Granting One Last Wish novel Chapter 9

SEB

I slump my ass down the chair after receiving a call from the owner of the industrial lot. It caught my interest for a while now, and he looks like he needs money. He has a few possible buyers, but I knew he is just waiting for a price rise, and I can be persuasive when something has caught my eye.

I'm still constantly thinking about the green-eyed Abby. I should completely erase her from my thought, but the question is, how?

They said a problem is only a problem if you refuse to look for a solution. If you don't take action to fix it, then it will remain a problem. I massage my temples because it's frustrating, and the fact that she's off-limits, it's already complicated.

"Someone is in the reception insisting on talking to you in person. She said you know her, and it's urgent. You know the drill, Seb. She can't come unless she has an appointment." Maybe another stalker or some crazy bitch.

"Not interested. I have some important to do that makes me richer so that I can help the world to be a better place. Send her away."

After a few minutes, Elle calls again.

"Seb, she said she's Abbygail King. She'd shown identification." That name alone makes me freeze, and my stupid heart starts to flutter in anticipation.

Wait. What is she doing in my building? Interesting, but she's the last person I want to see right now. I'm trying to stay away from her. She's been intoxicating my entire brain. I want her gone because the more I see her, the more I think of her, and I don't need any distractions.

I just need to let someone scratch this itch, and she will be gone in my head sooner. It has to be. I had been jerking off these few nights, and her beautiful eyes and those lips are still in my head. Shit! I need to do something.

I sigh and squeeze my eyes shut. "Yeah. I knew her. Let her come in. Thanks, Elle."

"Are you sure? I can ask the security to handle her."

Shit! No. I won't even let them look at her. Jesus, what's wrong with me? "Don't. Send her, please?"

"Okay. Just press the button if ever, okay?"

I groan. I know she cares for me like her son, but I can handle myself in front of Abby. The only thing I'm losing control of is my lust over her. "I'll be fine. She's a King."

"Okay."

I'm screwing this up because I'm actually excited to see her. The second my door open, she enters my office with all her glory. Wow! Just wow! She knows how to make an entrance, and she just blows me away. How can anyone be sexy and hot as she is right now? She should be locked up in a dungeon. She's a threat to man population. She's a pure man's sin.

I rise from my seat and walk towards her. I motion her to sit, but she pushes me on my chest, and that catches me off guard. What the fuck? I'm beyond dumbfounded.

She just pushes me on my fucking office! Nobody pushes me. Yeah, and I see red. I can't fucking believe it. She might be beautiful, but no one pushes me and disrespects me in my own goddamn office and my goddamn building.

I can see her fury flaming through her eyes--Abby is furious. What's going on? And it doesn't end there. If her eyes can shoot me, I might be dead right now.

"How could you? How could you do this to me? What are your plans with Mom for me, huh?"

I narrow my eyes to her. Aside from my anger boiling in my blood, I am also turned on because she's fucking hot when she's mad. But I don't have any idea what she's talking about.

"You just pushed me, Abbygail in my fucking office. Now you're actually asking me something I don't have any idea about?" I clench my jaw. I'm mad at this woman in front of me.

If she's not Abby I already grab her, throw her outside, and call the security, but fuck me, it's her. I've taken a shine on this woman, and this is pure sanity.

I just hope my cousin won't find out because I don't want to know how he will react. I have a reputation to uphold. Instead, I remain calm.

"Don't play dumb with me. I know you knew about the will. You and my mother had planned all these entire things to control me. Did you sleep with my mother too? Did she seduce you to agree into this? Or did you seduce her instead or drug her? Did you blackmail her? She must be confused or forced because it wasn't like my mother's doing. Answer me, Sebastian!" She wants to cry but she's trying to hold it.

Did she just order me? This woman is un-fucking-believable.

I blink when she mentions about a will. "Hold on a minute. What will?" Now I'm totally lost. Wait. The will?

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

This isn't good. Abby rolls her eyes, but she badly wants to cry. She looks up and blinks back her tears. "Oh, come on, Sebastian. Stop the fuck playing dumb with me." She shoves a folded piece of paper to my chest.

"Watch your language, woman. You're in my office, and I don't tolerate that kind of behavior at my premises. You already disrespected me. You're wrongfully accusing me of blackmailing your mom, and you mistreated me. I can sue you with harassment. If you're not Mike's daughter, I already dragged you out and called security. You'd be sleeping in the filthy cell tonight." I pause while squinting my eyes. "How dare you think so little of your late mom? You should be ashamed, Abby. She was a very fine and respected woman. People honored her for a reason. You didn't deserve to be her daughter if your mind is so fucking full of shit!"

I unfold the paper and start reading, and my world just turns upside down. No wonder this woman is in wrath because this isn't happening. Her mother's words suddenly jar my thoughts.

I was not wrong, after all. Abby may be a sight to behold, but she has an attitude problem and has a filthy mouth. She's impulsive, and she's not the woman I imagine is raised by her parents.

I'm not ready for this shit. I love my life. I love being single, and the last thing I want in my life is a woman to deal with tantrums for three fucking awful years.

Shit. I just promised Catie before she died. I have no way to escape from these. Three awful shit years of my fucking life. I massage my temples and squeeze my eyes shut. I don't realize I'm clenching my teeth too long and my jaw almost cracked.

"See? You don't even look surprised. I know you knew about the will, but you didn't even mention it to me. We'd encountered more than once, but you keep this to yourself. You didn't tell me!" She's beyond pissed like starting to grow horns.
