Chapter 1: Who are you?
"Well, it hurts..."Abigail felt her body ache badly. She felt a sudden coldness in her body and opened her eyes quickly, which fell directly on the man who was close at hand.
Her eyes widened as she reached out to push the man away from her, but her wrist was gripped by the man's large hand and dragged above her head.
It looked familiar, very familiar. Where had she seen him before?
The man stopped moving but didn't move away from Abigail, his eyes staring down at her deeply.
"I recall now that you are Asher Reed of the Reed's Empire. My father's friend. You monster! Do you have no conscience? How dare you do this to my father? I will call the police and send a beast like you to jail…" Abigail's eyes became watery with tears.
How will she face her father now? And more importantly, her boyfriend, who was about to get engaged to her. More tears rushed from her eyes.
The eyes of the man became piercing. "You will call the police?" Mr. Reed asked in a low drawl, sending shivers down her spine with a voice cooler than the night's freshest air.
Abigail struggled to raise the volume of her voice. "Yes, I'll call the cops.You may be powerful, but that will be of no use to you because you've done something despicable. I swear you won't go unpunished. "
Mr. Reed's thin lips pulled up lightly with a plausible smile, but he still didn't budge. It was then that Abigail realized she shouldn't provoke him any further.
She swallowed some air, pressing her lips together. "Mr. Reed, please spare me. I have a boyfriend and we are about to get engaged. Let me go, please! "
The look of amusement and disbelief crossed his face. "You have a boyfriend?" He asked.
Abigail nodded without hesitating. "Yes," I have a boyfriend, and we're head over heels in love. We plan to get engaged as soon as I finish my studies," she responded, with her tender blue crystals glowing brightly.
"Who is your boyfriend?" His question caused her brows to furrow. Is Mr. Reed suspecting I have made up a boyfriend? She thought with her blue crystals of meeting him.
"Dave Andersen. He's my boyfriend and a senior at school. If you really don't believe me, why don't you have someone check it out?"
The man narrowed his eyes after hearing her speak. "That won't be necessary. I know him."
"You know him..." She repeated his words. Abigail's heart banged. Could it be that tonight's incident was premeditated? Her eyes shot up to the man. "Mr. Reed, could you be friends with him?"
Abigail tried to free her hand from the man's firm confinement, but she found out her strength couldn't wrestle with his.
"No," he answered back, sending her deeper into her thoughts.
If they weren't friends, then what was the relationship? Her heart shrank as she forced the words from her lips.
"Since it isn't friendship, it wouldn't be an enemy, would it?" She held her breath, awaiting his response.
"No"
She sighed in relief. "Then please, let go of me first."
Asher Reed looked at her quietly before his cold, magnetic voice rang in her ears. "So you and Dave Anderson are getting engaged soon?"
She nodded. "Yes we are. We have even chosen a date for the engagement already. It will be next month. "
She mentally made a request so the man would let her go since she was about to get engaged.
And Abigail's prayer was answered. Asher released her hands, and she snatched the phone from the bedside table, running straight to the bathroom.
As soon as she was inside, she locked the door, breathing deeply. Abigail leaned on the door with her eyes closed, and when she pulled it open, it landed on the tall mirror in the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, her eyes fell into it, and Abigail saw herself in the mirror. In sheer horror and disbelief, she screamed loudly. "Ah..."
Chapter 2 Abigail was shocked and stupefied as she gazed at the mirror in confusion. 'The fat girl in the mirror couldn't be her' She thought in disbelief. Abigail had always been cautious of her weight, and had never been overweight before. 'Stop screaming!' A whisper in her head yelled at her. Abigail stopped screaming, as she examined herself in the mirror. She pulled a hand to her face and pinched it firmly, the person in the mirror did the same. Unbelievable! How could this happen? Was she dreaming? Abigail never tore her gaze away from the fat girl staring right back at her in the mirror. She slapped herself, groaning from the stinging pain coming from her cheek, and the person in the mirror followed her action. 'Not a dream Aby. How did you turn into a fat girl?' Abigail had a lot of questions. Although her slender, pristine face no longer exists, but her facial features could still be seen, and Abigail could affirm it was her. She turned on the phone she
Chapter 3- The Truth Abigail's hand gently touched the swollen wound at the back of her head, she hissed in pain. But what Mr. Reed placed on the table before her made her care less about the pain. Immediately, she picked up the things on the table and looked at them.There were two red books. Abigail saw a picture of herself with a small, tender face, pink lips, and a slender and pristine figure. And beside her was Mr. Reed, wearing a stylish blue suit. He looked so handsome, but they weren't smiling. She saw the date on the license and it was two years ago. But she has no memory of her supposed wedding."Are you still calling the police?" Mr. Reed's question startled Abigail. Her eyes dropped to the marriage certificate again, and just then she understood why he had woken her up so intimately. He had done nothing wrong. After all, they were a married couple.Quietly, Abigail shook her head, meeting his green irises. "I don't understand Mr. Reed. Two years ago I was supposed to ge
