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
Ember walked down the hallway quietly. Her heart was racing and her palms were sweating. She felt like she was going to collapse on the ground. She stopped in front of the door that led to Axle's parents' bedroom.They had called her and told her that they wanted to see her, from the sound of their voices Ember could tell that it was nothing good. She took a deep breath and she knocked on the door. She then heard them saying 'come in'. She opened the door and there she saw Axle's parents who were seated in the room. They watched her as she walked in. The looks that they were giving her made her body tremble in fear."Sit down."Payton said, pointing at the chair that was across the room. Ember nodded her head and she went there and she sat down on the chair. "Ember I am sure that you are wondering why we called you here."John said, Ember nodded her head. Payton stood up and she walked towards the nightstand, she opened the drawer and she took out some papers that were stapled together
Ember sat down on the kitchen chair, her heart was racing as she was about to open the file. It's like there was a voice in her head that was telling her not to open the file but her body just moved on its own. She opened the file and she started reading it.It said that Axle and his twin brother were born with the same disease that caused them to not be like any other normal child. Their heart rate was faster than normal, their bodies would be a lot colder sometimeswhich forced them to stay in the hospital until they were four years old. They were discharged because they looked like they were getting better, but it got worse when they were in kindergarten so their parents looked for a doctor who could treat them and they found one but he lived outside of the country so they had to take them there.As soon as they arrived at that country they were both taken to the doctor but Axle's twin brother died before the treatment even started. That made their parents lose hope, they thought t
