Chapter 546 Deception



[ At Dave\'s Apartment…]

Helena was sitting leisurely in the living room, enjoying her coffee. It did not take long before a woman came out of the bedroom. Her body was only covered with a towel. She was Dave\'s colleague who has a crush on him. 

"Have you recorded it?" Helena asked her, smirking evilly.

"Yes. I did." The woman grinned at her, waving her phone in front of her.

Helena extended her right hand and said, "Let me see."

She handed her phone over to her, showing her the recorded video. Helena grinned widely after seeing the footage.

"If he denies and tells you that he doesn\'t recall anything, show him this proof. The angle is good. I don\'t think Dave will notice something. His face was emphasized in the video." Helena gave her comments.

"Good job, Karina." She commended her once again. After that, she picked up something inside her pouch and gave her the money.

Karina\'s eyebrows twitched in a deep frown. "This is not what I wanted but as long as Dave breaks up with her, I will feel happy." She eventually accepted the money.

"How is Dave?" Helena asked her.

Karina crumpled her face in disappointment as she recalled what transpired a while ago. "He fainted even before we could do something. He was allergic to the drug. So we resorted to plan B."

They were still talking when a guy entered the house, carrying unconscious Dave. He placed him on the bed and joined the ladies in the living room.

The guy walked toward Karina, hugging her from behind. "Babe, that was amazing!"

Karina just pushed him. "Let go. We are done here. Can you please take off your mask? You are not Dave!"

The guy immediately removed his hyper-realistic mask that imitated the exact appearance of Dave. A while ago, he looked like Dave\'s twin.

"Okay. I\'ll leave. Just give me my money," the guy demanded.

Karina threw the envelope containing the money into his face. "Here! Take this. Just don\'t show your face to me again."

The guy just let out a chuckle. "Are you sure? As far as I know, you enjoyed our intense physical activity," he mumbled tauntingly.

Karina just rolled her eyes skyward and elbowed him. Helena just watched their interactions.

"I think we should leave now. You still have something left to do here," Helena said as she shifted her gaze to the bedroom where Dave was sleeping.

"He might wake up soon. You should lie beside him so that you are the first woman he will see once he wakes up. You must make him believe that something happened between the two of you. Demand him to take responsibility as he took your virginity."

"That\'s the only way you can steal him away from that woman. Dave is a gentleman. His conscience won\'t allow him to take you for granted or ignore you. He will feel guilty for this and he will take responsibility. That\'s the kind of person he is." Helena spoke as if she had known Dave for so long. Vincent always mentioned Dave. He told Helena everything about Dave and his qualities.

Karina could only nod her head, feeling hopeful. Dave had been his colleague for so long. Even from the start, she already liked him because of his good qualities and positive traits.

Unfortunately, Dave didn\'t take notice of her because he already had someone he loved. He was faithful to her. So when Helena approached her for this one-time opportunity, she immediately grabbed it. She wanted to separate Dave and Abigail so that she could come into the picture.

Their plan A was to drug Dave and she would sleep with him allowing Abigail to catch them. However, Dave was allergic to the drug that she used and he fainted even before they could do something intimate.

They resorted to Plan B–using someone to pretend as Dave. The guy Abigail had seen in the bed a while ago was not Dave. It was an impostor. They just used a high-quality hyper-reality mask to imitate his appearance and facial features. Through this, they deceived Abigail, making her believe that Dave betrayed her.

"I\'m going inside the bedroom and lying beside him. Have you undressed him already?" Karina asked the guy who put Dave in his bedroom.

"Yes. I already did. You can do whatever you want with him." The guy smirked at her.I think you should take a look at

Karina nodded her head and eagerly went to Dave\'s room. She joined him on the bed after stripping herself naked.

Meanwhile, Abigail had been running on the streets with tears in her eyes. She didn\'t have a clear destination in mind. She didn\'t care about the people or bystanders watching her strangely. She continued moving.

She wanted to run. The feeling was very suffocating. She was hurt. Her heart was broken. She couldn\'t believe that Dave would do this to her. She refused to believe it but she had seen it with her own eyes.

She recognized the woman a while ago. Dave introduced her to Karina before. She knew that Dave and Karina were colleagues. She also noticed that Karina admired Dave and she liked him a lot. But Dave always made her feel special, not giving her room for doubt.

Never she had imagined that this day would come. She didn\'t know if she should get mad at him or at herself. She was asking herself if she was the one who pushed Dave to cheat. She hurt his feelings when she fell for Nathan when she lost her memory. Abigail was afraid that she was at fault here.

Abigail\'s tears kept falling, blurring her vision. She was crossing the street and didn\'t see the car approaching her spot.

Beep! Beep!

The car was about to hit her when someone grabbed her by her waist, pulling her for her safety. Alexander had been following her since she left Dave\'s apartment.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Is he worth it?" Alexander scolded her.

When she heard that, Abigail burst into tears once more, sobbing in his arms. She couldn\'t stop herself from crying. Alexander just held her in his arms, allowing her to cry.

He engulfed her in his arms, comforting her. They stood there on the streets for several minutes, just waiting for Abigail to calm down.

When she finally stopped crying, Alexander grabbed a taxi. He wanted to bring her to a place where she could release all her negative emotions.

"Where are we going?" Abigail asked Alexander.

"Just trust me. I\'ll keep you safe," Alexander reassured her.

They rode the taxi and they were transported to a place far away from the city. Alexander brought her to the Highland Resort, the highest place in town.

Alexander led her to the spot where she could have her privacy. "If you want to scream and cry, do this here. No one will watch you. I\'ll give you some time."

Alexander decided to let her be. But he would watch her from afar. He could tell that what Abigail had witnessed a while ago was a premeditated plan by Helena.

\'She is one scary woman. Her method is extreme.\' Alexander thought to himself. He somehow felt sorry for Abigail. He didn\'t expect that he would be affected after seeing her cry.

Abigail just stood in her spot, watching the scenery before her. She clutched her chest tightly as her tears began to fall once again from the corners of her eyes.

"Why… why did Dave do that? But I can\'t blame him. I feel like it is all my fault," Abigail talked to herself. She didn\'t know what to do. 

Abigail covered her face using both hands, her body trembling as she sobbed. It did not take long before she wiped her tears. She didn\'t want to go home yet because her sister and her father might notice that she cried. Her eyes were puffy and red. 

Since she finally calmed down, Alexander approached her. "Are you done? Do you feel better now?"

Abigail bit her lower lip. She felt embarrassed because Alexander was still a stranger to her. But she appreciated him because he never left her. She almost got into an accident again if not for him.

"Thank you, Mr. Alexander. I\'m sorry for bothering you. I\'m ashamed for letting you see me like this." Abigail lowered her gaze. She couldn\'t look at him straight into his eyes.

"No, it\'s okay. I understand your pain." Alexander looked at her, tapping her shoulder. Then he was reminded of the woman whom he truly loved for the first time.

"I once loved a woman. I thought we were meant to be… but my hope was shattered. I wanted to marry her only to find out she had another man." Alexander opened up to her. He was referring to Monica and Nathan.

Abigail just listened to him. Then she smiled faintly.

"I know it will take time… but I hope you will be fine."
