Too Close To Handle Caught in the Crossfire
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

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 stepped out of Ulrick's building, her mind still preoccupied, only to be startled by the sight of her parents standing stiffly in front of a van. “Mom? Dad?” she asked, her voice a mix of confusion and unease. Her parents, upon seeing her, wasted no time and approached her with determined strides.“Wait, you're hurting me!” Abigail cried out as her father gripped her wrist with unnecessary force, dragging her toward the van parked nearby. The sudden aggression left her stunned.“Excuse me, what’s going on here?” the building's security guard intervened, his voice firm as he stepped forward to protect Abigail. He had noticed the rough way her parents were handling her.“Stay out of this. We’re her parents. We have every right to do what we want,” Abigail’s mother snapped, her tone sharp and dismissive. The guard hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.“Stop resisting. We’re not bad people. Come with us quietly if you don’t want to get hurt or embarrassed here,” her mother added, h

When they returned to the island, Abigail wasn’t shocked when her parents locked her in the storage room once again. It had almost become predictable to her, although she couldn’t help but wonder about their intentions. Why had they bothered to bring her to the island if they were just going to imprison her like before? Deep inside, Abigail had long accepted that she was not regarded as a daughter by her parents—they saw her as nothing more than an unfortunate burden.She pounded desperately on the storage room door, but her efforts were in vain; no one came to her aid. Exhausted and defeated, she scanned the dimly lit room, eventually sinking to the ground near the door. Wrapping her arms around her knees, she rested her head on them, consumed by silent sorrow and confusion.Outside the house, Abigail’s younger sibling confronted their parents as they returned from the docks.

"Sir!" Roen burst into Edward's office, his voice trembling with urgency. The young man stood there, chest heaving as if he had sprinted all the way. It was already late into the night, the kind of hour when silence blanketed the building, save for the distant hum of the air conditioner. Edward, still immersed in a pile of unfinished files, barely glanced up."Why are you in such a state? Did something happen?" Edward asked, his tone calm but with a hint of concern. His eyes flickered to Roen for a split second before returning to the document in his hand."Ah, by the way," Edward continued, his voice steady as he pushed through his exhaustion, "I sent Abigail home early. Could you call her and check if she's had dinner? I might be here longer than expected." He delivered the instructions almost absentmindedly, his focus unwavering on his work.But when Roen failed to respond, Edward's attention finally snapped to him. The younger man stood there, rooted to the spot, his face pale and

Amazed, Abigail gazed at the cruise ship standing before her. She could hardly believe that, after three months of saving her salary, her dream of marrying the man she loved most was about to come true. The events seemed to unfold too quickly, but she was ecstatic that her dream was becoming a reality. Ever since graduating from college, her only aspirations were to secure a stable job, which she achieved as an office clerk at Ulrick Group, and to find a partner to marry eventually.Upon joining the Ulrick Company, Abigail felt a wave of fear, questioning her ability to socialize due to her introverted nature. As a country girl stepping into the corporate world, she faced a daunting challenge. Despite her shyness and reserved demeanor, she discovered joy in her duties, cheerfully buying coffee for colleagues, photocopying documents, working late, and assisting with her coworkers' tasks.Working at the company became easier for Abigail, especially after meeting James Ulrick, the son of

"You haven't changed a bit. From high school until now, you still dress the same. How do you expect to get a boyfriend like that?" Tiffany remarked, looking her up and down. Abigail glanced at her friend. As far as she could recall, Tiffany didn't use to dress this way in high school or college. She used to say that it didn't matter what they wore as long as they were comfortable, that it was all about how one carries oneself. But now, it seemed Tiffany had changed 360 degrees; even her clothes and the bag she carried were branded. Abigail knew that Tiffany's family was affluent. It seemed she was the only one who remained unchanged over time."Come, I'll introduce you to someone," Tiffany said cheerfully, taking the young woman's hand and leading her to the table where James was seated."I met him earlier while touring the cruise," Tiffany explained, stopping in front of James."James, I want you to meet my friend, Abby," Tiffany introduced. "Abby, meet James," she said, turning to l

"Why isn't he here yet?" Abigail wondered aloud while waiting inside the function hall for James. All the other couples to be wed that day were already grouped, leaving her the only one alone. Several staff members approached her repeatedly, saying the wedding was about to start and that her groom needed to arrive soon or they would not be able to participate in the ceremony. The young woman assured the staff that the young man was on his way. However, minutes passed as she stood by the door of the function hall, and still, there was no sign of James.The woman's shoulders slumped as she watched the wedding ceremony unfold. All the couples present were joyful except for her. Not only was she unable to attend the wedding, but her groom also did not arrive. She watched them exchange vows with happiness while discreetly wiping away her tears. She didn't know what happened to James or why he failed to show up for their wedding. Was she the only one excited about their union?Abigail dropp

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. Despite her pleas to Edward, trying to persuade

"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. He questioned James and Tiffany
Too Close To Handle Beyond the Spotlight
"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
