I am about to kiss you," Edward declared to Abigail."I – I might be bad at it," Abigail said. But she couldn't finish what she was saying when the young man captured her lips.

Mama! Papa! I don't want to be here. Don't leave me here. I promise. I'll be a good girl. I'll do anything. Just don't give me to them." the little girl cried, chasing after a woman and a man who were leaving through the gate of a large house.

But she didn't turn to the little girl, instead she forcefully removed her child's hand from around her and pushed the little girl, causing her to fall to the grass. The little girl looked at her mother with a confused expression as tears continued to stream down her face. She didn't understand why her parents had to leave her.

"What are you doing here?" Edward asked as Abigail entered the warehouse, carrying a pillow and bedsheet with a mosquito coil and mosquito repellent lotion on top. When Edward's secretary saw what the girl was carrying, she immediately stood up to take the items from Abigail's hands."Thank you," the young woman said to the man, glancing at him briefly before turning to Edward. Her parents had agreed to let the young man spend the night, but they wouldn't let him stay in their house. Even though she knew her parents would be angry, she still went out to bring him things he would need for sleeping. Knowing Edward's circumstances, she knew he wasn't used to sleeping in such a place, and she felt ashamed because of what happened. She couldn't disobey her parents, though. She had no voice in that house. If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she might not have been able to return to that place."Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Edward asked the young woman. "I'm worried. You're not used to this pla

"Ma," Abigail whispered, standing outside the gate. The woman heard her call and stopped. When she saw the young woman outside the gate, she looked like she had seen a ghost. A sweet smile spread across her lips when she saw her mother's face. Despite her frailty and the visible wrinkles, she still saw the beauty in her mother's face, the face she had yearned for. The young woman wondered if her mother missed her as much as she had missed her. They hadn't seen each other in years.When the visitors noticed her mother stop, they looked at her.

"What are you doing here." Abigail heard a baritone voice, accompanied by something touching her shoulder. When Abigail heard that voice, she suddenly returned to the present and looked up. When she looked up, she saw Edward, and he had placed his coat on her shoulder. Did Edward see that she was outside, so he came to find her?“Is this where you plan on staying for the night?” Edward asked, looking at the woman. “It’s cold outside. Do you want to get sick? Even if you don’t care about yourself. Don’t forget you’re carrying my child. I don’t want anything to happen to her.” Edward said to Abigail"Why are you here? Why are you still awake?" the woman asked the man. "I could also ask the same thing." Edward said to the woman."The door is locked. They seem to be asleep." The young woman said. Edward looked at the house door. He doubted that they didn't hear Abigail calling them. From what he saw earlier and the way the young woman looked now, it seemed to confirm his suspicion that t

The only ones present to witness their marriage were Edward's secretary and a friend of his."Hi." Edward's friend greeted Abigail with a smile. Abigail smiled back simply and looked at him.

Wife of Akira.” She said, extending her hand and glancing at the young man talking to Edward and his secretary."Abigail," Abigail said simply. As she looked at the woman, she couldn't help but feel intimidated. There was a clear difference be

"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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Lucas, it seems this isn't the way back to Edward's condo," Abigail remarked, noticing the unfamiliar route they were taking. She thought they were heading back to the condo unit, but the scenery around them was completely new."Yes, Ma'am. Sir Edward isn't at his condo right now. He instructed me to take you to Ulrick Oasis," the driver replied, glancing at her through the rearview mirror."Ulrick Oasis?" Abigail repeated, recalling that it was one of the largest hotels owned by Ulrick Corporation. As she pondered the significance of this change in plans, the invitation letter for the anniversary celebration of Ulrick Corporation flashed in her mind.

As Abigail entered the office, she couldn't help but notice her colleagues' frantic activity. They were all busy selecting outfits, an unusual sight that puzzled her. What event were they preparing for? Were they all going somewhere together? The questions swirled in her mind as she observed them."Looks like you're the only one in this building who hasn't heard," said a familiar voice, snapping Abigail out of her thoughts. She turned abruptly to see Tiffany and James approaching. Tiffany's hand was linked to James' arm, and they looked more like a couple on a date than coworkers in an office.
