Contract with Alpha Asher의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

Abigail's POV"Your mother... the one you thought was dead... she is alive."Time stopped.The words echoed in my head, bouncing around like they were trying to find a place to land. I blinked rapidly, unsure whether I had heard him right. My heart raced, my breath caught in my throat.Alive?I couldn't comprehend what was happening. My emotions tangled into a knot: anger for the years of silence, confusion from the truth, and a sudden, overwhelming joy... because the woman who gave birth to me, who I believed was long buried in memory, was out there somewhere. Breathing. Existing.He stretched out his hand, handing me the photographs he was holding. "He wanted you to have this," he said quietly. "This is your mother, Abigail."My hands trembled as I took the photo. I stared. The world blurred around me.The woman in the picture was stunning, radiant even in the stillness of a snapshot. She looked to be in her late twenties, with soft eyes that mirrored my own. It was like looking at

Christopher’s PovI ran as fast as my legs could carry me, ignoring the propulsion from the wind as I grew panicky at the situation. It was a lot more than I expected it to turn out and I felt the heat of the situation right in my bones, trying to make my life miserable while I was determined to fight for my life. I have been overpowered by Abigail and Asher, how was I supposed to ever come back from this and make a rebuttal that would be as powerful as they didn't think. My intentions turned against me, and I suddenly came to a halt. No one was going to find me here. I had to employ other strategies. Giving up was not an option, neither was killing myself. If anyone had any contrary opinion then they had me to deal with. I was not going to waste my time and or energy on something that would practically not yield any results. Sitting on a stone, I thought about my life and the decline. I needed to find somebody who would help me out in this case. A little bird descended, catch

Abigail's POV. Asher lay beside me with his eyes completely closed off, but his shoulder blades still tightened as he looked around, hoping that he was able to get away with this scenario without having to look over his shoulder. I decided to wait until he was out in whatever state he found himself in before I confronted him about the obvious situation right now. "We've got to go to the dungeon together. Daniel called." I declared immediately after I saw his eyes pop open. I had various ideas running through my mind, but there was only one that remained at the forefront, kind of including me setting my foot down and then having this discussion that he desperately wanted to avoid. If there was a better way for me to fix this, I would have done it a long time ago but here I was with no idea besides taking his words were it and hoping that his friend would be able to supply me with some information even though I knew it was not going to happen anytime soon. Asher stared

Abigail's POV.The only limiting factor to the man in front of me was the fact that he found it hard to come clean and explain everything that had been going on, and would rather die than let it all out At first, I wanted to get mad at him, but later I figured out that I would also panic if I were in the same situation; therefore, I needed to cut him some slack and instead find a way of making him realize that I was there for him and not against him. I went into the kitchen and prepped some mean bacon that would have even the worst person reeling in shock at my prowess. It wasn't going to be easy, that I could tell, but at the same time, I intended to make him feel very elated about it. I had just one agenda, which was to make him forget his momentary sorrow. Twenty minutes later, after laborious cooking and sweating, Asher descended the stairs, looking perplexed that I was able to whip up something so fast, and to my benefit, I loved how his eyes lit up immediately when he spott

Abigail's POV. Stepping into the dungeon was almost like taking a risk but I would rather take that instead of sitting here and hoping that the information I so much desired will be dumped on my lap. I had more than enough reason to be a little worried but I refused to give myself to that. Instead I faced my man head on, our eyes locking into a staring match. "What are you doing here Abigail?""Has she come to see the people who have arrived to destroy her peace? She probably doesn't understand anything going on in this place and that's why she believes that you are one of the best people to ever walk on earth. She has to realize the things that you have dumped behind her back and she would get disappointed just as she should have been in the beginning and run away from you!" Edward yelled as soon as he heard her voice. While I didn't think it was his fault, at the same time, I didn't want anything that was going to disturb me because as far as I was concerned, I had only one job
