The Devil's Ember

Emberline Stark felt like an idiot. She had lost her wealth. Her Fiancé. Her name. Her self. All in one day. She wanted to end it all, to stand on that bridge and give it all up. But just before she leaped, a hand grabbed her. Now she is forced into a contract marriage with the nation's play boy and a modelling career. But when she discovers her husband's true identity, she must choose between her soul and her dreams. **** "I promise I didn't gawk...much." he said with a smirked. My cheeks went from red to super hot and I said the one word that came to my head, "Pervert!!!"

A sad lady

"Well, well, well…is this what you do now? Go to rich people resorts and try to sell your body?" Aurora asked with a smile on her lips.

It looked innocent, even the way she had said it, it looked as if she meant no harm, her blue eyes looked innocent as well and would make you want to believe her.

That deep red hair falling over her shoulders, a bow at the back, the doe eyes pointy nose and pouty lips.

The country greatest super model, heiress of the stark hotel, queen of the northern isles Aurora Stark or should I say Mrs. Aurora Iron.

I gulped down the bile that rose in my throat and forced a smile on my face. My eyes refusing to look at the man who stood by her side, the man who was pressing his phone as if I did not exist.

"It's good to see you again, Aurora" I replied as nicely as I could, even though my fists were clenched behind my back.

Aurora giggled, in her girly childish manner the type that would make you not even want to hurt her. So innocent, my father use to say.

But I know, only I knows that she was a manipulative daughter of a bitch.

"It's good to see you again sister," she then tapped Jaxon's arm. "Darling, aren't you going to say hi to my sister?"

This was only when he lifted his eyes and looked at me. Emotionless.

Those eyes that I thought use to be fill with love, held nothing of sort. His boyish charm, gone as he gave me a curt nod as if I was a stranger.

I did not want to create a scene but it hurts, fuck it hurts. Ever touch, every smile he gave me…why can't I get over him? Why had I love him more than he loved me?

"I heard about your wedding," I said. "It was a nice view to watch from the top of a bridge. Entertaining."

Aurora frowned, she always looked cute when she did it, especially with the way her nose scrunch. Is this what had made Jaxon fall in love with her? Her innocent looks or her model body? How long have it been going on? Was it when he left the city for a so called "business trip", which I also believed Aurora gave the same excuse.

I looked down at Aurora's finger, which held a dazzling diamond ring and bit my lips.

"What were you doing on a bridge?" Aurora asked.

"Oh, I went there for the breeze. You know I needed it after finding out how natural my ex fiancé could jump on two ships?" I looked at Jaxon spitefully. "Did you enjoy kissing me, holding me while you were plunging your dick somewhere else?"

I wish I could bite my tongue after saying that vulgar word.

I should have just walk away I shouldn't have stayed why am I still standing here by the elevator, why is my feet still stuck to the ground when I could just walk away.

Jaxon narrowed his eyes, "Emberline, you left me on our wedding day, didn't tell me why and now you accuse me of sleeping with someone else?"

"Oh don't act innocent Jaxon, if you weren't then why are you married to my sister? Is that what turns you on, playing with two sisters? Are you such of a sick fuck?"

Oh my goodness, where were all these words coming from?

Aurora looked at me bleary eyed. "Sister, don't see it that way…he"

"First of all," Jaxon interrupted her as he stepped closer to me. "If you had not been so conservative maybe I would not look elsewhere. I mean…what did I even see in you, you don't maintain your blonde hair, you are skinny, too much bones and then let's not talk about your scars that makes me want to vomit–arrgh!!"

His scream immediately silenced the commotion as he held his balls. I wished I had kicked him a bit more harder. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at us. Royal family and an unimportant girl in a fight, that's exactly what would be on the news.

"Ember!!! How could you hit my husband??"

The prince royal guards rushed forward but Jaxon raised his hand to stop them.

I didn't bother to look at Aurora, instead I looked at Jaxon who was still clutching his balls. My eyes was cold, I wish it could shoot lasers and turn him into ashes.

"I blame myself for being vulnerable to you," I said through gritted teeth. "You are a bastard Jaxon and I am going to make you pay. All of you, I hope you die a horrible death!"

Ignoring the audience around me, I looked at Aurora. "You think you are all that but you are just a pathetic little girl wanting attention that she never deserves"

I flipped my hair, keeping my head high, ignoring the cameras that was videoing the scene and walked out of the building but not before I heard Jaxon say, "She is a sad woman with a broken heart, ignore her…"
