“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

    “Thanks a lot Abby” Cyrus said as we sat beside Damien.“Where is he?” Roseline came rushing in.“He’s in the ER, the doctor said he’ll be fine” Cyrus answered.“Where’s Jenna?” She asked, repeating the same questions I had on my lips the moment I came.“She’s gone” I answered, my voice as calm as possible.“What do you mean gone?” She asked “And who are you?” She added, holding up her Chanel bag as she pointed at me.“I’m Abigail, a friend of Cyrus…the message from Jenna made him drink so much he got into an accident, she left for another country” I answered, throwing off the manner at which she spoke to me to the wind, I was quite older than her, yet she acted so bossy and rude, I totally ignored it.“She’s the reason he’s in here like this?” She asked, now sobbing. Cyrus seeing this, held her gently, taking her to a seat.While I stared at the room door where Damien laid unconscious. We had decided to stay outside to let only family members and friends that we know come in to visit

    “What do you like in Damien anyway?” Cyrus asked as we got our daily dose of caffeine by the cafè .“He’s so manly and hot” I answered casually, having a sip of my latte.Cyrus and Damien were close friends, the type I couldn’t understand why they were close, Damien was a man who was too invested in his father’s company and interned there to show his dedication.On the other hand, Cyrus was a tech genius, uninterested in his father’s company, they both were quite polar opposites, Damien had tons of luck when it came to women and Cyrus..he struggled to even voice his thoughts to women.“Who doesn’t like him?...well, other than the fact that he’s dating Jenna, the proud witch, he’s a good looking guy and he’s quite charming” I added.“Why don’t you want anyone knowing your true identity?” He asked “Even in Uni, you never let your name be voiced out” he added.“I wouldn’t make real friends if everyone knows I’m the heiress right the Conner Empire” I answered.“Why do you think so? I and

    Damien’s POV“Where were you all night?” Jenna asked the moment I stepped inside the house, taking off my jacket.“None of your business” I answered, brushing past her.“Are you seriously not going to tell us where you were all night?” Roseline asked, folding her arms.I looked at them both, it seems they must have forgotten who has always been in charge. “I was out drinking” I answered casually, walking past them.“You we’re out with your mistress..Abigail” Jenna chipped in, her eyes staring directly at me as she spoke.I paused, she had just had to tick me off, I turned to her to give a welcoming answer “First off…if there’s anyone who’s a mistress, it’s you Jenna, second..you have no right of asking me that. When you disappeared for a whole year did I pressure you to tell where’d you been?” I asked.There was a long pause, a rather awkward silence.“That’s what I thought” I added, before walking past them.They had no right to make her sound bad when all she ever did was do good

    Abigail’s POVI smiled at Charlie as she gripped me tighter, her hands holding me firmly, Cyrus, patiently watching us both as mother sat beside me.“Where’s dad?” I asked as I was released from her strong embrace.“He had business in Seychelles..but he was quite worried, we all were” mother answered, tucking my hair behind my ear as she caressed the side of my face.I felt my eyes become watery, a tear trickling down my cheek.“Thank you” I said, my eyes letting the tears flow.“What’s this about? Are you okay?” Cyrus asked.“I’m so grateful for you all..I don’t know what I’d do without you” I said in between sobs. This reminded me of the time I had to be hospitalized because I was overworked and overwhelmed and collapsed in Damien’s house, yet the only thing I got was to get called a weakling and husband snatcher, when he was my husband.But this time was different, I had my family with me and they all wanted me to be better, to recover as best as I could, not so quickly so I could

    Damien’s POVAs I walked through the hospital doors, I really needed to meet the doctor that diagnosed Jenna, how could she be well so quickly? Except something’s wrong.“Doctor Patterson’s office?” I asked the nurse who stood idly staring at me and down at my unbuttoned shirt.“Th..at way” she answered, pointing to the left hallway.“Thank you” I said, rushing towards where she had pointed.I truly had to be in a rush when I saw her on the stretcher, her head covered in blood.“Wh..ere am I?” She asked. I turned to the lady on the stretcher, I did know that voice, it rang in my ears.“Abigail?” I asked, now foregoing my first mission and following her, her eyelids already closed.“What happened?” I asked whilst following them.“Are you a family member?” A nurse asked.“Yes..I’m her husband” I answered without hesitation, I technically am still her husband, that is, until those papers are signed by me.“Okay..fill these” she answered, handing me a form, I nodded, taking it from her.“
