Chapter 88 - Fake Designer

Abigail pov

That was one perfect start. I went to get the order for jewels but thanks to the concubines of his highness, I got the contract for clothes too. Now all I need is two identities.

I walked out after bidding pleasantries in a happy mood when I saw Sophie standing there with a dreamy look. Since she was lost then I should just let her stay lost. With that thought I avoided her standing there and moved towards my carriage. But she stopped me.

"Abigail, i need your help" her words were not at all soft or pleading like she really was asking for help. Yet it made me curious so I nodded and encouraged her to tell me.

"His highness has invited me to the theatre. But you know that my brother would not let me go. So, I will tell everyone that I am coming to your palace. If anyone asks you, tell them that I was with you.`` I nodded my head, third. I got third aim for today, luckily two were because of William.

"Of course, you have my word for it"

"Good then tomorrow i will go to the palace taking your excuse" she finally laughed at her perfect plan and hugged me.

With that she walked in.

"Why are you helping her. I did not like her at all." said Noah, as if i liked her.

I nodded my head in satisfaction, "good, because you are going to face the burnt when her brother would know that she is not with me but in the arms of his highness.'' I replied with a serious face and his annoyed face cracked and he looked at me as if I was some villain.

"Why? I thought that you did not like her.`` I asked and he shook his head.

"Why are you having enmity with both siblings? If you do not like them, then avoid them." he advised and I smirked.

"Who said that I do not like them? They are my favorite leisure activity. Whenever i feel bored, i like to play with them.'' I walked towards the carriage and sat in it leaving the stunned behind.

It took him a minute to come in and settle himself.

The carriage started and I closed my eyes. I did not want to waste my energy in further discussions.

"So you will not give me proper replies." Despite my efforts the man did not stop asking questions.

I shook my head in response, "why, if you know too much, should not i need to kill you too." I asked nonchalantly as I closed my eyes again.

I still needed two like me and a safe place to talk too.

I thought about the other details of making multiple identities too. I almost ran out of the carriage when it finally stopped.

"Did lord Nickolas return?" I asked the knight in front of his chamber and they nodded and created space for me to go in.

He was sitting there with dark black circles below his eyes as he slowly and gracefully took sips of the bitter drink.

Hearing my footsteps, he looked above and smiled when he saw it was me.

"Oh, Abi. I heard that you have gone to a tea party.'' Then he looked at my dress and styled it here, "it is a pleasant surprise to see you directly coming here after that. Is there any urgent matter?" 

I gave him a sheepish smile and meekly nodded. His protective instincts are the only way to convince him to help me.

"Oh, is there some problem? Why are you looking so worried?" he asked as he put the cup down and gave me his whole concentration.

I nodded my head as I came and sat close to him.

"Brother, you do know how these parties are about showing off your wealth and luxury." 

He nodded his head in understanding.

"Irene was telling that her father was gifting her a store for her coming of age ceremony. And so do others. So, I also bragged that my father had already given me a tea house just because I wanted to have one. He did not need to wait for my coming of age ceremony to pamper me. They all were too jealous but then Amayra and Sharron asked me to invite them.

Tell me brother, how can I be invited to a place which did not even exist.`` I said making a puppy face, which looked like I was on the verge of crying.

"Abi, i thought that you have stopped telling lies and you did not care much about your pretentious image in past few days.'' There was some disappointment in his voice but it was just the first step.

"But brother, it is a matter of our respect. How can you just let the matter go as the higher noble, i should have a strong place in the society.'' I replied  in a coquettish voice and he finally shook his head.

"Then you want a tea house from me?" he asked, coming to the point and I nodded.

"Brother, the tea house you have received from your father. You did not even use it ever. So why not take it for a week. I promise just a week then i will return the keys to you.'' I continued to throw demands at him with a puppy face and he finally sighed.

"Sure, you can have the keys of the tea house till you want but do not try to show off further Abi, it can be very risky." he chided me lightly and i nodded, and then hugged him.

"You are the best brother in the world" I have finally found the golden secret as to why Isabella was able to get his acceptance while I only got scolded.

My brother was too soft hearted and needed a softer approach rather than being angry at him all the time.

"Alright, that is enough now go and take a rest" he said ruffling my hair and I nodded.

"You should rest too much. You are looking tired." he nodded and I walked out of his chamber. Now all I needed was a fake designer.
