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

Chapter 022 - Just A Coincidence

“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

Chapter 023 - Worried!

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

Chapter 024 - Xiana's Big Secret

“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

Chapter 025 - Xiana's Big Revelation

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

Chapter 026 - Double Trouble

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

Chapter 027 - Royally Pissed

“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

Chapter 028 - Saved At Last

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

Chapter 029 - Reopen The Investigation

4:00 PM at Phoenix Empire, Ceo's main office.Icen Clayton Blackstone sat erect on his throne — his swivel chair — with his arms crossed beneath his chin. His blue lagoon eyes shadowed in intense concentration, and his thoughts wandered for miles.Ember Heart had been an enigma to him since the beginning. He couldn't get her off his thoughts from the moment he laid his eyes on her.Other than his birthday celebration, he had a strong impression he'd met her previously. He couldn't disregard the thought since it was so strong.Was it at a gathering? A business meeting? What about company events? He pondered long and hard, but he couldn't recall seeing her at any of those gatherings even though he was certain they had crossed paths before.He was perplexed, and all he could do was scratch his head at the ridiculous feeling he felt.Everything about Ember felt perfectly familiar to him. The way she smiles with humor, how she tilts and raises her chin when she's about to argue, and how her

Ember's cheeks were flushed with tears, and her fingers gripped the book tightly in her hand. She had read a hundred books before, but none had ever moved her to tears like the one she's currently reading.As she turned the pages, she felt as if the characters were close to her and that their struggles were her own.
