Abigail 

*

I took a breath, refusing to let Susanna’s words push me into foolish anger. Without a word, I attempted to step past her, already done with whatever game she was playing. But she moved quickly, blocking my way again. I had known from the moment I saw her come into the office that she had an agenda, but this was ridiculous.

Her grip latched onto my arm, her fingers digging in just enough to make faint red marks on my skin. Oh for sure, she was trying to piss me off.

"You’re truly heartless," she whispered, her voice scathing. "You really don’t care about anything, do you?"

I yanked my arm back, but she tightened her hold.

"After everything you did to Marcy," she continued, eyes flashing with something dangerous, "After pushing her to theft and causing her to lose her job, you just… resume life as usual? Like nothing ever happened?"

I clenched my jaw.

"Meanwhile," she went on, voice risin

    Abigail The venom in her voice was breathtaking, and for once, it wasn’t directed at me."That woman"—she spat the word like it burned—"has clung to him his entire life! And for what? To suffocate him? To chain him down like some pathetic little boy who needs her guidance?" She laughed bitterly. "She never raised a man—just a weak, spineless fool who lets a washed-up old crone dictate his life!"I couldn’t even get a word in – Susanna was on a roll."And then there’s Liliana—" She practically spat her sister’s name. "Liliana the know-it-all, Liliana the cold, unfeeling b*tch who never once considered anyone’s suffering but her own!" Her face twisted with contempt. "Oh, poor Liliana, so burdened by her stupid sister’s mistakes, so busy scheming to save me while looking down on me!"Her voice was growing shriller, her fury crackling in the air between us."And that disgusting little gremlin she calls a son—"Not even the little liar was safe from Susanna’s anger."Henry," she sneered.

    Abigail*Liliana’s voice broke the stunned silence, as sharp and exasperated as ever. “For heaven’s sake, what is wrong with all of you?”The crowd’s attention swayed, shifting from Susanna to the approaching figure forcing her way through them like Moses dividing the Red Sea. The employees stepped aside hesitantly, some muttering under their breaths as Liliana shouldered past them, barely bothering with niceties. She looked as irritated as ever, her face pinched with annoyance as though this entire spectacle was beneath her.She was shrugging off her jacket as she moved, all the while murmuring curses under her breath and by the time she reached Susanna, she had already swung it around, draping it over the torn section of her Susanna’s blouse. The gesture was smooth and looked almost maternal in nature, but I wasn’t fooled.Liliana never did anything without purpose.As if sensing my skepticism, she let out a theatrical sigh, shaking her head in disapproval. “Honestly, why are all o

    AbigailMy knees buckled, and I staggered, fighting to keep my balance, but before I could steady myself, a harsh grip latched onto my wrist. My eyes flew open. It was Susanna and her fingers were digging into my skin with an almost manic strength, pulling me forward.I had opened my disoriented eyes just in time to see her falling, and for some asinine reason, she was trying to drag me with her.For a second, my mind couldn’t catch up to what was happening. Was she actually trying to pull me down alongside her? A fresh wave of nausea crawled through me, but this time, it had nothing to do with my blood phobia. She was implementing the plan she had failed to carry out earlier, when it was just me and her.A sick realization crawled down my spine. She was trying to harm her baby, and blame it on me.Susanna hit the ground hard, the slap of her body against the cold tile echoing sh

    Abigail*I was still standing in the same spot, frozen in a state of half-disbelief, when Alexander wheeled over to me. The sounds of the commotion had long faded down the hall now that all the employees has left in such a hurry but I was still reeling from all that had happened in just a short few minutes.Susanna and her sister had truly reached a new level of scheming today. And the worst part? I wasn’t even surprised. Disgusted? Yes. Exhausted? Absolutely. But surprised? No.I inhaled deeply, willing my pulse to calm down, when I heard Alexander’s voice cut through the quiet between us.“I’m sorry for Susanna’s behavior,” he said. I blinked, startled by his words. Of all the things I had expected him to say, that was not one of them. He must have noticed my surprise because he let out a quiet chuckle, though there was no real amusement behind it. “She’s my wife,” he continued, “which

    My heart pounded as I rushed after the woman, my feet moving faster than my thoughts. The resemblance was uncanny. The way she carried herself, the soft floral scent that lingered in the air—it had to be who I thought it was!Without thinking, I reached out and grabbed her sleeve. “Mom?”She stopped abruptly, turning with a startled expression, and the moment our eyes met, the breath in my lungs vanished. It wasn’t my mother.The features were all wrong. Her eyes were too sharp, and brown instead of gray. Her mouth was too narrow, and her hair, though neatly pinned back, was too thick and full. This woman was younger than my mother, maybe in her late forties, and the diamond earrings she wore hinted she was accustomed to a life of affluence. She had none of the warm, familiar presence I had been expecting.I stared at her, my fingers still curled into the fabric of her sleeve as my mind struggled to catch up with reality. It wasn&rsq

