100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-One...

~~*****~~

[ At Ethan's School... ]

For the first time, Ethan was very excited to go to school because he was with Nathan and Abigail. He was holding both their hands as they entered the gate. Abigail was on his right while Nathan was on his left.

He was looking forward to showing off Abigail and his father in front of the whole class. He felt like he had a complete family today. So this was a very important occasion for Ethan. When the three of them passed through the gate, they instantly caught the attention of the people nearby.

Abigail gazed down to observe Ethan. She couldn't help but smile after seeing Ethan's broad smile. He was smiling from ear to ear. His hands were holding them tightly.

'I didn't regret coming here. Ethan looks so happy.' Abigail thought to herself. She was supposed to avoid Nathan but she came today for Ethan's sake. She promised him that she would attend this Family Day Event.

Nathan just remained stoic even though he could see that several pairs of eyes were feasting on them. He didn't mind them at all.

The people started murmuring about them, especially those who were intrigued by Abigail's presence. The father and son duo were famous in that Academy. So many socialites and prominent people were present since young masters of wealthy families were studying in this school. The only person they didn't recognize was Abigail.

Some of them were not updated in the entertainment industry so they failed to recognize her. While others only thought that her face was similar to a certain actress they knew. However, they didn't think that she was Abigail Scarlett.

Woman 1: "Is she the woman in the news article? The one who is engaged to Nathan Sparks?"

Woman 2: "I don't think so. The woman in the news article looks different from her."

Man 1: "Who knows? She changed her hairstyle. Too bad the news article was taken down immediately. I didn't see the woman's face clearly."

Man 2: "Wait. I remember. The woman in the news article is Helena Carlsen. Here. I searched for her online."

Man 1: "Huh? What is the meaning of this? Why did he bring a different woman?"

Man 2:"Ahem. We don't know who is telling the truth. Aren't you curious why the articles were taken down immediately? Nathan threatened those people who posted it on the internet!"

Woman 1: "Is he two-timing?"

Man 2: "But one thing is for sure. It looks like Nathan Sparks finally has a woman. He has moved on."

Woman 2: "Damn! She hit a jackpot! Many women wish to catch Nathan Sparks' affection. Among them, she is the one who succeeded."

Woman 1: "Gosh. I hate to admit it but the three of them perfectly fit each other...as a happy family of three!"

Woman 2: "Let's find out what kind of woman she is."

As the three of them became the talk of the town in that school, Abigail felt annoyed. Several pairs of eyes were watching her as if she was a wonderful specimen. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

She didn't wear any disguise today. What if they would recognize her as the actress who committed suicide a few weeks ago?

'I will just pretend as if I'm Helena Carlsen when someone will ask for my name.' Abigail made a mental note.

The parents and their children were asked to gather in the school auditorium. The opening program of today's event would be held there. Nathan and Abigail sat in the VIP seats, reserved for Ethan's parents. They were near the stage.

Among the attendees, these three got the spotlight. The teachers and other school faculties were also surprised that Nathan brought a woman. They presumed that the two were already a couple.

Ethan also supported their assumptions seemed he looked so happy and comfortable in Abigail's presence. Ethan and his classmates would perform today. It was a dance performance. Ethan went to the changing room to wear his costume. This would be a performance dedicated to his dad and Abigail.

In the changing room...

Ethan's classmates, who often bullied him, approached him.

"Who is the woman you brought with you? She is your nanny, right? I remember her bringing you a lunchbox before." the boy whom Ethan punched before asked him.

"No! She is not my nanny. She is going to be my Mom!" Ethan declared to them confidently. He crossed his arms over his chest and lifted his chin. He wouldn't back down. He would beat anyone who would try to mock or disrespect Abigail.

The three little boys laughed, not believing Ethan. "Ahuh! So your Dad is going to have two wives? Hahaha! What a playboy!"

Little Ethan crumpled his face, his lips forming a thin line. He brought his hands sideward, clenching his small fists. "What are you talking about? Stop spreading false rumors. I will sue you!"

"I heard my mom and dad talking a while ago. They said your Dad was already engaged to someone named Helena. But he brought someone else. Your dad is two-timing!" the fat kid started mocking and insulting Ethan's father.

"That's not true! My Dad is not two-timing! He only likes Miss Abi, not that Helena!" Ethan retorted.

"Haha. You are just saying that to save your father's reputation. We will not believe you. You should be ashamed of him. Haha. Like father, like son. No wonder so many girls linger around you. You are trying to win them all at the same time."

The three boys were just jealous of Ethan since their crushes had a crush on Ethan, not them. They were being ignored by those little girls. But when it came to Little Ethan, they always wanted to play with him, trying to catch Ethan's attention. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Ethan was about to raise his fist and punch those kids but someone intervened. A small hand grabbed his.

"Are you bullying Ethan again?!" A little girl butted in. It was one of their classmates. "I will tell his Dad that you are bullying him! His Dad is a powerful man. He will punish you!" The little girl threatened those bullies.

The three bullies just glared at her and stuck their tongues out before turning around to leave Ethan and her.

Ethan turned to her with a deep crease on his forehead. "You shouldn't have done that, Mia. I can deal with them myself. I don't need your help. I'm a man."

"Are you not worried that they will start bullying you? You are just a transfer here. You should make friends, not enemies." Ethan added, giving her a little bit of advice.

Mia just let out a soft giggle, covering her mouth. She could see that Ethan was displeased because of her interference. "I'm sorry. I am just nervous about today's performance so I decided to pick a fight with them. But thank you for your concern for me. If ever they try to bully me, then repay me by defending me from them."

Mia smiled at him charmingly before she said goodbye to him. It was now her turn to perform. Ethan could only shake his head while watching Mia's back.
