"I didn't-" I tried to explain but he would listen to me. He carried her in his arms and stomped out of the house.
I couldn't believe what was going on. I only pulled my hand away from her grip and she fell. I should have avoided the situation from the very beginning.
"If anything happens to my grandchild, I will kill you myself," Sara said to me before she went after her son. It was all messed up. I was all alone.
I waited for feedback but got none. Minutes turned into hours but Damien wasn't back. While waiting patiently for him to show up, Mother suddenly stomped into the living room and pointed her fingers at me. "You have done enough now, Abigail. You even went as far as killing a child, for what reason?"
My eyes went round at the revelation. Kill a child? The child didn't make it?
.....
"Please can I make a call to someone?" I requested for the tenth time, but the officer ignored me again. "Please, this is important." I cried.
He rolled his eyes and finally took his gaze to me. "Why bother when you don't have anyone to help you out? Just forget about it, you are stuck in here all your life."
"Just help me, please."
He let out a deep sigh and finally agreed to my request. He opened the cell and led me to his table where a telephone was.
Would they ever accept her back? I was selfish. I abandoned them all because of some stupid love and when everything went south, I needed them again.
I know they wouldn't forgive me but I was ready to try. I swallowed hard the bile making its way up to my throat and dialed the number I had memorized since I was little. So grateful he never changed it.
"Hello?"
I let out the tears lingering in my eyes, allowing my pain to flow along with it. Hearing his voice brought so much relief but memory of how they had tried to stop me but I was too blinded by love to realize what they were saying to me was the truth.
"Hello?" His voice came again on the other end.
"Father," I called in a low, almost inaudible voice that I wasn't sure he heard me, but to my surprise, he called out my name.
"Abigail?!"
I nodded even though he wasn't there to see me. "It's me, father." I cried.
"Where are you? What happened to you? Did anyone hurt my baby?" He questioned at once but realizing he was beginning to panic, he took in a sharp breath to calm himself, before he requested. "Turn on your location now. They will come to pick you up."
"I am at the police station. I am calling through an office line."
"Police station? What are you doing there?"
I sniffed and pursed my lips, not knowing how well to speak out my situation to him. He made it easier when he added, "Don't worry, you will be out of there immediately."
The call hangs up...
I was taken back to my cell and I immediately found my way to the bed. I was rest assured again but my heart was so cold and heavy, remembering what had happened to me. How it all turned against me.
I rested my head on my knees, feeling so weak. The rumbling in my stomach reminded me of my emptiness. I had nothing to eat yet.
I was still occupied with the different thoughts running through my head when suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call out to me.
I raised my head and my breath hitched. "Damien?" Did he finally realize the truth? Was he there to rescue me? So many questions ran through my head in just those few minutes that ran by.
He stared at me for a while and that got my heart beating fast, threatening to pull out of my chest. I was curious to know why he was with me even though he said he never wanted to see me again.
"Why did you do it?" He suddenly asked, breaking off the hope I was building again. He was there to insult and push me away again.
I rested my back against the wall resignedly, letting go of my hope. He would never believe me. He believes Jenna more than me even though it was so obvious those pictures were edited. Who was the one taking the pictures? In one of the pictures, I was staring directly at the camera and so was Jenna, who was tied behind me.
She is a good actress and she did her role well.
"You won't believe anything I say, so why are you here?"
He scoffed and shook his head, "I just need an answer. You committed a great crime and you aren't bothered about it? You made me lose my child."
I opened my mouth to reply when someone beat me to it, "Abigail?" I tilted my head to where the voice came from and I couldn't explain the huge relief that surged through me immediately.
"Edward!" I called and stood up. It's been a while and I finally got to see him again. I just wanted to step out and hug him so tight, but the bars stood as a barrier.
He rushed over to the cell and took my hand in his. "What happened to you?"
"So this is him? This is the man Rose and mother talked about?" I heard Damien come beside me, bringing my attention to him. He scoffed and pointed accusingly at me. "You bloody cheater!"
