Charles Whitaker was the late spouse of Grady's agent, Kitty. She was very much aware of what was going on Amberley. Charles Whitaker's books were funding the island. When he realized that they were "removing" all of the men. He stopped writing and then killed himself. The women of Amberley tried replacing him with other authors, but it didn't work out. Kitty sent Grady to Amberley because she thought he would be able to write more best sellers and keep Amberley solvent.
Abby ran away to Amberley because that night on the road, Grady tried killing Abby. He saw a pregnancy test and thought she was cheating on him, but instead, she was withdrawing money from their account to pay for IVF. She survived his attempt and ran away to the place where she grew up, Amberley.
The women of Amberley ended up getting Grady in the end.
