100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Three...

~~*****~~

Axel was still in a trance when his phone rang. The ringing sound of his phone snapped him out of his deep stupor. After seeing that Nathan was the one calling him, Axel immediately answered the call.

Nathan had no idea that Axel was just nearby, watching them.

"B-Boss? Cough!" Axel cleared his throat.

"I want you to deal with something. I am currently in the Haunted House. Kindly prepare some cash to compensate several people." Nathan instructed Axel.

Axel didn't have to ask since he already knew what was happening and why he needed to prepare compensation. Nathan wanted to prevent these staff members from suing Abigail for assaulting them.

"Okay, Boss! I got it. I know what to do..." Axel responded. He smiled awkwardly while scratching the back of his head.

"If needed... Call an ambulance too. Take care of their hospital bill," Nathan added, rubbing the space in between his brow. Little Ethan was now standing next to him. He was watching Abigail in amusement.

After a while, Ethan approached Abigail, tugging the hem of her shirt. "Miss Abi... that's enough." Ethan's voice helped Abigail to calm down.

The reason why Abigail beat them up was because of her protective instinct. And at the same time, she was triggered when those ghosts and corpses started bothering her and Nathan.

The White Ladies even surrounded Nathan as soon as they saw how handsome he was. The White Ladies were taking advantage of the situation to touch Nathan. Abigail got pissed off after seeing that scene. How dare they touch the man she was trying to win over?

The ghosts and corpses were still wincing in pain as they rolled over the floor. They were scared of Abigail. They didn't expect that a customer would suddenly assault them.

"Damn! If she can't handle the Ghosts here in the Haunted House Trip, she shouldn't have entered our House of Horror!" The staff complained as they tried to stand up, getting away from Abigail.

"We should call the security or the police!" one haunted house personnel suggested to the others.

Nathan squinted his eyes at them the moment he heard those words. They came there to enjoy themselves. He didn't want them to ruin the moment.

"No need to involve the police. Someone will come here to compensate you," Nathan informed them with a cold voice.

Before they could respond, Nathan already scooped Ethan in his arm and grabbed Abigail's hand using his free hand. He pulled them as they continued to traverse the horror house.

Abigail already made a mental note that she would behave. She would no longer create a scene, otherwise, she might end up in a prison. Fortunately, Nathan supported her.

Just when the three of them fled, Axel and Chantha arrived. The staff members who were lying on the floor were about to report this scene when Axel showed up.

"Everyone, please tell me your bank accounts. I will transfer cash as compensation for what the Lady did to you a while ago." Axel said professionally. He was used to cleaning up this kind of mess.

The horror house staff members who were acting as ghosts and human corpses just exchanged glances with one another. At first, they didn't believe him but when Axel showed his company ID, everyone gasped in surprise.

An employee came from the SYP Starlight Corp. What if the couples were the Big Bosses of the SYP Starlight Corp?

"Oh my Gosh! I just remembered! No wonder the guy looks familiar. He is the CEO of the SYP Starlight, Nathan Sparks!" One person among them recognized Nathan.

They were overwhelmed by that discovery. Without a second thought, they cooperated with Axel. They would no longer complain or file a report against Abigail.

"Sir... Do you know who the woman is with him?" They began asking Axel for gossip. They didn't recognize Abigail Scarlett.

"Is she Nathan's new girlfriend?" Another person raised this question. "She is scary... and violent!"

Axel could only keep his mouth shut. He was not allowed to disclose any information about Nathan and Abigail. He chose to be silent instead of denying it.

Chantha who was standing next to Axel could no longer wait further. "Let's go! We need to follow them or else we will lose them!" She tugged Axel's suit.

"I'm still talking to them. You can go ahead if you want." Axel was not yet done taking all their account numbers. Nathan gave him this task.

But little did he know, Chantha was afraid of the ghosts and ugly-looking corpses here so she couldn't go alone. She wanted to stick with Axel. This was the reason why she kept dragging Axel with her.

She was a brave woman when it came to fighting but she was a scaredy cat when it came to horror houses like this. But due to her curiosity and her goal to follow Nathan and Abigail she endured this horror house trip. Besides, Axel was with her.

