Abby’s POVI felt a bit heavy on my back as I tried to get up from bed, I squeezed my eyes and opened it and saw his heavy arms on my waist and his face peacefully sleeping next to me. As I saw him, my eyes sparkled with happiness, and I caressed his face. He must be very exhausted, I thought he would travel here in one week, but he’s here with me. I tried to get his arm out of my waist, but he moved, opened his eyes, and stared deeply into my eyes. “Fabian?” “Good morning, wife.” "Morning," I said after taking a deep breath and kissing his lips. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He said, "Come back here when you're done.I giggle softly while I brush my teeth because God knows how much I miss this guy.Then, I bit my bottom lip when I thought about Faye again. How can I smile like this when Faye died because of me? I'm in such an unfair situation that I want to forget I even exist. When the bathroom door opened, I saw Fabian smiling at me with his messy hair, perfect jaw
Abby’s POVDoctor Ray said, "The baby is fine, she's in a good position, and the mother's health is stable, too." He also gave us more medicine for the baby's good development."Thanks, doctor. Excuse me for a second," I said politely and winked at Fabian. He already knows that I'm hungry again because I'm going to the kitchen. While I was in the kitchen, the nurse came in and asked, "Oh, my God, are you Fabian's wife?""Why? Do I look too ugly to be with someone like Fabian?" I smiled at her, and she frowned and said, "No, I just don't understand why Fabian was so in love with a woman like you.""Why don't you just ask him?"She laughed and asked, "Why would I do that?"Fabian came in and said, “Doctor Ray is waiting for you outside, Annabel.” Annabel smiled at him, “Mister Collins, if you don’t feel well tonight, just call me, I can be your nurse for tonight,” then she licked her lower lip with her tongue. She was about to go but Fabian stopped her, “Wait a minute,” She looked u
Abby’s POV"I want you to sit on my face. Abby, you have to do that. Don't make me say it again." He said in a hoarse voice; his eyes had me in a trance. Then I slowly got on top of him and spread my legs so he could see my wet little cave. Even though we had sex so many times that I lost track, this was the first time I sat on his face and waited for his hot tongue to touch my sensitive part.He pulled me up to his face, and I folded my legs tightly, but he spread them out and plastered a sweet smile at me. Oh! He looks so handsome and hot at the same time! I'm swooning! "N-no….I mean, yes?" Redness flushed my cheeks, and I felt myself sighing and getting hotter."Close your eyes...." He put his mouth on my clit, and his hot, wet tongue licked it slowly while his thumb rubbed my clit in a very pleasurable way.He slowly rubbed my folds and he whispered. "You are so wet…but if you don't like it, I'm going to stop—""Please... Don't stop." I let out a few muffled gasps and moaned as l
Miguel’s POV"I already told you to leave my room! whore!" She picked up her clothes, put them on again, and then walked away without looking at me.I rubbed my face with my hand and slammed the door in anger because this woman was such a pain in the ass.So I called Ella again and asked, "What's up? Did you find anything?"First, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry...I can't find anything here because it was just company paperwork and nothing else.""Fuck! You're unnecessary!" I ended the call and sat on the edge of the bed. Well, maybe from now on, I will have to focus on Abby while Fabian is not around. I turned on my computer to find out where Abby was going today, where she was going for her checkup, where she was going to eat lunch, and what restaurant it was. I still have to figure out how to get her.So I called Ella and said, "I want you to seduce Fabian."Ella was surprised to hear that, so she asked, "Are you kidding? Why would I want to do that?""Stop asking me a
Fabian’s POV"Where is she?" When I asked the maids and my men, they all kept quiet. They don't know how to respond. That constant expression of worry and anxiety on their faces was unsettling. I just got to the villa today and looked everywhere for Abby. Even her car wasn't in the garage."Your job was so easy—you just had to take care of her! How can you let Abby drive alone on the street?"The head of security stepped forward and said, "Mr. Collins, I'm afraid your wife's body is missing.""What do you mean she's missing?'" I yelled at them because I didn't understand what they were saying. I paid them to look after my wife! I thought she would be safe here, but I was wrong!"Damn! Can someone tell me what happened to her?!" My eyes blazed at them one by one with the intent to kill them with my glare. I simply cannot take the reality that this is another piece of terrible news!My life with Abby was perfect for a few months, and now, here we are again!“Answer me!” One of them say
