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.”
Abigail’s breathing hitched up to hear the name Aidan, and she turned her head to look, only to see him coming inside the restaurant, holding a gorgeous blonde woman in his arm. They walked elegantly, chatting and smiling. The woman wore a red, deep cut ‘V’ neck, backless dress, and smiled coquettishly at him while he looked at her affectionately. They looked like a romantic couple deeply in love.Abigail was too shocked to react and only stared at them with astonishment. Her eyes then drifted down at his arm that coiled like a snake around the woman’s waist. Anger and jealousy broke out inside her like a volcano. She wanted to throw that woman away from Aidan and scratch her face beyond recognition. Rebeca sensed her anger and reached out to hold her hand to comfort her, but before that, Abigail stood up and approached them with long strides.
Angelina’s face became paler to hear that, and a glimmer of sadness darkened her eyes. She indeed concealed her ailment from him. But could she hide it forever? The answer was no. Sooner or later, he would find out about her illness. She opened her mouth to tell him but before she could utter a word his phone started ringing and she closed her mouth, feeling depressed in her heart.Charles looked at the phone and frowned deeply. ‘Why is she calling me?’ He asked in his mind. Then his eyes moved the Angelina and said, “Excuse me. I have to take this call.”Angelina smiled and signaled him to carry on with a glance. Charles nodded at her before pressing the answer button, “Hello.”The moment the call connected, he heard loud music from the other side of the
Her breathing hitched up, and she looked at him with wide eyes. Fear was evident in her eyes. She also forgot to breathe. Although she said those words willfully, still, she was always afraid to be touched by another man except Aidan.Charles’s face was dangerously close to hers, his lips almost brushing her lips. She pursed her lips into a thin line, looking at him, utterly confused. His gaze moved to her eyes, and he saw the horror in them. He sneered, “Why are you scared now? Didn’t you want to sleep with me? Let me taste your lips.”He intentionally said those words to scare her more. She swallowed her saliva and kept looking at him with the same fear in her teary eyes. She didn’t even dare to take long breaths. Charles’s eyes softened and sighed. His heart twinge to see tears in her eyes. He wiped the tears away fr
This was the first time Abigail felt discomfort when Adian kissed her. Maybe it was because they had not kissed for a long time, or maybe she couldn’t trust him any longer after seeing him with Erica. Whatever it was, she didn’t want him to kiss her.Aidan’s expression turned even gloomier, and he asked, “Why? We are engaged, aren’t we? Or do you still want to retain your virginity for our wedding night?”She pursed her lips and nodded, looking down at her lap.Aidan let out a soft chuckle and caressed her cheek with his slender finger. “You didn’t change at all. You are still my sweet Abi.” He kissed her forehead and said, “Alright, go and freshen up. We will have breakfast together.”Abigail was st
Abigail looked at him who was busy brewing coffee in the kitchen and was not aware of her intense gaze. The smile on her face was still there. She sat on the couch and kept looking at him, holding her chin on her right palm and placing her elbow on the armrest of the couch. When she first met him, she hated him and didn’t want to see his face. But now, she was not tired of watching him. In fact, she started enjoying his company.It didn’t take much longer for him to brew the coffee, and he came out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee in his hands. He passed one cup to her and said, “I hope you will like it.” He grinned widely.“Hmm. Let me taste first.” She took a sip of the hot coffee carefully and licked her lips as if she was savoring its taste. “Hmm… Not bad.” She smiled and
The next morning, Aidan called Charles at his office and instructed, “Our contract with ‘Vision Networks’ is coming to an end. I already talked about renewing the contract with Mr. Mills. Go and sign the contract.”Vision Networks was a service provider to many small and large companies of city M, and ‘Thompson and Co’ was one of them. The net profit of this company was huge and which is why Aidan set his eyes on this company. Abigail was the only child of Robert Mills, and naturally, she was the future CEO of this company. If he married her, he would register the company in his name and would become the owner of Vision Networks. She would remain as a mere puppet of his hands.Robert Mills, on the other end, was worried, thinking that after his death, his younger brother and his nephew would acquire the company and trea
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
