Abigail POV
I watched as Carter rushed out of the front door, he said something about his shipments in trouble which was the reason why he was rushing out like that.
Since last night, I can’t help but feel a sense of dread.
I thought that I had the upper hand that I would definitely survive this mess.
But last night proved to me that Carter was right, he has always been right since but I choose to ignore him.
I am his property and for me to survive in this mess I had to listen to him and do everything he said.
“Abigail !” The kingpin called to bring me back from my thoughts.
“Yes father” I replied.
“Stop thinking, let’s go” he said and led me out of the house.
There was a car parked already outside so we got into it and it drove off.
“Do you know where we are going?” He began.
“No sir,” I replied.
“Where we are going is somewhere you will love,” he said.
“Okay Sir, thank you”
There was the last conversation we had because he got a call and became very busy also typing on his laptop which he took out from a bag in the car.
I opened my window and stared out, it was a bit sunny today.
The trees at the roadside were swinging around by the wind as we sped past them.
“Kill him if he doesn’t cooperate”
My head turned sharply in the Kingpin’s direction, “did he just casually order someone’s death as if he was ordering a room in a hotel?” I wondered in my thoughts.
Carter’s father was on a call and he was also typing on his laptop.
The Kingpin was someone that was known and feared all over the country, he was heartless and dangerous.
But here I am being the daughter-in-law of a man like that and also riding in the same car with him.
And now he just ordered that somebody should be killed if he did not cooperate, I wonder what he would do if he found out about our marriage contract.
I am sure he won’t even hesitate to put a bullet through my skull.
Carter’s father’ seat door was opened by the driver who immediately went down on his knees.
“I am sorry Sir, please kill me !” The driver said, his eyes on the floor.
He was trembling and sweating seriously which made me puzzled.
“Did he do something before we started the journey on what?” I thought.
The Kingpin was still typing on the call, finally he brought his phone down and closed the laptop.
“Get up,” he said to the driver.
“The driver hesitated but he eventually got up and shifted away.
“Dear we have arrived, you can come down now” he told me.
“Okay Sir” I opened my own door and got out, going to his own side.
There was a huge gate opposite us which I think is where we are going.
“Go and get the stuff immediately,” the Kingpin told the driver.
“Okay Boss” he bowed and entered back into the car.
“Abigail !”
“Sir,” I went closer to where he was standing.
“This is where we are going,” he said.
“Let’s go”
I walked with him to the gate where he knocked, it was immediately opened for him and he got in.
“Good morning Boss” a middle-age man greeted and bowed to the Kingpin when we entered the gate.
“Good morning, Nate, the break is really looking good on you,” Carter’ father chuckled.
“Yeah” the man Nate chuckled too but it was restrained and careful.
His gaze went to me and he looked back at the Kingpin with questions in his eyes.
“Oh, this my daughter-in-law, Carter has decided to grant my wish” he replied.
“Wonderful, welcome Miss..?”
“Abigail” I offered.
“Welcome, Miss Abigail and congratulations, I hope you also grant Our Boss another wish,” he said, smiling.
“Oh she just came here, let’s give her a break. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Children will come soon” the Kingpin said.
I almost coughed out loud when I understood what they were saying.
“Let’s get to business Nate,” Carter’s father said.
“Yes Boss, follow me” Nate said and began leading us through a path.
“Our cars are being serviced at the moment so we have to trek” Nate began.
“It is fine, I will have a chance to look around the property” The kingpin replied.
The place was very big with trees and flowers, as we walked along the path.
I looked up and saw the house, it was an immaculate house painted blue nestled amidst lush greenery that includes an array of trees and vibrant flowers just like the ones we saw when walking the path.
“You repainted the house?” I heard the Kingpin ask.
“Yes, Boss I did it last week” Nate replied.
“Nice, you do know how to take care of a property, Nate.
Keel it up”
“Thank you Sir, thank you so much” Nate thanked looking like a kid that was given its favourite ice cream that he had been craving for ages.
Seems that the Kingpin does give praises that much.
We finally arrived at the house and were ushered in by the butler.
The living room was well furnished and cozy and there were pictures of Nate in a lawyer outfit on the walls.
“Abigail, make yourself at home here, let me talk with Nate,” Carter’s father said.
“Okay Sir”
“The maids will attend to you and tell them anything that you want,” Nate added.
I nodded and they both began climbing up the stairs, I went to one of the couches and sat down.
A maid came into the living room and approached me, “what should I get for you Madam?”
“Water is good,” I replied.
“Hot or cold?”
“Room temperature”
“Okay, Madam, let me bring it for you” she acknowledged and left.
She came back five minutes later with a glass of water, “thanks,” I took the glass from her.
