100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Fifteen…

~~*****~~

Abigail was getting a hang of her seduction technique. Well, she was no longer that timid and reluctant to approach Nathan as compared to before.

Each day, she was learning how to act naturally and playfully. She didn't want to look like she was only forced to do this mission.

With that thought in mind, Abigail was giving Nathan one shock from another. He couldn't help but become flustered sometimes. He often lost his composure in front of her. She was getting more and more involved with Nathan as time passed by.

She kissed him. She touched him. They made out already. So there was nothing to feel embarrassed about. She had to make the first moves to tame the devil and she would no longer hold back.

It was better to accomplish her mission as soon as possible. If it would take her long, then she was afraid Nathan would realize something about her. The incident last night might bring more suspicions about her identity.

Before Nathan put up another wall or barrier between them, she had to melt his stone-cold heart as soon as possible. She had to gain his trust. She wouldn't gain anything if she would act timid and reserved in front of Nathan.

Meanwhile, Nathan grabbed her hand that was holding his collar. His expression went back to normal, putting up a cold front. He slowly removed her hand.

"That won't work, Abi," Nathan uttered.

Abigail raised her eyebrow. The indifferent Nathan was back.

"Hmm, Okay. So what brought you here? If I know, you are just worried about me, right?" Abigail put on a teasing smile, tugging Nathan's hand.

Nathan's face contorted because of Abigail's teasing. She was becoming more shameless as time went by.

"I don't know if you are overthinking or just daydreaming," Nathan plainly said, but he just let Abigail hold his hand.

"I came here to inform you about the result of the investigation. The culprit already confessed and identified the person who ordered him to attack you."

Abigail fell silent for a moment. She had one person in mind but she wasn't certain. She didn't have proof either.

"Come in. Let's talk inside," Abigail invited him, pulling Nathan's hand as she led him to the living area.

The two sat down and started to talk about the culprit and the mastermind. Abigail was not surprised that Nathan and his men were able to get an answer so quickly. They had their ways of making someone talk.

"Who sent him?" Abigail asked Nathan, her eyes looking at him expectantly.

"Jun Shen," Nathan declared. "Do you remember him?"

Abigail crumpled her face and her brows were drawn together as she heard him. 'Jun Shen, that fatty old man? Is he capable enough to hire a person and send him here to Country F just to harm me? No one knew that I was still alive, even Jun Shen. So I doubt that he was the mastermind.'

"Are you sure that he is the one?" Abigail asked, feeling doubtful.

The person she had in mind was Veronica. Her instinct was telling her that Veronica might be the real mastermind.

But the culprit was pointing out a different person. How was he able to convince Nathan and his men that the mastermind was Jun Shen?

"Bank Transaction. It came from Jun Shen's account," Nathan responded, assessing Abigail's reaction. He thought she would feel scared but she didn't show that emotion at all.

"How much did he pay him?" Abigail asked again, curious.

"One hundred thousand dollars," he shortly answered. He almost laughed when Nathan saw her reaction. Abigail's reaction was somehow similar to Nathan's reaction when he learned the amount.

"WHAT?! One hundred thousand dollars?! Only?! Is that my life's worth for them?! How ridiculous! I feel insulted!" Abigail was not able to control herself from saying those words.

'Did he think I could be easily taken down so the price was so cheap?! I wanna beat that guy!' Abigail thought to herself, subconsciously cracking her knuckles.

Abigail slammed her eyes shut and took a deep breath. Inhale! Exhale! She tried to calm herself down.

Nathan just bobbed his head, staring at her with amusement.

"But Bank Account can be faked," Abigail suddenly blurted out.

"Don't worry. We will confirm if it's true or not." Nathan reassured her. Then he suddenly paused, just staring at her. He was reminded again by Abigail's declaration. He wondered how Abigail would make him fall for her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Abigail mumbled, feeling a little bit conscious of the way Nathan was looking at her intently.

"Do you think I'm pretty?" Abigail asked him, putting on a silly smile. She even cupped her face using both hands. She was acting so cute with that little gesture.

Nathan blinked before grabbing the throw pillow on his side. Then he gently covered Abigail's face using the pillow to hide her face from his view.

Abigail was caught off guard by his action. After she recovered, she pursed her lips and glared at Nathan. She was trying to act cute but Nathan ruined it when he covered her face.

Feeling annoyed, Abigail picked up the throw pillow next to her and started hitting Nathan with it. The teasing suddenly became a pillow fight.

Nathan noticed that Abigail was hitting him hard. To stop her, he let go of his pillow and pushed her down on the couch. He got on top and he trapped her, pinning her hands over her head.

"Abigail, that was enough!" Nathan said coldly, staring at her with his sharp blue eyes.

Abigail was taken aback for a moment. Nathan's face was so close to hers and she could feel his weight pressing against hers. Abigail didn't move as she was worried about Nathan's wound opening up again.

The two stayed silent, staring at each other's eyes. For some unknown reason, Abigail felt like Nathan's face was slowly descending toward hers.

'Wait… is he going to kiss me?' Abigail held her breath at that thought. Unable to take the tension, Abigail closed her eyes as she waited for Nathan's lips to touch hers.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

She could feel his breath fanning her cheeks. Damn! He was so close to kissing her.
