Abigail’s Second Life

Abigail's flight ended with her collapsing as she was losing consciousness due to the excessive blood loss. She

rose to her feet in determination with her gun in hand and continued with her escape. Even though she rolled

down into the river, Abigail, who was drained by exhaustion, forced herself up with her arms and tried to regain

her balance. However, the river's muddy grasp proved relentless, thwarting her attempts to escape.

Finally, she found herself face-to-face with Simond, who was close to crushing her hand with his foot and causing

her to be in agony.

"Only if you did not catchat the fortress. Only if you understood where I'm coming from, Simond. | won't

forgive the one who killed me... even if it is you." Hatred and defiance flared in her eyes as she faced him.

Simond lifted his foot off her hand and helped her up from the ground. "No matter how tough you act, it's futile.

You and Sean are alike, inherently deceitful. You can fabricate any lie for survival, for profit." As he had spent

considerable twith Abigail, he understood her well.

She was capable of anything to achieve her goals, so lying was nothing to her.

Abigail, fueled by rage, fired a shot, piercing Simond's abdomen. In shock, he staggered back, clutching his

wound.

Abigail, tearful and defiant, demanded her freedom. "You laid a hand onfirst. Simond, you heldagainst

my will, and now, you're saying untrue things about me? You deserve to die! Letgo! | want to be with Sean!"

Her voice quivered as her breath was heavy. "You're such an *sshole! Every t| encounter you, | have the

worst luck!"

Simond, wounded and furious, collapsed.

Sage had heard what transpired between those two and stormed over, only to notice the never-ending blood

flow from Simond's abdomen. She delivered a blow across Abigail's face, which resulted in Abigail rolling into the

muddy river.

She lacked the strength to get back up.

Despite Sage's anger, she intervened and yanked Abigail from the watery depths of the tributary.

Sparks flew in the air back at the mansion when Sage tended to Abigail's wounds. After having Abigail

restrained, Sage's anger burned through Abigail each tAbigail was treated.

"If Simond is dead, | won't let you off the hook," Sage said angrily while she applied the medicine.

Abigail's defiance met Sage's fury head-on. "He's still alive? He won't be this lucky next time," she retorted.

With a slap, Sage glared at her menacingly as she threatened, "I beg your pardon?"

"Endnow if you dare." Although Abigail's mouth was bloody, she was defiant.

Sage raised her hand but slowly lowered it under Abigail's hateful gaze. "You're still valuable."

Abigail chuckled. "No guts to kill me, huh? But you have no way out either. Since you kidnappedand

committed battery on my person, I'll never let you off the hook if | can make it."

Sage felt the urge to end her life but managed to restrain herself. "Do you even gain something by continuously

provoking me?" she asked coldly.

"For one, you shouldn't have takenhostage." Abigail was stoic in her reply. "Do you think | appreciate what

Simond has done? He made use offrom the start, for which | despise him. Luckily he never returned that

day, or I'd ended him on the spot."

Sage's throat tightened, unsure of what to say at that moment. In her mind, however, there was a turmoil.

Due to his growing affection, Simond has been rather accommodating to Abigail. Yet, it's also because of that,

Stephen perished, and our two younger brothers snatched the fortress while we were in a dire situation, hiding

on the run like subway rats.

The mission was not completed, and we still found ourselves living in the dark.

While Abigai? She was living such a happy life after returning to her parents, who loved her. Even Sean is helping

her rescue her friend despite what happened between them.

However, what about us?

"Harm Simond, and an execution awaits you." Sage dropped those words with such frigidity before she left the

scene.

After being bound for half a month, the wounds on Abigail's hands began to heal.

Simond also managed to survive.

However, one thing had changed-they were sworn enemies.

Yet, they had now bectrue adversaries.

That day, Sage finally reached out to Sean.

"Abigail is in our custody. If you want to spare her from our torment, do not attempt a rescue just yet. | have a

condition. Do as | say, and she will be returned to you," Sage stated coldly in front of Abigail. Despite Abigail's

less-than-cooperative attitude over the past few weeks, there was a glimmer of hope in her when she noticed

Sage contact Sean.

During their phone call, Sean listened and then requested, "I need to hear her voice."

Sage held the phone to Abigail's ear and prompted, "Speak!"

There was a moment's worth of hesitation on Abigail's part. "Decline if it's a risky move. Our priority is Luna's

life."

Sean's emotions eased after hearing Abigail. As he steadied himself, he responded with calmness, "I'm not

leaving you this time. No matter what, you're coming back. Alive." Search the (F)indN©velwebsite on Geegle

There were tears in Abigail's eyes. Her lips shook as she blurted, "Save Luna and Eric. | implore you, Sean. I'm

fine. I'm strong."
