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
The director had an evil smile on his face. He stood up and creeped around behind Lisa. She was nervous as hell, her fingers twitching, ready to grab her pepper spray if he got too close.His hands caressed the strap of her clothes.Lisa, realizing what was going on, stood up immediately, her eyes blazing with fire."What are you doing?""C'mon Lisa, you know what I mean. Don't expect me to spell it out" The director said casually, rolling his eyes as he saw Lisa make a fuss about it."If this is what you are planning to do then I'm not going to sit here and let you lay your filthy hands on me." Lisa's eyes were already crimson red.She found it disgusting to know that an ugly man like the director of the Han group was proposing to have a relationship with her.Lisa wasn't that desperate to beg for a role. She would rather walk out and never look back.Grabbing her purse from the table, she proceeded to leave but she felt a strong grip on her hand before she could take the next step.
Abigail's POV***I rubbed my nose and sniffed back the tears that welled up in my eyes. My heart felt heavy and I found it hard to even swallow the invincible lump in my throat.Lately, I have been feeling emotional and I couldn't quite place why.There was just this feeling of emptiness. What was making me feel that way? I had zero idea.My reflection in the mirror made me almost puke and I stared away. The dark circles under my eyes were so visible and it made me want to burst into another round of tears. Would Henry continue to love me?He must probably hate my new attitude.With a frown on my face, I walked out of the room and I was about to lay on the bed when a tall figure collided with my face, making me halt my step."Ouch" I pouted and touched my head, my eyes looking up to see Henry with a wide grin on his face.He was wearing a casual hoodie and a pair of joggers. But it wasn't just a casual hoodie, it had some romantic designs on it and judging by the material, one cou
Third POV***Abigail's stomach felt filled up and she stared at Henry, a chocolate stain smeared close to her lip.She hadn't taken notice of it and so she continued biting the huge chocolate stick.Henry then thought of an idea, he grinned maniacally and then said in a cold voice."Look over there, Abi" Abigail turned to look at the direction he pointed at, her brows knitted together as she saw absolutely nothing, just the people going on with their normal activities.The children jumping and playing and the cars moving along the road.Before she could turn back to look at him, she felt his warm tongue on her cheek, sulking it up like he was about to eat her face.Abigail was stunned, she stood there, unable to move. What had he just done?Henry licked them off with his lips seductively and then moved away from her. Making sure to relish the taste in his mouth.It seemed like Abigail's face added a special charm to the chocolate and made it even more sweet.Henry had never been a fa
