"What! But why?"Diana asked.

"I can't say I didn't see that one coming." Sophie said. Diana gave her a death glare and she just shrugged her shoulders looking away.

"He said that he didn't love me anymore and that he had found someone else and that person is already pregnant with his child."She said, wiping her tears.

"So in other words that asshole cheated on you"Sophie said and Ember nodded her head in response. "Do you know where he is now? My hands are itching right now."Sophie said, rubbing her hands together.

"You know what for once I agree with you Sophie, that idiot deserves a beating."Diana said.

"Guys what's the point, I just want something that will keep my mind off him right now."Ember said.

"Fine, but if I bump into him I won't spare his ugly face,"Sophie said.

"Let's go to that bar that just opened recently." Diana suggested.

"I don't drink and you guys know that." Ember said. Sophie rolled her eyes at her, she still didn't understand why Ember didn't drink because according to Sophie, alcohol was all a person needed to get rid of all their worries.

"Alright uhm… OH yeah, there is a party at the McMahon mansion right now, we can actually go there I am sure that it will keep your mind off that annoying asshole.''Sophie said.

"Wait, but isn't the McMahon family, like the richest family in the continent? Besides none of us are invited, only VIP's get invited to their party.''Diana said.

"Second richest family, the richest family in the continent is the Bolton family, I have the invitation cards with me, as to how or where I got them from is a story for another day. Come on, let's go and get dressed. Don't worry about the outfits, I already have outfits, just like they always say 'stay ready so you don't have to get ready''' Sophie said smiling. Diana still didn't trust her because the last thing that Diana wanted was to get into trouble. "Guy's stop staring at me, come on let's go." Sophie said. Without a choice both Ember abd Diana stood up and followed their friend to who knows where.

"Are you sure that we won't get ourselves kicked out?"Ember asked. They were now at the entrance of the mansion where the party was held. Dean had already ruined her day and she didn't want her day to become much worse than it already was.

"Girls chill, we are going to be okay."Sophie said, but Diana and Amber still didn't trust her but who knows maybe things might end up going well for them and they might end up having the time of their life. So they both got out of the car and they made their way into the huge mansion that was worth millions of dollars.

When they got in, both Ember and Diana were in awe, their Jaws dropped because of what they were seeing. This place was decorated in green and gold, the chandeliers on the white ceiling were made out of real gold and diamonds. Who on earth would spend so much on a chandelier. The floor tile was crystal white and looked smooth. Anyone could slip and fall if they were not careful. The stairs and walls were decorated in green and gold lights that made the whole place shine. And the guests were wearing clothes that not everyone could afford.you could tell from the way they were dressed that none of them looked like they were ordinary people with ordinary jobs, they were indeed VIP'S.

"Are you sure that we should be here?"Diana asked, still not too sure about the idea of them coming into a place like this one.

"Guys come on, let's just go and enjoy ourselves, stop asking me meaningless questions. I want to enjoy the night, you guys should enjoy it too, so have fun."Sophie said leaving the two women alone.

"So, what do we do now?"Ember asked.

"Just enjoy yourself like she said, I am going to search for someone I am going to take home with me."Diana said and she left. Ember was now all alone.

Ember could not believe it, her two best nest friends had just left her here all by herself avd the worst part is that she didn't know anyone. She thought that maybe walking around the place would help her out. So she just walked to the hall where most of the guests were gathered, most of them were in groups and they were chatting, probably about their lifestyles. She made her way to the area where the food was and she helped herself to a piece of strawberry cake that looked fresh out of the oven.

As she was eating a man came and he stood behind her tapping her on her shoulder. She put the plate down abd she turned around wanting to see who it was, and she met the icy blue eyes of what seemed to be an angel that just descended from heaven. He had long black silky hair, a cupid nose and cherry lips, thick eyebrows and a perfect square jar. Ember was speechless, this man was just perfect. 'OH please ask me to marry you.'She thought to herself. 'Oh God what am I even thinking, who in their right mind would marry a stranger.'She asked herself.

"Hello young miss, my name is Axle. I was hoping we could go to the dance together. What do you think?"he asked. His voice was deep but welcoming. Ember nodded her head in response, still not able to say anything.

They both made their way to the dance floor and they started dancing.The music was soft as they danced the time away. She could feel him staring at her but she was too nervous and shy to look at him, she was afraid of losing herself and doing something she might or might not regret. Instead of looking at his eyes she looked at their moving feet, it's a good thing that her sister tought her how to dance. "Why aren't you looking at me?"He asked her.

"Uhm…I."She tried to talk but she still couldn't.

"It's okay if you are shy, it's not a bad thing."He said still not taking his eyes off her."But can you at least try to look at me, you should get used to it since you will be spending the rest of your life with me."He said. Ember looked up at him , still processing what he had just said.

"What do you mean?"She asked. He then let go of her waist abd ge reached out in his pocket abd he took about a small box, he then kneeled down in front of her. "Ember James, will you marry me?"He asked.

