23 year old who was dumped by her boyfriend on the day she graduated from college. At the same night the CEO of a multimillion COMPANY suddenly proposed to her, but not out of love but because she was the cure that he had been looking for for years.
View MoreEmber continued to stay in Axle's house until she completely healed. She didn't want to but she didn't want to leave Jaden, she had left him before, she couldn't leave again because being away from him hurt too much. Both her and Axle agreed that they would live in the same house for Jaden's sake. They pretended to be happy in front of Jaden but treated each other like complete strangers when Jaden was not around. Ember was yet to visit her mom's house because the media was all over waiting to throw questions at her. She wanted to wait for them to give up on wanting to interview her so she could go back to living life peacefully, away from Axle. Because that is what she wanted, but it wasn't going to be easy considering that Jaden was in the picture, and she couldn't leave him with Axle or take him away from Axle. Jaden loved them both, and she didn't want to take what he loved away from him. She loved him too much to hurt his little heart. ● ●Ember woke up early, and she got Ja
Ember closed her eyes as soon as she heard the gunshot. She waited to feel the bullet entering her body but she felt nothing, just a scream from Karen. She opened her eyes and she saw someone wearing a black hoodie in front of her. It was a man, she didn't recognise him until he fell down on the floor, her heart stopped as soon as she saw him, it was Royal. He got shot instead of her. The bullet went through his forehead. "No! No, no, no." She tried to move closer to him but Axle's grip around her was strong, he didn't allow her to move closer to him. "Axle, let go!" She tried, but her body was too weak.While Ember was trying to break free from Axle's hold and his attention was no longer on her, she pointed the gun in Ember's direction and she shot her, right on her chest and she ran away. Axle took out his phone and he called his men. They got to where he was after a few minutes, Ember was still breathing, but Royal was already dead. They took Ember and they sent her to a hospital,
"Ember!" She heard the voice again, probably for the third time. It sounded distant and it was like she was dreaming, but it got louder and more real. She slowly opened her eyes, and she saw a figure standing right above her. As soon as she was able to see clearer she saw who it was, it was Axle and she could see the look of panick in his eyes. "Axle?" Her throat was dry and her tongue felt heavy."Thank god you are okay. We don't have much time." He said, untying her and he picked her up from the metal bed. She was still trying to krocess what was happening, when he walked out of the room with her in his arms. Her body still felt heavy so the drug was still affecting her. "What's going on?" She manged to ask."I'll explain later. We just gotta get out of here before the security system comes back online again. Royal, is waiting outside with a van and he's watching the hallways for us." He said. She nodded her head. She felt tired so she decided to relax in his body, while he ran ou
After getting her dress, Ember drove to a pastry shop to get something sweet to eat and some for Royal."That'll be two fifty." The pastry shop owner said. Ember nodded her head and she took out a cash of two fifty bucks from her purse and she handed it to the shop owner. "Thank you, have a nice day.""You too," Ember said. She took her box of pastries and she walked out of the shop towards her car. Before she could unlock her car, she felt someone tap her on her shoulder, she turned around and saw an old lady, who looked like she was in her late 70s or early 80s."Excuse me dear, can you help me out please?" The old lady asked."Yes, of course. What do you need help with?" She asked."I lost my ring in the alley and I can't find it. Can you help me look for it? It was my husband's ring, it's the only thing that I have left of him." She asked."Sure, okay. Lead the way." Ember put her car keys in her pocket and she followed the lady. She didn't fully trust the lady so to be safe, she s
"Why did you open the windows so early in the morning and in such weather?" Ember asked, pulling the blanket over her head. It was -5°C outside so it was too cold for her liking."Early? Honey, it's almost noon." Royal said with a slight chuckle."But it's still fucking cold, close the damn windows. Do you want me to die because of the cold?" She asked."So what do you plan on doing? Sleeping for the whole day? You have to try on the dresses today to find the perfect one to wear at Karen's party tomorrow night." He said. Ember pulled the blanket off her head, she quickly sat up on the bed."Why didn't you tell me?" She asked, getting off the bed quickly and she ran to the bathroom, Royal followed behind her."You knew.""Yes, but I forgot. You should have reminded me, you know that I have to find the perfect dress and I need time for that, I still have to pick the jewelry too." She took out her toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet."That's exactly what I did, I just reminded you." He
"What do you mean he's gone?" Axle asked. Karen had told Axle about Jaden going missing after a few hours of searching for him and not finding him."He's gone. He's been kidnapped." She said, running her hands through her hair."By who?""It was that woman, Jennifer or whatever her name is." Axle groaned. Karen knew that he probably thought that she was crazy for thinking that."Seriously? Karen, we've talked about this multiple times, that woman is not Ember, Ember is dead, we both know that. So please stop with this madness and focus on finding Jaden, I'll send out people to search for him. I can't believe that he disappeared under your care." Before Karen could say something he ended the call."Fuck!" Karen screamed. There was one place that she was yet to look at and was the Royal's mansion. She had to try her luck, if Jaden was with them then it could prove her suspicion that Jennifer is Ember and she will finally find a way to get rid of her for good, this time with no mistakes.
Three months had passed since her encounter with Jaden. She tried everything she could to get that moment out of her head. She overworked herself, worked out for long hours, went out and many other things, but nothing seemed to work. She was hurt, she was sad and angry as well. She was angry at Karen for taking her life from her, she was angry at Axle for not trusting her, for letting Karen take away everything that she loved and valued so much. But most importantly she was angry at herself.She allowed herself to love a man that didn't stand by her side at the end and fight for their love. But she knew deep down that blaming herself wasn't going to solve her problems, so the best thing to do was to just keep fighting for what she loved and wanted, and that was Jaden and to get revenge. Today was a Saturday so she had nothing to do. She took her iPad and she checked her schedule for the week. It was mostly empty except for Friday. It was Karen's birthday and she and Royal were invit
"Babe, are you done yet?" Royal asked, checking his watch. He has been waiting for almost an hour. Royal wasn't good at waiting at all, patience was something that he didn't have. It was 1 pm in the afternoon and they were supposed to have left thirty minutes ago, but since Ember takes forever to get ready (according to Royal) they couldn't go early. He still didn't understand why women took so much time to get ready."Just a moment!" She said. This was the third time that she was saying that. He hoped that it was just a moment instead of forever. It was hard for him to get used to it, no matter how hard he tried.After about five minutes, Ember walked down the stairs. She was wearing blue jean shorts, a pink thin strapped T-shirt, and blue sandals. She was tied into a tight and curly ponytail. "I am ready." She said. He had to admit, she looked great, even in simple clothing."You know with that much time that you took I thought that you were putting on makeup or something." He said
"Thank you for your time, I'll be in touch with you."Ember said, standing up from her chair. She shook hands with them and she walked out of the restaurant. Karen sat back down on her chair and she buried her head in her hands. She still refused to believe that the woman who had just left was Jennifer and not Ember. Since Ember's body was never found, it was hard to believe anything at the moment. She felt Axle's hands on her shoulders, she lifted her head, to look at him. She didn't realise that she was crying until he wiped her tears with his thumbs. "We should go." He said. She nodded her head and she stood up from the chair and they both walked out of the restaurant. She knew now that she had to find out the truth no matter what. She had worked so hard to get what she had now and she was not going to let anyone or anything take it all away from her no matter what. If this Jennifer became a threat to her, she would get rid of her, but first she had to keep an eye on her and monit
