Abby Hale ~•~ “Ugh, you’re so good!” “Fuck!” “Say my name, baby!” “Michael.” I pressed my ear against the door of my bedroom which I shared with my boyfriend. I didn’t even flinch as I heard him fucking another woman in the same bed we slept every night. It wasn’t the first time it had happened. I was exhausted and drained, mentally, emotionally, and physically. He had made me cry so much that it felt like my tear duct had stopped working, I had clocked out of the relationship a long time ago, but I loved him too much and couldn’t bring myself to leave him. Yes, I was dumb. But this was his last straw. He had cheated on me countless times, but he never brought the girls home. Maybe he was also tired of the relationship and wanted me to catch him red-handed. As I stood outside, I contemplated opening the door or turning around to leave. After a while, I just pushed the door open without thinking further. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw next as I stepped inside the room. “Jesus Christ!” I exclaimed, my eyes wide in shock. My boyfriend wasn’t sleeping with just any random person, it was my fucking best friend. It felt like I had been stabbed with a sharp knife. Their bodies tangled effortlessly in the sheets, like it wasn’t their first time, like it was normal for them. When they heard my voice, they both froze and turned around to look at me. My best friend, Cora, couldn’t even maintain my gaze. But Michael? He had a mischievous smirk plastered across his face. He pushed the blanket from his body and sat on the edge of the bed. “You’ve finally caught us… she fucks better than you though,” he said with a mocking chuckle. How did I even date such an asshole for over a year? Cora whimpered behind him as she tried to cover her naked body with the sheets. “I’m… I—I’m so sorry. Abby… I didn’t mean, I’m…,” she stuttered as she tried to come up with a lame apology. I still couldn’t believe what I’d just seen. Cora? The same person I used to talk to about everything in my life? About my relationship issues? The same person who always advised me to leave Michael because I deserve someone better? I just let out a bitter scoff. I didn’t respond to any of them. After walking into the closet and grabbing a new pair of clothes, I took one last glance at them before storming out of the room. Cora had a guilty expression, but Michael had a satisfied expression. Even though I acted like I didn’t care, my heart was actually shattered into a million tiny pieces. I had a shower in the guest bathroom and changed out of my work clothes. Then I made my way to my car and drove to the nearest bar. After what I’d just witnessed, I needed an insane amount of alcohol, enough to silence every thought, every memory, and every stupid feeling that still clung to him. The bar was dimly lit and I was grateful that it wasn’t packed. I honestly couldn’t deal with a lot of people around me. I just wanted to be alone, drinking away my problems. “Give me the strongest drink you have here,” I muttered to the bartender as I ran my hand through my scattered red hair. He nodded with a small smile. “Sure, coming right up.” A few minutes later, he slid a glass in front of me. The smell alone made my chest tighten but I didn’t hesitate. I tipped my head backward and swallowed it in one go. The burn was sharp and violent, but I didn’t care. “Another one, please,” I said to the bartender, my voice sounding steadier than I felt. “Rough night, huh?” He asked as he refilled the glass. I scoffed. “You have no idea.” Soon enough, I was on my fourth round. My head was already feeling light and I was starting to become dizzy. I asked for another round and he passed it to me, but before I could take it, someone else beat me to it. My face formed into a frown. And I turned around slowly to see who had the audacity to take my drink. A man stood there, tall, with broad shoulders, messy dark hair, and a sharp jaw line. He looked breathtaking but I didn’t care about his looks. I just wanted to understand why he would take my drink away from me. His eyes were fixed on me as he took a slow and deliberate sip from the glass. My glass! But before I could open my mouth to confront him, he spoke. “Five shots in a row? You must be really trying hard to forget something.” I blinked. “Are you insane? Have you been watching me since I came into the bar?” He nodded casually like it was a totally normal thing to do. “Yes… Some people do say I’m insane,” he replied as he sat down on the empty stool beside me. I snatched my glass from him, not caring that he had already taken a sip from it. I turned around and drank all of them at a go, then I dropped the glass aggressively on the table. My fingers trembled as I rummaged through my purse to find a few dollar bills. But before I could pay the bartender, the strange man had already slid a hundred-dollar bill and asked him to keep the change. I raised my eyebrow at him. “What is wrong with you? I can pay my bills by myself.” I threw the dollar bills at the bartender and stood up from the bench. But before I could walk away, the strange man held me, his grip firm. “Please, stay…” he murmured under his breath. “And why should I listen to you?” He exhaled sharply. “Because you look like you need someone to talk to about your problems… and maybe even fuck.” I blinked at him, startled by the bluntness of his words. “Let me guess, you’re a rich boy, probably living off your parents’ money, and you think you can get any girl you want?” He shook his head, letting go of my arm slowly. “No, you’re wrong. But this isn’t about me, I just want to make you feel better.” “Make me feel