Until I Found You Chapter 021 - Surprise
The Chief Security Officer was accompanied by two security guards who had interrogated her the day prior.Ember was so overwhelmed with fear that she could not move, standing still like a statue that had been frozen in timeHer heart began to beat faster as the realization that she may be in trouble again crossed her mind, yet she did her best to remain calm and collected despite the fear.Gathering her strength and courage, she inhaled deeply and steeled herself for whatever was about to come. It felt like an eternity before they finally reached her.A brief friendly nod from the man gave her a sliver of assurance and her worries began to subside.The Chief Security Officer removed his cap and bowed his head, and the men standing behind him imitated his gesture. “Ms. Heart,” he began, he could not hide the embarrassment he felt when he spoke, but his attitude was surprisingly polite. “We are deeply sorry for the mistake that was made yesterday, and I have come here to express our

“Icen and Thunder had been best friends since they were teens.” Hazel's words dissipated as she was momentarily mesmerized by a sapphire blue Swarovski gown worn by one of the mannequins.Ember was in a state of riveted anticipation as she waited for her to continue.“Both of them vowed that they would attend each other's wedding, come what may. Though there was no more friendship between them, Icen chose to honor his pledge.”Ember was stunned to learn that her ex and her boss had been close in the past, however, what perplexed her most was the fact that their friendship had since dissipated.She was bewildered how this occurred.Not once in the course of the three years she had been together with Thunder did he ever speak of Icen’s name, nor did he allude to having a best friend.“What happened to their friendship?” Her eyebrows arched up in curiosity.“I wished I knew the full details,” Hazel expressed with regret, “What I know is both of the men were captivated by the same woman, h

Ember brushed off the unbelievable coincidence with a shrug. She let her attention return to Hazel who was now enjoying a glass of pineapple juice.“My vacation to Versailles wasn't entirely a pleasant visit, but I had a good time there nonetheless." A curious frown scrunched Hazel's forehead. She lowered her glass on the table and asked, "Why? What happened?" "You wouldn't want to hear it." Ember let go an embarrassed sigh, inwardly wishing Hazel would drop off the subject. Unfortunately it wasn't happening. "I'd like to hear it very much." Hazel urged her on. Her eager tone was hard to resist. She couldn't let her down and so she continued. "My best friend Xiana and I had decided to go on an adventure together, and one of our planned stops was an abandoned castle. Maybe we're both bored and out of our minds, so we didn't give it much thought and continued with our plans anyway.” Ember stopped, she was so embarrassed she couldn't bring herself to continue. "Don’t leave me hanging

“No!” The room was jarred by an ear-splitting scream. And the sole occupant of the bed was startled awake when she realized the noise had come from her lips. Xiara Evans eased her body to lean against the headboard. Her heart raced like crazy, as if she had just finished a marathon. The room temperature was freezing cold, but beads of sweat formed on her temples. Not only did her forehead feel damp, but her cheeks were soaked as well—this time from tears. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the fear and anxiety were overwhelming.Still under the influence of the nightmare, she was disoriented, clutching her chest with a terrified expression, and wondering where she was.It took a while for reality to set in. The moment she knew she was safe, she released the breath she hadn't realized she was holding. But the knowledge that it was all a dream did nothing to diminish the monstrous fear she felt deep within.At first, she blamed the strain of her constant worklo

The exquisite blue sky had turned a pale orange when Xiana stepped out of the plane. She hailed a cab in order to reach her condominium and when she arrived, she dropped her belongings before heading out again. She went to the building's parking lot to retrieve her car without changing her clothes.A sigh broke from her lips as she climbed into her brand new Mustang and drove out of the parking lot.She was exhausted and tired. Above all, she desired to sleep. But she needed to see Dr. Coleen, her psychologist. The appointment was important and she wouldn't want to miss it.She promised herself that she would get enough sleep after she returned from her doctor's appointment.It took her 30 minutes to get to her destination.Her red Mustang came to a complete stop in front of an expansive ten-story building, located near the shopping district.Xiana stayed inside her car for a moment to check her face in the rearview mirror to ensure her eyes weren't puffy from crying for hours.The sw

Ember was bored to death in her apartment.She attempted to alleviate her boredom by watching television, but after a few futile channel changes she gave up and decided to turn it off.Sighing, she threw herself lazily into the couch. She texted Xiana an hour ago to see if she wanted to hang out, but she has yet to respond. Perhaps she was preoccupied or taking a siesta.Ember had tried to find something to do in her apartment, but everything was spotlessly clean and there's nothing for her to do unless she rearranges things again, which is ridiculous and a complete waste of time.At some point, she picked up a book and started reading. Unfortunately, not even her go-to writer was able to ease her boredom. She wasn't in the mood to read so she closed the book.Maybe a siesta is what she needed. She thought as she lay down on the couch and closed her eyes. She was drifting to the sweet arms of sleep when a knock sounded on the door.Opening her eyes, she glanced at the clock and wonde

