"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
"Tell me, is it true?!"Ember asked."Y-yes, Ember I am really sorry."Diana said. She didn't know what to say to Ember to make things better. She knew that she had messed up, big time."Why? I loved you so much, I treated you like a sister."Ember cried. She didn't expect someone like Diana to do something like this to her."Ember, I am sorry. I let jealousy get the better of me."She said."Jealousy? So all these years you were pretending to be happy for me and Dean? Are you going to try and fuck with Axle too?"She asked."Ember, we were both drunk that night and I couldn't control myself because of the alcohol. I wanted to tell you what had happened but I couldn't, I have always liked Dean way before you guys started dating. I tried to be happy for you but I couldn't."She said, after saying those words Diana felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders."You are so fake, I can't believe that I treated someone like you so nicely. I have been a fool for all these years, you
Ember woke up to the light striking her face, she looked at the watch on the nightstand and she saw that it was 11:11am, she dragged herself off the bed and she made her way into the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower she made her way into her closet and she took out a blue mini dress with thin straps and black high heels. Today was the day that Ember got to pick her wedding dress. Their wedding was going to be held in a month, she was yet to be told where the wedding would be held. She had received a call from her future mother-in-law and she told her that she would meet her at the boutique.After twenty minutes Sophie arrived. "Hey girl."Sophie entered the apartment and she gave Ember a tight hug. Normally Diana would be present but after what had happened nobody talks to her anymore. She tried to reach out to Ember but she just ignored her. Ember thought that it was best for them to stop being friends because what Diana had done was something that was unforgivable,
Ember sat in the dressing room waiting patiently for Bella who went to get her a few dresses to try on and pick the one that she likes if there is one that she likes.After a few minutes Bella walked in with three dresses in her hands and she hung them on the hangers. "These are the dresses that I am pretty sure will match the standards of the Bolton family, I have asked Karen to help you out while I try to find more dresses for you."She said, Ember nodded her head in response even though she was against the idea of being in the same room with Karen. A few minutes after Bella left the room Karen got it in with a smile on her face. "Hello there Embere."Karen said, smiling at Ember. Ember could feel that that was not a good smile and that Karen was probably up to no good."Hello Karen."Ember said, smiling back at her."You know I wanted to apologise for what I said earlier and for not being nice to you on our first meeting. I hope that you can forgive me."She said looking at Ember. Emb
"Elias can I ask you something?"Payton asked, looking at Elias as they both got into the limo. Karen went back to her home a little earlier because of some 'business' she needed to attend to."Of course you can."He said."Do you like Ember?"She asked. Elias looked at her in shock. He was not expecting a question like that, especially coming from his own mother's mouth. "What do you mean? She's my little brother's fiancé."He said, shaking his head. "Elias, you are not answering my question. Do you like Ember or do you not like her?"She asked again. She had seen the way Elias looked and talked to Ember. He was flirting with her in an unnoticeable way but Payton being Payton could see through his actions and his words. "Mother, are you serious? Well to answer your question I do like her…but not like like her I do like her as a sister, now does that answer your question?"He asked. He did not look at his mother when talking which only made her more convinced that he was lying to her."E
Ember sat down in front of the mirror looking at her reflection that looked different from the other days she had looked at herself because today was the day that would change her life for good, today was the day that she finally gets married to Axle a man that she is still trying to figure out whether she loves him like she says she does or not, a man that could make her life better or worse so she just had to be ready for anything.She even knew that marrying him would make a lot of women hate her for life, especially Karen who never liked her even on their first meeting, so Karen was probably going to do anything to make her life as miserable as she probably can."Hey girl are you ready?"Sophie asked, walking into the room. She was wearing a long sequin swing sleeveless dress with a deep v-neck neck and yellow stiletto heels that she had bought for this occasion."I don't know, but I am super nervous. Is my family here yet?"She asked. She just hoped that her dad was at least here b
