《MYTHICAL DESCENDANT: Married to Mr. Fox》Chapter 15: HARD DAY
Advertisement
Ember fell asleep after she returned from Holokai Island. After a few hours, there was a knock on the door. She woke up after hearing the knock.
"Ma'am, sorry to bother you. Someone wants to see you." Tina informed her.
Who wants to see me? Is it Aubrey? Only Aubrey knows I live here. Is it her? She was curious and got up from the bed.
"Okay, I'll be down in a minute."
Ember went down slowly and went to the living room. Apparently, it's Amayah who sat in the living room waiting for her. Ember was shocked to see Amayah. What does she want from me? Why did she suddenly want to see me? Seeing her here makes me uncomfortable.
"Do you want to see me?" Ember asked as she sat down.
"Yes." Amayah is acting arrogant.
"Why? What do you want?"
"You married Jayden without love, right? So, I suggest you divorce Jayden."
Ember frowned, looking at her, "What do you mean?"
"I want you to divorce him. After all, you don't love each other. Jayden likes me. So stop wasting your time wagging your tail at him."
"Wagging my tail? Do you think I'm what, a dog? Ouhh... I remember you said Jayden liked you, so why haven't you been with him all this time? Why only now do you want to be with him?"
Ember started to feel the tension between them.
"There's something you won't understand. I'm sure if you knew this, you would definitely run away. Before you run away, you'd better get a divorce now."
"I'm not going to divorce him, understand! Stop talking about divorce. Because I won't divorce him. Run away? What do you mean, run away? So that means all this time you've been running away, because you can't accept Jayden as he is, right?"
Amayah, feeling irritated, because Ember still insisted, and she raised her voice.
"You! You don't know anything! Jayden is a..."
"Amayah!" Xander shouted at her. "If you still want to live, don't meddle with Jayden's life." Xander warned her with an angry expression.
"Huh, you're just a driver! How dare you want to threaten me?"
Amayah raised her voice and looked at Xander while she squinted her eyes.
"Driver? Huh, you are the one who doesn't know anything. Don't pretend like you know everything if you don't. I can end your life without someone knowing if I want to."
Xander's words make Amayah's face change with fear. Ember felt the tension around both of them and she interrupted.

"Amayah, you better get out of here."
Ember warned her. Amayah stood with a dissatisfied face and left the mansion. Ember was silent because she didn't know what to say, but Xander spoke up.
"I bet you and Jayden haven't made love together yet, right?"
Ember paused for a moment and nodded.
"There are two days left. Better for Jayden not to get married, if in the end he suffers more." Xander sighed, and left Ember.
Ember was confused, and she entered the room with a confused expression. What is this? Even Xander knows I should make love to Jayden before this week is over. What happened here? Ahh... My head hurts thinking about this matter. I don't understand and... Not everything can be solved in one week. At least they should tell me, but they seem to conceal something from me.
On that night, Ember had another dream of the same dream. She woke up from her sleep. She looked at Jayden. He was sleeping soundly. What's wrong with me? Why do I keep repeating the same dream every night? What does it mean? Is it normal to have the same dream every night? She felt weird about her dream, and she really wanted to know the meaning behind her dream.
The next day, Ember woke up from her sleep because she heard a loud noise. She doesn't see Jayden in the bedroom. She came out of the room to find the loud voice. She came to a halt after she saw Fabian and Camilla having a serious conversation with Jayden.
"Jayden, are you out of your mind? Tomorrow is the last day, but you and Ember haven't made love together yet."
Fabian was angry and raised his voice. Ember was startled to see the situation.
"Dad, I want to avoid forcing her to be with me. I want her to accept me as I am." Jayden insisted.
"But why? My dear." Camilla frowned with a confused expression.
"Because I have feelings for her." Jayden expressed his true feelings, and Ember was shocked to hear Jayden's words, because that was an unexpected answer from him.
"Are you afraid she'll be like Amayah?" Camilla asked again.
"No, Amayah made me hate myself. But Ember, I want her to accept me."
"Fine! If that's what you want, maybe this will be the last time we meet." Fabian stormed out of the mansion, furiously.
