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
A few more days passed, and finally, the weekend came. It was the day of the get-together party, and Abigail was getting ready. The smile on her face was telling how happy she was. She was thrilled because she was going to spend the entire evening with Charles, not because of the party.She wore a deep green, floral lace bodice, off-shoulder swing dress. The hem of the dress ended right above her knees. The dress wrapped her well-curved body perfectly. She pinned her hair into a partial updo, and her slightly wavy hair fell freely on her shoulder. Her originally pretty face looked prettier with the light makeup she put on.In the meantime, Charles called her and informed her that he had already arrived at the mansion. Abigail grabbed her purse and hurried out of the mansion. She saw him leaning on his black sedan, crossing his arms across his chest.
While Abigail and Charles were chatting and drinking happily, Rebecca came to them and asked, “Abi, can I have some time with you?” Her tone was cold, and her expression was unreadable. She glanced at Charles nonchalantly before looking back at Abigail again.Abigail didn’t want to leave him alone. She looked at him and then moved her eyes to Rebecca. She parted her lips to say something, but before that, Charles said, “Go. Don’t worry about me.”Abigail turned her head to look back at him and asked, “Are you sure?”“Go.” He gave a reassuring smile to her.Abigail didn’t know why she didn’t want to leave his side. She was distressed and uncomfortable. She felt that something bad wou
Charles and Rebecca headed straight to the restroom, and he asked her to check inside. Rebecca entered the ladies’ restroom and called her, “Abi… Abigail, are you here?”But she didn’t get any reply. She didn’t find her anywhere after checking in all the cubicles. She panicked and covered her mouth with both hands. She rushed out of the restroom and called Charles, “She is not inside.” She was agitated and scared at the same time.“Fuck.” Charles was anxious and cursed loudly. He ran his fingers through his hair. His breathing quickened in trepidation, and he was looking here and there contemplating where she could go. “I am going to check the other parts of the club.” He turned and left soon after dropping those words.“I will chec
Charles came out of the clubhouse and headed to the parking area, carrying Abigail in his arms. She dropped her head upon his shoulder, coiling her arms around his neck. Tears were still dripping down, and his shirt on his shoulder was wet.He opened the door of the car and put her in the passenger seat. Closing the door, he walked around and got into the car. He turned his head and looked at her. She was looking outside in a trance, keeping her head on the windshield. Traces of tears could be seen on her cheeks, and the blood trail to the corner of her lip was already dried up.He sighed and looked down on his lap momentarily, only to look back at her again. He leaned towards her and reached out to stretch the seatbelt strap and fastened it carefully. She moved her eyes and looked at him. He also gazed at her. They were close enough to feel each ot
Robert Mills’s expression darkened, and he clenched and unclenched his jaws to suppress his anger. He wouldn’t let go of the person easily who dared to hurt her. “Alright. Don’t cry anymore. It’s late now. Go and get some sleep.” He patted her head and comforted her.Abigail nodded and strode to her room, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. He stared at her retreating back until she entered her room. Then he took the phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. When the call connected, he said coldly with his authoritative tone, “Check what happened at the get-together party that Abi attended. I want the man who dared to touch her to be punished.”After hearing an affirmative response from the other end of the phone, he hung up the call and headed straight to his study.
Aidan looked at her retreating back, stunned. This woman who always complained to him about not giving her time was not pleased to learn that he willingly came to spend time with her. Did she lose her interest in him? Aidan couldn’t stay calm when this thought crossed his mind. He couldn’t lose her, not before he achieved his goal. Because of Erica, he had ignored her a lot, and now it was time to pay attention to her. Otherwise, he might lose her forever. He followed her to the room and asked anxiously, “Abi, my darling… You are mad at me, aren’t you?”Abigail stopped on her track and turned around to look at him. She wanted to be alone, and right now, the least she wanted to do was talk to him. She exhaled deeply and said, “I am not.” She again sighed and turned her head on the other side, saying, “You are very serious when it comes to the business.
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
