Third POV***On the next day, Henry and Abigail arrived at the Brundeen mansion in a luxurious Bugatti Veyron, pulling up to the estate's driveway with the sleek vehicle's engine purring, signaling their presence.Adonis had driven Audrey to the mansion earlier in the morning, so Henry and Abigail arrived at the estate in their Bugatti alone.Abigail's eyes widened as she stepped out of the Bugatti and took in the stunning beauty of the Brundeen estate. The grounds were immaculately landscaped, with well-manicured gardens and elegant fountains that glinted in the sunlight. As the Bugatti's engine quieted down, Henry turned to Abigail with a friendly smile and extended his hand to help her out of the car. Abigail accepted his offer and took his hand while stepping out of the vehicle.“This is where your family lives, right?" Abigail asked, turning to Henry as she tilted her neck up to take in the gigantic mansion before them.With his eyes crinkling at the corners, Henry nodded. "Ind
Third POV***A group of party guests, huddled in quiet conversation, failed to hide their whispers from Abigail's discerning ears. "Seems like the young master has quite the catch on his arm," one murmured, eyes narrowed in scrutiny as they observed Abigail . As the words left her lips, a knowing smirk played across her face, her gaze lingering on the young couple as if to say.The woman's friends giggled, but when Henry gave them a threatening look, they left. They were scared of the young master.Whispering some inaudible words among themselves as the sounds of their feet were inaudible due to the music.With a gentle smile and a caring gaze, Henry offered his arm to Abigail. "Shall we?" he asked, as if he could sense her apprehension. Abigail, with a small yet determined smile, returned his gesture and placed her hand on his arm.She didn't know where he was taking her to but she followed him, her face bent as she tried her best to avoid their piercing glares.Abigail's heart was
Third POV***Even Lisa was present, her eyes burning with fury and her chest heaving in anger. Her rage was like a kettle about to whistle, building up pressure as she glared at Abigail."What shameless people!"The silence was broken by Lisa's thunderous voice as she pointed an accusing finger at Henry and Abigail. Her words were like a raging storm, sweeping across the room as she marched towards the couple, who sat in close proximity. Their intimacy was insulting to Lisa, who felt that they were being disrespectful."Don't you dare lay your hands on my woman!"Just as Lisa reached out to grab Abigail, Henry's threatening tone stopped Lisa in her tracks, her hand still raised as she hesitated to proceed. Feeling embarrassed, she lowered her hand, realizing that she might have gone too far in her anger."This is a Brundeen family gathering, not a place for your immoral, shameless romance," Lisa spat, her frustration evident in her voice as she turned her cold gaze on Abigail. The co
Third POV***As Grandfather Brundeen's piercing gaze settled upon Abigail, she instinctively turned her head away, her eyes averting his own as if the weight of his stare were too much for her to bear. She glanced downward, her gaze resting on the table.That was right! She deserved to be frightened, she didn't have a place in this family afterall.He looked away and focused on his meal,he didn't find her worthy of his stares either.To him, she was just another lowlife looking for a way out of her pitiful situation.The fact that he had never heard of her family didn't surprise him. He knew all of the elites in the country and the Williams weren't among the class of people that he associated himself with.Grandfather Brundeen cleared his throat, and then began speaking. "I will not tolerate this act from you Abigail, you gave me a great grandson but that doesn't mean that you should disrespect me by not honoring my wishes."Grandfather Brundeen's dominance of the situation was not l
Third POV***Everyone had almost finished their meal and they were starting to leave one after the other.Grandfather was actually the first to leave, he left about five minutes before everyone decide that they were ready to leave also.The Brundeens had to wait for Grandfather to leave before they could go themselves. Luckily, he didn't stick around for long, and the rest of the family was able to get out of there not too long after he did.And just like before, only Henry and Abigail were left in the room.A beeping sound came from her purse and she unzipped the cute silver purse to reveal her phone, it's screen flashing and signalling her of an incoming call."Dad?" She whispered quietly, and got up from Henry's laps, luckily he didn't try stopping her this time.As Abigail stood, she was reminded of the discomfort in her leg.Her leg ached a bit, she couldn't recall how long she sat, it seemed like she had been sitting for hours.Abigail spoke into the phone the moment she picked
Third POV***"I'm here to see father! Where is he?" Abigail uttered aloud, she was starting to get irritated with the evil witch pretentious attitude.Her stepmother's demeanor changed instantly, her once-aloof manner transforming into a sneer. "You insolent brat!" she hissed at Abigail. "Can't you see I'm entertaining a guest?” Her words dripped with venom, but she quickly composed herself, pasting a saccharine smile onto her face for Henry’s benefit. Then, in a flash, she turned back to Abigail, her gaze showing much disdain."Guest? He is actually with me" Abigail said, smiling proudly as she declared.That made her stepmother scoff, she knew that Abigail wouldn't be more than his maid or his servant.It was even better that they came together, she would be here to see the handsome young man talk about her lovely daughter, Lana.Her stepmother’s scorn only grew as she turned back to Henry, a condescending sneer twisting her lips as she addressed Abigail. "Oh, of course. Working as
