Third POV***Abigail’s brow furrowed, her gaze shifting from the phone to John as she tried to make sense of what she had just heard. She could feel the uneasiness welling up within her, like a knot of fear in her stomach. Abigail swallowed hard, her voice strained as she spoke. “John, what’s going on?”Every inch of her body wanted to know what was going on. She bit her lip, her hands becoming cold and clammy.John was a little taken aback, he didn't expect Abigail to hear their conversation.He shifted uneasily in his seat, a hint of discomfort visible in his expression. “It’s…nothing, really,” he said, his voice shaking slightly. “Henry wants to see me in the office,” he continued speaking even though he was trying his best to hide the discomfort that he felt.“I wanted to discuss something important with Uncle C, but I guess I’ll have to talk to him later.” John glanced toward the older man, his expression showed his reluctance to leave but he knew he had to.She wanted to ask
Third POV***Abigail woke up two hours later, still lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. She was totally confused about everything that had happened. ‘What happened?’Her mind was reeling with different types of memories and she couldn't remember how she ended up on the soft comfortable bed.Her last memory before waking up in bed was sitting in front of the laptop, typing away as she searched for any information she could find on Mr. Cleff. Suddenly, the images flashed before her eyes and she remembered getting a pop-up notification. And then, that was it, she blacked out.But, how did she end up in the room?Abigail turned her face to the side. There he was, sitting on the edge of the bed and invested in the newspaper."Mr Cleff" Abigail called in a low voice and he turned to look at her with a mix of surprise and happiness.“I didn’t expect you to wake so soon,” Mr. Cleff remarked as he placed his hand over Abigail’s wrist, his fingers gently pressing into her pulse. His br
Third POV***"Aurora, I'm not here to argue words with you, I'm here because I want to see doctor Grayson." Abigail scoffed, clearly pissed because of Aurora's disgusting attitude.When Aurora heard Dr. Grayson's name, she snorted in disgust, rolling her eyes at the sound of it. She even went ahead to flip her long blonde hair like a sassy queen in order to make Abigail pissed.But little did she know that Abigail would not give her the satisfaction that she wanted.Instead, Abigail sat back on her seat and hummed a tune.She decided not to let Aurora ruin her good mood."Aurora Pendragon!" A deep, authoritative voice cut through the waiting room, its presence felt by all.A man in a clean gray suit, white lab coat, and meticulously gelled hair approached the two women. His polished shoes clacked against the floor, his expression carved in a scowl. As he drew closer, Abigail could make out his features, his eyes narrowed and lips set in a thin line.Abigail turned her face away, re
Third POV***"Did...did you just call me a thief?" Abigail asked in disbelief.All through her years in highschool, Aurora has done nothing but to destroy her life.What has she done to deserve this?Mr Cleff shook his head, even though he didn't know Abigail, she was a gentle girl and the woman standing beside Mr Grayson was obviously the evil one."Wait! Please let's go to my office, I apologize for any inconveniences that she may have caused." Mr Grayson said coldly, he didn't wait for any of their approval before turning around and walking towards his office in large strides.Abigail stood frozen in place, it took all she had to not punch Aurora in the face.Her hands were curled up in fist and her little veins were bulging through them.She seethed with anger as she saw Aurora follow Grayson, behaving like a moth attracted to a flame.If she wasn't here for something so important, she would have put Aurora to a place where she belonged."Abigail, I'm sorry for everything that ha
Third POV***They had an awkward silence between them and no one dared to speak, not until Dr Grayson cleared his throat.“I apologize for the delay.” Dr Grayson's voice was calm, though his expression showed unease. “I was able to find what you asked for, but I'm afraid I cannot hand it over to you.” Mr Cleff's expression twisted with anger, his mouth pressed into a tight line. He was clearly not happy with this unexpected turn of events, and his eyes narrowed as he shot Dr Grayson a look of disappointment.Dr Grayson had clearly stated that Mr Cleff would have full access to all office files, including those from the past. But now, he was changing the rules, leaving Mr Cleff confused. Why was Dr Grayson going back on their agreement? Before Mr Cleff could speak, Grayson beat him to it.“The file is password-protected,” Dr Grayson said, his voice carrying a hint of apology. “I can't access it either, even with my clearance. I'm sorry, but I can't break the encryption.” To make t
Abigail's POV***I stepped into the living room, my footsteps echoing on the cold marble floor.My vision blurred with unshed tears, and I clenched my jaw tight, wrestling to regain my composure.Even though it had only been a day, it felt like I'd been gone forever. The familiar scent of wood, deeply rooted in my memories of the mansion, filled my nostrils. I closed my eyes and exhaled a breath of contentment.Knowing that I was back in the mansion gave me so much peace.A bright smile greeted me as a young maid approached, her eyes discreetly glancing towards my purse. "Welcome back, Miss Abigail. Let me help you," she said warmly. “I got it,” I said, brushing off the maid’s offer to carry my bag. "Is Audrey doing alright?" I asked, my eyes getting a little teary as I awaited her reply."Ma'am, Audrey is sleeping peacefully. I will inform him of your arrival once he wakes up."I gulped down the lump in my throat as I heard her response. Waving my hand dismissively, she left with
Third POV***The next morning, they were all seated at the dining table.Abigail cracked up as Audrey kept the jokes coming, tears of joy streaming down her face. Her son had a real talent for making people laugh, and she was enjoying every moment of it. She could feel Henry’s eyes on her, making her a bit self-conscious. Trying to focus on Audrey’s joke, she bit her lip to hide her nervousness and hoped that her laughter didn’t sound too forced. But Henry wasn't going to let her be, he kept staring at her like she was some prized puppy."...and that's the end of the story mum." Audrey said, his eyes shining under the light.Abigail flashed him a smile, it was almost time for his homeschool lesson and so she gestured for him to eat up.Soon, the head maid came to take Audrey away and only Henry and Abigail were left sitting at the table.Abigail stared down at her food, the more she thought about it, the more her cheeks turned red.She tried hiding her embarrassment by concentratin
Henry pulled Abigail in close, wrapping her up in a warm hug. His fingers grazed softly across her face, lingering over her features with a tenderness that showed how much he cared about her. Abigail's eyes fluttered open, her body feeling weak all of a sudden.She even found it difficult to stand on her own, her breathing increasing."I will go get my phone. I need to call a doctor." Panic was written all over Henry's face as he stared at her pale skin.He was about to lay her gently on the ground when she held his hand gently.Henry's gaze dropped from Abigail's face, his eyes narrowing as he focused on her hand. "Don't go Henry, I'm okay. It's just an exercise. I'm just tired, that's all." Abigail said with a reassuring smile.She struggled to sit up, wiping the sweat that was on her face with her palms.Managing to fake a smile, she tried convincing him, hoping to put his mind at rest.Henry wasn't sure if this was a good idea. He knew that she needed to see a doctor."I...I"He
