What are their Purpose?

I laughed when he cursed. It doesn't really continue, maybe it can't really be repeated.

He picked up his cellphone and answered it immediately.

He doesn't care if I hear them when he talks to someone else, he's open to me and doesn't hide anything.

"What? How?! I hope you said I don't want to!" He said angrily to the person he was talking to on the other line.

"It's not really good that he invested in us. How come he thought of investing in my business all of a sudden and I know that the meeting he's asking for isn't really for me. Okay, fine. If that is what he really wants. Thank you for letting me know."

After he said that, he dropped the call.

"What's that, hon?"

"It's about Jacob; perhaps he wants something else to talk about and I know exactly what is it; he wants us to meet about personal matters," he said, frowning.

"If you don't want to, that's probably okay."

"I know you're really the reason for that, but it's okay if this game is what he wants to play. I'll give it to him.”

I pulled him slightly to get closer to me, "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize, if I can just ask him about your marriage here, I'll agree to have a meeting with him, even if it’s every day."

He hugged me tightly.

**David's POV**

It's Wednesday and I'm now preparing for our meeting later with Jacob.

I was adjusting the collar of my long sleeve when Abigail came into our room.

"You're so handsome! Whose fiance are you ?!" She asked me softly.

"Fiance? Maybe whose husband am I?"

I saw her blush so I pinched her two cheeks.

"You're cute, will you just wait for me when I get home, or do you want to leave go somewhere else? Or do you want to come with me?" I asked her.

She approached me and pulled me slightly closer to her and she adjusted my necktie.

"Can you just come along? Then after the meeting, we leave, do you want to go to different churches?"

I saw her eyes twinkle at what I said.

"Really?! Will you take me to different churches here in Cebu?!"

I nodded in agreement.

She was so excited that she immediately looked for something to wear. I went out so that she would not stay longer.

Maybe later I won't be able to control myself again.

I laughed to myself when I thought of that thing.

My cellphone rang, my secretary was texting.

"Sir Fuentabuella, Sir Fuentes is already here waiting for you."

I haven't replied yet, I'll let him wait for me, he wants this thing. So he just has to wait!

I was about to turn on the television so I could watch first while waiting for Abigail when she came down the long stairs of our mansion.

I was literally amazed at how beautiful she was. The simple way she was wearing but this woman was so amazing she was so beautiful!

She just wore a Floral-print maxi dress and put a make-up that is very light and matched her Bella Two-piece block heel sandals.

She was still smiling as she went down the stairs.

When she can finally get close to me.

I immediately stood up and greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.

"You are so beautiful, whose wife are you?!" I returned the question she asked me earlier.

She blushed.

"You, of course, you're handsome. I can't be ugly." She told me with a laugh.

"You're never ugly, inside and out you're beautiful," I said and then I gave her a kiss on her forehead.

~

When we got to my office building.

All my employees stood up as Abigail and I walked inside my office. They greeted us and Abigail enthusiastically greeted back to them all.

She's really adorable. This is the reason why I really love her! I really love everything about her!

My secretary greeted us, "Good morning Sir and Madame."

"Good morning." Abigail smiled.

"I'll just take Abigail to my office and then I'll go straight to the meeting room," I said and held Abigail's hand into my office room.

"Hon, I'm okay here. Don’t worry about me, go to your meeting, I'll just wait here." She squeezed my hand.

"Are you sure you're really okay here alone?"

I'm not sure how long our meeting will last, but I don't want to keep her waiting too long, so I'll try to rush through whatever Jacob and I have to discuss.

"Don't worry about that, go ahead."

I just gave her a kiss on the forehead and then I left and went straight to the meeting room.

When I entered, Jacob no longer treated me with respect.

I almost angrily dropped my laptop on the table.

I heard him laugh.

"What's this? First, you invested in my company all of a sudden and you just made a trip. Now you're going to have a meeting without even talking about my business! You're just wasting my time that Abigail and I should be just cuddling in bed." I told him, I really meant to tell him about it so he could really feel like he was interfering with Abigail and my plans.

