Taking a casual sip from his glass, Duncan muttered, “Fools,” under his breath, ensuring Zinnia didn't catch his remark. As he casually scanned the room, his eyes landed on Abigail in a corner, prompting a smile to grace his lips. He arose.Zinnia, growing increasingly intolerant of his behavior, questioned, “Where are you going?”“To say hello to some pretty women catching my eye,” Duncan replied nonchalantly. Annoyed, Zinnia punched the table slightly and grabbed his wrist. “Don't insult me, especially not in front of my mother and grandmother, okay?” she seethed, teeth gnashing in frustration. Duncan, unfazed, shrugged and winced at her grip. Warning her not to boss him around, he left her fuming at the table. Expressing frustration, Zinnia declared, “I feel like getting rid of him.” Ma'am Luna, recalling Zinnia's past infidelity, reminded her, “Don't forget you cheated on him.”Dismissing Duncan's worth, Zinnia retorted, “He's useless.”Her mother, pragmatic, advised, “Don't

Lady Zelda is seated at her highly uplifted seat, hovering her eyes over the guests. Karla walked up to her and as Karla settled next to Lady Zelda, she couldn't help but notice her discomfort. Lady Zelda's eyes were fixed on Ma'am Luna, and there was a distinct grimace on her face.“Aunt Zelda, everyone at this party is honored to be here, you know. They are chanting your name,” Karla remarked with a smile, trying to lighten the mood.Lady Zelda acknowledged Karla's words, but her gaze remained fixed on Ma'am Luna. Karla observed the tension and gently tapped Lady Zelda, drawing her attention. “Yes. Did you say something, dear?”Concerned, Karla inquired, “Aunt, you were lost earlier. What's wrong? Are you okay?”Lady Zelda hesitated for a moment, struggling to find the right words.Karla nodded. “Okay. I understand. You can't be okay when the Lennart family is at your party.” Finally, she confessed, “Exactly. I really don't know why Duncan wanted this. Seeing my husband's kille

The room echoed with the gravity of the situation. Abigail knelt beside Karla, her eyes wide with shock and guilt. Abigail tried to wake up Karla, panic rising as she checked her pulse. She heaved a sigh of relief, realizing Karla was still alive. Unsure of what to do, Abigail pondered her options until a decision crystallized in her mind. She needed to hide Karla from the unfolding chaos.With determination, Abigail dragged Karla to the closet and pushed her inside. As she closed the closet door, her heart raced with apprehension. Footsteps approached, causing Abigail to gasp in fear. The door opened, and Duncan walked in, his eyes immediately scanning the room."Duncan," Abigail greeted, trying to appear composed despite the turmoil within.Duncan's eyes narrowed as he noticed the tension in Abigail's demeanor. "Hey. Why are you here? Where is Karla? What's going on?"Abigail hesitated for a moment, then fabricated a lie. "Oh, Karla had a sudden headache, so I helped her lie d

After a tense moment, Karla cautiously opened her eyes and saw Abigail placing the vase on the couch. Confused, she watched as Abigail walked towards the door, leaving Karla bewildered by the unexpected turn of events. As the door closed behind Abigail, the room hung heavy with the aftermath of unspoken threats and an uncertain future. The fragile balance between them teetered on the edge, and the echoes of their confrontation reverberated through the room, leaving both women grappling with the consequences of their choices. After a while, Ma'am Luna and Laila excused themselves, leaving Zinnia alone at the table with strict instructions. "Zinnia, you stay right here and don't go anywhere," Ma'am Luna warned. As they left, Zinnia's frustration bubbled to the surface. "Ugh, seriously? What am I, a child?" She muttered under her breath, eyeing the room restlessly. The absence of Duncan added to her annoyance, and she cursed him for not being around when needed. Zinnia glanced a

After some minutes of deep pondering, Abigail turned and darted off to the room where she had locked Karla in. When she burst in, Karla, who had been trying to loosen herself, shot her a venomous look.“Why are you back, you two-faced bitch?” Karla spat with disdain. “You had me locked up and tied here, huh? So I don't get to leave and expose you and your uncle, hm?”Abigail, her expression filled with a mix of guilt and determination, responded calmly, “What do you think?” She walked up to Karla, surprising her by untangling the ties that bound her.“You're letting me go?” Karla asked, suspicion laced in her voice.“I never planned to hold you back or get rid of you. I'm not that sort of person. However I almost became that sort of person a while back, and I've realized that my parents wouldn't be happy to see their daughter being selfish and foolish. I'm never like that and I won't ever be.”Karla, now free, eyed Abigail warily. “If you set me free, I will tell Duncan everything a