better? You don’t even know me.” “Yeah, I don’t know you. But I know when someone is really heartbroken and yours seems so… fresh.” I swallowed hard. He was right. But I didn’t want him to be right. Maybe talking to a stranger about my problems wasn’t the worst idea. I pushed my hair backward and stared at him for a long second. He shifted closer, his knee brushing mine lightly. And then, his finger traced a slow line across the back of my hand. A spark shot through me instantly and my breath hitched. I didn’t know if it was the alcohol, the heartbreak, or just him. But that single touch made my pussy throb with sudden heat, shameful and desperate. Maybe having sex with a stranger on the day I got my heart broken wasn’t also a bad idea. I was one step from falling entirely into the hands of a man I didn’t know.Chapter 140Abby Hale ~•~ SIX MONTHS LATERMy eyes darted between Landon and Liam, who were both seated on the king-sized bed in one of the best hotels in New York. I still couldn’t believe that they agreed to have a threesome with me. Six months. It had been six months since the hospital, since the guilt that had nearly broke all of us, since we started therapy separately and then together. We were trying to achieve a healthy relationship that didn’t involve choosing or destroying. We’d gone on dates, shared dinners filled with awkward silences that slowly turned into laughter. It’d been six months of me realizing that I didn’t want to lose either of them — and them finally admitting the same and accepting my decision. “You’re thinking too much,” Liam echoed, dragging me out of my thoughts. Landon nodded in agreement. “Yeah, just climb on the bed.” I swallowed. “I’m thinking this might be a terrible idea.” For a long time, I’d thought about bringing up the idea, but I was
Chapter 139Abby Hale ~•~ I knew I didn’t have any enemies dangerous enough to kidnap and torture me. The only people who came to mind were Michael and Cora. But even though they weren’t in my life, I’d known them for a while. And I was certain that they wouldn’t be able to pull off something like that. My eyes were still closed. I could hear Landon and Mia’s conversation, but I acted like I wasn’t awake. But when Landon explained everything that happened, I couldn’t help but chime in on the conversation. I was so heartbroken when I realized that everything that happened to me was because of Liam. I went through all that torture, and I also lost my baby because of Liam. My hand instinctively landed on my stomach. The life that was once growing inside me wasn’t there anymore. I only had the baby for a while, but a part of me had gotten attached. I saw the baby as a chance for stability in my life. I’d already imagined what the future would be like. But now, everything had bee
Chapter 138Liam Lancaster ~•~ I hated myself for what I’d done to Abby. I hated that she had to lose her baby because of me. Shit, it could have been my baby too. Landon’s words lingered in my head even after I left the hospital. Everything happened because of me, and she was going to be devastated when she found out about it. I had no idea how I would even face her. I felt so horrible. Even if it wasn’t entirely my fault, I was still the reason why Ruiz came into the picture. They tortured Abby. That part was already tormenting me. And now, she has also lost the baby. I didn’t even know how to live with myself. After driving for a few minutes without any direction, I reversed the car and made my way over to Jordan’s studio. He was having a shoot, so I had to wait for a few hours before finally getting the chance to talk to him. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Abby?” he asked anxiously. “Why do you look so distraught?” I dragged a hand down my face. “She lost the
Chapter 137Landon Lancaster ~•~ “Landon, this isn’t the time to fight. Abby needs us now, more than ever,” Liam said, attempting to calm me down. My eyes blazed with anger. “I told you that you would be held responsible if anything happens to Abby!” I snorted. “She wouldn’t be in this situation if you didn’t get involved with those people.” Liam let out a deep exhale. “I know you think it’s my fault, but I’m totally innocent here,” he continued, defending himself. “Besides, I risked my future just for him to release her.” I couldn’t hold back a scoff. He really wanted to act like he was the victim?“You had no choice but to agree to his terms. What else would you have done? Allow him to kill Abby?” I asked, giving him a dirty look. “You are lucky she finally woke up after so many hours.” Liam stared at me for a long second.“Why are you acting like I intentionally put Abby in this situation? Why are you acting like I’m a monster?” For the first time in months, my brother was
Chapter 135Liam Lancaster ~•~ “Why are you frozen like you’ve just seen a ghost?” Landon asked with curiosity in his voice. “What happened?” I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t even say anything. “Liam, what the hell did you see?” he continued, his patience wearing thin. “Can’t y
Chapter 119Liam Lancaster ~•~ After we were done on the balcony, Abby and I had a long and relaxing shower together. When we finally dried off and got dressed, I asked her to stay in the room while I went downstairs to grab breakfast for both of us.I wanted to give her breakfast in bed. When

Chapter 92 Liam Lancaster ~•~ I was sad when Abby said she wouldn’t be able to attend the fashion event, but at the same time, I couldn’t blame her because I didn’t tell her about it earlier. In my defense, Jordan didn’t tell me about it earlier either. It was kind of impromptu and my evening w