    Abigail*The idea of being in Susanna’s world while she had no idea of it was electrifying to simply think of, but I forced myself to push it aside for now. I took a deep breath as I stepped out of the restroom, smoothing my hands down the front of my blouse and pointedly avoiding eye contact with the part of my sleeve Susanna had smeared her blood against. I had more immediate concerns right now, like Alexander who was waiting for me in the hospital’s waiting room.By the time I reached him, I had schooled my expression into something passably placid. He glanced up from his phone as I approached, his inquiring gaze immediately scanning my face.“There you are,” he said, slipping his phone into his pocket. “How did it go?”

    AbigailLiam was practically bouncing on his feet, his eyes bright with excitement. I tried to return the energy, but I was thrown off by the sudden announcement. The best I could manage was a blink. “What?” “I know, right? I still can’t believe it!” A rush of warmth filled my chest at his happiness. Liam had always dreamed of going to university, but our financial situation had made it difficult. He had been looking into scholarships in the past, but I knew he was worried about the competition and whether he would qualify for enough aid. My first thought was that maybe he had applied for yet a grant or scholarship without telling me. Maybe he hadn’t been confident about getting it and wanted to keep it a secret until it was confirmed. “You applied for something?” I asked, trying to keep up. Liam shook his head, still grinning. “Nope! Didn’t have to.” That made me pause. If he hadn’t applied for anything, then where was this coming from? “Wait.”

    Abigail*His words stung. I clenched my fists, but I forced myself to pause. Getting angry wouldn’t help. I needed to see this from his perspective. To him, I probably looked like I was sabotaging his future out of spite, out of some petty grudge against Conrad and Marceline. I could understand why he would think that. It wasn’t easy to turn down a chance like this, especially when we had spent years worrying about money.So I softened my voice, doing my best to keep calm. “Liam,” I said, “you may have noticed by now, but I’m planning to leave Conrad.”Liam’s brows shot up slightly, but he didn’t interrupt.“When I tried to serve him divorce papers,” I continued, “he changed in the blink of an eye. He used the fact that he paid for Mom’s cancer treatments a

    SusannaI stormed out of Conrad’s office, my heels clicking loudly against the floor in my haste. My head echoed with every insult I didn’t bother to say aloud. If he wanted to be such an ass, fine. Let him sulk in his gloomy little corner. Honestly, I didn’t know what was wrong with him lately. First, he acts like we’re on the same page, like he wants Abigail ruined just as badly as I do. Then, when I hand him everything on a silver platter—the trending headlines, the public disgrace, even a reason for that witch of a woman to crawl back to him—he turns into some kind of monk.And for what? Because I suggested we celebrate? Because I tried to kiss him?I muttered under my breath as I passed his secretary. She chirped a fake sweet "have a good day" at me, and I didn’t even b

    ConradThe performance reports for my marketing teams were waiting for me by the side of my desk, but my eyes were fixed on my phone screen. I reclined slightly in my chair, one leg crossed over the other, my finger steadily scrolling as article after article loaded. It had been nearly a full day but they were still there, dozens of them multiplying like weeds, no matter how many got reported or removed. And the longer they lingered, the more outrageous the headlines became."Like Brother, Like Sister? Inside Abigail’s Troubled Bloodline!" "From Rags to Riches to Madness: Abigail Remington’s Crumbling Fairytale."I chuckled under my breath. Public perception was like wet clay. Mold it right, and you could make anything stick. And now, Abigail&rsquo

    AbigailI spooned the soup into my mouth like it was my punishment. Warm, bland, and textureless. I could tell it was good, probably some expensive place Daniel had ordered from, but to me, it might as well have been ash. I chewed mechanically, my eyes glued to the TV where an explosion lit up the screen in vibrant orange and yellow. The sound was muted. I wasn’t really watching. Just staring. The kind of stare where your eyes are open but your mind has long since wandered off into the darkness.I just needed to eat enough to keep my strength up. That was the logic. Strength for what, I wasn’t entirely sure. Everything, I suppose. For waking up tomorrow. For standing without swaying. For fighting.The truth was, my body felt numb and foreign to me. My limbs moved out of habit, not will. My chest felt hea

