Third POV***"Aunty, he isn't treating me right. It's not fair for him to disregard me like I didn't matter to him, I'm still his childhood friend."A younger blonde-haired woman paced angrily across the living room as she spat out her words in frustration.Kate shook her head in pity, a month had passed since her daughter's birthday celebration and Lisa had just arrived from Europe. It seemed like her absence had really destroyed the little relationship she had with Henry.Lisa tried to make it to Ashley's birthday celebration to surprise him since she knew he would attend but there was an emergency that she needed to attend to, so she waited a month more.After calling him severally, she found out that he had blocked her number and all her social media accounts."Yes you are his childhood friend, he wouldn't dare to do a thing like that, he must have made a mistake. You should just wait patiently, I'm sure it was an honest mistake." Kate placed her hands on Lisa's shoulders, her to
Abigail's POV***"Who is she?" I thought to myself as I saw a blonde-haired woman in the living room, she didn't seem to notice me, maybe it was because she was so engrossed in her phone.The growl of my empty stomach jolted me back to reality, the hunger pangs reminding me of the reason why I was here. I wanted to prepare my own snack rather than impose on the kitchen staffs. They were already working hard, and I did not want to add to their burden. "Maybe she is a guest," I said to myself and decided to go straight to the kitchen, Henry warned me not to speak to any strangers that I found in his home unless he told me to.And she was a stranger so I turned my back on the stranger and walked away, my footsteps echoing in the marble-floored hallway."Stop right there! Didn't you notice my presence?" The woman asked, her voice a bit harsh.I turned back to look at her, noticing her hazel eyes and incredibly large breasts that didn't seem to complement her frail body figure.My eyebr
Abigail's POV***"Oh Henry, look what she did to me." Sobbing uncontrollably, she collapsed to the floor, clutching her cheeks in anguish.My eyes darted between Henry and the strange blonde-haired witch, I wondered what she was up to.A moment ago, she had been ready to strike me with all her might, her rage boiling over like a simmering pot. Now, she lay on the floor in a heap, crying as if her heart had been broken. The tables had turned, and I was left wondering what had caused such a drastic shift. "I never laid a finger on you. Stop putting on this act and get off the floor. You're only making yourself look foolish by lying so blatantly!" I spat out the words, praying that Henry would see through her charade. Her sobs escalated to a deafening pitch, and she looked at Henry with tear-filled eyes, like a lost puppy pleading for rescue. "It's unbelievable what this ridiculous woman did to me. I was only trying to show her some affection, to place a gentle hand on her shoulder.
Third POV***"Auntie!" Lisa cried out, her voice breaking as she burst through the front door. Tears streamed down her face, leaving wet trails on her cheeks. Kate's footsteps echoed on the floor as she descended the grand staircase. She was wearing a face mask, her skin glistening with a layer of cream. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw Lisa standing there, her face flushed with anger. A bruise bloomed on her cheek, like a dark purple flower. "Why are you shouting like a mad woman? Didn't I teach you to learn some manners when speaking to me?" Kate said with gritted teeth, annoyed at Lisa for ruining her skincare routine."I'm sorry, Aunt Kate," Lisa said, her voice shaking. "You don't understand what that woman has done to me." She bit her lip, hard enough to draw blood, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.Her forehead was covered in scratches, and her clothes were ripped to shreds. She looked like she had been through a battle, and it showed in
Third POVThe next morning.At Brundeen's group.***"Are you all deaf or just ignoring me?" Kate snapped, her voice sharp with irritation. "Where is Henry? I want to speak to him, right now." She turned to the workers in front of her."Good morning, Mrs. Brundeen," Elena, who heard the noise from her office came out to see Kate yelling at the workers.For a moment, Elena could only gape in astonishment at the scene before her. She forced herself to regain her composure, straightening her posture and smoothing her skirt.She approached Kate and bowed slightly, a gesture of respect. Kate was, after all, the aunt of her employer. Elena knew that it was important to show her respect and courtesy to the first daughter of the Brundeen family.The Brundeen's were pretty popular and reputable people in the society, it would be a shame to not accord them some form of respect."Hold your greetings, Elena, I'm not here to exchange pleasantries with anyone. Where is my nephew?" Kate shunned her w
Third POV***"Oh I see" Kate stood up, she walked elegantly toward Abigail, and stood in front of her.Abigail had been making her way to Henry's office when she came face to face with Kate. She halted mid-stride, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her. "Good morning," Abigail said with a polite smile, hoping to get past the woman without having an actual conversation. However, her plans were interrupted when a hand came down on her shoulder, halting her progress."Stop right there"Abigail was caught off guard by the touch on her shoulder. The look of disgust on Kate's face left her feeling puzzled and uneasy. "Maybe she is a dissatisfied customer, " Abigail muttered under her breath."Do you know me?" Kate's voice was oddly calm, almost disconcertingly so. She circled around Abigail, moving like a shark closing in on its prey. "No, I don't, I have never met you before. I'm Abigail, Henry's personal assistant." Abigail held out her hand, a gesture of professional courtesy bu
Third POV***Henry stormed into the room, his eyes went bloodshot red, especially after hearing some of the words that his aunt had said to her."What did I just hear you say, Aunt?" He demanded angrily, his eyes bulging as he stared at his aunt.Kate gave a nonchalant shrug, but the tightness around her mouth and eyes betrayed her true feelings. She was unimpressed with Henry's tone and made no effort to hide her displeasure."She's not fit to associate with the Brundeen family, it would be a disgrace. She's nothing more than a poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks, she could never be accepted into our circle."Kate sneered, her tone filled with pure disgust as Abigail's image flashed in her eyes.Henry clenched his fist, his expression turning into one of a devil. "And what gave you the right to choose who is right for me? What gave you the audacity to come to my office and act this foolish?""Foolish?" Kate chuckled softly, he dared to tell his aunt that she was acting foolis
Third POV***Henry moved closer to where the men were staying, he tried to get a better look at the woman but the men gathered her like they had seen a feast, making it impossible for him to see who she was."Hey, who are you? Get out of here before I hit you with my hands."One of the men said he was the shortest, stoutest man in the group and the first to notice Henry's imposing presence. Henry stood head and shoulders above the others, his confident stature exuding an almost intimidating air. The other men got alert and turned to look back at the man who had interrupted their feast."Hey, you! What're you lookin' at? I told you to get out of here, didn't I? Are you deaf or something? I ain't afraid to get rough if I have to. You want some of this?" The man yelled again, jerking his head to the side with a sneer appearing on his lips. He then shifted his weight to one side, muscles straining against the fabric of his shirt as he flexed his arms. Henry's eyes flashed with anger a
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

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."

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

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