Miguel’s POVTwo days ago, I was following Abby's car, and my eyes grew wide when I saw her hit and crush the tree in front of her. I got out of my car immediately and broke her car door to get her out. Her head was full of blood, but her arms were around her baby bump to protect it. I looked at her pale face and checked her pulse. She was still breathing. I was so worried at the time that I took her to my own doctor and closed the hospital so no one would know what had happened to her.The doctor went to the ICU and told me to go outside and calm down while they started surgery."We need to let the baby out...She's not doing well, Miguel, so just calm down." A doctor friend of mine said and tapped me on the shoulder.Victor closed the doctor, and I was praying that Abby would be okay.I told my men to tidy up the accident and make it look like nothing had happened. They did a great job, and I'm glad about that.As I waited for her to recover, I walked to the ICU and observed that the
Fabian’s POVOne year later,I'm in a bar right now, and all the girls are naked or half-naked as they pole dance in front of me. They tried to seduce me, but I couldn't get Abby's face out of my mind. I miss that woman a lot. She just disappeared for a few days, then weeks, then months, and now it's been a whole year! I don't have any information about her.I'm so tired that sometimes I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about her, but I can't forget the only person who makes my life happier.As I think about her again, I take a deep breath, drink all the whiskey, and close my eyes. When a soft hand touched my neck, I smiled softly and opened my eyes. Then I pushed her away like I was so disgusted by her touch."Get off!" She blinked her eyes in fear and said, "Sorry, sir." and left running.Xander walked in and said, "Look at you, you don't look good anymore..."I sighed and glanced at him, “I know, what do you want me to do?” “Maybe you should stop working, and start taking
Abby's POVCharlotte keeps me awake in the middle of the night because she cries, and her nanny Teresa can't make her stop. So I picked her up and tried to make her feel better.When she fell asleep, I gave her to the nanny and went back to my room. As soon as I thought of Miguel, I stopped and went to the guest room, where I found him sleeping peacefully. I tried to stroke his face because he looked both sad and lonely. I can't give him the love he needs from his wife. No matter what I do, I can't feel anything for him. Even if I tried, I couldn't make myself love him. All I felt was sympathy.He opened his eyes and tightly gripped my wrist, "Don't go. Sleep with me tonight," Even though some of my past was already buried, I did my best to be a good wife and mother. I know I have flaws and feel like I'm not myself when I'm with him. I try so hard to remember something, but it only gives me headaches, so I give up.I nodded my head and cuddled up to him. He put his arms around my wai
Santiago’s POVAfter his brothers left the Villa, I carried her to the bedroom. In the midst of my tight embrace, I blurted out, "Who was that guy?" She laughed at me and said, "Uh, I love putting Chris Evans pictures in my old room. I even told my brothers that he was my boyfriend." It turned her face red as she tried to explain it to me, and I could see the little girl talking about her crush right before me. "I like Captain America..." I nodded my head and said, “I thought you met someone like me…” She gazed at me, “Well, you are more handsome than him. I like you more….” Those words made me hold my breath. I wasn't ready to hear that yet, but she grabbed my arm, and I leaned forward to look her in the eyes. "I thought I was going to die," she said with a smile. Then she paused and said, "But if I really am going to die, I have to tell you how much I like you before it's too late." I caressed the side of her cheeks and smiled at her warmly, “I like you too.” I kissed her li
Santiago’s POVI no longer see the smile that Beatrice always gave me whenever she saw me; she was scared for her life. It's all my fault; I make a woman's life dull and unhappy. I should not have asked her to marry me just to get what I wanted.The thought of her driving me insane, and here she is, in the operating room, having the bullet removed from her abdomen. I hold my breath every time the operating room door opens. Then, all of a sudden, a doctor walks up to me and says, "We did everything we could, but she didn't make it. I am sorry." My heart sank when I realized the woman who had brought so much joy into my life had already passed away! Jeric gave me a sighing look and said, "I'm sorry for your loss." Then I closed my eyes and asked the doctor, "Are you sure about that?!" "I'm sorry, your mother didn't make it—" he looked at me. I smacked him in the face and told him, "You're fu*king wrong! How could you say that?" "I'm the son, not him!" the man yelled at the Doctor.
