"Yes," Abi replied shamelessly. She was really angry, so he should apologize to her.
"What can I do to make you angrier?" He asked with a smile. Abi looked at her husband and observed him. He was really a crazy man for asking her that stupid question.
"Rest for a little bit after eating. We're going to France," He began to eat his food after dishing it out himself. Abi continued looking at him until she heard his annoying voice.
"Why do you keep looking at me? Do you want my baby to be a dummy that looks at people without saying anything?" Abi heaved a sigh when he insulted her again. Can't he do without insulting her?
"Why did you say I shouldn't bring up Singapore?" Abi asked Leo with a frown on her face.
"Just don't. I hold bad memories of that place," Leo drank some water and continued, "I have a trauma." Abi took a long pause when he answered her. She doesn't want to tell him that Butler Lee already told her about his trauma. She just waited for him to eat a little before asking him to shed more light on it.
"What happened?" Abi asked softly.
"I was kidnapped," Leo took a long look at his curious wife. He watched her reactions closely and couldn't find any on her beautiful face. "It was a long time ago, but I can't forget it."
"What did they do to you?" Abi asked with a curious expression.
"Just a little torture here and there. I was abused sexually a lot by many women there," Leo explained, and Abi felt the pain in his voice as he told her.
"What do you mean sexually? Did they…?" Abi left her sentence hanging because of where she was going.
"Yes," Leo said.
"What's yes?" Abi scoffed. What does he think of her?
"What did you think I wanted to ask you?"
"I know your mind. You're not that innocent, you know," Leo told her, and she began to cough.
"I need to rest," Abi stood up from the chair noisily. Why would he say such a thing to her?! What does he mean by she's not innocent?
Leo watched her leave quickly and saw her turn her back around.
"I'm serious. I don't know what you were talking about!" A blush crept into her cheeks as she yelled at him and ran up the stairs.
Worry took a quick trip to Leo's face as he saw her run. The two of them were on their way to the airport in three hours. He literally dragged Abi to the place. Why would he let her go to another man?
Abi was stunned by Leo's private jet. She had thought she would be going in a regular plane or so, but her husband really impressed her. Leo was actually going crazy. He kept looking in his wife's direction every now and then to make sure she doesn't faint.
She was sweating so much, and her eyes kept looking tired. That should be his fault. He had dragged her to come to France even though she had told him of her tiredness. He was jealous and thought she was using the excuse to make him leave alone so Julian would go on a date with her.
But he didn't know. He was sure of the fact that Roman and his mother-in-law would kill him if anything happens to her. Her stupid ex-boyfriend was also there.
Abi was surprised when Leo took her hand in his. She looked at him to find out what's wrong.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly, and she thought she was already hearing things. She thought she was already in heaven for her to hear her husband speak to her so softly.
"I'm fine," Abi said with a very low voice. Her lips were chapped, and she was sweaty. She still looked very pretty despite the tiredness.
"I...I need to sleep for some minutes," Abi told him. Leo placed his hand on her sweaty forehead and was shocked. Her temperature was running so high, and he began to panic.
"Please take me to the bed," Abi whispered to him softly.
"Oh," Leo got up and took her hand. He watched her get on the bed and asked her if she wanted anything.
"I'm fine," Abi replied and fell asleep immediately she was comfortable on the bed. Leo began to panic again. He called Roman while he watched every move of his wife.
"It's so early for you to call me, Leo. Don't worry. Just wish me happy birthday and let's get it over with," Roman was excited, but Leo furrowed his brows.
"Why would I wish you happy birthday when my wife is dying?" He roared with annoyance.
"What?! Abi—"
"She was looking so tired, Roman. She was also sweating and was running a high temperature. She's sleeping at the moment, so what can I do for her?" Leo asked with a frown.
"What do you think?" Roman asked him.
"If I knew what to do, would I have called you?" Leo hissed.
"Do you remember what I did the last time I came over to check her?" Roman asked.
"Yeah. The towel stuff?" Leo arched his brow.
"Great," Roman heaved a sigh. "I'll send you prescriptions for some medicine when you've landed. Do that first and let me know when her fever is gone."
Leo listened to him, and his aura became dark. "Who told you I'm in a flight?"
"Come on, Leo. I knew you won't be coming for my birthday party, so I brought the party to you. The party would be at your hotel. Everyone is there, including Cedric and your prisoner. Bye."
Leo closed his eyes to heave a long sigh. There's no need to guess who the person was. It was all Darcy. He's sure that Darcy must have told his friends about his visit to France.
He quickly tended to Abi and ordered a gift for Roman for his birthday. He worked on his laptop in Abi's room throughout the flight. He didn't sleep at all and kept watching her till it was time to land.
