Aidan’s word’s caught Devil off guard. If he was not sitting in the dark, Aidan could have seen that the smile on Devil’s face was gone and it was replaced by coldness.
“Hold on…” Devil’s cold voice echoed inside the room. “Do you know why you are defeated? Because you have no control over your anger. Xander has used your anger against you. Was it necessary to create such a fuss in his company? You could've just talked to him calmly. Then this problem won’t have arrived.”
“I'm here to ask you for help. If you don't want to help me, just tell me clearly. I will go away. You don’t have to remind me of my mistakes.” Aidan snapped in frustration.
The devil laughed softly and said, “I am here to help you. But this time I want something m
Xander’s pain and uneasiness were growing in every passing minute. He was dizzy and nauseated as well. His arm was so painful it made him feel heaviness on his hand. He didn’t want to continue the conversation. He only wanted him to leave. He said impatiently, “Right now I am not interested in working with Thompson and Co. But I promise I will not create any trouble for your company as long as Aidan is not associated with the company’s affair. I will think about the cooperation later on. Thank you for coming, Mr. Thompson. You can leave now.”Gibson wanted to pursue him, but after noticing his unwillingness, he didn’t say further. Reluctantly, he got up and walked out. Xander dropped his head backward in the chair as soon as Gibson left. He found it difficult while breathing. He loosened the tie and took off the blazer. He unbuttoned the shirt and removed it to check the
When Riley received the call from the man that he appointed to investigate who attacked Xander, he couldn’t delay asking, “Did you find him out?”“Yes, Mr. Ross. This man managed to avoid all the surveillance cameras in the marriage bureau. But he was caught on the camera installed in the next signal. We are after him. We'll find him soon. How is the master?”Riley sighed in distress and replied despondently, “Not good. Sir is also worried about him. I am taking him home. But you should find that man. I am sure he is Aidan’s man. Look out for Aidan too.”“Yes. I got to go now. Talk to you later.”The call ended with that, and Riley went to talk to the doctor.At the
Xander sighed in dismay and placed his palm on his forehead. He was distressed, reflecting on the incidents that happened the previous day. Last night was his wedding night. He should have stayed with his wife, but his father brought him back to country C. He thought that he would reveal his identity to Abigail on their wedding night, but all his plans were ruined just because he was poisoned. Recalling the conversation with his father just now, he was certain that Abigail had not come here. Otherwise, his father would have mentioned her. Xander grew restless thinking of Abigail. She might have been concerned for him. He had no idea what Riley had said to her.His trail of thoughts was disturbed when Riley came in and greeted him, “Good morning. How are you feeling now?”Riley came closer and observed him carefully. When he noticed Xander trying to
After hanging up the call, Abigail stared into the phone with complete confusion. Xander was like a riddle to her. He talked to her so gently that she almost forgot about the grudge she had with him. He comforted her so well that all the tensions and pain in her heart began to vanish gradually. He was so nice to her, she couldn't find any sign of cruelty. How could such a man be so cunning? She wondered. She didn’t know what Xander’s true nature was. She also did not know why he intended to marry her. Whatever it was, she wouldn’t submit to him easily even if he showered her love and care. She would find out what he was up to. For that, she needed to get closer to Owen Reid to know more about Xander. Initially, she was reluctant to go to country C. But after thinking about it, she was eager to go as soon as possible.In the hospital…Ju
Aidan went into the office and saw a man in his early thirties with a tailored black suit leaning on his seat rolling a pen in his fingers. This was Zac Miller, whom he came to meet with. His black hair was gelled and combed back meticulously. His dark black eyes, sharp and cold, painstakingly scrutinized the unknown visitor, trying to understand why this man sought his meeting.Aidan mustered a smile and approached him, “Hello, Mr. Miller.”But he just got a chilly look from him. There was no courtesy in Zac’s eyes.Aidan's smile wore off right away. He felt as if Zac was looking at his soul. He was fidgety under his intense gaze. He looked down at the chair beside him and moved his eyes back to Zac as if he was asking his permission if he could sit on the chair or not. Zac only stared at him with
Riley observed him carefully before asking, “What are you going to do now?”Xander turned around and sat on the bed, “There's nothing for me to do now. Dad is already giving them the answer. Let’s wait and see how Zac kicks Aidan out of here.” His eyes focused firmly on somewhere ahead, his expression unreadable.Riley couldn't help but ask, "What if he keeps helping Aidan?"“Then Zac Miller will also face problems. I won’t spare anyone who helps that Aidan.” His eyes turned to Riley, "Did you do what I told you to do?"Riley knew what Xander was asking for and answered almost immediately, “Yes. I have contacted O’Neil. He is ready for this mission. But he only wants your help to remove his suspension order afte
The hesitation, anxiety, and a little bit of fear on Riley’s face stunned Xander. He couldn't believe Zac Miller had such an impact on him. He frowned deeply and asked, “What are you hiding? Is there anything about Zac that I'm not aware of?”Xander’s question caught Riley completely off guard. His face turned paler. It was something that he could never tell anyone, especially Xander.Xander was still frowning at him, waiting for his response.Riley was nervous as hell. He was upset too. But he gathered himself and tried to stay calm, “I am just worried. He is not a good man. You should stay away from him.”“Is he more dangerous than Aidan?” Xander squeezed out those words, gnashing his teeth.
Owen Reid's eyes caught a glimpse of Riley standing by the door. He released Xander and said, “What happened, Riley? Do you have anything to tell us?”Riley came to his senses and withdrew his gaze instantaneously. He looked here and there other than them. Owen Reid had such a profound effect on him that he always felt nervous with him."Perhaps he has come to call me." Xander changed his mood and mustered a smile, “Your daughter-in-law has come.”“Oh… Good, good. I look forward to meeting with her." Owen laughed and tapped on his shoulder.“I will take her to the mansion tomorrow. Let her rest tonight. She may be exhausted after a long journey.”“No problem, no problem.
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
