All Chapters of The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"Babe, are you done yet?" Royal asked, checking his watch. He has been waiting for almost an hour. Royal wasn't good at waiting at all, patience was something that he didn't have. It was 1 pm in the afternoon and they were supposed to have left thirty minutes ago, but since Ember takes forever to get ready (according to Royal) they couldn't go early. He still didn't understand why women took so much time to get ready."Just a moment!" She said. This was the third time that she was saying that. He hoped that it was just a moment instead of forever. It was hard for him to get used to it, no matter how hard he tried.After about five minutes, Ember walked down the stairs. She was wearing blue jean shorts, a pink thin strapped T-shirt, and blue sandals. She was tied into a tight and curly ponytail. "I am ready." She said. He had to admit, she looked great, even in simple clothing."You know with that much time that you took I thought that you were putting on makeup or something." He said

"What do you mean he's gone?" Axle asked. Karen had told Axle about Jaden going missing after a few hours of searching for him and not finding him."He's gone. He's been kidnapped." She said, running her hands through her hair."By who?""It was that woman, Jennifer or whatever her name is." Axle groaned. Karen knew that he probably thought that she was crazy for thinking that."Seriously? Karen, we've talked about this multiple times, that woman is not Ember, Ember is dead, we both know that. So please stop with this madness and focus on finding Jaden, I'll send out people to search for him. I can't believe that he disappeared under your care." Before Karen could say something he ended the call."Fuck!" Karen screamed. There was one place that she was yet to look at and was the Royal's mansion. She had to try her luck, if Jaden was with them then it could prove her suspicion that Jennifer is Ember and she will finally find a way to get rid of her for good, this time with no mistakes.

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 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 sat in her car outside the café, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Her heart thudded in her chest, and she tried to steady her breathing. This was the moment she’d been dreading, yet longing for. After a week of wrestling with her thoughts, she had made her decision. It wasn’t just about her; it was about Jayden and the life she wanted to build for him.When she finally stepped out of the car, she straightened her shoulders and walked inside. Axle was already there, sitting at a corner table. He looked up the moment she entered, his expression a mixture of nervousness and hope. He stood as she approached, his hands stuffed into his pockets.“Hey,” he said softly.“Hi,” she replied, sitting down across from him. Her voice was calm, but her palms were sweating.For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence between them was heavy, filled with memories, regrets, and unspoken words.“I wasn’t sure if you’d actually come,” Axle admitted, breaking the silence. His voice was tenta
