Abigail’s POV

As I looked at the window, noticing the grass while I took a sip of my coffee, remembered what had happened last night “Maybe I shouldn’t have done that” I muttered.

“Shouldn’t have done what?” Mother asked as she strolled into the kitchen.

“Getting so angry at Aaron..I just didn’t think he’d come back, ever” i added, taking a cookie from the plate that laid on the counter.

“Why were you so angry at him by the way?” She inquired as she walked closer to me

I looked to her, took a cookie to my mouth “It’s not something I’ll have the time to say right now mom” I answered, putting the mug down and heading to my room to get ready for the day.

“You sure you’re okay?” She asked as I left the kitchen for my room.

“Yes mom” I said almost immediately, heading to get my outfit for the day.

Going to work meant looking out for Damien Forest, especially today, being the day of Damien’s appointment. I peeked at the window of my car while the driver drove slowly into the parking lot

  • My Ruthless CEO   65

    I had learnt to wake up early, earlier than usual and stick to the routine to helping the maids around the house.I cooked, washed and cleaned, helping out in ways I could and made sure Roseline had seen me work just so I wouldn’t get on her bad side, yet, nothing worked, she found faults in my food, dirt in the place I cleaned and chastised me for not waking up early enough.It has been foue months living under the same roof as Roseline and Sara and it had to be the worst months of my life, I went through excruciating pains while doing the chores and all I got were scolds, I hadn’t gotten used to it, I never thought I would because this was worse than being alone, never did I know, it could actually be worse.“Hey babe..someone’s phoning you” I said as I walked in, exhausted from doing the house chores, I saw his phone buzzing as he stayed in the shower, getting his bath.There was no response, the water must have had a deafening effect. I looked over to the phone to see the caller

    I stared at the wall clock after breakfast as I paced side to side in my room.“No texts, no calls, nothing” I muttered, dialing his phone once more for the fiftieth time, hoping this would be different from the other forty-nine trials.It was no different, I paced around and as I was about to go downstairs, the door flung open.“Damien?!” I called out, rushing to him, his body pale, weak.“What happened?” I asked, my eyes widened in shock.“I..I” he stuttered, taking him with all of my strength, I pulled him from the doorway, dragging him onto the bed.“What did you do?” I asked aw he laid on the bed, moving his arms.Then a knock came on my door.“What is it?” I yelled from inside.“Are you yelling at me?” Roseline asked from the outside, I had already gotten off the wrong foot with her, I wouldn’t need to have more of that. I rushed to the door, placing my husband on the bed.“Sorry Roseline..it’s just that..” I said as she cut me off.“You’re so useless your husband didn’t come h

    After helping with the morning chores, I felt too exhausted, luckily for me, I did help around my home when I was younger instead of asking all the maids to do all I wanted, my efforts were finally paying off but at what cost?“Are you sitting down doing nothing?” Roseline asked.“I’m taking a break” I answered, almost furious.“When you haven’t cleaned your portion of the house?” She asked.I scoffed at her.“Did you just scoff at me?!” She exclaimed.“You’re asking me to do all these and there are many maids for that kind of job” I answered.“Those maids are paid minimum wage but if you want to eat in this house, you’ll do your part of the work” she said angrily.This escalated more quickly than expected, I raised a brow at her, walked to my room instead of indulging her.“Are you walking out on me?!” She yelled.I fully ignored her, walking as slowly as I could to get to my room, to grab my phone and call Damien and tell him about his sister’s rude behavior.“Hey babe” I said to th

    Cyrus completely avoided me, my calls and even my presence, the only time I saw him was at the day of my wedding, standing at a distance, a shallow smile on his face, his expression, unreadable.I couldn’t understand why he was against me and the marriage but I did understand my parents reason for not coming.****Two weeks to the wedding.“I can’t marry whoever you guys want, I’m engaged and I love him!” I yelled, clearly stating my reason.“We can’t let you marry into that family!” Father answered, taking his seat at the middle of the table.“Fine then..I’m no longer a daughter of this family, luckily, I’ll take my husband’s name and never come back!” I yelled, holding on to my bag.“But..Abigail..wait” mother pleaded.“We’ve been over this mother..I won’t leave Damien..he’s been through so much already” I said as the maids held onto my beg, joining my mother’s plea.“Abby..don’t leave” mother pleaded, tears in her eyes.****I sat through the ceremony, averting dark glances from R

    I sat across from him, a cup of coffee in my hand, my eyes trying their very best to avert his gaze, his green short sleeve shirt protruding his slightly huge biceps, hogging them, his eyes focused on me.“So..how are you feeling?” I asked, holding my coffee mug with both hands, anxiety in my veins.“I feel all better..besides you gave me a lot of time to recuperate before meeting for coffee” he said, a smile on his lips, one that hid his canines.“Yeah..I wanted you to have your space” I said, taking a sip of my coffee, hoping it would last in my cup forever.“A month’s really a long space if you ask me” he said in a smooth baritone that seemed to scratch an itch on a part of my brain.“Yeah..I’m just looking out for you” I chuckled nervously, taking another sip.“Is it because of Jenna?” He asked.I froze at his statement, cup at my lips, I looked at him, his light blue eyes watching me.“Don’t tell me you think we’ll still be together” he added, straight to the point. Maybe Cyru

    “What are you thinking? Going to see him like that” Cyrus asked.“I was just being polite” I answered “Why are you so against me? You’ve been acting so strange” I added, folding my arms as we talked in the balcony of the hospital.“Being polite?” He asked “You brought him snacks so early in the morning, it’s got tthe be more than that” he stated. He was right, I wasn’t just being polite, I wanted to care for him, to show him that I could watch him, I couldn’t rest all night knowing he was in the hospital, I had to come see him very early.“Cyrus, we’ve talked about this..I like Damien, it makes me care about him but really I was just too worried last night, I had to come over today” I answered in a subtle tone.“Then you said you were his girlfriend?” He asked. I paused, how would he know about that, he had only gotten here a few minutes ago, there’s no way he’d known that, not even from Roseline’s mouth.“The doctor said, his girlfriend came to care for him this morning and that’s go
