"Jacqueline!"
"Take her to the hospital!" Niall ordered his chauffeur.
They picked Jacqueline up and placed her in the car.
"You stay here..if it was late just go to bed" Niall told Abby while sitting in the car with Helena.
The car drove off.
"Party is over..Everyone leave" Bobby commanded and everyone left.

"Good to see you Ryan" Bobby commented once Ryan was about to pass him. And she heard it.
Ryan glared at Bobby for a brief second.
"I will take her divorce and remove your stupid last name from her" He sneered.
"Good luck" Bobby said sarcastically.
Ryan growled and walked away.
Bobby walked inside and Abby decided to follow him.
He walked into his office and she entered as well.

"I want to know everything" she said.
"Hmm?"
"I want to know everything. Why you and my family won't get along? Why the constant bitter talking?"
"Hmm..are you sure that you're ready for the truth?" He sat behind his desk removing his hat.
"Yes I am. Last time you didn't say it because I was pregnant. I'm not now. I'm ready to know the truth"
"I know you're ready but I think it's for the best to wait for Niall as well" Bobby said.
"Once Niall comes home, you'll give me answers?"
"I will" he nodded.
She nodded and exited the room closing the door behind.

Time passed and there was no sign of Niall, Helena, and Jacqueline.
Abby was walking around in her room in her gown waiting for her husband. She glanced at the clock.
12:30 a.m. she sighed and kept walking back and forth.
She suddenly heard the door being opened. She looked and it was Niall. He thought she's sleeping so he was being cautious not to make any sound.

"You're still awake?" He asked quietly once she came to his view.
"Yeah I was worried. If they attacked her that means you're in danger too"
He smiled a little.
"You were worried about me?"
She gave her a look.
"Are you for real right now?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry" he said hugging her. But he couldn't stop smiling. She was worried about him.
"What happened to her? Is she okay?" She asked once they broke apart from the hug.
"Some random stranger attacked her with a knife when she was close to the mansion. The police is already investigating. She's staying at the hospital tonight. There's already guards standing behind the door so there won't be anymore attacks" he said.
"That's so scary"
"It is but I won't let anything happen to you" he promised.

"Uh .." he stammered.
"What is it?" She asked kindly.
"She has to come here after she's discharged from the hospital. For investigation and also it's safer here"
"What?" She became disappointed.
"I'm sorry I wish I could do something about it"
"You can. Don't let her come here"
"Babe her mother is like my second mom. She herself is my childhood friend.. and I .."
"Childhood friend who's nothing but problematic"
"Abby" he sighed.
"She won't do anything. I promise" he said.

"Why they moved in here from the first place?"
"Helena's husband abandoned them. Helena is my dad's childhood friend. They're like siblings. He wasn't in Ireland he was here. That's why they moved here"
"I don't have a good feeling about this Niall"
"I won't let anything happen. I promise" he promised again.
She let out long sigh and nodded.
He kissed her forehead.
"Let's go to sleep. It's really late" he said.

The next evening Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital.
She came home holding her now bandaged stomach.
"Steady" Helena helped her to go to their room.
Niall was going to leave but Abby held his hand.
"Is something wrong?" He asked.
"Follow me" she said walking toward Bobby's office.
"Why are we here?" He asked suspiciously once they were standing behind the closed door.
Was she ready to know the truth?
Maybe yes, maybe no. But she wanted to end this constant war. She took a deep breath and knocked.
"Come in" said Bobby.
"Abby?" Niall asked one more time.
She stared at him for a second and opened the door entering the office.

"You said once Niall is here you will answer my question" Abby told boldly to Bobby causing him to smirk from behind his desk.
"What question?" Niall asked having no clue what they were talking about.
"She wants to know about our relationship with the Jacksons"
"No" Niall protested.
"Yes" she said.
"Abby no"
"Why not?!"
"Because I know your heart can't take it"
"Well let's try then"
He gave her a glare.

"I want to know" she faced Bobby.
Bobby looked at Niall.
Niall shook his head side to side.
"Don't look at him. Tell me. I want to know the truth. Why do you hate the Jacksons?" Abby pressed more.
"Dad no"
"She will find out eventually. Better soon than later" Bobby said.
"Niall I want to know" 
He sighed and closed his eyes looking down.
"Abby" Bobby started.

"Your father killed Niall's mother"
