100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 280 The Deal Between Abi And Nate

Day Thirty Two…

~~*****~~

[ At Sparks Mansion… ]

Abigail was staring at her reflection in the large mirror. She was still wearing the arm sling of her right hand. Two days from now, she could already remove the arm sling. Fortunately, her gunshot wounds recovered fast. She had to attend the Star Gala in five days.

Abigail exhaled deeply. Lots of things happened this week. Nathan uncovered many revelations about her. They confronted each other several times. But in the end, they ended up making another deal.

"Damn! Nathan wants to hear everything I know about Shining Star. But the Shining Star I know is myself… not Monica." Abigail lamented.

Nathan required Abigail to meet him at his study every Wednesday night and Friday night just to talk about Monica and her relationship with her. Abigail had no choice but to agree. This was one of his conditions to release Black Rose.

"Should I say that the Shining Star he knew is an impostor?" Abigail continued her monologue in front of the mirror. After a while, Abigail shook her head. She didn't have proof. Nathan would not believe her. She couldn't afford to argue with Nathan again. They just reconciled. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Abigail massaged her temples using her left hand. She was racking her brain about what she would do next. Then an idea popped up in her head.

"I know what to do. I should grab this opportunity to ask Nathan how did he meet Monica. I will gather some information on how Monica became Shining Star. Maybe through this, I will be able to figure out if she pretended to be me or if Nathan just mistook her for me."

Abigail snapped her fingers and looked at the mirror with her sparkling emerald eyes. She just found a great chance to slowly solve the mystery surrounding Monica.

Knock! Knock!

Abigail was interrupted when she heard the knocking sound of the door. She turned around, facing the door of her bedroom. "Wait. I'm coming," Abigail mumbled, tracing her steps toward the door.

After opening the door, Nathan's gorgeous face greeted her sight. He looked very refreshed this morning as compared to his stressed look yesterday.

"Are you ready?" Nathan asked her, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom.

The two of them were going to take Black Rose out of the Police Station. She was detained in the precinct yesterday as per instruction of Nathan. But because of the deal he made with Abigail, he would release Black Rose. He promised not to harm her. If Veronica would learn about this, she would certainly explode in fury.

Abigail nodded. "Yes. Let's go."

Nathan stepped to the side, letting Abigail walk ahead. He was the one who closed the door behind them. Then he guided Abigail downstairs as if he was her bodyguard. Two bodyguards and the chauffeur were waiting for them outside.

"Where is Chantha?" Abigail wondered as she didn't see her lady bodyguard. She had been missing for the past few days.

"She's in the headquarters, taking care of something," Nathan plainly responded. In fact, Chantha was taking care of Axel since she felt responsible for what happened to him. Axel protected her so she felt the urge to look after him until he recovered.

Abigail had no idea that the Syphiruz Mafia also had casualties during the mission. Their comrades got severely injured as well, including Axel.

When they arrived at the police precinct, Cherry was already sitting in the waiting lounge. Her hands were no longer restrained by the handcuffs. She was now free and she still had no idea what happened.

"Abi!" Cherry stood up the moment she saw Abigail. She waved her hand at her but she stopped midway when Nathan appeared behind Abigail. 'Damn! My Big Boss who got me arrested is also here…' Cherry shot Nathan a cold sharp glare.

Abigail pursed her lips, trying to hold her laughter. She noticed Cherry's reaction when she saw Nathan. She understood why she was upset with Nathan. Furthermore, Cherry had no idea how Nathan found out that she was Black Rose, an infamous hacker.

Cherry was looking daggers at Nathan. She ignored him and walked towards Abigail. She pounced on her and hugged her gently, making sure that Abigail's injured hand wouldn't get hurt.

Abigail hugged her back, tapping her shoulder using her left hand. "I got your back, Cherry. You have nothing to worry about anymore," she whispered in her ear.

Cherry closed her eyes, savoring this feeling of comfort brought by Abigail. She was acting like a big sister to her even though she was older than her. Abigail was only 21 years old while she was 24 years old.

"Cherry," Nathan called her attention. He motioned her to let go of Abigail. He thought Cherry was hugging Abigail tightly. Abigail's hand was pressed in between their bodies. He was worried that Abigail would be in pain.

Glowering her eyes at Nathan, Cherry gently let go of Abigail. "Mr. Sparks, why are you here?" Cherry gave him a cold shoulder. Abigail immediately grabbed her hand and gave her a warning look.

"Don't be so rude. He is here to take you out," Abigail murmured to her.

Cherry was rendered speechless. She turned to Abigail, disbelief resurfacing in her eyes. "Is that true?"

Abigail smiled and bobbed her head. "Yes."

Cherry immediately bowed her head and thanked Nathan. "Thank you, Mr. Sparks!"

"I'm sorry. This is just a mistaken identity." The police who arrested Cherry yesterday apologized to her. Nathan would never apologize because he knew the truth. Cherry was Black Rose.

Cherry heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't say anything and just focused her attention on Abigail.

"Come with us. We are going somewhere…" There was a gleam in her eyes when she invited Cherry. She knew that Cherry would be happy once she saw her surprise to her. Then Abigail glanced at Nathan meaningfully. Abigail made another proposal to Nathan last night. Luckily, Nathan listened and agreed to her.

Nathan talked to the Police Chief before leaving the station. Abigail and Cherry waited for him in the car. Since they were left alone inside the car, the two ladies got the chance to talk privately.

"Miss Abi… is this true? Nathan Sparks will no longer send me to the police. Do you know how he found out that I am Black Rose?" Cherry asked Abigail curiously.

Abigail faced Cherry, holding her hand. "Cherry, listen to me. Starting today you will be working for Nathan and his company. You will no longer be a cook. But you will use your computer skills for Nathan."

"Huh? Why should I do that?" Cherry was against this idea.

"Because I made a deal with him… both of us will benefit from this deal. Can you please cooperate? This is for your own safety." Abigail explained to Cherry.

But Cherry was not convinced about this. She shook her head frantically. "I have a mission to do, Abi. I have to find Phantomflake. I need to rescue her. I must destroy the Syphiruz Mafia… for my sisters. I want to avenge them…"

Abigail's heart clenched in pain. She was the root cause of this. She was arrogant to challenge Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia that she foolishly accepted that mission. She was the one who brought demise to her assassin guild. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

'I have to fix this. Black Rose doesn't need to do the revenge.'

"Cherry… If Phantomflake is here, she will tell you to listen to me. Your safety is more important to her than revenge…"

Cherry just fell silent. She couldn't decide as of now.

"Just come with us. I will show you something. I just hope… after this, you will finally listen to me." Abigail gently squeezed her hand. She would do anything to protect the only sister she had left. That was none other than Black Rose.

Cherry didn't know what to feel. She just sat there quietly. Then Nathan joined them. Leaving the police station, the three of them headed to a private villa. Both Abigail and Cherry were surprised when Stephen and Aiden welcomed them at the entrance gate.

Cherry: "Dr. Zhou? Aiden?"

Abigail: "Stephen… Aiden…" She glanced at Nathan, giving him a puzzled look. She thought he would bring them to a medical facility.

"She is here," Nathan mumbled, answering the questioning look in Abigail's eyes.

"I can't let her stay in the same place where she was taken away." Nathan added. He said it in a low voice that only Abigail could only hear his words.
