Warning! mature content but not too explicit!!! "If you don't do as I say then you will never see our son again, not in this life or the next," Henry said in an icy tone that made me shiver in fright. Five years ago, I had a one-night stand with an unknown man. It was never my wish, how could my stepmother and my stepsister be this cruel to set me up with a stranger? I trusted them but I guess it was too late, the deed was already done. They threatened to ruin my reputation, so I ran away. Five years later, I returned with my son to the country, after getting the heartbreaking news that my father was sick. The stranger, whose name I knew to be Henry, a ruthless billionaire, wanted me and my son and if I didn't abide by his rules, he threatened to do the unthinkable.

Abigail uttered aloud, she was starting to get irritated with the evil witch pretentious attitude.Her stepmother's demeanor changed instantly, her once-aloof manner transforming into a sneer. "You insolent brat!" she hissed at Abigail. "Can't you see I'm entertaining a guest?” Her words dripped with venom, but she quickly composed herself, pasting a saccharine smile onto her face for Henry’s benefit. Then, in a flash, she turned back to Abigail, her gaze showing much disdain."Guest? He is actually with me" Abigail said, smiling proudly as she declared.That made her stepmother scoff, she knew that Abigail wouldn't be more than his maid or his servant.It was even better that they came together, she would be here to see the handsome young man talk about her lovely daughter, Lana.Her stepmother’s scorn only grew as she turned back to Henry, a condescending sneer twisting her lips as she addressed Abigail. "Oh, of course. Working as
Third POV***Everyone had almost finished their meal and they were starting to leave one after the other.Grandfather was actually the first to leave, he left about five minutes before everyone decide that they were ready to leave also.The Brundeens had to wait for Grandfather to leave before they could go themselves. Luckily, he didn't stick around for long, and the rest of the family was able to get out of there not too long after he did.And just like before, only Henry and Abigail were left in the room.A beeping sound came from her purse and she unzipped the cute silver purse to reveal her phone, it's screen flashing and signalling her of an incoming call."Dad?" She whispered quietly, and got up from Henry's laps, luckily he didn't try stopping her this time.As Abigail stood, she was reminded of the discomfort in her leg.Her leg ached a bit, she couldn't recall how long she sat, it seemed like she had been sitting for hours.Abigail spoke into the phone the moment she picked
Third POV***As Grandfather Brundeen's piercing gaze settled upon Abigail, she instinctively turned her head away, her eyes averting his own as if the weight of his stare were too much for her to bear. She glanced downward, her gaze resting on the table.That was right! She deserved to be frightened, she didn't have a place in this family afterall.He looked away and focused on his meal,he didn't find her worthy of his stares either.To him, she was just another lowlife looking for a way out of her pitiful situation.The fact that he had never heard of her family didn't surprise him. He knew all of the elites in the country and the Williams weren't among the class of people that he associated himself with.Grandfather Brundeen cleared his throat, and then began speaking. "I will not tolerate this act from you Abigail, you gave me a great grandson but that doesn't mean that you should disrespect me by not honoring my wishes."Grandfather Brundeen's dominance of the situation was not l
Third POV***Even Lisa was present, her eyes burning with fury and her chest heaving in anger. Her rage was like a kettle about to whistle, building up pressure as she glared at Abigail."What shameless people!"The silence was broken by Lisa's thunderous voice as she pointed an accusing finger at Henry and Abigail. Her words were like a raging storm, sweeping across the room as she marched towards the couple, who sat in close proximity. Their intimacy was insulting to Lisa, who felt that they were being disrespectful."Don't you dare lay your hands on my woman!"Just as Lisa reached out to grab Abigail, Henry's threatening tone stopped Lisa in her tracks, her hand still raised as she hesitated to proceed. Feeling embarrassed, she lowered her hand, realizing that she might have gone too far in her anger."This is a Brundeen family gathering, not a place for your immoral, shameless romance," Lisa spat, her frustration evident in her voice as she turned her cold gaze on Abigail. The co
Third POV***A group of party guests, huddled in quiet conversation, failed to hide their whispers from Abigail's discerning ears. "Seems like the young master has quite the catch on his arm," one murmured, eyes narrowed in scrutiny as they observed Abigail . As the words left her lips, a knowing smirk played across her face, her gaze lingering on the young couple as if to say.The woman's friends giggled, but when Henry gave them a threatening look, they left. They were scared of the young master.Whispering some inaudible words among themselves as the sounds of their feet were inaudible due to the music.With a gentle smile and a caring gaze, Henry offered his arm to Abigail. "Shall we?" he asked, as if he could sense her apprehension. Abigail, with a small yet determined smile, returned his gesture and placed her hand on his arm.She didn't know where he was taking her to but she followed him, her face bent as she tried her best to avoid their piercing glares.Abigail's heart was
Third POV***On the next day, Henry and Abigail arrived at the Brundeen mansion in a luxurious Bugatti Veyron, pulling up to the estate's driveway with the sleek vehicle's engine purring, signaling their presence.Adonis had driven Audrey to the mansion earlier in the morning, so Henry and Abigail arrived at the estate in their Bugatti alone.Abigail's eyes widened as she stepped out of the Bugatti and took in the stunning beauty of the Brundeen estate. The grounds were immaculately landscaped, with well-manicured gardens and elegant fountains that glinted in the sunlight. As the Bugatti's engine quieted down, Henry turned to Abigail with a friendly smile and extended his hand to help her out of the car. Abigail accepted his offer and took his hand while stepping out of the vehicle.“This is where your family lives, right?" Abigail asked, turning to Henry as she tilted her neck up to take in the gigantic mansion before them.With his eyes crinkling at the corners, Henry nodded. "Ind
Third POV***A week had passed and so far things have been going great for both Abigail and Henry and their bond strengthened to become much stronger than it used to be.Following Henry's heartfelt public apology in front of all the maids and staff, Abigail decided to return to the mansion and reside in her own separate room. She felt that this would allow her to maintain some distance from Henry while also allowing her to be close enough to monitor the situation and judge for herself whether Henry's behavior had truly changed. Henry had gone on his knees and begged for her to return back, everyone begged when they saw the young master's genuine apology, in the end, she listened.Now she was back in the mansion and things were looking better for them.Abigail folded her clothes, arranging each dress on top of the other. After smoothing out the wrinkles with her hands, she gathered the pile and carefully placed it in the wardrobe before turning to see Henry who had his brows raised a
Third POV***More than two hours had passed and Abigail still sat in the entertainment room with Aria.They had both cried and comforted each other though it was more of Aria comforting Abigail."I will go take some fresh air outside Aria, is that okay?" Abigail said to Aria, she stared at the already sleeping Aria and caressed her hair for a while before turning to leave.Abigail walked with slow and deliberate steps, she didn't want Aria to wake up because of her so she had to be extremely careful.The door made a quiet sound and she slipped herself outside successfully.She wanted to take a breath of fresh air and maybe clear her mind a little. Henry's confession on live TV was shocking and she still couldn't stop the images and his voice from replaying in her mind.She soon got out of the corridor and slipped outside of the building.The mansion was in the distance and she could see it, so she decided to walk towards the gates instead and maybe keep circling around the building u

Abigail pouted, even though it wasn't looking perfect, she knew Audrey would love it as he had always supported her in everything that she did.However, she wanted it to be perfect for him.