“No!” She exclaimed.Thunder was just as shocked by her harsh response as Ember had been.She took a deep breath, thinking she was coming over too harshly, and tried again. “You can't come in at the moment because I'm busy.”As Thunder frowned, his eyebrows nearly met in the middle. His honey-colored gaze settled on her warily.“Do you have something to hide?” His tone was somewhat accusing.Ember fiercely propelled her chin upward. “It's none of your business, Thunder.”“It's my responsibility. What if it turns out you're breaking the law?” He reasoned.She let out a snort that was rather unladylike. “I swear I'm not breaking any laws,” Unless she thought harboring a devilishly good-looking male in her place is considered illegal then she's going to jail.“Do you really believe that I'll resort to criminal behavior because of our breakup?” “I mean no harm. I'm just concerned.” He told her.“Concern my ass.” She mumbled to herself.“I just want to talk to you for a few minutes.”Anno

Xiana's cheeks began to flush. “Oh, well... I'm just surprised.” She paused, “It's not every day that I walk into your apartment and see two topless men lounging on your couch, as well as your disheveled appearance, as if you've been ravished.”Even though Ember was used to her best friend's blunt remark, her cheeks flushed when she heard it. “You have an overactive imagination.” She mumbled with a brief shake of her head."So, can you tell me what's going on?" Her best friend's brow furrowed as she asked.No one in the room answered.Ember looked at her with lips moving but no words coming out. It took several attempts for her Xiana to understand what she meant. Perhaps because they were best friends and could read each other with a glance, a blink, and a nod of the head, Xiana was able to assess the situation more quickly than the average person. 'I will take care of this.' Mouthing back, her eyes narrowed, then shifted to Thunder and Icen on the couch.“Aren't you embarrassed, Si

