Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.
One way or another, Harvey’s plan–which he spent so much time, money and effort to put together–had now fallen apart. He was seething, but he had no choice but to exchange hostages with Henry! He drove to the location where he had hidden Tommy! Harvey had kept Abigail’s child at a nursery to avoid attention.…
He was old, and was naturally hopeful to have ankle-biters around him. “Do we do a paternity test?” Moneypenny asked just then–the resemblance to Diarmuid was striking, and could basically be confirmed from looking. “Let’s do it to avoid any mistakes,” Henry replied. “I will make the arrangements.” Moneypenny said. Henry nodded. Henry headed to…
She must see Tommy safe, or she would die! “I hate you! I’ll kill you right now, but I can’t let my child become a murderer’s child, or let people tell him that his mother killed his father!” Diarmuid’s heart skipped a beat, before suddenly pounding with excitement with the surprise. Even as his spirits…
With that, Diarmuid and his people rushed back to Cloud City as quickly as they left. The two cities were relatively close, but the traveling still cost them considerable time. Diarmuid headed straight to Althoff Manor once they reached Cloud City. His clothes were wrinkled because he did not have time to change, but it…
“Abigail Bernstein” Diarmuid snapped severely-she was getting increasingly hystericall However, she was not about to give in either “What, upset that I’m right about you?” Closing his eyes to calm himself, Diarmuid said, “No. The truth is, Tommy is missing–I didn’t want to tell you because I know you’d worry But I guess I shouldn’t…
Right after Diarmuid said that, he added, “Not for Tommy–but for me, and only me.” He was referring to the bond between them. “Okay,” Abigail murmured softly, leaning downward to wrap her arms around his neck from behind, and nestled her cheek against his. She loved him, after all–she could get upset if he messed…
Was he saying that he loved her? He had said as much before as well… Shaking her head to clear her mind, she decided that her priority was to save Tommy. Suddenly feeling inspired, she said, “lan’s family knows me, but not this woman, so I could still approach her. I just have to avoid…
With that, she headed for the nearest stairs. Abigail pretended to leave, but tiptoed behind Robin toward the stairs as well. Robin was heading downstairs as she spoke over the phone, and eventually reached the back door, where she found lan waiting by a flower patio. Abigail hid behind the door and watched them–it was…
“Would you like my help?” Abigail asked. Robin stared at her for a moment. “We’re not that close…” “We can be friends if you don’t mind. But if you feel-” “Of course!” Robin exclaimed, cutting her short. Right now, she needed a pillar of guidance, especially from someone like Abigail who had experienced breakups “By…
Abigail frowned. “That’s a lot of containers…” She thought a couple would be enough, but there must be over twenty on that ship! The crew, under the impression that Abigail was a hick, started to brag proudly, “She could take over 300 people, or 400 if needed. It’s a slow day, though, so it’s just…
