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.
However, Abigail quickly noticed the man’s resemblance to Dennis and thought right then that the man was his son. Finn gave Abigail a look, hinting that they should go because Neil Turner appeared agitated. He was certainly worried that Neil would say something that upset Abigail, since she was not Dennis’s family and had no…
As she was just taking a catnap, she woke from the slightest noise. Diarmuid arched his back and took Tommy from her arms. “Sleep in the room if you want. Things get noisy in the living room.” “I’m not sleepy,” Abigail whispered—she was playing with Tommy for a while until she got drowsy. She got…
What did she take him for? He suddenly scooped Abigail up in his arms. She smacked him on the shoulder. “What are you doing?! You scared me.” That came out of the blue! Diarmuid simply carried her to bed. “I need you to distract me too.” Abigail was speechless. “Stop it,” she murmured softly. “You…
Still, he said, “I’m taking you to the hospital.” “Alright,” Abigail replied. They headed out after breakfast, only to find the two men lying outside when they opened their door! The two men’s clothes were disheveled as they lay flat on their blacks. Diarmuid was left scowling and speechless. “Why are they out here?” Abigail…
Meanwhile, Carl had someone brought in shin guards and the attendants helped Abigail put them on. Diarmuid helped her on the horse and instructed her since it was the first time, “Keep a firm hold on the reins and don’t go too fast. Always keep your hands firmly around the horse’s belly.” Diarmuid got on…
However, just as they reached their car, Johnny appeared out of nowhere and ambushed Martin. “That was you in there, right, cap?” Martin raised a brow. “Where did you come out from?” “I thought I saw you after I got a bookshelf. You ignored me when I called you, and I thought I had the…
If Ray got too sentimental and tried to save all the poor, how many of them could he really save? Or would he die from the regret of not saving everyone first? “You were being reckless,” Ray said. “I hope you won’t do it again if you encounter something like this again. You would think…
After all, the man was really intimidating and Neil did not dare to mess around. For Abigail’s part, she had actually forgotten that Neil told her about that. “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we sit down and have a calm discussion?” Neil wanted to refuse. “No—” “I think you should,” Eagle said…
As she waited, she took a sip of her coffee. After a while, James returned with a man in suit and glasses. Although corporate defense was not his job description and Abigail’s query was not his forte, he was still a member of the excellent legal defense team Diarmuid put together. One could imagine how…
Abigail was speechless. Clearing her throat, she said, “I’ll resign.” She simply had to resolve the trouble at hand first. Diarmuid held her hand, his thumb gently brushing over the back of her hand as he said quietly, “He wants me to spare Ian Althoff, but I refused. The agitation caused a heart attack, and…
