SEDUCING THE DEVIL - Season 2 Episode 72

Day Nineteen…

~~*****~~

Abigail erased Jun Shen from the list of suspects. With his financial instability, he couldn’t afford to pay someone and do dirty work for him.

After meeting Jun Shen and making sure that he would be in prison, Nathan and Abigail left the police headquarters. Abigail was very silent during their trip. She was still thinking about Nathan’s last words.

She didn’t expect that Nathan would do such a thing for her sake. Was he doing this because of Ethan or because of his own will?

​ “Are we going back home now?” Abigail asked when she noticed that the car made a turn, taking another route.

“We are dropping by somewhere to meet your bodyguard,” Nathan nonchalantly replied.

Abigail could only sigh helplessly. So today, Nathan would introduce her to her new bodyguard. Since he told her that the service of the lady bodyguard was not free, she had to earn some money.

“I’m grounded for two weeks, right?” Abigail glanced at him with her puppy-eyed look. She was getting used to acting cute in front of him. She was learning to be more feminine for her mission’s sake.

“Yes, you are. Why?” Nathan turned to look at her, raising his eyebrow.

“In three weeks… My company is having the annual gala. I am planning to attend it for my comeback. The party is called Star Gala. Many producers, sponsors, and investors will attend it so it is very important for us to show up and get their attention, impressing them!” Abigail sounded like she was asking Nathan’s consent for her to attend the gala.

Nathan remained quiet, just staring at her.

“Will you allow me to attend?” Abigail finally asked him, biting her lower lip.

Nathan blinked, trying to absorb her words. ‘Why is she asking permission from me? It’s not my place to stop her from doing so. It’s the nature of her job.’

“You don’t have to ask me that. It’s not that I am forbidding you to attend a party,” Nathan plainly said.

“Then why did you ground me for two weeks?” Abigail asked him back with her innocent look.

“Because you tend to do reckless things. How can you roam around in the city if the mastermind for your attempted murder hadn’t been caught yet?” Nathan reasoned out, justifying his action.

“Why? Are you going to catch the real culprit in two weeks?” Abigail sounded like she was challenging him.

“What would I get if I help you?” Nathan asked her sarcastically.

He didn’t plan on helping her directly. He already had a lot on his plate. As much as possible, he didn’t want to get involved further with Abigail. Nathan could see danger signs whenever he would see Abigail.

Meanwhile, Abigail fell silent for a moment, rubbing her chin as she racked her brain for a good answer. What could she offer him so that he would help her out in catching the culprit?

She wanted to use Nathan’s resources to catch the culprit as soon as possible. This was the least she could do for the real Abigail. She owed that woman as she was the one using Abigail’s body.

‘Gosh. This is a tricky question. Nathan already has everything– money and power!’ Abigail thought to herself as she frowned.

After a while, Abigail gazed at him, meeting his blue eyes. A small smile crept on her lovely face as she responded, “You can have ME. Help me, and I’m all Yours!” Abigail even winked at Nathan.

“Cough! Cough!” Nathan choked because of Abigail’s shamelessness. Then a loud thud was heard.

*Screech!*

“Hey, careful!” Abigail complained when the car went into a sudden halt. The chauffeur was also dumbstruck by Abigail’s remarks. He ended up stepping on the brake.

“I’m sorry, Master… Miss Abi. I got distracted,” the chauffeur admitted right away. Then he anxiously took a peek at them through the rearview mirror.

‘Gosh! Miss Abigail is so bold. Our Master hates women who try to flirt with him. I wonder how our Master will react,’ the Chauffeur mused to himself, secretly observing the two people in the back passenger seat.

On the other hand, Nathan pretended not to hear Abigail. He just turned his head, looking outside through the car window. He tried to compose himself, trying to control his emotion. He didn’t expect that Abigail would become playful again, offering him herself! Was this some kind of a bribe?

‘Aiden told me that Abigail was different. She wouldn’t offer herself to any men in exchange for anything. Why is she saying this right now?’ Nathan had conflicting thoughts about that. It seemed that he was confused right now.