"Jayden, my dear, we love you so much. Please think carefully. Tomorrow is the last day. We don't want anything bad to happen to you."

Camilla reminded him, and then she left Jayden and followed Fabian.
Jayden sighed, and he turned around and was a little bit shocked to see Ember standing behind him. Jayden just stared at Ember without saying anything, and then he went into his personal room. She remained silent because she didn't know what to do or what to say to him. Because seeing his facial expression makes her freeze.
During lunch, Jayden was not in the dining room. Ember only stared at the food. She waited for Jayden to come out of his personal room. But Jayden did not come out. After lunch, Ember was bored and thought she should give some space to Jayden, so she went to her shop. She took a taxi because she doesn't feel like driving today because her mind is unstable.
Aubrey was shocked to see Ember in their shop. Because Ember told her, she wants to rest for a day because of her leg. But she did come today.
"Ember, isn't your leg sore? Why did you come here?"
"My legs don't hurt so much already. But I'm bored by sitting at home."
"Okay, fine, you can rest here." Then Aubrey continued doing her work.
In the evening before the shop closed, Ember took a white rose home with her. She wanted to give it to Jayden. But Aubrey stared at her curiously and asked.
"Ember, are you okay? I noticed you look gloomy."
"I'm fine..."
Ember responded with a smile. Before they went home, it was raining heavily, and the clock showed 7 p.m.
"Ember, let me send you home. The rain is heavy; it's hard for you to hail a taxi."
"Okay."
They got into the car. On the way to the mansion, Ember was thinking. Will Jayden talk to her? She really wants to talk to him. She's hoping Jayden won't ignore her. On arriving at the mansion, it was still raining heavily.
"Ember, I forgot to keep an umbrella in the car."
"It's okay, I'll take a shower after this. Aubrey, please drive carefully."
"Okay. Don't worry..."
Ember got off of Aubrey's car and ran in the rain. Arriving inside the mansion, Ember went straight into the room. In the room, Jayden is not inside. Ember puts the rose on the table and goes into the bathroom.
After finishing the shower, Jayden still did not enter the room. She left the room looking for Jayden. But then she heard a loud noise. She walked towards the noise. Xander and Tina stood in front of Jayden's personal room. They shouted for Jayden to open the door. Ember was shocked and curious, so she went to meet them.
"Master, please open the door, Master?" Xander knocked on Jayden's personal room loudly. Ember came and asked.
"Xander, what happened?"
Suddenly, in Jayden's personal room, the sound of things falling and Jayden's voice screaming in pain. She was stunned. Her heartbeat was fast because she was shocked and started to worry.
"Jayden! Jayden! Open the door. What happened to you?"
Ember asked in a worried tone, and Jayden's screaming was getting louder.
"Ember, you better get out of here. I'll take care of Master Jayden. You shouldn't look at his condition now."
Xander informed her, but Ember lost her patience.
"Again! again! All of you want to keep it a secret from me. Until when do you want to keep it secret from me? Huh! Am I an outsider? Am I not his wife? Am I married in name only?"
Ember burst into anger. She really can't control herself anymore. Xander was silent, looking at Ember, and saying nothing. Ember left them with a dissatisfied facial expression, and Xander continued to tell Jayden to open the door. However, three minutes later, Ember came back again with a fire extinguisher. Xander was shocked and stopped her.
"Ember, what are you doing? There is no fire here."
"No, it's not for fire. I'll use this to break this door!"
"Ma'am, wait. I have the key." Kyla shouted, running to them.
"Give me the key."
Ember got the key from Kyla, and she wanted to open the door, but Xander asked.
"Are you sure? You won't regret it."
Ember looked at him with a serious expression and said, "No, I'm not."
Then she opened the door to Jayden's personal room. The condition of the room was a mess. Stuff was falling; mirrors were scattered; blood smeared on the floor; but Jayden was not there. What happened here? Ember was perplexed. Did this mess Jayden's doing? Suddenly, she felt a strong presence near her. She turned her head to her left side, and she backed away a few steps in shock.
