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.
Abigail was scowling further after he did-Diarmuid would save her just to save face? “You’re wrong. He won’t do anything so impractical when he has so little to gain. You really should give up already.” lan suddenly chuckled. “Why don’t we make a bet?” “What?” Abigail stared at him warily. lan said, “Let’s bet if…
She had lost all hope when Diarmuid said that he was only being nice to her because of Tommy. Still, she did not want him to be coerced by lan because of herself, and decided to do one last thing for him. After all, he was the only man she had ever loved! Seeing that…
James certainly understood and agreed, or Diarmuid would never leave this room. “I’ll try my best,” he told Stephen. Stephen lowered his gaze. “Sorry for all the trouble.” James actually thought that this was what he was supposed to do anyway… How was it any trouble? Meanwhile, Diarmuid was standing alone in front of the…
James opened the doors gingerly, but stayed at the doorway. “Mr. Althoff…?” “Find a place where I can keep her–the surroundings must be ideal. Build it if there isn’t such a place.” James did another double take. What was that supposed to mean? Was Diarmuid saying that they would preserve Abigail’s body? Would it not…
But none of that mattered now, since it was all in the past. She slowly lay down again and closed her eyes. James was not at all knowledgeable about anything in the country since he had been working abroad for years. Naturally, he had to ask Stan for help to find a place which satisfied…
Ricky tried to free himself from Stan, but the other man kept a vice-like grip on his hand to stop him from running. Even so, Ricky protested. “No. I’d never agree to that–there’s no way I can do it anyway. Just let me go!” Stan told him as politely as he could, “You’re the best…
Zachary shook his head. “I’m fine.” “Then why the long face?” Ember pointed out, and went up to pull him along to the bed. “Here, sit. Let me give you a massage. ” Zachary did so, and she knelt behind him to massage his shoulders. “I should learn this properly next time, so that I…
With Mick brought overseas to recover and Abigail herself abroad too, it was time he took responsibility. Breathing a deep sigh, he said, ‘Til tell you everything ” Still, he did not know where to start, and paused for a moment to put together the right words. “It all began over ten years ago, when…
While Mick survived a car crash, he was injured considerably. It was only thanks to the advancement of medical technology that he made a full recovery. Even so, Yvaine’s death still hit him badly-he looked much older now, and the tip of his hair was turning white, as if he aged a decade in an…
Abigail nodded-such auctions were a pastime for the wealthy. They happened to arrive at the auction center just then, and they saw the many luxury cars parked outside. Abigail was almost able to recognize most, since many of them were limited editions which Diarmuid owned as well. He never drove them much, however, but it…
