Abby's father appeared at Steven's house, ran fast upstairs, and barged inside their bedroom rushingly. There, he noticed both Steven and Abby were lying unconscious in the bed. He then approached them, fluttering.He quickly covered his nose, sniffing around the stinky atmosphere. "She drank again?!" He was pissed off.Thereafter, he pulled Steven off her before lifting and carrying her in his arms. Leaving Steven to be there unconscious, Abby's father walked out of the room with Abby in his arms.The dawn brightened the living hall, announcing the warning to Abby's father while he was stroking her hair fondly, waiting for her to wake patiently.Witnessing her eyelashes twitching, which meant she was going to wake soon, he smiled a little in gladness and disappeared before she opened her eyes.Inside the bedroom, Steven agitatedly awoke and was flustered at Abby's absence."Abby! Abby!" He shouted, looking around the room first, and rushed out. He then came downstairs without even be
To his aghast, she struck him hard on the cheek, causing him to groan, grabbing the jaw, "Uugh..."He rolled his confused gaze at her, groaning slightly."How was it?" She asked. Sarcasm replaced the lust.He could only blink, extremely conflicted. "It hurts!" He muttered, looking mad."That's how I felt back then when I found out about Clara and Mina." She growled, shooting fumes.Steven sighed in regret, fixing his scowl eyes at her. "But I explained al—"Her thumb finger braced his lower lip and muted him.He carried his sassy look up at hers only to realize the possessiveness was still dancing in her eyes.He clutched her wrist and pulled it off from his lips before asking, "What do you want me to do about that?""Do you love me?" She interrogated him."Yes!" He replied shortly."Then you must know what to do about that." She said, stood up, and stepped out of the bathtub.He grabbed her hand, asking, "Where are you going? Aren't we agreed to bathe together?""Come to me only afte
His sustainable fondle over her neck pulled her eyes to track him. With his spontaneously glowing dragon-like eyes, he intensively gazed at her conflicted eyes. That triggered an instant arousal of her heartbeat. A mild gasp escaped her lips. "Steve..." "Hmm?" His velvety voice was heard in proximity to her ear. That rushed something between her legs, getting her blushed cheek into his sight. Another mild gasp released, "You..." When he separated her legs, she couldn't decide whether to stop him or obey him. However, she kept maintaining eye contact with Steven, who was leering at her lips intensively. His hand grasped her waist tenderly and pulled her onto him as their private area, which was still undressed, could get a sudden touch on each other. Abigail's eyes went wide as she perceived an unfamiliar, essential rapture spread throughout her body. "Do you want it?" Steven asked, swirling his finger over her front neckbone. His steady gaze at her was evident that he desperate
"Your daughter is drunk and sleeping at the bus stop alone. There are strangers leering at her." He enunciated the situation.That worsened her father's heart. "Can you please tell me which bus stop was that?""Route 4, 74,""How did she go this far?" Her father flustered, not knowing how to bring his daughter."Where are you? Is your house far from here?""Yes. Sir, can you help me bring her to Disney Land? Our house is near that place." Her father provided him with the address."Okay, sir." He responded quickly."Your name?" Her father asked."Steven," he replied shortly."Thank you, Steven." Her father paid his respect beforehand.He disconnected the call and tried to wake up Abby.The phone rang. That was from her father.He attended it, "Hello?""Can you please keep the call? After all, she is a woman." Her father indirectly divulged that he can't trust him blindly.Perceiving father's discomfort Steven agreed politely, "Sure, sir."Keeping the phone in his pocket, he informed he
The next day, at a random restaurant."Here is the first option!" Annie showed a non-attractive man to Abby, while Abby was already disgusted by his behaviour towards her.He offered her his food with a bare hand and grabbed the spoon with the same hand without even wiping the mess."I reject!" Abby opposed it assertively."Here is the second option!" Annie showed up with another man who looked like he hadn't eaten for a week.Observing a vexed expression from her, Annie kicked him outside."Here is the last option I have." This time he appeared like he could meet Abby's expectations. However, Abby deselected him also."What are you thinking in your mind? This is just a contract marriage, not a real one! Why do you expect the groom to be beautiful? Accept the reality." Annie shouted in exasperation.But Abby leaned her head on the table, realising a gigantic, desperate sigh."Then you have no choice but to live with that ugly man." Annie also adjoined with her. "No one will come for j
