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.
“What do you think?” Ian retorted. “I dumped you because I was hoping Diarmuid and his people wouldn’t come after you. Guess I was still too late, but no matter. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can tell you that Abigail Bernstein was using you to find her baby.” “You took…
Abigail felt the ominous intent, and had to suppress her terror right then. “What are you doing?” “Paying you back for the slap,” Ian said darkly, and turned toward his crew. “You can have her, boys–that’s a pretty face if I ever saw one. Show her some proper love now, because you’re having the honor…
Suddenly, sirens could be heard blaring! As the sirens approached, the gamblers who had been entranced heard it and ran out of the containers, and swarmed toward Ian when they saw him. “Why are the coast guard coming?” they demanded. They knew that they were involved in a crime, and they were naturally worried about…
Tommy finally stopped crying as he finally had his preferred brand of formula milk. However, his eyes and cheeks had turned red and puffy from all the crying, and he was still sobbing a little. Having been starved for too long, he wolfed the milk he had desperately craved for and ended up drinking too…
Diarmuid said nothing, but he was brushing his fingers over her hair. There was only warmth in his heart when he held her, and he felt like he was actually standing on solid ground. “I’m so thankful you were the one that night,” he suddenly said softly. Abigail, however, stiffened. This was the first time…
Abigail wanted to bellow at him, but instead turned to leave. Diarmuid caught her by her wrist and said, “I’m not angry. I’m grateful for everything you and your mother have done.” As Abigail turned towards him, Diarmuid tugged at her and said, “Come to my office. Stan might be done by now.” Abigail was…
Noticing that he was upset, Abigail asked tentatively, What’s wrong? Are you upset?” Diarmuid didn’t answer, and instead pulled her to himself so that she was leaning completely against him! With just the fabric of their clothing between them, Abigail actually felt his scalding warmth. Suddenly feeling a dryness in her throat, she couldn’t help…
“Can’t you see his attitude–how he spoke to me?” Henry snorted, clearly disgruntled with Diarmuid but not at all aware of his mistakes. It was understandable if he wanted someone competent helming Sky Group and wanted to give Ian a chance since he was his grandson, but he shouldn’t have abandoned Diarmuid’s child. Moneypenny asked,…
Sheryl, however, already understood–she had seen how the two were behaving in the morning. Now, they had returned home together. Rolling her eyes at Abigail, she said, “No, we just have to talk here.” Abigail felt uneasy. Sheryl seemed to be unhappy with Diarmuid… She wouldn’t say something out of line, would she? “Tommy’s a…
There weren’t many scenic spots nearby, so they drove to a nearby lake. As they alighted from the car, Abigail linked arms with Diarmuid and they walked over the cobblestone path near the lake. The vegetation there was lush, and there was a cool breeze blowing at them from time to time despite the scorching…
