All Chapters of Twice Upon A Star: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

ABIGEALTHE ROOM erupted in chaos. Some people rushed to help the colonel up while others just gave me wide glances and wider berths as I passed them, talking loudly about what had just happened. Anna appeared beside me with a fierce smile. “You did great! Did punching him feel good?”“It felt amazing.”“I thought so. Now let's get out of here before someone realizes they should probably detain you.” “Good plan.” We walked quickly towards the door and had just reached it when someone shouted my name. I paused, but Anna nudged me. “Come on, we have to go.”I ignored her and turned to Matt. He was walking towards me with intent written all over his face. “Abigeal he's going to prevent you from leaving. We need to move, now!” Anna said with urgency, nudging me again.But I kept my eyes on my ex until he stopped walking. I watched the conflict on his face, watched his mouth lift in a sad smile. “I just wanted to say…You look beautiful tonight," he said.I swallowed down the emotions i

ABIGEAL“NO.” I deadpanned, crossing my arms. “I'm not doing it.” I saw Anna roll her eyes out of the corner of my eye, but I kept mine on the threat in front of me. Blaine's face was exasperated, but he was smiling. “Just get in the water, Abigeal. It's not going to bite you," he said.I took another two steps away from the edge of the pool and shook my head. “I'm not doing it,” I repeated.“Don't make us do this the hard way.” He said, getting a mischievous glint in his eye as he moved closer. I recognized that glint.“If you try to push me in, I'm going to scream bloody murder.” I warned.“I don't think anyone here is going to object to that, darling.” He responded with a smirk.“I'd love to hear that actually," Anna commented. “The great Abigeal Starr, screaming at being tossed in a few feet of water.”I glared at her, then slid my gaze to Michael who was sitting behind Anna. “What's your stance on this? He can't do anything if it's two for two.”Anna turned back to look at him.

ABIGEAL“WHEN YOU said that I should dress up because you had a surprise for me, I didn't envision walking half a mile in heels.” I said to Blaine.He was walking beside me holding my hand, and he glanced at me with a teasing smirk. “What? Is the mighty Abigeal complaining about a little walk in heels?”I went along with it and stuck up my chin. “I fear nothing," I said in a dramatic voice. “Except maybe damaging these heels because they cost an arm and a leg.”He raised a brow. “I bought those heels, how would you know what they cost?”“If you knew you didn't want me finding out the cost, you shouldn't leave receipts lying around that carelessly.” I said lightly.He looked like he couldn't decide whether to be amused or fed up. “Why do I even bother? Anyway, we'll be there soon. Or I could carry you.”I looked around at the people walking up and down the street with us and immediately shook my head. He laughed. “It's New York, baby. No one is going to bat an eye at a guy princess ca

ABIGEALTHE NEXT morning, I went to see Anna. If I was going to take on a mission of this size, I was going to need help. And she was the only person I trusted enough to take my side on this, and not turn me away because of what I did.She opened the door before I knocked and looked surprised to see me. “Abigeal? Hey. I was just going to have a fight with the landlord. He has cut down the hot water supply and it ran out halfway through my shower. Thank God there weren't hot showers in the military so I'm not spoiled.” She raved, stepping out with me and closing the door.“Of course you can't relate. I bet the water runs hot twenty four hours a day in Blaine's Palace," she said without heat.I pretended to consider it. “I think it does, actually. It's one of those things you don't really notice, you know, because it's right there.”She glared at me but could only hold it for a couple of seconds before we started to laugh. “You know what, I can go fight him later. It's not like he's goi

ABIGEALSOMETHING ABOUT the man standing in the doorway made me unsettled. Maybe it was the way the hooded people bowed out of the way reverently or the way Morgan's body language changed and he cast his eyes to the ground.Or maybe it was the pleasant smile on his face despite the situation.A thought niggled at the back of my head but I couldn't place it. I walked around until I was behind Morgan and held the knife to his throat. “Who are you?” I asked.His eyes slid to me. “Ah, Abigeal. It's always a pleasure.”The voice tickled my memory box. A sense of trepidation washed over me and I couldn't figure out why. “Have we met?”The man laughed easily. “You could say that. Although we met more recently, but I'm not surprised you don't remember.”It came to me suddenly. The only reason why I hadn't placed him immediately was because I'd only gotten a partial look at his face that day when Anna, Michael and I had bumped into Morgan at the restaurant.“I can see you remember. Now may I a
