Chapter 4: Waiting
Abby sat on her couch, her fingers tapping rhythmically on her thigh. The phone lay on the coffee table in front of her, its screen illuminated by a soft blue glow. Every passing minute felt like an eternity as she anxiously awaited Remo’s call.
Her heart raced with a mix of anticipation and nervousness, her mind running through countless scenarios of what he might say. The room was filled with a tense energy, and she found herself unable to focus on anything else.
Time seemed to stand still as she checked her phone repeatedly, hoping to see his name appear on the screen, signaling that he was finally ready to meet her.
She had run away from home, and she knew that soon they would come for her. They hadn’t yet because her father was alive and couldn’t risk anything.
She sighed, conflicted about involving Remo in this dangerous situation, but he was her only hope now.
There was no way she would let these people take everything away from her. Her father had worked day and night for his achievements, and she wasn’t going to let these ungrateful people ruin it all.
Weak and lacking real power, she needed a man like Remo Quinn – heartless, cruel, and ruthless. He was her best shot at facing these shameless adversaries and securing their downfall once and for all.
She hoped he would accept her risky proposition, no matter how crazy it might sound. The stakes were high, but Abby was determined to fight for her family’s legacy and protection.
Years had passed, and the bond between her and Bella had remained unbreakable, even though they were living miles apart. They shared their triumphs, heartaches, and the ordinary moments that kept their friendship alive.
