The hallway felt colder than usual as I made my way to my room. My thoughts were like a stream that was flowing violently, swallowing me in waves of regret and paranoia. How could I have been so reckless?
Liliana had warned me, her voice dripping with that irritating mix of wisdom and condescension she loved to wield. “Don’t confront Abigail while she’s in police custody,” she’d said. “Don’t risk leaving evidence. Be smarter than that.”
But no, I hadn’t listened. I’d let Abigail’s words over the phone ignite a fire in me, one I couldn’t control. And then I had been stupid enough to storm down to the polic

SusannaLiliana didn’t miss a beat. “Stop. Don’t say another word over the phone. Come to my house. Now.”She hung up before I could respond, and I stood there for a moment, staring at the blank screen, her clipped tone replying in my ears. Liliana never panicked, but even she sounded tense, and that only made my anxiety worse.I quickly changed into something casual, a plain dress and flats, and slipped out of the house without a word to anyone. The drive to Liliana’s felt like an eternity as my eyes looked at the road but not really seeing anything. How had Alexander gotten the report? Was there someone else involved? And if he knew… God, if he knew, what would happen to me?

AbigailThe sound of a car woke me up, and I realized I had fallen asleep amidst a pile of documents. Lately, I’ve been getting sleepier and sleepier, probably because of the chaos at home. I’ve been busy taking over the burdens Conrad, my husband, has been carrying, hoping he’ll stop looking so troubled all the time.Looking out the window, I saw Conrad's car pull up. After getting out from the driver’s seat, he bent down to open the door for the passenger side. A woman stepped out and walked into the house. I couldn’t see the woman’s face from the window as it was hidden by her hat. Filled with curiosity, I went downstairs to greet them.As I came down to the bottom and moved toward the foyer, I couldn’t see who it was at first, only Conrad by the doorway, his head bent as he spoke to the woman just beyond my view. I couldn’t make out her words, but the voice was familiar. He was smiling—a smile so wide and bright it made me pause. I took a step closer, and that’s when she came into

AbigailAs I sat there on the examination table, the sharp antiseptic scent in the hospital room pricked at my senses. The doctor asked me seriously, "Are you here alone?""Yes, my family, they’re all busy," I instinctively made an excuse for Conrad. Though the truth was, he and the family doctor were at home, tending to Susanna, who wasn’t even injured but wouldn’t stop crying. Their actions today hurt me more deeply than any shattered fragments. It made me feel that instead of staying there hoping for help, I might as well come to the hospital alone to take care of my wounds.The doctor glanced up, his brows knitting together as he took in my pale face and trembling hands. He’d been treating me in silence for a few minutes now, but I could sense his growing concern. He held my gaze with patience, waiting for me to take a breath and settle myself. “Are you all right?” His voice was soft as if he knew that just the act of being in the same room as this open wound was almost too much f

Abigail “What are you doing in here?” I asked sharply, my voice cutting through the quiet. Susanna held up one of my scarves against her arm, admiring it. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic,” she said, waving a hand. “I’m just getting settled. I’ll be staying in this room.” I blinked, the words taking a moment to sink in. “Excuse me?” Her grey eyes sparkled with amusement. “It makes sense, doesn’t it? You and Conrad need to be close if I need anything, and my room is so far down the hall. It’s just more convenient for everyone if I stay here.” My pulse quickened, anger rising swiftly. “This is our room. I and Conrad’s. You don’t just decide to move in without even asking.” Susanna smirked, unfazed by the heat in my voice. “I wasn’t asking. Conrad said I could stay here.” “Did he?” I said, my tone ice-cold. “I find that hard to believe.” Our voices rose, each word louder than the last, until the door creaked open behind us. Conrad entered the room, his expression wary as he took in the

