100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Three...

~~*****~~

Nathan shot Abigail a cold sharp glare. With a stoic expression on his face, he even stepped forward to move closer to her. Reflexively, Abigail moved back as Nathan was looking at her intently. Before she knew it, her back already touched the car.

Abigail was now trapped in between the car and the tall figure of Nathan. He was leaning and hovering over her. Abigail felt a little bit uncomfortable with their closeness.

'What is he trying to do? Is he going to hit me for ordering him around? He invaded my personal space already.' Abigail's heart raced at the smell of his cologne.

It did not take long before Abigail heard the sound of the car door opening. It turned out, Nathan just wanted to close their gaps and opened the door for her as she requested.

'But why did he look so frightening?'

Nathan smirked and whispered. "Why are you nervous? Afraid of me?"

Abigail glared at Nathan because of his provocation stunt. He was clearly teasing her. She thought he got mad when she ordered him to open the door for him.

Abigail was still dumbfounded when Nathan turned around, hiding the faint smile on his face. He didn't expect that teasing her would feel very satisfying.

'She dared to order me around as if I am her Chauffeur. Just you wait, Abigail. If I'm done negotiating with Mr. Hiroshi... I will make you see who is the Real Boss here.' Nathan could sense that Abigail wanted to take advantage of this situation since Ethan was with them.

Upon entering the car, Nathan drove off to the amusement park. Axel and the other bodyguards maintained their distance while following Nathan's car.

While inside the car, Abigail stole glances at Nathan. She was still thinking about Monica. She couldn't get over the possibility that Monica might have cheated on Nathan.

Abigail turned to her side, watching Nathan's handsome features. His eyes were fixed on the road. He focused on driving the car. But he could feel that a pair of eyes was watching him from his side. He just pretended that he didn't know it.

'She kept stealing glances at me. What is she thinking? Am I really that handsome in her eyes that she couldn't take her eyes off me?' Nathan thought to himself, fighting the urge to smile.

'Is she just pretending to be mad? Playing hard to get, that's why she didn't accept my apology?' Nathan started to speculate.

But little did he know, Abigail was not just playing hard to get. She was truly upset with him for two reasons!

First, after serving him in that bathroom, pleasuring him... he still shouted at her, sending her out of the bathroom.

Second, after returning to the EDSJ Five Star Hotel, he burst out, venting out his frustration for failing to get Mr. Hiroshi's attention. He blamed Abigail and told her lots of harsh words without even listening to her explanation.

In the end, he was proven wrong since he found out that Abigail helped him concerning Mr. Hiroshi.

Abigail was still upset but her mind was preoccupied with Monica. And for some unknown reason, she felt mad and wanted to sympathize with Nathan.

'What will Nathan feel if Monica betrayed him in the past? Would he feel less hurt by her death or could he finally move on?' Abigail was wondering what Nathan would do if she proved to him that Monica lied to him... that Monica might have another lover aside from Nathan.

'Damn! Don't tell me... this devil was so stupid to let himself be fooled by a woman? He was even willing to kill and annihilate a whole clan just for her! I thought he was a smart guy?' Abigail crumpled her face at that thought.

Then she could feel the rage surging up in her heart. 'If Kathleen was right then I guess Monica deserved to die. But not my whole clan! Fuck that bitch! Nathan destroyed my assassin guild just for her. If she was alive, then I would kill her over and over again!' Abigail's aura became chilly. She was furious just thinking about it.

Her expression seemed like she wanted to kill someone right now and it just so happened that Nathan caught her looking at him with her deathly glare.

'Uh-oh! I think Abigail is not faking it. I might have misunderstood it. She must be furious for real. Was she really upset with me? The way she looks at me seems like she wants to skin me alive,' Nathan thought inwardly, biting his lower lip.

"Cough! Cough!" Nathan cleared his throat as he felt uneasy with the way Abigail was staring at him with her bloodshot eyes.

Abigail immediately shifted her gaze back to the road when her eyes met Nathan's. She didn't expect that Nathan would turn in her direction.