“I didn't know you were an orphan, Ms. Heart.” Alexander spoke with a frown scrunching his forehead.She wasn't the type to easily open up with anyone but there was something about Alexander that made her feel she could trust him with her secrets. “I discovered I was adopted just recently.” A sigh escaped from her lips. “Mom had been furious because I'd done something she didn't like and she spilled the truth at the spur of the moment.”“That must have been so devastating…” He lowered the wine glass on the table and sighed, “I can't imagine growing up and suddenly learning that my father and mother were not my biological parents. It will make me question my whole life and wonder where my real parents have been all this time.”“Exactly,” Ember replied. She was surprised how well he summed up what she felt in just a few sentences. “You said it so well, Mr. Lockhart.”“I assume you came to the orphanage to find information about your parents?”Ember nodded her head. “I'm surprised how wel
Until I Found You Chapter 041 - Jealous
Ember swallowed the lump in her throat. Her eyes momentarily closed as she suddenly became aware of emotions surging inside her. She couldn't explain what she felt but she was certain of one thing, she was jealous even though she didn't have the right to. She is just Icen's secretary and yet, she couldn't stop how she felt after seeing him with another woman.Telling herself to stop being jealous is like preventing herself from breathing.With difficulty, she forced her eyes open and that's when she saw the woman released Icen from her tight grasp and looked up to him. “I love you, Clayton.” She mumbled under her breath with tears in her bright green eyes.Who was this woman? She couldn't help but ask herself. Slowly, the woman leaned closer to lay a kiss on his lips but before she could even witness their lips touch, Ember immediately left the room.As she closed the door behind her, she became aware of the ache in her chest. She had never reacted like this way before to any man, n
Until I Found You Chapter 040 - Crushed Hopes
For a fleeting moment, Ember almost believed Elizabeth. But after seeing her crocodile tears, she realized her mother was lying. Call it instinct or intuition, she knew she was keeping secrets to herself and no matter what she's not sharing it to anyone.Her mother was doing it on purpose — for her own personal gain.Elizabeth had crushed her last hopes in ever finding her biological parents. Now that the only person who knows about her just told her a straight out lie, it would be difficult to ever trust her again, thinking everything she says was nowhere near the truth.Ember was desperate but she couldn't force mother because once Elizabeth made up her mind, she always stood by her decisions.She's back to square one, and she didn't even know who to ask so she could find out about her past. If only her adoptive father was alive, things would be much easier for her. When he was still alive, only her father treated her well. Though Ember was not his favorite child, he expressed how he
Until I Found You Chapter 039 - Brutal Truth
“I know you would return, Amira.” The words reverberated on Ember's mind, sending unexplainable shivers down her spine. She wasn't Amira, but still, her heart lurched forward as if her name had just been called. As though her arms have minds of their own, she hugged Sister Anne back with equal warmth, feeling that for the first time in her life, she felt like she found her way back home.Ember was certain she and Sister Anne had never had the chance to meet before. Yet, she was caught off guard by the strong and undeniable connection she had with the old woman as though she'd once played a big role in her life.Upon letting her go, Sister Ann framed her cheeks with her thin and wrinkly fingers. “I waited for you for twenty-years… I couldn't believe you're finally here….” She murmured under her breath with tears in her eyes. “I know I'm not wrong for making that decision two decades ago.”“Do you know who I am?” Ember looked at Sister Anne with hope in her eyes. Could this be perhaps th
Until I Found You Chapter 038 - Visit The Orphanage
ST. ANNE'S ORPHANAGE. The words were written in bold, capital letters in front of an expansive three story white building.Ember wasn't sure if it was the same St. Anne's orphanage her mother was talking about, but it was the only orphanage with the same name that has been built for more than forty years. To add to that, it was also the only orphanage named St. Anne in the city.She decided to visit the place where she came from to find out more about her past, hoping to uncover some clues that would lead her to her biological parents, if she has any. She felt excitement and fear rush inside her as she walked towards the colossal gate, wondering what secrets the orphanage held for her.Taking a deep breath, she pressed the buzzer once. The sound echoed through the silent building, but no one was coming, and she wondered if it was past visiting hours that is why no one was answering.She pressed the buzzer again just to make sure whoever was inside would hear it and after a few secon
Until I Found You Chapter 037 - The Villain
ANDERSON INVESTIGATION TOWERAce Alexander Lockhart strode past the door of a plush office and made a beeline straight to the chic wooden table while holding a neatly folded torn newspaper page in his hand. Kathryne Anderson, owner of the thriving investigation company was seated on her swivel chair, eyebrows furrowed in intense concentration while reading a file in her hand.Perhaps she was so occupied that she didn't notice him until he placed the newspaper on top of her table to capture her attention and spoke in his authoritative voice. “I want you to know everything about this girl.” Kathryne abruptly raised her head in annoyance. Her smooth forehead scrunching into an inelegant frown, making her arched eyebrows to almost meet halfway. “Don't you know how to knock, Mr. Lockhart?” She snapped. By how her nose flared, he could tell how annoyed she was at him. “Could you go back to where you came from? It seemed, you forgot to pick your manners there.”Unaffected, he nonchalantly
Until I Found You Chapter 036 - Save Her
Icen Clayton Blackstone froze as he watched Ember fall to the swimming pool in slow motion. Fear he never knew he was capable of, slammed through his chest, making his breathing laboured.He'd never feel so scared before the way he did now. If only he could fly, he'd already spread his wings to reach her. Everyone was still overcome with shock that no one moved to save her.She was struggling to float but her gown was on the way, and making her way up was a struggle. He felt as if he slowly died inside. Heart violently hammering inside his ribcage, he plowed his way to the frenzied crowd but he was making slow progress. Bodies blocked his way like a fence but he didn't stop, he forced his way forward.Did she know how to swim? Terror clawed his stomach at the question. He didn't want to know the answer, he just wanted to reach her as soon as possible.**Thunder Steel stood unmoving on the altar, he heard the loud splash on the pool but he was unable to understand what was happening a
Until I Found You Chapter 035 - The Disastrous Wedding
Elizabeth had only said the words to get on her nerves, Ember thought to herself as she pulled herself together and dried the drop of tear that had fallen on her cheek.Her mother didn't treat her well just as she treated Sofia and Kate but it doesn't mean she wasn't her child. She only said those hurtful words at the spur of the moment. They mean nothing but to scathe her feelings.After gathering her courage and forcing a fake smile on her lips to fool everyone, she returned to the garden where a number of wide, curious eyes followed her movement. Low murmuring sound filled the air but Ember ignored them as she made her way to the nearest empty seat available which was near the pool.For a brief moment, she considered looking for another seat which was located far from any bodies of water but then the other empty seat she could see was in front of the altar and Ember didn't want to create another reason for people to gossip by sitting near the groom and bride during the ceremony.As
Until I Found You Chapter 034 - Shocking Revelation
Ember arrived at the Hotel, which was located at the heart of the city a few minutes later. Standing at the upscale door was a female staff member already waiting for her.“Welcome to Elite Hotel, Ms. Heart. I'm Elle, your personal butler and I'll be assisting you throughout all your stay here.” The butler took her luggage and led her way to the elevator.Ember couldn't help but scan the hotel with mouth slightly opened. Almost every guest has their own butler. From the modern structure of the hotel to their butler service all screamed luxury.Her gaze had been searching among the guests as she passed across the hallway, looking for a familiar face, but she didn't find whom she wanted to see. It seemed Icen hadn't arrived at the hotel yet.They hopped on the elevator and it stopped on the eighth floor of the twenty story building where her room was located. They passed through a long hallway before reaching the vip suite.They enter a luxury suit and Elle, her personal butler, helped
