Ember continued walking until.she was at least an hour away from the mansion. She checked the time on her phone and she saw that it was already 3am. She knew that she had to go back sooner, because it was already too late and she was shivering like crazy, but she believed that she still needed time.

She continued walking for about a few minutes and then a car stopped right in front of her. She instantly recognized that car, it belonged to Dean. The last person she wanted to see right now or at any time. Dean got out of his car, he had a smile on his face. Ember wondered what he could be doing on the streets so late at night. He walked closer to her and he just hugged her. Ember quickly pushed him off. "What the hell are you doing?"Ember asked.

"I am just glad to see you, Ember. Do you know how much I've missed you? What are you doing out here at this hour? Did you finally realise that that fool Axle is not good enough for you and you decided to get back together with me?"He asked. Emb

    "Axle. You don't believe this do you?"She asked, but Axle did not answer. Just when she needed him the most he decided not to stand up for her. Maybe she was wrong about him changing and falling in love with her."What more do you want from my son Ember? We get it he hurt you, but did you have to go out there in the streets at 3am and make out with someone else? I should have known that there was something going on between you and that man."Payton said, crying. Anyone could tell that her tears were fake, she was very excited because she was finally going to get her to leave."This isn't true. I only went out for a walk and I just happened to bump into him, and none of this actually happened. This is all a lie."She said. She could feel tears streaming down her face. She regretted not realising it anytime soon that Dean was up to something, but she didn't understand how he knew where she was at that time. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe not."Save it. I always knew that you were a s

    "Axle, are you sure about this?"Ember asked as they walked into the room. Axle was more than ready to leave."Yes. Ember I can't stand it when you are being treated like that. I just want you to be happy."He said, resting his hands on Ember's cheeks, he looked deep into her eyes. His eyes were full of life bow and his body was warm like a normal person's body. "But Axle I don't want to be the one to cause this separation of you from your family. I already have more than enough enemies, I don't want to add more."She said."Don't worry about that, you'll be safe as long as you are with me. I just want us to be together, Ember. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you. I don't want you to love here anymore. We need to be alone." He said. This was the first time that he had told her that he loved her truthfully. At first it was a lie but now it wasn't and Ember knew that too."Axle, I don't know about this. I do want to.leave, but not like this. Your mother probably hates

    After a few hours the car finally arrived at Axle's private villa. They both got out of the car, Ember was amazed at how big and beautiful it looked. It was mostly a glass house but you could not see what was inside the house. The house was surrounded by tall pine trees, it was very spacious on the front. "Welcome home."Axle said. "Do you like it?"He asked, looking at Ember who was not able to take her eyes off the surrounding."I love it. It's really beautiful."She said. "Come on, if you like it here then I am sure that you are going to love the inside."He said. Ember was sure that sge was going to love the inside of the house, she didn't need to be told if she was going to like it or not. They both made their way towards the double aluminum front door that was only seconds away from them. Axle opened the door for her so she could enter first. As soon as they entered, Ember's mouth widened, the interior was much better looking than the outside. "This place is really beautiful."Embe

    After Ember was done eating she went outside where she found Axle seated down on the chair. He was looking at the sky, she looked at his plate and it was empty. She was just thankful that he ate his food. She thought that he was not going to eat since he was mad at her. She took the plate and she made her way into the kitchen. She put the plate in the kitchen sink where she had put hers and the things that they had used to make the food. She turned the tap on and she poured some soap in the sink.She then turned the tap on as soon as the sink was filled with water. She then started washing the dishes. Axle entered the kitchen and he walked towards Ember. He then wrapped his arms around her waist. She almost jumped because he had taken her by surprise and she did not hear him enter. "Ember I am sorry about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have talked to you the way I did. I am sorry."He said."Axle, it's okay. I don't blame you, but you have to learn to listen to others sometimes."Sh

    After a few hours they finally arrived at the company. They both got out of the car. He intertwined his fingers with hers. He felt that her hands were shaking. "Are you nervous?"Axle asked. "Yeah but I'll be fine…I think that I am going to be okay as long as you are by my side."She said, smiling at him."Of course."He said, kissing her forehead. "Come on, let's go in."He said and they both walked in the tall building hand in hand. As soon as they entered all eyes were on them, mostly on Axle. They didn't even want to look at Ember because to them she was a disgusting woman that stole 'their man'. Ember didn't want to pay attention to them but she could just feel her eyes on her. Axle slightly squeezed her habd as soon as he noticed how they were looking at Ember. "Just ignore them."Axle said. Ember nodded her head. She tried her best to ignore them even though it was very hard.They made their way to into Axle's private elevator. As soon as the elevator doors closed, all the women th

    After Karen had been kicked out Axle went back to his office where he had left Ember with a huge file that contained all the information that she needed to know about the company(well most of it). He entered his office and he closed the door. He noticed that Ember was bored to death. He didn't blame her, it was boring going through all that but she had to because he had much bigger plans for her. Ember looked in his direction as soon as she noticed him. She was happy that he was back and that he would keep her busy instead of reading that huge boring file filled with words."Axle, where did you go?"She asked."I had to take care of some business downstairs."He said, kissing her on the cheek and then he sat down next to her. "That reminds me I am having a meeting with the board members of this company and I feel like that's the perfect opportunity to introduce you to them." He said."As your personal assistant?"She asked."No as something else."He said."Your wife?""No, you'll find ou

    "Axle this is crazy, you can't make a decision like that without telling me."Ember said, looking at Axle who was focused on the road. The meeting had ended and they were now heading back home. Most of the board members kept looking at Ember, but not in a kind way though. They worked very hard to get where they are but for someone to just jump to the top without experiencing all the hardships that one has to face before getting to the top, sounded like a joke to them. Axle didn't care about what they thought, he just cared about what he thought."Ember, I know that this is a crazy thing to do but it's what I want for you. I want you to be happy. I want you to be a part of everything in my life."He said."Axle, being your personal assistant is one thing but making me one of your company's major shareholders is something else. Now you just made me a lot more enemies. I am sure that those people want to bury me alive right now."She said. Axle knew that his decision had made Ember a lot of

    Days had passed since Axle and Ember moved out of the mansion. Things have been going well for them, but not everything. Ever since Ember became a part of the company, a lot of people started hating her. They would spread lies about her and even post things about her on social media, but she just ignored them because she figured that that was something that she was never going to stop from happening. If you shut one person up then there will always be another one to talk. So she just ignored it all. She just focused on her life.Today Axle and Ember decided to go to the park just to relax. They have been quite busy so they needed to relax a bit. Ember laid a cloth on the grass so that they could sit. They both sat down, looking at the people that were walking around. It was a Tuesday so it wasn't full because most people were either at work or school. Only a few people were there. Some were taking walks and were just sitting down like them. As they were seated, they saw a pregnant wo

    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
