Eric's POV Everyone had their attention on her now. “I know where he is. I know where he kept my baby.” Abbi cried. “There is an underground basement in that park. It is hidden behind…” She closed her eyes, trying to remember the location of the basement. “It’s right behind the weird-looking large oak tree that is beside the restroom on the left corner of the park…Oh God, my baby…Eric…that place has no proper ventilation. Our baby…” She shivered in fear as she sobbed. I quickly held her in my arms. “Nothing is going to happen to Claribel, my love. She'll be just fine,” I whispered to her.“I have informed James. We have to head to the station to plan how to raid the place tomorrow,” Mark said.“Let me come with you,” Abbi said before we could leave.“No, my love, you’re not going anywhere. You’re going to stay here while I go with Mark.” I said seriously.“But I'm the one who knows that place the best,” she argued.“And I'm sure Mark and Damien's men can find the place easily with
Abbi’s POVI have been waiting nervously in the van. I didn’t want to wait there and do nothing to get my baby back. Once she noticed the guy in the van wasn’t paying attention to me but on the footage of the drone he was flying following that monster I grew up with, I sneaked out of the Van. Making my way carefully into the park, I saw Andras. I was filled with rage and hate towards the man I once called dad. I immediately charged towards him without thinking, holding him by his collar. “Where is my daughter? Where did you keep my baby?” I yelled, gripping him tightly and pulling him by his collar.“Oh Abigail my dear daughter, I see you found me. ..But it was foolish of you to come here on your own.” He sneered, noticing no one was with me. Fear crept into me as I remembered all he put me through while growing up. He’s so evil that he’ll not even think twice about doing the same to my baby.“Now you’ll have to die with your pathetic baby.” “Where the hell is my child, what did
Eric’s POV“W-why isn’t she crying? why isn’t she breathing?” she asked, her voice laced with fear. “Why the hell is my baby not breathing? Eric, she’s not breathing,” Abbi said wailing. “What do you mean she’s not breathing?” I took Claribel from her hand and tried waking her up but no response. We quickly rushed her to the hospital.Abbi held on to me for comfort, fearing for the worst as the doctors attended to our daughter. The doctor approached us after what felt like an eternity, with an unreadable expression. “No…no,” she whispered shaking her head defiantly after looking into the doctor's eyes, waiting for the heartbreaking news. “We managed to save her,” said the doctor, surprising both of us. “But she’s still in a critical condition. She has been starved for a week which has greatly weakened her immune system and other organs, therefore her development may be slower than normal. However, we’re monitoring her recovery and she should be fine by the month's end.”We were sti
Abigail’s POV “You should pack your bags, you will be getting married on Friday," My dad said, taking a seat on the worn-out couch in the sitting room.“W-wh-what? What are you saying? Me?...marriage?... With whom?... How? When?... Why? Wait, wait, wait. Is this some kind of joke or something Dad?” Knowing my dad, he definitely wasn’t joking but I never expected something like this from him.“Why didn’t you ask me if I was interested?” I asked, horrified. “I don’t have to ask your permission; I am in charge of you, I own you so I can do whatever I want to do with you.” He said, unbothered by my feelings. “By the way, I have received the bride price and signed a contract, so you now belong to them”.“Dad! How…how can….how can you do this to me? I’m your daughter! You sold me out to people I don’t know, people YOU don’t know! What if they do something bad to me?”“What they want to do with you is none of my business, I already collected the money, so get ready to leave with him,” he
Abigail's POVI looked around my surroundings with my mouth and eyes wide open. I was baffled as to what I was seeing.“Umm…wh-where are we?” I asked scanning everywhere bewildered.“Welcome home Young lady, this is where you will be staying,” he said, smiling genuinely.H-home? Is this really where I’ll be staying? Just how much money does this man have? What was in front of me didn’t look like an ordinary house. I have only seen this kind of house in TV shows. You know the kind they show in movies where billionaires live, that's what my eyes are seeing. He stopped at the front of a metal door and pressed something on the wall and after some seconds, the door opened. I was speechless for a moment. An elevator? In a house like this? I get that the house is huge and everything else, but it was just like a 3-story mansion. Was an elevator really necessary? “This is your room,” The old man said, bringing me out of my thoughts.Here I was, going to meet my unknown husband. My body was
Abigail’s POV “Well, well, well, look who we have here,” she said, mockingly “H-hey Abygale,” I greeted, trying not to sound scared. “Oh, I see you remember me, my pathetic shadow. How has life been for you without having any of my achievements to feed on? Oh…I know. It must have been so bad that you have to come to court to settle your debts.” she mocked. “Look Abygale, I have no time and energy for any problem. Just go your way and let me be,” I said to her, not in the mood for any of her bullying. “I see you’ve grown wings, Abigail Williams,” she seethed, stepping on my toes. “But luckily for you, I don’t have time to deal with a worthless garbage shadow like you,” she said walking off. I heaved a sigh of relief. That wasn’t so bad. I just have to make sure I never see her again. I hate her so much. Abygale Willows, my worst nightmare. We attended college together and I was known as her shadow. There was nothing I could do to get rid of her. Worse of all, our names are simi