Third POV ***Mr. Williams decided that he would inquire with Abigail about Henry later, but for now he extended a cordial greeting to the young man.His grin widened as he offered Henry a warm welcome. “We have plenty to offer here at home! My wife is an excellent cook, and I’m sure you’ll find her homemade meals quite good.” He exuded a friendly, accommodating aura, doing his best to make Henry feel at ease and at home.Henry hesitated, caught off guard by Mr. Williams’ hospitality. He did not want to appear ungrateful or rude, but he also did not want to accept an offer that would make him appear Audacious.His brow furrowed in thought, his lips parting as if to speak, only to close again as he considered his response. "I would like a glass of water instead" Henry finally said after observing a moment of silence, he saw the huge grin on Mr Williams face disappear slowly and he could help but think he had said something offensive.Henry changed his mind and tried to make a better
Abigail's POV***It felt so good to be snuggled close to Henry, perceiving his scent and not feeling afraid.Father had mentioned something about wanting us to discuss an important topic. I wondered what he wanted to say and I couldn't help but look up eagerly, waiting to hear his words.Clang! Clang!The shock of the sound was almost physical, and without thinking, my hands flew to cover my ears. Whatever had made that noise had nearly blown out my eardrums, and the ringing that followed left me stunned and disoriented.The sound was harsh, much like the violent clatter of plates smashing against each other. Glancing to my right, I spotted my stepmother, her face flushed red with fury, and two metal pots clutched tightly in her fists. What in the world was going on?Faced with my stepmother's rage, I instinctively turned to my father, pleading for his assistance. However, the look of tiredness on his face indicated that he had long since given up trying to pacify her tempestuous s
Abigail's POV *** Thirty minutes had passed since Ethan's death and I couldn't stop my body from shaking. Henry stood by my side, his hands wrapped around my shoulder in a comforting way. "He is dead?" I asked in a whisper even though I knew the answer. Henry pulled me closer and placed a kiss on my forehead. I saw them wrap Ethan up into a black big plastic bag and I confirmed it to be true. What other evidence do I need? Ethan was dead and I would never see him anymore. He died because he was trying to save me, how can I ever forget that? I sniffed back my tears and stared at the street filled with reporters. "Henry Brundeen!" Grandfather Brundeen called with a snort and my gaze traveled to look at him. The rest of the Brundeen family followed him, their eyes swollen. "Your beloved cousin is dead and you care to comfort the woman who had gotten him killed in the first place." Grandfather Brundeen's words were like a knife and they pierced through my heart. "Abigail is
Third POV***The next day in the morning, due to the drama from last night, Abigail couldn't have enough sleep and so she paraded around the mansion.Henry was fast asleep and she didn't want to disturb him.Her presence was needed in the station and so she decided to leave on her own.Abigail was wearing a simple dress with little to no make-up.She decided not to disturb Henry, after all, they only needed her presence in the station and not anyone else.A driver in the mansion offered to drive Abigail and she accepted, especially since Henry had warned them to never let Abigail outside on her own again.Abigail would have preferred if Adonis drove her instead but Henry had given him a short break.Soon they got to the station and Abigail walked into the big building."You, what are you doing here?" Mrs Williams legs and arms were in chains but when she caught sight of Abigail, her blood boiled.The officers had told her that the CEO of Zeng company would be coming to see her, so wh
Third POV***Three days passed, and Abigail finally received her pregnancy test results from the doctor. The news was in, and it was official—Abigail was expecting.It was said that she was three weeks pregnant, and news of her pregnancy quickly spread throughout the mansion. Henry decided that he would break the news to his family and also have a little party to celebrate the arrival of their unborn child.They all sat around a huge table. All members of the Brundeen family were present except grandfather Brundeen who had solely refused to attend.The Williams were also present, Henry felt like their presence was needed also.Kate was sitting at the table, her eyes eagerly searching for something on Abigail's body.The news of Henry's proposal went viral and they had been struggling to grasp the reality.And so they decided to come see if it was true.Kate, who had never liked Abigail, was the first to speak, her tone calm and quiet."Abigail, your face is looking really pale." Kat
