Christopher took some time to come back to his senses. "Abi…" He murmured, realizing that she was not inside the room. He suddenly felt empty in his stomach.
Such a sensation was unsettling. It gave him the impression that he had lost something valuable.
He dashed out of the room and saw her leaving. He ran up to her and stood directly in front of the main door, blocking her path.
Abigail was determined. She wouldn't stay here when he was so suspicious of her.
"Leave my way," she said.
"No… You are not going anywhere," he stated unequivocally.
"I have no reason to stay here. Your parents are right. This marriage should end. I am not suitable for this family… for you…" Her voice broke at this point. "Vivian is perfect for you."
"What nonsense! Why do you bring her up? Hiss…" He wrinkled his nose in annoyance. "Why are you even saying all this? Do you think I will leave you?"
He grabbed her arm once again and snarled, "I married you to keep you by my side forever."
