Chapter 41 Show me

Abigail craned her neck to get a better view. She waited in anticipation to get a glimpse of who these people were. Maybe she might even recognise some of them. Her head was almost touching the glass on the window as she looked towards the entrance. She was thankful that this house had a very good lighting system.

A few seconds ticked by before she finally saw a woman dressed in a beautiful evening gown walk out. Abigail just gaped at her. She couldn't see her face but she could tell from her silhouette that she may be slightly older, perhaps around her forties, yet still breathtakingly beautiful. She had that figure and aura of grace and elegance as well as authority that reminded Abi of the images of queens in many fantasy movies she had watched. Abi wondered who she was. If only she would look up so she could see her face!

Abigail stared at her as the woman walked towards the car where a man in a black suit held the door open for her.

Abi bit her lips as she thought that she would not be able to see her face but then, the woman suddenly halted. Abi didn't know why but her heart accelerated. She just knew that the woman was going to turn around and look up towards her.

Holding her breath, Abi didn't want to blink as she didn't want to miss this chance. However, the moment the woman was about to turn around and look at her, a pair of large hands covered her eyes and pulled her away from the window. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Abi instantly knew it was Alex.

"Alex! You're here! I see that your visitors are just leaving…" Abigail uttered the moment he removed his hand from her eyes.

"Unwanted visitors," he stressed and Abi swallowed at the displeasure in his eyes. As she stared at him in that moment, she saw that his eyes seemed to swirl with many secrets but he held them locked inside a treasure chest so beautiful you wouldn't dare to open it for fear of what you might find within.

It just looked as if he had a secret she wouldn't enjoy hearing about. But if she could, she would still want to know it. She didn't know why but she didn't only seem to be fascinated by the lights that this jellyfish was emitting, she was also curious about the poison he carried. And maybe it was outrageous of her but she was not scared, and even willing, to unravel whatever mysteries he was hiding.
