Chapter 85: Abigail’s Office – Frustration and Uncertainty
The luxurious office was silent, the only sound being the rhythmic tapping of Abigail's perfectly manicured nails against the glass desk. The city skyline stretched outside her window, but her mind was far from admiring the view.
She was frustrated.
Not just because Samuel was out of control, but because he was acting differently.
Colder. Unpredictable. Untouchable.
This wasn't the same broken man she had left behind.
Her plan had been simple—she married him to break him, to make him suffer, to watch him drown in misery.
And for a while, it worked.
But now?
"What changed?" she whispered to herself, leaning back in her chair.
Her mind wandered back to college, to the moment she had left him.
At the time, it had felt necessary. Her family and Bardot Company were facing a financial crisis, and her marriage to Samuel was nothing more than a business move.
