Almost an hour later, Xander parked the car in front of a fancy building. Abigail frowned, wondering why Xander had stopped here. She was unfamiliar with this place as she had never been before.
Xander got off the car and opened the door for her. He smiled and extended his hand to her. She smiled and took his hand and came out. She wanted to ask many questions, but since he urged her not to ask anything, she didn’t open her mouth.
“Come on...”
He took her into the building and went to the fifth floor, which led them to a luxurious salon.
This time, she could no longer hold her curiosity and asked, “What is it? Do you bring me here for grooming?” She cast a suspicious gaze at him.
Xander smiled, "

Winter had passed, and spring washed in like the tide, bringing warmth and sunshine. Colorful flowers were blooming, and new buds were ready to open to the light. The grass became greener as soon as the weather warmed up. Fresh sunlight illuminates the water droplets upon its fine green wands. The chirping of birds filled the air, and Charles Shaw awoke, yawning widely. Rubbing his eyes, he glanced at the photo frame, hanging on the opposite wall to the bed and mumbled lazily, “Good morning, Mom.” Then he picked up the phone from the side table to check the time.Ding…He felt like a loud bell resounding in his head awakening every cell of his brain. His eyes widened to see the time. It was 8 in the morning.“Shit… Shit…”
Charles got in the car and drove to a jewelry shop, but when he saw the price tags, his scalp went numb. All the items were very expensive. Even though his boss would pay him back, still he felt a hole in his wallet. He only found a pair of diamond stud that was the cheapest in that store, but still, it was more than his monthly salary. With a heavy heart, finally, he bought it and requested the salesperson to wrap it with a gift package.After coming out of the jewelry store, he headed to a flower shop and bought a bouquet of tulips of various colors. There was a huge grin on his face. He got in the car and drove directly to the airport.There were still fifteen minutes left for the flight to land. He came out of the house without having breakfast. He was starving by now. He bought a cup of black coffee and a sandwich and started eating qui
Aidan didn’t respond immediately. He only stared at him indifferently. Then he smiled which could not be considered as a smile, and said, “She is a bit spoiled one by her father’s love. But she is not bad. Anyway, thank you for your help. Show the bill to the finance department and collect the money.” He passed the bill to him.Charles smiled and said, “Thank you, boss.” Taking the bill, he turned to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and turned around, saying, “Boss, Miss Mills was angry with you when she didn’t see you. To calm her down, I said that you would take her to dinner tonight. Don’t be late.” Charles turned and left soon after finishing speaking. But before he could take a few steps, he heard an earth-shaking roar of Aidan, “Halt…”Charles was startled and stoppe
Charles continued acting, “Oh… you are so sweet. I can’t wait to taste the food you prepared for me. Love you, honey. See you soon.” He put the phone down and looked at Abigail, who was also looking at him curiously. He smiled and said “My girlfriend. She is missing me.”“Then go back home. Don’t keep her waiting.”A glimmer of sadness flashed through her eyes. Abigail felt pain in her heart, and it could be seen on her face too. She had been dating Aidan for five years, but Aidan seldom had time for her. He was always occupied with his job. She thought their relationship would probably improve if she stayed away from him, so she went to country B for further study. But Aidan had not changed at all during these two years. He was still indifferent to her and preferred work over her. Bitterness sp
Charles came to his house, fuming in anger. Removing the blazer ruthlessly, he hurled it on the floor. Whenever he saw Owen Reid, his biological father, he lost his temper and remembered the bitter past. He hated him from the core of his heart. His father cheated on his mother. Heartbroken, his mother left him and came to country A with Charles.Charles was only nine at that time, but he clearly remembered how his mother worked hard and suffered day and night to survive in the new country. But later on, his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and she died.Ding… Dong…His trail of thoughts was disturbed by the sound of the doorbell. Charles was frustrated, and at that moment, he didn’t want to see anyone. So, he didn’t intend to open the door and wa
Abigail was about to get into her car when she received Aidan’s call, and she quickly answered, “Aidan, why did you send your assistant? You could have sent the driver or I could simply drive alone.”“I am sorry, dear. Suddenly a client set up an emergency meeting, and I have to leave for it. So I sent Charles to go with you. Enjoy your day, baby. I gave him a credit card. You can buy anything. Please don’t be angry, my love. I promise I will be with you the entire weekend. If you don’t go shopping, I will think that you are mad at me, and you have not forgiven me. And don’t think about going alone. I can’t stay at ease.” His tone was so gentle and full of love that Abigail couldn’t deny him, despite the despair. She said, “Alright, I will go with him, but don’t forget what you promised.”
Abigail stared at him curiously. Only then did she realize that Charles was a good-looking man. He was taller than Aidan, with a broad shoulder and lean waist. His perfectly symmetrical face with an angular jaw covered with the shortly trimmed beard made him enticingly handsome. She smiled and said, “You are indeed handsome, but sorry, I won’t fall in love with you even if you follow me 24/7. Because I love Aidan very much.”“This is the same for me too. I know you are my boss’ fiancee and soon to be his wife. I dare not fall in love with you.” He sighed and added, “We should go now. It’s getting late.”Abigail wanted to stay a little longer. But after thinking that, his girlfriend might be waiting for him, she didn’t oppose him and hummed shortly in response. Then they walked out of the
The ringtone of the phone sounded loud in the quiet room, and Charles groaned in annoyance. It was Saturday, and he had no intention to wake up early. He pressed his ears with the pillow and kept sleeping, totally avoiding the phone call. He didn’t even check the caller. The phone stopped ringing after a while, only to ring again. Charles’s irritation piqued, and he thought about scolding the person. He reached out to take the phone from the side table and looked at the caller ID, only to see Aidan’s number.Charles’s eyes grew wide, and he sat upon the bed frantically. He didn’t have time to think of anything and answered the call, “Hello.”“Someone is hospitalized because of you, and you are sleeping peacefully! Come to the Lifecare hospital right now.”
