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.
Eagle’s gaze became evasive right then, but he soon composed himself. “Your mother asked me to bring it to you.” As Abigail took it, she asked, “Why are you getting nervous? I wasn’t doubting you.” “I’m not nervous, ma’am,” Eagle replied. Abigail, however, was clearly skeptical—he was clearly being antsy just now. “Are you not…
As Abigail pursed her lips, James’s eyes were red as he sat nearby, and he was not doing any better than Abigail. He was a full-grown man, but he was almost falling apart too. The two bodies that were found were just… horrible! Bzzt— His phone suddenly started to vibrate then, and he whipped it…
However, they were too high up when they jumped, so they landed separately. Since Stan landed on the border between Dunesia and Franconia, he immediately went looking for populated areas, contacting James as soon as he reached a phone. However, he never got through to Diarmuid’s phone. Even if Abigail was not sure about Diarmuid’s…
“Don’t say a thing, Finn. Just listen to my instructions: go to Brian Adams and ask him to head over to New Kent. I’ll send you the exact address later.” She had picked Brian Adams to succeed her as director of Hotmesh because she had read through his resume—he excelled in plenty of aspects, and…
She would have agreed to C-section if the child were Martin’s. As a matter of fact, she now regretted listening to Martin about keeping it. She would not be in this agony if not for the child, not to mention that she would have nothing of Martin left if he died! “Lulu…” Johnny cried anxiously.…
“Fine, I’m the greedy one, alright?” Abigail smiled. “You are greedy. You’d want a son if you had daughters instead… but that’s human greed for you. It’s endless, and humans only ever ask for more,” Lulu said, suddenly staring at the ceiling. “Abigail… I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully with…
“The baby… is Zachary’s,” Lulu said flatly. There was no emotion in her voice even as he mentioned that name. She had composure too, because she was over him. However, Abigail was assuredly surprised by the answer. Lulu’s baby was Zachary’s?! Suddenly, she realized that she should have realized that sooner. After all, Martin had…
“Is it really important?” Abigail asked. From her perspective, no matter how important it was, it would never be more important than Diarmuid’s safety. Stan quickly understood what she was insinuating, and he said solemnly, “We did misbehave in our effort to acquire Smartville.” He was being vague, since they were playing against the unspoken…
It was night, and there was no one around the office. Only the lights in the conference room were up, and they were trying to think of a plan. If they stuck to Abigail’s decision, there was no need to discuss anything. After all, what could be more important than Diarmuid? Money? They could just…
Abigail’s phone vibrated on the table just then, and she saw that the number which texted her before just sent another message with an image attached.
