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.
The woman pretended not to hear him and urged, ’Eat before the food gets cold.” Diarmuid frowned as she was clearly avoiding the subject. He asked, “May I know why you’re keeping me here?” “I don’t understand what you’re saying,” the woman said and turned to leave. The furrow over Diarmuid’s brow only deepened. Marie…
Abigail was just about to leave when Eagle stopped her. “Ma’am?” Abigail turned around. “Yes?” “Pierre was just here, but I told him not to wake you,” Eagle told her. “The tutors are here.” “Okay,” Abigail said and started to carry Tommy to the living room. However, Tommy had gotten too heavy, so she had…
At the same time, Stan was occasionally glancing at the both of them from the rearview mirror. Even if there were occasions when James taunted him for being single, he could already see, as a bystander, just how painful a relationship could get. That was why he believed that being single was much better. Why…
Knowing that, he must not push Thomas too far-his first step was to build a connection of trust with Thomas. And since it was obvious now that Thomas was willing to trust him, he already achieved the best outcome possible. “I’ll get you out of here tomorrow,” Thomas told Diarmuid then. Even if he decided…
He was at a disadvantage with his blindness, and now was not the time for wisecracks. “Anyway, you broke our rules, Thomas. And that means you die.” The two thugs started to stride toward them, and Thomas was backing away while explaining, “Look, it’s a misunderstanding. He’s blind, see? He saw nothing, and he wont…
Stan actually felt his own body lurch backward from the violent inertia! Glancing at the speedometer, he told Zachary, “See? That’s why this car drinks so much fuel. It doesn’t feel that fast even at that speed, see?” “Shut up,” Zachary growled. “Don’t bother me while I’m driving.” Stan quickly turned silent, since it was…
As the rear windshield shattered, Diarmuid grabbed Abigail and dropped beneath their seats, while Stan held on to the wheel and jammed his foot further down the gas pedal! Fortunately, the pursuers did not bring their car, and they gave up soon after they realized they could not catch up. And around half an hour…
“You should be happy,” Abigail teased him. “I wouldn’t help you bathe if you were fine.” Diarmuid did not say a thing, but as she undid his belt, he wrapped a hand around her waist, pulling her dainty form into his arms. “Did you miss me?” he asked. Abigail said solemnly, “Yes, I missed you…
Zachary’s phone started to vibrate in his pocket, and he answered it when he saw that it was Stan’s number. However, it was James who spoke from the other end. “Where are you right now?” “At this restaurant called Aalla! We’re inside without a way out!’ Zachary replied. “Stan is with me. I’ll try to…
There was a hair-raising sound as the blade cut into Abigail’s flesh. She felt a sharp pain right then that seemed to strike her very core, causing her fingers to clench! Abigail grunted dully in pain, her fingernails almost digging into Diarmuid’s arm right then! “Umph!” Diarmuid knew that she was hurting a lot, but…
