Zac arrived at the office earlier than usual. Apart from avoiding Sidney, who kept sticking to him and somehow made him feel uncomfortable, it was also because he had to study the material and essential points during the meeting.

Reading Abby's name on the JA Company file in his hand, his heart raced. He wanted to contact her to ask how she was doing, but many things prevented him. Especially after what happened yesterday, maybe she was angry with him.

Should he clarify the matter by coming to her? But if he did, what if he was again unable to refrain from fondling her? Remembering the few times they had met, he still got carried away and let the urge be satisfied.

Zac rubbed the bridge of his nose as dizziness began to creep in. He needed a cup of coffee to clear his head.

Abby was sitting on the sofa in the corner of the room, the place she always chose whenever she came. However, she, who was usually alone, was now accompanied by someone.

    Abby was ready with everything she needed for today's meeting. Not only did she discuss the draft cooperation between JA Corps and Zacamers, but she also decided to merge a few percent of the shares between the two companies. If she thought about it, she realized this was quite a risky move because Zac could cheat and commit uncivilized acts like his father did. However, Abby would keep a close eye on things and not just trust him or his employees with everything. She would take care of everything herself, from start to finish. Abby had just arrived at the office when Tamara hurriedly approached her. "Ms. Genovhia, everything is ready in the conference room; it's just..." Tamara paused her words while Abby, who couldn't wait for her assistant to finish her sentence, hurriedly stepped into the meeting room, where the others were waiting.The sound of heels clashing with the floor rang out into the meeting room, making all those who had gathered stutter a

    Abby enjoyed her breakfast with her mind and heart in turmoil. What happened in the meeting room yesterday was very unexpected. However, she quickly managed to neutralize the mood that suddenly changed when she saw Sidney's presence, endlessly clinging to Zac's arm. She was annoyed at the intimate scene, which to her seemed excessive and disgusting. The reason was, in that room, there were not only the three of them—if Sidney intended to make her jealous, but there were several others who, in the end, were forced to become spectators. The feeling did not arise because she was jealous. In Abby's eyes, nothing interesting about Zac made her crazy.Although true, Zac was too handsome for any woman to resist—cropped copper-colored hair, sharp yet warm dark gray eyes, and a baritone voice that would probably make girls hold their breath if they heard it. However, none of that mattered to her. She only recognized Zac's good looks but never considered him to be her ty

    Abby was in the office with Alice when Mr. Thompson arrived. He had found out who owned shares in James Anderson's company. The man placed a brown envelope on the desk before Abby. "The envelope contains files regarding Mr. Anderson's shareholding in one of the subsidiaries he built, which EmerCorps has now acquired. However, I couldn't find any legal data on that action," Mr. Thompson said. Abby grinned. Hearing Mr. Thompson's explanation had opened her eyes. It was clear how cunning Garry Emerson, as well as his family and associates, were to go to such lengths to get what they wanted. "Of course, they didn't have strong data to take the rights to James' company, so they resorted to any means. I was hoping you could investigate the others involved in this illegal act. We can make it count with all of them. Without exception." Abby clenched her fists, furious at what she was hearing. She could have given up her fat

    Zac and Sidney, still on the same topic, argued with each other. Neither of them would budge or agree with the other's wishes. Abby could understand that. If she were Sidney, she would have done the same thing, protecting her boyfriend from other women. It was easy to deduce the purpose of Sidney's stubbornness. She still insisted on investing her shares. Zac, on the other hand, was the opposite. Abby listened to the increasingly complicated argument. She wanted to stop their actions, which were certainly disturbing her peace but was also curious as to how their quarrel would end. After letting her two guests argue, she finally had to make a decision. "Stop it! That's enough. Do you know you're acting like little kids fighting over candy? Shall I give you candy to stop this uproar?" Abby scolded, finally managing to stop the two. Zac looked sharply at her. Determining whose wish she was going to gra

    Abby was stunned to hear Doctor Gregory's words. Her eyes widened, not expecting the doctor who treated Selena to recognize her. Who exactly was this doctor? Why did he know so many things? "Are you surprised and wondering why I know who you are?" Doctor Gregory smiled, turning his body towards her. "You may be able to wear a thousand masks to hide from them—whoever they may be. However, you cannot hide from me. I'm a psychiatric doctor, Abby. I can read that something is wrong. And it's happening in your subconscious." "You can't just say things without proof," Abby argued. Doctor Gregory just flashed a faint smile. "You're right. I don't have proof, but DNA can be evidence. However, I won't do that because I know my analysis is correct. Go see her, Abby." Abby pursed her lips, her teeth chattering as she held back the emotions that were boiling up as if she wanted to explode right then and there. However, even though the doctor knew about her, she cou

