100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 357 Two Important People In His Life

Day Forty-Two…

~~*****~~

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Dave, he and Abigail headed home. Abigail would stay in Dave's condo unit for a week.

Dave didn't ask further questions. He just followed his instinct. Since he trusted Abigail a lot, he would try to understand her situation. Though he couldn't fathom why Abigail mentioned the fifty-eight days period, Dave decided to cooperate with her, giving her freedom to do what she wanted.

He was hoping that Abigail would stay true to her words. As long as Abigail wouldn't leave him, he was willing to do anything for her.

Dave focused on driving the car while Abigail took a nap during the entire journey. She was still feeling weak. She didn't know how long she could stay in this body.

Her soul got separated from Abigail's body for several seconds and she went back to her original body. But for some unknown reason, she has kicked out again and returned to Abigail's body.

This only meant her mission was not yet done. Nathan kept on denying his feelings for her. He didn't acknowledge it so she couldn't come back just yet.

Abigail, or rather Phantomflake, had been waiting for Bam-Bam to show up. He was the only one who could explain this strange phenomenon to her.

Unfortunately, Bam-Bam was nowhere to be found. The last time they talked, Bam-Bam mentioned that he was searching for the real Abigail's soul.

'I wonder if Bam-Bam found her soul…'

Abigail was still thinking about Bam-Bam and the real Abigail when Dave spoke up, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Abi? Are you awake?" Dave asked her.

Abigail slowly opened her eyes and responded with a simple "Hmm."

"Do you want to accompany me in meeting a friend? I am going to visit her today. You met her before. She is someone very close to you. Maybe your memory might come back once you meet people who are connected to you." Dave consulted her, glancing in her direction.

Abigail contemplated for a moment. No matter whom she met, she would never remember a thing because she was not the real Abigail. She only remembered a thing– the perpetrator pushing her off the balcony. But it happened on the first day when her soul was transferred to Abigail's body.

'That memory was still fresh in Abigail's mind… it was the last scene she saw before she lost consciousness after falling off the 13th floor. That's the only explanation I could think of as to why the memory popped up in my mind.'

Phantomflake had been in Abigail's body for forty-two days, but she didn't remember any memory of Abigail… except the scene, she fell from the 13th floor of the hotel.

But since it was Dave who asked her this, she couldn't say no. Besides, she wanted to meet people who were close to Abigail. This was the least she could do for her. She was just borrowing her body.

"Okay. Let's go and meet that friend." Abigail smiled faintly.

Dave gave her a grateful look before bobbing his head. "Her hotel is on our way. We can change our route and meet her first before going home. What do you think?"

"Sure. We can meet her now." Abigail tried to sound interested. "By the way, who is she?" Abigail was gathering information about this friend so that she would have an idea about their relationship before meeting her.

"Her name is Helena. We met her at Country R three months ago when we went on a vacation." Dave smiled broadly as he recalled the happy memories he had shared with Abigail in Country R.

On the other hand, Abigail frowned when she heard that name. What a coincidence! She also knew someone whose name was Helena and she also came from Country R.

'Hmmm. There is no way they are just one person.' Abigail shook her head, disregarding the idea.

"What is our connection with her?" Abigail asked him curiously.

"She is my friend's girlfriend." Dave promptly responded. He let out a soft chuckle when he saw Abigail's clueless expression in the rear-side mirror. He decided to elaborate on his statement further.

"I have this friend whose name is Vincent. He invited us to spend a one-month vacation in Country R where he was residing. Vincent is the person who helped me become a police officer. He is my sponsor who supported me financially with my studies."

Abigail nodded her head, just listening to Dave. Her interest was piqued at the mention of Dave's sponsor. She thought this guy was a good man. Dave was an orphan like her. And this Vincent helped him a lot.

"You were indebted to him and felt grateful," Abigail mumbled.

