Next chapter!! Chapter 54 "Abigail Wyczenski?" A short woman with a stern face inquired, two taller women, one a redhead and one a brunette, behind her. "Yes, that's me," Abby's face shone with confusion. The shorter woman extended her hand. "I'm an attorney, Sandra Cromwell specializing in domestic disputes and abuse cases. I was wondering if I could have a word with you." Abby felt a sick feeling begin to form in her stomach, but pushing it down, she simply rose and led the three women toward an empty table, leaving Neela and Susan with faces as confused as her own. Once the four women were seated, Sandra dove into an explanation. "This," she pointed to the brunette, "Is Rose Thomas, and this," she gestured to the redhead, "Is Rachel Roberts." Abby felt instantly that she had heard those names before, and yet somehow she couldn't place her finger on where. "I know you're at work, so we won't take much of your time," Sandra spoke quickly. "Abigail, last night I was approached by a young woman about prosecuting a certain high profile man that she claims has beat her. The case will be extremely difficult to win, because this woman is, well, she's a prostitute, Abigail, and the man, he's a politician. A very well-known one, at that. Any idea who that politician may be, Abigail?" Abby didn't meet the woman's eyes, but simply shook her head, swallowing a large lump in her throat. "Yeah, I think I have an idea." "Abigail, I need you to tell me if I should have any reason to believe that this was not completely out of character for this man, who is greatly respected in this community. Anything that would help my case, which is that this man is not quite what he seems. Is that something you would agree with, Abigail?" Sandra's face and tone were stern, but Abby somehow felt safe in her presence, immediately trusting the shorter woman. "Before you answer that, maybe you should know just how these two women here are connected to this. Rachel here dated our "mystery" politician for three years in their college days at USC. Rose, was married to him for just over a year about 5 years ago. Then there's you. You were engaged to the same man and then your engagement was called off. Now, I know that defending a prostitute against one of the most powerful men in the state would be an extremely hard battle. The three of you, however, could make that battle a whole lot easier for me, not to mention, bring justice to a man who, in my opinion, needs to be found out as the no good bastard that he is!" Abby felt as her head was spinning. She didn't say anything for a moment, but instead, sat in silence as she absorbed the information she had just received. "So, he was um, abusive to the both of you as well?" Abby finally found her voice and glanced at the two women who she shared an unfortunate bond with. They both nodded their heads. "But, why didn't you ever tell anyone, press charges?" Abby fought back the rage that she was feeling toward the man she had almost married. "Why didn't you?" Rachel asked her quietly with a pointed stare.

Chapter 55 Abby felt her heart drop. She was right. Suddenly she was overcome with guilt over her silence. "I, I just wanted to be done with him," Abby voice broke as tears threatened to spill over. "I know I probably should have told someone, I just, I was scared." Rose reached out and rubbed her hand across Abby's arm. "Abigail, I know exactly how you feel. Don't you think that I don't realize that if I had done something when it happened to me, that he may not have been able to do it to you?" "Or if I had done something way back in college, maybe none of you would have had to suffer," Rachel's eyes were filled with sadness as she glanced between Abby and Rose. "Listen to me, ladies," Sandra spoke up, causing them all to focus on her. "There is strength in numbers. You have a chance here to change things. You can put an end to this man's trail of abuse. If you all come together and present a united front, I know we can put this bastard where he belongs." "I'm in if they are," Rachel nodded firmly. "Me too," Rose agreed. All three heads turned to Abby. "Abigail?" Sandra prompted. Abby felt overwhelmed. What they were asking her to do was to go public with something that she was ashamed of. Something that she had done her best to conceal from the world. Something she had hoped to never have to deal with again. "I, I need some time to think," Abby stammered. Sighing, Sandra reached into her bag. "Here's my card. Call me as soon as you decide. We can do this without you if we have to, Abigail, but you were the most recent. He got you to agree to marry him. We need you here. You are our living proof that this was not just some bad habit that this man has since moved on from. We need you to prove that he is still the monster that you know he is. Think about it, that's fine, but don't take too long. Everyday we wait in another day that this man goes around scott free, looking for his next victim." Abby sat in a stunned silence as she watched the three women leave. She fingered Sandra's card in her hand, turning it over and over as the woman's words tumbled around in her head. The rest of her day passed in a blur. It was all she could do to keep her mind on the tasks in front of her. All she wanted to do was go home. Home to Luka. Home to a place where she knew she would find safety and love. Just thinking about the man that was waiting for her made her smile.

