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 sat down and told him, ‘Let’s be serious, Zachary.” Zachary sat opposite her in turn, his eyes fixed on her. “I was being serious.” “Then tell me. Are you visiting Lulu to see her baby or were you just lying to me?” Abigail asked, looking him in the eye. Zachary did a double take,…
“So what was the point of all that?!” Zachary snapped. “What do you think?” Abigail asked him in return. “I think it’s pointless,” he replied. Abigail heaved a long sigh and said, ‘ Me too. I mean, if a person likes you, that’s basically love, right? Can a person love you without liking you? That’s…
But now, things were fine between Lulu and Martin, and everyone around them believed the child was theirs. What would others think if Zachary took Jean away, and how would they treat Martin or Lulu? The hearts of people are not that easily read, after all. “Yeah…” she nonetheless, and asked, “How’s Lulu doing lately?”…
There was a blood tie that bound mother and daughter now, and there was no way it could be severed at the drop of a hand. Even Martin himself would have trouble letting Jean go-having that tiny person around him already made his life more colorful. Zachary would certainly like to take his baby away,…
Martin smiled, looking blissful but saying, “What’s there to be jealous about? M “Showing off, are you?” Zachary snorted, and handed him a shot glass.” This is your punishment.” It was cheap vodka which cost less than twenty dollars, but Martin was sporting enough to chug his shot. But while he did, Zachary noticed the…
Martin’s fingers clenched on his warm towel as he looked at her, “Sorry…” Lulu said nothing-she grabbed her clothes and threw them over herself as she strode to the washroom. She examined her body and actually found swelling-she was left in disbelief that Martin would treat her like this. She took a shower, and when…
Still, knowing that he was doing this for her sake anyway, she had to give in. “I know.” With that, Diarmuid left Franconia on the same day, and Abigail stared at his departing plane blankly. Everyone seemed to be running around, busy with one thing after another. When would they have peace? She frowned, her…
Lulu was silent, but he had a point-she just might take offense in that! But even if she understood that, she refused to let that happen a second time. It did not just hurt her physically. It broke her heart. “It won’t ever happen again-ever,” Martin said, burying his face in her hair as he…
Erin was speechless-there was really something wrong with him! She had added certain herbs while she cooked it to help with James’ recovery. She had tasted it herself, and it was definitely bitter. “You need to get your tongue checked,” Erin told him. Zachary looked up at her then. “Come, sit. Let’s have a chat.”…
Abigail happened to return then while holding Tommy’s hand. Seeing Zachary, she asked, “Where are you going?” “Back to his kennel, since there’s no place for him elsewhere,” James replied. Abigail entered the house then and sat down. “You boys really can’t stop horsing around. So, what is it this time?” Tommy lay sprawled over…
