Chapter 778 Abraham's face darkened like a storm rolling in. "Everett, I get that you're upset, but you've got to watch your mouth!" In his position, he was used to having the city's elite fawn over him. Everett might be Newport's wealthiest, but such blatant disrespect was a hard pill to swallow.
Everett, however, seemed unfazed as he carried Selena away without a backward glance. As soon as he was gone, Abraham dropped the pretense, sweeping all the wine glasses off the bar in a fit of anger. "Bunch of useless fools," he muttered. "Couldn't even stop Everett. Just like that, the opportunity was gone." Mallie watched from the sidelines, a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach. She'd been called to the hotel at the last minute that night. Expecting a romantic evening with Mr. Abraham, she'd dolled herself up, sprayed on sperfume, and arrived with a hopeful heart.
But instead of a warm welcome, she'd been asked to wait in a room downstairs, ready to step in if anything went amiss. Despite her fear, Mallie's feelings for Abraham were genuine, and she couldn't bear to see him upset. Steeling herself, she approached him gently.

Her tenderness seemed to ease Abraham's anger, especially as he looked down at her, noting how, in this light, her features reminded him so much of Selena's. The memory of Selena beneath him earlier, her pale skin and alluring form, turned his anger into something else entirely.
With the effects of the earlier drug still simmering in his veins, he suddenly seized Mallie's wrist, pulling her down onto the sofa, the nearby bed forgotten. He grabbed a cushion and pressed it over Mallie's face.
Startled, Mallie managed a muffled, "Mr. Abraham, what is-?" "Not a sound!" he demanded. "It has to be quiet!" And with that, he took her with a fervor that left her world spinning. Mallie's vision was dark behind the pillow, but the real darkness was inside, a chasm of despair that left her trembling.
Abraham had no shortage of women eager to be in her position. When she'd met him, Mallie had been at rock bottom. Her father was drowning in debt, her mother was sick and needed costly treatment, forcing Mallie to work in a bar just to make ends meet.
In that harsh environment, she often faced unwanted advances and worse, harassment from sleazy men. Then she met Abraham.
He was different-handsome, courteous, and he didn't wield his power to mistreat her. She'd taken a leap of faith, offering herself to him, a gamble when so many of her friends had failed. To her surprise, he accepted her and treated her with kindness.
Her life transformed completely. Even when she learned he had other women, she felt uneasy but not devastated. After all, Mr. Abraham wasn't emotionally involved with them; they were just there to fulfill his needs, leaving her free to stay by his side.