Almost an hour later, Xander parked the car in front of a fancy building. Abigail frowned, wondering why Xander had stopped here. She was unfamiliar with this place as she had never been before.Xander got off the car and opened the door for her. He smiled and extended his hand to her. She smiled and took his hand and came out. She wanted to ask many questions, but since he urged her not to ask anything, she didn’t open her mouth.“Come on...”He took her into the building and went to the fifth floor, which led them to a luxurious salon.This time, she could no longer hold her curiosity and asked, “What is it? Do you bring me here for grooming?” She cast a suspicious gaze at him.Xander smiled, "
Abigail froze to hear another gunshot. More tears gushed out. She was afraid that Aidan might shoot her father again.Did he kill him?A wave of shivers ran through her body as soon as she thought about it. She covered her mouth and turned frenetically.“Abigail…” Xander panicked to hear the gunshot and called her.Samuel and his team broke the lock on the door and barged into the room. However, their steps came to an abrupt halt to see Aidan wrap his arm around her neck from behind, pointing the gun at her head.All the pairs of eyes went wide. Xander and Riley panicked to see it while Samuel and his team were all alerted, aiming the guns at Aidan.Horror was w
Relief spread to the people present in the hall. Angelina breathed a sigh, putting her hand upon her chest. She couldn't stop praying to God for Abigail to come home safely.Owen hugged Riley all of a sudden and Riley also hugged him back, but his eyes were on Xander.He assured him, “We will go bring her home safely.”“Be safe.” Owen patted his back.However, Xander was agitated when the call disconnected and shouted impatiently, “Hello… Hello…”Samuel patted his back, “President Reid, calm down.”It was only then that Xander came to reality and looked at him.“You di
Abigail’s jaw dropped as she watched him in shock. Then her eyes moved to the water spilled on the floor. There was no way for her to drink this dirty water. When she looked back at him, there was nothing but hostility in her eyes.Aidan stopped laughing the moment he saw the hatred in her eyes. He squatted beside her and grabbed her jaws tight, “Don’t show me your attitude. You are not in Reid’s mansion.”He turned her head to the door, “Your father is in that opposite room. Don’t you want to see him?”A vile smile appeared on his face, “Drink the water and I will take you to him. Or else, I will shoot him.”Abigail glared at him contemptuously.The smile on his fac
Owen was pacing back and forth anxiously. David had not answered his fifth call as well. He became suspicious that something bad had happened. Otherwise, David would never ignore his calls.In the meantime, he received his call. He answered quickly, “Hello… where are you? Did you find her?”“Owen… She… she is nowhere to be found. She never came to the airport.” David’s anxious voice came out of the phone.A wave of shivers passed through his body. Owen exclaimed in a frenzy, “What did you say? She didn’t go to the airport! Then where is she?”“I reached out to the police. We will find her soon. Don’t worry.” David was also worried, but he tried to comfort Owen.
The moment the priest asked to kiss the bride, Victor took Lilian in his arms and kissed her passionately. The applause and whistling of the guests resonated throughout the area. Abigail clicked on them to capture the memorable moments. She was happy for Lilian.In the meantime, her phone rang. She pulled her phone out of her purse and checked it, only to see an unknown number on the screen. She answered the call casually, “Hello…”Her eyes were still on Lilian and Victor.“Abi, don’t listen to him. Don’t… mm… mm…”The smile on her face disappeared immediately when she heard the panicked tone of her father on the phone. Before she could figure out anything, she heard Aidan’s voice, “Abi, my darli
The next afternoon, Abigail arrived at Rose’s café a little earlier than time and waited for Aidan sitting at a corner table. Aidan came on time and approached her with a smile on his face.“Hey, you came earlier.” He sat across her.Abigail also smiled, “Yes. I thought I shouldn't have you waiting on me.”Then she raised her hand and beckoned a waiter. The waiter came up to them, and she ordered Mocha for Aidan.Soon the coffee was served, and Aidan looked at the cup with amazement.He chuckled, “You still remember that I like Mocha.”He took a sip of the coffee and watched at her interestingly.
Abigail was completely caught off guard to hear it. Xander only wanted her love. He never had any feelings for Angelina! How could that be possible?She had seen the concern in his eyes for his girlfriend. A phone call from her was enough to make him drop everything. That was not fake.She couldn’t resist asking, “Do you mean he has no feelings for you? And what about you? Are you not in love with him?”Angelina’s face turned pale. Yes, she loved Xander. But she would never reveal it. In addition, she agreed to marry Riley. It was inappropriate to keep that feeling in her heart.She smiled and explained, “You are mistaken. He just cares for me. He likes my mom and me as his family.”She sig
Abigail couldn't believe Xander was unfaithful to her. The love and care she had noticed in his eyes could not be wrong. He also appeared to be concerned on the phone just now.Abigail was not ready to accept that all this was just acting. After reflecting on everything, she decided to find this woman.Aidan said Xander had brought her to the city recently. She could hire a private detective and show him the photos.Photos…Suddenly, something crossed her mind, and she grabbed the phone to recheck the photographs. She looked at the photo where Xander put the diamond bracelet on her wrist. That bracelet was in the closet a couple of days ago, which means this picture was taken recently.Abigail got excited and checked t
