100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-Two…

~~*****~~

Helena was satisfied with Abigail's expression. The shock and disbelief were evident on Abigail's face. She wasn't expecting to meet Helena Carlsen.

Helena tried her best to conceal her emotions. She feigned ignorance about meeting Abigail. She failed to recognize Abigail at that time because she was in disguise.

Wanting to provoke Abigail further, Helena hugged her. "Abi! I missed you. Long time no see! How have you been?"

Dave could only smile while watching the two ladies. He was the only one who genuinely felt happy about this reunion. He witnessed the closeness of Abigail and Helena when they were in Country R.

He was looking forward to these two ladies to bond again just like how they used to before. But unknown to him, Abigail wasn't in the mood to pretend that she was getting along with Helena.

If the real Abigail was close to her, Phantomflake was another story. She didn't like Helena. She could tell that she was a pretentious woman.

'I wonder if Helena and Veronica have already met. I intentionally sent Veronica to her so that they would deal with each other.' Abigail thought to herself, simply pushing Helena away from her. She felt so awkward hugging her rival.

'Holy sh*t! I almost forgot… I threatened her and told her that Nathan was my boyfriend… my man. Did she recognize me? What if she tells Dave about my actions?' Abigail was worried about Dave. She knew that Dave would be hurt once he heard what she said to Helena regarding her relationship with Nathan.

Abigail breathed in deeply, trying to figure out what she would do. Though she already talked to Dave about turning a blind eye to her actions, she couldn't guarantee that Dave wouldn't be affected by her relationship with Nathan.

After a while, Abigail forced a smile, greeting Helena back. "Helena… I'm sorry but I can't remember you. I had an accident and I lost my memory."

Abigail stared at Helena for a long moment, assessing her. She wondered if Helena figured out that she was the woman who confronted her at Celeste's boutique.

On the other hand, Helena's expression changed. Her smile disappeared and a hint of worry resurfaced in her eyes. "I'm so sorry to hear that, Abi. It made me sad because you couldn't remember us." She was acting very friendly toward Abigail. Then she glanced at Dave meaningfully.

"But wait… Have we met four days ago? I believe… I encountered someone whose name was similar to you but she has a different face." Helena concealed her mischievous smile. She was testing Abigail.

'Fvck! I knew it! She recognized me. And now, she is taunting me in front of Dave. What is she planning to do?' Abigail balled her fingers into fists while biting her lower lip. She could sense that Helena was up to no good.

'I have to be careful… This woman is a sly fox.' Abigail reminded herself.

"I might have met you… but failed to greet you properly because I couldn't remember you. If I happened to offend you, then please let it slide. It was not my intention." Abigail responded to Helena.

Helena just shrugged her shoulders. She wanted to commend Abigail because she knew how to play with her words.

"Okay, Ladies. Stop apologizing to each other. We are here to catch up together. I'll prepare some snacks, do you have any particular requests or preferences?" Dave acted like a mediator between the two ladies.

"Oh right. There is something I want to eat, Dave. Can you buy it for me? Abi also likes this snack." Helena typed something on her phone and showed it to Dave.

Dave could only bob his head. "Okay. Just stay here. I will go and buy this for both of you."

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Abigail crumpled her face. She had a nagging feeling about this. She could sense that Helena intentionally asked Dave to buy something so that he would leave them alone.

'She is a wise woman. I'm going to play along with her and find out her real motive.'

"Abi… I'm going out for a while. Are you okay to stay here with Helena alone?" Dave approached Abigail and consulted her first before leaving. He was always considerate of Abigail's feelings.

"Don't worry about me, Dave. You can go. We will be waiting here for you." Abigail allowed Dave to leave so that she could be alone with Helena. She wanted to know what Helena was up to.

Dave said goodbye to the ladies in the meantime. When Dave left, Helena invited Abigail to sit down on the balcony. There was a nice view there. But at the same time, she would like to test whether Abigail would be triggered by this since she fell off the balcony on the 13th floor of the Centerville Hotel.

Abigail hesitated for a moment. Her body had a fear of heights after what happened to the real Abigail. It was also funny since both of them developed a fear of heights. Suddenly, Abigail remembered how Nathan comforted her on the Ferris Wheel. She felt secured in his presence.

"Abi? Are you okay? Come here. Join me." Helena extended her right hand, urging Abigail to walk over. She was standing near the railings of the balcony.

'Is she afraid?' Helena hid her triumphant smile.

However, Abigail finally made a move, tracing her steps toward Helena. She stood next to her and watched the city view up there.

"Why are you here?" Abigail asked Helena.

"I have some business to do here. Why?" Helena promptly responded. They were exchanging some casual conversation, still sizing each other up.

"You shouldn't be here," Abigail said with a warning.

Helena let out a sarcastic laugh. "Are you threatening me again, Abi?"

Abigail pursed her lips. She knew it. Helena intentionally sent Dave out for them to have another confrontation.

Helena giggled when Abigail remained silent.

"Abi, have you informed Dave that you became Nathan's girlfriend? Did you and Dave break up? But why are you still with Dave?" Helena bombarded her with so many questions.

"Are you cheating on Dave?" Helena added.

Abigail clenched her jaw. She just confirmed that Helena was indeed a bitch!

'How come this woman was able to deceive the real Abigail? She doesn't deserve to have a manipulative friend like Helena. She is not trustworthy.' Abigail was ridiculing Helena in her subconscious.

"Abi… don't tell me… you chose to be with Nathan, instead of Dave? I pity him. He doesn't deserve this. He loves you so much. How can you betray him like this?" Helena seemed to grind more salt into her wound.

Helena thought she was winning. She patted Abigail's shoulder while clicking her tongue. "You should be honest with Dave, Abi."

Abigail could no longer hold her temper. She held the railings tightly then she glanced at Helena with her bloodshot eyes. 'She has no right to judge me and tell me this kind of thing. I'm not asking for her fake advice.'

Abigail was now ready to retaliate.

"You should say that to your own self, Helena," Abigail uttered meaningfully, stretching her lips into a devilish smile.

Helena's forehead creased into a fleeting frown. She immediately put on a smile, masking her confusion.

"Why do you think so?" Helena asked her, arching her eyebrow.

"You should be honest with Vincent. Have you informed Vincent that you became Nathan's fiancé? Did you and Vincent break up? According to Dave, you are still in a relationship with Vincent.  But you are Nathan's fiancé so why are you still with Vincent?" Abigail used the same words and tone Helena used a while ago when she bombarded her with so many questions.

Helena: "..."

Helena was at a loss for words. Vincent and Helena didn't anticipate this. They forgot to warn Dave not to tell Abigail about Vincent and her. He might have been the one who told this information to Abigail. Though Abigail lost her memory, Dave could tell her anything about those two.

'Sh*t! This is not good. Our plan will get ruined if Abigail will mention my relationship with Vincent… to Nathan.'

Helena was the one panicking at this moment. She didn't expect that Abigail would use the same threat she used against her a while ago.

She thought she already had an upper hand against Abigail. Who would have thought that Abigail could counter her like this?

'Damn it! I have the urge to push her from this balcony!' Helena thought to herself while trying to regain her composure.

Abigail was now the one sneering at her. She was satisfied with the way Helena became speechless. She lost her ability to argue with Abigail.

Abigail let out a sarcastic laugh and patted Helena's back. "Are you cheating on Vincent? He doesn't deserve this. He loves you so much. How can you betray him like this?" Abigail provoked her further by copying Helena's words, using them against her.
