100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Four…

~~*****~~

Abigail's eyes were just fixated on the monitor screen. She felt the chill as Nathan's words resounded in her ears. [ Phantomflake is mine! ]

Nathan said those words clearly with his cold sharp eyes. She even felt the hair on her skin stand up from the chill, her stomach churned.

Nathan was truly the Devil she knew. He wanted to torture her and make her suffer in his own hands. But why did her heart race faster? Was she afraid? Anxious? Or Flattered?

'Damn! What am I thinking?' Abigail shook her head and gently slapped her reddened face using both hands. Instead of thinking about bloody punishment, Abigail ended up imagining herself being thrown by Nathan on the bed and… Nathan was doing a different kind of 'punishment'.

Abigail immediately folded the laptop when Little Ethan sat down next to her.

"Miss Abi? Why did you fold the laptop? I want to see my Dad. What is he doing right now?"

Abigail shook her head frantically and said, "Little Ethan… Let's respect your father's privacy. If you want to know more about this incident, go and ask him yourself."

Abigail didn't want Ethan to learn about Phantomflake's existence. Would Ethan hate her also, especially if he found out Phatomflake was the one who killed his mother?

"Okay, Miss Abi. I understand," Ethan obediently mumbled.

"Let's go downstairs and eat our breakfast." Abigail smiled faintly, concealing her anxiousness.

'What a great mess the Red Dragon Mafia had caused today? Are they trying to wage a war against the Syphiruz Mafia?' Abigail mused to herself as she stood up. Little Ethan grabbed her hand as they both left Ethan's playroom.

The two headed to the kitchen where Cherry was preparing their breakfast together with her assistant cooks and maids.

Abigail glanced at Cherry worriedly. Nathan's last remarks were now embedded in her mind– [ I swear… whoever did this… I will destroy them... ]

'I must warn Cherry. I don't want her to be implicated in this incident, otherwise, Nathan will make her life a living hell! I must protect her no matter what.' Abigail swore to herself. She was very concerned about Cherry's safety. She was the only survivor from their Assassin Guild.

After sharing a meal with Ethan, Abigail summoned Cherry in her room. She had to speak to her. This was for her safety. Cherry should avoid getting entangled with the Red Dragon Mafia.

"Miss Abi… why did you summon me here?" Cherry politely asked her. Though Abigail was younger than her, Cherry tried her best to become polite and respectful towards Abigail. She was the one who gave her this job opportunity. She owed her.

"I have something important to discuss with you," Abigail said with a serious expression on her pretty face.

Cherry felt a little bit uneasy whenever Abigail would become very serious. She was being reminded of Phantomflake. Her expression was similar to Phantomflake every time she was going to discuss important matters with her.

"Okay, Miss Abi. Is this about my computer skills?" Cherry asked her expectantly. "Do you think I'm a bad person because I am a hacker?"

Abigail quickly shook her head. "I can tell that you are not a bad person. I'm not judging you. In fact, I feel so proud of you for having those skills."

Cherry felt relieved when she heard Abigail's words. "Okay. So what do you want to talk about, Miss Abi?"

"I have one request from you…" Abigail paused for a moment. She was still thinking about what she should tell her to convince Cherry without giving away her identity as Phantomflake. She was not certain whether Cherry would listen to her and comply with her request.

"Just tell me… I am willing to listen." Cherry gave her a reassuring smile. Since Abigail helped her with her current job, she wanted to return the favor by fulfilling her request.

"Syphiruz Mafia and Red Dragon Mafia… please stay away from them. Don't get involved with them!" Abigail didn't hesitate to mention those two organizations. Cherry was rendered speechless. She didn't expect that an actress like Abigail would know these two powerful organizations.

"How did you know them?" Cherry asked her in disbelief.

"I have connections in the underground world… that's why I know them. This is my secret. Please, don't associate yourself with those organizations, especially the Red Dragon Mafia," Abigail said to her meaningfully.

Cherry's expression still showed how baffled she was but she tried to reason out with Abigail.

"I can't do that. I have to save my sister from the grasp of the Syphiruz Mafia and the Red Dragon Mafia is the only organization that can help me."

Abigail moved closer to her and held her shoulders tightly, her eyes filled with worries and concerns for Cherry.

"Can you please trust me? I will help you… just cut your ties with the Red Dragon Mafia. Don't join hands with them…" If Abigail was to choose, she would prefer to be in Nathan's territory instead of someone else's. Though Nathan was her mortal enemy, she felt more secure in his territory than in Red Dragon's territory.

She could tell that the Red Dragon Mafia just wanted to use Black Rose and her skills for their gains. Abigail didn't like Black Rose to become a puppet of another organization just to save her. She would rather save her own self.

Cherry gazed down, feeling conflicted. "But how… How can you help me? As you said, those two organizations are powerful and dangerous."

Abigail sighed deeply. She had the urge to tell her that she was Phantomflake so that Cherry would listen to her. But Cherry would just think of her as a crazy woman.

'Damn! C'mon, Phantomflake! Think! Think of a way to convince her?'

And after a few seconds, Abigail finally gave Cherry an answer.

"Nathan Sparks! He can help us. He is one of the most powerful men in this country. Give me two weeks, I will make him help you see your sister!"

Cherry: "..."
