Third POV***"BIXIE?" Mr Williams asked, his eyes still fixed on the paper."Yes, it is the young man we have been discussing, Boss," Hercules responded respectfully, noticing the image of the young man on the paper."What could be his purpose for visiting Zeng company?" Mr. Williams pondered, leaning forward with his chin resting on his hands. His brow furrowed as he thought about the potential reasons for Ethan's sudden interest in Zeng company."I don't want Ethan around my company," Mr. Williams stated firmly, his teeth clenched and a trace of irritation evident in his voice. He was steadfast in his decision to maintain a separation between Ethan and himself.Mr. Williams had never held a favorable opinion of Ethan, particularly upon discovering that he had been romantically involved with one of his daughters, only to end that relationship and pursue another of his daughters soon after. From Mr.Williams' perspective, Ethan was entirely unsuitable for his daughters, and he believ
Third POV***The soft beep of the door unlocking drew their attention as it slid open, giving them a view of the room. Seated at the center, a man occupied a chair with his back facing them.As Abigail and Hercules entered the room with an air of confidence, the man inside seemed not to notice them. He was sitting with his jaw resting on his hands, his brow furrowed and eyes fixated on the desk in front of him. Taking the initiative, Abigail broke the silence as she confidently proceeded toward the unoccupied chair opposite Ethan. With a sense of authority, she pulled the chair back and gracefully took a seat.Abigail's voice was filled with sarcasm as she spoke to Ethan. "Mr. Ethan Brundeen, it's so nice to see you again," she said, her tone making it clear that she didn't mean what she said and that she had a strong dislike for him.At the sound of Abigail's voice, Ethan turned his head to look up, visibly surprised by her presence. His expression was one of utter bewilderment, hi
Third POV***"Yes, Mr. Hercules?" Ethan replied calmly, despite his growing unease and suspicion towards Abigail."While your proposal is impressive," Hercules said, his tone shifting as his gaze locked on Ethan, "I believe we should carefully consider the implications and potential risks involved."Abigail, who had been quietly observing the exchange, spoke up with confidence. "I agree," she said. "A decision of this magnitude should not be made lightly."Ethan felt a surge of frustration but knew better than to let his emotions show. "Of course," he said with a forced smile, "I understand your concerns, and I'm more than happy to provide any additional information you may need.""Any information?" Abigail teased, clearly trying to annoy him and she was enjoying the nervous look on his face.Ethan's throat tightened, making it difficult for him to speak. He tried to talk, but no words came out. His lips moved in vain, rendering him momentarily speechless as his mind raced to compose
Third POV***The words kept ringing in his ears and he just stared at them, astonished and unable to believe what he had just heard.Was this a joke?Ethan's eyes fluttered rapidly as he blinked several times in quick succession. Despite this reflexive action, he couldn't help but notice the smug expressions on their faces. "Excuse me, that can't possibly be a serious request," Ethan responded, his voice laced with a hint of nervousness as he attempted to deflect the suggestion with a nervous laugh. He was expecting Hercules to do the same but his expression remained the same.Hercules didn't mean what he had said or did he?"Are you serious or is this a joke?" Ethan asked again, looking at Hercules for clarification. He was having trouble believing the situation and hoped that he was joking."This is not a joke," Hercules replied with a serious tone and a shrug. "It's an order from high authority, and I believe you have the potential to prove your dedication to the Zeng company de
Third POV***"You wicked woman!" Ethan hissed, anger burning in his eyes. "You think you've won, Abigail? Think again! Don't get too comfortable, because I'll be back to settle the score!”Abigail feigned surprise, her voice laced with mock concern. "Are you actually threatening me right now, Ethan?”In response, a thunderous laughter filled the room as Ethan cackled maniacally, his laughter reverberating throughout the room.The security pulled his arm forcefully, dragging him out of the office like he was some piece of trash.His laughter was difficult to bear, so the security men promptly escorted him out through an alternate exit to minimize any further disruptions.Whenever a person or traitor was asked to be thrown out of the company, they always followed a back door, it was said to be the door of doom.As Ethan reached the back door, his heart pounding in his chest, he felt a sudden push from behind. Stumbling forward, he lost his balance and desperately reached out to grab on
Third POV***Ethan's eyelids lifted slowly, revealing his surroundings. The distinct, sharp scent of antiseptic stung his nostrils, immediately catching his attention. He blinked repeatedly, attempting to clear his vision. As his eyes struggled to focus, he scanned the room, desperate to make sense of his surroundings. However, the shapes and colors blurred together, creating a confusing scene that left him wondering where he was.Ethan's body was drained of energy, he took a moment to simply lie still on the soft, comforting surface beneath him, allowing himself to relax."Where am I?" he whispered hoarsely, the words getting stuck in his dry parched throat. Panicked thoughts raced through his mind. "Wait! Did I die?"The images flashed before his eyes and he remembered seeing himself on the road and then all of a sudden, everything went blank.He couldn't remember anything after. Was he now in heaven?The bed felt so soft but he had heard about rumors of hell being an uncomfortabl
Third POV***Ethan furrowed his brow as he listened to the voice.'Why does this voice sound so familiar?' He asked himself in his head. Though the voice sounded familiar, he couldn't quite place where he had heard it from.He knew his memory wasn't at its best.This made it hard for him to connect the familiar voice to a person or situationEthan was confused because even though he didn't remember this woman, he couldn't figure out why he was invested in the discussion when he didn't know who she was or how they were connected. He let out a deep breath and made up his mind to leave the hospital as quickly as possible. Just as he was about to take a step forward, something caught his eye—a bracelet on the woman's wrist. This detail made him hesitate, his attention now fixed on the piece of jewelry, curiosity getting the better of him.Recognizing the bracelet, Ethan felt a moment of clarity. There was no doubt in his mind; he had given that exact bracelet to only one woman. He initia
Third POV***Lana's eyes widened in disbelief, and her mouth fell open, she suddenly pushed herself off the chair. Without hesitation, she began to adjust her clothes, pulling on the fabric in an attempt to cover her exposed cleavage. There were numerous questions on her mind, questions like - how did he get in here?Nodding her head, she tried coming up with an excuse but she didn't seem to come up with anything reasonable.Ethan walked into the room, his hospital gown loosely tied around his waist, exposing more of his body than intended. As he took in the scene before him, he demanded answers with a firm voice. "What's happening here?" he asked, his gaze fixed on her.He pretended to not know what was happening, shrugging his shoulders in an ignorant way.Her mouth quivered as she tried to open them to speak.Lana's voice shook as she finally managed to respond, "I...I came to speak to the doctor." Her hand moved unconsciously to her chest, as if trying to calm her racing heart.
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

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."

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

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