"Actually, what I really want to say is also about Abigail." He said and he straightened up as he sat down.

He looked at me seriously and even put his hands on his chin while looking at me.

"There's a death threat in her life, and I know Abigail knows that someone is texting her random numbers. It's all according to my private investigators."

I wouldn't be surprised if he also knew us and what we had been living and completely in Italy. Because of how he tells me this now, it seems like he knows everything about Abigail.

But I won’t go beyond that first, I became interested in what I found out now.

"Who was going to do Abigail then?" I asked him.

"Maybe there's a lot of jealousy in her. So I hope you keep a close eye on her, I can't do anything to her now. I hope you don't leave her." He said and he averted when he looked at me.

"Even if you don't say so, I really won't make her leave. I'll just remind you, I'm not like you. And my name is not Jacob Fuentes."

He laughed at what I said.

He smirked, "I won't take my wife from you right away. We'll get there too. All I want now is for you to take care of her. And I hope until now you still have respect for her. You know what I mean by that, she's my wife, she's married."

I smirked too, "before you tell me that. Something has happened to us and if I were you I wouldn't be so hard on myself. I'll sign the divorce paper right away. When you receive it."

His face could no longer be painted.

He stood up and was about to approach me when he stopped suddenly and just punched the table.

"Are you taking advantage of her!?"

"No, I can't do that to her. We just love each other!"

"Impossible!"

"Thank you for caring about my fiancée," I said and I was about to leave when he suddenly spoke.

"Catherine ..."

"What about Catherine?!"

Is she the one trying to hurt Abigail?!

"Catherine and A--"

He couldn't finish what he was saying because his cell phone suddenly rang.

He isn't important enough for me to wait for, so I went out to see Abi.

When I entered my office, I found Abi staring at her cell phone. Unbeknownst her to know I had already entered the office.

When I approached her to kiss her on the head, she turned away in surprise.

I approached her and looked at her in astonishment. “Hon?” I took both of her arms.

"I-I'm sorry, hon. I'm surprised; I-I didn't realize your meeting was over; why the r-rush? I thought you'd be that l- long," she stuttered as she told me.

"Is there a problem?" She was restless, she didn't know where to look. So bend down slightly to catch her eyes.

"Hon, relax, what's going on? Tell me the truth. Why are you acting like that?" I asked her while still bent over and I looked into her eyes straight.

"Hon, someone texted me. Actually, on the first day I visited my office, I saw a car not far from the shop. After that, I received a text from an unknown number." She looked into my eyes as if terrified.

I touched her cheek, "no one can come near you, I'm here. What did he tell you? Don't be afraid, I’m here." I caressed her cheek.

Instead of answering my question, she handed me her cell phone.

She showed me the message when the person texted her.

*"How does it feel when two men are fighting because of you? Don't you still see your parents? Aren't you surprised that since you came home from the Philippines you haven't heard from them? But, surprisingly, you don't remember them either. I expected them to be the first ones you'd remember when you return here, but you're still the same as before, which isn't surprising given that you disobeyed them and had a relationship with the Fuentes family. Do not worry. Your parents are good, they serve my family well."*

I frowned at what I read.

What man, other than Jacob, could make it more powerful?

Abi was sitting on the sofa in my office, and I was about to approach her when Jacob walked in.

"Don't you have any respect left? Even if you respect me in my own office?" He didn't respect me earlier, and even though he didn't greet me or anything when I came in, I just can't accept that he can be like that because he is the most respected business tycoon.

He did not answer me but he approached me with a confused face.

He turned to Abigail, “Abi?” he called her. But she did not turn to him.

I'm confused by the two of them.

What is going on!

"Wait, what's going on?! Maybe someone can tell me what's going on and why you're both like that?!" I said with my confused voice.

Abigail stood up and angrily faced Jacob. "When I find out you have something to do with all this, I will never forgive you again!"

He walked right past Jacob.

