Abigail stared at him curiously. Only then did she realize that Charles was a good-looking man. He was taller than Aidan, with a broad shoulder and lean waist. His perfectly symmetrical face with an angular jaw covered with the shortly trimmed beard made him enticingly handsome. She smiled and said, “You are indeed handsome, but sorry, I won’t fall in love with you even if you follow me 24/7. Because I love Aidan very much.”
“This is the same for me too. I know you are my boss’ fiancee and soon to be his wife. I dare not fall in love with you.” He sighed and added, “We should go now. It’s getting late.”
Abigail wanted to stay a little longer. But after thinking that, his girlfriend might be waiting for him, she didn’t oppose him and hummed shortly in response. Then they walked out of the
The ringtone of the phone sounded loud in the quiet room, and Charles groaned in annoyance. It was Saturday, and he had no intention to wake up early. He pressed his ears with the pillow and kept sleeping, totally avoiding the phone call. He didn’t even check the caller. The phone stopped ringing after a while, only to ring again. Charles’s irritation piqued, and he thought about scolding the person. He reached out to take the phone from the side table and looked at the caller ID, only to see Aidan’s number.Charles’s eyes grew wide, and he sat upon the bed frantically. He didn’t have time to think of anything and answered the call, “Hello.”“Someone is hospitalized because of you, and you are sleeping peacefully! Come to the Lifecare hospital right now.”
Abigail’s breathing hitched up to hear the name Aidan, and she turned her head to look, only to see him coming inside the restaurant, holding a gorgeous blonde woman in his arm. They walked elegantly, chatting and smiling. The woman wore a red, deep cut ‘V’ neck, backless dress, and smiled coquettishly at him while he looked at her affectionately. They looked like a romantic couple deeply in love.Abigail was too shocked to react and only stared at them with astonishment. Her eyes then drifted down at his arm that coiled like a snake around the woman’s waist. Anger and jealousy broke out inside her like a volcano. She wanted to throw that woman away from Aidan and scratch her face beyond recognition. Rebeca sensed her anger and reached out to hold her hand to comfort her, but before that, Abigail stood up and approached them with long strides.
Angelina’s face became paler to hear that, and a glimmer of sadness darkened her eyes. She indeed concealed her ailment from him. But could she hide it forever? The answer was no. Sooner or later, he would find out about her illness. She opened her mouth to tell him but before she could utter a word his phone started ringing and she closed her mouth, feeling depressed in her heart.Charles looked at the phone and frowned deeply. ‘Why is she calling me?’ He asked in his mind. Then his eyes moved the Angelina and said, “Excuse me. I have to take this call.”Angelina smiled and signaled him to carry on with a glance. Charles nodded at her before pressing the answer button, “Hello.”The moment the call connected, he heard loud music from the other side of the
Her breathing hitched up, and she looked at him with wide eyes. Fear was evident in her eyes. She also forgot to breathe. Although she said those words willfully, still, she was always afraid to be touched by another man except Aidan.Charles’s face was dangerously close to hers, his lips almost brushing her lips. She pursed her lips into a thin line, looking at him, utterly confused. His gaze moved to her eyes, and he saw the horror in them. He sneered, “Why are you scared now? Didn’t you want to sleep with me? Let me taste your lips.”He intentionally said those words to scare her more. She swallowed her saliva and kept looking at him with the same fear in her teary eyes. She didn’t even dare to take long breaths. Charles’s eyes softened and sighed. His heart twinge to see tears in her eyes. He wiped the tears away fr
This was the first time Abigail felt discomfort when Adian kissed her. Maybe it was because they had not kissed for a long time, or maybe she couldn’t trust him any longer after seeing him with Erica. Whatever it was, she didn’t want him to kiss her.Aidan’s expression turned even gloomier, and he asked, “Why? We are engaged, aren’t we? Or do you still want to retain your virginity for our wedding night?”She pursed her lips and nodded, looking down at her lap.Aidan let out a soft chuckle and caressed her cheek with his slender finger. “You didn’t change at all. You are still my sweet Abi.” He kissed her forehead and said, “Alright, go and freshen up. We will have breakfast together.”Abigail was st
Abigail looked at him who was busy brewing coffee in the kitchen and was not aware of her intense gaze. The smile on her face was still there. She sat on the couch and kept looking at him, holding her chin on her right palm and placing her elbow on the armrest of the couch. When she first met him, she hated him and didn’t want to see his face. But now, she was not tired of watching him. In fact, she started enjoying his company.It didn’t take much longer for him to brew the coffee, and he came out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee in his hands. He passed one cup to her and said, “I hope you will like it.” He grinned widely.“Hmm. Let me taste first.” She took a sip of the hot coffee carefully and licked her lips as if she was savoring its taste. “Hmm… Not bad.” She smiled and
The next morning, Aidan called Charles at his office and instructed, “Our contract with ‘Vision Networks’ is coming to an end. I already talked about renewing the contract with Mr. Mills. Go and sign the contract.”Vision Networks was a service provider to many small and large companies of city M, and ‘Thompson and Co’ was one of them. The net profit of this company was huge and which is why Aidan set his eyes on this company. Abigail was the only child of Robert Mills, and naturally, she was the future CEO of this company. If he married her, he would register the company in his name and would become the owner of Vision Networks. She would remain as a mere puppet of his hands.Robert Mills, on the other end, was worried, thinking that after his death, his younger brother and his nephew would acquire the company and trea
A few more days passed, and finally, the weekend came. It was the day of the get-together party, and Abigail was getting ready. The smile on her face was telling how happy she was. She was thrilled because she was going to spend the entire evening with Charles, not because of the party.She wore a deep green, floral lace bodice, off-shoulder swing dress. The hem of the dress ended right above her knees. The dress wrapped her well-curved body perfectly. She pinned her hair into a partial updo, and her slightly wavy hair fell freely on her shoulder. Her originally pretty face looked prettier with the light makeup she put on.In the meantime, Charles called her and informed her that he had already arrived at the mansion. Abigail grabbed her purse and hurried out of the mansion. She saw him leaning on his black sedan, crossing his arms across his chest.
