Ember's POV"Why don't you just kill him so that I can just rest from the noise that you delight in making. What's your deal with always threatening to kill each other? If it's not for the minute things you don't have peace. Isn't it always shameful to you? If it isn't to you, I get pissed a lot." I replied.With this, the power struggle ended and Greg removed his hand from Anthony's neck. "What would happen if a visitor was coming in at the same time seeing you as a nuisance? I don't think you reason at all." I fired at them. They were pissing me off. It was always one issue or the other."Don't speak to us like toddlers. We aren't the cause of the fight between you and Trent." I sighed. I understood what they were trying to do but I wouldn't fall for it one bit. " You are trying to get me riled up but you can try again. I'm stating the truth unapologetically. If you're offended, why don't you pierce yourself with a spear or bang your head against the wall." Greg's face turned red

Ember's POVAnd guys, that was how the deal was struck. I helped him through the past week with getting his financial records right. But that wasn't all that happened. I was also prepping by the side for the celebratory dinner that was scheduled to be held soon. Trent mandated that I didn't lift a finger but that was not going to work because I wanted everything to be perfect."Sonia, are you sure that the orders have been settled?" I asked her when she walked into my room later in the evening. I was not allowed to go out no matter how much I wanted because I was swamped with work It was not easy to find Trent around these days, the construction for the academy that he planned on running had begun. I guess that was part of the reason he was having the celebratory dinner too. To rub it in the faces of those who refused to yield to his words. The greedy lots who didn't want to do any work, yet enjoyed the fruit of someone else's labor. "That's a relief. I would be needing your help wi

Ember's POVI made sure that I shot him a confused look. I was the epitome of confusion, " What do you mean?" I replied, applauding myself internally for maintaining a calm composure when I was indeed trembling inside. It was a lot to process, seeing that he might have some information and was just waiting for confirmation. I'd be damned if there was a problem from my angle. Of course, I'll wait to be able to stop him from fostering the idea. Trent stared at me for the longest before shaking his head silently. I didn't know what he was thinking and honestly, I didn't care because I wouldn't allow him to know what I was up to." I don't know, you tell me." He replied cryptically and I raised a brow again to stare at him. Was he kidding me right now? I was sure that he must have been kidding because this was just an entire child's play if he thought that I was going to admit to knowing anything about him. " I don't know what you're expecting but I don't know what you mean or want to h

Ember's POV"What do you mean for his ex-wife?!" I replied, causing the kids to jolt at the sound of my voice. This was totally rubbish. Why was he bringing her to the house? "Is Trent aware of this nonsense?"She shook her head, " No, I don't think so. I think it's intended to be a surprise to him too. She is basically coming to cause trouble which I wish can be prevented because I don't even know what to say." After searching her face and seeing that she was telling nothing but the truth I discovered that it was probably a very big issue and that it wouldn't be good if I wasn't in the know. One thing was still confusing though. " Why is she now trying to mend fences with me?" I asked her. She shrugged nonchalantly. " I don't know, but she says that she's sorry. I guess the former Luna doesn't have a place to stay anymore and he's kind of owing her. I don't understand that area because it's quite gray. All I know is that it's not that hard to understand. I was just thinking about

Ember's POV"Oh? I don't know what is going on... Yeah... today is my birthday. I have totally forgotten about that."He kissed me and smiled. "Well I haven't. it's a good thing you dressed up pretty. I was scared that you wouldn't fall for my trucks. Alas, it ended up being good though. I don't think that anyone would be able to stop your shine at least not now."I smiled at him because this was a very sweet thing to do and I felt warm in my heart. It's almost as though there was something that was stuck in my throat. I couldn't believe that I was crying. "Thank you.""Are you crying, Ember?" The men began to clap and more tears streamed down my eyes. I was happy and at the same time sorrowful. Reason being that this man was a very good man and he was going to be heartbroken later on. I would have preferred to hurt a man if he was probably wicked to me but doing all of this and still betraying him? I didn't know how to navigate that."You are so overwhelmed." He muttered and I sta
