100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty-One…

~~*****~~

Nathan just froze in his spot with an unreadable expression. He was caught off guard by Abigail’s frankness. She said those words boldly.

His grip on her hand loosened up as if he was allowing Abigail to do what she wanted. When he finally let go of her hand, Abigail continued unbuttoning his shirt.

After a while, Nathan’s body lay exposed to her eyes and she saw his wound. It looked fine to her. No bleeding. Abigail raised her eyebrow and glanced up at him.

She had the urge to pinch his waist. What had gotten into him? He kept on lying today.

“You lied again. Hmm. What are you up to, Mr. Sparks?” Abigail mumbled, sneering at him.

But Nathan just feigned innocence. He was staring at her intently, wondering what she would do next since she already undressed him on his upper body.

Abigail’s lips tugged upward in a mischievous smile as she met his gaze. Her hand reflexively moved, touching Nathan’s stomach, specifically his abs.

“So… you just want to flex your muscles to me, Mr. Sparks?” she said teasingly, pinching one bun of his abs.

Nathan just gave her a sharp gaze because Abigail pinched him to the spot close to his wound. “Do you want me to bleed for real?” Nathan complained to her, grabbing Abigail’s hand.

“Of course not!” Abigail denied it. She snatched her hand away from Nathan’s hand. It did not take long before Abigail gently traced his stabbed wound using her fingers.

Nathan felt the goosebump because of the light touch of Abigail’s fingers. When he looked at her, Abigail’s eyes were already fixed on his wound. Her expression became serious however, he couldn’t read what was on her mind right now.

‘Many will try to kill this man. His life will always be in danger. He is my enemy… but why… why do I feel uneasy just thinking about him being targeted by assassins and by his enemies?’ She was confused about her feelings.

‘Am I afraid that I might die if he dies? What will happen if Nathan dies even before I complete my mission? I can’t die now… Black Rose is waiting for me.’ Abigail thought to herself. She found the motivation to stay alive because of Cherry, also known as Black Rose.

“What are you thinking?” Nathan asked her with intrigue.

“You,” Abigail promptly responded.

Nathan was at a loss for words once more. He couldn’t utter a word. Abigail really had a unique way of making him speechless. He just watched her in amusement.

“You should watch your back at all times… and be careful. You are not allowed to get hurt again,” she blurted out of the blue.

‘I should be the one to punish you for destroying my guild and killing my fellow assassins who were part of my only family.’ Abigail added in her thoughts, not saying it out loud.

But whenever she would think of hurting Nathan, Little Ethan’s charming face would suddenly pop up in her mind. She was sorry to the boy. She already murdered his mother. And now, she was plotting revenge against his father, Nathan.

“Why me?” Nathan’s voice snapped Abigail out of her deep thoughts.

“Huh?” Abigail looked disoriented for a moment. Nathan had to repeat his question for her to understand.

“I said why me. Why are you thinking about me?” Nathan asked, curiosity could be seen in his eyes.

Abigail smiled at him and responded, “Because it has to be you. I’m thinking about when you are going to fall for me.” She winked at him and moved closer to him. This time she pressed her both hands on Nathan’s chest.

“Your heart… is racing?” Abigail asked him in bafflement. She could now feel Nathan’s heartbeat. If she wasn’t wrong, Nathan’s heartbeat was probably faster than the normal heartbeat. What caused him to feel this way? Perhaps, her touch was also affecting him.

Abigail blinked her eyes as she moved her gaze back to Nathan’s face, assessing his expression.

“What’s wrong with your heartbeat? Did your heart get excited when I touched you?” Abigail threw him those questions shamelessly.

“Of course not. Why would I get excited? My heartbeat is normal.” Nathan denied it. Then he removed her hands from touching his chest. He felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Abigail let out a soft giggle after hearing Nathan’s remarks. She knew that he was lying.

“You lied the third time around today, Mr. Sparks!” Abigail couldn’t stop laughing. She found it very amusing. Nathan was not in his usual self today.

“I’m not lying…” he insisted as he began to button up his shirt. Just like Abigail said, he was done flexing his muscles so it was now the time to keep them and fix his clothes.

Abigail just stuck her tongue out at Nathan as she teased him with another giggle.

