"What! But why?"Diana asked.

"I can't say I didn't see that one coming." Sophie said. Diana gave her a death glare and she just shrugged her shoulders looking away.

"He said that he didn't love me anymore and that he had found someone else and that person is already pregnant with his child."She said, wiping her tears.

"So in other words that asshole cheated on you"Sophie said and Ember nodded her head in response. "Do you know where he is now? My hands are itching right now."Sophie said, rubbing her hands together.

"You know what for once I agree with you Sophie, that idiot deserves a beating."Diana said.

"Guys what's the point, I just want something that will keep my mind off him right now."Ember said.

"Fine, but if I bump into him I won't spare his ugly face,"Sophie said.

"Let's go to that bar that just opened recently." Diana suggested.

"I don't drink and you guys know that." Ember said. Sophie rolled her eyes at her, she still didn't understand why Ember didn't drink because according to Sophie, alcohol was all a person needed to get rid of all their worries.

"Alright uhm… OH yeah, there is a party at the McMahon mansion right now, we can actually go there I am sure that it will keep your mind off that annoying asshole.''Sophie said.

"Wait, but isn't the McMahon family, like the richest family in the continent? Besides none of us are invited, only VIP's get invited to their party.''Diana said.

"Second richest family, the richest family in the continent is the Bolton family, I have the invitation cards with me, as to how or where I got them from is a story for another day. Come on, let's go and get dressed. Don't worry about the outfits, I already have outfits, just like they always say 'stay ready so you don't have to get ready''' Sophie said smiling. Diana still didn't trust her because the last thing that Diana wanted was to get into trouble. "Guy's stop staring at me, come on let's go." Sophie said. Without a choice both Ember abd Diana stood up and followed their friend to who knows where.

"Are you sure that we won't get ourselves kicked out?"Ember asked. They were now at the entrance of the mansion where the party was held. Dean had already ruined her day and she didn't want her day to become much worse than it already was.

"Girls chill, we are going to be okay."Sophie said, but Diana and Amber still didn't trust her but who knows maybe things might end up going well for them and they might end up having the time of their life. So they both got out of the car and they made their way into the huge mansion that was worth millions of dollars.

When they got in, both Ember and Diana were in awe, their Jaws dropped because of what they were seeing. This place was decorated in green and gold, the chandeliers on the white ceiling were made out of real gold and diamonds. Who on earth would spend so much on a chandelier. The floor tile was crystal white and looked smooth. Anyone could slip and fall if they were not careful. The stairs and walls were decorated in green and gold lights that made the whole place shine. And the guests were wearing clothes that not everyone could afford.you could tell from the way they were dressed that none of them looked like they were ordinary people with ordinary jobs, they were indeed VIP'S.

"Are you sure that we should be here?"Diana asked, still not too sure about the idea of them coming into a place like this one.

"Guys come on, let's just go and enjoy ourselves, stop asking me meaningless questions. I want to enjoy the night, you guys should enjoy it too, so have fun."Sophie said leaving the two women alone.

"So, what do we do now?"Ember asked.

"Just enjoy yourself like she said, I am going to search for someone I am going to take home with me."Diana said and she left. Ember was now all alone.

Ember could not believe it, her two best nest friends had just left her here all by herself avd the worst part is that she didn't know anyone. She thought that maybe walking around the place would help her out. So she just walked to the hall where most of the guests were gathered, most of them were in groups and they were chatting, probably about their lifestyles. She made her way to the area where the food was and she helped herself to a piece of strawberry cake that looked fresh out of the oven.

As she was eating a man came and he stood behind her tapping her on her shoulder. She put the plate down abd she turned around wanting to see who it was, and she met the icy blue eyes of what seemed to be an angel that just descended from heaven. He had long black silky hair, a cupid nose and cherry lips, thick eyebrows and a perfect square jar. Ember was speechless, this man was just perfect. 'OH please ask me to marry you.'She thought to herself. 'Oh God what am I even thinking, who in their right mind would marry a stranger.'She asked herself.

"Hello young miss, my name is Axle. I was hoping we could go to the dance together. What do you think?"he asked. His voice was deep but welcoming. Ember nodded her head in response, still not able to say anything.

They both made their way to the dance floor and they started dancing.The music was soft as they danced the time away. She could feel him staring at her but she was too nervous and shy to look at him, she was afraid of losing herself and doing something she might or might not regret. Instead of looking at his eyes she looked at their moving feet, it's a good thing that her sister tought her how to dance. "Why aren't you looking at me?"He asked her.

"Uhm…I."She tried to talk but she still couldn't.

"It's okay if you are shy, it's not a bad thing."He said still not taking his eyes off her."But can you at least try to look at me, you should get used to it since you will be spending the rest of your life with me."He said. Ember looked up at him , still processing what he had just said.

"What do you mean?"She asked. He then let go of her waist abd ge reached out in his pocket abd he took about a small box, he then kneeled down in front of her. "Ember James, will you marry me?"He asked.

  • The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal    Chapter 90

    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

  • The CEO's Sudden Marriage Proposal    chapter 89

    Ember continued to stay in Axle's house until she completely healed. She didn't want to but she didn't want to leave Jaden, she had left him before, she couldn't leave again because being away from him hurt too much. Both her and Axle agreed that they would live in the same house for Jaden's sake. They pretended to be happy in front of Jaden but treated each other like complete strangers when Jaden was not around. Ember was yet to visit her mom's house because the media was all over waiting to throw questions at her. She wanted to wait for them to give up on wanting to interview her so she could go back to living life peacefully, away from Axle. Because that is what she wanted, but it wasn't going to be easy considering that Jaden was in the picture, and she couldn't leave him with Axle or take him away from Axle. Jaden loved them both, and she didn't want to take what he loved away from him. She loved him too much to hurt his little heart. ● ●Ember woke up early, and she got Ja

    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!" She heard the voice again, probably for the third time. It sounded distant and it was like she was dreaming, but it got louder and more real. She slowly opened her eyes, and she saw a figure standing right above her. As soon as she was able to see clearer she saw who it was, it was Axle and she could see the look of panick in his eyes. "Axle?" Her throat was dry and her tongue felt heavy."Thank god you are okay. We don't have much time." He said, untying her and he picked her up from the metal bed. She was still trying to krocess what was happening, when he walked out of the room with her in his arms. Her body still felt heavy so the drug was still affecting her. "What's going on?" She manged to ask."I'll explain later. We just gotta get out of here before the security system comes back online again. Royal, is waiting outside with a van and he's watching the hallways for us." He said. She nodded her head. She felt tired so she decided to relax in his body, while he ran ou

    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

    "Why did you open the windows so early in the morning and in such weather?" Ember asked, pulling the blanket over her head. It was -5°C outside so it was too cold for her liking."Early? Honey, it's almost noon." Royal said with a slight chuckle."But it's still fucking cold, close the damn windows. Do you want me to die because of the cold?" She asked."So what do you plan on doing? Sleeping for the whole day? You have to try on the dresses today to find the perfect one to wear at Karen's party tomorrow night." He said. Ember pulled the blanket off her head, she quickly sat up on the bed."Why didn't you tell me?" She asked, getting off the bed quickly and she ran to the bathroom, Royal followed behind her."You knew.""Yes, but I forgot. You should have reminded me, you know that I have to find the perfect dress and I need time for that, I still have to pick the jewelry too." She took out her toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet."That's exactly what I did, I just reminded you." He
