Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 905
It was Saturday. Lots of people were at North Florivera Central Square. Everyone was talking when a video showed up on the big screen. People knew about the incident that happened a few years ago. So, when they saw Elliot's face in the video, they knew the woman was Abigail.Soon, someone put the video on the internet, and Abigail and her friends helped spread it. In just a little over an hour, the video was everywhere on the internet, and lots of people were talking about it.Not long after, Abigail got a message from Stella who lived in Hayshiport.Stella: [Abigail, have you seen the video from July 13th?]People started calling it the "July 13th video" because it was shot on that day a few years ago, and nobody knew who the two people in it were.Abigail: [Yeah, I've seen it.]Stella: [Promise you won't get mad? The girl in the video kinda looks like you, doesn't she?]Abigail: [Do you think it still looks like me?]After waiting a few moments, Stella replied: [Wait, is that

Malcolm was worried.Abigail typed back quickly: [We put the video up. Don't worry. I'm okay.]Malcolm: [You guys shared that video? Why? Everyone has seen it! Even if it's a bit blurry, people at your work will know it's you. Aren't you scared of what they might say or think?]Abigail: [I'm not scared!]Malcolm: [...]Abigail: [Do you think that without this video, people wouldn't look at me differently?]The pictures that Daisy put on the internet, which made it look like Abigail was seducing someone else's husband, were just taken from this video. But those pictures made people think the wrong thing about Abigail. Xander had all of Abigail's photos removed from the internet to protect her. Still, he could not make people forget. Lots of folks at work talked about Abigail because of those pictures. So, she wanted to show this video to make them stop talking.Malcolm: [Now, you're not just Abigail. You're the executive assistant for the CEO at Zane Corporation, and you're Xande

Xander said, "If we didn't show this video and stop that person, someone could use it to hurt us and Zane Corporation. But now that we've shown it, no one can use it against you."Even after hearing Xander's confident words, Abigail still felt worried. "Are you sure this won't hurt you?"Xander put his arm around her waist and hugged her close. "Do you think I can't handle this?" She looked up, a bit puzzled. He smiled. "I'm not just Nathan Hart. I'm Xander Zane."Abigail used to think Xander could handle anything. When she first started working with him, she heard rumors about him that made her scared. She was always worried that he might do something weird. Now, Xander was still the powerful CEO of Zane Corporation that everyone was scared of. But since he had become her husband, Abigail had seen a side of him that was less tough and strong, a side he never showed to anyone else. That made her care more about him and worry about him more, too.She cuddled up to him and said, "I j

Harvey said, "All the videos on my phone and in my cloud storage are gone. Now, one of them is even on the big screen at North Florivera Central Square and everywhere on the internet. I can't use them against that girl and Elliot anymore." The other person did not say anything, making Harvey more and more worried. "Well? What should I do?"The other person laughed, but it was not a happy laugh. "If you mess up easy stuff, what can you actually do right?"Harvey quickly said, "I kept the videos safe. I have no idea how they got out or ended up on the big screen."The other person asked, "Who else saw the videos?"Harvey said, "I hadn't even told my wife until tonight. But it can't be her. She's even more worried about the videos than I am.""So only the two of you knew about it?"Harvey quickly said, "Yep." Then, he remembered something. "Oh, wait! There's another guy. He wanted to buy the videos but then didn't want them anymore.""Who?"Harvey said, "I don't know his name. He

Daisy said, "I'm happy if I get what I want. Gavin didn't give me the love I wanted, but I didn't want love from him. I just wanted his status and money."The man said, "You're still the same. You're always clear about what you want."Daisy replied, "You know me best. You helped me through tough times and find happiness. Why would I keep secrets from you? I should really thank you. Without you, I might still be sharing an identity with that despicable woman."The man, knowing what Daisy meant, changed the subject. "Did you hear the old woman from the Renee family got sick and died?""When did that happen?" Daisy asked.The man replied, "Abigail brought her grandma's ashes to North Florivera today. I don't know when she died."Daisy said, "Good. Now, no one will know who I am."The man said, "You know, I feel bad for Leroy. He probably can't figure out why his wife, who said she loved him, left him and their daughter."Daisy scoffed, "He got what he deserved. But listen to this.

After the brave woman spoke out, others also accused Elliot. The police got lots of evidence against him. Online, people guessed Elliot had done many bad things, maybe over ten times. They heard his wife helped him, and they even hurt minors. When minors were involved, it was much worse. Some experts thought Elliot could go to jail for at least fifteen years because of everything he did. But fifteen years was not enough for people online. People were still very angry about what he did and kept talking about it, even late at night.Over at Cassandra's apartment, things were quieter. Most of the people who had come to pay respects to her grandmother had gone home. Only the Thompson and Mane families were left. The elders from both families had been busy earlier, but now they finally had time to check their phones and see the news online.Clara said, "Jodie, that horrible guy, Elliot, has been caught."Jodie said, "It's about time! If he'd been caught earlier, he wouldn't have hurt so

Abigail glanced at the lengthy text message and read it carefully. Her face turned pale as she finished reading it.Xander saw her expression change and moved closer. "What's wrong?"Abigail looked at him, her eyes searching his face, and suddenly asked, "Are you my husband, Nathan Hart?"Xander looked surprised. "Why are you asking that out of the blue?"Abigail thought for a moment and handed him her phone. "I got a weird text. I don't know who sent it, but I think it's from Nova. It's not the first time someone told me Nathan Hart and Xander Zane aren't the same person."Xander took the phone from her, read the message, and looked up. "Do you believe a stranger, or do you believe me?"Abigail said, "I wouldn't show you this if I didn't trust you. I'm just scared, and I need a straight answer."Xander took Abigail's hand and put it on his chest so she could feel his heart beating. He looked at her and said, "Abigail, Nathan Hart and Xander Zane are both me. There's no other pe

Xander gave a smile, but his eyes looked intense and scary. "He wants to see me," Xander said."I'll come with you," Abigail replied.Xander reached over and gently tousled her hair. "Nova had something to do with your grandma's death... Do you really not blame me at all?""I told you, Nova is Nova, and you're you. You're two completely different people," Abigail said. "Whatever he did wrong, it has nothing to do with you.""He gave me my life, and his blood flows in me..." Xander's voice trailed off."So what?" Abigail cut in, her voice strong.Her words made Xander feel brave and warm inside, but he still could not shake the feeling. "Sometimes, I feel like I have dirty blood in me.""Don't think like that," Abigail said. "You know, you and I are kind of in the same boat. You're a victim, too. Whatever bad things Nova did, he should be the one to deal with the consequences. Why should you have to pay for his mistakes?"Xander was about to say something when the doorbell rang.

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
