100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Fifty-Seven…

~~*****~~

The group arrived at Skyline Paradise Resort. It was a mountain resort wherein they would stay for one week. Aiden had already made all the preparations. He booked the entire place exclusively for them. No guests were allowed.

They were close to nature. They could do different outdoor activities here such as camping, mountaineering, hiking, rock climbing, sunset and sunrise watching, ziplining, and many more. They could also do star gazing at night.

They occupied five cabins. Stephen and Aiden would share a cabin. Nathan had no choice but to partner with his son, Ethan. Jane, on the other hand, would accompany her sister, Abigail since she would be the one taking care of her. Both Cherry and Dave would be alone in their respective cabins.

Not far away from their cabins, Tatsumi and his men would be staying, watching them twenty-four hours. They would do shifting. In short, Tatsumi couldn't join the group since they were guarding them discreetly.

It was already noon time when they reached their destination. The group decided to take their lunch in the picnic area of the mountain resort. There was a vast grassland in the resort where they could settle and arrange their picnic sets.

The gentlemen allowed the ladies to rest while they set things up for their lunch. Picnic blankets and mats were arranged on the ground wherein eight people could occupy the space and share meals.

Aiden and Stephen picked up the food and drinks from the basket and placed the utensils and plates in their respective spots. Everyone had to sit on the ground while forming a circle so that they could face each other as they ate. The food was at the center.

"Dave, please call the ladies. Tell them we are going to eat our lunch," Aiden commanded Dave.

Dave was humble enough to obey Aiden. In the first place, he felt like he was the only outsider in the group. Dave wasn't close to Nathan, Stephen, and Aiden. He also sensed that Aiden and Nathan didn't expect that he would join them on this trip.

Jane was the one who invited him. Since Abigail was there, Dave didn't refuse the invitation. Besides, Jane didn't even ask him if he wanted to come or not. Her invitation appeared to be a command, rather than an invitation.

When Dave fetched the ladies from their respective cabins, Aiden got the chance to talk about him.

"Dave's presence here might ruin my plan! Abigail will rely on him and Dave will stick to her. How are we going to let Nathan have the opportunity to spend with Abigail without being disturbed by others, especially Dave!" Aiden lamented to them.

"This is Phantomflake's fault!" Aiden added, pouting his lips.

Stephen decided to stay quiet. He wanted to be neutral for both parties. Furthermore, he couldn't question Phantomflake's decision. As a psychologist, he could also see the importance of Dave's presence since Abigail became more comfortable when he showed up. 

It would be hard for her to socialize with them right away since she didn't have any memories related to them. For her, they were all strangers. So inviting Dave was a good choice. However, the probability of Aiden's plan to succeed decreased because of Dave.

"I think she intentionally invited Dave to separate me from her sister," Nathan spoke up through his gritted teeth. He was also blaming Jane for this.

"Guys, relax. We are here to enjoy. Don't be a negative thinker. We can think of an alternative plan," Stephen said, pacifying his two best friends.

"My brain is exhausted. You two can think of another plan. My two best friends are smarter than me!" Aiden put his hands on both Nathan and Stephen.

"Okay. I will help in diverting Dave's attention away from Abigail. We can make an arrangement wherein Nathan and Abigail will be left alone in one place. Grab that opportunity to show your love and sincerity toward her, Nate." Stephen reassured them.

Nathan could only nod his head. He would depend on his two best friends. He just hoped everything would work out just fine.

'I'll do my best,' Nathan thought to himself, his eyes filled with determination.

Meanwhile, Dave reached the cabin where Abigail and Jane were staying. The two sisters already unpacked their things when they heard a knock. Jane was the one who opened the door for Dave.

"Ladies, are you hungry? The lunch is ready." Dave informed them with a bright smile on his face.

Abigail smiled back as soon as she saw him. "Come in," she softly said, inviting him in.

Dave paused for a moment, shifting his gaze from Abigail to Jane. He was asking Jane's permission first before entering the room. Jane just bobbed her head as she gave him a go signal.

Abigail immediately held his hand as they faced Jane. "Sis, this is Dave. My boyfriend!" Abigail sounded so proud as she introduced Dave to her elder sister, Jane.

Jane just let out a soft giggle and said, "Yes, I know. I already met him. And I know he is your boyfriend."

"But… Nathan is also your boyfriend. Your current boyfriend," Dave reminded them. He wanted to be fair since he could understand what Nathan was going through right now. 'And I guess, they organized this trip for Nathan and Abigail. They didn't want me here.' Dave added to his thoughts.

"Dave. My sister only remembers you. She only remembers loving you, not anyone else. So don't let Nathan intimidate you. You are my sister's boyfriend. Period!" Jane was rooting for Dave.

Abigail also agreed with her sister's last remarks. "Don't worry, Dave. I will fix this. I promise. I know my heart. And it only beats for you."

Jane's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. She was glad since Abigail only set her eyes on Dave. This situation was advantageous for her.

"Yeah. The two of you must not worry about anything else. Just enjoy this trip. Leave Nathan to me. Okay? I will make sure that no one will disturb the two of you." Jane winked at them, showing her full support for the couple.

"See, even my sister likes you for me. We have her approval. So worry not!" Abigail leaned on Dave's shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his body. She was so clingy to her boyfriend because she wanted him to feel that he was the only man she loved.

'I'm happy for my sister. She already found the love of her life. Sigh… I wonder if I can also make Nathan fall for me… Is he the one for me… or will he become the death of me?' Jane heaved a deep sigh.