Karla reluctantly said a lie to cover up for Abigail, weaving a tale to shield her from the unfolding consequences. She then proceeded to narrate another fabricated story to Duncan about how she encountered Rhino and claimed he had pushed her while trying to escape. Duncan's anger intensified, and he vowed to make Rhino pay for his deeds. Duncan, his voice laced with determination, asked Karla if she had already called the police. Seeking to maintain the facade, she nodded and replied, "Yes, I called them right after he pushed me. They should be on their way." Duncan's stern expression softened with gratitude. "Thank you, Karla. We need to ensure Rhino is brought to justice, and Abigail shouldn't be entangled in this mess. Let's find him before he can slip away." The dance ended, and Zinnia appeared, ready to give Duncan an earful. "Where were you, Duncan? You left me alone on the dance floor!"“I doubt if you guys were having a worthy dance earlier because this young man, your

The revelation left the partygoers stunned, their celebration tainted by an unexpected turn of events. As Rhino was escorted away, Abigail and Karla exchanged bewildered glances. Astonished, Laila clung to Ma'am Luna, who stood in a state of shock. Laila whispered urgently, "Mother, Rhino has just been arrested.""I... I can see that. Stay calm," Ma'am Luna ordered, attempting to maintain composure. Zinnia, sensing the tension, walked up to them.“What's going on, Mother?” Zinnia asked, scanning the room. “Why does everyone look terrified and…”“Rhino has been arrested,” Laila disclosed.“Rhino?”“The man from earlier. The one we saw in a mask,” Laila clarified.“What? How? I thought you guys said he was going to leave unnoticed?”“Well, the police just took him away,” Ma'am Luna admitted, struggling to mask her concern. “Mother, what if Rhino gets pressured and exposes us? We can't spend our lives in jail,” Laila fretted.“Pull yourself together, Laila. People might notice you,”

Regaining her voice, Ma'am Luna shot a disapproving look at Gregg and hissed, “You must be stupid, Gregg! How could you think of such an option?”Gregg's smirk widened. “That's the only option, and…”“Kidnapping and killing Zelda isn't our last option!” Laila interjected, her voice filled with disdain. “You're sick in the head for thinking so.”“What do you mean? Do you have any other way to save yourselves from this mess? No! We just need to kidnap her and pull her son to us. Period!”“Gregg, listen to yourself. Do you think she's an ordinary human that you can kidnap? She's Zelda Walton,” Ma'am Luna remarked, eying Gregg sternly. “It's impossible to kidnap her. There are dozens of security guards and police personnel around just that one woman. How can you kidnap her?”“We can kidnap her,” Gregg corrected. “It's a ‘we’ thing and not a single man's work.”“God forbid me to be involved in such a dirty act. I won't!” Laila vehemently declined. Gregg, undeterred, continued, “Let me

Some weeks later, Abigail stepped out of her car in front of the airport. She was set to leave after being unable to detach herself from Duncan for the last weeks.Linda and Xia bid her goodbye, expressing their good wishes."Take care, Miss Abigail. We appreciate everything you've done,” Linda said, emotionally.Xia added, "Safe travels. We'll miss you." As Abigail headed towards the entrance, she was pleasantly surprised to find Duncan and Karla inside, waiting for her. They had arrived earlier to see her off.Duncan, smiling warmly, said, "Hey, Abigail. We thought we'd come to say our goodbyes in person."Abigail was touched. "You didn't have to do that. I'm really grateful."Karla with sincerity, said, “Abigail, you've been a true friend to Duncan and you've helped me in some ways too. We can't thank you enough for helping us."“You're both welcome.” Abigail stared at Duncan as he spread his arms apart, asking for a hug.Abigail hugged Duncan one last time, and with a heartfel

The following morning, the Lennart family received the news that Gregg and Rhino would soon face trial. Ma'am Luna fretted about the implications, and Laila suggested a drastic measure."Mother, considering the situation, maybe we should leave the country. It might be the safest option for us and Zinnia."Ma'am Luna, pondering the idea, said, "Leaving the country might indeed be the best way to ensure Zinnia isn't exposed for Duncan's death. After all, his corpse hasn't been found."Meanwhile, Zinnia overheard their conversation and entered the room."Leave the country? Why? What's happening?"Laila, trying to calm her, explained, "Zinnia, dear, it's just a precaution. With Gregg and Rhino facing trial, it's better for us to avoid any unnecessary attention."Zinnia was skeptical. But what about Duncan?" Ma'am Luna, feigning concern: "Sweetheart, we're doing this for your safety. If we stay, people might start questioning Duncan's disappearance."Zinnia reluctantly agreed."Fine, bu