After spending some minutes in the cinema and watching real movies, they decided that it was time to see the surprise that Henry had prepared for Abigail.Abigail didn't know what the surprise was all about.They were on the rooftop and it was quite dark, she found it hard to make out anything on the roof.Henry squeezed her hands lightly and she stared at him with affection.Minutes passed and she wanted what he had prepared for her.She could hardly contain her excitement and she looked around.Soon, sparks went flying in the air and at first, it came as a shock, she placed her head on Henry's chest, shivering with fear.Henry wrapped his arms around her, he never expected her to react the way she did.He thought that women liked fireworks.This was all Zayn's idea. He decided that he would make sure to scold Zayn after this."It's just a firework, Abigail." Henry whispered softly into her ear, biting her earlobe a little as he teased her.Abigail shook her head, wanting to stay in
"You have shown me that true love is not just a fairy tale, but a reality that can be held in the palm of our hands.I can't begin to explain how I feel whenever I'm with you. You are my happiness and I can't afford to lose you Abi.My world revolves around you. Before I found out that you were the mother of our son, I loved you Abigail.I don't know how that was possible but I fell in love with you at first sight.As we stand at the edge of this new chapter, I know that there is no one else I would rather face it with than you. You are my partner, my soulmate, my best friend, and I cannot imagine a future without you.From the first moment we met Abigail...I knew that there was something special between us. A spark that was undeniable and irresistible. And as the months have passed, that spark has only grown into a flame that burns brighter than the stars.So, with a heart full of love and a soul full of hope, I ask you now to take this journey with me. To share your life with mine,
Third POV***Abigail's stomach felt filled up and she stared at Henry, a chocolate stain smeared close to her lip.She hadn't taken notice of it and so she continued biting the huge chocolate stick.Henry then thought of an idea, he grinned maniacally and then said in a cold voice."Look over there, Abi" Abigail turned to look at the direction he pointed at, her brows knitted together as she saw absolutely nothing, just the people going on with their normal activities.The children jumping and playing and the cars moving along the road.Before she could turn back to look at him, she felt his warm tongue on her cheek, sulking it up like he was about to eat her face.Abigail was stunned, she stood there, unable to move. What had he just done?Henry licked them off with his lips seductively and then moved away from her. Making sure to relish the taste in his mouth.It seemed like Abigail's face added a special charm to the chocolate and made it even more sweet.Henry had never been a fa
Abigail's POV***I rubbed my nose and sniffed back the tears that welled up in my eyes. My heart felt heavy and I found it hard to even swallow the invincible lump in my throat.Lately, I have been feeling emotional and I couldn't quite place why.There was just this feeling of emptiness. What was making me feel that way? I had zero idea.My reflection in the mirror made me almost puke and I stared away. The dark circles under my eyes were so visible and it made me want to burst into another round of tears. Would Henry continue to love me?He must probably hate my new attitude.With a frown on my face, I walked out of the room and I was about to lay on the bed when a tall figure collided with my face, making me halt my step."Ouch" I pouted and touched my head, my eyes looking up to see Henry with a wide grin on his face.He was wearing a casual hoodie and a pair of joggers. But it wasn't just a casual hoodie, it had some romantic designs on it and judging by the material, one cou
The director had an evil smile on his face. He stood up and creeped around behind Lisa. She was nervous as hell, her fingers twitching, ready to grab her pepper spray if he got too close.His hands caressed the strap of her clothes.Lisa, realizing what was going on, stood up immediately, her eyes blazing with fire."What are you doing?""C'mon Lisa, you know what I mean. Don't expect me to spell it out" The director said casually, rolling his eyes as he saw Lisa make a fuss about it."If this is what you are planning to do then I'm not going to sit here and let you lay your filthy hands on me." Lisa's eyes were already crimson red.She found it disgusting to know that an ugly man like the director of the Han group was proposing to have a relationship with her.Lisa wasn't that desperate to beg for a role. She would rather walk out and never look back.Grabbing her purse from the table, she proceeded to leave but she felt a strong grip on her hand before she could take the next step.
Henry pulled Abigail in close, wrapping her up in a warm hug. His fingers grazed softly across her face, lingering over her features with a tenderness that showed how much he cared about her. Abigail's eyes fluttered open, her body feeling weak all of a sudden.She even found it difficult to stand on her own, her breathing increasing."I will go get my phone. I need to call a doctor." Panic was written all over Henry's face as he stared at her pale skin.He was about to lay her gently on the ground when she held his hand gently.Henry's gaze dropped from Abigail's face, his eyes narrowing as he focused on her hand. "Don't go Henry, I'm okay. It's just an exercise. I'm just tired, that's all." Abigail said with a reassuring smile.She struggled to sit up, wiping the sweat that was on her face with her palms.Managing to fake a smile, she tried convincing him, hoping to put his mind at rest.Henry wasn't sure if this was a good idea. He knew that she needed to see a doctor."I...I"He