    Abby froze at the sound of a voice that was certainly familiar to her. It had been a long day of tears, and now there seemed to be more. "What do you want?" she asked with a hoarse voice and a sad face. It wasn't a look of anger on her face but rather emotion, and there was a hint of annoyance. She wiped away the tears with her fingers. "Abby... are you crying? Hey, you should be happy to hear my voice, not sad." Abby quickly hid her sobs. "I'm not willing to cry over a cowardly man like you." Both of them were silent for a moment, stringing together the longing and memories that had been unraveled and scattered. Now, all the memories of their brief togetherness seemed to come back one by one. Piece by piece. "Did I hurt you?" asked the man on the other side. Abby wanted to nod, but her heart prevented her from giving any reaction. Of course, she was angry and upset. Also hurt. The man had left when she was most in love. "Abby,"

    Abby remembered the meeting with Ashton, then the unexpected incident where Zac suddenly showed up at her residence, and how he expressed his feelings and the confusion of being in a relationship with Sidney, making her feel crazy. Was Zac feeling frantic? Or was it just a pretense to give him a chance? But weren't the words of a drunk person the deepest expression of the heart? Maybe yes, maybe no. One sure thing was that Abby would not give her heart to just any man. Although Zac was also not a random man, what his father had done would indeed never be forgiven. Then what about Ashton? Should she give him a chance? What if, after getting a chance, the man just left again? Abby took a breath and then let it out all at once, releasing the burden plaguing her mind for some time. She intended to go outside for fresh air and a cup of coffee. However, before she could get up, she was surprised by the arrival of a man she did not expect at th

  • LOVE: Revenge in Disguise   Chapt 28: Erratic Feeling

    Abby felt like she was out of her mind. She never used to blush so much at any man's attention, but with Ashton, it felt completely different. She could be a different person when she was with him than when alone or with anyone else, except for her family, of course. And Ashton had already earned the same privileges Abby gave her uncles and aunts. Like today, Abby sat across from Ashton, enjoying a romantic dinner at her favorite restaurant. The faces of both of them never stop smiling, as she occasionally threw longing gazes, as did Ashton. Both of them looked drunk with romance. "So ... when can I meet your uncle and aunt?" asked Ashton, almost choking Abby. She did not expect him to discuss the same problem. Even though he had tried to divert the topic so that he would forget, however, he still remembered and asked the question in the end. "for what?" asked Abby, stammering. Luckily, Ashton did not notice the change in his face, which

    Two years later...Abby looked at her and Zac's wedding photo with tears still falling. It wasn't supposed to be this way. She should have left when she first realized she was pregnant or maybe when she first started to feel different vibes in her heart towards Zac.He was too naive to get entangled in Abby's false love, but even when he knew that, he remained unmoved and loved Abby and tried to forget the crime she committed.Zac was a kind-hearted man who was hurt and took things wrong. However, Abby was touched when her father-in-law returned after visiting him. What was that sad look on his face?"What did he say?" Abby asked, curious. It had been so many times that her father-in-law and Gin had come to visit Zac. They even asked many questions, such as whether the case he was facing could be suspended with some bail. However, Zac strongly rejected their intentions."I made a mistake after all. Abby was hurt because of me. So let me serve my sentence as it should be so that I will

    Right after her phone conversation with Ashton, Abby felt everything happened quickly. The next day, several police officers came to the Emerson family residence and revealed the evidence they had received regarding the case they had committed against the Anderson family.The only suspect, of course, was Amanda, while her daughter, Monica, was still unaccounted for and had disappeared into thin air.Gin read the headline news with a satisfied grin. Since the beginning, he had known many secrets about Alice, who turned out to be her aunt, then Ashton, who had been like a grim reaper for Amanda and Robert Marra, and Jude, who was the older brother of Tamara—Abby's assistant at the office.That was why they seemed to work together to avenge what had happened to James and Selena, and they became protectors for Abby and Gin.Abby couldn't believe how easily everything unfolded, and now it was time for her to tell Zac the truth. However, the news about his mother had left Zac quite devastat

    Abby was still bothered by what Garry had said at dinner. She would get her father's share of the business they had worked on, but that wasn't what she wanted.Luckily, Abby was still an intelligent woman who had foreseen everything she would face. She had recorded the conversation between herself and Garry, and repeatedly listening to it made her feelings worse.This morning, she had been in and out of the bathroom several times, vomiting up everything she ate. Even when there was nothing else she could spit out, the nausea she felt intensified.She became suspicious of what she was feeling at the moment."Al, tell me honestly, did the doctors perform an abortion back then? Tell me if they removed the fetus?" Abby asked Alice who took the time to visit her. However, Alice chose not to say anything.As much as Abby hated Zac and the Emerson family, the fetus should not be victimized."Do you want to hear my words?""Alice, I'm not in the mood to negotiate.""No, you're not. I'm not go

