The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal Chapter 29
Ember stood there waiting for Axle to give her the answer that she wanted to hear,but he just looked down on the ground. He wanted to tell her the truth but it felt like the words were stuck in his throat. His heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to come out of his chest. He took a deep breath and he looked up.at the ceiling. "What do you want me to tell you? I told you why last night. Didn't I?"He asked."Then that's not a good enough reason to convince me to stay."She said, wiping her tears."I don't have any other reason."He said."Then why are you avoiding eye contact with me?"She asked."It's just that I…"He couldn't finish his sentence because he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He put his hand over his chest and he knelt down on the floor. "Dammit!"He said, breathing heavily."What's wrong?"Ember asked, kneeling down in front of him. She put her hands on his cheeks. "J-just call for help."He said. The pain seemed to be getting worse by the second.

Ember took her suitcase and she walked back upstairs. She didn't know whether she should go to her room or go back to Axle's room now that he was not feeling well. She was angry at him but she was worried about him at the same time. She figured that it was not a hard decision to make so she decided to go back to his room. She walked on the hallway towards his room, but as she was about to put her hand on the door handle Payton slapped her hand away."What are you doing here?"She asked."I want to unpack my stuff."She said."Did you forget where your room is?"She asked."I want to sleep in this room again."She said."No, this is my son's room not yours. You were given your own room, so go to that room."She said."I want to sleep here so that I can look after my husband."She said. Payton rolled her eyes, if it were up to her then she would have kicked Ember out of the mansion, but she knew that she was the only one that could save her son so she couldn't. "He's my son so you are not al

Ember sat outside on a bench. She took out her phone and she called Sophie's number. "Hello"Ember said."Hey Ember, how are you doing?" Sophie asked. The last time they spoke was when Ember went to meet with her, they hadn't yanked since then so Sophie did not know about what was happening now."I don't know, Sophie."She said."What do you mean?"She asked. She was starting to get worried now, maybe that's because she thought of the worst happening to her."Well, you see I had made my decision that I was leaving today but I couldn't. Axle broke the bank card that his mother gave me, because she was very happy that I had finally taken the decision to leave her son. He begged me to stay but he still did not give me a reason that I wanted to hear because he suddenly fell to the ground."She said."Alright first of all you are not good at explaining a certain situation, second, what the fuck do you mean, by him falling on the ground?"She asked. She was starting to panic now, she just hoped

It was noon the next day, Ember and Payton sat in the living room waiting for Dr Lee to arrive. Axel's father left early in the morning because he had something that needed his attention at his company, but he promised that he was going to be back a little earlier than usual.Ember was shaking in fear, the fear of knowing now that Dr Lee was the same doctor that tried to take advantage of her three years ago. This has been on her mind since the previous day. She only slept for two hours last night. She kept on thinking about everything, her heart was racing for almost the entire night. She was sweating, even though the air conditioner was on. She tried telling herself that it was a different Dr Lee but she was not going to know until she looked at him properly, but even if he was that Dr Lee, who was she going to tell? Because it's not like they were going to believe her without solid proof. The police did not believe her either, so nobody was going to believe her now.A few minutes

Ember woke up with her body feeling heavy. She had a killer headache too. She had been feeling like this ever since Dr Lee injected those herbs into her. She had told him that she was sick but he just said that it was nothing to worry about and that it would go away in no time, but it has already been three days now. He had given her some pills for the headache but they only worked for a day and then the next morning she would wake up with the headache and her body would be heavy and exhausted too.Ember looked at the right side of the bed and she noticed that Axle was still sleeping. Axle had to stay in bed until Dr Lee said so. Ember did not like it though, but she had no choice. Axle was unable to walk properly now so he had to use a wheelchair if he wanted to go somewhere, which was something that made Ember worry even more about him. It just made her question if Axle was going to be normal again after the treatment.He looked so peaceful when sleeping. His skin wasn't pale anymor

Ember walked into the room with a tray that has plates that were filled with of food in her hands. She put the tray on the small table in front of the couches. She then went into the bathroom, where she found Axle tying his robe while leaning on the kitchen sink. He looked like he was struggling but not much. "Do you need a hand?"Ember asked, walking closer to him."Well I could need help walking back into the room."Axle said, smiling weakly. Ember walked closer to him and she helped him to walk back into the room and she helped him to sit on the couch."I'll go and get your body lotion and your clothes."Ember said and she stood up from the couch. She made her way into the closet and she took a white t-shirt, grey shorts and the body lotion. She walked back into the room and she put the clothes on the bed. "You forgot my underwear again."He said."Sorry, I'll go and get it."She said and then she ran back into the closet, she opened the drawer where he kept his underwear and she took

THREE WEEKS LATER"OH look who's back."Payton said rolling her eyes as soon as she saw Ember entering the house. "Hood evening mother-in-law. It'ssuch a beautifulevening isn't it?"Ember said with a smile on her face, probably doing it to annoy Payton. Payton just shook her head."Of course you would say that."Payton said."And what is that supposed to mean?"She asked."You know I remember that you told me that I was a horrible mother a few weeks ago, but now I don't know who's horrible between the two of us."She said. Ember looked confused."I still don't understand what you are trying to say."Ember said."Today was the day that Dr Lee was supposed to start with the treatment but you decided to wake up in the morning and just go out with your friends. You are lucky that Dr Lee was able to keep Axle alive for the time that you were gone."Payton said. Ember had completely forgotten that it was the day. If she had remembered then she wouldn't have gone out with Sophie for the high schoo

Axle laid down on the bed panting while Ember rested her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. She moved her finger around Axle's Sixpack. His body still felt cold but Ember tried as hard as she possibly could to ignore it. She just wanted to lay there and enjoy the moment. "How do you have so much energy even when you are not well?"Ember asked."I don't know… Ember can I ask you something?"Axle asked, moving his hand up and down her head slowly and smoothly."Yeah, go ahead."She said."Do you still love me?"He asked. Ember was a bit taken back, she was not expecting Axle to ask her that question. She sat up straight on the bed and she looked at him. He looked at her waiting for her to give him an answer, but she was not sure. She had never asked herself that question, so she didn't think about it. She didn't know if she loved him, if she genuinely loved him, she was not sure what it is that she felt for Axle now, whether it was love, hatred or something else."I…''She paused

Ember 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.
The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal Chapter 83
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
