"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
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
"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
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 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
"OH my gosh I can't believe that I am finally done with college." Ember said walking into her apartment. Ember hated school and she could not wait to graduate from college but she knew that she wasn't going to rest after graduating from college, she had to go job hunting.She entered her bedroom. She had a long day, her family took her out to have lunch and celebrate her graduation, and she might have used up all her energy. She decided to take a shower so she can finally get to bed and rest. .After taking a shower she walked out of the bathroom she found her phone ringing on the bed, she looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her boyfriend Dean whom she's been dating for four years. She answered the call. "Hey babe." She said drying her hair with her pink towel. "Hey... Is it okay if we meet up now?" He asked. From the sound of his voice Ember could tell that something was not right. "Uhm yeah, I'll just get dressed, so where should we meet?"She asked. "We can meet at the par
"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 becaus
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