"I'm here to apologize sincerely," Nathan blurted out unexpectedly, breaking the silence.

Abigail was stunned for a moment and didn't respond. It was truly surprising for Nathan to say those words. Meanwhile, Little Ethan gave his father a thumb's up when he courageously spoke those words to Abigail.

'Good job, Dad! Just keep it up!' Ethan winked at his father through the rearview mirror.

Nathan felt a little bit embarrassed. He didn't mean to say those words but they just came out of his mouth naturally especially when he sensed that Abigail was so furious about something. She was giving him a deathly glare a while ago.

Getting his attention back to the road, it only took them fifteen minutes to reach their destination. Ethan excitedly stepped out of the car, followed by Nathan. Abigail didn't move and just remained seated inside, waiting for Nathan to do the courtesy to open the door for her once more.

Nathan frowned when he met Abigail's eyes through the window. She was motioning him to open the door for her.

'This woman seems like she is enjoying this kind of role play.' Nathan lamented to himself. Without any choice, Nathan reluctantly moved to the front passenger seat and grabbed the car door for her.

Abigail sneered as she alighted from the car. Then she murmured something to Nathan. "Smile, Nate, otherwise, I will think that you are not sincere with your apology."

Abigail tapped his shoulder and walked past him, not waiting for his reply. Abigail fled to follow Ethan, leaving Nathan behind.

Nathan could only clench his fists while watching Abigail's back. 'This woman is truly shameless.'

'Patience, Nate... be more patient.' Nathan reminded himself. He should deal with Abigail with more patience.

Ethan grabbed Abigail's hand as he pulled her towards the booth where they could buy a ticket for a ride. Ethan chose the carousel for his first ride.

"Miss Abi! Miss Abi! Can I ride it with you!" Ethan showed Abigail his childish side. Though he became mature for his young age, he wanted to act like an ordinary child in front of Abigail.

Ethan spent his time playing with his robotic friends. But now, he wanted to experience playing like ordinary children, going to amusement parks together with their parents. This was something he had never done before.

Nathan was always busy with work, both for being the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia and the CEO of SYP Starlight Corp. He never went to a place like this together with Ethan. This was also his first time here.

In fact, the three of them never experienced this. Abigail or rather, Phantomflake had never had a normal childhood experience. She spent her childhood years training to become a strong fighter and a certified assassin just like her master.

'Hmm, I guess it's not too late for me to ride this,' Abigail smiled at that thought. Her mood improved because of Ethan's presence. He was such an angel.

Because of that, she would forget that she was Phantomflake. She would enjoy this moment together with Ethan. This was the least she could do for the child whose mother died because of her.

"Come Ethan. Let's ride the same horse!" Abigail guided the little boy, lifting him up to ride a horse. Then she climbed after him, positioning herself at his back.

Ethan couldn't contain his happiness. He felt so happy as if the woman behind him was his mother. "Thank you, Miss Abi... for coming with us." Little Ethan gazed up to look at her with his doe-like eyes.

Abigail could only tap his nose and softly mumbled, "Don't thank me. As long as it's you... I am willing to do anything. I'm happy to be with you, my little angel."

Ethan giggled and blushed at Abigail's last remarks. 'My Little Angel... she called me her little angel.'

Little Ethan held tightly as the carousel began to move. The smile on his face never left.

Nathan, who was just standing on the sideline, witnessed the heartwarming interaction between his son and Abigail.

"My son... he really likes Abigail. This is the first time I saw him smiling with pure joy... it's a genuine smile."

Nathan couldn't help but gaze at Abigail. It had only been three weeks since Abigail showed up and stayed with them... but he felt like he had known her for so long.

'I just hope... you don't have ill motives towards my family. You can hurt me... but don't hurt my son's feelings.' Nathan mumbled as he continued to watch Abigail and Ethan.

"Dad! Come and join us!" Ethan noticed his father so he yelled at him, catching his attention. The little charming boy was waving at his father.

Nathan put on a faint smile and nodded his head. As long as his son could be happy, he would go along with it.