Chantha pouted her lips and put on a pitiful face. She was giving him a puppy-eyed look, pleading with him to come with her.

Axel could only sigh in defeat. Surprisingly, he couldn't refuse her, especially now that Chantha was begging him.

"I will give you my calling card. Just text me here all your bank accounts. Rest assured that all of you will be compensated well." Axel told them before grabbing Chantha's hand. Chantha smiled at him since he became considerate of her today.

"Yes!" Chantha murmured, punching the air. Then she obediently followed Axel as they traversed through the horror house. The place was becoming darker and darker. Only dim lamps and candles gave them the source of light.

'Damn! I will not go to this kind of place ever again.' Chantha thought to herself. She was trying her best to hide her nervousness and fear. She didn't want Axel to find out that she was afraid.

Chantha and Axel were passing by the coffin when someone suddenly sat up from the inside, surprising Chantha to the core.

"Aaaahhh!!!" Chantha screamed loudly before pouncing on Axel. Axel was also caught off guard when Chantha suddenly clung to him, hugging him tightly.

She even buried her face into his chest, her arms wrapped around his neck. Axel was still in a daze since this was the first time he saw Chantha getting afraid like this.

When he got recovered from the daze, Axel flashed a satisfied smile. Without a second thought, Axel put his arm behind her back, pulling her closer to him.

Axel and Chantha remained hugging each other until Chantha was able to calm herself.

Meanwhile, Ethan, Nathan, and Abigail finally finished the tour in the Haunted House. Ethan and Nathan still couldn't get over what had transpired inside the Haunted House.

"Are you both okay? I'm sorry for making a scene a while ago. I didn't mean to do that." Abigail apologized to them.

Nathan didn't utter a word but Ethan was the one who consoled Abigail. "It's alright, Miss Abi. No need to be sorry. If you didn't do it, I'm afraid Dad would be the one who would take action." Ethan let out a soft giggle, lightening the mood.

"Miss Abi, Dad... let's ride the Ferris Wheel next!" Ethan cheerfully guided his father and Abigail towards the Ferris Wheel booth.

He was the one who bought the tickets. But this time, Ethan only bought two tickets, one for Abigail and one for Nathan. Nathan and Abigail were already inside the cabin when Ethan didn't join them.

"Miss Abi, Dad, please enjoy this ride! I will wait for you. I will just take a rest for a while!" Ethan waved at them as he motioned to the operator to lock the cabin.

It was already too late for Nathan and Abigail to leave the cabin.

'Little Ethan!' Abigail called him inwardly. She felt uncomfortable now that she was left alone with Nathan. The two hadn't made up yet.

When the Ferris Wheel began to move, Abigail and Nathan settled down on their respective seats, looking in different directions. Their cabin was slowly ascending. This Ferris Wheel was the tallest in the Country M having a height of 250 meters.

When they reached the peak, Abigail suddenly felt some discomfort. She looked at her surroundings and she felt her head spinning.

Abigail clutched tightly on her seat and closed her eyes. She was clenching her teeth, panting. Her body began to sweat.

Nathan who was seated next to her sensed that something was off so he turned to his side only to find out Abigail with her closed eyes. Her face became pale and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

'What's wrong with her? Does she have motion sickness? Or is she afraid of height?' Nathan asked himself. The crease on his forehead deepened when Abigail's breathing became ragged.

Reflexively, Nathan tapped Abigail's back and asked her, "Are you okay?" There was a hint of concern in his voice.

Abigail slowly opened her eyes and gripped Nathan's hand tightly. "I'm feeling dizzy... my head is throbbing." Abigail didn't deny that she was feeling unwell.

She didn't know if her body could remember the feeling of falling off the 13th Floor and this same feeling was triggered by this Ferris Wheel ride. Or it was connected to her childhood memory, related to her accident.

'I was fine riding the roller coaster... but not the Ferris Wheel?' Abigail lamented to herself. She didn't know what she should do. The discomfort was increasing by the second.

"Nate, please..." her grip on his arm tightened further.

"What do you want me to do?" Nathan asked her in his calm tone. But deep inside, he was worried about her.

"I-I... don't know... please make me feel better..."

Without saying a word, Nathan pulled Abigail closer to him and engulfed her in his strong arms.
