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
Third POV***"Didn't I warn you? You really wanna know what pain feels like right? Someday, we will meet in hell but before then, I will show you what it feels like to live in hell." Henry thrust the knife into Tony's eyes and crimson blood droplets flew in all directions. The force of the blow of the blow was so powerful that it knocked Tony to the ground, where he lay writhing in pain."Now get out of here!" He ordered angrily, the mere sight of them filled him with annoyance.Some of the men winced as they walked, Henry's kick had broken their ribs and some of their bones, and they cried out as they regretted hitting Henry in the first place.Tony was the only one left on the ground, his body writhing in pain as he tried to pull the knife from his eye. His teeth clenched tightly and a low growl escaped from his throat. Each movement sent a new wave of pain through his body, his muscles quivering with the effort. He could feel the warm blood dripping down his face, the smell of bl
Abigail's POV***I just needed to get to the light, I was tired of staying in this darkness.It was like the ray of light was calling me and beckoning me closer, I followed the light and finally, I felt a strong force consume me.The distinct scent of antiseptic filled my nostrils, and my mind slowly began to gain consciousness. I struggled to open my eyes, my eyelids were as heavy as lead. "What's wrong with me? " I thought to myself, afraid because I could not lift my hands even though I was trying so hard to."What's that pain" I said in my head, slowly I felt my eyes flutter open, the bright light stung my eyes a little, making me squint.A blurry white haze was the only thing I could see, and my brain struggled to comprehend what was before me. I tried to focus and to make sense of where I was. Gradually, the image began to sharpen, revealing itself to be a ceiling.'Where am I?'I tried to turn my head to get a better view of my surroundings, but a sharp pain shot through my n