    AlexanderI sighed and set the report down beside me on the bed, the paper softly brushing against the cotton sheets. My fingers went up to the bridge of my nose, rubbing slowly, hoping the dull ache building behind my eyes would ease with a little pressure. It didn’t. I leaned back against the headboard, letting my head rest there for a moment, trying to push back the weight of what I’d just read in Daniel’s report.I’d skimmed it yesterday, noted the key points, but tonight I’d finally read it through properly, line by line. And with each sentence, it had become more and more obvious that Liliana was tangled in something deeper than she had any right to be. She had ties I couldn’t yet understand how she had made, ties that enabled her to position herself at the heart of things. I picked up the report again and flipped to the section Daniel had titled Property Chain Discrepancies. According to his investigation, during the

    ConradThe water was cold. Not lukewarm, not cool but cold. It hit my skin like a punishment, like maybe if I stood under it long enough, it would drown the rage boiling in my blood. But it didn’t.Hours had passed since I left Ravenbrook, and still, my jaw was clenched and my shoulders were tight. I stood there, letting the freezing water run down my body, but none of it soothed me. If anything, the silence only made it worse. My thoughts kept circling like vultures, refusing to leave the taste of what I had experienced behind. The humiliation, the shock, the audacity of it all.I couldn’t get rid of Abigail’s expression in my thoughts. She’d looked at me like I was nothing. Like I didn’t matter at all. And that bastard beside her, Daniel, or whoever the hell he thought he was, hadn’t even flinched when I threatened him. He had just stood there, smug behind his glasses, acting like I was some nuisance in my own estat

    ConradThere was something off about him.I stared at Alexander’s secretary, Daniel, my eyes narrowing as I tried to place what it was. Maybe it was the posture. It was too confident even though he was just standing there. Secretaries didn’t stand like that, not in the presence of someone like me. Or maybe it was the steady way he looked at me, holding my gaze like he was reading me, daring me to blink first.A smirk nearly twitched across my lips. He was bolder than most.Still, it didn’t matter. Whatever game he was playing, I would end it the way I ended every threat; cleanly, decisively, and with little patience for dramatics. If he thought I was bluffing by telling him he wouldn’t make it back to Alexander in one piece, he was in for the rudest kind of awakening. I had disposed of men for less than standing on my property with that look in their eyes. And the fact that this was the same idiot who kept turning up around Abigail

    Abigail“Just wait a little bit,”Alexander continued, his eyes trained on my face. “One of my men will drive you to the hospital for a check up. I’ll join you as soon as I finish up here.” He took one of my shaking hands in his and gave it a gentle squeeze before letting go.The heater’s warmth crawled up my limbs slowly, but it couldn’t seem to reach my chest. I sat quietly in the passenger seat, wrapped tightly in the towel he had draped over me, watching him walk away toward the manor. My fingers, still trembling slightly, clutched the towel closer. The moment he shut the car door, I already missed his presence. It had felt like something I could hold onto, like safety.But then the silence was broken by the low rumble of engines growing louder by the second. I turned just in time to see two sleek black cars screech into the front courtyard, tires groaning in protest. This was the kind of loud entrance only someone li

    AbigailThe first thing I felt as I came to was cold. Not just the kind that prickled the skin or made you shiver, but the kind that sank deep into the marrow, slow and consuming. It felt like the chill in the air had seeped into my bones and decided to settle there, like a second skeleton made of frost. I wanted to curl in on myself, but even that movement felt too much. My body was strangely weak.Against the freezing cold, a searing heat pressed against my lips, like fire on ice...someone’s lips? I stirred weakly, and in the hazy waking that followed, I became aware of warm droplets falling onto my cheek. Tears, but they weren’t mine.I opened my eyes.Alexander’s face swam into view above me. His brows were drawn together in anguish, but his eyes lit up with such sudden relief when he saw I was awake, it made my heart twist. There were tears in his eyes, actual tears, and I don’t think he even noticed them until I reached up with trembling fingers and brushed one away.“You’re cry

    Conrad This was wrong. All wrong. I took a slow sip of my whiskey, trying to let the burn of it distract me, but it didn’t work. The woman in front of me, the one I had spent a ridiculous amount of money perfecting, stood stiffly, her hands clasped together, head tilted downward like a scolded child. She was supposed to look like my wife. She did, to an extent. The hair, the eyes, even the perfume; those details were correct. But everything else? Off. Her posture was wrong. Abigail didn't carry herself like an 1900's schoolgirl expecting a caning. Abigail never failed to meet my eyes even when I was spitting fire. Her quiet confidence couldn't be taught. This woman? She was trying too hard, and it irritated me. I sighed, rolling the glass between my fingers before setting it down with a dull clink. This would have to do for now. I couldn’t have Abigail yet, but I needed something, someone, to fill the void, and it couldn't be Susanna. At least, not for now. Mother had been s
