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.
James sighed-he was not supposed to go full hands-off with the man, especially when Zachary had worked as a doctor for most of his career. Zachary was still too much of a novice in both business and relationships. They were close enough to call each other friends, and no matter how dumb Zachary could be,…
Moreover, he was just here for the diamonds, and since they needed Debbie to hold the fort, he did not press the issue in spite of his doubts. ‘I get it. Ladies always go for the sparkly stuff,” he assured her. “I might be leaving today. Again, call me if anything happens here.” “Don’t worry,…
As such, he asked worriedly, “I just saw him hours ago. How did that happen?” “I don’t know-I’m abroad right now, but I’m worried. Check on him for me, will you? Call me right away if something’s up.” “Okay,” Zachary replied, pausing before asking, “I heard that Abigail is in trouble too. Is she going…
[You can ignore what I say. I’ll tell Diarmuid Althoff everything right now.] [Stop.] Debbie replied instantly, as if the sender would call Diarmuid if she were a second to slow. There was no way she would let Diarmuid find out about James, or she would never be allowed to stay with him-and that would…
Debbie panicked right then and dropped her phone, its screen shattering with a loud crack! Ember glanced at her, but while she felt that Debbie was obviously acting suspicious, Zachary thought that Debbie was just thrilled. “Don’t worry. James is safe now.” Debbie kept her head down to hide her reaction. “I’m just so happy…”…
“I’m counting on you,” she replied. “It’s what I should do,” Zachary said. “We’re close friends.” “Yeah. I’ll be going now-I have other work to do,” With that, Debbie turned, clearly reluctant to stay a moment longer. However, she barely moved a step when she heard Ember speaking behind her! Ember had a look of…
Over at Duran, Diarmuid met Auric at a 7-star hotel. The venue was grand beyond description, and the furnishings within were just as extravagant. Crystals, velour, red velvet, and gold were everywhere, and the very air seemed to smell of money and the local anesthetic. Anyone who did not know better would believe that they…
Mick then checked his watch and got to his feet. “Time to go.” “Go? Go where?” Stephen asked, but he was already following Mick. “Diarmuid’s flight will arrive at six. Let’s go get him* Mick told him. Stephen glanced sideways at Mick just then. “I thought Diarmuid and you could not exist within the same…
Her lips twitched even as she stared at the food, and one of the men held the food just beside her lips. “Why push yourself so hard? You can have it right now.” Abigail’s lips curled up-she was having double vision now. But her lips curled up. No one really suffered from hunger in this…
Abigail said, ‘ You weren’t there when Tommy was born… Did you miss out again?” Diarmuid crumbled right then! Diarmuid leaned in and gathered Abigail tightly in his arms. “Let’s go home when you’re better, Abigail. Tommy is waiting.” Abigail was taken aback even as an ominous feeling seized her. ‘Why are you being evasive?” she rasped. “Diarmuid simply could not…
