LOVE: Revenge in Disguise のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Ashton was taken aback when he heard what Abby had just said. He scrambled to his feet and sat facing the woman who sat leaning against the edge of the bed. "You didn't mean that, did you, Abby?" asked Ashton again, trying to convince himself that Abigail was probably playing a prank on him, just like she used to do when they were teenagers—Abby used to tease him a lot, but he always managed to get back at her. However, there was no answer from Abigail; she remained still with a sorrowful expression. "I'm sorry, Ash. I don't want us to end this relationship. You know, I just—" Abigail sighed, looking at her lover's face with a melancholy feeling. "Will you listen to me first?" She adjusted the blanket covering her chest, took her lover's fingers, and kissed them. "I still have some things to do, Ash. For my parents and my brother." Ashton frowned when he heard Abigail's words. "What's that? Maybe I can help you so things can get done faster, and we can get married." She shook h

Abigail ran as fast as she could to catch up with Ashton, who had probably already boarded the plane. She still hoped he was waiting in the lounge, awaiting her arrival, at least for a kiss goodbye.However, when she arrived at the airport, she only got disappointed because she didn't find Ashton anywhere. She had barely left the airport when he stood right before her."Abby-bear... what are you doing here? Do you want to come—"Abigail shook her head quickly, then rushed into her lover's warm embrace. "I want to come with you, Ash. Believe me. However, you know I still have responsibilities for what I've started?""You're right." Ashton nodded while flashing a poignant smile, returning Abby's hug for the last time.This was truly the bitterest breakup he had ever felt. He never thought that he would have to end up alone again, leaving Abigail with a dream that never materialized. His dream to marry the only woman he loved in this world, after his mother, must run aground only because

It wasn't even five o'clock yet, but Zachary was already in Abigail's room by now. Sitting sweetly watching the girl who would soon become his girlfriend busy with a stack of files. Not to mention the several folders he had brought this afternoon."Seriously, you're gonna be killing me, Zac! This file... last month's file, right? Why are you handing it over today?" Abigail asked, looking at the man in front of her with a sharp glare."Sidney kept it. I thought she had handed it over to you. It's like she didn't want me to meet you, so she hid all the files," Zac explained, hoping to gain Abby's forgiveness."That girl is quite dangerous. I'm afraid to deal with her."Zachary got up from where he was and went over to where Abigail was sitting; he then crouched down, took her fingers and squeezed them gently."Now she won't be around us anymore, Abby. It's just me and you.""Where are the others?" Abigail asked, teasing Zac as she looked around the room for anyone else."Uhm... they jus

"I told you not to come. Why are you so desperate?" asked Abby as she and Zac sat on the shore enjoying the cool but warm afternoon air. "I wanted to be alone. This relationship makes me feel different.""Don't you like our relationship?" urged Zac, unsatisfied with Abby's attitude towards him lately. Abby seemed trying to keep her distance, and he had to know why.Abby shook her head. "I don't know, Zac. You should have understood me well enough all along. I've never had an intense relationship with anyone. Just best friends, never a boy. I feel so awkward.""Then let's get used to it. Abby, humans are bound to experience different phases in life. And we have to experience that. Think of it as a phase of your life where you have to accept someone into your life.""Is this a form of coercion?""I'm not coercing. Just giving you a look so that you don't feel that our relationship is a burden.""We used to be partners.""Even now, we're still partners, but, Abby, we're going to be life

"Abby, are you okay, kiddo? I heard you lost again in the stock market," said a man talking to Abby, who was struggling with her work.She was a little rushed after spending the night with Zac, and last night was the first time she made love to the man who had officially become her lover with pent-up anger—all this time, she had only sought pleasure, nothing more. There was never even any love.However, last night was completely different. Unfortunately, Zac saw Abby's inner turmoil as an overwhelming passion that made him burn with desire and do it repeatedly.She was tired now. Her energy was drained."Damn Emerson!" Abby swore softly before responding to the man on the other line. "I'm fine, Uncle. Losing sucks, especially since he's my fiancé now. I hate him even more and want to end it right now.""So you're still planning that revenge?" Alex asked incredulously. He didn't like his niece and Zac's relationship, but he would accept it if Abby loved him. "Please stop it, Abby. I do
