Abby’s POV"Is she all right?" I asked the guard who was trying to calm Charlotte down. "Yes, Ma'am. She only got a little bruise on her knees but nothing serious..." I hugged her tight and said, "Don't worry, baby, Mommy's here..." She slowly sobbed and put her little arms around my neck. The moment I turned around, Fabian was looking at me in a really intent manner. He smiled and said, "I've got to go now. If you need anything, just call me." Then he kissed his daughter's forehead and whispered, "Don't get too far little one. Mommy and Daddy are very worried about you." Charlotte nods and smiles at her daddy, "Y-Yes....Da...Daddy..." I glance at him, "Sorry for bothering you again, you may go now." "I'm her father, and you are not bothering me, because you are my wife." I put Charlotte in the chair and asked the maid, "Can you get Charlotte's bath ready?" The maid replied politely, "No, I can do this job, Ma'am. I'll take Charlotte with me." Then she takes Charlotte upstairs
Fabian’s POVThen, later, I heard yelling and screaming coming from outside. Someone had shot the reporter in the head. As I looked at the victim's lifeless body and watched the suspect run away with the large motorcycle, my wrath began to rise to a fever pitch. I pulled out my weapon and aimed to shoot him several times, but it was already too late; he had escaped quickly.I called Xander, “Xander, I need backup…” Then I heard Xander's voice, and it sounded like he was breathing excessively because it was so raspy, and he was gasping for air as he said, "Brother...he caught me." Then I heard a hard punch, and I imagined that Esteban's brother was as lethal as he was but also a person who wanted to seek revenge for everyone involved in his brother's death.The next thing I heard was a voice saying, "I've got everything I need. Do not try to save your brother because if you do, I will come back to you and kill you." "Are you threatening me?!""No, I just warned you of what I am capab
Fabian’s POV"Miguel?!" When I looked on in disbelief and horror at Miguel, who was torturing my brother, Xander. Xander was bleeding extremely, and he couldn't even stand up. He had broken bones and painful screams. Miguel gave me a sideways glance while maintaining a sneer on his lips as he said, "You took Abby away from me, and I let it go because I want her to be happy. But when your brother killed my brother, I can't let this go anymore!"He yelled at me in a low, threatening tone, and in the same instant, he shot my brother in the head and screamed, "Goodbye, Xander!"I can't even imagine him being my last enemy. I broke down on the floor, looking at my brother's dead body. I had failed to protect him, and my rival enemy had killed him.Miguel walked away as I let him go, and I understood why he was acting this way. If he did everything to put justice into his own hands because of the loss of his brother, then I tried everything I could to defend and save my brother as well, bu
Abby’s POVWhile I was traveling to my flower shop, I listened to some of my favorite chill music on the way there. I was filled with joy and contentment as I sang along to the beat of the music, and a short time later, I arrived at the flower shop. I rented a small shop in this small town, opened the door, and started my day by putting some floral decorations outside the store.I opened the bottle of water because I was so thirsty. Then I took a deep breath and sat on the chair outside while reading a magazine. I crossed my legs and put my glasses on. The next second, a man walked in and immediately began searching for something. I get to my feet and greet him with a cheery face."Hi, sir. What can I help you with?"He took one look at me, and despite his adult looks, he gave off the impression of being a timid young boy. He gave me a friendly smile before pointing to the red flowers in the far corner and asked, "May I get that one? How much?"I gave him a friendly grin and the bou
Abby’s POV "Oh, I've got to go... Something happened to Charlotte at school. I need to get there as quickly as I can." Christian was about to say something, but I was in a hurry, so I left him in the restaurant and took a taxi to the primary school. As soon as I walk through the door, every single teacher stops what they're doing and stares at me in wonder. Nonetheless, my main priority was to search for my child, so I asked the teacher. "Uhm, I'm Charlotte's mother, where is she?" The teacher sighed and then said, "She is currently at the clinic with her father." "Miss Reyes, Did you say her dad?" "Your daughter was with her dad, and she looked so pleased telling everyone that she has a dad, why don't you give your husband an opportunity to be with your daughter? Are you divorced or legally separated?" she asks, wanting to know about my life. I gave a little shake of the head, and then, just as my heart started racing with excitement, I said, "Excuse me," and went to the hall
Abby’s POVSouthern end of Central Park in Manhattan, New York City.It was pouring heavily outside, and we had to call off our trip because it was not safe to travel anywhere in the current weather conditions. When I spotted Charlotte looking out the living room window at the city lights, it made me smile. While she was having a good time and holding her teddy bear, she caught a glimpse of me and flashed a grin. "Mommy…” I hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek, “Yes, my love?” She sighed deeply, “When is my daddy coming to pick us up?” I checked my phone to see if Fabian had sent me any messages, but I didn't see anything, even missed calls or texts; I was starting to grow concerned, but all I could do was hope that perhaps he was preoccupied with his business or that maybe he met someone in connection with his new transaction. I got up and said, “Wait, baby. I have to call Daddy, okay?” She nodded her head and smiled at me excitedly, “Yes, mommy.” I took a deep breath w
Fabian’s POVThe storm was heavily pouring, and lots of cars were stuck in the traffic because of the big floods in the street. I sighed as I stared at my phone because there was no signal, I wanted to call my wife and my daughter just to tell them I was okay and there was nothing to worry about me, but I thought I had to sigh and wait for the traffic to move. The traffic finally moved, and my driver breathed a sigh of relief. He then took the fastest route to get to the street in Manhattan. I had a house in the Billionaire's Row residential area. I have a lot of plans for Abby and Charlotte, including living with them in the simplest way possible to make them feel safe since I'm going to end my job as the mafia boss, and I hate being away from them. I don't want to put the lives of my family members at risk. I opened my bag and pulled out a little teddy bear for Charlotte, and I smiled because she would love this.Then all of a sudden my phone began to ring, I smiled as I knew it co
Charlotte’s POVI hold my breath as I look into my father's sharp eyes. I was shaking like crazy when he stepped toward me, and when he was close enough, he took a deep breath, pulled my hair, and slapped my face in front of his woman without saying anything. The woman gasped and said, “Miguel! Stop it! How can I market this young woman if you are ruining her beautiful face?!” My dad never loved or cared for me my whole life. He always said that he reminds me of my mom and hates it when he sees my face. That's why he keeps hurting me verbally and physically until I get used to it. Dad answered, "Well, this woman doesn't respect me!" First, she wouldn't let me in, and now she's trying to jump out the window!" Then he opened the window, and it seemed like he saw someone outside. It was the gang leader, and he waved his hand at me, and then my dad shut the window and glared at me."Is that your boyfriend?! You whore!" I shook my head in terror, and said softly, “No…he’s not my—” He