Abigail observed Duncan and Karla getting into Karla's car before driving off. A single tear slipped down her cheek, quickly wiped away as she elegantly adjusted her knee-length gown. Xia appeared behind her with her P.A., stating, “You shouldn't have held back and listened to the nonsense Karla spewed.”Abigail chuckled. “It's okay.”“Maybe it's time to wrap this up,” Abigail declared. “I will go alone.” She slung her bag over her shoulder and left.“She's so strong,” Linda remarked as they watched Abigail drive away.“You're right,” Xia concurred. “She's also a great person. Right?”Xia dropped her gaze to Linda, nodding in agreement. Meanwhile, Karla kept a watchful eye on Duncan as he drove, his demeanor almost reckless. She hesitated to stop him, not wanting to ruin his mood. However, as Duncan nearly lost control, endangering their lives, she forced him to pull over.“I am sorry,” Duncan apologized after stopping. It dawned on him that he should have been more careful, realiz

Duncan was surprised at what he heard and his expression turned stoic. “Duncan, I only learned about that tonight when I heard her and Karla talking about executing the plan.”Duncan looked away slowly, unable to believe his ears.Karla came closer and said, reluctantly, “Also, Abigail is Rhino's niece. I knew about it.”Duncan's gaze shifted to her in astonishment. “You learned about it today?”Karla shook her head. “It was during the last party.” Duncan's jaw dropped. “I'm sorry.”“You kept it from me for days?!”“I'm sorry, Duncan, I didn't intend to do that.”“Crap! How can you tell me that? Abigail is related to my father's killer and you kept such important information from me. Why?!”Karla sighed, remorse evident in her eyes. "Duncan, I didn't want to burden you with more pain. I was torn between revealing the truth and protecting you from the harsh reality. I thought it would be better to let you know at the right time."Duncan groaned, frustration and betrayal etched on hi
Chapter 225
“Duncan!” Karla yelled, taking a step, but a smile on his face eased her worries. Gregg's men, stationed to take Duncan down, surfaced, awed by Duncan's calmness. Karla, surprised, rushed to him, checking his entire body in panic. “Duncan, are you okay?” Duncan nodded, taking off his suit jacket. Unbuttoning his sleeves, he revealed a bulletproof vest. Karla gasped and sighed. “You're wearing a bulletproof?” Duncan nodded, and she laughed softly before pulling him into a hug, panting. Amidst the chaos, Duncan embraced Karla. "I had to take precautions. I couldn't risk anything happening at this critical moment." Karla, relieved, whispered, "I was terrified. It looked so real." Duncan kissed her forehead. "I needed it to be convincing. Now, let's let them think they succeeded." Zinnia and Ma'am Luna, still amid the chaos, discreetly slipped away, realizing the plan had taken an unexpected turn. Lady Zelda, shocked, approached Duncan and Karla. "Duncan, are you alright?"
Chapter 224
Ma'am Luna, losing her patience tightened her grip on Zinnia, urging her. “Answer me!” Unsure of how to respond, Zinnia hesitated before finally deciding to play along.“I didn't do anything, grandmother. Duncan just disappeared on his own, and I don't know where he is.” Zinnia maintained a facade of innocence, concealing the dark truth lurking beneath the surface. Ma'am Luna let go of Zinnia and she excused herself to use the bathroom. Confirming ma'am Luna wasn't watching her as she walked away, Zinnia signaled to Gregg who was standing some meters away from her, and headed out. Gregg followed her. He walked up to her as she paced back and forth outside.When he tapped her, she spun, startled and almond screamed.“Dear, relax. What's wrong?” Gregg asked.“Ma’am Luna, I mean my grandmother seems to be suspecting me. She just asked me about Duncan earlier.”Gregg frowned, concern etching his face. "What did you tell her?"Zinnia took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "I
Chapter 223
After a brief silence, Karla pointed at Abigail, who strangely did nothing but stare at her in astonishment. “If you ever wish ill for Duncan again, then I won't think twice before giving you a dirty slap to get you thinking straight.”Abigail smirked and chuckled before rubbing her stinging cheek, which had turned red.“You know what, Karla? You're unbelievable. I had thought for once that you're different from those selfish women out there. I had empathy for you when you opened up to me, and that's why, to date, I have not told Duncan about your relationship with Rhino. You have turned against him and stabbed him in the back. Why? Because he rejected you?! You're so pathetic.”Abigail shrugged and straightened up, managing to smile. She simply said, “Enjoy the party, and… my regards to Duncan.” With that, she entered her car. Karla watched her drive off, engulfed in bitterness, then returned inside.Abigail pulled by the side of the main road later and called Xia.“You're at the pa