Days passed. Wedding day approached. Abby was frustrated, not knowing what to do. Her father came inside the bride's room. Noticing her in the same normal dress, he scolded, "What are you doing without wearing a wedding dress?"He picked up the dress and handed it to her as she blankly stared at herself miserably in the mirror.Taking a deep breath in, she put the wedding dress on.Unfortunately, Abby's tension aroused as she was escorted to the altar and walked down the aisle.Now she was standing in front of her father's chosen groom. She gave a disgusted look as soon as his sight fell on her. The priest began to read the vow.Abby's mind is bewildered to go on with what is going on right now.Accidentally, she glimpsed Steven standing next to her father, watching her. "What is he doing here?" She mumbled with conflict. That caught the groom's attention right away.Thinking she was asking something to him, the groom smiled, "What?"Abby switched her gaze to the groom and shook her h
She then visited the big house, wondering how rich people's lives would be. She reached the balcony. The time she glanced at the big pool, her jaw dropped in amazement."Wow! He is living his greatest life." She voiced envy with her longing eyes. Meanwhile, she blinked like something struck in front of her eyes."One sec!" A crocodile smile peeked at her lips. "I can have this luxury life for one year, and that handsome man is my husband. Wow! What a luck!" She amazed herself.She veered around the room, which was allocated to her. She found plenty of beautiful dresses in the wardrobe. She chose one and changed into it from the wedding dress. She then headed downstairs with the joyful jump on the staircases.Suddenly, she halted, hooking her confused eyes at the big TV screen. "I don't have a phone. How do I proud myself by bragging about this wonderful house to my friend?""I have a billionaire man as my husband." She voiced well-pleasedly throwing herself on the sofa. She then turne
The next day. While Steven was making breakfast in the kitchen, he got a whiff of a fragrance attacking his nose from inhaling his food's aroma. Wrinkling his face in disgust, he threw his gaze at the staircase side, where that fragrance was coming from. His face expressed a hint of repulsiveness at Abby, who dressed elegantly like going to a party. Her quarter of fair, flawless skin was exposed in that dress, and her front neckbone too. She flipped back her pretty long, shiny hair, knowing Steven's eyes were tacked on her. As she came straight towards him, he regretted the decision he made to agree to her contract marriage. Despite her too much makeup messing up her style, it suited her dress well. "Are you going to attend the exam with this dress?" Steven asked, projecting a nauseated expression. "Yes," confidence swirled in her response. She peeked at the dishes he was making and smiled. "This is for me!" He strictly spoke and covered the pan from her sight. With broken ha
To his aghast, she struck him hard on the cheek, causing him to groan, grabbing the jaw, "Uugh..."He rolled his confused gaze at her, groaning slightly."How was it?" She asked. Sarcasm replaced the lust.He could only blink, extremely conflicted. "It hurts!" He muttered, looking mad."That's how I felt back then when I found out about Clara and Mina."

"Who? Me?" Duri asked sarcastically."Yes, can't you?""She won't even look at my eyes. How can I make her do that? Just find another way!" Duri said and left the chat.Flashing the desire through his eyes, he ran his fingers over his jaw and queried, "Do you love me?"She opened her eyes and gawped at him foolishly.Caressing her chin for a moment, he drove his fingers down her fair neck and repeated gazing into her eyes, "Do you love me?"She leaned in, aiming for his lips. Unfortunately, he turned aside and asked again, "Do you love me?"There were no fluctuations in his voice. It was filled with calm and patience only.She gripped his chin and twisted it towards her forcefully before glaring, "Are you going to do it or not?""Do you love me or not?" He repeated, making her know that was a warning.She leaned in closer, puckering her lips. Almost got a breeze of his breath. To her misfortune, he pushed her face back just by pressing his index finger on her forehead.She sighed and
The sky slowly turned dark, displaying the multiple stars and the full moon. Abby blinked emotionally, watching the moon's shadow shaking on the river water by the reflection.Inside the CCTV monitor room, Steven was watching Abby, sitting on the chair with his legs over the table.He spotted her crouching, her upper body, rubbing her arms.He left the seat immediately and walked off the monitor room.She turned to his footsteps and looked up at him, stretching his jacket."Put this on if you're going to stay here long." He said, gazing at her calmly.Observing his glowing eyes, which were illuminated by the moonlight, she inhaled deeply. "I want to drink," she proclaimed, simmering her voice."Drinks?" He asked, hesitating for a moment as he remembered himself about her drunken behavior.Abby stood up and repeated, "I want to drink. Bring me to our house." Then she got in the car, knowing Steven wouldn't refuse her request.He rolled down his eyes at his pants at a slow pace, feeling
