A few more days passed, and finally, the weekend came. It was the day of the get-together party, and Abigail was getting ready. The smile on her face was telling how happy she was. She was thrilled because she was going to spend the entire evening with Charles, not because of the party.
She wore a deep green, floral lace bodice, off-shoulder swing dress. The hem of the dress ended right above her knees. The dress wrapped her well-curved body perfectly. She pinned her hair into a partial updo, and her slightly wavy hair fell freely on her shoulder. Her originally pretty face looked prettier with the light makeup she put on.
In the meantime, Charles called her and informed her that he had already arrived at the mansion. Abigail grabbed her purse and hurried out of the mansion. She saw him leaning on his black sedan, crossing his arms across his chest.
While Abigail and Charles were chatting and drinking happily, Rebecca came to them and asked, “Abi, can I have some time with you?” Her tone was cold, and her expression was unreadable. She glanced at Charles nonchalantly before looking back at Abigail again.Abigail didn’t want to leave him alone. She looked at him and then moved her eyes to Rebecca. She parted her lips to say something, but before that, Charles said, “Go. Don’t worry about me.”Abigail turned her head to look back at him and asked, “Are you sure?”“Go.” He gave a reassuring smile to her.Abigail didn’t know why she didn’t want to leave his side. She was distressed and uncomfortable. She felt that something bad wou
Charles and Rebecca headed straight to the restroom, and he asked her to check inside. Rebecca entered the ladies’ restroom and called her, “Abi… Abigail, are you here?”But she didn’t get any reply. She didn’t find her anywhere after checking in all the cubicles. She panicked and covered her mouth with both hands. She rushed out of the restroom and called Charles, “She is not inside.” She was agitated and scared at the same time.“Fuck.” Charles was anxious and cursed loudly. He ran his fingers through his hair. His breathing quickened in trepidation, and he was looking here and there contemplating where she could go. “I am going to check the other parts of the club.” He turned and left soon after dropping those words.“I will chec
Charles came out of the clubhouse and headed to the parking area, carrying Abigail in his arms. She dropped her head upon his shoulder, coiling her arms around his neck. Tears were still dripping down, and his shirt on his shoulder was wet.He opened the door of the car and put her in the passenger seat. Closing the door, he walked around and got into the car. He turned his head and looked at her. She was looking outside in a trance, keeping her head on the windshield. Traces of tears could be seen on her cheeks, and the blood trail to the corner of her lip was already dried up.He sighed and looked down on his lap momentarily, only to look back at her again. He leaned towards her and reached out to stretch the seatbelt strap and fastened it carefully. She moved her eyes and looked at him. He also gazed at her. They were close enough to feel each ot
Robert Mills’s expression darkened, and he clenched and unclenched his jaws to suppress his anger. He wouldn’t let go of the person easily who dared to hurt her. “Alright. Don’t cry anymore. It’s late now. Go and get some sleep.” He patted her head and comforted her.Abigail nodded and strode to her room, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. He stared at her retreating back until she entered her room. Then he took the phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. When the call connected, he said coldly with his authoritative tone, “Check what happened at the get-together party that Abi attended. I want the man who dared to touch her to be punished.”After hearing an affirmative response from the other end of the phone, he hung up the call and headed straight to his study.
Aidan looked at her retreating back, stunned. This woman who always complained to him about not giving her time was not pleased to learn that he willingly came to spend time with her. Did she lose her interest in him? Aidan couldn’t stay calm when this thought crossed his mind. He couldn’t lose her, not before he achieved his goal. Because of Erica, he had ignored her a lot, and now it was time to pay attention to her. Otherwise, he might lose her forever. He followed her to the room and asked anxiously, “Abi, my darling… You are mad at me, aren’t you?”Abigail stopped on her track and turned around to look at him. She wanted to be alone, and right now, the least she wanted to do was talk to him. She exhaled deeply and said, “I am not.” She again sighed and turned her head on the other side, saying, “You are very serious when it comes to the business.
A month had passed in a blink of an eye, and it’s getting hotter and hotter. The sun radiates heat throughout the city M. But the scorching heat couldn’t subside the enthusiasm and eagerness of Abigail. She was happy since morning. She was giggling and humming her favorite tune. One month later, she received a call from Charles, and he asked her to see him. She always wished to call him, but every time, when she went to dial his number, she remembered about his girlfriend and dropped the idea to call him. She missed him, but she couldn’t say it loudly to anyone. So she jotted down her feelings in her diary.All these days, Aidan spent time with her every evening. Abigail tried her best to keep this relationship going, but the love in her heart for Aidan was already dead. She couldn’t love him anymore, and spending time with him had become strenuous for her. She smiled at him and act
Abigail’s heart was beating faster. She was staring at him intensely, trying to figure out what was hidden within his mind. She was eager to know what he was about to say.Charles rubbed her cheek gently with his thumb. It was getting difficult for him to suppress his feelings, and he opened his mouth to confess.Tring… Tring… Tring…He was interrupted by the loud ringing on his phone, and the words he wanted to say remained stuck inside his throat. His hand froze in the air, and he stared at her with complex feelings in his heart. Then he took the phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen, just to see Aidan’s number. He came to his senses and realized that he was about to make a mistake in the flow of emotions. He wiped his face, contemplatin
The receptionist checked the details of the patient on the computer and asked, “Angelina White, right? She was brought here unconscious.”“Yes.” Charles was anxious, and he wiped his face with his palm.“She is in the emergency room.”Charles turned around and rushed to the emergency room as soon as he got the answer. He saw Angelina’s mother sitting on the chair in front of the emergency room. She was weeping uncontrollably.He walked up to her and asked warily, “Lucy, what happened to her? Why did she pass out?” He sat on the chair next to her and looked at her inquisitively.Lucy was just crying harder and harder and couldn’t reply at all. Charles sigh
