Ember sat in the dressing room waiting patiently for Bella who went to get her a few dresses to try on and pick the one that she likes if there is one that she likes.After a few minutes Bella walked in with three dresses in her hands and she hung them on the hangers. "These are the dresses that I am pretty sure will match the standards of the Bolton family, I have asked Karen to help you out while I try to find more dresses for you."She said, Ember nodded her head in response even though she was against the idea of being in the same room with Karen. A few minutes after Bella left the room Karen got it in with a smile on her face. "Hello there Embere."Karen said, smiling at Ember. Ember could feel that that was not a good smile and that Karen was probably up to no good."Hello Karen."Ember said, smiling back at her."You know I wanted to apologise for what I said earlier and for not being nice to you on our first meeting. I hope that you can forgive me."She said looking at Ember. Emb
"Elias can I ask you something?"Payton asked, looking at Elias as they both got into the limo. Karen went back to her home a little earlier because of some 'business' she needed to attend to."Of course you can."He said."Do you like Ember?"She asked. Elias looked at her in shock. He was not expecting a question like that, especially coming from his own mother's mouth. "What do you mean? She's my little brother's fiancé."He said, shaking his head. "Elias, you are not answering my question. Do you like Ember or do you not like her?"She asked again. She had seen the way Elias looked and talked to Ember. He was flirting with her in an unnoticeable way but Payton being Payton could see through his actions and his words. "Mother, are you serious? Well to answer your question I do like her…but not like like her I do like her as a sister, now does that answer your question?"He asked. He did not look at his mother when talking which only made her more convinced that he was lying to her."E
Ember sat down in front of the mirror looking at her reflection that looked different from the other days she had looked at herself because today was the day that would change her life for good, today was the day that she finally gets married to Axle a man that she is still trying to figure out whether she loves him like she says she does or not, a man that could make her life better or worse so she just had to be ready for anything.She even knew that marrying him would make a lot of women hate her for life, especially Karen who never liked her even on their first meeting, so Karen was probably going to do anything to make her life as miserable as she probably can."Hey girl are you ready?"Sophie asked, walking into the room. She was wearing a long sequin swing sleeveless dress with a deep v-neck neck and yellow stiletto heels that she had bought for this occasion."I don't know, but I am super nervous. Is my family here yet?"She asked. She just hoped that her dad was at least here b
Morning Mrs Bolton."Axle said in his sleepy voice. He looked at Ember as she slowly opened her eyes. "Morning. How long have you been staring at me?"She asked."I don't know, maybe longer than half an hour."He said. He looked at the clock that was on the nightstand and he noticed that it was 7:35am. "You are late."He said."Late?"She asked. "Well according to the rules which I am sure you weren't told, the women of this family are expected to be downstairs at 7am sharp."Je said."What? And you are only telling me this now? You know your dad doesn't like me one bit, you could have at least told me this."She said sitting up from the fastly. She was starting to panic, it was her first day at the house as a daughter-in-law and the last thing that she wanted was to make a bad impression of herself. "Sorry, my mom is the one who was supposed to tell you, not me."He said. "Forget about it, let's go take a shower so that we can join everyone for breakfast."He said. He got up from the bed a
Have a seat."John said pointing at the chair that was in front of his study table as he sat on the chair that was behind his study table."Well first of all how are you?"He asked."I am doing well, I guess. I am just trying to adjust to my new life."She said with a nervous smile on her face. "That's good to hear. I am glad that you are not feeling uncomfortable whatsoever. I called you here because there is something important that I need to talk to you about." He said."What is it?""From my perspective you don't look like someone who can survive the life that you just stepped in."He said."What do you mean?"She asked."You are not strong enough, even though I allowed my son to go on with this marriage doesn't mean that I am happy with it. I only allowed the two of you to get married so that my son won't marry Karen. Here take this."He said taking out a few papers that were stapled together from his drawer."What is this?"She asked."It's a contract. I will only let you be married to
"Dean, someone's at the door!" Diana said. "Alright I'll go and check."He said as he walked down the stairs and he made his way to the front door where the doorbell was being rang violently. "Don't you know how to ring a doorbell properly?"He asked as he opened the door. He thought that it was one of those teenagers who rang the bell and then ran away after he opened the door, but it was not them, it was Karen."Sorry, my name is Karen by the way I am looking for Dean Evans, is he here?"She asked."Yeah that's me, how may I help you?"He asked, leaning on the doorway."It is something regarding Ember and Axle, but I think that it is better if we sit down first."She said."Sorry lady but I don't know you, so please leave."He said. He had tried to get Ember back but it did not work out, so he had just given up and now his focus was only on Diana and his unborn baby."What if I told you that Axle married Ember for a reason and not love and I know that reason. Ember doesn't know that, she
Ember woke up sweating like crazy. She looked at her right side and she noticed that Axle was still sleeping. She looked at the clock on the wall and she noticed that it was only 2am, it was still dark outside. It was her nightmare again. It kept coming back over and over again. The last time she had that dream was when she was ten years old and for those nightmares to come back now meant something. She quietly got up from the bed because she did not want to wake Axle up. She walked towards the small fridge that was at the corner of the room near the door. She opened it and she took out a bottle of water and she drank half of the water and then she put the bottle back in the fridge. She then walked to the balcony to get some fresh air and maybe try to forget about the bad dream.She looked up at the sky that was filled with stars. She closed her eyes and then she took a deep breath. The cold breeze made her body shiver, she was only wearing a short-sleeved knee length night dress. "B
The piercing sound of the alarm clock brought Ember back from the dead of sleep. She groaned checking the time on the clock and it was 6:30am. That's the time that she was supposed to wake up every single day. She was still trying to get used to it. She turned and she saw Axle who was still fast asleep. He looked so peaceful and angelic. His hair was all over his face. Ember extended her hand to remove the hair on his face but before she could do it, Axle slowly opened his eyes. "Morning."He said. Looking at her. "Morning."She replied. Axle stretched his hands and then he sat up leaning on the headboard with his back. He sighed looking up at the ceiling. "Hey are you mad at me?"He asked. "No, why do you ask?"She asked. "About last night. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."He said. "Why did you react the way that you did?"She asked. "I don't want to have kids."He said. Ember sat up and she looked at him. That was a shock because that was not what he had told her before they
