Axle sat outside in the car, waiting impatiently for Ember and Catherine. Today was the day that she got discharged from the hospital and she was going to live with them until she was fully healed then Axle would find a place for her to stay. He tapped on the steering wheel as he hummed to the song that was playing on the radio. He kept on checking his watch every second, it was not like he had anywhere to be, he just hated waiting.After what felt like centuries to him, Ember and Catherine walked out of the front door of the hospital. He let out a breath of relief. Ember opened the car door for Catherine and she got in the car, she gave her her bag that had the stuff that she was using while she was in the hospital. Ember then closed the door for her and she went and sat on the passenger's seat. "Took you long enough," Axle said as soon as Ember sat next to him.Ember kissed him on the cheek and then she said. "OH come on. I was in there for less than twenty minutes, you are just ver
It was 9pm and it was raining heavily. Ember walked into the house with a gift box in her hands. She closed the door, took off her wet shoes and put them on the side. The house was quiet which was normal since all the maids and servants had already left and the only one who would be awake would be the butler, Catherine had gone to be as well. As she walked further into the house she noticed that the refrigerator was opened and that there was someone in the kitchen.She already guessed who it would be. She walked towards the kitchen and to no one's surprise Axle was in there boiling some water to make a cup of strong coffee. "Would it hurt to go a day without drinking that strong coffee?" Ember asked, entering the kitchen."I didn't see you there, what's that?" He asked, pointing at the gift box that Ember was carrying."It's a gift for you." She said. She put the gift box in front of him on the kitchen counter. "You rarely buy me a gift, so what's the occasion?" He asked. Ember rol
Ember finished showering and she made her way downstairs. She was met by a mouth-watering smell that was coming from the kitchen, it just made her hungry instantly. She walked into the kitchen and she found Axle cooking. He did say he was going to monitor everything that she is but he Said nothing about him being the one to cook the food, so Ember was a bit surprised because she thought that he had gone to his study to get busy with work. She stood at the doorway, leaning her body there. She watched Axle cook, he didn't look in her direction at all, so sge thought thar he didn't notice her.She noticed that the mug that she had bought him was still at the kitchen counter. It was only half filled with coffee,so he had been cooking while drinking his coffee too. She wondered what he was making. She wanted to go and take a look so badly. "You know you can just come here and take a look instead of killing yourself with curiosity." He said, but he still did not look in her direction. "I t
Karen parked her car outside a mansion that was located near the forest right outside of the city. She took her purse and she got out of the car, closing the door. She walked towards the iron gates. To her luck they were open and there seemed to be no one standing guard. She walked in and she closed the gate. She walked towards the glass door and she knocked on it. After a few seconds the door opened. "Karen, what a pleasant surprise." Royal said, looking at Karen. He was only wearing a blue robe and his hair was dripping with water. He had just come out of the pool and he didn't dry his hair. Karen rolled her eyes at him. "Come on in." He said. He opened the door wide enough for her to enter. He led her to the living room. "Have a seat." He said pointing at the couch. "So, what brings you here? Did you miss me so much that you had to come here instead of giving me a call?" He asked, winking at her. "Cut the crap. Why did you come back?" She asked. "This is my home country." He sai
FIVE YEARS LATER"Mommy! Mommy!" Jaden said , jumping on the bed. Ember sighed, she had forgotten to lock the door again. She opened her eyes, she looked at the clock on the wall and she realized that it was only 6:20 am and her son was already awake and jumping on her bed. She looked to the right side and she noticed that Axle was not there, so he might have left already. She sat up from the bed."Come here." She said, Jaden sat down on her lap and he hugged her tightly. "Tell me, why do you have to ruin my sleep all the time." She asked. Jaden looked exactly like Axle, it's like he was a mini version of him, the looks and the behavior too."I never ruin your sleep. I just want to be with mommy." He said, kissing her on the cheek."Why not ruin daddy's sleep?" She asked. She saw him flinch. Axle had a no-nonsense attitude towards Jaden, that's why he would never ruin Axle's sleep. Every time he would get into trouble, he would beg Ember not to tell Axle because he would be grounded.
"Ember are you done yet?" Axle asked, checking his watch. "I am almost done." Ember said. Axle sighed. He didn't understand why she was taking so long to just get dressed. Both Jaden and he were fully dressed and they were just waiting on her. "Daddy, why is it so hard for her to be on time?" Jaden asked, looking at Axle. Axle just shrugged his shoulders. He'd been with Ember for years and he already knew that it took her hours to just put on makeup, do her hair, and wear an outfit. But he had a hard time getting used to it. He checked his watch again. It was 5:30 pm. They were supposed to have left thirty minutes ago. If he had known then he would have told her to start getting dressed in the morning.After ten minutes Ember walked down the stairs. She was fully ready. "I am done." She said. Axle raised his head as soon as he heard her voice. She looked beautiful and sexy. Every time she dressed up for an occasion she always made sure to look her best and Axle felt like she was a n
The party seemed to be going well. Everyone was happy, the gossipers were gossiping and the ones that knew each other just gathered around and talked, mostly business though.Axle was still talking with those businessmen and Jaden was still in the kids' section. The party was only fifteen minutes away from starting, and the birthday queen was still getting dressed. She was having a hard time choosing an outfit and the kind of make-up that she wanted which is why she was taking too long to get ready, but at least the guests were able to keep themselves busy, with everything. The food and people to talk to.Ember on the other hand was bored to death. It's not like she had no people to talk to, they just asked her stupid questions like 'how does it feel to be a mother to Axle's child' or 'how does it feel to go from zero to a wealthy guy's wife' or 'how does it feel to be next to be the center of attention'. The questions go on and on. Ember just gets bored and finds an excuse to leave.
The time came for the part to begin. Everyone gathered around the hall to witness the grand entrance of the birthday queen. She did make a grand entrance. Everyone couldn't take their eyes off her, if you didn't know then you would think that she was in her thirties. The people that got her hair and face done really did well. Her wrinkles were not visible at all, she looked so young. Her husband might have been falling in love with her once again. The party began, it was time for everyone to say some things about Payton. Karen was the first one to go on stage. Ember couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. Of course she would want to say some nice things about Payton since they were really close. Even to this day Payton still talked about how good Karen would look with Axle, but Ember was used to it so she just ignored her. Karen cleared her throat. "Good evening everyone. I am really glad that I was able to make it today to witness Mrs Bolton torn fifty. She has always been like a m
