If you disturb me again, then I will go from here too," Abigail's words echo in my mind, haunting me as I search for her in the dark and desolate place she's left me in."Abby, Abby, please don't leave me," I call out, desperation lacing my voice. But she's nowhere to be found, and panic sets in. My heart races, and I feel as though I'm falling into an abyss with no end in sight.I collapse onto the floor, the pain of the fall jolting me awake. Reality washes over me like a cold shower. I'm not in a dark place, and Abigail hasn't gone anywhere. I'm still in my office, sitting in my chair."Ouch," I mutter as I slowly push myself up. I can't even move without groaning, let alone help the situation that's tearing me apart.It was just a dream, but the fear and heartache it brought felt all too real.

Tuberose 181. The anger is melting
Michael's POV -The early morning light filters into the cafe as I begin my weekend routine, sweeping the floor and tidying up. My heart flutters with hopeful anticipation, and I steal glances at Abby's home, yearning for even a glimpse of her. But the familiar emptiness remains a void that's persisted for two long years. In all that time, she hasn't uttered a single word to me.2 years ago, It was my dad who eventually managed to convince her to let me work in the cafe again. He called her, pleading on my behalf, and somehow, she relented. It was a glimmer of hope, a chance to be near her again, even if it meant just being in the same space.As I go about my morning tasks, a lady enters the cafe, her presence a rare sight in these early hours. I greet her with a warm smile, knowing that today it's just the two of us working here."Hello, ma'am. What can I get you?" I ask politely, ready to jot down her order."One espresso with chocolate fudge, please," she replies, her own smile mirr

**mature content**William's POV -The day we had been eagerly awaiting has arrived. It's our wedding day, and as I stand here, locking my gaze on Ema, I can't help but ask the question that has lingered in my mind for so long."It's our wedding day. I will ask you again, are you really sure about me?" I hold her hands against my chest, my eyes searching hers for any hint of doubt.Ema's eyes, darker and more intense than ever, meet mine with unwavering certainty. "I am so damn sure, Will. How many times do I need to tell you? But you know the condition."I chuckle, a smirk playing on my lips. "Yeah, all my sexual desires for others have to be suppressed. And Lily will be your personal assistant from now on."Ema bursts into laughter, her joy infectious. "I love you. Thanks for your support and love so far. Thanks for the love I was craving for. I realize only one thing after realizing my feelings for you that I never loved Michael. He was my passion and infatuation, especially when A
Tuberose 183. Can't rely again...
Michael's POV -"Could you gather enough proof? I can't let this go." I ask my private detective."Yes, Mr. Pattinson. I am mailing you. Please check once and if you are satisfied then we will take our further move." He replies and I nod.I hang up and hear the sound of a knock on the door. "May I come in?" Abby's voice. I close my eyes with serenity and turn to her immediately."Of course, it's your house, Abby." I can't explain how happy I am right now."Well, I need to have a discussion with you. If you are free then let's talk in the living room." She wants to talk to me. That's what I was yearning for."Sure, I am coming. Just one minute." I started buttoning my shirt as I couldn't complete it due to the call. I will check my mail later. Now, it's the most important moment."I am waiting." She leaves with her neutral face. I rush behind her by keeping the top three buttons open.She is sitting on the sofa. I get closer and stand there. "Sit down, please." She is playing with her
Tuberose 184. Dark Determination
***mature content*** Michael's POV - I've just returned, and the clock shows midnight on the dot. Abby hasn't met me since our last conversation. I had to come back because it's Sunday night, but I can't wait any longer. It's time to take action. Tomorrow morning, the police will arrest Ema. Two years ago, she was the one who intentionally hit Abby with her car. I can't let her get away with this. I could've lost my love forever because of her. I reviewed all the evidence one more time: the CCTV footage, the car's license plate, and the proof of her ownership. I also have copies of her psychological treatment records from those days. I called my lawyer and instructed them to expedite the process and have her arrested by morning. Enough of William and Ema's honeymoon; it's time for them to face reality. I gaze at Abby's picture on the wall of our bedroom, my heart heavy with longing. I gently touch her image. "I won't allow anyone else to harm you anymore, not even myself. I love yo
Tuberose 185. Fear of losing him
Michael's POV - I wanted to punish Ema for her deeds but it's not possible if Abby doesn't want it. So, I preferred to skip it. I am heading home. The day has been long and tiresome, a relentless cycle of work and responsibilities. As I finally step out of my car and into the dimly lit evening, I clutch a bunch of tuberoses in my hand – a daily ritual, a way to keep Abigail's memory alive, and her fragrance close. It's the closest I can get to her these days. But just as I open my car door, a searing, unbearable pain shoots through my left shoulder blade, cutting through me like a bolt of lightning. The pain is so intense that I freeze, unable to move or even turn my head. Darkness crowds at the edges of my vision, and I find myself gasping for breath. "Abby..." I manage to whisper, her name escaping my lips like a desperate plea. In that agonizing moment, I wondered if this was it – if I was finally meeting my end. It's a bittersweet thought because if I am to die, I want it to be