"Hon, how come I didn't remember them? How come we went home to the Philippines and I didn't think to visit them?" Abigail sobbed.

"I know it's difficult to believe, but I really have nothing to do with what's going on, and there are still things I don't know about what happened in my past," Jacob said, turning to face us.

He looked at Abigail who was hugging me. "Hon, don't worry. If you want us to go to your house today so we can make sure they're okay. I can drive."

Abigail was just crying, I don't know how to calm her down especially if it's all because family is the reason for her to cry.

"According to the person who texted me, they didn't have Dad there."

"Who texted you?!" Jacob groaned.

"Shouldn't you know this? Because you're the richest of all?!" I said angrily to him.

Abigail yanked her arms away from me.

"We need to plan carefully because it doesn't appear that there's just one person behind what's going on here," he said as he sat down on the sofa Abigail had been sitting on earlier.

"This is the real meeting."

Did I mention the three of us are just awkward because I will marry his wife?

Abigail looked at me with astonishment on her face.

I don’t even know what Jacob is saying about what we need to plan.

However, I took Abigail's hand and pulled her to Jacob's seat and we sat there in front of him.

"What meeting?" Abigail asked.

"Could you please not be sweet in front of me? Please give me justice. She’s still my wife for godsake! Mr. Fuentabuella."

But I didn't care what he said I tightened my grip on Abigail's hand even more.

"Don't mess with us, what should we talk about? And what should you have said earlier?" I looked straight at him.

He turned to Abigail and tried to hold Abigail's hand.

"Oh, you seem to be crossing the line I gave you." I pulled Abi away instead of just tightening her hand I just hugged her.

Abigail laughed a little at what I did.

"Abigail, there's something you need to know about Catherine."

"What about her?"

I guess I already know about it.

Catherine may have done all this.

"Catherine is your half-sister."

After Jacob said that Abigail clung so tightly to my arm.

I adjusted my seat. "What? Don't make up a story! Don't even round our brains! Maybe you're just covering up Catherine for her sins!" I shouted angrily at him.

"Do you think I will say the thing that will hurt MY WIFE?!" he replied to me, he really insulting me!

I was about to speak when Abigail suddenly stopped me, "how? How did you find out about this thing?"

"My two investigators found out, the truth is that she’s meeting your parents. But now I have no news."

"Couldn't she be the one behind all this? Because according to the person who texted me, they had Dad." Abi says she can no longer catch her breath properly.

"Impossible because she's just always at home with our daughter." Jacob's voice had almost faded when he said that.

**Abigail's POV**

I don't know what else I should feel.

My body is so numb to what I know and hear.

It gives me a big question mark of who is behind all of this.

What are their purpose and intent?

"Hon, I know you're not okay. But do you still want us to continue our trip but from what I see, maybe we'd better rest first, or do you want to leave?"

"Hon, take me to our house," Yes, I want to go to our house; perhaps I'll discover some of the things I'm looking for.

"Can I come with you?" Said Jacob.

One more thing, doesn’t he know how awkward we are right now?

"Don't you feel anything?" I'm mad at him.

"Bro, doesn't that really seem over the line?!" David stood up and he held his hand for me.

"But you still have a lot to learn." He said.

"Give Abigail space if I'm with you, I'll focus on my daughter first," David told him and we had left the office.

I don’t know how I would be without David by my side.

I don’t know what would happen to me in case David wasn’t around me.

I just proved that my fear of Jacob still hadn’t gone away.

~

When David and I got to our house.

I immediately grabbed David's arm.

I'm nervous, I don't know why I'm nervous.

When I saw the parking area inside our house, I noticed that there were a few vehicles that I did not know because I had been lost here in the Philippines for several years.

"Whose cars are they?" Said, David.

"I don't know either, Hon. I don't remember such a cars before." Yes, I don't remember anyone owning such a car.

When we got inside the house the people almost stopped rejoicing.

I saw Daddy and Mommy still staring at my presence.

"Abigail?!" Shocked Dad said.

"What's going on here?!"
