EMBER'S POV "Ember, problems are the things that make people strong. No problems, no life. Yes, sometimes certain problems are really hard to handle, but it doesn't mean you should run away from them... Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" Papa asked, and I sobbed while nodding my head in agreement. I wanted to scream about every problem I was facing, but it would only increase his pain. It would only make him feel like a failure for not being able to help his daughter. "So don't run away from problems. How long have you been feeling fragile? Where is my Ember who used to fight off anyone who dared to misbehave with her?" He asked, and I sobbed even more while looking outside. I felt like a stranger in my own body after last night. I felt dirty. His touch still lingered, slowly killing me and burning me with pain. "So whenever you feel like giving up, always remember why you came here. You came here for your dreams, so work hard and fulfill your dream of getting a job in a pre

Ivan's POV:I hissed in pain as I carefully applied a bandage to my forehead, staring at my reflection in the mirror of my luxurious penthouse. My normally composed expression was contorted with a mix of anger and betrayal. The veins in my temples pulsed with frustration as I surveyed the damage she had caused.My eyes, usually sharp and focused, were now bloodshot and filled with a simmering rage. How dare she hurt me? The audacity of her actions left me seething with a desire for revenge. I wanted to make her suffer, to show her the consequences of crossing me.Every fiber of my being yearned to punish her, to inflict upon her the pain and humiliation she had inflicted upon me. My mind raced with thoughts of vengeance, concocting elaborate schemes to ensure she would pay dearly for her transgressions.My fists clenched at my sides, and my jaw tightened as I imagined the satisfaction I would feel when justice was served. The fire within me burned hotter, propelling me towards a dark

Author's POV: "What's happening here?" His deep, husky voice grabbed the attention of all the customers and workers in the jewelry area. There he stood, entering like a Greek god in his ordinary suit. His dark eyes scanned the store, and all the workers looked at him with fear and insecurity. The mall security staff trailed behind him. "Sir, it's nothing. A blue diamond ring has gone missing, and we've apprehended the thief," a male worker said proudly. Upon hearing this, Ivan glanced at him with an expression of uncertainty, as if silently questioning, "Are you sure?" "Who is the thief?" he asked in a calm tone. "It's a girl. We're conducting a physical search, and I'm confident we'll recover the ring," the worker replied. Ivan chuckled at this. "What's its value?" he inquired. "The latest diamond ring costs around 37 million dollars," the worker stated, leaving Ivan surprised. "That's quite expensive, isn't it?" Ivan remarked. "Yes, sir," the worker replied, and Ivan turned h

Author's POV" I said fvcking kiss me, if you don't want me to break your fingers!. " He shout and she nod her head negatively. " No.. Please... Aaah. " She pleaded at first but moaned in pain next when he twisted her finger. He will break her finger if she will not kiss him so she moved forward and smashed her lips on his but didn't kiss him. Actually, she doesn't know how to kiss. Till this time he was the one who was kissing her forcefully. " I said kiss me, don't rest your lips. " He said and more hot tears streamed down. " I.. I.. I don't know how to kiss. " And hearing this he became speechless. His eyes softened and a smirk appeared on his lips. " Please leave my hand. " She said in her cries. " Follow my lead. " He said and pulled her into a deep kiss. He tried to be fast but her speed was very slow so he slowed down. He was still holding her finger in hard grip. He closed her eyes when he felt her soft lips moving on his rough ones. His hold on her fingers loosen making

AUTHOR'S POV"Hey, WIFE." These two words brought her back to reality, and she turned around to find Ivan looking at her with an unknown expression, leaning his head on the door. She looked at him with confusion. On the TV screen, her first name was displayed along with Alexander Black as her surname, and now Ivan calling her "Wife" did not sit well with her."What is all this?" she asked, and he chuckled."Follow me," he ordered and walked out of the bedroom, with her following behind."Ivan, answer me!" she roared, but received no response. They entered a luxurious study room where Ivan was already settled in his master chair, looking like a professional businessman."I asked what the hell is happening outside?" she asked, approaching him. He seemed unaffected, like a cool person. Unbothered, he took out his phone from his pants pocket and placed it on the table."Ivan?" she asked again, anger in her voice."Finally, a handsome playboy, who is the prince of nightlife, got married, s
