Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov contd..

"I am not that weak now, Nick, I will show you today. Only Isabella is weak now. Sigh, it looks like I have to go alone then." I said with a pout and I started to move.

"Wait, i will come with you, but just to show you that i am not weak and to see your crying face. Hmph" though she was saying so, her eyes were telling a different story.

"Alright then follow me. We will see who will cry in the end ``I replied with all seriousness and nodded my head though I was amused at how easy it was to fool her. If only she did not listen to her mother and try to live according to her age, she could have a much better life.

I paid for the cabin and we both sat down. A man came and put safety belts properly. After that the giant wheel started moving. Her eyes gleamed as she looked around when slowly we started moving up.

The wheel was big in height and soon the people started looking small from the height we were there. 

"So, how is it Bella?" Her smile was already giving the answers, yet I wanted her to realise that too.

"It's incredible. Can you see mother and brother Nickolas, they are looking too small, and those shops. They are shining like stars. And…" she was chirping happily, when she suddenly stopped and looked at me.

"Why are you doing this? What are you going to do with me this time?" her face was full of suspicions and her body turned alert.

"What do you mean?" I asked frowning, could she not see I was paying efforts to make her happy.

"You never did something without any traps. Remember when I came to the palace for the first time. You have told me that you will show me the estate and then when i was admiring lotus pond, you pushed me, and threw me in the pond.'' She accused me and I laughed awkwardly as I rubbed my sweaty hands with my dress.

"That.. that was an incident. I did it incidentally."

"Ha! And the time when you gifted me a royal blue handkerchief, telling me that you have embroidered it especially for me. When I wiped my face through it, my whole face turned blue. And I was not able to leave my room for three days." she said in a cold voice. 

I could not help but curse my past self. She was the one who had done all this, that also because she was jealous and scared to suddenly have another girl to compete with me for my father's affection.

"That was just a prank, like siblings do to each other. It was nothing serious. And how would I hurt you here? Look, I have nothing in my hands.`` I raised both my hands in the air and then shook my sleeves too to show her I had nothing, but it only raised her suspicions.

"Abigail, I am telling you. If you push me from here, I will complain to the father and then he will lock you in the room like he had warned you last time.`` She threatened me by trying to sound brave, though she was trying to make the maximum distance between us. Her face was filled with sweat and eyes were afraid to fall.

My jaw almost hit the floor, I was so unbelievably surprised. Does she seriously think I will try to kill her? To be honest, I just landed here a few days ago and since then I have been trying to improve my relationship with her.

I didn't even remember the cases she was talking about? I couldn't deny that I did some crazy stuff in the past because I felt she invaded my family and my palace., but being suspicious of something I was doing to improve our relationship was too much.

"I admit, I am guilty of some pranks in the past.." i tried to apologise but she just snorted.

"Some, you have tormented me daily." she accused again.

"nevertheless! This time that was not the case. I brought you here just for fun. You are enjoying the ride, aren't you?" I did my best to maintain an image of composure. 

"But why would you do that. You hate me from the first day., I will not fall into any of your ploys this time." she shook her head. 

"Hey, are you even listening to me, if you have played tricks on you, you have played tricks on me too. You have complained to your father like a crying baby and I have received many punishments because of it." i retorted back,  i knew that i was a villain but she was also not a saint!

"Then what else was I supposed to do? Sit silently and let you throw me out of the palace. This is my family too. But you never let me be part of it." she complained, shaking her head as if she could not believe that i was blaming her.

"Liar, in fact, you are the one who stole my father and my brother from me. Your mother never treated me as a daughter, yet Nickolas always took your side and father always punished me because  of you.`` I replied back in anger, as if the dam that was closed for immemorial time finally burst open.

"Ha! Father only has you in his eyes. Even when he punished you and locked you in the room, he stayed outside of the room all night just to make sure that you were fine. He only let you call dad, while we both call him father. ``I opened my mouth but I closed it like a fish, trying to grasp air.

"Father stayed all night at the door just to make sure that I was fine!?" i never knew that, though i was touched that he loved me so much, why was he so overprotective of me.

"Don't tell me that you didn't know that? Even maids know about it. You…" her eyes widened and so as mine as the terror filled our bodies, "ABIGAIL…"
