The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal Chapter 49
It was 5pm and Sophie stood up from the chaise lounge. It was already getting late. Since it was winter it was starting to get dark. They had only drank half of the bottle of wine. She took her handbag, she opened it and she put the bottle of wine in. Ember was not surprised. Sophie would take anything if she got the chance. As long as it was something that she could not afford and she got to have a taste of it for free. Ember stood up with wobbly legs. Her alcohol tolerance wasn't very good. The wine was just too strong for her. She got drunk just by drinking two glasses. On the other hand Sophie looked okay, she looked like she was sober."I'll see you some other time."Ember said. Even from the way that she was talking one could tell that she was drunk. She tried to be steady but her knees were weak. "Yeah. Make sure that you get another bottle of expensive wine for me." Sophie said. They both hugged and Sophie made her way out, while Ember tried to reach the living room. As soon a

The next morning Ember woke up, took a shower, and got dressed. She then made her way downstairs into the dining room where she found Axle who was already seated and having breakfast. "Good morning." She said, giving him a peck on the lips and then she sat down next to him."Morning." He replied. "Are you going somewhere today?"He asked. She looked like she was in a bit of a rush."Yeah, I am going to see my dad at the hospital today. I just want to hear what he's going to tell me about the whole situation." She said, serving herself breakfast."Do you need me to come with you?" He asked."No, I'll be fine."She said."Are you sure?"He asked."Yeah, I am sure. There is no need for you to worry about me or anything. If anything happens I'll give you a call."She said, smiling at him."Okay." He said and then they both ate their breakfast quietly. —--------------------After a few hours, Ember got out of the car. She closed the car door and walked towards the hospital building. It has be

I knew that your mother was evil, but this. I don't know, are you sure that she's not the devil's sibling?" Sophie asked. She almost jumped off her seat when Ember told her about what her mother intended on doing to her father. "Yeah, I know. I just have to figure out a way to get my dad out of there before Tuesday." She said."Did you talk to Axle about it?" Sophie asked."No, not yet. I'll tell him when I get home, I hope that I can find a way to save my dad. I don't think that I bear the pain of losing him. He's like the only parent that cares about me." Ember said. She could tears starting to form in her eyes. She just shook her head and she shut her eyes. She didn't want to cry, not now at least. She had to save her dad then she was going to cry later after all of this was over. "OH I almost forgot to mention. I bumped into someone named Royal McIntire at the hospital." She said. As soon as she mentioned his name, she could see Sophie's eyes light up with excitement. "Are you s

Ember parked her car outside Axle's villa. She sat in the car, trying to calm down and collect herself. That letter that she had found on her car got to her and Royal's words, too. Sophie said that Royal was never wrong, so was he not wrong about what he had told her, too? She tried to tell herself that nothing was going to happen in her life now and that Karen was out of it, but she knew deep down that Karen wasn't the kind of person who would back down from a fight that easily and she had to be prepared for anything.She opened the bottle of water that she kept in her car, and she drank the water from it, all of it. She just wanted to try and calm down, but she couldn't. There was just a lot going on in her life right now. First, her mother was planning to kill her father, and she had until Tuesday to stop her and save him, and now this weird letter. It was a bit too much for her.She checked the time on her phone and she saw that it was 5:33 pm. Axle was not back yet. She still had

Ember parked her car outside the building that Catherine said she was in. It did look like an abandoned building. There was no one around. It was empty and dark. The only light that you could see was the street lights, but in this section, there was only one working street light. The other one was broken. The building that she had parked outside of looked tall. Most of the windows were broken. It looked like an old apartment building. She took a deep breath, she checked her phone to see if Axle had texted her back but he didn't. She might have to do it on her own now. She took her phone and she got out of the car.She entered the building. There were dust, dirt, and broken glasses on the floor and some spider webs too. She saw the staircase. She now had to walk to the last floor, which was going to take her a while to get there. If only the elevator was still working, she wouldn't have to worry, but she wasn't doing this for herself, she was doing it for her dad, so she had to be st

"Mom, you are going to be okay. Just hold on." She said as the doctors pulled the hospital bed that Catherine was in the operating room. Ember walked into the waiting room and sat down on one of the chairs that were there. Axle walked in after a few minutes. Ember didn't notice him walking in because she had her hands buried in her hands. They hadn't said a word to each other ever since they left that place. Ember has been too focused on her mother. Axle sat down next to her. Ember raised her head as soon as she felt someone sitting next to her. "What do you want?" She asked, her eyes were red from all the crying."Ember I am sorry, I didn't-" He was cut off before he could finish his sentence."You are sorry? You can't be serious right now. You just shot my mother deliberately and you are saying that you are sorry?" She asked, shaking her head."Ember, I know how much you love your dad. I had to do it to save him." He said."By shooting my mother. Couldn't you have done something el

"Ember you should go in first, you guys need to be alone." Sophie said as they both stood outside the ward that Catherine was in. Ember nodded her head slowly. She opened the door and there she saw Catherine lying on the bed, with her eyes closed. She looked so peaceful, like she had no problem in the world. Ember walked closer to her and she dragged a chair that was near the wall, she put it next to the bed and then she sat down. Catherine opened her eyes as soon as she heard the sound.Her eyes met with her daughter's eyes, Ember saw a weak smile forming on Catherine's face and a few tears falling down her eyes. Ember held Catherine's hand into hers. "Mom." She said, missing her hand."Ember… you are here." Catherine said. She sounded very weak, which was normal since she had just had a surgery."Mom, I am so sorry. For all these years I blamed you for everything, mommy please forgive me. I am so sorry." Ember cried. Catherine lifted her other hand and sge placed it over Ember's hea

Visiting hours were over so Ember had to leave. She hadn't talked to Axle ever since she told him to leave. She got into her car and closed the door. She took out her phone and unlocked it and saw that there were a bunch of texts from Axle.1st text:Ember please answer my calls. I am getting worried.2nd text:I know that you are mad at me but please answer my calls or my text.3rd text: Ember, it's been three hours now, is your mom okay? The texts went on and on. She just put her phone in her handbag and she put it on the passenger's seat. She sighed, she thought about Sophie's words, and she knew deep down that she was right. Axle did what he thought was right, she probably would have done the same thing if she were in his shoes, but it was also understandable for her to be mad at him for shooting her mother.She drove out of the driveway and she waved at Sophie who told her that she was waiting for someone to pick her up, but she did not tell her who. She then drove off to Axle's vi

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
