All Chapters of The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ember walked down the hallway quietly. Her heart was racing and her palms were sweating. She felt like she was going to collapse on the ground. She stopped in front of the door that led to Axle's parents' bedroom.They had called her and told her that they wanted to see her, from the sound of their voices Ember could tell that it was nothing good. She took a deep breath and she knocked on the door. She then heard them saying 'come in'. She opened the door and there she saw Axle's parents who were seated in the room. They watched her as she walked in. The looks that they were giving her made her body tremble in fear."Sit down."Payton said, pointing at the chair that was across the room. Ember nodded her head and she went there and she sat down on the chair. "Ember I am sure that you are wondering why we called you here."John said, Ember nodded her head. Payton stood up and she walked towards the nightstand, she opened the drawer and she took out some papers that were stapled together

Ember sat in her room, tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her mind was flooded with a lot of questions that she knew she had no answers to. She felt like she was losing breath, everything seemed to be happening so fast for her. The man that she married in the name of love turned out to be a liar. She blamed herself for being stupid and blind, for trusting a stranger. A man that she had never met before. Maybe if she had said no to his proposal she wouldn't be sitting here crying. Maybe if she had just gone back to her apartment after Dean dumped her, she wouldn't have gone to that party and she wouldn't have met Axle. She could have seen it at first, because Axle just seemed to come at the perfect time.She saw him as her knight in shining armour, he appeared at the moment when she needed someone to be by her side, she knew that a man as perfect as him was out of the ordinary but she just ignored it, she even ignored the little voice in her head that was telling her t

Axle stood in his office looking at the busy window through his big window. His mind was flooded with thoughts he did not want to think about at all but he just couldn't help it. He kept asking himself questions that he thought he didn't know the answers to but he did. The cup of coffee that he was holding in his hand was starting to get cold, he had not even drank half of it because he was not even focused on drinking it. He knew that he was most probably not going to get a cold coffee so he just put the glass on his office table.Just then he heard a light knock on his door and then he said."Come in."He said it loud enough for the person to hear. The door opened and Karen walked in with a smile on her face. She sure was feeling snug about what she had done. "What are you doing here?"He asked. He was in no mood of talking to her or even seeing her after what she had done. To him she was the guilty one, not him. He just did not want to blame himself. "Am I not allowed to come here? I

"Ember can we talk?"Axle asked knocking on the door of the room that Ember now sleeps in. She hadn't been talking to him for a while now. She even refused to sit in the same room with him so she demanded her own room. At first she wanted to leave but Axle's father told her not to as that would look bad on the family so the just gave her her own room. She had her food brought into her own room, the only time that she went out of the house was when she was going to see her friend of just going out to get some fresh air.She avoided seeing him or bumping into him everyday. She always ignored his presence, she just acted like he never even existed. She just wanted nothing to do with him anymore."Just go away."She said loud enough for him to hear."Ember, I know that I am the last person that you want to see or talk to right now but please just give me a chance to explain myself."He said."You are not even the last person that I want to see, I just don't want to see you or even talk to yo

Ember stood there waiting for Axle to give her the answer that she wanted to hear,but he just looked down on the ground. He wanted to tell her the truth but it felt like the words were stuck in his throat. His heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to come out of his chest. He took a deep breath and he looked up.at the ceiling. "What do you want me to tell you? I told you why last night. Didn't I?"He asked."Then that's not a good enough reason to convince me to stay."She said, wiping her tears."I don't have any other reason."He said."Then why are you avoiding eye contact with me?"She asked."It's just that I…"He couldn't finish his sentence because he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He put his hand over his chest and he knelt down on the floor. "Dammit!"He said, breathing heavily."What's wrong?"Ember asked, kneeling down in front of him. She put her hands on his cheeks. "J-just call for help."He said. The pain seemed to be getting worse by the second.
