Abigail's POV 

Bloody cheater? He was so quick to accuse me. Well, I shouldn't be shocked anymore when he doesn't trust me at all. For someone who claimed to love him, he was quick to come up with an accusation. 

"Who the hell are you?" Edward questioned with his brows drawn together. He was filled with so much curiosity and I understood why. He was out of the country a year ago when I got married to Damien.

"I should be asking you that. Who are you to my wife and how dare you come here to show your face?"

Edward's eyes went round as he shot his gaze at me. "Wife?"

"I will explain everything to you later, just please get me out of here." I pleaded and he stared at me for a few seconds, finally agreeing to my pleas after all. 

Damien scoffed and put his hands in his picket, not ready to let it go, yet. "I wanted to believe Mother and Rose lied, but they didn't. You brought him here, too." He accused, forcing me to face him. I was sick and tired of him blaming me for what I didn't know. 

"I don't care what you think of my relationship with him. You can even think of him as my husband too!" I raised my voice, trying to calm my anger so badly to prevent me from saying something I would regret the moment I let it out. 

Edward drew his lips into a straight line, not wanting to say anything even though he had a lot to say. There was concern lacing his features but he respected my decision. 

"I have nothing to say to someone who claimed to love me but easily pointed his accusing finger at me." I could feel my rage surging through, threatening to burst out and burn everything it came in contact with.

I couldn't keep it in anymore. 

"You have always wanted to go to Jenna and now is the right opportunity." I snapped my finger and pointed it to him, "I am sure this was all a setup by you and her to take me out of the picture. You both did this to be together!" A single tear flowed down my cheek, as I let it all out even though it wasn't enough to calm me down. 

"Abigail, do you want me to send him out?" Edward asked, wanting to reach out to me but was stopped by the bars separating us. 

My lower abdomen suddenly hurt, forcing a wince out of me. I held on to the cell bars for support and my new predicament didn't go unnoticed by Edward and Damien.

"Are you alright?" Edward questioned, trying to reach out to me. "I will get you out." He scurried away, leaving me behind with Damien. 

"What's wrong?" 

I lifted my gaze to his face and almost cringed at the look of concern, evidenced by his brows furrowed.

I rolled my eyes and let out another wince.

"Officer, we need a doctor here!" He called out, walking closer to the bars and taking my hand in his. "Don't worry you will be alright. Just breathe." He instructed, squeezing my hand gently to assure me that he was there with me.

I wanted to scream at him and pull his hand off mine, knowing he was just acting to care. He was engulfed by his anger at me betraying his trust, so why would he care so suddenly? It was surely an act and behind it was mockery.

The more I think about his hate towards me and his distrust, the more my anger kept surging into me and his hold on my hand felt like a deep cut. 

Just as I thought before he must have planned the act with Jenna to take me out of his life and it would be easy to get a divorce with the charge of me harming someone, killing their unborn child, and committing adultery. I hate him!

I lowered my head and clenched the bar harder, letting the ears well up in my test to flow out like a river. I don't see it anymore. I had wanted to hide it from him and not see how weak ideas were, but the pain was so terrible that it felt like my soul was being pulled out of me. 

Edward came back with two officers and the cell was opened up. I lost my balance but fell into Edward's hand. 

"I will take her with me." I heard Damien's voice and his hands reaching out to take me away from Edward.

"Haven't you done enough? I don't know your relationship with Abigail, but if you try anything stupid, you will curse this day." It was Edward's turn to lay out his threat.

"She is my wife!"

"I don't care to know what relationship you have with her, Mr! She is my-" I tightened my hand around him, stopping him from speaking any further. 

I wouldn't give Damien any reason to take me away and back to the house. "I want to go!" I whispered to him to which he nodded.

"The cops are working on something. We will be out of here soon." He answered while I leaned closer to him. Edward faced Damien and let out a deep sigh, "I don't think it is your concern to know who I am, so I will leave that aside. As for you, you should step away. She doesn't need your help."

"Abigail is my wife and I have the right to take her with me and not you!" He scowled and it became intense between the two. 

"Please stop!" I cried, bringing their attention to me and what was happening. I don't know what had happened, but I could feel my pants soaked and it wasn't my period. I just wanted to get out and away from Damien and this police station.

"The paperwork is ready, sir!" I heard an officer say while I shut my eyes. Edward's arms went around me and my feet left the floor.

"Don't you-" Damien started but I quickly spoke up, turning my gaze to him.

"I don't want you anywhere near me, Damien. Stay away from me!" I swallowed down the hard nuts in my throat and winced a bit. "Edward here is my lover and unlike you, he believes me."

"What?!"

