Abigail's POV***Warning! This chapter contains explicit words and s*xThe heated intensity of last night seemed more like a dream as I stirred and sat up. Henry was sleeping soundly beside me while his chest rose and fell.There was something about the rhythm of his breathing, his well-defined jaw, and the sexy way his eyebrows arched as he slept that made me bend forward for a closer look, tracing his jaw lines and smiling sheepishly to myself when my gaze focused on his lips… rough way he had kissed me. My hands caressed and brushed against his lips and I was going to take advantage of him sleeping to trace my fingers all over his chest. “I was wondering what was smelling so good...” His strong arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer. “ I-I… there was a bit of dirt on your face” My cheeks heated being so close to him, I felt shy and embarrassed.“Oh… is that so? Did you get a good look?” I chuckled and rolled my eyes. “Hmm… you weren't meant to see any of that.”Henry
Abigail's POV***“Hey babe, you got to meet me at the **** restaurant whenever you are free. You won't believe it! It's about someone special, I think I might be falling for him.” I typed on my smartphone and hit the send button to Joyce, who was my best friend and the only one I shared my secrets with.“You better have a juicy gist or I'll kill you” she replied and I chuckled, standing up from my bed and taking a deep breath. The lingering scent in the room was Henry's perfume, the one I watched him apply while I lay drowsing on the bed. He had come to peck me, whispering his departure for work. The sound of his deep voice had made me purr in my response which delighted him because that hungry desire flashed in his eyes. I quickly laid the bed even though I knew we had an excessive amount of maids, he had even hired more after I started living here.After that, I stretched and headed into the bathroom for another quick shower. After thinking about him, I knew I had to clean mys
Abigail's POV***At Brundeen's group"let's go in" Henry stretched out his hands for Abigail to take, he acted in a chivalrous manner and it made her heart flutter, she felt like she was with a high school sweetheart.She took his hand in hers, their fingers entwining as they walked side by side into the office building.The women in the office watched with wide eyes as Abigail and their boss walked through the door, their hands clasped together. Most of the young ladies felt a flash of jealousy and envy as they watched Abigail and their boss walk by. They had heard the rumors, and seeing them together like that seemed to confirm their suspicions. "The sly slut has seduced their boss, no wonder she was able to get the position as his personal assistant.""She probably used her body to get the spot."As Abigail made walked by, she could hear the hushed whispers of the women around her. Their words were full of bitter resentment. It made her angry but she decided to ignore their hars
Third POV***Abigail got into the office, sighing as she walked to her table and took a seat.Did they really think this low of her? She had worked hard even while she was schooling abroad and they just assumed she got her job because she slept with the boss.She was trying to get her mind off of it but the more she tried, the more heartbroken she felt.It was irritating to know that they thought this badly of her.If only they knew how many sleepless nights she had and how she fought hard to ace her exams despite having a son to take care of.Maybe if they knew that then they wouldn't be judging her. But even with that knowledge, Abigail knew they would still judge her.Abigail felt a strong muscular hand on her shoulder, she looked up and saw him with a smiley face."You handled the situation well, I'm proud of you."Abigail had a confused expression on her face, what was he even saying?She expected him to have spoken at that time but he remained quiet. Maybe she didn't mean anyth
Third POV***John was seated at an exquisite and classy table, with roses and candies scattered on the ground beneath him.It set a really romantic atmosphere and they were not many people in the restaurant so it was the perfect timing and John thought they could have much time with themselves.He was the only one seated at the table and he arrived earlier than he should have because he wanted everything to be perfect.John spent his extra time scanning through the menu with his eyes, he decided that the seafood would be perfect."Hello, John," Abigail said as she made her way to the table, her movements graceful. John's eyes followed her every step, unable to look away. She was breathtakingly stunning!"Hey Abigail, welcome, please have a seat." As Abigail neared the table, he pulled out a chair for her, holding it in place as she gracefully took her seat. He then returned to his own chair after making sure she was comfortable."You didn't have to do all this, but I do appreciate it
Third POV***"Will you be my girlfriend?" His words rang in her ears, echoing in her mind repeatedly. Abigail sat still, her mouth hanging open as she struggled to comprehend what he had just said.Meanwhile, John looked at her with hopeful eyes, he held out his hands to touch her but Abigail moved away in fright.She sat frozen in her seat, her mind racing as she tried to process what had just happened. It had all started so innocently, with a simple meal and now he was confessing his love to her?Her mind raced as she thought of the best way to reply to him.She didn't want to turn him down and hurt his feelings in the process.John has always been a friend to her and she never for once thought of him as a crush or someone she felt attracted to.She had always seen him as a colleague and it had never crossed her mind to think of him as a lover.Personally, he wasn't someone she felt attracted to and that made it more hard for her to choose her next words."Abigail " John called ou
Third POV***Leaning on his car, he was on a phone call and moved his hands angrily as he spoke.The driver seemed to be cool with his boss's temper, he never interfered, and he simply sat still, even when his boss continuously shut the car door close in anger.Ethan ended the call with a frown, he smashed the phone on the floor angrily and stepped on it mercilessly with his foot.He wasn't going to be their pet for long and they had no right to control him.He felt a new surge of anger flow through his veins as he thought about them.His whole body was vibrating with anger and the one phone call he had just received ruined his mood.From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of a familiar figure that was walking toward the direction he was standing at.At first, he thought he must have mistaken her for someone else but when he squinted, he realized that it was indeed Abigail.Ethan couldn't let go of the humiliation that he had faced in the Williams house, Abigail was the cause of
Third POV***"Where were you when I was drugged and helpless? What gives you the right to talk to me in that manner? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to live all through those years? But no, you don't and yet you open your stinking mouth to talk about how I ended up being a slut." Abigail said with flared nostrils, her breathing pace increasing as she spoke.All he ever did was find ways to make fun of her. He was never there even when she needed him the most, he treated her like she was some piece of shit and yet he dared to accuse her.The stinging pain he felt on his cheek made him hit his car in anger with his fist, no one dared to raise their hand at him, not even his biological mother.Yet, she was bold enough to do that, Ethan's eyes turned dark, he was almost ready to pounce on her but he controlled himself.She had hurt his ego, he didn't want to ruin his reputation so he decided to let it go, but only for that day.He will find a way to get back to her later and
