"Royal we need to talk." Emner said, barging into Royal's bedroom. He was standing near his bed and he only had a towel around his waist."Uhm, Missy there is something called knocking you know." He said as he turned so he was looking at Ember. His towel looked like it was about to fall off."Well…uhm can you please put something on first?" She asked, rubbing the back of her neck with her left hand."Uhm, no. It's night time and I sleep naked, so I am not putting anything on." He said."Well can you at least fix your towel? It looks like it's about to fall off." She said pointing at his towel. Royal looked down at his towel and he just shrugged his shoulders."Turn around." He said."Why?""OH so you don't have a problem seeing me naked?" He asked, winking at her. Ember let out a gagging sound and she turned so her back was facing him. He took off his towel and he got under his bedsheets. "You can look now." He said. She turned around so she was facing him again."I thought that you w
"Wow, has it really been six months since I came here?" She asked Royal who nodded his head repeatedly. Ember shakes her head, it has really been six months away from her family and friends. Six months of being dead to others, six months of living with a man she barely even knew, six months of planning her revenge on those that did her wrong. It has been six months of everything actually."And now we are only six months away from going back there." He said. He had promised her that it would only take him twelve months to put everything in place so that they are ready fir whatever comes their way. "Yeah, but it kinda felt like forever you know." She said, sitting down next to Royal on the couch."I know, I know. You miss your kid and Axle…""Please don't talk about Axle. Even though it has been long, it still hurts because I love him a lot. So thinking about him makes me sad, happy and angry at the same time. Royal have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt like hell when they c
Ember looked at Royal, with teary eyes. She didn't know how to react at all. A part of her felt sorry for him for what happened to his woman and a part of her felt betrayed because he didn't tell her his true intentions when he saved her life, but she had every right to be angry at him and question him. "Why…then why did you save me?" She asked. Royal looked at her and then he said. "To help you." Ember was not convinced by his answer, who would be?"To help me? Royal, tell me the truth, why did you save me?" She asked, grabbing him by the collars of his shirt with both her hands and she looked him straight in the eye."You've already given up on Axle and if I help you then obviously Karen will suffer the consequences of her actions and Axle will bear the pain of losing you. So isn't that me getting my revenge? Karen will get the worst of it because she did worse." He said. He removed her hands from his collar and placed them down."What if I hadn't given up on Axle? What were you go
Emner inhaled deeply as soon as she got out of the private jet. She looked around her, the trees were swaying because of the cold and strong wind. She bent down and took off her hand glove. She then touched the ground with her hand, it was cold. She put the glove back on and she smiled. "Damn it feels good to be back." She said and she took another deep breath. It had been fourteen months since she left. She was supposed to have returned two months earlier but there were some delays, but now she was glad that she was finally back."I hate winter," Royal said. He stood next to her."Well, I love it." She said, looking at him with a smile on her face. A smile that he had somehow managed to bring back after a few months of trying. "Good for you. Come on let's go." He said, She nodded her head and they both made their way toward the car that was parked right ahead."Can you turn on the heater?" Royal asked the driver. The driver nodded his head and he did as he was asked. The driver drov
"Ember, is that you?" He asked. She looked at him, she could tell from the look in his eyes that he had nothing but anger and hatred towards her. So it meant that he still blamed her for everything. She felt like laughing in his face for how stupid he was for believing lies instead of the woman that he claimed he loved and trusted, but it wasn't the time for that. Everything happens for a reason. She pointed at her chest."Are you perhaps talking to me?" She asked. He knew from the sound of her voice that he was not mistaken, but the look in her eyes was different. It wasn't the same look that the sweet and loving Ember he once knew had. She was just way too different from her."Ember-" She cut him off before he could finish his sentence."Uhm, sorry. But why are you calling me that, my name is not Ember and I am pretty sure that we have not met before." She said, She didn't show him any hint of her lying, she had prepared for this moment and she was more than ready to answer every si
The Beeping sound of the alarm clock woke Ember up. She smashed the alarm clock so that it would turn off and it worked like it always did. "I Kanda feel sorry for that alarm clock, getting smashed by you every morning." Royal said, as he entered the room with two cups of coffee. Ember sat up on the bed and she leaned on the headboard. He handed her her coffee. "Here is your coffee I made just the way you like." He said. He then sat down next to her."Thanks…nothing feels better than strong coffee for me." She said, taking a sip."Not even I can make you feel way better than that coffee does?" He asked. She rolled her eyes at him."You aren't seriously jealous of my coffee right now are you?" She said, He chuckled."Well it seems to be getting a lot more affection and attention every morning than I do, I kinda feel like a third wheel." He said. "Well I think I have been feeling more like a third wheel here." She said,"And why is that?""You seem to be giving your play station more a
After thirty minutes of showering and almost an hour of figuring out what to wear, Emner was finally ready and fully dressed, so was Royal. It was 11:30 am and Ember was waiting for Royal in the living room while he took a phone call from the office. He sounded a bit worried so it meant that something was not right.After a few minutes he walked down the stairs. "Sorry babe, I can't come with you, something happened at the office and I am urgently needed. I am sorry that you have to face them alone. I have informed my secretary to tell them that only you'll be coming." He said, kissing her on the cheek. She sighed and she looked down at her feet and then she looked back at him."It's okay, I'll manage. It's not your fault anyway, just go and attend to whatever it is that you need to attend to at the office…I'll keep you updated on everything." She said, smiling at him. "Alright, my driver will send you off. Inform me if anything happens, okay?" He said. He really felt bad that he was
"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
