It had been three days since she ran off. F*cking three days when she did not get to see his face. No messages or calls from him.
This morning when she came down, the elderly, vivacious and lively couple greeted her warmly as always.She could not eat much and opted only for tea.
“Abigail. We want to take you out for dinner tonight.” Caroline told her while sipping her juice.
Abigail nodded looking around, “What are these?”
There were several cookie trays on the kitchen island with a heavenly aroma, “Go ahead. Try them. We usually kill our time baking these.”
Abigail stood and tasted one, “Umm. These are divine, granma.” She closed her eyes while chewing them, “Can I have more?”
“Oh, dear.” Aiden chuckled.
That morning they told her about Hunter’s childhood and that made her even more miserable. She took her sweet time while listening to their sto
They were walking on the sidewalk, hand in hand, carrying coffee cups. Both of them were quiet, busy with their thoughts. He was looking even sexier with the same cold and lethal aura.“Why you bought me this coffee?” her question stopped him giving her a chance to step before him, facing him.“Because someone was so much mad at me that all this time, she did not drink her coffee. I wanted some alone time with you, coffee girl.” He tucked her hair strand behind her ear with the same gentle expression. “You don’t like it here?”“Place doesn’t count anymore, Hunter. It’s you.” She said smiling.I learned it the hard way! She told him quietly.“It’s me? Really? Am I more important than your coffee then?” His eyes twinkled.“Nah. Never.” Her answer made him chuckle.Just then the drizzling started.“Are you staying in a hotel?&rdqu
Abigail did not try to push him. Taking off her slippers, she implanted her feet on his feet, placing her hands on his shoulders she almost glued her chest to his.She wanted to feel his heartbeat. He tightened his grip staring at her mouth.“Abigail. I want you.” He whispered near her ear which ran a shiver down her spine. “Abigail?”Abigail’s heartbeat accelerated. He was asking for her consent.“Abigail” he whispered kissing her cheek, “My body is craving for you.”“Abi.” He kissed her other cheek, “I promise. I will make you happy tonight.”“Sweetheart.” He gave a peck on her forehead, “I am tired of just imagining your nak*ed hot body against mine.”“Love” he kissed her nose lightly, “Enough of the imaginations. Let’s give in to this desire.”It seemed he was trying to bribe her by showering m
He got up at the first crack of dawn. The woman beside him was so beautiful. He still could not move his gaze away from her face.Last night he enjoyed the time of his life. First, he was confused.He was nervous.Would he be able to satisfy her needs?Was he enough for her?But the way she made sounds in his arms. The way she arched back several times whenever she hit an org*asm.Her screams were a telltale sign that he spent his life in a complex without any reason. Nobody since his childhood paid him any heed.For people, he used to be almost invisible because of his ordinary face and not so special body. But this woman…He smiled and got up to drink some whisky not bothering to put on any clothing. Taking his glass he stood in the balcony giving a damn if someone would catch him standing there nak*ed.Taking small sips, he thought about his work life and then groaned. Nobody believed him.He found the o
She slowly opened her eyes trying to remember where she was. With sleepy eyes, she looked around her and then remembered that she was no more at Adrian Wyatt’s place.And that reminded her what happened last night.Good, God! Last night was crazy.Thinking of which, she turned and found him fast asleep, lying beside her. He was holding her close to his chest. Abigail smiled and started tracing his brows and lashes.Ever since she laid her eyes on this handsome man, she always used to imagine what it would feel like to have his hands all over her. Before arriving in Manhattan, she always thought that whenever it would happen, the next morning would be kind of awkward.Full of regrets.Now no idea about the awkward part. But she was not holding any regret. She kept looking at his handsome face and tried to move away a dark hair strand away from his forehead. But it plopped back there.She started playing with it. Hunter must
The weekend had started. And both of them stayed two days in the hotel penthouse. They were not able to keep their hands off each other.All their meals were brought to them. All this time they either talked or kept making love. Abigail never knew she had got that much stamina.She never knew that some handsome hunk could find her attractive enough to keep touching her.Most of the time, she used to wear his t-shirts and trunks. Hunter made sure to get a smooth supply of coffee for her.He told her about his life experiences, his insecurities. She told him about her dreams. Those two days had become memorable for both of them.***“His father will pick him up in an hour and will drop him to the daycare.” Amanda Roberts told Abigail. The tiny creature was sleeping in the career.Very carefully Abigail collected him in her arms, “Get your work done. Let him stay with me.” Amanda thanked her handing over the baby
“The construction has already started. As you all know that these coffee shops will be having female staff. All these members would be handpicked with a thorough background check. A certain quota would be announced for single moms as suggested by Mrs. Levisay.” A corporate executive was giving the presentation.Abigail was also there. Day by day she was getting ambitious about the program. She felt as if it was becoming her baby. She was wondering if Hunter felt the same. She looked towards him. He was sitting there listening to everything very carefully.His face was expressionless. As always!She had heard people calling him ruthless and cold at his back. Maybe he wanted them to think like that. Otherwise, he used to take care of his employees and treat them like his family. Giving them bonuses was a plus. Most of them thought he was cold blooded… Uncordial.But his colleagues knew that he would go to extra lengths for people he
It had been just two to three days when she had realized that she was falling in love with Hunter. Just a few days ago she started learning how to live her life.She had always enjoyed his company. The moment he told her that he wanted to stay married to her. That moment had become her life.She had not shared the news with Molly. She needed to tell her friend that it was no longer a temporary contract marriage.All of this had turned real. While flying to San Francisco her only concern was, how she would be able to live without him.Without him, office and home both would be dull. But she could not tell him that. He might think of her as some crazy, obsessed bimbo. In this interrogation room, she did not feel scared. Nopes!Why should she? She had got Hunter!“Mrs. Levisay. I am asking something.” The officer sitting across the desk tapped it with his knuckles. The interrogation room was just like what she ha
Slap!“Are you out of your fuck*in mind? You are doing what?”Kyle’s hand was placed on his cheek, which was still stinging due to Chloe’s slap, “I AM LOOKING FOR A LAWYER. FOR ABIGAIL.”Now why his voice was shivering like hell? Chloe could not understand. For some reason, Kyle seemed frightened.Was he on drugs? Or is it his old flame for Abi?Chloe lifted her hand to slap him again but this time Kyle held it roughly, “Do it again and you are finished.”“And you arrange a lawyer for her and YOU are finished. You moron!” She shot back. Nobody could suppress Chloe Mason.“Stop acting so childish, Chloe. Soon you would be a mother too. Can you act like a grown up? Just for once?” Kyle was back after a long meeting with a lawyer.That man was not ready to even lay a hand on the case. And who would do that in their right mind? The case involved Hunter Levisay
