100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Fifteen…

'I don't know how he could survive this cruel world,' Abigail thought to herself as she glanced at Aiden, pitying him for being too honest and naive.

"Why are you saying this to me?" Abigail said in disbelief.

"Because I want you to be honest with me. And I don't want to be suspicious of you. I want to befriend you." Aiden declared, making Abigail speechless once more.

Aiden still remembered that Nathan gave him a special assignment before– to get to know more about Abigail Scarlett. But this time he wanted to befriend her for real. And he was hoping that Abigail didn't have any bad intentions towards Nathan.

"But if you are planning to hurt my best friend, I won't forgive you, Abi. Nathan… had been through a lot. I don't want him to be hurt anymore. I wish for him to be happy." Aiden shared his true feelings with Abigail. He was sincere and Abigail could only listen to him, feeling amused.

Aiden was someone who truly cared about his friends. Despite Nathan's strength and power, Aiden still wanted to protect him. He could see Nathan as vulnerable too… someone who also needed some protection.

'Aiden is a real friend,' Abigail thought to herself, smiling at him with admiration. She suddenly saw him in a different light.

"I'm not a spy," Abigail truthfully said. That was not a lie. She was an assassin, not a spy.

"I can't guarantee that I won't hurt him but… I am trying to win him over… and make him fall for me," Abigail matched Aiden's honestly. She also told him her goal of approaching Nathan.

The car suddenly stopped as Aiden accidentally stepped on the brake upon hearing Abigail's last statements. She said those words confidently.

Abigail glared at Aiden because of that sudden stop. Fortunately, she was wearing her seatbelt.

"Are you trying to kill us both?" Abigail complained, scolding Aiden.

"I'm sorry. I was shocked by your words." Aiden apologized then continued, "Are you serious about that? Of all the guys in Country M, why did you choose Nathan? You can't easily win him over!" He reacted exasperatedly.

"Because it has to be him!" Abigail stated matter-of-factly.

"Eh?!!" Aiden still couldn't understand her. "Why him? He is a very complicated guy. You can't win him over easily. He is older than you. He already had a son. And he is in love with only one woman, Ethan's mother!" Aiden seemed like he was the one being problematic about this situation.

Abigail pouted her lips. Aiden didn't have to point it out to her, reminding her how Nathan was head over heels for Monica. For some unknown reason, Abigail got annoyed just thinking about it.

'Monica is indeed Nathan's weakness, no wonder his enemy targeted the woman he loved, instead of him.' Abigail thought to herself, recalling Nathan's miserable and vulnerable state when Monica died in his arms.

"I know… I could see that. But… I will try my best. If you are asking me why I chose Nathan… I can give you several reasons…" Abigail paused for a moment.

"Tell me, tell me… I want to hear your reasons," Aiden said eagerly. He parked the car on the side of the road as he waited for Abigail's answer. This was as expected of Aiden who loved to gossip.

"First of all… he has an adorable child, Ethan. I can have an instant baby! You know I am an actress and I am still young. I can't afford to get pregnant at the peak of my career. But I love to have a baby now." Abigail said as her first reason.

Aiden raised his eyebrow. "But you know what, Abi. You will miss the process of making a baby! I assure you… it's more worth it to undergo the process of Baby-making! Make a baby of your own!" Aiden suggested with a cheeky grin, teasing her.

Abigail knew what Aiden was emphasizing. He was referring to having sex with Nathan. Damn, this playboy didn't have any reservation with his words.

When she was not able to restrain herself, she ended up hitting Aiden's forehead, flicking it using her finger. "You are a green-minded person."

"Ouch! I'm just stating the facts. You will enjoy the process more!" Aiden insisted.

Abigail could only facepalm while shaking her head helplessly. She should ignore Aiden's side comments.

"Okay… what are your other reasons?" Aiden continued pestering Abigail. They were supposed to look for Kathleen but now, they were stuck on that road. Aiden had no plan of leaving without getting answers from Abigail.

"Do you need to ask more? Isn't it obvious? Nathan is handsome, rich, powerful, and…" Abigail paused for a moment, thinking of the right term.

"And what?" Aiden asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Challenging," Abigail stated matter-of-factly.

"Huh?"

"I love to accept challenges. And just like what you said… it will be hard to win Nathan over… and he is in love with only one woman. That's the real challenge!" Abigail mumbled, trying to sound optimistic.

Aiden's eyes went round as he watched this strange lady in disbelief. Abigail had a different way of thinking.

"Sigh! Alright! Alright! I finally got it!" Aiden spoke up, eyeing Abigail helplessly.

"Do you really want to win his heart and make him fall for you?" Aiden asked her again for confirmation.

"Of course, yes! I'm so determined to do that," Abigail declared.

"Sigh!" Aiden heaved another deep sigh. "Then you need to work hard!"

"I know!" Abigail agreed.

"From now on, I will teach you! I will help you out!" Aiden suddenly blurted out, offering his help.

Abigail hastily glanced at him with a raised eyebrow. 'Is he serious?' Abigail didn't know whether to laugh or not. But Aiden looked very serious at this moment.

"Count on me… I will teach you how to woo and pursue someone. However, I don't know if my tactics will work on Nathan. But I will try my best to help you. I will be your Love coach, just promise me one thing… You will make him happy! Okay?"

Abigail: "..."
