Ember's POV"How are you feeling?" Trent asked me and I shrugged. U remembered everything that he said and here I was trying to figure out the right reaction to give to him. "Are you sure that you are fine? I can see that you are a bit off. Do you need the doctor, should I call him? I mean, is there anything that you want me to do? I could..." I placed a warning hand on his arm. He was making a fuss out of nothing. There was a way that he moved that was a bit suspicious to me. Although he didn't know what was happening, I was waiting for the ball to drop. "I'm good. I promise, I'm just tired I wanted to take a nap before you walked in." I lied and he stared at me for a minute before wearing a confused expression. I was thinking about what else I could do though so that I didn't have any problems.It was two weeks after childbirth and her father had only come twice to visit her. "Is there something that you've been passing through? I don't know what to do with the attitudes you've
Ember's POV"Who's Xavier?" I repeated and he stared at me. I didn't know what happened along the line but I was also pretty sure that he was serious, he looked offended."Who's Xavier?" "I guess I won't know seeing that you were muttering his name in the dream and almost moaning before I stopped you."I rolled my eyes. " Now, that's a complete lie because I would never moan to another man's name. I don't even know who Xavier is." I responded in an affronted tone. He would lose his shit if he knew that it was none other than my beloved ex-husband. That was his middle name that no one knew about."Okay, maybe the moaning part was a bit of exaggeration but you know what I mean." I shook my head vehemently. " No, I don't know what you mean and I pick an offense to that statement. I understand that things are a bit awkward between us but I'm not some sex starved doll that seeks pleasure anywhere." I replied, making sure to glare at him while at it. He placed his hands in front of me in
Ember’s POVA power struggle was happening quietly that I didn't want to speak about. She was expecting that I replied to her antics but I was hell-bent on showing her that she was not up to the standard. I'd come to learn that ignoring them always did the trick, they say that they don't mind all the time but they get more pained There was a knock on my door and I sighed in relief. Sonia walked in with a pretty smile on her face as she stared at me softly. I stared at her too. " Kindly help me with the kids. I need to sleep." Having a sister-in-law was supposed to help relieve the burden but it only added to the mental stress that I was already going through. " So, tell me what have you been up to regarding the designs that we spoke about?" I hadn't stepped my foot downstairs for a week because I was feeling very tired, lethargic even. If I complained, I would have to go to the hospital which frankly I didn't want to do. Her eyes darted toward mine with a small smile on her face.
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 POVI swiveled at Trent's words. His eyes bulged out as he stared at me, intense anger shining in his eyes as the poor guard was being dragged away. There were certain things that made me a bit tiring to watch or even handle. His anger was one of them."Tell me, what are you snooping around for?" He asked me and I shrugged, stalling to find a plausible excuse that wouldn't reveal what exactly was going on. If he wanted me to actually explain what was going on, he would do more than threaten me because it wouldn't work at all. "You're blowing it out of proportion. It's not what you think.""I heard what he said from the beginning. In what area am I wrong?" He raised his brows in a questioning manner laced with disbelief. He knew that I was lying but sadly there was nothing that he could do to get the information out of me."Are you telling me that I'm crazy? Is that what this is? You should know that it won't work. Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box. You will see what y
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 povThat was my next line of action, making sure that I got the names of all the people who were supposed to be present here without fail. Apparently, their law here was so that the Luna would have time to welcome the Alpha's visitors. It was a sign of respect that had to be followed to the T I didn't have time to differentiate between their faces and names. it would have been better for me to be left alone than to be involved in stuff like this but I guess I had no choice.My eyes wandered to the door. I was still waiting for the next line of action, especially from the event planner. She was supposed to come into the house and tell us how far she had gone. It was almost like a ball and I felt very weak and tired to even make a move.Sonia knocked and I sighed softly. "Are you with the papers? I hear that it's been a little hard for them to be able to reinstate what they were supposed to do. Isn't that abnormal?" I inquired again and she giggled. I could say that Sonia was
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
