Ember's POVChapter 33I glanced at Trent and discovered that he was frowning angrily. He didn't like his sister. Okay, it seemed as though there was more than met the eye."Good afternoon... You're welcome." I interjected and the siblings glared at me.I nodded, my bad. I guess I was not supposed to engage in their rivalry. "I'm sorry for intruding." I whispered and made a move to walk away only to be drawn back by Trent.Her gaze followed the action and she burst into laughter. "Oh, my goodness, don't tell me that you now have a wife?" She breathed as though it was a far-fetched concept. I guess she could never imagine that it would come true in this world and I stared at her waiting for her to be done with her mockery. Maybe then, we could know the reason she was here.Her gaze ran over me from head to toe and I kept staring at her likewise. She hummed, " She's not bad. the problem I have with this now is the fact that I cannot understand why someone would not be worried that their
Ember's POV"Are you okay with that portion my love?" Trent inquired as we sat down for dinner. I didn't know why he was acting all lovey-dovey. Oh, I think I understand now. He wanted his sister who sat opposite us to be very pained and I was very happy.I smiled at him, playing along, "Great, I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you in my life. I mean no one would have imagined that we would be together to this point. I would have not believed it even." I said laughing heartily too. "Good, I don't know what I'd do without you either." Elise's gaze narrowed at me but I didn't spare her a single glance whatever she decided to do was her business. "Why aren't you marked yet?" She inquired and I stared at her. She shrugged. " For people who claim to be so in love with each other you sure do not have the sign." "Oh, really?" He replied and she nodded."Well, my baby and I do not want the pain that comes with marking plus it's nobody's business whether we get marked or not."
Ember's POV"Get out of my house, I don't want to see you here, you had the guts to bring a bastard into my house?" Trent thundered and I winced. I knew the next thing that he was about to say so I quickly jumped into the conversation. It was one thing to scold someone. It was another thing to be vengeful while doing it. Elise stared at Sonia as if she was the worst sinner on earth. " I keep telling you all the time that certain people shouldn't be allowed into the premises because it's dangerous. How can you who know that you're a pauper, you have no one decide to fall pregnant?" She demanded."Can we be calm about the whole issue?" I butted in. This looked like sheer oppression but we weren't ready for this conversation. " I don't know what you are doing, can't we all see that the girl is exhausted?" Elise scoffed, " but she wasn't exhausted when she was raising her legs and moaning in pleasure." She snapped."That's too much information. We don't need that. Why are you acting lik
Xander's POVMy heart traveled to Ember as I wondered what she'd be doing right now. If she were here, she'd be helping me with these accounts but here was Ellie sleeping and snoring Well, I didn't blame her. Pregnancy was rumored to be very stressful. I was grateful that hers only made her demand unnecessary attention and sleep a lot. She was not a picky eater neither was she puking constantly.That would have been a bit hard for me to navigate so I guess I had to make do with what I got. "What are you thinking of?" Her voice cut into my thoughts and I turned. "You look stressed. Is it the accounts? You can call Grace to help you with it" she said all at once yawning at the end of her speech and I rolled my eyes."Yeah, thanks." "You've been acting moody for a while now. is there anything I can help you with?" She replied and I shook my head. She couldn't cure my problem. What I was feeling was greater than what she thought."I'm having issues with resolving this account but I don'
Ember's POVWhen we were heading back from the hospital, Trent and I were in utter silence. I stared at him occasionally to gauge his reaction but from what I saw I noticed that he was very furious and I didn't bother to say anything. His anger had to be assuaged when he wanted it to."Aren't you even in the least apologetic about the way you made me worry when there was actually nothing wrong with you?" He inquired and I stared at him softly. He was not going to let me live this down.When we arrived at the hospital the doctor confirmed that I was okay and just needed to take my medications causing him to be very wroth with me.I felt as though I got away with a lot of things because he kept considering that I was just a female who didn't know anything and I was happy about that. He didn't need to change it. "I'm sorry about that." "No, you're not sorry, you know what you did, so your apology is quite useless to me. Instead of me accepting your apology, I'd rather send her packing."
Ember's POVThe next few days began with me making sure that I was invested in pack affairs. Mainly because Elise was still around and I knew that she was going to run me mad. In the spirit of avoiding everyone that was destined to make me cranky, I went out everyday."Luna Ember, I didn't know that you visited this place." A woman said. She was at the spinning machine, weaving yarn while I watched her."Yes, I do." " Please come have a seat." She said while taking a glance at my now protruded stomach.I was interested in seeing how they wove materials, coming from where we bought most things. I loved the art that went in toward this. It made me feel happy that some people had this much love for art."Would you like some juice?" She offered but I wrinkled my nose. I wasn't really in the mood to drink anything because I feared that I might end up throwing up which wouldn't be too good considering the fact that the doctor told me to ease off any stress.She sighed and glanced at me surr
Ember’s POVI looked at Meg for a long time, squinting my eyes at her before I finally parted my lips, "What do you mean by that?" My voice was rather rash and cold.Meg was quiet for some time and I was already getting curious before she finally spoke, "I heard a rumor." She said ever so slowly and that piqued my interest a little bit. Rumor? I wondered what kind of rumor was that?"And?" I asked after I noticed that she didn't want to speak since she kept quiet."In one particular time, rumors flew around that the wife that Trent married before you separated from him due to..." She was quiet for some time again and I squinted my eyes at her again, trying to know what she was implying and I knew it, she parted her lips again and spoke, "They separated due to infertility, but don't worry, no one really knows the details and it isn't certain yet." I was scared for a while, it seemed like life and hope were drained away from me. Infertility? What was that about? I couldn't even wrap my
Ember’s POV“Let's talk through Facetime honey.” My father said and I nodded, before switching to it. My father stared at me for a moment, his eyes mostly filled with a confused glare. He opened his mouth to speak but paused and then turned towards his mirror and started to check himself out. “What is wrong with you?” He said with a sigh. I walked around and faced him again. “Nothing, I am perfectly fine,” I said with my gaze fixated on him. “I just want to know why you brought Trent here of all people to marry me?” I asked again. “Why the warrior?” My father cocked his head down, as he always does when he was fed up with a conversation. “I brought him here because I wanted to expand my business,” he said. “I asked Xander to, but he wasn't responsive…” he paused and looked at me. “Look, Xander wasn't interested in the business and I had to look for someone else. Someone willing to do what it takes, that's all it is about.” I looked at him, squinting my eyes, I now wore the former lo
