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
Abigail’s POV *** “Mother, have you seen my charm bracelet?” I complained as I proceeded to look for my bracelet.“I saw it in the drawer. Let me go get it for you.” My stepmother politely replied before walking over to the drawer.“Here you go, sweetie.” I felt my heart swell with gratitude. A smile spread across my face as I reached out to accept the bracelet from her. But to my surprise, she didn’t give it to me right away. Instead, she gently grasped my hand in hers.“Allow me to assist the birthday princess,” she said with a warm smile, as she carefully placed the bracelet on my wrist. She then gave me a gentle pat on the back.The gesture was so kind and thoughtful that I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. I had never felt more appreciated and loved, than at that moment. I was never one to get angry. I believed that my stepmother wanted the best for me and that was why she was eager to help me on my 20th birthday.My father, Lord William, filled the invitation list for m
Abigail’s POV The next morning, I was in severe pain throughout my body, particularly in my lower body. I winced and slowly sat up, blinking my eyes open.My eyes darted around the room. I felt a warm breath on my back and I spun around to see where it was coming from.I caught sight of a man sleeping soundly in the bed with the sheets pulled up over his face. I gulped in fear and my heart began to race.Where was I? It didn’t take long for me to realize that I was naked under the sheets. Knowing what I had done, I began to weep.What would my father think of me? And most especially my boyfriend, Ethan.They would all call me a slut because I had sex with a stranger. If anyone found out about this, then my life would be miserable and useless.I was terrified of what people would think of me if they knew what had happened. They would probably see me as a promiscuous lady.If my family learned about this, then I would be in serious trouble.I bit my lip. “No one must know about this.
Five years later,Abigail’s POV ***“Audrey, please be a good boy and stay close to me,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm and steady. “I’m worried that you’ll get lost in the airport if you wander off. You know how important it is for us to stay together.” He was only four years old, and I knew he could be quite stubborn, but he was also the most adorable child I had ever seen. Despite his occasional tantrums, he had my heart completely wrapped around his little finger.“Mom, I’m not a baby anymore! I’m a big boy, and I can take care of myself. I should be the one protecting you, not the other way around,” Audrey protested, his little cheeks puffed up with indignation. He was definitely an intelligent child, with a strong will and a determined spirit. But he was still so young, and I couldn’t help but worry about him.I giggled lightly, “Your aunt, Joyce, will be here soon, let us sit down and wait for her.” Audrey’s eyes lit up when he heard his aunt’s name. I had told him so m
Abigail's POV *** I stepped through the door of my childhood home, taking in my surroundings. Nothing had changed in the five years I'd been away. It was as if time had stopped in this place, and it was still stuck in the past. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart and my shaking legs.My heart pounded in my chest, thudding loudly as I walked down the hall. It felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. My body was still trembling, my hands shaked uncontrollably.I only needed to see my father, and after that, i would leave the house.I trudged up the stairs, wiping the sweat from my brow. I had lived in this house for twenty years, and I knew its layout like the back of my hand. I could easily find my way to my father's room, but just as I was about to climb the next step, I heard a familiar voice call out my name."Welcome back, sister. " I turned back only to see Lana and Ethan standing a few steps away, their hands intertwined. My heart sank, and I felt a wave
Abigail's POV *** "Father," I whispered, as I crept into the room, careful not to make a sound. I closed the door behind me, then approached him slowly.When I reached the bedside, I noticed how gaunt my father had become. His once-strong frame was now frail, his breathing shallow and labored. I felt a pang of sadness as I took in his appearance.I sat down on the edge of the bed, taking care not to jostle the mattress and disturb his rest. I was careful not to make a sound, hoping that he would remain asleep.As I studied my father's face, I noticed that his hair had turned almost completely gray. The silvery strands were twice as numerous as the last time I saw him.Tears rolled down my cheek and I quickly brushed it away, not wanting to be caught crying. I didn't want to worry my father, especially not now.My father had always been so kind and generous, always putting others before himself. He had done so much good in the world, and yet here he was, suffering. It didn't seem fair
Abigail's POV *** My fury was beyond words, and all I could do was clench my jaw and bite back the urge to rip into the witch's neck. I knew that violence wouldn't solve anything, but it was hard to keep my emotions in check.Though I would have preferred to look away but i forced myself to turn and face her. I caught sight of the tray in her hands, trying to ignore the smell of fresh, warm food."Ah, it's wonderful to see your daughter here, isn't it? I'm glad we've moved past our differences. It was quite a difficult time, but we've come out stronger." She flashed a feigned surprise and approached me with an angelic smile.Her smile was so sickeningly sweet, it made me want to gag. Despite the cheerful expression on her face, I could see the malice and hatred behind her eyes. It was clear that she despised us, and we felt the same way about her. The act she was putting on was so transparent, it was almost laughable. This woman, with her saccharine smile and forced kindness, was t

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."

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.

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
