Abigail shook her head. “Actually, no-I just happened to have some party drugs in my bag. If we’re doing it anyway, why don’t we make things more exciting?”
Harvey actually paused this time. It would make sense if Abigail kept resisting, although the fact that she was playing along and trying to make things more exciting was actually surprising. “For real?” he asked, half-suspicious. “You’ve tied me up like this. What else can I do?” Abigail did her best to appear relaxed, even eager. Harvey stared at her for a few seconds, but curiosity eventually got the better of him and he picked up her handbag. There really were pills in there, and Harvey held it up to find the label ‘Viagra.’ Abigail grinned. “I wasn’t lying.” However, Harvey frowned. “Why would you carry that around with you?” After all, Abigail gave the impression of being a virtuous maiden… But perhaps she really had another side to her personality… A more indulgent side! “What, did you think that I’m Joan of Arc? I was just playing hard to get with you… What are you waiting for? Take the pill already, and let’s get started!” Abigail’s lips curled into a smile, which only magnified her beauty. Harvey held her gaze for a while, his juices flowing. He took one, when Abigail said, “How about another?” “You’re wild, aren’t you?” Harvey smiled mischievously, and did as he was told anyway, washing the pills down with wine. There was a cold glint in Abigail’s eyes just then, but she kept smiling as she watched Harvey, while counting down in her mind. “Hold on, this is a little strong. I’m actually feeling faint…” Harvey said, planting himself on the bed even his whole body felt like it was turning soft.
Soon, he realized that something was not right.
He should be feeling stronger and spirited if he took an aphrodisiac, whereas these pills left him feeling like he had turned to jelly!
“This isn’t an aphrodisiac!” he exclaimed with a furious glare at Abigail. “What were those pills?!”
“What was it you said?” Abigail replied icily. “Fool me twice? But you just got tricked again.”
Harvey wanted nothing less than to cut her into pieces and feed her to the dogs right
then! “I will remember this-” he growled, but fainted even before he could finish.
Abigail made sure that he was out before reaching for her bag to get her phone.
The pills were actually sedatives that she had prepared for that social call with Mark Wickers, Worried that Mark’s potential investors would go too far, she prepared those pills while keeping them in Viagra packaging. It was a feint, and anyone who saw it was unlikely to think that it was sedatives.
Later, it turned out that Mark’s potential investor was Diarmuid, so the pills stayed unused.
It was certainly fortunate that she had kept it in her bag, or she might not have been safe this time.
Having retrieved her phone, she quickly called Zachary, but that was when she heard a ruckus outside the door.
There were multiple footsteps, the crash of objects smashed into pieces, and screams of pain, just before the door was kicked open!
She looked up, and found herself staring at Diarmuid’s wrathful visage.
The air around him seemed to turn cold as he stood beneath the lights, which magnified his shadow and menacing presence.
Still, Abigail was delighted to see him just then, as if she had managed to reach the last straw that promised salvation. “Why are you here?”
Diarmuid said nothing as he strode toward her and untied her.
In reality, he presumed that she must be having a tryst with other men since he did not go home, but after a quick search, he found out that Harvey had abducted her.
Naturally, he had to pull many strings to reach this place, but his only concern was that he was too late, and Harvey somehow managed to get what he wanted.
Still, he soon found the pill box on the table and the label on it, which left his expression turning darker.
“It’s a sedative,” Abigail quickly explained to avoid a misunderstanding. “That’s what knocked him out.”
“You did this?” Diarmuid asked.
Abigail nodded, and he lifted a brow–just stopping short of telling her ‘good job.’
He had a different opinion of her now… She had actually managed to knock out an assailant while being tied up, but that was a doctor for you. They had no shortage of Tricks!
He checked her thoroughly then, and while her clothes were tidy and did not appear to have been assaulted at all, he remained utterly furious,
He barked at Stan and his men to tie up Harvey, and they quickly did so.
At the same time, he asked Abigail, “Do you want to watch, or wait outside?”
Abigail could tell what he was going to do to Harvey, but decided that he was not interested in the scene of violence.
“I’m going out,” she said, and turned to leave.
However, she was walking very slowly and keeping a hand over her belly-which had been hurting a little.
Being a doctor herself, Abigail knew the signs of a miscarriage. Her face turned pale, and Diarmuid noticed that something was wrong with her. “Are you hurt?” he asked.
Abigail worked hard to make herself look strong while shaking her head. “No, I’m not.”
However, the instant she stepped out of the room, her face contorted in pain. Whitney would have hell to pay if her twins could not be saved! She trudged along through the living room area, and noticed that there were many men laying around, unconscious. She recognized them as Harvey’s bodyguards, but remained indifferent as she got out of the house and reached the car–screams echoed from the mansion just as she was just about to close the door.
It was Harvey, and each scream was more horrific than the last. What could Diarmuid be doing? Still, Abigail did not have the time to think. She quickly lay down to rest, afraid of moving too much!
Meanwhile, Harvey’s scream lasted for an hour before Diarmuid finally stepped out and entered the driver’s seat-Stan was still in the mansion.
Abigail thought to herself then that she simply could not tell what Diarmuid was thinking.
He gave her off to Harvey in the first place, did he not? Why was he upset now? Hesitating for a while, curiosity got the better of her and she asked, “Why are you
upset?”
Diarmuid felt his heart clenching.
After all, he almost lost his mind when he found out that Harvey took her away, and was so afraid that something would happen to her!
His fear and anxiety right then almost overwhelmed him!
Be that as it may, he would never say-no, he would never allow him to say something like ‘I was worried about you.’
Instead, he said, “Even if you’re my wife only in name, you’re still my wise. Like I said, it disgusts me if someone defiles you.”
Abigail pursed her lips in self-deprecation.
For some reason, she thought for a moment that Diarmuid was upset because he liked her.
In the end, she was imagining things-why would he be interested in her?
