100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Five…

~~*****~~

Nathan was furious after overhearing Abigail's conversation with Cherry. Though he didn't hear everything, the word Phantom's Assassin Guild was enough to trigger him, stirring his emotions.

Nathan was always doubtful of Abigail's identity and her intention of approaching him and Little Ethan. And he heard it from her mouth that she was a member of Phantom's Assassin Guild.

He felt betrayed once again. When he was softening towards Abigail, he found out that she had connections to Phantomflake and her guild.

Was she the mastermind for the disappearance of Phantomflake? Was she the one who leaked the information about Phantomflake and the location of the Medical Facility?

Nathan remembered that Abigail had been in the Medical Facility before. She also saw Phantomflake. Now, Abigail became his primary suspect.

How about the stabbing incident in Country F? The man who stabbed him might be Abigail's accomplice!

Nathan was so mad that he wanted to hurt Abigail at that time. But for some unknown reason, he couldn't do it. He just found himself dragging her out of that room and bringing her to his car.

Now, they were speeding off the highway with 200 mph in his speedometer. He was driving at full speed while gripping the steering wheel tightly.

She could feel a bone-chilling aura radiating off him. With just one look at him, she could tell that he was exploding with anger.

Abigail didn't know what to say. This situation was very suffocating for both of them. She regretted saying those words.

'Shit! I'm doomed! How will I explain myself to him?' Abigail was racking her brain so hard, thinking of a perfect alibi.

She wasn't afraid of the speed of the car. There was no way Nathan would intentionally crash the car. But she was more afraid of a confrontation. Her mind was blank and nothing good came into her brain.

'C'mon! Phantom… fix this mess. Talk to him.' Abigail was encouraging herself.

After a while, Nathan finally broke the silence and spoke to her. "Where is Phantomflake?! Where did you hide her?"

'Oh, Shit! Now, he is suspecting me that I was responsible for my body's disappearance!' Abigail had the urge to hit her head. This was her fault for not being cautious. She scolded herself inwardly.

"Nate… Slow down… I don't know what you are talking about…" Abigail feigned ignorance. But Nathan wouldn't buy that.

"Confess now… while I am still controlling myself from hurting you," Nathan warned her coldly. He looked so serious.

"I didn't hide her…" Abigail retorted. She was telling the truth.

Nathan punched the steering wheel, venting out his anger and frustration.

"Talk now, Abigail!" He yelled at her.

"I'm telling the truth, Nate…" Abigail said helplessly.

"Don't you ever call my name!"

They were exiting the Towerville City now. Nathan continued speeding off, choosing a path that was less traveled by people.

'We already left the city. Where is he planning to go?' Abigail was on high alert, secretly observing her surroundings. Nathan didn't have a gun right now so she heaved a sigh of relief.

'If he hid his gun… maybe he is planning to shoot me in an isolated area?' Abigail was thinking of the worst case scenario. With his violent tendency, Nathan had the capability to hurt her.

Abigail could no longer hold herself. She hit her head using her hand and said, "I'm such an idiot!"

Nathan was taken aback when he saw her hitting her own head while calling herself an idiot. If he was not mad, he might find this gesture cute and charming.

Nathan finally slowed down a little bit. Unknown to them, there was another car following them from behind. Since Abigail and Nathan were busy with their confrontation, they didn't notice that they were being tailed by a black sedan car.

After seeing that they were already in a remote area, Nathan parked the car near the old tunnel. Abigail heaved another sigh of relief when Nathan finally stopped the car.

'This is it. What is he going to do now?' Abigail watched Nathan as he alighted from the car. She was following his every movement.

Nathan moved to her side, opening the car door. "Get out," he commanded in his authoritative tone.

Abigail was at fault here so she was acting like an obedient child right now, following his every command.

Abigail stepped out of the car silently. The moment she closed the car door, Nathan shoved her body to the car, holding her shoulders as he pinned her to the side of the car.

His right hand grabbed her by the neck but his grip was not enough to strangle her. He was just holding her in place.

"Tell me where is Phantomflake! Don't make me repeat myself!" Nathan uttered, grinding his teeth. Abigail was stubborn and she refused to confess. How could he make her confess without hurting her?

"Don't test my patience, Abi… I can kill you here… without people knowing." Nathan began to threaten her with words.

Abigail kept her mouth shut, refusing to utter a word. More words often result in more mistakes.

'As long as he is not pointing a gun, I can defend myself from him,' Abigail thought to herself. Then from a distance, Abigail saw a car, just a few meters from them. She squinted her eyes at that suspicious car.

After a while, Nathan let out a humorless laughter, his eyes burning with rage. It was a bone-chilling laughter coming from the devil.

"You fooled me, Abigail Scarlett. You are indeed a great actress." Nathan mumbled with a mocking smile on his face.

The hand that was holding her neck was brought to her face, pinching her jaw as he forced her to look him in the eyes.

"You intentionally approached Ethan and me for your revenge… You are a member of the Phantom Assassin Guild. Do you think I will let you hurt my family? Abigail… this is your last chance… to save yourself."

Abigail just smiled at him and said meaningfully, "Nathan… just trust me this once."

Before Nathan could say a word, Abigail anchored her arms around Nathan's shoulder and turned around, switching their positions.

Nathan thought Abigail was going to fight with him but to his surprise, he saw a guy pointing a gun at them. Nathan's eyes widened at the realization. They were not alone in that place.

Nathan didn't hear the sound of the gunshot but he saw the man pulling the trigger twice. The guy wearing a mask and a cap was using a gun with a silencer!

"Nathan… go…" Abigail mumbled. With her remaining strength, she turned around and kicked a stone, hitting the guy's hand that was holding the gun.

At that certain moment, Nathan realized that he wasn't hurt at all. No gunshot wound! But when he looked at Abigail, her body was already falling to the ground.

Blood! He saw blood! And those blood belonged to Abigail. She had been shot. And this scene triggered bad memories in the past. Nathan stood frozen in his spot. This scene reminded him of the moment Monica was shot in front of him. But this time… it was Abigail.

The gunman was about to pick up his gun and shoot Nathan again but another car arrived.
