100 Days to Seduce the Devil

[ Time Skipped: Three Days Later… ]

Day Eighteen…

~~*****~~

Dr. Doreen didn’t find anything significant in the result of Phantomflake’s examination. Her health condition was stable but still, they couldn’t tell the definitive time she would wake up from her coma.

With that, Nathan decided to go back home, returning Phantomflake to Country M. Veronica would continue to monitor her until she regained consciousness.

Axel and Nathan’s other subordinates stayed behind to investigate further the mysterious person who attacked Nathan.

Jun Shen was already captured by Joker and he was handed over to the Branch Headquarters of Syphiruz Mafia, headed by  Soeung Twins– Chanta and Violet. They were only waiting for Nathan to arrive before they would start interrogating Jun Shen.

Aiden and Stephen accompanied Nathan, Abigail, and Veronica in the private plane. Kathleen had to stay in Country F for her business purposes.

Unknown to them, someone from the opposing faction was following Nathan for three days now. Jack ‘the Hitman’ didn’t do something as Nathan was heavily guarded.

Because of the previous incident, Nathan’s men had become more cautious and on high alert when it came to his safety and security. He was always surrounded by bodyguards, including Abigail.

“I will give you a Lady-Bodyguard once we arrive at Country F,” Nathan opened a conversation with Abigail. The two were sitting next to each other inside the private plane.

Abigail crumpled her face. She didn’t want to have bodyguards. She felt like her every move would be under the surveillance of  Nathan.

She tried to complain, telling Nathan that she didn’t want to have a bodyguard but the devil’s decision was firm.

“I don’t have money to pay for her salary. I can’t hire her,” Abigail stubbornly said, crossing her arms over her chest.

“I can give you a fifty percent discount. You can pay me once you get your salary.” Nathan nonchalantly responded as he leaned on his seat.

Abigail turned to look at him, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could he? Couldn’t he say that it was free and he would pay on her behalf? Besides, the Lady bodyguard was his own staff. She didn’t request a bodyguard!

Abigail was jobless for now as she couldn’t return to the entertainment world yet. But if she wanted it, she could just meet her assistant and manager. She only needed a proper alibi or made up a story as an excuse for her disappearance.

Maybe Eighteen Days were enough for her to recover from a coma. They would no longer question her. Just treat it as a miracle.

‘Maybe having a bodyguard while doing my work as an actress will be helpful for me to solve Abigail’s case. I can’t hide forever.’ She thought to herself.

“Okay, fine. I will accept your proposition.” Abigail finally agreed to the set-up of having a lady bodyguard.

Nathan just nodded his head before closing his eyes. Their flight would take a few hours before reaching Country M. Nathan wanted to take a nap so Abigail just stayed silent, not disturbing him.

[ Five hours later… ]

The plane touched down on Country M International Airport. The guards made sure to clear the area before letting their boss come down.

An ambulance coming from the facility was already waiting in the airport. They would transport Phantomflake back to Syphiruz Medical facility.

“Nathan, you need to go home and rest. Little Ethan is already waiting for both of you. So let me accompany Veronica in transporting Phantomflake back to the facility,” Stephen volunteered as he talked to Nathan privately.

Nathan glanced at Abigail who was talking to Aiden. She was yawning as she was not able to sleep on the plane. She looked tired.

“Okay. Abigail and I will go home straight,” Nathan responded, thinking that Abigail was already exhausted from the trip. He wanted to accompany her as they went home.

Veronica’s face couldn’t be painted as they parted ways. Stephen was the one who joined her, escorting the ambulance that would send Phantomflake back to the facility.

Meanwhile, Nathan, Abigail, and Aiden were being escorted by the bodyguards going to the exit gate of the airport where Nathan’s chauffeur was waiting for them.

As they were walking in the arrival area, Abigail’s eyes caught a glimpse of someone suspicious. With her photographic memory, she recalled that this posture seemed familiar to her.

‘I think… I already saw this guy… in the Ramenx Crowne Hotel. What is he doing here? Is he following us all this time?’ Abigail thought to herself.

Abigail frowned, trying to remember where she last saw this guy. He was acting normal but she caught him staring at them from time to time.

Abigail was already familiar with this kind of movement. She often acted like this when she was conducting surveillance on her target.

‘This guy is professional…’ Abigail thought to herself. ‘Is he targeting Nathan as well?’

Abigail could only shake her head. Nathan’s bodyguards didn’t even notice that someone was already following them. ‘I told him. I am ten times better than his staff.’

She clicked her tongue and excused herself for a moment. She wanted to look at him closely and confirm whether he was after Nathan’s life or not.

“Where are you going?” Aiden asked her.

“I’m going to the comfort room… to pee…” Abigail said as an alibi.

Nathan just nodded his head, motioning two bodyguards to follow Abigail.

Abigail could only sigh helplessly. She felt uncomfortable being escorted by bodyguards like this.

Nathan and Aiden just stopped in the lounge area to wait for Abigail.

Abigail’s eyes were still fixed on the guy who was wearing a cap and a mask. He looked like he was playing with his phone but his attention was focused on Nathan.

A few seconds later, the man sensed that someone was walking towards him. When he shifted his gaze from the phone to his front, he saw Abigail and her two bodyguards approaching him.

‘Damn! Why do I feel like she is walking towards me? Did she find out that I’m following them?’ Jack thought to himself as he gazed at Abigail’s figure. After a while, he met her sharp gaze.

‘Fuck! I think she is coming this way… to meet me!’ Jack’s instinct told him to escape and avoid that woman as well as the two bodyguards.

When Jack sensed that Abigail was planning something, he immediately turned around to leave. His gesture made Abigail suspect him further.

‘He is avoiding me! I have to catch him. What if he was the culprit who stabbed Nathan at Royal Night Club?’ Abigail felt a sense of urgency so she started to walk faster.

When Jack began to run, Abigail also dashed in his direction. She wanted to catch him. The bodyguards were also surprised when Abigail suddenly ran.

“Hey, Nathan, Look!” Aiden who was looking at Abigail, patted Nathan’s back, pointing his finger at Abigail who was running to the other side of the airport arrival area.

Nathan’s expression turned icy when he saw what was happening. ‘Where is she going?’

“Let me chase her. Just stay here,” Aiden said before leaving Nathan behind. He didn’t want Nathan to take action as he was still recovering from his stab wound.

‘What the hell is she up to?!’ Nathan clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the area where Abigail disappeared from their sight.
