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.
“Jim-” She was going to call for Jimmy, when someone clasped something over her mouth. Turning around, she saw that it was Ricky, and her eyes widened in shock. “What are you. doing, Ricky?!” “I don’t want to hurt you, sis-you’re my only family left after my mom died…” “But I cannot forgive Diarmuid.” His…
Abigail tried to reason with Ricky, convinced that someone was using him in his grieving state, since it was his mother they were talking about! However, while Ricky could not refute Abigail’s words, he shook his head. “It has to be Diarmuid.” Abigail was left fuming. How could he be so stubborn? Still, she kept…
Ricky nodded. “By the way, do you know who texted you? Have you met them?” Abigail asked just then, intent on finding. out who put the whole plan together. If Ricky really believed that Diarmuid killed Samantha and did not use a dud bomb, the consequences would be unimaginable. “I have. She-” “This isn’t the…
Both Stan and Abigail were speechless, though the former was soon throwing up his hands in surrender. One must never poke their nose into their boss’s private affairs, it seems. Chuckling fawningly, he said, “Actually, I’m quite busy.” On the other hand, Abigail was utterly confused as to why Diarmuid suddenly turned his crosshairs on…
“Okay,” the nurse said, did as she was told and left. She was traumatized by Diarmuid’s glare-even if he was really good-looking, she was too afraid to let her stare linger! Later, both Diarmuid and Abigail arrived at Ricky’s ward, where Sheryl was helping him drink. Ricky greeted Abigail the instant she saw her, and…
Abigail smiled as she gave him a gentle shove. “Not afraid to be seen again?” “Let them see,” Diarmuid growled. Looking at him tenderly, Abigail leaned in to kiss his forehead. “You’re hurt, so get some rest. I’ll be right. back after checking on Tommy.” “Okay,” he said softly. Abigail headed out and returned to…
“Why?” he asked. “I shouldn’t laugh at you.” He then leaned in to bite her on her lips. Ouch! Abigail gasped from pain, because he was really biting down on her. “I’ll punish you in bed next time,” he whispered into her ear. Abigail blushed right then. Honestly, this man! As they dilly-dallied, it took…
Was she hiding something from him? “What is it, Abigail?” he asked, his throat feeling a little parched just then. Abigail said, “About the grave-” “The grave? What about it?” Ricky interrupted before she could finish. Abigail really wanted to roll her eyes at him just then. “Could you let me finish?” “Oh!” Ricky exclaimed…
However, it was likely she felt this way because she cared about him, and it was natural that doctors never operate on family members. They would let their colleagues do it instead, because nerves might get to them and cause them to make mistakes. “Lie down,” she said. Diarmuid hence lay on his stomach over…
With that, Debbie was once against lowering her gaze, afraid to meet Abigail’s eyes. “There’s a reason I don’t want to leave the country.” “Do tell,” Abigail said as she took a sip of the tea. In reality, Debbie was bright and outstanding, but she seemed to lose her glow in Abigail’s presence. Anyone would…