ERIC’S POV I finished what I was doing in the office and decided to go to sleep. I was going to sleep in the room next to my room, but I didn’t want her to feel that I hated her and was avoiding her, so I decided to sleep on the couch where I slept last night. Yes, the original plan was to sleep on the couch but for some unknown reason, when I got into the room, that plan left my mind as I went straight to lay on the bed. I didn’t know why I was doing that; I guess I missed my bed or I just wanted to stay close to her...as if the couch wasn't close enough. I realized that wasn’t really a good thing. She quickly sprang up from the bed. “What are you doing?” she asked. “Trying to sleep,” I replied. Though I couldn’t see her face as the lights were out, I could tell she was uncomfortable and that was the last thing I wanted her to feel. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I’ll move to the couch.” I said getting up from the bed. “You’re not making me uncomforta
Erics POV “Umm…which JS company is that?” I asked as I thought there might be another JS company except the one I knew. But she cleared my confusion and made it clear that the company she works at is the one I know. “And you said you work as the secretary to the boss, right?” I asked, and she nodded her head in response. “Which boss is it you work for?” I asked again with anticipation. I don’t know what she is going to say but I did hope it was what I wanted to hear. “I work for the CEO.” As she said that, a small smile crept to my face. I didn’t know exactly why, but I was happy...very happy. “It’s quite surprising right?” She asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. ” I also wasn’t expecting that position as I applied for a position in the HR department. But I couldn’t reject the position as it was a miracle, I got hired in the first place,” She said smiling.“So how is your boss?” I asked her, wanting to know what she thinks about her boss. “Well, I haven’t met him since I sta

Eric’s POVIt’s been one week since Abbi gave birth. One week since our daughter was kidnapped and one week since we found out that Andras, her long-forgotten dad, was behind the kidnapping. Abbi has barely eaten and barely spoken to anyone. She just sleeps, wakes, and cry. I'm glad that she still speaks sometimes and she did not run insane. Everyone took turns in visiting and trying to encourage her.Lau canceled her show, Tessa flew back from Texas with her husband, and Lisa always came to her everyday. With Mark and James' help, we were able to find out that Andras was in a huge debt and he probably found out Abbi is living well through our wedding pictures that circulated on the internet two months ago. He has been following her up until the hospital. He had gambled away all the money he got from giving Abbi away. Which surprised me because it’s been just two years, not even that yet and he was given two hundred million dollars.They have been trying to track him down for the
Abbi's POVI'm gonna kill you today Eric!” I said, limping gracefully and carefully around the house, with my baby bump chasing Eric who turned my face into an artwork of a three-year-old.“I'm sorry my love,” he laughed.“No, you're not. I'm going to deal with you once I get my hands on you,” I said, still trying to catch him.After a good while of running after him, I sat down and began to cry.“You know I'm going out to dinner soon with Lau and Tess, and you turned my face into an art museum,” she sobbed.“I'm sorry my love,” He said, coming close to her. “I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't cry,” he said, trying to coo me. I know just how to get him.Before he knew what was happening, I held him tight and poured the cup of cold water beside me on him.“Gotcha!” I laughed victoriously. Eric just stood there looking at me amusingly. “Now I have to clean this off my face before time catches up with me” I smiled standing up. “Be careful love, you don’t want to slip” he said, hol
Abbi's POV "And why not? It's not like we're going to a party." I was annoyed at what was happening. “You just can’t wear that. If you want to see Eric, you won’t wear that. Go change” she insisted. I can't understand why she’s doing this, why everyone is hiding something from me. I reluctantly went to change my dress. “Just pick something for me to wear. I’m tired of changing. I just want to see Eric now,” I complained after trying on more than three outfits already. After dressing up in the outfit she picked, she ushered me out of the house into her car, driving me to my husband, I just hoped he was alright. We arrived at our supposed destination. I was already
Abbi's POVIt's been almost two years since I got married to him and I'm pregnant. I couldn't believe it. I'm carrying a human being inside my belly. I robbed my belly smiling.Just then, Eric came in with the things I asked him to buy. "Hey love, I'm back." He said dropping what he bought in my front. I eagerly picked it up and opened the bag only for my smile to drop."This isn't what I want." I cried."I wanted the strawberry flavor of the drink. You bought me cinnamon rolls but I wanted coconut bread. I also wanted the spicy chicken but you bought the mild one." I complained in tears."I'm sorry my love. I'm really sorry. Please don't cry, I don't like it when you cry. I'll go get you exactly what you want." He said, maki
Abbi's POVI'm sure everyone heard that voice. It held so much anger in it and it... sounded like Eric's. No one was talking anymore. All the murmurs stopped. And I guess everyone's attention was on the person who spoke.My head was hurting too bad for me to turn and see who it was even though my heart, mind, soul, and body knew who it was."Girlllll... your husband is here to save the day." Lisa squealed in my ear before helping me fully stand.In a few seconds, he was standing next to me and his cologne wrapped around me. It's been only a day but goodness, I missed him badly."You dare raise your hands on my woman? What gave you that right?" He questioned, looking into the depth of her soul with anger. I've neve
Abbi's POVI was about to say something but stopped when I saw pictures of myself on all five screens in the lobby. These were not just pictures of me. The pictures were of me forcing myself on Eric which I could not understand because I could swear with my life that this scene had never transpired between us.It wasn't until I saw one of me kissing him while he was asleep I understood what was going on and who was behind it.Abygale. That freaking devil.How could she go this far? She even went as far as editing so many photos in just one night. I should have expected this from her, i should have known better.I was getting a lot of hate glares from the girls while older women sent me the ' you should be