AbigailMy stomach dropped. “What?” “Susanna fainted,” he said, his voice rising. “The doctors think it could be something she ate. She said it started after breakfast.” “You think I did something to her?” I snapped, my frustration boiling over. “I’m not accusing you,” he said, though his tone didn’t fully match his words. “I just need to know if there was anything unusual in the food. Susanna’s health—”“Was fine when I left the house,” I interrupted sharply. “I made her an omelette. Eggs, cheese, a pinch of salt. Nothing unusual. The same thing I’ve made a hundred times before.” He sighed on the other end of the line, and I could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m not accusing you of anything, Abigail. I just—” “Just what?” I interrupted. “I’m here at the hospital, dealing with my own recovery, and now I have to defend myself because Susanna fainted? You think I’d harm her?” There was a long pause, and for a moment, I thought he’d hung up. Finally, he sai

AbigailHis voice held a hint of tension, and I felt a rush of apprehension.“I—uh, I heard the phone ringing.” I said, my mind racing to think of how to play this off. I couldn’t let him know I’d seen my surprise. “It was so loud, and I thought the call might be important.” His eyes narrowed slightly, and I could see the tension in his posture. He stepped into the room, a flicker of irritation crossing his face. “You shouldn’t have come in here, Abigail. You know how I feel about people being in this room without my permission.” He replied, his tone sharper than I expected.“I’m sorry. I didn’t think it would be a problem,” I replied. “You weren’t around, and it sounded urgent. It was about Alexander. I took the call. They have some leads, and I gave my permission for them to proceed.”The tension between us was thick as I stood there, waiting for Conrad’s response. His brow furrowed as if trying to choose the right words. But when he finally spoke, I felt my frustration boil over a

AbigailA surge of doubt and fear almost made me faint. What if the person in this painting was Susanna? We do look quite alike, but I’m sure the person in the painting is me. It’s identical to the poster from my first role, the one my mother keeps, and I see it every time I go home. But if it’s my painting, why would it be given to Susanna?Susanna’s tears fell in perfect little drops, and her voice trembled with just enough emotion to be convincing.“Every year, Alexander would do something special for my birthday,” she sniffled, clutching the bouquet like a lifeline. “Thank you, Conrad. I never thought... I never thought anyone could make me feel like that again. This makes me feel like he’s still with me.”My husband placed the roses into Susanna’s hands with a smile so warm, it burned. “Happy birthday, Susanna. I hope this reminds you of Alexander—of how much you’re loved.”She burst into delicate sobs, burying her face into the roses as if overcome with emotion. It was a picture-

AbigailMaybe it was because I had just heard his reasonable explanation and trusted him, or maybe I had a feeling there would be more reasons waiting for me. Either way, for the sake of the baby, my sleep was more important than where Conrad went. So, I turned and went straight to bed, deciding to leave the problem for tomorrow.By the time I got up, Conrad was already getting ready to leave.“Good morning,” Conrad stood by the mirror, adjusting his tie with practiced ease. His dark suit was crisp and perfectly tailored, the kind of sharpness that made it immediately obvious he was a man from a powerful family.“Morning,” I replied briefly, leaning against the doorframe, masking my unease with casual conversation. “Where were you last night?” I asked, my voice steady.His hands froze for the briefest second before he recovered quickly, smoothing the tie knot. “Working,” he said simply. “In the study.”I raised a brow, waiting for him to say more, but he didn’t. Instead, as if to steer

AbigailThe shower did little to cool my temper. If anything, it gave me time to stew in the anger boiling in my stomach. My mind raced, running through every possible scenario, every hidden location where Conrad could’ve stowed my mother away. St. Mary’s Memorial was a dead end, and my gut told me it was possible wherever he had moved her to wasn’t even another hospital.Steam curled around me as the hot water poured over my skin, but my fury burned hotter. Conrad might think he had won because I agreed to go to the press conference, but he was sorely mistaken. This wasn’t over—not by a long shot. I would find my mother, and when I did, I’d make him regret ever dragging her into this.When I stepped out of the bathroom, the air outside felt like ice against my skin, but I welcome