Meanwhile, Abigail noticed that Nathan put a distance between them so she narrowed her eyes and folded her arms over her chest.

‘Is he trying to avoid me again?’

“Mr. Sparks, we are not yet done talking. So what is your answer? Will you take it or leave it?” Abigail reached out, tugging the tip of his sleeve. She was forcing Nathan to look at her.

Nathan shifted his gaze back to her as he feigned ignorance. “What are you talking about?”

Abigail rolled her eyes skyward as Nathan pretended to forget what they were discussing a while ago.

“Hmm, do you want me to repeat my words again? Ahem… are you having fun? Ahuh! Perhaps, you love to hear me saying you can Have Me and I’m all Yours!” Abigail emphasized her words, teasing Nathan further.

Nathan squinted his eyes at her shamelessness while the chauffeur tried his best to hold his laughter.

“Admit–” Abigail was not able to continue her words as Nathan already covered her mouth using his hand.

“Ummm!” Abigail created a muffling sound as she tried to remove Nathan’s palm that was pressed against her lips.

Nathan gave her a warning look to just shut up since she was spouting nonsense. He just wished to seal her mouth even for a moment.

But Abigail tried to struggle. In the end, she bit his hand, punishing Nathan for covering her mouth and interrupting her words.

Nathan just groaned and shot her a cold sharp glare. How dare she bite him just like that. Noticing Nathan’s dark expression, Abigail felt a little bit guilty. She could see the bite mark of her teeth on the side of his palm.

‘Damn! I overdid it!’ Abigail cursed inwardly as she saw the reddened part of his palm. It somehow bled a little.

Nathan was about to pull his hand away from Abigail but she immediately tugged it upward, bringing it closer to her face.

“I’m sorry,” Abigail softly mumbled, making Nathan pause for a moment. Then the next thing Abigail did was put the wounded side back into her mouth and began sucking it.

Nathan: “…”

Chauffeur: “…”

Nathan felt goosebumps spreading throughout his body when Abigail’s soft lips gently sucked his bite mark. She even subconsciously licked him with her tongue.

Nathan’s eyes went round, eyeing her with disbelief. His mind went blank for a moment as he was utterly shocked. She was like a cute puppy licking his wound.

‘What the hell is she doing?’ Nathan wondered to himself. His angry expression disappeared and it was replaced by a flustered one. He could feel his cheeks and ears burning as he watched her.

For some unknown reason, Nathan found her gesture very sensual. It awakened something deep inside him. Was it a desire?

His eyes never left her. He followed every movement of her lips. How he wished it was his lips she was nibbling and sucking right now.

Nathan was still staring at her intently when Abigail shifted her gaze to him, thus making eye contact with him, the side of his palm was still in between her lips.

And once again… Nathan’s heart skipped a beat and began to run wild inside his chest.

Badum! Badum!

He felt like the atmosphere around them suddenly rose to a certain degree. ‘Why do I feel so hot?’ Nathan gulped hard, his eyes darkened with lust.

He had the urge to capture those red kissable lips and pushed her down in that back passenger seat. Damn! What a temptress?!

Nathan clenched his teeth, still restraining himself. He wanted to keep his rational mind and stop himself from doing something he might regret.

When he was about to lose control, Abigail released his palm but she continued blowing some air on it. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt. It’s just that I was pissed off by your rude behavior. How could you interrupt my words by covering my mouth?” Abigail complained as she pouted her lips.

Nathan was at a loss for words. He didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t recovered his wits yet. His heart was beating so fast and he was at the last strand of his self-control.

Feeling embarrassed that he felt something he was not supposed to feel, Nathan yanked his hand away from her and turned to the other side, hiding his burning cheeks.

Abigail took his silence as a sign that he was mad at her. But little did she know, Nathan was no longer upset. He just wanted to calm his racing heart.

Meanwhile, the chauffeur who witnessed that scene had a flabbergasted look on his face. He averted his gaze back to the road but his mind was still in shock.

‘Oh my Gosh. What I have seen? Did I just see our Master blushing a while ago? Am I not imagining it? Master Nathan’s face turned crimson red!’ The chauffeur was screaming in his mind.