Thanks guys!! Chapter 56 Luka was beyond ready for Abby to come home from work. He had spent his day off enjoyably enough, but the memories of making love to Abby had him desperate to hold her again. He grinned as he remembered the look in her eyes as he thrust inside of her. He loved the sound of her calling out his name. He had waited to hear that sound for so long, and last night, he had finally heard what he had come to think of as his most favourite sound in the world. As the time for Abby's return neared, Luka buzzed around the apartment in anticipation. He smiled as he moved her things out of the guest room and into his bedroom, and was amazed by just how right it all felt. For a man who had barely let his previous girlfriends spend the night at his place, he was certainly finding comfort in co-habitation bliss fairly quickly. It's those eyes Luka thought to himself with a grin. Hearing the doorbell ring, he rushed to answer it, momentarily forgetting that Abby had her own key and would not be using the doorbell. "Rebecca?" Luka felt his face fall as he took in the sight of the woman in front of him. "Happy to see me?" Rebecca smiled as she pushed her way into the apartment and began to remove her coat. "No, actually," Luka frowned as he moved back inside. "What the hell are you doing here?" "Oh, come on, Luka," Rebecca pouted, "You can't tell me you don't miss me. I know I miss you." As she spoke she began to move slowly toward Luka, a look of desire evident in her eyes. "I don't miss you, Rebecca," Luka sighed as he moved out of her path. "I'm in a relationship with Abby and I've never been happier." Rebecca's face clouded over in anger. "Abby? I should have figured you would pick back up with that whore. After all, how many times did you call out her name while we were making love? I'm pretty sure I lost count." "Rebecca, you need to leave," Luka crossed his arms over his chest. "You know, Luka, I don't doubt that you love her," Rebecca purred as she moved toward Luka. "What makes me sad is that she's just using you. She doesn't love you. Never has. She doesn't trust you. She's just going to break your heart." Luka had heard enough. He did enough self-doubting. He didn't need Rebecca to get him feeling inadequate where Abby was concerned. "Get out, Rebecca," Luka gritted through a clenched jaw. "This is not a request." Seeing the fire in Luka's eyes, Rebecca sighed. "Fine, I'll go," she gathered her coat and strolled to the door where Luka stood. Luka opened the door and waited for Rebecca to exit. "Just remember, Luka," Rebecca turned to him and placed a hand on his cheek as she stepped partially through the open door. "She's never going to love you like I do." With that, she leaned forward and placed a kiss on his lips before he could stop her. Turning to leave, Rebecca nearly collided with an angry-looking brunette.

Thanks guys!! Here's the next chapter!! Chapter 57 "Abby," Luka rushed toward her, "It's not what it looks like. Let me explain-" "I can't believe you," Abby interrupted, her cheeks flush in anger. "You told me you loved me! I should have known I couldn't trust you. Once a cheater always a cheater, huh? Well, I deserve better than a guy who's gonna cheat on me, Luka! I deserve better than you!" With that, Abby turned on her heel and began walking toward her car. If she had punched him in the face, it would have hurt less. Hearing her words, he felt as if all the air had left his body. He had always felt inadequate, not good enough, especially where Abby was concerned. He thought that she had gotten past the Julia incident, but seeing her flare up so quickly, he guessed he was wrong. Suddenly, he was angry. Angry at being told he wasn't enough. Angry at her for not trusting him. Running after her, he grabbed her arm and spun her around. "You know, Abby, maybe you do deserve better than me. Or maybe, I deserve better than someone who's gonna tell me she loves me one minute, and then accuse me of cheating the next minute without even giving me the chance to explain! I'm tired of having to prove myself, Abby. I'm never gonna be enough for you, am I?" His eyes burned into hers with an intensity that Abby had never seen before, and suddenly she began to realize that she may have judged him too quickly. "Luka," she began. "No," he interrupted, loosening his grip on her arm. "You know what happened with Rebecca? Nothing! She came over here, and I told her to get lost because I was in a loving, trusting relationship with you!" As he spoke each word, his anger seemed to grow, and Abby began to feel tears burning hot behind her eyes. "She was leaving and for whatever reason, she decided to kiss me before I could stop her. Oh, but not before she told me that you were never going to love me and trust me. Funny thing is, I think she may be right!" "Luka," Abby tried again, her voice broken. "No, you know what? I'm sick of being judged because of one mistake back in high school over ten years ago. I'm sorry I cheated on you with Julia, Abby, I really am, but it is not fair for you to hold that over my head for the rest of my life. You can't just wait until I do something dumb and bring that back up. It's not fair, and I'm tired of trying to make you see what a good man I am. If you don't know that by now, then I don't think you ever will," with that, he turned on his heel and took off in the direction of his truck. "Luka," Abby ran after him, tears flowing down her cheeks, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things! Please, Luka!" For a moment Luka felt his heart tugging at him to turn around and grab her, soothe her tears and tell her everything was going to be alright. He didn't, though. He just kept walking until he reached his truck and then quickly got in and slammed the door before she could catch him.