    Abby and Zac were already in the dining room with Garry, but she didn't see Amanda anywhere. Abby decided to search but didn't want to show everyone that she wanted to know how Amanda was after finding out her daughter was missing."What the hell did you guys do to eliminate those rats? Now I've lost track of my daughter." The woman sobbed. "By all means, search and find my daughter. I don't care about Sidney. I only want Monica. Are you listening!?"Abby had heard enough. Not from the beginning, but the snippets of conversation between Amanda and whoever was on the phone made her think.It was true that Alice had said that Amanda was the one who was being deceitful. She wanted to have everything and didn't even care about others. Everything was only about her. So, how did Garry deal with it all?How could he endure all this time living with a woman who didn't love him? Even behind his back, Amanda betrayed him and made him a target to get what she wanted.Did Garry do that on purpose

    "Are you busy today? Mom and Dad asked us to come over for dinner. But if you don't want to, it's fine if we don't come," Zac said as he shaved while Abby cleaned up his work clothes that had just been washed.Something she'd never done before—cleaning up after herself. Even though several servants were ready to help or do everything for her, for now, she felt like doing everything, even taking care of Zac's needs at home and work.Abby's movements stopped when she heard Zac's words. Instantly, she remembered what happened on her wedding day. She shouldn't have been afraid and asked Garry what made him so sure of his words. It could be that this was her chance.The other thing that makes Abby do it is Gin's statement, which says everything that happened to their family resulted from Sidney's father, Robert Marra. If that was true, then what role did Garry play? That was what she needed to find out.One way was to get close to the head of the Emerson family."Okay, no problem. We'll go

    Alice was relieved she had good instincts, especially regarding her best friend. If not, who knew what would have happened to Abby by now? It could be worse than this. She felt terrible when she learned that Abby had asked her to take her to a suspicious location. She had heard many things about the district. High crime, looting, robbery, even murder. Another one that worried Alice was the high abortion rate.Abby probably wouldn't do it, but what if she did?Alice followed where her friend was going, and when she entered a secluded alley, she knew her instincts were right. She was now pointing a gun at men dressed as doctors and medical staff—Alice wasn't sure if they were actually in the profession. There was no way a doctor would sully his title for the immoral deeds they were doing now."I'm Detective Denver. Let her go, or I'll take you to jail," Alice said firmly, gun in hand. The others raised their hands, allowing the convincing-looking woman to take Abby away.Alice left no

    According to some, including Zac, everything was going well, and he was living a beautiful and passionate married life. However, he had no idea that a time bomb was about to explode. He only envisioned a life of love with Abby, who showed the same towards him.For Zac, Abby's attitude was getting better, and Abby didn't understand what she was going through. She became very attached to Zac and was reluctant to let him go to work or the slightest distance so that she would sulk."Al, do you know what I'm experiencing is very strange? How is it possible, who has been reluctant to get close to Zac except to attract attention and ensnare him with a love trap so that he falls into my trap for revenge, now everything seems to be reversed? I hate being apart from him." Abby wrung her hair in frustration while at the office and received a visit from her best friend. "Is there something wrong with me?"Alice held her chin and looked thoughtful. She had never experienced the same thing; even th

    A fierce duel was inevitable between Jude and the man standing guard, along with some of the men who eventually moved to all sides to confront Jude's friend, who had managed to fend off the criminals attacking them outside."Jude, come in; I'll deal with them. Save Alice!" commanded one of them, who seemed to be the most elegant among the others and had been trying to block the attack on Jude.This time, however, the gang's boss would not let Jude go. He insisted the man stay there to fight the last drop of blood. Jude didn't mind doing that and still faced him, but his friend didn't let that happen. Again, Jude protected his position so he could immediately enter the room where Alice was. He managed to break down the door, which was already rickety and saw Alice trying to free herself by scraping the broken glass on the rope that bound her. Instead of breaking the rope, it was her hand that was scratched by the object, and she was helpless except to grimace in pain as the blood con

    Not many expected this, including Gin when one of Zac's confidants, who he said was one of the men he could rely on to help find Alice, was a familiar face to the Genovhia family.Gin's eyes almost glazed over as the man entered the room and removed the distinctive brown hat and coat he always wore, even when meeting Abby."Mr. Thompson?" muttered Gin, still unable to believe what he saw. Did this mean the man had betrayed his sister?"Hi, Young Master Genovhia," the man greeted when he saw Gin in the room with the others. Gin was the only one he recognized, so to the others, he only bowed slightly. "What can I do for you, Mr. Emerson?"The man was immediately quick to ask the task Zac was going to give him. Meanwhile, Gin, who felt trapped in this, immediately grabbed the shirt collar of the man who had not yet sat in his chair and dragged him out of the room regardless of his brother-in-law's call.He was on the verge of throwing a punch if Mr. Thompson didn't stop him immediately.
