100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-One…

~~*****~~

"Nate…" Abigail mumbled as she tried to struggle against Dave's tight embrace. Dave was drunk at this moment.

Abigail felt like she was caught cheating by her boyfriend. She was looking at Nathan guiltily.

She thought Nathan would turn around and leave. But to her surprise, Nathan approached them with large strides. In no time, he reached their spots. He immediately dragged Dave away, separating him from Abigail.

Nathan grabbed Dave's shoulders, turning him around. Then he pushed him inside the house. Dave staggered because of Nathan's force. Abigail could only sigh helplessly while watching the two men.

When they entered the house, Abigail and Nathan saw several empty bottles of beer. It looked like Dave drowned himself in beer tonight and got drunk. Dave was consumed by his guilt. After investigating what happened to Abigail, Dave blamed himself over and over again.

He just ended up drinking a lot until he got drunk. He missed Abigail so much. He disappeared for more than a month without communicating with her. Then one day… he returned but Abigail could no longer remember him.

Dave was afraid that Abigail would never remember him. What if she would love someone else? He was threatened by the fact Abigail had been living with Nathan for the past month. After backtracking Abigail's movement for the past few weeks, Dave discovered that she had been staying in Sparks Mansion.

He was afraid to confront her about her relationship with Nathan Sparks. Unlike him, Nathan was rich and powerful. He didn't want to admit but Nathan was a dream guy for every woman. He has good looks and great background. Dave felt insecure just thinking about Nathan's good qualities.

"Nate, I will take care of Dave. He is just drunk. You can go home now," Abigail said. She was about to assist Dave to sit down but Nathan pulled him away, making him sit far away from Abigail.

"Let me do it. Just clean that mess." Nathan pointed his finger at the table. A dozen empty bottles were scattered on the floor and on the table.

Abigail's eyes followed the direction where his finger was pointing at. Dave indeed made a great mess in the living room.

"Okay. I'll clean the living room. But… can you help Dave change his clothes? Wipe him with cold water to sober up," Abigail requested Nathan.

Nathan nodded. He didn't argue or object to Abigail's request. He preferred to do it than let Abigail take care of Dave by herself.

Without further ado, Nathan dragged Dave forcefully, bringing him to his room. He had been trying to conceal his rage. He didn't expect to witness Dave professing his love to Abigail. His anger and jealousy surged up whenever he would remember that scene.

"Nate, don't beat him. Behave!" Abigail warned and reminded him. Abigail sensed the chilly aura surrounding Nathan when he dragged Dave away. It brought a smile to her lips. 'The devil is jealous… he is definitely jealous.'

In the room, Nathan made Dave sit on the edge of his bed. He walked to his cabinet to get some clothes. He also picked a clean towel. Following Abigail's instructions, Nathan removed Dave's shirt and began wiping his face as if he was taking care of a child.

Dave gazed at Nathan, assessing his face. It did not take long before he recognized the person in front of him.

"N-Nathan Ssssparks… the wealthy and gorgeous, Nathan Sparks." Dave chuckled and grabbed Nathan's face.

Nathan was caught off guard by his action. He was trying to control himself not to punch Dave. How dare he touch his face? Nathan hit his hands, removing them from touching his face.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Mighty Nathan Sparks? Are you going to steal my girlfriend?" Dave pouted his lips and glared at Nathan.

Nathan arched his eyebrow and stopped what he was doing when he heard Dave's last remarks. 'Girlfriend?'

"Abigail is your girlfriend?" Nathan asked him coldly, balling his fingers into fists.

Meanwhile, Dave bobbed his head frantically. "Yes! She is my girlfriend… So stay away from her. You can have many girls as you want! Just don't take Abigail away from me!"

Nathan pursed his lips. He was on the verge of losing his temper. "Girlfriend? Stay away from your girlfriend…" he murmured, clenching his jaw.

"Your. Girlfriend… is the one… Chasing after me. You should talk to her. Not me!" Nathan threw the towel on the floor and turned around to walk out.

But Dave grabbed his elbow, not allowing him to leave. "She can't remember me… Though she can't remember me, she is still my girlfriend. I will make her remember… our Love."

Nathan narrowed his eyes at Dave. "You can't force her. If she doesn't want you then just let her go. Anyway. This is not my problem. Release my hand while I'm still being kind."

But Dave stubbornly shook his head. "No. I can't do that. She is my life. Promise me one thing. You will not steal her away from me. Say it, Mr. Sparks!"

Nathan looked at him sharply. He thought it would be easy to say those words. He thought he didn't care. But now, he felt the lump in his throat.

"I am not obliged to make a promise to you," Nathan stated coldly. He yanked his arm away from Dave and marched out of the room. He was pissed off and he didn't know why.

Abigail was still throwing the empty bottles into the trash can when suddenly she felt a strong arm grabbing her waist. Before she knew it, she found herself being shoved to the wall by Nathan. She looked at him only to meet his scorching eyes. He was fuming with rage.

"Nate, what's wrong?" Abigail asked him in puzzlement.

Nathan was quiet for several seconds. He was just staring at her intently.

"Nate?" 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

"What is Dave to you? Do you love him?" Nathan questioned her with a serious look on his face.

Abigail was at a loss for words. She didn't expect that Nathan would suddenly confront her.

"Don't lie to me, Abigail!" Nathan shook her shoulders.

"I love…" Abigail hadn't finished her words yet but Nathan already assumed that she was referring to Dave.

With a heavy heart, Nathan let go of Abigail and stepped back, maintaining a distance from her. Just when he was about to leave, Abigail spoke again, making Nathan halt on his step.

"I love you, Nate…"