Beatrice’s POV“Wait for me there! I’m on my way! F*ck!” He cursed silently after the call.At every turn, I felt uneasy because someone had just placed a camera around the house. The enemy will use it against Santiago because it could cause a lot of trouble. Everything and everyone around him wants him to die or fail. It's hard for me to think that there are people in this world who exist solely to do something bad just to get what they want!Then I heard two vans pulling up to the Villa. One of them parked outside the gate, and the other van went inside. The driver got out to look for me. I ran to them immediately and said, "What's happening?" The man thoroughly examined me before saying, "Alright, Miss Beatrice, you must go outside." "Why? What's going on?" "The hidden camera you saw in the kitchen wasn't just a hidden camera; they wired a bomb to it!" the man said as he dragged me out the door. Then he looked around and looked for some people inside and I immediately remembere
Beatrice’s POVUp until he tripped and fell onto the bed next to me, he was lying on top of me, and my hands were resting on his chest. The way we looked at each other made it seem like he was trying to diagnose my problems, but I was perfectly OK. I pushed him away, and he rolled over next to me. He sighed deeply and stared blankly at the ceiling. "I think you need to rest in your own bed instead of mine," I told him. When he heard that, he got up and left without speaking with me. I sighed as I thought about what was wrong with him again! I got up early the following day and tried to decide what I would do today. "Good morning, ma'am," the kitchen maid greeted me. "Morning." "Sir Santiago has prepared breakfast for you, and it has been placed in the microwave; all you need to do is heat it up." She smiled at me.I nodded in agreement, wondering why he needed to treat me this way. This is something I can do myself. But the maid said, "Ma'am Bea, he told me he won't be home ton
Beatrice’s POVAs I look at him walk away, I hold my breath. He then waited for me in the car until I was done thinking about everything. Damn! From now on, I have no other option except to continue working for him until the contract is finished. "How could I marry such a cruel man? Mafias are bad, that's true. They break the law and do bad things because they want power as well as wealth. Indeed, I am right." I sucked in my breath because I thought I was so stupid for talking to myself about this!While my mind was racing with thoughts, I walked down the hall and saw that his guards were waiting for me outside. They opened the van door for me and then slid it shut. Santiago's driver got into the car and drove off. Santiago was still silent as I looked across at him. Something must be done because I don't know what to say to him. It made me feel like I was crossing a thin line to be with him. Even though he was nice, I'm still not sure if I should be careful around him. Although h
Beatrice’s POVHe found my question so funny that he was guffawing across the room. Then I glared at him angrily and said, “Well, that wasn’t funny.” "Beatrice, I like you as a friend and a good secretary and also as a good pretending wife and nothing more," Santiago remarked. It makes my heart skip a beat. Does he always have to hurt me by being honest with me?After that, I gathered my arms over my chest, raised my eyes to meet his, and said, "Yes, of course." I then returned to my room to grab a dress from the wardrobe to prepare for our evening supper. After settling on a white dress that seemed both understated and sophisticated, I accessorized with black heels and a matching white handbag. Afterward, I applied a touch of blush to my cheeks and a swipe of red lipstick. Upon opening the door, I found him waiting outside, asking, "Are you ready?" “I’m more than ready, Santiago.” He smiled at me, “I like that attitude of yours.” I answered sarcastically, “Oh, me too!” Then h
Beatrice’s POVTWENTY-FOUR HOURS LATER,It's something I never thought would happen. I was marrying someone I didn't know I'd be with. It was my boss, and I found his expression quite flattering; it was almost as if he was trying to tell me something about his feelings for me.Damn! I like him so much that I have to agree to his proposal! In the presence of an overwhelming number of strangers, I clutch the flower firmly in my fingers and fix my gaze on him. He smiled back at me after I smiled at him. "You may now kiss the bride," the priest said. He slowly lifted the veil above my head, and as he looked me in the eyes, he smiled broadly. Next, he lowered his head to plant a kiss on my lips, completely silent. When his lips touched mine, I closed my eyes and stood on my toes as he kissed me deeper. Following that, there was a resounding applause and enthusiastic cheers. As Santiago led me down the aisle, I saw my two younger brothers in the crowd. They looked so proud of me that I
Beatrice’s POV"Are you asking me to marry you? Are you----Are you drunk?" I asked him in a soft voice while looking at him blankly. I don't understand why he would pose such a question to me. This time around, he sounds so desperate.He looked at me with thin lips and then got down on one knee to put the ring on my finger. Everyone in the street looked at us as the center of attention. This time, I couldn't believe that my boss was going to ask me to marry him, and he's not even my boyfriend! What the hell is going on? I asked myself while my heart was pounding like a crazy heart beat. Gosh! This is wild. But he already put the ring on my finger and he didn’t even wait for my answer. “Let’s go.” I glared at him, “I didn’t say yes to you yet!” "But you need to." He took my hand and led me back to his car. "Hey! Not everything that you can get! You can't take that easy on me!" I yelled at him. "I understand that you're not like that. What I really want you to know is that I'm n
Santiago’s POVIt's been over five hours, but I still can't fall asleep because I keep thinking about how many enemies I have in this organization. Despite their friendly demeanor, they all plotted my downfall. I looked at the clock and saw it was three o'clock in the morning. What the heck? I have not yet gone to sleep. I got up, stretched my arms, and let out a soft yawn. I went down the quiet hallway and opened the door to Beatrice's room. She was already asleep. She was sound asleep in my bed, and her face looked like the face of an angel. When I thought about how I kissed her lips the other day, it made me smile softly. That made me feel a little happy, and I forgot how different my world was from hers. I closed the door and went to the couch to close my eyes for a bit. Then, out of nowhere, I awoke with another headache, and a girl was standing before my eyes. She sported a pair of shorts and a white blouse.She smiled and gave me the medicine and a glass of water. "Good morn
