Chapter 30: [Bonus chapter] Searching

Day Two…

~~*****~~

Two pairs of glaring eyes welcomed Abigail as soon as she entered the room. She felt like Nathan and Veronica were both cursing at her. She immediately lowered her gaze, unable to meet Nathan's sharp blue eyes.

The intimate moment they shared in that very own room kept on replaying in her mind. It seemed that Nathan's presence would always remind her of those moments. She couldn't get them out of her mind. The memories were still fresh and it was something that was hard to forget.

'Damn! This is so unfair. Am I the only one suffering here? But wait… I wonder if he could remember or not. I hope not!' Abigail bit her lower lip, avoiding Nathan's gaze.

She just wished the devil would not remember anything, otherwise, she didn't know how she would face him without getting embarrassed about what happened.

"She is here," Nathan's icy voice was heard. Though she was not looking at him, she could feel the chill brought by Nathan's penetrating gaze.

Veronica clenched her teeth and balled up her free hand into a fist until her nails bit into flesh. She was agitated after hearing Nathan's remarks a while ago. [ Abigail and I will go home tomorrow. ]

'Is he not planning to punish her? He will still bring her back with him. What did Ethan tell his father?' Veronica tried her best to conceal her emotions. She maintained calm outside, but deep inside, she was fuming with rage and jealousy.

"You two… Leave us alone," Nathan ordered Axel and Veronica.

"We can't. What if she will do something again to hurt you?" Veronica didn't hesitate to express her protest.

Nathan shot her a cold sharp glare. "I said… Leave. Us. Alone. Get out!" He was in a bad mood and felt more irritable because of the incident that transpired today.

Axel pursed his lips and motioned Veronica to obey his master. They couldn't afford to anger him further. They could only obey his command and disappear from his sight.

Reluctant to leave, Veronica walked out of the room with heavy footsteps. She wanted to stay and listen to their conversation but Nathan already sent them away as if they were just a nuisance between the two.

"Doc Veronica. Don't worry about Master. He could handle this. Even though he is sick, he is stronger than you think." Axel tried to comfort Veronica, however, she became more upset.

When Axel and Veronica left, there was a long and deafening silence, engulfing the room. No one between Nathan and Abigail uttered some words.

"Dad! What took you so long? Please give the phone to Miss Abi!" Little Ethan's small voice pierced the golden silence in that chamber, snapping the two people out of their deep thoughts.

Nathan squinted his eyes before handing the phone over to Abigail. She reflexively took the phone, putting it on her right ear.

"Miss Abi, don't be afraid of my Dad. I got your back." Little Ethan reassured her.

Abigail blinked several times, wondering how Ethan found out that she was put in a dire situation and was about to face the devil's wrath.

'Don't tell me Butler Li has something to do with this?' Abigail didn't know if Butler Li was acting like a fairy godmother who would save her in times of trouble. 'I owed him big time.'

"I understand. Go to bed now, Little Ethan. See you tomorrow." Abigail mumbled with an awkward smile on her face. Nathan was staring at her intently, making her feel uneasy.

"Goodnight, Miss Abi. See you tomorrow. Just tell me if Dad bullies you, okay?"

'Yes! He bullied me… he violated me, taking advantage of my temporary body. And I think I got an emotional trauma.' Abigail complained inwardly. But then, her alter ego interjected her line of thoughts and said,'But you enjoyed it!'

Abigail cringed and she felt the chill run down her spine. She shook her head, trying to keep the memories, and pushed those unwanted thoughts to the back of her mind.

"Goodnight, Ethan," she absentmindedly mumbled before ending the call.

She subconsciously glanced in Nathan's direction and their eyes met for a long moment before she looked away.

'Why the hell is he looking at me like that? Don't tell me he remembered everything?' Abigail tried her best to maintain her cool as if everything was normal. But her heart started to run wild once more.

The silence of the surroundings brought more tension between them. Just when she thought Nathan would confront her, he stood up, tracing his steps towards the bathroom.

Bam!

The closing sound of the bathroom door was like her cue to finally relax and steady her breathing.

She was staring at the closed door when suddenly a light bulb went off in her head. 'Gosh! I almost forgot! This is my last chance to retrieve those things!'

With alertness, Abigail scanned the room with her hawk-like eyes, searching for two important items– Butler Li's cellphone and her fucking Bra!

'Where are they?' She dashed towards the bed, lifting the quilt. She turned it upside down but she saw nothing.

"Damn! I have to find them." She murmured. She moved around the room, searching every corner. She wished Nathan would take his time in the bathroom.

Then she snapped her fingers as she recalled that she ducked under the bed. Without wasting any more time, Abigail dropped on the floor, checking something under the bed.

And with great timing, Nathan came out of the bathroom, witnessing Abigail in that awkward position. Her butt was facing Nathan as she kept checking the floor. She even used the flashlight of Axel's phone while searching for those items under Nathan's bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Aww!" Abigail bumped her head against the bottom side rail of the bed when she hastily raised her head after hearing Nathan's voice. His voice scared the hell out of her. She felt like a thief getting caught in the act by Nathan at that moment.

She rubbed her head and turned around only to see Nathan whose expression was indescribable. He was giving her a strange look. She couldn't tell if he was mad or he was just fighting the urge to laugh.

Damn! She couldn't figure him out. What was running on his mind right now?

Chapter 31: Daddy Long Legs

Day Two…

~~*****~~

Abigail cursed herself in her mind. She was becoming too careless lately. This was so unlikely of her.

