Looks like you’ve settled in here,” Tiffany remarked to Abigail, catching her attention. Abigail was in the mini kitchen of the office, preparing some milk. Since she transferred to the main branch, she felt her life had become more peaceful. Except for the scandal a few days ago caused by her father's arrival, her stay had been relatively calm. Up to that point, the president's wife's identity remained a mystery among the employees.So far, she preferred her life at the main branch. Even though she wasn't close to many of her colleagues, she felt freer to do as she pleased. Moreover, Edward had given her permission to participate in the jewel competition. He had seen some of her designs and even encouraged her to join. Initially, she was hesitant, but Edward's encouragement persuaded her to design and participate. Besides, she didn’t have much else to do. Yes, she was Edward's secretary, but she didn't have many tasks to handle because Roen took care of most of the work for her."Is

Abigail glanced at the man who stormed into their office, visibly furious. She stood up in shock when she recognized the man who was angrily looking for Edward. As she stood, the man noticed her, causing him to stop in his tracks and stare at her. He frowned upon seeing Abigail. Abigail didn't know what to do at that moment. She looked around, thinking of hiding herself, but it was too late—her father had already seen her."What are you doing here? And of all places, I find you here. You're so stubborn and never listen. Don't you have anything better to do than defy us?" he scolded her as he walked towards Abigail and roughly grabbed her arm, causing her to wince in pain. The employees inside the office were also shocked by the man's actions, but no one dared to approach and help Abigail."You really didn't hold back. You actually married that man? Is this the price of marrying him? A job at his company? You've brought nothing but shame to us. You know we hate that man, yet you chose

When Abigail was finally discharged from the hospital, her heart sank as Edward insisted she move to the main office. Despite her reluctance and attempts to convince him otherwise, she couldn’t defy the resolute young president, especially after the recent accident. Edward's decision to transfer Abigail to the main branch shocked everyone. The announcement came with another surprise: James would be in charge of the jewelry competition at the original branch, while Edward himself would return to the main branch to tackle the accumulating workload. He further shocked the employees by declaring that Abigail would accompany him as his secretary. This revelation sparked curiosity and bewilderment among the staff, who couldn't help but wonder what made Abigail special enough for the President to bring her along.Abigail stood at the top floor of the imposing Ulrick Jewels main branch building, her eyes taking in the sprawling cityscape below.

"Find out what happened.” Roen’s voice cracked with fear as he stared at his wife’s pale face, desperation seeping into his every word. “I need to know why this happened to Abigail,” Edward commanded his tone a dangerous mix of fury and anxiety. His eyes were ablaze with a burning intensity, and his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Roen could almost feel the storm of emotions raging inside Edward, and he knew that any answer less than the truth would not suffice. Abigail’s life, and that of their unborn child, had been teetering on the brink of disaster. Even if their marriage was a mere formality, Edward was determined to protect Abigail and their baby at all costs.Roen rushed back to the building, his heart pounding with a mix of dread and determination. He found the young women they had seen earlier, their faces still etched with shock. His eyes narrowed as he scrutinized their every movement, searching for any hint of deception.

"Ah, you're here," one of Abigail's coworkers said as she arrived at their office. As soon as she entered, everyone turned to look at her. From the way they were looking at her, she could already guess the reason behind their stares. It was probably because of the recent anniversary party. She figured everyone would be asking her about what happened. After all, she was the only one in the company without an invitation, yet she suddenly showed up with the president, wearing the company's expensive necklace. Even she was puzzled by what had transpired."Imagine that, a simple secretary suddenly becoming the lady of the night because of the Crimson Fate necklace. Tell us, what did you do to fool the President?" a woman asked as she approached Abigail, her tone dripping with sarcasm."You're a disgrace. I never thought you could do that. Did you know you stole the spotlight from Celes? Tiffany said Celes was supposed to wear the Crimson Fate because she's the actress and model

"You did a great job earlier," Roen said to Abigail with a smile as he escorted her to a luxurious suite in the grand hotel. The night had grown late, and Edward had decided they should spend the night there. With Edward still engrossed in conversations with the guests and company directors, Roen had taken on the responsibility of escorting Abigail to the suite."I didn't do anything but stand on stage. I don't understand why the President made me wear this necklace," Abigail said, her voice tinged with confusion and unease. She glanced at the ornate box she was holding. After the event, she had immediately returned the necklace to the box, afraid that she might damage it. She knew how important the necklace was, not only to Edward's family but also to the company. The weight of its significance felt almost too heavy to bear."He has his reasons," Roen replied, his smile unwavering, but his eyes holding a hint of mystery."Hope that reason is a good one," Abigail muttered, handing the

"Edward!" called out a young woman wearing a deep burgundy dress, featuring a fitted, mermaid-style. Abigail, upon hearing the familiar voice, turned her head towards it. She couldn't help but be amazed by the woman's stunning beauty."Celes," Edward greeted the young woman warmly, recognizing her immediately. Abigail knew who had arrived. Celes was the famous actress rumored to be Edward's girlfriend."I'm glad you made it," Edward said after giving Celes a light kiss on the cheek."Of course, you invited me. And it's work. I'll be delighted to wear your new jewelry collection," she replied with a charming smile. Edward returned her smile."Roen, please escort her to her dressing room. And inform the team to start the show," Edward instructed.Aside from celebrating their company's anniversary, Edward took this opportunity to showcase the new Ulrick Jewels collection, followed by announcing the design competition for the next collection.As Celes

While Abigail watched Edward speak on stage from a distance, a man approached her, carrying two champagne glasses. His presence was confident, almost magnetic."Hi," he said with a charming smile, stepping closer."H-hi?" Abigail responded, her voice tinged with hesitation."Pablo Ortez," he introduced himself, extending his hand. "You looked stunning. I couldn't resist coming over to meet you," he continued. Abigail managed a polite smile. It was rare for someone to approach her with such interest.Normally, people avoided her because of her unique hair color. But tonight, her appearance seemed to have a different effect."Abigail," she replied, shaking his hand."For you," Pablo said, handing her one of the champagne glasses. Abigail glanced at it, knowing she shouldn't drink because of her pregnancy. However, refusing might seem impolite."Thank you," she said, accepting the champagne."You know the Ulrick President?" Pablo asked, h

All eyes turned to Edward and Abigail as the main door of the hall, where the Ulrick Corporation's anniversary party was being held, swung open. The room fell silent, captivated by the sight that met them, especially Tiffany and James, who were left in disbelief. Akira and Laylah, observing from a distance, couldn't help but smile as they saw the couple. Their entrance was nothing short of breathtaking, with Abigail effortlessly stealing the spotlight. Her beauty outshone everyone else in the grand ballroom. As the door opened, a wave of nervousness washed over Abigail, causing her to take a step back. For a brief moment, she contemplated fleeing, but her feet wouldn't obey. Clutching Edward's arm tightly, she felt the reassuring pressure of his hand on hers. He gently patted her hand, silently conveying that everything would be alright.Walking towards the front, Abigail felt a sense of vertigo. If it weren't for Edward by her side, she feared she might collapse. The eyes of t