    My body felt numb, I could feel my hands tied up behind my back, my eyes felt heavy, yet, I struggled to have them open.“Wakey wakey..dear cousin” Charlie said“W..what’s going on?” I asked in a hoarse voice.“You’ve got to wake up” she said again.I felt a slap across my face, my eyes shot open. “Charlie?” I struggled to speak.“Hey Abby, you’re finally awake” she said, a smile on her lips as she took off the hoodie from her head, crouching down to meet my gaze.“What are you doing?” I asked, noticing the blood dripping from my head.“I’m just reclaiming what’s mine, the Conner Empire, Cyrus, it’s all mine and you dared to take it from me, I can’t let you have what I’m supposed to have, you’ve been stealing from me way too much” she started, standing up.“What does Cyrus have to do with all this” I asked, wincing in pain.“I’ve loved him from the very beginning but you always have to have things your own way” she said, anger in her eyes.“Why didn’t you say something? You could’ve

    “Just try to run to the bathroom, I’ll quickly close up the door” I whispered to her.The moment I unwrapped my arms around her, I rushed to the door, forcing it shut as she rushed into the bathroom.“What’s going on?” I muttered, forcing my back to the door to keep it closed.“Who on earth called reporters to our home?” I muttered under my breath.“Jenna! No wonder the house was empty when we walked in..it was indeed a trap” I said, quickly rushing to the bathroom door as I lightly tapped on the door.“Abigail, how are you coping?” I asked, I could hear light sobbing.“I’m so sorry about that..please just get some clothes and I’ll drive you home” I said, rushing back to the closet to get her some dry clothes.I took up some clothes from the closet and knocked on the door.“Abigail, I have some clothes..” I said “I’ll look away, please wear some clothes so I can take you home” I said, looking away from the door.Then I heard the door open and my hands went empty, she had taken the clo

    Abigail’s POVIt’s been weeks since I had gotten a whiff of the rumor that started years ago, I searched through the database and all records, and they all came back with the same result, the Conners being the rightful owners of the empire.‘I think I should call up Charlie and clear up the misunderstanding,’ I thought to myself when I heard her voice from my phone.I noticed it was coming from the camera set up done by Cyrus.“I’m going to make her lose Conner Empire..once she falls right into our trap” she said onto her phone.I couldn’t phantom who she could be speaking to but I had a pretty good guess.After what Damien had told me about Jenna and her plot, it had become obvious that she was in fact in cohorts with.“You need to let her get into your home, I’ll make sure she walks right into our trap” she repeated into the phone, using the voice changer which made me confirm my suspicions, Jenna had no idea who she was.“Abigail’s going to stay at your fiancé’s house, you are to o

    Damien’s POV‘Why on earth would she send a message to me like this?’ I thought to myself as I sat behind my desk.‘If she was having a fallout with her cousin, why would it affect me?’ My mind had been restless since the moment I had opened the envelope and what if she was right about us being under surveillance, then it would truly be a very disaster.I looked around the room, there was nothing that seemed out of place, the more I scanned the room, the more I doubted her words.For the whole day, I sat restless for fear of being watched but most importantly, I feared that this would cause our collaboration to take a drastic turn, she may not be as available as she was to come around and handle the work with me.After working hours, I took up my bag as it was time to get home, I wasn’t even able to accomplish much as my mind kept wandering back to Abigail and her safety.Taking my car key into my hand, I immediately got a call on my mobile, in an attempt to take my phone together wit

    I looked at the picture and the newspaper in front of me.“She forgot to burn these, didn’t she?” I muttered under my breath.“If that’s all, you can leave” Cyrus said to the staff as she quickly scurried away.I stared at the evidence that showed more of the truth. She must have hidden them and completely forgotten about it.“That was taken in spring break, years ago” Cyrus muttered, holding onto a picture of the three of us smiling together and rustled up news papers that were wrapped close to the pictures with a carving of the headline ‘THE CONNERS ARE NOT THE TRUE OWNERS OF THE EMPIRE, GIVE BACK THE COMPANY TO ELIZAR’ it read.The paper dated back to twenty years ago, I stood there, frozen, unable to understand what was happening.“My parents stole the empire?” I muttered.“Let’s not jump into conclusions Abby…it may be something else, this happened twenty years ago, it may not even be real” Cyrus said, taking the paper off my hands.“I mean we don’t know that..this may be what’s

    Jenna’s POVI had done as C had instructed, I put in a listening device in Damien’s car key very early this morning. I didn’t understand how C had gotten the package so fast and so late at night and how he knew my address but I didn’t care, if he was able to get the number on my new phone, he definitely had his means that I couldn’t question.“Ma’am” the helper called out, snapping me back to reality.“Yes” I shot her a nasty glare.“Your phone’s been ringing..I brought it down for you” she said, handing me the phone, the caller ID was unknown.I quickly dismissed her with a signal as I answered the phone call.“Have you done what I’ve asked?” C asked.“Yes” I paused to look around me, the living room was empty.“Although I haven’t been able to get any sounds from him since after I heard his car move but it seems that your fiancé has started to lose interest in you” he said.“Wh..what do you mean? What did he say?” I asked, even when deep down I knew the truth, he wasn’t as attracted