The elevator door closed.Suddenly, Duri veered around and darted at the floor numbers, which indicated the elevator was going up. He then ran rapidly towards that staircase area.Clara came out from Steven's office room.Duri came fast to the floor where Steven's office was and stood in front of the elevator. He breathed heavily, fixing his eyes on the center of the elevator door.Clara was coming along the hallway behind Duri.The elevator opened.Abby lifted her feet to step out but backed off right away, glancing at Duri's panting face."Come out!" He ordered. His breathless voice was scary as Ocean's wave.It caught Clara's attention too. Glimpsing that man's authoritative tone on the person was Abby; she hid behind the wall quickly and overheard them.Abby came, keeping her eyes down at his foot.He turned to her as she came and stood to his side."I had been waiting for your response, but you married another man without even replying to my proposal. Do you think I can accept th
She leaned forward up until he stopped pulling his face back. At the point where he couldn't bend his neck anymore, she blew out her rage breath over his face with an intense look into his slightly scared eyes."If you don't want to be punished for this, do as I say tonight." She said with a husky voice."I would rather get punishment than that," he responded quickly, pushing her back to her seat, and he sat straight."Okay!" She flashed the excitement."Is she thinking the same as I'm thinking?" He thought, scrutinizing her bright eyes to read her mind. To his misfortune, she drifted her gaze off from him and continued to finish the leftover lunch.The sun came to the center of the sky."Here is the CCTV footage," Levi handed the pen drive to Steven.Steven inserted it into the laptop and played it.Their cautious gaze carefully watched every single move of Steven, who was being escorted to room no. 18 by Levi. After Levi left, drunken Steven went in, shutting the door. There were no
"Did you have your lunch?" Asked Steven."Ye..." She trailed off reading his expression and assured him once after noticing his lovely stare that had been lying behind his quietness, "No!"Steven slid those papers away and stood up. "I was invited to lunch with Houston's daughter. Do you wanna join?" He offered, despite his heart urging him to drag her with him without her permission."Are you sure that was just for lunch? This sounds more like a date." She flashed a suspicious glare at him."Eat alone then!" He roughly declared with a serious face and headed to exit."I'm just joking." Spilling an embarrassed smile, she followed him back right away.Duri came on their way while they were heading towards the elevator. He raised his hand to wave at Abby as soon as he glanced at Abby, who was following behind Steven's steps like a lost puppy.Steven glanced at him.Abby also saw him but didn't wave at him. Instead, she offered a forced smile.Just when Duri was about to cross them, Stev
On the way to the home, the streetlight's illumination over the highway slowly faded into smoke displaying a healthy and pretty middle-aged woman's face."It's the curse, son. We can't change our destiny." That woman's energyless voice dripped with misery as if she had given up on life.Abby was baffled noticing his shaky look at the road. She even witnessed a drop of tears seated on the corner of his eyes, drenching the eyelashes.They arrived at the home.He got out of the car and came to open the door for her. Watching her eyes flashing a question at him, instead of getting off, he asked, "Aren't you coming?""Why did you cry earlier?""Then sleep here!" He said shortly and walked towards the entrance."Hoi!" She shouted, following him inside the house.She found her heart aching leadenly watching him behaving like he avoids her. It was the first time she had been treated like this by him. So it was like a sharp pain that was as much as to stiffen her throat from letting the breath
Then she firmly declared with a rough voice, "I'm not your wife!""Abby!" He stepped in front, trying to stop her from leaving.Unfortunately, her one brief death glare pierced his heart, stopping him from approaching her.Without knowing what to do, he just watched her leave the room. He clenched his fist, outraged, and thrashed the wall out of anger, muttering, "That pitch crossed her line this time!" He breathed heavily, glaring into thin air randomly.At midnight, Steven found himself struggling to get to sleep without Abby beside him. So he came downstairs and noticed Abby was napping on the sofa, curling herself as if she was too insecure to feel free.He sat, approaching her dull face with his cold hand. It triggered a mild twitch in her skin. Still, that wasn't enough to wake her tired body. He abandoned his sleep just to admire her quietly.The next day.While he was cooking, Abby's speedy walk snatched his attention, and noticing her dress exposing her curvy shape, he stoppe
