All Chapters of Fated to my One Night Stand: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~Amber’s POV~ ‘I cannot believe you just did that.’The words came out through clenched teeth, fury making my entire body shake.Her reaction was immediate.I felt her turn, felt the deliberate shift as she turned her tail on me in the most dismissive gesture a wolf could make, then settled down like she was going to sleep.Like she hadn’t just manipulated me into swearing a binding oath.I gasped, the audacity of it stealing my breath. “You double bitch.” I said the words out loud this time.I threw the covers off, grabbed my phone to check the time.3:47 AM.Three forty-seven in the goddamn morning.‘You couldn’t wait till morning when I actually had to be up to force a nightmare on me and manipulate me into taking an oath, could you?’ I threw the thought at her with all the venom I could muster. ‘You had to do it at three in the morning? Really?’All I got in response was more emphasis on the turned tail, her presence radiating smug satisfaction.Anger hit hotter, sharper and I sh

~Amber’s POV~ A pin could have dropped in the silence that filled the room and everyone would have heard it.Actually, one of the pins holding my hair up did fall to the ground but before I had a chance to prove the theory that my brain had just come up with, Monroe broke the silence with his words coming out in a rush.“Stealing from you? Why would I do that? Mr. Edgewood, I’ve been loyal to this company for…”“Three years.” Axel’s voice cut through, cold and sharp.I had picked up the scent in the hour that I had been in here so I knew that every person in this room was human.Well except for Axel and I.If they weren’t, they would have felt the deadly aura that was pouring off Axel as he took a step toward Monroe, would have recognized the danger, would have known to run.But they just sat there, oblivious, watching the scene unfold like it was a corporate drama instead of something far more dangerous.“I pay you two point four million dollars a year, Monroe.” Axel’s voice was qui

~Amber’s POV~ The thing about being taken by surprise in a way that couldn’t have been expected or imagined is that it completely takes over your thought process and in doing so, it makes the seconds and everything else pass you by without you even realizing it.“Amber Crystabel Moon.”I blinked at the call of my full name, realized that I was in a car and father was standing just outside the open door, waiting.Where the hell was I?And I should really stop with the whole cursing thing.My father broke through the thoughts. “You haven’t been listening to a word I’ve been saying all through the car ride, have you? And you didn’t hear a word of what I’ve been standing here saying either.”“That’s not true. I heard.”He gave me a look. The kind only fathers can give. “Okay, what was the last thing I said?”“That you are offering me the position of Director of Financial Oversight,” I said automatically, the words spilling out like they had been sitting right there waiting. “And the p

~Amber’s POV~ “Having fun, are we?”If I wasn’t so exhausted and literally panting trying to catch my breath from almost being drowned seconds ago, I would curse the hell out of her and this time it would be very much deserved.“The moment I get out of here—” I managed to grit out between gasps, my lungs still burning from the water I had swallowed, the adrenaline still coursing through my body making my hands shake.“You are going to kill me?” She finished for me, and I couldn’t see her but I could picture the smile on her face, stretching those lips that I knew were still painted that corporate red. “You couldn’t think of something less cliché?”“I should be asking you the same thing, you psychopathic bitch!” I screamed out, still gasping, feeling a mix of rage and fear coursing through me in equal measure.I was shivering now. Violently. My entire body was soaked through from the water room, my dress clinging to my skin like ice, and I couldn’t tell if the shaking was from the c

~Amber’s POV~ “I’m s-sorry.” The words came out in broken pieces, my teeth slamming together between each one. “I couldn’t have h-heard you right because it sounded like you just asked me to f-fucking kill you.”The silence that followed was only filled with the hum of the freezer and the violent sound of my own shivering.“Do you know that for a p-princess,” Axel said, his voice rough and fractured, each word looking like it cost him visible effort, “you curse way too m-much.”“Yes. I k-know. I will t-think about quitting o-nce we get out of here.” I pushed off the door, my frozen hands leaving frost prints on the metal, and turned to face him fully.“Now g-get off your ass and come help me.”He didn’t move.Not even slightly.“I cannot move.” He said it quietly. “In a literal sense.”My chest tightened.“And I did not ask you to kill me.” His eyes, glassy and frost-rimmed at the edges, stayed steady on my face. “I asked you to stop my heart.”“What the h-hell is the difference?!”T