AbigailHis words struck me like a slap to the face, leaving me momentarily stunned and trying to make sense of what he had just said.It wasn’t the words themselves that unsettled me—it was the man saying them. My brother, Liam, who had once left a final exam early because of a single emergency text about our mother, only to find out I’d already sorted the issue before he even arrived at the hospital. That was the kind of man my brother was— always putting family first. For as long as I could remember, there was nothing more important to Liam than Mom’s well-being, and I knew that better than anyone.So why was he suddenly acting like a press conference organized by Conrad mattered more than me wanting to see our mother? Over the woman who had worked herself to the bone to raise us?I opened my mouth to ask him that very question, but before I could speak, my phone buzzed in my hand, startling me. I glanced down, gr

AbigailThe ride was suffocating and the silence heavy with an uncomfortable tension. I sat rigidly in my seat, staring out the window as the city streets blurred into one another. I wanted to be anywhere but here, trapped in this confined space with Conrad’s oppressive presence. He sat beside me, scrolling through his phone as if this was just another day for him. Meanwhile, my heart carried a storm of worry and anxiety that threatened to swallow me whole.The thought of my mother—frail, sick, and waiting for me—was like a knife twisting in my chest. Conrad’s words rang in my ears, cruel and manipulative, the way he’d casually mentioned her worsening condition. I knew it was a calculated move, meant to reel me in and keep me under his thumb, but that didn’t stop the panic from setting in. What if he wasn’t lying? What

AbigailConrad’s voice shifted, though he tried to mask it with a pleading tone. “You can’t just walk away,” he said, his voice clipped and strained, like he was trying to maintain some semblance of control. “I need you to come with me.”I yanked my arm out of his grip, glaring at him.. “I don’t care what you need, Conrad.”His jaw tightened, and for a moment, I thought he was going to yell. Instead, he pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling sharply. “You don’t get it, do you? Coming with me to the press conference wouldn’t just help me. It would help you too. The media’s already chewing us both apart. But if you’re seen with me, standing by my side, it’ll bolster my image—and yours. People will see that you’re not the pitiful humiliated wife they’re calling you right now. You’ll look like the bigger person.”I stared at him, dumbfounded by his gall. “What makes you think I’d want to do anything to help you? After everything you’v

AbigailConrad was still standing there, radiating that maddening arrogance of his, like he had any right to play the victim. As I turned away, I could feel his eyes boring into my back. I didn’t need to turn around to know he was fuming, probably chewing over some pathetic excuse to wriggle his way out of the noose he’d tied for himself. His footsteps followed after me, and before I could get far, he called out, his voice sharp and commanding.“Abigail, wait.”I stopped dead in my tracks. Not because I wanted to hear anything he had to say, but because I wanted to make it clear—this wasn’t me walking away out of weakness. This was me walking away because I was done. Finished.“What now, Conrad?” I turned to face him, arms

AbigailThe sound of footsteps echoed down the empty corridor, making me perk up as each step grew closer. I didn’t need anyone to tell me I was getting out today. I had already seen the news segment that exposed Conrad, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better from Alexander. He had gone to the best. The fact that Channel 15—the station Conrad swore by and was always his first go to for news—had been the first to break the story was the cherry on top. I could almost picture the way his face must have twisted in shock and rage as he helplessly saw his perfect image splinter on live television.When the officer finally appeared at my cell door, jangling his keys, I was already standing. I tilted my head at him as he unlocked the door, my lips quirking into the faintest hint of a smirk.“Do I have a visitor?” I asked, my voice low and calm, though I already knew the answer.The officer shook his head, pushing the cell door

ConradSean Miller’s voice was deceptively calm as he began to speak, but I could hear the steel underneath, the quiet venom that made every word cut sharper than it should have.“The evidence of Conrad Remington’s affair is difficult to ignore,” Sean said, his tone heavy with implication. “In fact, it’s downright embarrassing. After seeing what we’ve seen, I’m sure our viewers will agree.”The screen flickered, and three images appeared side by side. I froze. My heart stopped, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe.I knew the video those pictures were pulled from. I’d know it anywhere.The first image showed me clearly—my face unmistakable—kissing Susanna. It wasn’t just a kiss; it was heated, passionate, and incriminating. The second photo was worse: my hand gripping Susanna’s waist as she leaned into me, her face blurred but my identity clear to anyone who was watchi