'Did he notice something?'

She tugged her lips upward, forcing a smile as she glanced at Nathan with her 'innocent' emerald eyes. It's time to put her acting talent to use. Remember, she possessed the body of a new rising actress who has the potential of becoming a superstar someday!

"The phone…" she started, shaking the phone in her hand while showing it to Nathan. "I accidentally dropped the phone on the floor. It rolled under your bed so I just picked it up." She further elaborated, justifying her action of ducking on the floor a while ago.

Nathan just raised his brow, striding towards her spot. Subconsciously, Abigail took a step back when Nathan almost invaded her personal space.

She didn't want to have close body contact with him after what transpired in that room. She was afraid that something might happen again between them. Who knows Nathan is not yet in his sane mind and might suddenly drag her again in his bed?

When Nathan extended his hand to reach out for her, Abigail instinctively raised and crossed both her hands in front to block him.

Nathan scrunched up his brows, looking at her displeased. "I'm not going to hit you. I'm taking back the phone. It's not yours."

Abigail straightened up and obediently handed the phone over to Nathan. But she made sure to avoid touching his hands.

Nathan became more annoyed because of her action. She was acting like Nathan has a communicable disease that's why she was avoiding any form of body contact.

Nathan reflexively glanced at his own hands, trying to check whether he got skin rashes due to his allergy. Fortunately, he got none. Moving his gaze back to Abigail, Nathan pursed his lips, trying to calm himself down.

"Now, let's talk," Nathan sternly said, showing his dominance. He sat on the comfy couch near the bed, facing Abigail. He crossed his leg over the other, leaned on the side, and lazily put his right elbow on the armrest while supporting his head.

"What's your deal, Miss Scarlett?" He asked her, wearing the same icy expression he usually put on when dealing with other people, especially his enemies.

The look in his eyes reminded Abigail that the person in front of her was the ruthless devil who gave her the taste of hell after mercilessly annihilating her guild members.

'But that same devil could also give you a taste of heaven,' her alter ego disrupted her once again.

'Shut up!' She immediately scolded her own self, slamming her eyes while biting her lips.

"Are you not going to talk?" His deep cold voice broke the silence. He sounded impatient.

For a moment Abigail opened her eyes and she simply gazed into his icy cold but handsome face, and then she drew a deep breath.

"I apologize for the intrusion I did to your bedroom this morning. But I will insist on my innocence about what happened this afternoon. I didn't intentionally put the peanuts on your food. Your Chef never warned me about it." She defended herself by telling the truth. But she doubted if Nathan would buy her explanation.

Her words vs the words of his Chef who has been serving him for the past 25 years. Of course, Nathan would never suspect his own people. She was the only outsider in the house.

Nathan didn't say a word. He just waved his hands, gesturing for Abigail to continue talking. He needed a much more convincing alibi or justification for him to believe her.

"I believe you are a smart guy, Mr. Sparks. Though I don't have witnesses who would support my claim, you can assess my situation. You are intelligent enough to figure out if I'm telling the truth or not." Abigail tried her best to sound polite.

"What benefit would I get if I killed you? Have you forgotten that I am in a very tight spot right now wherein someone wanted me dead? And I ask for your help. I am not stupid to harm the only man who can protect me at this moment. It's you, Mr. Sparks. I am relying on you for my safety."

Nathan cocked his eyebrow and pursed his lips, eyeing her with disbelief. "So you are saying that I'm just a tool for your protection."

"Of course not!" Abigail forced a smile. "You are not a tool, but more likely my Daddy Long Legs. I asked you to adopt me for the meantime."

"Cough! Cough!"

Nathan choked when he heard her last statement. 'What? Me? Her Daddy Long Legs? Is she kidding me? I'm not that old.'

As if she could read his mind, Abigail had spoken once more. "I'm just 21. How about you, Mr. Sparks? 35? You are fit to be my Daddy Long Legs."

(Note: 21 is the age of real Abigail. 27 is Phantomflakes' current age)

Abigail started spouting nonsense just to relax her nerves. Nathan's domineering aura already put so much pressure on her, plus his pair of mesmerizing icy blue eyes that were looking at her intently.

"I'm thirty!" Nathan suddenly blurted out, surprising both himself and Abigail.

'Damn! Why did I have to say it out loud!' There was no need to correct her wrong assumption about his age. But he was not able to control his mouth.

Abigail's lips twitched, fighting a smile but failed. She had to cover her mouth using her hand to hide the wide grin that was seeping out from the corners of her lips.

'The devil is so conscious of his age. Haha!'

Nathan squinted his eyes on Abigail, sucking his teeth, and at the same time, hiding his embarrassment.

"Leave," Nathan waved his free hand, his fingers pointing in the direction of the door.

"Eh? I thought you wanted to talk?" Abigail felt alarmed as she still hadn't found the things she left in that room.

"I already heard enough! I'm tired. Go out now," Nathan replied nonchalantly, dismissing her.

Abigail pouted her lips. She was reluctant to leave but she couldn't stay there for long otherwise, Nathan would notice her strange behavior. This devil has sharp and observant eyes.

"Okay. I'm leaving," Abigail said, but her eyes scanned the room for one last time. 'Damn! Where are those things? They disappeared like bubbles. Oh Lord, please don't let this devil find those things.'

Just when Abigail left the room, Nathan's gaze fell on the floor near his bed where he caught her searching for something.