Ophelia grabbed the sheets and tightened them on her boobs when Ronny came in. He was holding a bottle of champagne in his hand with two glasses.
"So, are you sure that no one saw you?" Ophelia smirked because he was naked. Ronny laughed and joined her on the bed after pecking her lips.
"They did, but they can't have the d," He laughed, and she joined in the laughter.
"They touched it?" Ophelia was jealous.
"Let's have a toast," Ronny ignored her question and began to pour the alcoholic wine into their glasses.
"To?" Ophelia raised her brow.
"New beginnings," Ronny answered and moaned as soon as Ophelia held his cock.
"What?" Ophelia whispered and clicked her glass with his. She began to stroke his dick and play with his penile raphe. He was getting harder and erected.
She smiled and took out her phone from under the pillow. "Wow. Guess what's trending," She inquired from him with an evil grin.
"What?" Ronny asked with a low voice.
"Leo and that bitch is trending!" Ophelia took her hand away from his cock and smashed her phone to the floor. She got up from the bed in anger and wore her robe immediately.
Ronny also searched for his phone and saw what she was talking about. 'LEONARDO GREY AND HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND SHOWS UP TO ROMAN SKYE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY AT FRANCE.' Ronny began to laugh and started scrolling down to see the pictures and videos.
"This bitch is really hot," Ronny said and began to stroke himself. Ophelia looked at him in anger and pure jealousy.
"Are you following me or not?" She asked him.
"To?" Ronny asked without looking at her.
"To France, idiot!" Ophelia hissed and tied her belt around her waist.
"Now?" Ronny raised his head with a frown.
"Whatever," Ophelia rolled her eyes and walked out of the room. Ronny got up from the bed swiftly and took his underwear from the ground. He wore it and grabbed his trousers from the ground.
He picked out a random shirt and ran out of his room. "Babe?" He yelled as he ran out.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you, Roman!
Happy birthday to you.
How old are you now?
How old are you now?
How old are you now, Roman?!
How old are you now?
Everyone looked at the birthday boy to speak, but he was so drunk that he couldn't say anything. He just stared at them and began to clap his hands too.
His girlfriend was so mad and decided to speak for him. "He's twenty-seven now. He's twenty-seven now. He's twenty-seven years today! He's twenty-seven now."
His girlfriend sat down back and held his hand. He can't end up disgracing both of them. She'll make sure she kills him the next morning when he's very sober.
We wish you
A merry happy return
Of your day!
Long life
And prosperity
Hip! Hip! Hip! Hurray!
Hip! Hip! Hip! Hurray!
Roman's girlfriend thanked them for coming to the party and announced, "Let the night party begin!"
Everyone began to leave in groups, and the DJ took over the event. The music was loud, and the fashion was so crazy. Leo was trapped. Darcy was nowhere to be found to rescue him from Dominic, Logan, and Benjamin.
Leo had known three of them would never miss the birthday party for anything in the world. They would rather lose a deal than miss a party. At times, Leo would sit to wonder why their companies hadn't hit rock bottom. He would then remember that they had other sources of income if one crashes. Bastards!
"I need to tuck Abi in," Leo came up with an excuse. He was sure that the three wanted him drunk.
"We all know that you've never done that ever since you both got married. You don't love her, so why would you do that?" Benjamin sneered, and Leo heaved a sigh. Yeah, they hit him.
Speaking of Abi...
Abi was on the dance floor with Matilda. They'd turned best friends after realizing they had many things in common. The two were dirty dancing with men they'd never known in their lives. Leo let her be because he was angry. Silent anger; that's what he had towards her that night.
She had loosened her hair and let it fall to her waist. She was so free and full of energy. She had participated in all the games and won them like that criminal. Both were so good, and they knew how to talk to people. They also knew how to make men very angry and jealous.
Cedric was also brooding in a corner as he talked with a client while Leo was listening to his friends. The DJ began to play a famous TikTok song that had Indian vibes. Abi and Matilda screamed and jumped around after hearing the sound.
Wait a minute! The people screamed and began to scream on top of their voices. Some began to make videos and take pictures.
"Get it how you live it
Ten toes in when we standin' on business
I'm a big stepper
Underground methods
Top-notch hoes get the most
Not the lesser"
Abi suddenly went to a corner and barfed. Matilda was alarmed when she saw that. She quickly ran to get water to attend to her. She looked around for the men, but they were nowhere in sight. She looked around for Cedric, but he was not around too. He had been glaring at her throughout the dance.
"You need to rest," Matilda informed Abi, who hissed after hearing her advice.
"Why would I rest when the party is not over?" Abi grabbed her hand and pulled her to the bartender.
"What can I do for you, ladies?" The bartender asked them.
Matilda began to eye the bartender and mouthed, "Ignore her."
