Third POV***"Ma'am wake up" Adonis touched Abigail's cheeks gently, he wiped the tears on her cheek with his hands and turned to look at the men whose bodies lay almost lifeless on the ground.It will take them a lot of time to recover.He turned back his attention to his boss's woman, he knew he failed at protecting her and it could cost him his job."Fuck!" He clenched his jaw, stifling a string of curse words. Taking a deep breath, he reached out to check for a pulse on her wrist. His fingers pressed lightly against her skin, and he waited for the telltale flutter of her pulse. Luckily, she was still alive and he let out a sigh of relief.He lay on the ground, panting and trying to catch his breath. Once he felt a little more composed, he got to his feet. With shaking hands, he lifted Abigail into his arms and carried her over to the car. The vehicle was damaged, but it was still functional. He opened the back door and carefully laid her inside. That was the only way he could g
Third POV***"Kate" Henry yelled out furiously, he didn't even bother to give her a little bit of respect."Oh Henry" Kate descended the stairs, her arms spread out as if beckoning him for a hug."Don't you dare lay a hand on me! The only reason you're still breathing is because we're family, and even that is barely enough to save you!" Henry said through gritted teeth, the inner demon in him was begging to be released and he struggled to keep it at bay.His inner demon wanted no other than his aunt's blood."Why did you send your goons after Abigail?" Henry demanded, his body exuding power."Goons?" Kate asked, she looked at him as if he was saying something crazy."What are you talking about huh? Where's the proof." Kate challenged, she was a bit taken aback but she didn't let her nervousness show on her face."You are really testing my patience aunt! I won't spare you if anything happens to her" Henry pointed his fingers as if to warn her.Kate was speechless, her hands covering h
Third POV***So far so good, one month has passed and Abigail has been living peacefully in Henry's mansion.Her body had recovered and she was now feeling a lot more better.Henry, being the overprotective man that he is wouldn't let Abigail go as far as the Kitchen without appointing countless guards to follow her.Tonight was the fourth anniversary of the Brundeen's group, it was held in one of the most exquisite hotels in the country.A lot of prominent figures were invited and even some managed to get in only because of the powerful connections that they had.The party had already started and Abigail's heart hammered in her chest, she looked over to see Henry with his shiny blue mask on his face, making him look like a sexy devil.The mask matched perfectly with his navy blue suit, there was no doubt that it was worth a fortune.Abigail slipped the silk mask over her head, her fingers skillfully tying the bow at the back. She adjusted it carefully, making sure it was secure but
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
