The crowd collectively gasped, all eyes snapping to the unexpected interloper.
It was a woman, her delicate features framed by loose clothing, her slightly rounded belly hinting at pregnancy. Who was she, and what gave her the nerve to barge in with such audacity?
When Abraham spotted Mallie, his dark eyes narrowed in disbelief. She had been a loyal companion for years, the most compliant and drama-free among his many flings. Lately, he'd been ignoring her, a tactic to remind her of her place. Yet, the idea of her betraying him seemed impossible.
His mind quickly leapt to the conclusion that someone else was behind this. But who? The thought made his brow crease deeply. He had an inkling, but accepting it was another matter entirely.
Thankfully, Abraham was no stranger to handling crises. Despite the chaos in his head, he swiftly collected himself. He signaled to Levi in the crowd while speaking to Mallie with a playful lilt over the microphone.
"Miss, it seems there might be some misunderstanding here. Let's talk this over after my speech. I'll listen to your concerns personally, okay?"
He maintained a calm and charming demeanor, like a father figure, which only fueled his supporters' disapproval of Mallie. Causing a scene at such a crucial event? What was she thinking?
Abraham's face darkened visibly, not expecting Mallie to cause such a ruckus. In the stands, Selena watched with a satisfied smile. This was her plan all along.