“Stop laughing,” Nathan simply said, hiding his embarrassment. He would never admit that he lied.

“Alright! I will stop… but let me do this.” Abigail hit Nathan’s hands as she was the one who buttoned his shirt back. She also fixed his tie on his neck.

Abigail looked like a wife tending and taking care of her husband’s office clothes. Nathan didn’t show any resistance at all. This scene was being witnessed by Chantha who was standing not far away from Nathan and Abigail.

“Oh my God! Am really seeing this? Our Supreme Leader is allowing another woman to touch his body?! He looks like he is flirting with her?” Chantha said exasperatedly. She still couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

She immediately pull out the phone inside her pocket and took pictures of Nathan and Abigail. She sent the pictures again to their group chat composed of Axel, Joker, Spider, Violet, and her.

Five seconds later, her phone vibrated as others had already seen her message and the pictures. They began typing and sending their reaction message. Only Joker was inactive in the chatbox as he was busy with his assignment.

” Group Chat Messages “

[ Axel: You have nothing to do right? You photoshopped these pictures. Did you edit it?! ]

Chantha could only roll her eyes upon reading Axel’s message. He sounded like he was picking a fight with her once more. They were cat and dog.

[ Chantha: Why don’t you come here to the mansion to see for yourself?!” ]

Chantha said it because she wanted Axel to return to Country M as soon as possible. She wanted to argue with him face to face rather than doing it online.

[ Spider: What are you doing in Supreme Leader’s mansion? Did he invite you?” ]

Other members except her twin sister, Violet, still had no idea that Nathan assigned Chantha a very special mission. And now, she had become a lady bodyguard of Abigail.

[ Violet: Supreme Leader gave my twin sister a special mission. ]

[ Axel: What kind of Special Mission? Was it… Editing pictures now to make up some stories? Hahaha. If this was not from you, I would really believe that something might be going on between our Supreme Leader and Miss Abi. ]

Axel continued to annoy and mock Chantha.

[ Chantha: I don’t care about your opinion. I didn’t ask you so shut up, Axel! ]

Chantha was still chatting with the team when she saw from a distance that Abigail tugged Nathan’s tie down so that Nathan’s face would be closer to her.

‘Damn! Are they planning to kiss each other?’ Her eyes went round as she gasped in utter disbelief. Chantha’s eyes didn’t leave the two. She continued spying on them without Nathan’s consent. She took another photo and sent it to the group.

Meanwhile, Abigail was dominating Nathan today. She was doing the seducing techniques she learned from her love guru, Aiden.

Just like what Chantha was seeing right now, Abigail’s face and Nathan’s face were now only a few inches away from each other. Abigail was pulling his necktie down so that Nathan would lean forward to her.

“Mr. Sparks, do you really wanna know what’s on my mind? Well… I’ll tell you more.” She paused for a moment, tugging his necktie further.

“I wanna… Kiss You!” Abigail declared confidently without hesitation in her eyes.

Nathan: “…”

When Nathan was put in a daze, Abigail immediately gave him a peck on his lips.

Loud Gasp!

Nathan: “0_0”

Chantha: ‘OMG! She kissed him!’

*She dropped her phone in utter shock!*

Nathan froze in his spot like a statue! He was looking at her with a dumbfounded expression. ‘What the hell? Did she just kiss me? No… that’s not a kiss.’

Well, he was disappointed since he couldn’t consider it as a proper kiss. But he was still surprised by Abigail’s advances.

On the other hand, Abigail already stood up, making a distance between them. Who knows Nathan would become violent after that stolen kiss?

Abigail didn’t mean to kiss him. She just wanted to tease him a little. But she was mesmerized by the devil’s beauty so she ended up giving him a peck on his lips. She had to admit that she missed that long passionate kiss they shared together in the hospital before.

“Mr. Sparks… Just make sure to fall for me. When that thing happens… I will kiss you every day!” Abigail was determined to accomplish her mission and now… she was making an effort and small sacrifices for her to stay alive. She had to be aggressive to win over Nathan!

When Nathan didn’t say a word, Abigail just smiled and waved at him before she fled.

“I have to go now, Nate, and see Aiden. I wonder what took him so long before he arrived.”

Nathan could only watch her retreating back, his finger tracing his lower lip.
