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.
“I’ll stay here and take good care of Miss Adams/ Eagle assured Abigail. You have nothing to worry about.” Abigail was certainly assured with Eagle around. Meanwhile, she still had not called Diarmuid as she was heading home to surprise him. It was daytime when she arrived at Franconia due to the time difference, and…
“He’s giving you the cold shoulder, huh?” Zachary asked gleefully. Abigail started daggers at him right then. “That pleases you, huh?” “Should I be honest?” Zachary asked. “Of course,” Abigail almost rolled her eyes at him. Was she telling him to lie? “What, hadn’t you heard? James Cross is brazenly flaunting his sweet marriage in…
Zachary casually asked her then, “Who were you seeing back in Zidonia?” Abigail became wary right then-and here she was curious why he kept making herdrink. So he was trying to loosen her tongue! “It’s just work,” she snapped. “Or do I have to report that to you as well?” “I’m just asking…” Zachary quickly…
“I’ll be back in the evening.” He grinned. Abigail ignored him and told Pierre, “Yes, I’ll have breakfast.” She did not know Diarmuid was going to work, but he would need food either way if he was to work. “Yes, ma’am,” Pierre replied, and headed to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Abigail strolled out into the courtyard,…
Abigail laughed coolly. “You’re affecting my mood by following me around. Or should I thank you for that?” “By the way, why are you alone? Where’s Diarmuid? I mean, is he really working now that you’re back? Really, I wonder what’s more important to him— money or love?” Zachary tried to provoke her just then.…
Diarmuid loosened his necktie and threw it nonchalantly on the desk. “What are you doing here?” Abigail eagerly strode forward and wrapped her arms around his waist. “I just wanted to see you. Am I not allowed to do so?” Diarmuid gently lifted her chin. “Is that all you really want?” Why did he have…
Diarmuid smiled and physically proved that he was not-they ended up doing it by the door, and then on the couch before moving to the desk. She thought she could lose her mind in the ecstasy! There was calm after the storm, and as she lay in his arms, her hair was disheveled and her…
Shooting her a look, Diarmuid smiled-despite all the flirting and playfulness she cared about appearances in public. Still, he took her hand. “Don’t keep your distance. We’re legally married.” Abigail lowered her head and murmured softly, “Yeah.” As she became docile, they waited at the airport lounge until it was time for her to board…
“Then…” “I’ve actually been doing some thinking while I’m lying here, om specifically on how to stay by Jean’s side Lulu added and looked up at Abigail. “Now, I have an idea.” The content is on Abigail got it too-after changing her face, Lulu could stay with Jean as another person without Zachary recognizing her!…
“Nah,” Abigail said, shaking her head-her body was not in a good condition, and two sons were plenty. “But you need another daughter,” Erin reasoned. “My brother would love to have one.” “He can have one himself if he wants,” Abigail joked. As they laughed, Diarmuid and James arrived, and Erin rose to her feet.…