Abigail’s POV“Get my coat” I ordered Vicky, taking my seat behind my desk, putting my fingers through my hair“Okay ma’am” she answered, bringing up my coat as I removed the jacket and put on my coat.“There’s something I want you to do for me” I said, holding a pen and just then a message came in through the telephone.“Let them in” I said immediately as I knew who it would be, turning to Vicky “You’ll send a message to someone, Damien Forest” I said as at the same time, a man with a pale skin had emerged from the door with a bald headed man holding a briefcase.I noticed how puzzled Vicky was, her eyes in shock, unsure of what to say “I’ll leave them ma’am” she said in a low tone, excusing herself.“Wait, this is the message you’ll be sending to Damien, my ex-husband” I said with a smile.Turning to the men in black with a briefcase “The papers please” I said, stretching my hands as they stood in front of me, handing me the papers, I signaled for them to sit.The paper read ‘Divorc
I walked into the elevator, the only way I could get in and out of the Forest corp without being noticed was in the blue and striped white uniform of a cleaner.“Make sure you scrub those places clean, I want them spotless” the head janitor said calmly before assignment of different duties.“Carmen” he called out to me, his voice was low “You get to clean mr Forest’s office, this..this is a sacred job” he said, I gave him a warm smile.I walked to his office, he was already out, thankfully, I wouldn’t have to hide..too much, I adjusted the cap on my head, I resorted to cleaning, I had the mop to the side.“Who are you?” I heard from behind, I stopped in my tracks ‘Is it Damien? Am I busted?’ I thought to myself as my heart began to pound, I turned to look at the man who just mentioned my name.“I’m the new cleaner of this office sir” I said calmly, hoping he would let me go, my cap still covering most of my hair and the face mask planted on my face.“Why do you use the face mask?” He
Cyrus’ POVHer hair still smelt like lavender, her grip giving me the warmth I had always searched for, Abigail, I finally found what I wanted, you, your scent, your smile, that’s all I want.“Cyrus, is everything alright?” Mother asked, My thoughts were disrupted, I looked to the door.“Oh, mum, I’m fine” I said, opening the door to see her face, she stood behind her mother.“Wh..why are you guys up?” I asked, puzzled.“Nothing really, she said, she’s grabbing a glass of milk, I’m here to check up on you” mother said with a smile on her face.“Sleep tight” she added, walking away. Abigail held the glass close to her lips, her lace pajama top was quite visible, her hair tied up in a restless bun “Sleep tight Cyrus” she said smiling as well, walking past my door.“Good night” I said with a faint voice, closing the door.She looked the same, her body, her face, her personality, she’s the Abigail I knew, not the one that married that coward Damien Forest. I could remember the first day I
I looked at him, his light green eyes and dark brown disheveled hair had always made my heart melt, yet after an encounter with Damien, I only saw him as a friend.“Hey blondie” he said, resorting to the nickname he had given me since we were little, now he looked big and strong, better.“Hey, how are you..” I said, pulling away from him, his scent lingering in my nostrils “I didn’t know you were..back in town” I pointed out, I had just thought about him moments ago and he appeared out of nowhere.“Well.. I’m just coming from the airport, I just landed” he said with a smile on his face as he pointed to his bags that laid that the front door.“Oh okay, sit, sit, how was your trip?” I asked, taking you my bag that laid on the couch to the table.“It was okay, I’ve missed everything here, the people, you, everything” he said, relaxing.“Well.. I’ll get you some food, you go in, freshen up and I’ll do the same” I said, he didn’t need me to show him to the guest room, this was once his h
Damien’s POVI looked at the restaurant ahead of us “Jenna, I’ll get your favorite meal” I said on the phone as we drove in different cars, the only way to communicate would be through our phones.“Oh okay, I’ll head on home then” Jenna answered, I watched her car go in front of mine and almost immediately, it went far into the road, whilst I got to park my car by the road side.Then I noticed a scuffle, two people emerging from the restaurant, I took the car key, walked into Milie Havens, it had Jenna’s favorite but then I heard what seemed like her voice ‘I must be hearing things’ I thought as I took the bag of food but I wasn’t hearing things or hallucinating, there she was, Abigail, her long brunette hair falling below her shoulders, her lips in a thin line.“I said let go of me!” She yelled to the man, she obviously didn’t want to be with him, that was Edward, the same person who she confirmed to be her lover, my heart had begun to race, instinctively, my body moved, I held his w
Abigail’s POV“So not only did he come, he brought that witch of a woman too” I muttered under my breath as I looked through the window, her body etched onto his, his lips on her forehead, I had once wished that was me, in his arms, his face so close to mine but not anymore, I wanted him on the floor, begging and regretting his actions but I had to stay put.“Well ma’am we saw her parked outside” Vicky said, her hand holding her tablet.“Hopefully she did an amazing job” I said looking at Vicky, we both knew what I was talking about, the fake Abigail Conner.***Hours earlier;“Get here right now!” Vicky ordered as per my command, the lady had become a confidant, at least she had no choice, she was paid a lot of money to stand as the heiress and as such she had to do as she was told.“Is she here yet?” I asked Vicky, perplexed, Damien was still in the building and from the security footage he had made his way to the first floor, my office and soi had to lay low.“Sorry I’m late” she s
