When Lilian woke up and opened her eyes, she saw the handsome man sleeping peacefully next to her, wrapping his arm around her waist. A smile gradually surfaced on her face, and her cheeks turned red, remembering last night’s madness. His bare upper body was attractive. She couldn’t resist the urge of touching his muscular chest and smiled shyly. She reached out to caress his cheek. Placing a soft kiss on his cheek, she got out of the bed and went to the washroom.
After finishing her daily chore and taking a shower, she stepped out of the washroom, wrapping a towel on her body. Victor was still asleep. She shook her head and smiled. She grabbed her purse and took out the phone to call her mother.
Last night she didn’t go back home and forgot to inform her as well. Her mother might be worried about her. The moment she looked at the phone,
“What? Why are you silent? Say something about him. I can’t wait anymore.”Lilian became impatient and poked her arm.“What do you want to know?” Abigail pulled her hands back and turned around. She pouted and said, “I don’t know anything about him.”“You don’t know anything!” Lilian was surprised. She walked around and stood in front of her. “How could that be?” She looked at her skeptically. “You stayed with him the whole night, and you know nothing about him. Didn’t you find out if he is Charles or not?”“No… He is not. He can’t be Charles. My Charles is not so shameless as he is. He is a hooligan, trickster…”
That afternoon, Victor was summoned to the vice president’s office. He stood in front of Xander, trembling in fear like a wet kitten. He wondered how he had offended this big boss that he wanted to talk to him personally. He couldn’t lift his head and kept looking down at the tip of his black shoes.Xander also didn’t say a single word and kept looking at him, his expression unreadable.Riley, who seated on the sofa, checking a file, lifted his eyelids to look at the two men. His eyes were straying between Xander and Victor.Nobody had spoken for a long time. A creepy silence swept across the room. Victor felt as if the temperature of the room was dropping a few more degrees.“Take your seat.” A cold voice rang slowly inside the silent offic
A couple of weeks passed in a blink. During this time, Alphacom which was now under Pinnacles snatched the biggest client of Vision Networks. This client worked with Vision Networks for a decade, but this time they didn’t renew the contract with them. This created a huge uproar at the upper level of Vision Networks. The stock price of the company dropped to its lowest level. The other clients also began to rethink whether to continue working with them or not.Robert Mills called an urgent meeting of the board members. Everyone was arguing in the conference hall, putting blames on each other. Robert Mills felt a headache to see the mess in front of him. He rubbed his forehead, looking contemptuously at the people shouting at each other. His resentment increased with every passing second. Eventually, he couldn’t suppress his annoyance and slammed his hand on the conference table.
“You…”Abigail tried even harder to escape, but his grip went tighter. His arms were like iron shackles that tied her up tightly. She was frustrated about not being able to move a bit.“Let me go. Otherwise, I will shout. Then everyone will come to know that you are bullying me, and your image will be tarnished.” She gave him a look full of resentment.She was naïve enough to think that he would release her after hearing her threat. But instead of letting her go, he laughed and said in a challenging way, “Go ahead. Call everyone. I also want to make it happen. Then I will reveal what happened between us that night. After that, it won’t be late to come out this news to the tabloids and internet.”“You shameless&h
“Charles… I am sorry…”She whispered, clutching the pendant firmly into her palm. Tears trickled down her cheeks.“Why are you crying sitting here?”A familiar cold voice rang from the top of her head. She looked up instantaneously at the source of the voice, only to see a tall figure, looming on her. He wore a full sleeves black hooded t-shirt with a pair of black formal pants.It’s him again! Why did it have to be him?She stopped crying the moment her eyes landed on him. Her expression showed displeasure. She pulled back her gaze and stuffed the necklace in her purse. She was about to get up, but he pressed her down on her shoulder and sat next to her.
“Hey… Why do you keep on crying?”The familiar cold voice sounded from the top of her head slowly. She came out of her trance and wiped off her tears, “I am not crying. It’s just…something got inside my eyes.”“Is that so?” Xander sat on the seat next to her, observing her attentively. “But why do I feel like you are lying? Tell me honestly, why are you crying? What is bothering you?”“No, it’s nothing. I am not crying. Something really got in my eyes.” She denied it again.“Well…”He sighed helplessly. He felt a little disappointed. Under the present circumstances, he couldn’t force her to open up to him. But he was
Riley was caught off guard to see the madness in his eyes. He also sensed a throbbing pain in his heart.‘What is his relationship with her? Isn’t she only a friend to him? Doesn't he love Miss Mills? Then why is he behaving like an insane?’Riley had so many questions in his mind. He seemed very agitated. He wanted to ask him, but he couldn’t utter a word because of the intensity of the pain in his heart.With great difficulty, he nodded feebly and said, “I understand. I will call you later when Mr. Clark reaches the resort.” He turned around and left in haste after dropping those words.…………….After soaking in the bathtub for a lo
Xander’s lips curled up slyly and mischief glimmered into his eyes. Within a snap of a finger, he picked her up horizontally and walked into the water.“Ah…” A scream escaped from her mouth. “Put me down… No… Don’t do it… I am scared of water… I can’t swim…”But Xander turned deaf to her and walked further into the water. Abigail was so scared that she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, her eyes shut tight.Xander could feel her shuddering in his arms. An amusement spread in his eyes. He immediately put her down in the water, but she clung to him, “Don’t leave me, don’t leave me.” Her eyes were still closed.“I won’t leave you. Open your eyes and
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
