All Chapters of LOCKED IN WITH THE BILLIONAIRE : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Abigail's POV***"If you had bothered to ask me about what happened five years ago then maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation today" I said with tears in my eyes, wiping them away with a napkin that was placed on the table neatly."I'm sorry, I failed as a father."Suddenly, tears brimmed in my eyes, overflowing and flowing down my cheeks. In a desperate attempt to hide my vulnerability, I brought my palms up to cover my face, my shoulders curling inward as if to shield myself from the world. I didn't want him to think that I was his pathetic daughter.Finally finding the courage, I said, "Henry was the man I slept with five years ago." The words flowed out of me, a rush of relief washing over me as years of secrecy were lifted from my shoulders. My father’s eyes were also damp with tears as he responded, "I'm so sorry, Abigail. I failed you." His voice shook as he spoke, causing his shoulders to sag in defeat. Indeed men do cry, I tried to tell myself that it wasn't his fa

Third POV***"I'm deeply sorry for the delay," Henry stated regretfully as he took his seat, acknowledging the inconvenience he had caused. "I was caught up in an urgent phone call that required my immediate response." He said upon noticing their mixed expressions.To be honest, the only reason why he had faked a call was to get Abigail and her father to discuss some private matters. He contended with the dilemma of not wanting to disrupt the conversation with her father due to his presence. In a moment of necessity, he had racked his brain for a solution, ultimately resorting to the only tactic that presented itself, and that was fabricating a phone call."It must be a very long call then" Abigail felt her heart melt, she wanted to hug him and tell him how much she loved him but she stopped herself from doing so.Even without him telling her, she knew that he had left only because he wanted to give them some privacy."Thank you, Henry," Mr. Williams remarked with a gracious smile.

Third POV***"Why is he following the same path?"Abigail couldn't help but wonder about the purpose behind his decision to walk the same path as hers. In an attempt to detect his intentions, she gently slowed down her steps, curious to see if he would adjust his pace to match hers. To her amazement, he indeed followed suit, graciously matching her stride.It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the peculiar man was following her every step. What were his motives? His presence felt like an invasion of her personal space.As they moved down the hallway, rooms and offices were on both sides, but the guy didn’t even glance at any of them. He was focused on walking straight ahead, following her like a bloodhound on a scent.She toyed with the idea of calling the dude out, but she just couldn’t make up her mind. It was like a tug of war going on inside her head, one side saying to just get it over with and the other side telling her to think it through.She walked faster, her heart rac

Third POV***Abigail closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried her best not to look at the words on the paper when she opened them again, but they were still there, staring back at her.Her voice trembled as she spoke. "Father... are you saying you want me to take over Zeng Company? To be the one in charge?" Her eyes searched her father's face for any sign that this might be a misunderstanding, but his serious expression confirmed that she'd heard him correctly. "Yes it is yours to keep. Your mother contributed to the success of this company before she died. It has been yours since the beginning. We wanted to give this to you, that was the original plan. We saved enough money for our baby girl. I should have told you earlier." Mr Williams said with a convincing smile, hoping she would believe him.Many years ago, before the death of Abigail's mother, they had both saved a little amount of money. For years, they never stopped saving, it was just unfortunate that her mother ne

Third POV***The soft beep of the door unlocking drew their attention as it slid open, giving them a view of the room. Seated at the center, a man occupied a chair with his back facing them.As Abigail and Hercules entered the room with an air of confidence, the man inside seemed not to notice them. He was sitting with his jaw resting on his hands, his brow furrowed and eyes fixated on the desk in front of him. Taking the initiative, Abigail broke the silence as she confidently proceeded toward the unoccupied chair opposite Ethan. With a sense of authority, she pulled the chair back and gracefully took a seat.Abigail's voice was filled with sarcasm as she spoke to Ethan. "Mr. Ethan Brundeen, it's so nice to see you again," she said, her tone making it clear that she didn't mean what she said and that she had a strong dislike for him.At the sound of Abigail's voice, Ethan turned his head to look up, visibly surprised by her presence. His expression was one of utter bewilderment, hi