    Ember looked around her thinking that Maybe he was asking someone else to marry him, not her. She saw that everyone was looking at them, they had all stopped what they were doing, they were all looking at them. She looked back at him waiting for him to tell her that he was joking, but he wasn't. He looked serious. "Me?"She asked and he nodded his head slowly. She saw Sophie who was standing at the far corner with a man, she was nodding her head in excitement and mouthing 'say yes'. This was something that she was not expecting. First she got dumped by her boyfriend and now a stranger is kneeling in front of her asking her to marry him. Was this a beautiful dream or a nightmare? She just didn't know what it was.Ember could hear her inner voice telling her to say yes, but she wasn't too sure. 'Maybe wishes do come true, I just wished for him to ask me to marry him.and now he was actually doing it.'She mentally told herself. She was only admiring his looks and her wishing for him to ma

    The next morning Ember woke up feeling exhausted, she only arrived at her apartment at around 1am and she went to bed at 3am because she stayed on the phone with Sophie, who was still trying to explain to her who Axle Bolton exactly was. Ember still didn't understand why it was so important for her to know him because he was not God. He was just a normal human just like anyone else. The only difference is that he was super attractive and that he had a lot more money than anyone could ever imagine. Ember dragged herself into her shower and she took.a shower. After taking a shower, she got dressed and she went into the kitchen to make herself some cereal. After making the cereal she sat down on her couch, as she was about to eat her phone rang. She checked the caller ID only to see that it was her mother. 'Could things get any worse?' She asked herself, but she answered the call even though she did not want to talk to her at all."Hello,"She said. Even from.the sound of her voice, one

    Both Ember and Axle made their way into the restaurant. It was indeed new and beautiful. It had a black crystal floor tile, a white ceiling with white chandeliers that had yellow dim lights on them, there were a bunch of small black and white round tables around which were filled with people. They made their way upstairs to the quiet area that had only one table and nobody was there. Axle pulled out a chair for Ember and sge mouthed thank you sitting down on the chair. After she sat down he went over his chair that was across her from the table and he sat down. "I have already ordered food for us."He said. Ember nodded her head with a smile on her face.'He really is new to this.'She said to herself. "What if I don't like the food that you've ordered?"Ember asked."That's impossible because I have ordered your favorite dishes,"He said."Okay. Alright that's creepy, first of all I know nothing about you, it was my first time seeing you last night but you knew my name, then now you know

    She rolled her eyes as he approached her slowly. He stopped in front of her, Ember already had her fists ready to give him a good beating. Even her feet were ready to kick his ass. "I have very limited time so start talking."She said."Ember, I know that I am probably the last person you want to see right now…"Ember cut him off before he could finish."You are not probably the last person I want to see. You are the THING that I DON'T want to see. Does your soon to be baby mama know that you are here?"She asked."No…Ember look, Axle is not good for you. You deserve better than him, he is just a rich playboy and he is just going to leave you once he is fed up with you."Dean said."Just like you left me because you no longer had feelings for me? Not all men are assholes like you. Just because I came across a dead fish, doesn't mean that all the fish in the river are all dead. So please don't waste your energy."Ember said.

    "See this guy isn't worth it."Dean said but Ember didn't even bother to listen to him, she just told herself that it was all nothing but a misunderstanding, there is no way that he would just propose to her while he had a girlfriend or maybe that whole proposal thing was just a prank.and he forgot to tell her that he was just pulling her leg. She closed her eyes taking a deep breath and she opened them again, she watched them as they made their way to Axle's car still holding hands.Ember felt like she was about to explode, this dickhead Dean had just dumped her and now her new fiancé or whatever you wanna call it was here with another woman, and there was no that this could be some sort of misunderstanding, just why exactly is God being like this with her, her life was already going down and now it felt like it was rushing down."Axle!"She shouted and Axle turned his head to see who was calling her and he saw Ember, he didn't seem to be afraid or nervous he just made his way towards

    "You know you didn't have to be like that with her, I wouldn't mind sitting at the back."Ember said looking at Axle who was focused on driving."You are my fiancé and we'll be getting married soon and she has to learn how to treat you with respect,"He said."I know that, but what if she hates me now?"Ember asked."It's okay, she'll be fine. She does this all the time,"he said."You know you are making it sound like it's just something normal, she's your best friend and I don't want to get in between you and your friendship."She said."Can we not talk about her now.''He said and Ember just kept quiet and she looked outside of the window. The road was busy as always, there were a lot of cars on the road but not too many to cause a traffic jam. Sometimes she wondered where she would be if she hadn't met Axle after Dean dumped her, she would probably be still crying over him, or going out to drink every night even though she doesn't drink, she just hoped that she wouldn't regret saying ye

    "Axle, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"Ember asked."You-"Axle was cut off before he could finish his sentence. "Axle,Look at you, you look even more handsome in person, my daughter is really lucky. My name is Catherine and I am her mother." She said extending her hand out for him to shake and he shook it even though he did not want to."Nice to meet you."He said, trying his best to fake a smile. Ember could tell that Axle didn't like her mother."Axle, come let's sit down."She said pointing at the couch. She had never sat on it before but she assumed that it was probably uncomfortable. "Uhm, sorry I am actually in a hurry, I just came here to drop something off."He said, taking out a gold bracelet from the right pocket of the black jeans that he was wearing. "You left it in my car last night."He said. Ember could see Catherine wiggling her eyebrows at her, she was probably thinking that they had had sex in his car, but that was not the case at all."OH, I have some

    They both laid down on the bed quietly after their third session, well two and a half because the first one was a ended a little earlier than the other two. Axle caressed her back and Ember just enjoyed the sound of his heart that was beating really fast and his chest was rising and falling faster. "Ember."Axle said, he was still facing the crystal white ceiling above them. "Yes?""Do you trust me?"He asked. Ember lifted her head and she sat up from the bed and then she looked at him, she was confused. She didn't know why he was suddenly asking her such a question."Why do you ask?"She asked still looking at him. He sat up straight."Just answer my question."He said. He didn't look like he was joking or anything. He had a serious look on his face."I don't get it. Is there something you are hiding from me?"She asked. Axle looked down at his hands."No."He said trying to avoid eye contact with her. Ember could feel that something was not right but she just decided to brush that feelin

    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.

    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
