Abigail Hayes ~•~“Baby, Abby.” I heard George’s muffled voice through my nap. “We’ve arrived.” He tapped me gently and I got up from the bed. After what we had done the last few hours, I was knocked out so I slept off. George had told me we were going to be arriving by dawn and it was better to sleep now if I didn’t want to be jet lagged, so I listened to him. I was tired anyway.I rubbed my hands all over my face, trying to wash off the sleep. We finally arrived at our destination, Paris. I had bugged George a lot before he finally told me where we were headed. “Can I have a glass of water? I requested. I had never been to Paris before and I didn’t want to feel tired when stepping out of the plane. “Sure,” George responded and poured water from the bottle into a glass cup. “Thanks,” I said as he handed it to me. After drinking to my satisfaction, I was ready to leave. The plane had already landed. “I’m ready to go.” I picked up my bag and we walked hand in hand to the entrance of
Abigail Hayes~•~“What’s on our itinerary?” I asked as the elevator took me and George down the floors. We had arrived very early in the morning and George had allowed me two hours to properly get ready and we were finally on our way out.“I was thinking we could visit the Louvre museum, take a nice seine river cruise, and then visit the Eiffel Tower.”“I’m so excited.” I squealed. I had never visited these places even if I dreamt of traveling a lot. However, I couldn’t travel when I had no money to do so. Traveling seemed like such a mundane thing but it was actually for the rich or for people who were willing to give up their last card to do it.George let out a hearty laugh. “You are so adorable. You were acting all hard-headed when you were working for me.”“Of course.” I rolled my eyes. “I couldn’t be too vulnerable with you when we weren’t even together.”“That’s understandable. If I had known you’d show me a different part of yourself, I’d have made you mine a long time ago. I
Abigail Hayes~•~I was certain I had taken more than a hundred pictures already and it was only our second day in Paris. We had one more night and we’d be flying to Hawaii. To say I was excited was an understatement.The previous day, we had extended our Seine River cruise because of how much I loved the view, so we didn’t have the time to visit the famous Eiffel Tower.At some point, I had to video call Maya to show her the view I was enjoying. She was jealous and demanded I keep her on the phone until we were done, which I didn’t because then, she’d be encroaching on my personal time with George.The night had ended as expected, George and I wrapped up in the sheets with him inside me. I’d heard that pregnancy intensified all hormones and I was beginning to think it was true.I was more emotional than usual. My anger and sadness were more overwhelming than they usually were and I was hornier than ever, especially after our time together on the private jet. According to George, I wa
George Galanti~•~At the start of our honeymoon, Abigail had been excited about the private jet, but she was already done with it.Since she heard that we were flying for over sixteen hours, she’d been whining nonstop. She’d taken three short naps and we still hadn’t arrived. I allowed her to sleep as much as she liked because we took off around ten. By the time we arrived in Honolulu, it was going to be around two in the afternoon because of the twelve-hour time difference between Paris and Honolulu.We had been on air for ten hours and we still had six more hours to go. To say Abigail was unhappy was an understatement. She was excited about Hawaii, don’t get me wrong. What put her off was the amount of time we were spending on the air. According to her, it was almost a full day.While she slept, I checked with my secretary and Zara on how things were over in New York. When she woke up, I knew I wouldn’t get any more work done so I just closed my laptop and set it aside as she crawl
Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t want to ruin my honeymoon by doubting George but it seemed like he was hiding something from me.Whoever Enrico was, it seemed like he was someone I wasn’t supposed to know about. George was acting pretty sneaky about the call. I knew he had only one friend, Charles and I knew most of his business associates as I used to be his secretary.Even if he formed alliances with new people, he wouldn’t be so secretive about it. If it was a business call, he would have excused himself and taken it. Throughout our time in Hawaii, Enrico had called a few times, aside from the time at the seafood restaurant, but George never took his call around me.However, I decided not to talk about it. If he was hiding something from me, he probably had a good reason for doing so. Even before we got married, he was very transparent. I doubted things would change just because we finally confessed to each other and had rings on our marriage fingers.The last three days had been a blas
George Galanti~•~Enrico was an asshole. I knew that. He knew that too.I gritted my teeth to hold back my words. He might be an annoying man but the power he held was crazy. He and his organization had connections all over the world, which was how they didn’t get in trouble even if they did illegal things.I looked at Abigail who seemed curious about the man in front of us and sighed. I brought out the keycard from my pocket and handed it to her. “You can go inside first.”She frowned at me. “I don’t want to go alone.”“Please.” I bit out. I knew I sounded insincere but I didn’t want her to stay down there and familiarize herself with a man like Enrico. There was a reason I kept him away from every other person in my life and it wasn’t so he could meet my pregnant wife and make friends with her.“Fine.” She retorted, sounding displeased as she grabbed the key from my hand and stomped away. I would have laughed at how cute she looked walking away angrily but this was no time for that
Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t want to be that kind of wife who didn’t give her husband privacy, but it was obvious he wasn’t friends with the Enrico guy. I hated that he was already keeping things from me as he was a transparent man. It meant whatever secret he was keeping happened to be serious. That meant I deserved to know about it, didn’t it?It was a new place we moved into and even George’s best friend, Charles didn’t know the location yet. Hell, Maya and my family didn’t know exactly where we were staying. I planned to bring them to visit to get to know the place, but that wasn’t the point.Whoever Enrico was, he was most likely powerful seeing as he was able to track down George’s location. He also knew exactly when we would be back which was why he was waiting for us in front of our building.There was also the fact that he said George was working for him. George didn’t work for anyone. He had business partners, not bosses.It unsettled me.That was probably what propelled my de
Abigail Hayes~•~“You’ve been so scarce since you became a wife,” Maya commented as soon as I sat down opposite her. We had agreed to meet up at a cafe because I didn’t want to stay indoors. I’d been doing too much of that recently.I still hadn’t figured out what to do with my life after marrying George.I chuckled, rolling my eyes. “You don’t see me for two weeks and you’re already complaining?”“Give me a break. For six years, I saw you every day. It’s weird living without you.”I gave her a sympathetic smile. We’d been living together since we were eighteen, first at the dorms, then we found an apartment when we were twenty. I understood her point of view. She was very used to living with me and was suddenly living alone.But then again, “You’ve been pestering me to get married and move out so you can use my room as you like.”“I was joking.” She huffed.Even if we were the same age, she always told me to get married as soon as possible because my relationships usually lasted thr
