Third POV***"We should get going" She stood up from the seat, holding her purse in hand.Joyce did the same, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she remembered what Adonis had done earlier.They all went out of the restaurant and stood in front of the Bugatti Veyron.Joyce's eyes were drawn to the Bugatti like a magnet. She couldn't tear her gaze away from the sleek lines and glossy curves of the car, her curiosity getting the better of her.As she gazed at the car, Joyce couldn't help but feel like she was in a movie. The Bugatti's glossy finish and sharp lines were like something out of a dream, so perfect and powerful that it was almost like an automobile god.Abigail noticed the surprised expression on Joyce's face, she had told her that Henry was rich but she never went into detail about how rich he actually was.Perhaps, she would fall to the floor if she saw his mansion and his uncountable fleet of cars.Once everyone was inside, Adonis turned the key, and the engine pur
Third POV***"Audrey, mom is home," Abigail called out, it was the weekend and he wasn't having any class today.She had expected to see him in the living room but he wasn't there, which came as a little shock.But this was a mansion and he could be anywhere.Suddenly, a thought occurred to Abigail. What if Audrey was playing with Snow, her beloved bunny?Abigail ascended the stairs, her feet feeling heavier with each step. She was exhausted, and her body seemed to lack the energy to move any faster. She leaned against the wall for support, taking a moment to catch her breath. Fortunately, Audrey's room wasn't far from where Abigail was standing. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the hall and finally arrived at the door. She knocked gently, waiting for a response.Minutes passed and he didn't respond which was unlike him, she knocked louder this time and she was starting to get worried.There was no maid In sight except for Adonis who seemed to have been following her around.
Third POV***"You" Henry slammed his fist into the wall, fury flowing through his body. His blood boiled and his teeth ground together as he fought to keep his rage under control. "I'm sorry, boss," Adonis stammered. "I tried my hardest to get her to stop, but she wouldn't listen."Henry let out a contemptuous laugh. "Your best wasn't even good enough."He just didn't want Abigail to worry, and he was sure he could handle the situation on his own. But he was furious with Adonis for telling her.From the corners of his eyes, he saw Abigail approach him with teary eyes, it was obvious that she had been crying.That was something he never wanted to see as it made his heart ache."Where. is. he?" She asked, her voice breaking as she spoke.Her eyes wandered around the empty corridor and she gave up in the end.Henry was the only one who could tell her what had happened to her son.He drew her in close, and she rested her head against his chest, her body trembling. Henry held her tightly
Third POV***"I changed my mind babe, I will go get some coffee. Please watch over him while I'm gone, I don't want any harm to happy to our son while I'm away." Abigail said, her words heavy as she refused to look away from the glass windows.She knew that staying there wouldn't be of help and besides, maybe if she had some coffee then she would be able to keep herself awake and her mind active.Henry came up behind her, resting his hands lightly on her hips as he whispered, "You know, I could go get you a cup of coffee..""No never mind, I will go get it myself."Henry nodded thoughtfully. It would be best if she stayed away from the ICU for a little while. He gave her hand a light squeeze, hoping to comfort her.Maybe it would help take her mind off things."Alright love, get one for me too, I love you," Henry said, he kissed the back of her palm before watching her leave.Exhaling a heavy breath, he went back to take a seat, before dialing an unknown number on his phone.Meanwhil
Third POV***"Thanks dear" Henry said quietly, he turned back to look at Ethan and the other lady who he wasn't interested in meeting."You shameless slut! Are you sleeping with my cousin now? you really want to ruin our family don't you. You are my ex-girlfriend Abigail!" Ethan pointed an accusing finger at Abigail, he didn't even bother to compose himself.The thought of Abigail and Henry together as a couple filled him with anger, and the more he considered it, the angrier he became.His words grated on her, and she snapped back in a voice that dripped with bitterness. 'I never want to see your face again, and don't you dare presume that you have any hold over me! Just the thought of your possessiveness makes me sick.' Her eyes flashed as she spoke.The idea of Ethan and Henry being related had never crossed her mind. They were so different, it was almost impossible to imagine them sharing the same blood. The very thought was utterly unexpected.In the past, Ethan had always been
Third POV***"All this, everything you told me was all a lie, I can definitely see that now." Lana said with gritted teeth,her voice rising as she spoke.Ethan had enough of it, he couldn't help but snap at her. "Just stop it Lana! Stop with your drama, I have had enough already, I don't... " His voice trailed off as his gaze fell on Abigail and Henry.They were brave enough to kiss and act all lovey Dovey in his presence, he didn't know why he was feeling this way, he shouldn't be bothered if Abigail moved on.But there was this heart wrenching pain in his chest, the pain in his chest was not a physical pain - it was something deeper, more visceral. It felt as if his heart had been cleaved in two, and the emptiness left behind was filled with a strange, twisted feeling that he couldn't name. Ethan's eyes were glued to the scene before him, even though every fiber of his being screamed at him to look away. He wanted to run, to hide, to escape the agony of seeing Abigail, his former
Third POV***In the car, Ethan sat as far from Lana as possible, a gulf of space between them. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of the engine and the swish of the tires against the pavement. He sat staring out the window, cigarette dangling from his fingers. The smoke from the cigarette curled upward, wisping into the air. He took a long drag, his eyes fixed on the passing scenery. Should he be called a coward for wanting Abigail back? Lana suddenly looked like dirt to him, unfortunately, he couldn't discard her even if he wanted to.He heard her sniff in her seat, who could blame her?After treating her like filth in the hospital, he hadn't realized that he still loved Abigail. Earlier, he found it hard to control his emotions.'I'm not a weak man. If getting her back will make me happy then I will. It is time for war dear cousin' Ethan said in his mind, a smile creeping up the corners of his lip.The realization hit him like a punch to the gut. No matter what h
Third POV***"Give me a kiss, c'mon, the baby wants to give daddy a kiss."Lana chuckled as she tried to kiss Ethan, he was way taller than her so she had to be on her tippy toes."Baby's gonna get mad at his father for ignoring his request" The corners of her lips turned down and she stopped trying so hard to kiss him.She could tell by the stubborn set of his jaw and the hard glint in his eye that her apology hadn't done much to appease him. Ever since they returned from their outing, he had been cold and aloof, barely even acknowledging her when she spoke. His only response was a curt nod as if he couldn't be bothered to engage in conversation. It was a bit upsetting for her but she had no choice but to try to get him to be the way he was when they had first met.She believed all he said, he wanted to take revenge on them both and that was the only thing he explained to her before wearing a cold chilly mask.Now, she felt bad and apologizing won't do a thing because she had been
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.

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
