"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. "Ember, listen to me he is not right for you, he just wants to to
"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
