Chapter 14

The Rainy Afternoon

The sky was gray when Abby stepped outside. It wasn’t raining yet, but the air smelled like it would. She pulled her sweater tighter and made her way down the path toward the main house. Her shoes made soft sounds on the wet stone, and her thoughts were all over the place.

Mr. Edward hadn’t spoken much during breakfast. He just gave her a small nod and said, “You can dust the study today.”

She had said “Okay,” but the way he looked at her before leaving the kitchen stuck in her head. It wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t warm either. It was like he was thinking about something but didn’t want to say it out loud.

Inside the house, it was quiet. She didn’t hear Anna’s voice or even the cook in the kitchen. It felt like the whole place was asleep. Abby walked to the study and opened the door slowly.

The room smelled like old books and something else—something softer. Maybe cologne. His cologne.

She took a deep breath and stepped inside. The room was large and fille

  • FALLING For EDWARD   Old Faces, New Trouble

    Chapter 21 The morning light slipped through the curtains, casting soft lines across the bedroom. Abby was still in bed, her eyes barely open, curled against Edward’s chest. His arm rested lazily around her waist, his fingers tracing idle lines across her back. She loved mornings like this—quiet, warm, with nothing but the soft sound of his breathing beside her. But today felt different. She couldn’t explain why. Just a strange feeling in her chest, like something was coming. She sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes. “I need to go to town,” she said, her voice soft. Edward stirred. “What for?” “Groceries. And I want to get some new soap for the kitchen.” He nodded, his eyes still half closed. “Alright. Be safe.” Later that morning, Abby stepped off the bus, her bag hanging on one shoulder. The town was quiet like usual, a few cars passing, a few shop doors opening. She walked into the small store she always went to, picked a basket, and started down the aisles. She was by t

  • FALLING For EDWARD   It hurts when he is silent

    Chapter 19 Abby didn’t come out of her room that night. She barely slept. Her thoughts were loud, tangled, and messy. The woman’s words wouldn’t stop echoing in her head. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her mother’s face from that old picture… and then Edward’s. Could it really be true? She didn’t want to believe it. But there was a heaviness in her chest now. A small space of doubt that had never been there before. The next morning, she packed a small bag. Just a few things. Her clothes, her phone charger, her mom’s picture… and the old flyer from the diner — the one that led her to Edward in the first place. She didn’t say goodbye. She left a note instead. It was short. I need time to think. Please don’t look for me. —Abby Her hands shook as she placed it on his desk. She looked around the house once, then walked out the front door and didn’t look back. ⸻ She took a cab to a small guesthouse in a quieter part of the city. Nothing fancy. Just enough to have a bed a

  • FALLING For EDWARD   He's hiding something

    Chapter 18 The morning light peeked through the curtains, brushing softly against Abby’s face. She turned slowly in bed, her eyes still closed. The sheets smelled like fresh linen and something warm… familiar. Edward. She blinked slowly, remembering the way his arms had wrapped around her last night — not rushed, not wild, just quiet. Like he was holding something fragile. For a moment, Abby stayed still, listening. The house was quiet. Too quiet. She got up and pulled on her robe, stepping into the hallway. Her bare feet touched the cold floor, and she hugged herself as she moved through the corridor. She found Edward in the kitchen. He stood near the counter, wearing a dark sweater and trousers, a mug in his hand. His eyes met hers immediately. “You’re up early,” he said. Abby nodded, stepping into the room. “Couldn’t sleep anymore.” He handed her a fresh cup of tea without asking. She took it with a small smile. “Thanks.” Edward leaned against the counter, watching her qu

  • FALLING For EDWARD   Touched by Him yet Again

    Chapter 17 The next morning, Abby woke up to the sound of birds chirping softly outside her window. The air felt cooler than usual, and for a second, she thought it might rain. She lay still for a while, her eyes staring at the ceiling. Her thoughts were full of everything that had happened lately—Mr. Edward, the way he looked at her, how close they had gotten in just a short time. She turned to the side and saw the small bedside clock ticking quietly. It was still early. She had some time before starting her chores, so she stayed in bed a little longer, letting her thoughts drift. The way he held her hand last night—it kept playing over in her mind. It wasn’t just the touch. It was the way his thumb moved slowly against her skin, like he was trying to calm her down, or maybe trying to speak without using words. And she understood. She didn’t know how, but she did. It scared her a bit, how fast her feelings were growing. When she finally got up, she washed her face, brushed her h

    Chapter 16Abby stood at the kitchen counter, slowly stirring a pot of soup. The smell of garlic and herbs filled the room, warm and comforting. She wasn’t sure why she felt so nervous today. Everything had gone well in the morning—she’d cleaned the study, changed the sheets in the guestroom, even managed to organize the pantry without anyone asking. But something still felt… off.She glanced at the clock. It was almost five.Mr. Edward had been in meetings all day. She’d only seen him once, briefly, when he’d passed her in the hallway and nodded with that quiet look he always gave—like he was trying not to think too hard about something.Abby had gotten used to that look. It came with a small frown and a soft tension in his jaw, like there was always more on his mind than he said out loud.She heard the front door open, then the soft thud of his shoes. Her heart jumped a little. She didn’t know why it still did that. She’d been living here for over two weeks now. Every day, she told

    Chapter 15The morning sun peeked through the thin curtains in Abby’s room, casting soft light over her face. She stirred gently, blinking as her eyes adjusted. For a moment, she forgot where she was. But then it all came rushing back—the mansion, the quiet halls, Mr. Edward.She sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes, her heart beating a little faster than usual. Yesterday had felt different. He’d taken her out to dinner, opened up a bit, smiled more than he ever had. It wasn’t just the food or the view—it was how he’d looked at her. Like she wasn’t just a housekeeper anymore. Like she was something more.She touched her lips, remembering the moment he’d brushed his hand against hers at the table. It hadn’t been much, but it made her stomach flip in a way she wasn’t used to.Abby got ready quietly. She wore a soft cream sweater and simple jeans, tying her hair back in a loose ponytail. She wanted to look nice but not like she’d tried too hard. After all, she still had work to do.She steppe