The bartender didn't hear what she was trying to convey to him and looked at Matilda in a confused manner.
"Give me a drink that's a little bit strong and can get me drunk in five minutes. I need to challenge her!" Abi looked at Matilda and began to laugh.
"Ignore her," Matilda mouthed again to the bartender and pretended to pick dirt from her blouse.
The bartender seemed to be deaf to what Matilda was telling him without speaking out loud because he began to pour alcohol into Abi's glass. Matilda widened her eyes when she saw that. She knew she should collect the alcohol from Abi, but she just watched her drink.
It was the first glass. That was when Matilda decided to drink too. Then it was the second glass when Abi began to cry. Matilda stopped drinking to listen to her new friend. She was crying so much and saying some things Matilda couldn't hear.
"Why me, Matilda?!" Abi cried out loud and slammed her glass on the table. "Third one!" She yelled at the bartender, who was also listening to her stylishly.
Matilda didn't know what she was talking about. "Why you?" Matilda asked.
"I...I'm married to a person that doesn't even want me," Abi broke down in tears.
"Mr. Leo?" Matilda asked, because that was the person she had seen her with all day.
"Yes," Abi sobbed.
"I never knew you were married to that bastard," Matilda murmured with displeasure.
"What?" Abi raised her brows. She didn't hear what she had said.
"Why did you get married to him when he doesn't love you? Do you love him?" Matilda yelled at Abi. Her case was quite similar to hers, but no one really knew her story. The main story behind her career as a badass hacker on earth.
At the party, she became a prisoner because of Leo and his lawyer. She was refused permission to talk to people about business and only had to be there for fun and keep her new friend company. Two bastards?! One bastard risked his life for her to live, and another one wants her life or a favor to be returned when he wants it.
Abi began to cry, and Matilda had to pat her back and tell her not to worry.
"I'm pregnant for that bastard! I'm not happy. I'm not feeling loved by my husband. No one likes me around him!" Abi cried so much that Matilda feared for her health. She was scared that if anything happens to her, she would be really killed for real.
"I need to drink some," Abi took her glass, already filled by the bartender, and gulped it down her throat. "Drink with me, Matilda," Abi urged her, and watched her carry her glass to her lips. She also drank it in one go as they cried together.
The music had changed to a classical one, and Abi began to feel dizzy. Her head was spinning, and she felt hot.
The crowd went mad after seeing Ophelia at Roman's party with Ronny. They began to take photos while Ophelia basked in the fame and recognition she was receiving from them.
"Are you here for your fiancé?" they asked her.
"Of course," Ophelia beamed a smile. "If not him, who would I be here for?"
"Are you saying that you never wanted to be here for Roman's party?" Someone was bold enough to ask.
"That's nonsense. Roman and I are friends," Ophelia quickly corrected herself.
"What about you?" Their eyes moved to Ronny.
"Me?" Ronny was surprised that they would question him too.
"I'm also here for the party," He stammered as he replied to them.
"Where's my fiancé?" Ophelia sang and went to look for Leo.
The girls flocked to Ronny after realizing he was single. Ronny didn't have a choice but to keep them entertained. The men were not in sight, so he was the feast for their eyes.
"He's always insulting me, Matilda. I even cooked for him, but he never appreciated my effort. I've always wished to cook for my man like that. Even when I was with Julian, he was always praising me, even if I fart," Abi cried.
Matilda laughed so hard that tears began to fall from her eyes. Was Abi really conscious of her environment?
"Why are you laughing?" Abi was not happy that Matilda was also making fun of her.
"You don't like me too!" Abi began to cry and tried to take her cup, but she couldn't.
"You!" She pointed at her husband and frowned immediately.
Matilda froze when she saw Leo so close to her. He was frowning so much that she quickly made up an excuse to flee.
"Leave me!" Abi took his hands away from hers and glared at him. She staggered as she stood up from her seat.
Leo quickly carried her in bridal style out of the place. She began to cry like before. She began to punch him, but he just ignored her and took her to their room. He locked the door behind him.
Abi was alarmed when she saw that. She was not in her complete senses, but she knew she was with her cold husband.
"I need my phone. I need to see Julian before I sleep," Abi told her husband.
Leo hissed when he heard that. His wife would dare call another man when he was with her for the night. He grabbed her phone and she stared at him. He knew she was drunk and he was mad. Why would she drink alcohol when she was pregnant?
Was she dumb?! He had heard everything she was telling Matilda. His eyes had turned cold and hard, lacking affection, as she cried out to her new friend.
Abi began to take her blouse off. Leo's ears turned red when his eyes caught her white lace bra.
"What are you doing?" Leo stammered and looked away.
"My boobs are heavy. Can you massage them?" Abi took off her bra and set her throbbing boobs free.