Chapter 4- Do you have proof?"What?Abigail was shocked. Her eyes were especially bulging and round. The back of her head ached the more.Who was this Emma and Clara? And why would they push her down the stairs?"Tell them to come over." Mr. Reed ordered.Abigail's eyes darted from Mr. Reed to the housekeeper"Yes, Mr. Reed." The housekeeper shuddered and walked away.Abigail had many words to say, but they were all stuck in her throat as she cast a troubled glance at Mr. ReedHow she wished all these were just a terrible nightmare, but the swollen wound at the back of her head served as a constant reminder that this wasn't a dream.Mr. Reed turned his head away from her and the room returned to silenceHe picked up the tablet from the table, without saying a word. She took her seat, and waited in the uncomfortable silence that kept covered the room. Thankfully, she didn't have to suffer too longThere was a knock on the door, she hurried to it, getting it open. Her shining blue eyes
Chapter 5- Who is the mastermind? It was a surveillance video. Mr Reed picked the tablet from the table, showing the video to everyone. Abigail felt strange watching the person in the video. Not only did she look utterly fat in the video, there was something wrong with her. She seemed to have no spirit at all, like someone who has lost their will to live. This wasn't her. She couldn't be that person in the video. Abigail had always been spirited and bright, how did her life change so drastically?She fought back her unwanted tears, focussing on the video. She saw herself walk to the staircase like a zombie who'd completely lost its human brains. Then Clara and Emma emerged from behind, they smiled sickly at each other. Just as Abigail began to descend the stairs, Clara and Emma's hands pushed her down the stairs. The housekeeper rushed from the kitchen to Abigail with concern, while Clara and Emma were still standing at the entrance of the stairs. Abigail placed a hand on her ches
Chapter 6- Hey, why are you taking off your clothes?Abigail steadied her gaze, staring at the woman beside her."Do you know who I am?" The woman asked, her lips wide with a smile.Abigail looked at her intently, but unfortunately, nothing came through. She pursed her lips, shaking her head. "No. I'm afraid not. "The woman's face fell disappointedly, but her smile was still bright. "That's alright. Mrs. Reed, I am your doctor, Natasha Griffen." She said, smiling. "Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you in pain?" She asked.Abigail swerved her head sideways, and on the sofa was Asher Reed. He was sitting with his hands crossed against his chest, watching her. Their eyes met briefly, but she retracted her stare."For a start, my head hurts badly." Abigail touched the back of her hair, which had been carefully bandaged."That's normal. Anything else?" Natasha asked.Abigail considered her for a second. "This may sound crazy, but I can't remember anything from the last two years. It's as if
Chapter 7- Don't You Touch Me?Abigail could feel the awkwardness that charged the air. She paused, watching Asher who was staring right back at her with a serious face. She didn't want to upset him, so she got up, clutching the thin fabric of her nighties together.Abigail sat down on the other side of the bed. This was very uncomfortable for her. She may have been married to him for a long time, but he felt like a complete stranger to her."What will happen to Emma and Clara?" She decided to fill the awkward silence."They will be investigated by the police. There seems to be a mastermind behind the whole incident. "The police will take care of it," he said."Did the police find Clara's phone?""It was already broken when we found you..."Abigail hissed. "Clara broke it! Those little bitches, now we will never know who the mastermind is. ""The phone is broken, but we can access its call records.""That's right! How could I forget about that? So we can find out tomorrow, right? " S
Chapter 8- Doing sports togetherAsher leaned closer to her, noticing the curiosity imprinted in her eyes. "You are capable of warming the sheets just fine during winter" Asher said in a serious manner.Abigail blinked, it took her a full quarter-second to understand his words. So that was the only virtue she possessed. Somehow, she felt bad. "Thank you Mr. Reed," She smiled peevishly, dropping her eyes on Mr Reed hands on her waist. "Too bad it's summer now, you can let go of me." She smiled sarcastically.Asher was calm, staring at her, "It's much safer for you this way. After all, I had only left you for a second, and you fainted in the waiting room.""That was a different case, Mr Reed, I had been hit by Emma that's why I fainted." She inhaled deeply, "But seriously, if you don't let go of me, I might faint again because I can hardly breathe" Abigail really missed her once slender and perfect figure.After hearing her words, Asher didn't let her go, but pulled away just a little
Chapter 9 - We haven't contacted each other for half a year?Abigail dialed the first number she could remember, held her broken phone in one hand, while her other hand clung hard to the telephone.She listened expectantly, hoping to hear the familiar voice of her boyfriend, Dave Anderson, but to her disappointment it was the automatic voice of the service provider that sounded.'This user's number has been disconnected,'Abigail was quite shocked, she hung up and dialed again, but the response was the same. Dave's number was disconnected.How could his line be disconnected?Could she have remembered it incorrectly?But the possibility of that was very unlikely. There was no way in the world she could have remembered incorrectly, this was Dave's number for pete's sake.After dialing the third time, she still heard the same automatic response. Abigail felt a churn in her stomach. She had to give up for the time being, and dialed in her father's number.It was the same automatic respons
