Third POV***"Well, well, well," the woman purred, her lips curled in a sly smirk. "You must be Henry's new chick." She took a sip of her drink, her eyes never leaving Abigail's face. "What's it like being his latest conquest?”Abigail's eyes scanned the name that was boldly written in color gold- Cassandra.She didn't like that Cassandra referred to her as Henry's 'chick' so she avoided the question and remained silent."I'm so sorry about that," she said with a smile. "Let's start again. My name is Cassandra, but you can call me Cass, if you like."Cassy extended her hand for a handshake and reluctantly Abigail accepted, retracting her hand almost immediately."I'm Abigail." She already knew that Cassy knew her name but for the sake of courtesy, she decided to introduce herself again."Well, nice to meet you" Cassy lifted her glass, her eyes sparkling with mischief. With a wink, she clinked her glass against Abigail's before tipping her head back and draining her drink in one gulp
Henry's POV***"Hey young master, it's been a while."I heard a soft, feminine voice behind me, and I turned to see a woman standing there. My brow furrowed as I took in her appearance, trying to place her in my mind. Who was she?I racked my brain, trying to recall any memory of ever meeting her before. Yet, nothing came to mind."Hi," I said, my voice devoid of warmth. I turned away from the woman, a slight frown on my face as I sought to look for Abigail. My eyes darted around the room, searching for any sign of her. She must have been so bored and lonely. After greeting those people for the sake of courtesy, I was getting tired and I wanted her in my arms.Her strawberry scent always had a way of making me forget about my worries. Soon my gaze fell on her beautiful angelic figure.And there she was, chatting with a woman I knew all too well - Cassy.Cassy wasn't a threat so I was calm and didn't feel alarmed."Hey handsome"The annoying lady called again and I scoffed, what the
Abigail's POV***"Flirting?" As Henry looked at me, his gaze turned intense, the heat of his stare causing my heart to race. He leaned in, closing the distance between us. I felt my breath hitch in my throat, my heart beating wildly. As he stood before me, mere inches from my face, I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin. Suddenly I heard him chuckle and I turned to look at him with an angry glare. If my stare could kill a man then I'm sure he would have been dead a while ago."Do you think this is funny? Huh, answer me?" I asked with gritted teeth, I could feel my hands clench involuntarily."No" I heard him say nonchalantly and I scoffed, not wanting to believe that he was having fun when I was damn serious about this."Get out of my way Henry!"He stood with his feet planted firmly on the ground, a look of cool indifference on his face. His gaze was fixed on me, looking like the playboy that he was.It was obvious that he wasn't going to let me walk away, why was he mak
Third POV***A cheer of applause erupted from the crowd as Henry's words filled the party hall. The thunderous clapping of hands resounded through the party hall, creating a joyful buzz that spoke to the crowd's approval.They were obviously impressed and expected nothing less from the young master.The crowd's applause slowly subsided, their attention shifting to the stage as the auctioneer took the spotlight. The items up for auction were carefully selected for their worth, with all proceeds going to a worthy cause. The goal was to raise as much money as possible to benefit those in need.For a party as grand as this, one could only imagine the price of the items.Henry and Abigail sat at the head table, the center of attention as the partygoers watched them with interest. As the owner of the company, Henry was an important figure.The glares were mostly from people who wondered who the pretty lady beside Henry was.Some gave the look of envy, while some, mostly men admired Abigai
Third POV***The music stopped and the dance was over, but she felt frozen in place, unable to move even as the other dancers around her gracefully came to a stop. The spotlight was still shining down on her. All eyes were on her and it made her feel even more trapped.Abigail didn't realize that coming with Henry will be this overwhelming, the attention, the surprises and whispers from the crowd was a lot more than she could get used to within a short period of time.As she looked around at the crowd, Abigail realized that this wasn't going to be a quick ordeal. She would have to endure the stares and whispers for the rest of the evening, and there was no escape. Even though standing with Henry and gazing into his captivating eyes was a magical moment, she was nervous and shaky all through the dance.Slowly, Henry led her away from the crowd and into a more private area. Before the dance, Abigail had been told that they would be staying the night in this grand hall, and leaving th
Third POV *** "What do you want to talk about Zayn? " Henry asked, his hands were tucked in his pocket as he crossed his legs and rested his back on the wall while waiting for Zayn to say whatever it was that he wanted to say. Zayn looked around, although the place was quiet, he didn't want them to talk in an open area like that so he and Henry went into a VVIP room. Henry was sitting on a sofa, he leaned back causally before picking a cigarette from the pack. He held the cigar between his fingers, the end glowing orange as he brought it to his lips. The tip of the cigar was lit by the lighter, and the smoke curled up into the air. He seldom smoked cigarettes, unless he was worried about something or maybe he was bothered by something. Sitting down with Zayn reminded him of something really important. "Want a drink?" Zayn was pouring a fine brand of whiskey into a glass cup for himself, he had thought that Henry might be interested in having some and that was why he offered. B
Third POV *** "I'm assuming that it's a yes, right?" Henry asked just to be sure. Zayn brought down the glass from his lips and placed it on the table, he stared back at Henry with an expressionless face. Henry had done so much for him in the past, and he felt like he owed him. This wasn't a matter of choice, it was about loyalty and gratitude. "Alright, fine! I will keep an eye on her every move. If my boys suspect anything suspicious then I will make sure to inform you about it." Henry let out the breath he never knew he was holding. "Thank you" Zayn was about to reply when the door to the room slammed open, and four women dressed in lacy, revealing lingerie burst in. Each woman held a bottle of champagne, their eyes glinting with desire as they looked at the two men. Meanwhile, Henry spared none of them a glance, he was lost deep in thought. As they approached, the women's steps were sickenly seductive, their hips swaying with each step. They placed the bottles of champagne
Third POV *** The next day. Henry came out of his car, he had seen a little girl crying earlier on the roadside and he couldn't bear to see her that way so he hurried his driver to stop. He carefully approached the girl and lowered himself, his body bending at the knees until he was at eye level with the girl. The little girl's round cheeks were streaked with tears, her tiny frame shaking with the force of her sobs. As Henry bent down, she looked up at him with wide, fearful eyes. Henry's eyes met the girl's, her big, brown eyes swimming with tears. He didn't have much experience when it came to kids so he chose his words carefully. "Why are you crying little cutie pie?" His voice sounded awkward but he knew he did a great job of getting the girl's attention. She wiped her face with her little hands and turned to look at the handsome stranger who was squatting close to her. He looked just like the oppa in movies but that was less of her concern. "It's...it's...my mummy, she do
