Chapter 104

Abby looked at her hands that were still shaking as she stood in front of the basin in the adjoining bathroom, trying to curb the urge to wring them until her fingers broke.

She felt like she could still see the blood, Micah’s blood, on her palms, even though she had rinsed them for the hundredth time since Alyssa and Reyna ushered her into the cloak room so she could change out of the ceremonial dress which was ruined now.

She remembered vaguely hearing Micah order her personal maids to assist her, following which was a blur again, until she found herself alone in the bathroom.

‘Can I do this?‘

Abby couldn’t help but ask herself when her body wouldn’t stop shaking as Alyssa and Reyna helped her change into the spare dress Ella prepared, just in case something

went wrong.

And Abby didn’t want to get started on how horribly things had turned out until she had to redo everything in less than an hour, just to make it in time for the ceremony.

A ceremony she didn’t think she would be able to go through until the end without passing out first.

‘Breathe… I need to breathe.’

The girl had to remind herself every other minute, as her lungs refused to pull in air as if the adrenaline coursing through her veins was enough to keep her heart beating.

At least, her maids seemed to have taken pity on her as they didn’t say anything, even words.of comfort, as they ran here and there, bringing her dress from Ella’s place, then settling on the jewelry by themselves. They didn’t even disturb her out of her thoughts when they were done finalizing her look in less than forty five minutes.

And Abby couldn’t help but feel grateful for their thoughtfulness. She clearly knew that even if she forced herself to the extreme, she just wouldn’t be able to bring herself to try and make herself presentable for the occasion.

However, Abby didn’t dare to look at herself in the mirror once Alyssa and Reyna stepped back from her after leading her to the floor length mirror. She was afraid she would only see a frightened little girl, who was wrecked inside beyond imagination, even though the made up look they worked hard on would make her look otherwise.

It was a miracle her maids managed to pull off the feat of redoing everything in time, even though it would be underrated to describe it as a last minute crisis.

Abby was all set to go, save for some courage to leave this bedroom, but the King was nowhere to be found by the time she stepped back into the bedroom, and this only added to her soaring incredulity.

“The King also left to change his clothes, my lady,” one of the warriors posted outside the bedroom informed her duly when she kept looking at the door for her mate to appear with a visible distressed expression on her face.

Right, blood splattered everywhere and Micah’s robe was not an exception. Abby could only wait silently, but her mind was anything but silent with all the thoughts that had been running through it without reprieve since Neesha’s murder attempt on her.

Yes, Neesha tried to kill her and she, the very victim who escaped death by an inch, was sitting in the same spot. The irony wasn’t lost on her, but she couldn’t afford to that fact when she settled into a chair at the table behind the sofa, knowing it would only lead to a mental collapse.
