Abigail

Liam was practically bouncing on his feet, his eyes bright with excitement. I tried to return the energy, but I was thrown off by the sudden announcement. The best I could manage was a blink. “What?”

“I know, right? I still can’t believe it!”

A rush of warmth filled my chest at his happiness. Liam had always dreamed of going to university, but our financial situation had made it difficult. He had been looking into scholarships in the past, but I knew he was worried about the competition and whether he would qualify for enough aid. My first thought was that maybe he had applied for yet a grant or scholarship without telling me. Maybe he hadn’t been confident about getting it and wanted to keep it a secret until it was confirmed.

“You applied for something?” I asked, trying to keep up.

Liam shook his head, still grinning. “Nope! Didn’t have to.”

That made me pause. If he hadn’t applied for anything, then where was this coming from?

“Wait.”

  • Abandoned by Ex, Married to His CEO Brother   Chapter 242

    AlexanderI didn’t quite know what to call the feeling twisting itself into knots inside my chest. It wasn’t anger, at least not the kind I was familiar with. Anger was clean and swift. Anger was easy to recognize, easier to squash. This… this was murkier and slow burning. It was, to be frank, ugly. My shirt collar suddenly felt too tight, the fabric stiff like rope as I tried to ignore the way Conrad held Abigail.He was too close to her. Far too close.I sipped from my champagne glass, the chill of the drink doing nothing to cool me down. My other hand curled in my pocket, my nails biting into my palm. It was ridiculous. I was standing here, in full view of the entire room, while Conrad, of all people, was on the dance floor with her. His expression was painfully easy to read, even from a distance, full of longing and desperation. There was regret in the lines of his face, easy to recognise as I had seen that look before. But what could he possibly be saying to her now? Whatever i

    Abigail“Impressive,” Conrad murmured, his hand settling at the small of my back. “You almost had me fooled. Green suits you very well.”“You’re wasting your breath,” I said under my smile, my voice low. “Just say what you want to say.”He twirled me lightly, leaning in as I turned. The music swelled into a gentle high, lilting with a teasing energy that was at odds with the tension between us. I let Conrad lead only because it would’ve looked strange if I didn’t, but my body refused to soften in his arms. I moved as required, my steps light and graceful but mechanical. I kept a neutral smile on my face, just wide enough for onlookers to believe I was enjoying the moment, though every inch of me screamed to step away. He, on the other hand, looked almost at ease, a faint grin playing at his lips.He leaned in as we turned with the rhythm of the song, and his voice dropped low. “You need to stop this,” he said, his hand firm at my waist, pulling me slightly closer than I liked.I raise

    AbigailThe moment Alexander stepped down from the stage and rejoined me, I felt the tension in the room shift. All eyes followed him, then flicked to me, as if trying to decide whose words held more power between Marceline’s and Alexander’s. And now that we were together, standing side by side again in the flesh, the fascination in the crowd thickened. It clung to my skin like static.The staff began to guide everyone toward the banquet hall, the gold-trimmed doors swinging open to reveal tables dressed in crystal and candlelight. We moved with the flow, shoulder to shoulder with some of the most powerful names in the city, and I could feel every glance like a pinprick along my spine. It was dizzying; the heat, the perfume, the murmur of voices. Everyone seemed to be watching me, measuring me.As we entered, Alexander leaned in just slightly, his lips brushing close to my ear. “Relax,” he murmured so low only I could hear. “You’re doing great.”I let out a breath that sounded more li

    Abigail Alexander gave the man in the navy suit a brief nod before turning to me. “I’ll be back shortly.” He moved to leave, but I slipped my arm through his, stopping him mid step. He turned back, brows slightly raised in quiet inquiry. I met his gaze, then reached up, my fingers brushing the fine lapel of his suit. “Your collar,” I murmured, smoothing it out carefully. It hadn’t needed fixing, not really. But I wanted a reason to touch him, to steady him in the moments before he walked into the spotlight. I let my fingertips linger for a second longer than necessary before meeting his eyes again. “Now you can go.” A small, private smile curved my lips, and something flickered in his expression, and then it was gone too quickly to pin down. His lips curved at the edges, not quite a full smile, and with a faint incline of his head, he slipped out of my grasp and walked away, the man in the suit leading him through the crowd. The moment he was gone, I was left with Abel Rudd. “G

    Abigail The air outside was warm with candlelight and music, a gentle hum of conversation weaving through the night. I could feel Alexander’s presence beside me, solid, and imposing,and yet, somehow, all eyes were on me. I didn’t need to glance around to know. I felt their gazes like pinpricks against my skin. Whispers stirred as we stepped onto the terrace, the stone beneath my heels clicking lightly with each step, my hand poised elegantly on Alexander’s arm. I smiled, calm and gracious, as if I belonged to this glittering world and had never left it. In truth, my stomach fluttered. Nerves rippled just under the surface of my skin, but I kept them on a tight leash. I had rehearsed this entrance in my mind a dozen times, calculated every gesture, and every glance. I swept my gaze slowly across the yard, my eyes grazing over shimmery gowns, slick tuxedos, and glinting champagne flutes. Every face turned toward us and every breath seemed to pause. Even from across the expanse of t

    Marceline One hour agoThe champagne stung slightly as it slid down my throat, but I welcomed the burn. It was sharp, dry, and expensive, just the way I liked it. I licked a trace of it off my bottom lip and set the empty flute down on a server’s tray in favor of a fresh one. My eyes slid sideways toward the man beside me; Judge Jeremiah Foundling. He had long since retired but still wielded influence over more than a few key courtrooms. He was saying something about the city’s ongoing ethics scandals. I nodded politely, adding a soft, "Mm, dreadful," as if I cared. I didn’t.I cared more about his daughter, that perfectly poised little thing with bright eyes and a law degree from Oxford, clearly eager to impress and, more importantly, eager to marry up. If she was here tonight and she must be, surely, then perhaps I should point her toward Conrad. A bright, beautiful little thing like her might keep him pliable and easier to manage when he believed he was in control. She was just h