Dave bobbed his head in agreement. "Yes. He treated me like his younger brother. He always encouraged me to work hard and do well in my studies. Aside from providing me with my financial needs, he acted like my big brother."

Abigail could feel how much he admired Vincent. Dave was looking up to this man. She could relate to him. Just like Dave, Abigail also felt indebted to someone– Her master, Miss Frost.

"How is my relationship with Helena and Vincent?" Abigail asked him inquisitively.

"You are very close to them, especially to Helena. I even got jealous because you spent most of your time bonding with Helena, instead of me. We should be the ones having quality time together. But you always hang out with her." Dave pouted his lips as he recalled those moments. He felt like Helena stole Abigail away from him.

"The two of you got along very well as if you were sisters," Dave added, letting out a soft chuckle. He understood why Abigail easily got along with Helena. She was yearning for a sister's love, and Helena also acted like her big sister.

'Hmm. The real Abigail is so friendly and approachable.' Phantomflake thought to herself.

"What did we do in Country R? Did we finish the one-month vacation?"

Dave subconsciously blushed when he recalled the things they did in Country R. They went on several romantic dates. Those were the things they couldn't do in Country M because Abigail was a public figure… a rising actress.

Spending time with her without worrying about people recognizing Abigail was one of the reasons why Dave brought Abigail to Country R. The second reason was to introduce the woman he wanted to marry to his friend, Vincent. Abigail and Vincent were the most important people in Dave's life.

In Country R, he could hold Abigail's hand while walking on the streets and in public places. He could bring her to the restaurants without being chased by fans and paparazzi.

Vincent also reassured Dave that he got their back. No one would dare disturb them in Country R. He sent his men to secure them and protect them from any unwanted incident related to Dave's career and Abigail's career.

"Dave? Focus. Eyes on the road." Abigail tapped his shoulder. She noticed that Dave's mind was wandering off somewhere.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just remembered something." Dave smiled sheepishly, apologizing to Abigail. He even scratched his face, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Abigail just watched him in amusement. She also noticed Dave's reddened cheeks. 'Why is he blushing?'

"Abi… I won't tell you. You should remember those memories yourself. All I can say is that… you and I enjoyed every moment we spent in Country R. And I will cherish those moments… forever." Dave looked at her earnestly. There was a hint of love and longing in his eyes.

Abigail could only look away and keep silent. She couldn't meet his gaze because she was aware that his feelings were meant for the real Abigail, not her.

The two even made a vow in one of the oldest churches in Country R. They promised to love each other for eternity. Dave also swore to himself that he would bring Abigail to Country R once again and propose to her.

The most intimate moment they've done in Country R was when they made out on the beach during their night swimming. But the two knew their limitations.

They didn't go all out because Dave promised Abigail that he would just claim her after their wedding. They just kissed and touched but they never had sex yet.

Dave was still reminiscing about their past when he realized that they'd already reached the hotel. He parked the car, stepped out, and opened the car door for Abigail.

"We're here," Dave uttered, extending his right hand to Abigail.

Abigail thanked him before stepping out of the car and accepting his hand. The two entered the hotel. Dave informed Helena that he was meeting her in the lobby. She was already expecting Dave's arrival.

Helena was sitting in the lounge area when she saw Dave and Abigail entering the hotel lobby. Helena smiled slyly and stood up to welcome them.

'Ahuh! He brought her!'

Walking with confidence, Helena approached the two. When Helena met Abigail's eyes, she saw her frowning deeply.

Helena grinned widely and waved at them. "Dave! Abi! You're finally here!"

Dave waved back at her and smiled. "Helena."

Abigail's eyes widened in shock. She darted her gaze back and forth between Helena and Dave. She was tongue-tied and she didn't know how she would react in front of them.

'Holy Sh*t! Helena Carlsen is the friend Dave was referring to?!'

Abigail couldn't bring herself to smile at this woman!

'The real Abigail is friends with Helena Carlsen? No way! Why her?! '
