Chapter 3 Summon that girl who wants to destroy my family

When Abigail woke up,Ethan was gone. It was probably work related. She lazily took her bath and brushed her hair while thinking of Liam's audacity yesterday.

Thinking back to when she met Liam,she couldn't believe how wild he'd grown. Abigail was an orphan,she was lucky to be put in one of the Frey's orphanages.

More lucky because she got a scholarship sponsored by the Frey's. She and Liam had been friends since they were kids. Every year,the Frey's would host a Christmas party for them at the orphanage,it was during one of such that she met Liam.

They ended up in the same school and grew acquainted. Liam was the sweetest kid back then. Now,he's like a monster.

Her parents had died way long ago,she couldn't remember a single thing that happened or if she still had any relatives.

She wondered what really went wrong between Liam and Ethan that drove a thick wedge between them. Whatever it was,it was better not to find out and open old wounds.

When she got downstairs to make breakfast,she noticed that her broken furniture had been replaced. The whole place had been swept real clean.

She smiled, sending a thank you text to Ethan. A few seconds later, Ethan called. "Hello love." His voice was deep and seductive.

"Good morning." Abigail greeted."How was your night?"

"Good. I had to leave early because of work." Ethan said.

"It's okay,I get it." Abigail was quite used to waking up alone.

"Ummm...I'm actually on a business trip and I won't be back for about a week. It's an emergency."

"Sure,It's fine." But her voice trembled. What if Liam returned? Who'd be there to protect her.

"Don't worry about Liam. I have guards around you. And if you still feel insecure then you can move to the mansion." Ethan reassured me.

"Thanks." Abigail whispered.

"I have to go now."

Pimmm

The call was cut.

Abigail slumped on the couch. She had this feeling that things were going to be worse with Ethan absent.

-

In a dark underground cell. Ethan dropped his phone on the table. "Lash him again!" He ordered.

Whip

"Argh!" Liam shouted.

"How dare you harass Abigail! She's my woman and you touched her." Ethan's anger was at its peak.

"You don't love Abigail,do you?" Liam struggled to say. His hands were tied to the two sides of the poll.His face covered in blood,his flesh cut open with a whip and his lungs struggling to breath.

"If you were someone else,you'd be dead already. He's to remain here till Abigail feels safe again." He said before walking out of the cell.

- Frey family mansion -

The old Pa Frey was having his morning tea when his daughter burst it. "Why do you lack manners like this?" Pa Frey was frustrated. His daughter was probably here to whine about things again.

"Something huge happened." Clara was not in the mood for long talk. Seeing how serious she was,Pa Frey dropped the tea cup he was holding and cleared his throat."What is it?" He asked.

"It's Ethan. He was seen with Liam's girlfriend." Clara dropped the bomb. "What?!" Pa Frey was shocked. Was his son trying to kill him?

"She seduced him father." Clara said. "Hmm" pa Frey frowned. "Call her over to the mansion right now." Frey ordered.

"Yes,father." Clara turned around,a victorious smile plastered on her face.

Abigail was surprised that pa Frey wanted her to come over. She knew her affair with Ethan couldn't be hidden forever. But she couldn't deny the fact that she was a bit scared. Maybe it was because of pa Frey's strictness or it was Ethan's absence.

The beauty of the Frey mansion was surprising to Abigail. There were no pictures of this place online. Only a rumor that whoever goes in doesn't come out.

Liam had always promised to bring her here one day. And now here she was to answer for her sins with his father. But,was loving and wanting someone a sin? She didn't want to want Ethan

But she did,and that's forbidden.

The maids led the way to Pa Frey's study. The old man was reading a book when she arrived. "Good afternoon, grandfather." She bowed her head while greeting but the old man threw her a look of disgust.

"What is it you want with my son?" Pa Frey went straight to the point. Abigail opened her mouth to speak,but no words came out.

"Are you a gold digger? Were you sent to ruin the image of the Frey family!" His voice was rising.

Cough cough

"Do you all want me dead?!"

"Grandfather,try to breathe. Your blood pressure is rising." Abigail said.

"What do you know! I'm not a kid!"

Cough cough

The old man coughed up blood. Abigail quickly ran over to his side and patted his back.

"Stop it, you're going to kill him!" Clara ran in.

Abigail didn't listen; she kept patting the old man's back, helping him to breathe.

"Get off him!" Clara pushed her away.

Pa Frey cleared his throat. "Stop it Clara. This young woman here saved my life." He smiled.

"Hmph" Clara frowned at Abigail.

"Young lady,why not stay for dinner. My chef is the best cook in this city." Pa Frey smiled at Abigail.

Abigail dusted off her dress before smiling. "Of course."

Abigail smiled to herself. The old man was the leader of the Frey family. Winning him over meant she was safe,at least.

The maids led her to a temporary guest room. The room was spacious and decorated in feminine style.

Abigail knew one thing for sure. The next few days with Ethan absent would be tough.

Meanwhile, Clara's rage was burning like the sun. "Why couldn't everything just go according to plan." She threw a glass cup at the wall.

"Calm down,mistress." Said Carli,the mamsion's head cook and Clara's right hand. "I've been the one beside grandfather all these years while Ethan was away. I am the housemistress,I won't let that bitch take it away from me." Clara's voice was laced with venom.

"First I had to deal with Caroline,and now it's Abigail."

"They'll be more chances mistress." Carli reassured.
