Third POV***With a groggy yawn, her eyes fluttered open and she stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling tired after staying awake throughout the long dreadful night and later falling asleep earlier this morning.It wasn't that she was anxious or concerned. It was more of a nagging uncertainty, a worry that things between her and Henry might not be as she wanted. Wasn't she going too far?She wanted to stay as far away from him as possible but there she was, staying in his home.'Did I make a good decision by staying here with my son?''Have I done the right thing?' Those were the questions on her mind, she found it hard to sleep at night, especially in a house that was this big.This was the first time she'd ever been separated from her son, and she couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry. Though she knew that he was in good hands with the maids, who had told her that he was in his private room, she still couldn't shake the feeling of unease.Knock knock!As Abigail layed in bed, a
Third POV***The office was filled with the sound of boisterous laughter, coming from a man somewhere within."Listen, bro. This cool, tough-guy act isn't doing you any favors. Women won't be interested in a handsome cold-blooded dude who is unapproachable. You need to smile more brother and stop with all this act." Zayn mocked in a sarcastic manner while trying to suppress his laughter but Henry ignored him without batting an eyelid, instead, he concentrated on his computer screen.Zayn Brundeen was Henry's cousin and his closest friend, he was the only one who could make fun of Henry and go Scott free without having to lose his tongue.And he always took advantage of that opportunity and wouldn't stop teasing Henry at every chance he got.Henry often wondered how he and Zayn had become friends in the first place. The two of them were polar opposites - Henry, the introverted homebody with a cool and aloof demeanor, and Zayn, the charismatic social butterfly who knew everyone and had
Third POV***"That is a joke, right? Nah you must be kidding?" Zayn asked nervously while studying Henry's face. He suddenly realized that Henry was telling the truth when he saw his indifferent face.Zayn could hardly believe it, everyone knew he was asexual and he had never slept with a lady in his life then how could he have a child? How in the world was this even possible?"How old is the child? ""He is about four years old," Henry answered, his eyes glistening as he thought about Audrey.Audrey was his replica and they even had the same attitude.Zayn's eyes narrowed, his tone sharp with disbelief and accusation. "You have a son, and you never told any of us? How could you keep something like that a secret?" He was beyond furious to know that his cousin had been lying about being asexual when he clearly wasn't.Zayn felt betrayed, he thought they were best friends but right now he was starting to have doubts about their friendship.If Henry didn't want to tell anyone then he
Third POV***"The dress fits perfectly, I knew it would look good on you Abigail."Abigail froze mid-step, her body going rigid as she registered what Henry had just said. Her eyes then widened in disbelief as she tried to process his words. His eyes bore deep into her body, eyeing her curves and scrutinizing her as if he could see through her clothes.Abigail's cheeks turned red, she continued walking and greeted him as she got to her seat.She sat down and went through some of the files, though her heart was pounding faster after remembering what happened between them last night.He made matters worse by staring at her with so much intensity that made her heart thump faster, it was like he never wanted to take his eyes off her or maybe he was enjoying the sight of seeing her crumble under his gaze.Abigail's hands were shaky, she couldn't help but say, "Can you please stop looking at me that way Mr Henry, it is making me uncomfortable."Henry chuckled and kept his hands up in a su
Abigail's POV***Warning! This chapter contains explicit words and s*xI didn't know why he had been acting angry all through the day, it was like something had pissed him off.Right now he was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any second.I wandered around the house, watching the maids as they cooked dinner.They seemed to notice my presence and they all greeted me as I walked by.I greeted them back with much affection, I didn't want them to think of me as a rude person.This house was all big and lonely, after chatting with Joyce, I didn't know what to do and I decided to tour the house on my own.It seemed like the maids and workers were all afraid of approaching me, all except Aria.She was starting to see me as a friend or so I thought.I couldn't find Aria either, she must have been busy with work.I heard that there was a library in the mansion and that was what I was looking for.Walking down the stairs, I ended up in an infinity corridor."This must be it, I thought to
Abigail's POV***Warning! This chapter contains explicit words and s*xThe heated intensity of last night seemed more like a dream as I stirred and sat up. Henry was sleeping soundly beside me while his chest rose and fell.There was something about the rhythm of his breathing, his well-defined jaw, and the sexy way his eyebrows arched as he slept that made me bend forward for a closer look, tracing his jaw lines and smiling sheepishly to myself when my gaze focused on his lips… rough way he had kissed me. My hands caressed and brushed against his lips and I was going to take advantage of him sleeping to trace my fingers all over his chest. “I was wondering what was smelling so good...” His strong arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer. “ I-I… there was a bit of dirt on your face” My cheeks heated being so close to him, I felt shy and embarrassed.“Oh… is that so? Did you get a good look?” I chuckled and rolled my eyes. “Hmm… you weren't meant to see any of that.”Henry
Abigail's POV***“Hey babe, you got to meet me at the **** restaurant whenever you are free. You won't believe it! It's about someone special, I think I might be falling for him.” I typed on my smartphone and hit the send button to Joyce, who was my best friend and the only one I shared my secrets with.“You better have a juicy gist or I'll kill you” she replied and I chuckled, standing up from my bed and taking a deep breath. The lingering scent in the room was Henry's perfume, the one I watched him apply while I lay drowsing on the bed. He had come to peck me, whispering his departure for work. The sound of his deep voice had made me purr in my response which delighted him because that hungry desire flashed in his eyes. I quickly laid the bed even though I knew we had an excessive amount of maids, he had even hired more after I started living here.After that, I stretched and headed into the bathroom for another quick shower. After thinking about him, I knew I had to clean mys
Abigail's POV***At Brundeen's group"let's go in" Henry stretched out his hands for Abigail to take, he acted in a chivalrous manner and it made her heart flutter, she felt like she was with a high school sweetheart.She took his hand in hers, their fingers entwining as they walked side by side into the office building.The women in the office watched with wide eyes as Abigail and their boss walked through the door, their hands clasped together. Most of the young ladies felt a flash of jealousy and envy as they watched Abigail and their boss walk by. They had heard the rumors, and seeing them together like that seemed to confirm their suspicions. "The sly slut has seduced their boss, no wonder she was able to get the position as his personal assistant.""She probably used her body to get the spot."As Abigail made walked by, she could hear the hushed whispers of the women around her. Their words were full of bitter resentment. It made her angry but she decided to ignore their hars
