The Twisted Obsession-Chapter 311: Warning

Abby’s heels clicked rhythmically on the polished marble floor as she made her way through the grand foyer of Nicole’s luxurious penthouse. The walls, adorned with contemporary art, echoed the elegance of the space. As she reached the door, she paused, straightened her dress, and took a deep breath before knocking. She had rehearsed this encounter in her mind countless times, perfecting the balance between charm and veiled threat. Today, she would make sure Nicole understood just how important Remo was to her.

A few moments later, the door swung open to reveal Nicole, dressed casually in a silk robe, her expression a mix of surprise and curiosity. "Abby," she greeted, a hint of wariness in her voice. "This is unexpected. What brings you here?"

Abby offered her a bright, seemingly genuine smile, her eyes warm and inviting. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d drop by for a chat. I hope I’m not interrupting anything?"

Nicole hesitated for a moment before stepping aside, allowing Abby to enter. "Not at all. Please, come in."

The two women made their way to the sitting area, where Nicole gestured for Abby to take a seat on the plush sofa. The room was tastefully decorated, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the city skyline. Abby took a moment to appreciate the decor, the calmness of the setting belying the storm brewing beneath her composed exterior.

Nicole poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Abby before sitting across from her. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" she asked, taking a sip of her drink, her tone casual yet guarded.

Abby twirled the stem of her glass between her fingers, her smile never faltering. "I just wanted to catch up. It’s been a while since we last spoke, and I thought it might be nice to reconnect. After all, we share a common bond, don’t we?"

Nicole raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Abby’s sudden friendliness. "And what bond might that be?"

"Remo, of course," Abby replied, her tone light, almost playful. "He’s very important to both of us."

Nicole’s expression tightened, but she kept her tone neutral. "Yes, Remo is... important. But I’m not sure why you felt the need to bring that up."

Abby leaned forward slightly, her smile widening. "I just wanted to make sure we’re on the same page, Nicole. You see, I love Remo more than anything in this world, and I would do absolutely anything to protect what we have. I’m sure you can understand that, can’t you?"

Nicole stiffened, sensing the underlying threat in Abby’s words. "Abby, what exactly are you trying to say?"

For a moment, Abby’s expression remained soft and sweet, but then something shifted in her eyes—a glint of something darker, something far more dangerous. She set her glass down on the table with deliberate care, her gaze never leaving Nicole’s.

"What I’m saying, Nicole," Abby began, her voice dropping to a menacing whisper, "is that if you ever try to come between Remo and me, I will make sure you regret it. You see, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty if it means protecting what’s mine."

Nicole’s eyes widened, and she let out a nervous laugh, trying to brush off the tension. "You’re crazy," she muttered, shaking her head in disbelief.

Abby’s smile returned, but this time, it was laced with an unsettling edge. "I know," she admitted without hesitation. "And that’s what should worry you."

Before Nicole could respond, Abby was on her feet, moving with a speed that caught Nicole off guard. In an instant, Abby had crossed the room, her hand wrapping tightly around Nicole’s wrist. The wine glass slipped from Nicole’s grasp, shattering on the floor as Abby yanked her closer, their faces inches apart.

Nicole’s heart raced, her breath catching in her throat as she stared into Abby’s eyes. Gone was the friendly demeanor; in its place was a cold, unyielding fury that made Nicole’s blood run cold.

"You think you can waltz into my life and take what’s mine?" Abby hissed, her grip on Nicole’s wrist tightening to the point of pain. "You have no idea who you’re dealing with."

Nicole struggled to pull away, her other hand coming up to push Abby back, but Abby was relentless, her strength surprising. "Let go of me," Nicole demanded, her voice trembling.

Abby ignored her, leaning in even closer, her voice a low, venomous whisper. "If you ever so much as look at Remo again, I will make you disappear. No one will ever find you, Nicole. You’ll be nothing more than a memory, a whisper in the wind."

Nicole’s fear spiked as she realized just how serious Abby was. The woman standing before her wasn’t just a jealous wife—she was a woman on the edge, willing to do whatever it took to keep her husband. And in that moment, Nicole knew she was powerless against the dark force that was Abby.

Abby released Nicole’s wrist with a shove, sending her stumbling back onto the sofa. Nicole’s hand flew to her chest, her heart pounding as she stared at Abby in shock.

Abby took a step back, smoothing out her dress as if nothing had happened. The unsettling calm returned to her features, the sweet smile once again plastered on her face. "I’m glad we had this little chat," she said cheerfully, as if she hadn’t just threatened Nicole’s life. "I do hope we can remain... civil moving forward."

Nicole didn’t respond, still reeling from the confrontation. She watched in stunned silence as Abby retrieved her purse, turning to leave.

As Abby reached the door, she paused, glancing back over her shoulder with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. "Oh, and Nicole," she added, her tone deceptively light, "remember this: Remo belongs to me. And I always take care of what’s mine."

With that, Abby walked out, leaving Nicole trembling in the wake of her visit. The door clicked shut behind her, the sound echoing in the otherwise silent penthouse. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Nicole sat frozen on the sofa, her mind racing as she processed what had just happened. The fear that had taken hold of her refused to let go, a gnawing sense of dread settling in the pit of her stomach. She had underestimated Abby—gravely so. And now she knew that she needed to tread carefully, or risk facing the wrath of a woman who had nothing to lose.

As Abby stepped into the elevator, a twisted sense of satisfaction curled within her. She had done what needed to be done, and now Nicole knew exactly where she stood. Remo was hers, and nothing—and no one—would take him away from her.

As the elevator doors closed, Abby’s expression softened, her thoughts drifting back to Remo. She would do anything to protect him, to keep their love intact. And if that meant eliminating a few obstacles along the way, so be it.

After all, in love and war, there were no rules.
