I sought for the person who had taken it and found him holding the phone, which was already in his ear, nodding his head with both eyes closed.
"B-Blade..."
"I'll take him to a restaurant near Spencers Corp.,"
His voice was deep as he spoke to Mushroom on the other line.
He didn't even look in my direction when he opened his eyes.
My gaze was drawn to his hand, which was covered in white gauze with traces of blood on it.
''W-What happened to you? A-Are you okay?''
''I'm not okay, I feel like I'm about to die.'' He glanced at me before hanging up.
''H-Huh? Does it hurt so bad? You didn't have that before, how did you-''
''Crystal, I'm fine. It's just a small wound.'' He said before he handed me my phone.
"It's a good thing you came on your own and found me because I have no idea where to even start looking for you."
"Will you just leave alone and meet that man if you didn’t find me?"
“Shit, I’m freaking nervous.” I don’t know what to do. My heart is throbbing too fast and I seem to have a worm in my ass because I can’t sit still. “Don’t be too nervous cause you might pee in the seat. I just cleaned this car so...” I glared at him. He chuckled at my reaction. “Chill, this day will go smoothly.” “Then how do I look? It’s the first time I’ve lifted my hair this high. It’s much like I’m going to join a beauty pageant. And the PAIN ON MY SCALP! UGH!“ I pat my hair tied very high by the stylist that Sam hired. They said that it would be better if I looked clean at the press conference, so they only made me wore a nude color pantsuit, as well as my heels. Earlier, when Blade first saw me, he even teased me by calling me Ariana Grande. I wondered how did he know that? I thought that was not the trend here in Denmark. “Just be presentable in everyone’s eyes, Heiress.” Blade said. “Hei
“What are you doing here!?” “You’re finally awake.” I was shocked when Noah stood up to approach him. ‘’W-Wait, why is he here? Isn’t he on Liam’s side?’’ My jaw dropped as Noah lifted his arm to put on Blade’s shoulder. ‘’I’m the first one he serves before he got into Spencers. Also, I have full trust in Blade because he is my most loyal person.’’ ‘‘Huh? Since when?’’ ‘’Three years ago. ‘’ Noah looked slightly at him before turning back to me. ‘’That’s such a long story that you don’t need to know. The important thing is that Blade is here, and he helps us gain insights into the people who put you in danger. ‘’ He let go of Blade and came back closer to my seat. Wasn’t Blade an accomplice in what happened in the conference hall? Because it seemed strange that he did not accompany me that night. I no longer knew what was going on. I’m confused. “Whatever you’re thinking Crystal, you are w
“W-What? That can’t be true!” “However, it is true. You can check it right now if you want. But I’m telling you, Liam has already closed it.” Blade said in a solemn tone and stared me down. “Pfft-” Noah’s laughter drew my attention to him. “What’s so funny about that? I lost a possible business that could have supported my expenses and stayed alive in this country.” “Chill, I just didn’t imagine your husband was that cheap. He takes his gift back?” He chuckled. “Maybe because he didn’t actually give it to me as a gift, he said that he just did it so that the people wouldn’t doubt him about — “Wait, no one even noticed I was missing?” They were so invested in our lives that when they found out Liam had married me, I received too much criticism and a bad reaction. “When you were no longer seen, people had different reactions. However, after the Spencers released a statement, all speculation regarding your disappearance wa
[THIRD PERSON POV] “Thank you so much babe, for getting rid of that woman from our lives.” “Of course, didn’t I promise you that once I’m done with Eureka, I’ll figure out a way to get rid of her?” Maddison slid her feet into the pool while resting her head on Liam’s shoulder. They’re presently relaxing by the pool as the rest of the family sleeps. “I thought my heart would burst when I saw you two together,” Maddison murmured, her gaze dropping from Liam’s eyes to his lips, with a hint of teasing in her voice. Their bodies slowly pressed together as Liam brought his face close to Maddison.His tongue pressed between parted lips in ticklish kitten licks, breathing heavily as their lips brushed on each other. They could taste their shared breath, feel the thud of the combined heartbeat as they fumbled to take off one another’s clothes. Not too far, Blade stood nearby, his body quivering with rage as he saw what’s happening
“Come here!” Noah kept stomping and scratching his head in front of a door. “Crystal, come faster!” He didn’t even help me and instead ran towards the door. I scowled at him and continued to walk slowly, as my body still felt weak. “Hurry!” He said, almost whining. “You realize I’m not in good enough condition to move faster right now, right? I know you let me eat, but that doesn’t mean I can alrea-“ I stumbled back as his stride approaches me. With the extra length of his limb, it was as if he had only taken five steps towards my direction. I expected him to simply lend a hand to me, but I was taken aback when he abruptly grabbed me up and began lifting my legs in the air. I gasp. “N-Noah” I can’t look at him, but I caught a glimpse of him looking at me from the corner of my eye as he began to take steps forward. “What the hell are you doing..?” My hands clutching the front of his delicate blouse so I won’t fal
"Dad." Noah called his father and approached him instantly. I even saw a glimpse of his mouth nearing his ear as if he was whispering something. But I didn't hear what Noah said to him, and I'm not the type to pry into their conversations. "Amara..." He called the baby girl's name again as he walked closer to me. I tugged my hair at my earlobe as my lips curved into a smile that didn't make a mess at the edge of my eyes. I step back a little so he can walk towards the baby crib. I witnessed how Noah's father's eyebrows arched up as his lips drawn in firmly. He looks really sad right now, staring at the stuff of his lost daughter. I gently raised my hand and pat him on his back. "Don't worry Sir, your daughter will be back soon. I'm pretty sure that she can't wait to see her father and hug him as tight as how long they have been far from each other." Is this how Mom feels as well? Does she want to see me again because she misses me?
“We will get this, and this… this… and… that.”I am just going after Noah's footsteps inside this boutique and he's as if going to buy the whole place because of how many times he said we're going to get the clothes.I can't let him do this anymore, I tugged the edge of his shirt and tried to get his attention.He whirled his head a bit to look at his back.“That's plenty of clothes for staying an entire year at your house."I notice the sales lady's eyes shifted to us so I slightly lowered the white cap I’m wearing to cover my face because I seemed to have grabbed her attention. I took a little step closer to Noah and whispered. “Let's simply buy three pairs and that would be enough for a few couples of days.”"For a few days? You don't know how many more nights you'll stay at home so we should already have clothes ready for you to change. Crys-" I didn't l
I felt hands grip my shoulder to save me from drowning in his eyes once again. Noah pulled me onto his back to hide. Liam couldn't seem to believe he saw me still standing on my own feet, he looks perplexed as to why am I still breathing. I could no longer see him because of how tall Noah is and how wide is his shoulders block me. But the only person that my eyes spotted is Maddison who is glaring at Liam. "So you're the one who abducted her?" I instantly shifted my eyes to Liam's direction even though I am actually looking at Noah's back. "What?" Noah chuckled sarcastically. "I can't believe that sharp tongue of yours can still lie. What do you want to happen? Crystal will believe you that I kidnapped her and I will be the bad person in her eyes like what you did before?" I was about to come out from behind Noah because I wanted to ask Liam why he said those things. But I failed when Noah hold my hand to stop me from getting out behind
