Her partially numb fingers subconsciously tried moving around the satin white sheets of the hospital bed but every movement proved abortive and was barred by a severe pain that flowed through the young woman's battered up body. The state of being dead isn't suppose to be painful is it?Death comes with absolute numbness to everything and every one around you. It is a peaceful darkness that embraces you. It pulls you into its forever dark abyss and shuts down all your senses. It makes you forget both your pain and your happiness. But she could remember everything---the horrifying murder scene she stumbled upon, her eagerness to escape and the dangerous over speeding, the hot chase of Leonardo and his men as they tried to stop her from escaping and lastly the bloody crash of her Mercedes through the banister of the bridge. It was a vociferous crash that sparked a million pain cells within her. Crystal was completely immersed into darkness following that horrific accident.She
Epilogue3 years Later"Leonardo. Oh my God. Harder please" Crystal moaned as Leonardo's grip on her hair became tighter, his thrusts from behind increasing rapidly in pace inside her. Leonardo groaned deeply as he rocked her insides, riding her ferociously whilst his free hand was placed on the arch of her back, making Crystal's ass stick out further."Fucking. Sweet. Shit."Leonardo moaned lowly. He was very close to his orgasm. He groaned breathlessly, thrusting faster and faster, going in deeper with each thrust. Crystal bit her bottom lip in painful pleasure trying so hard not to pass out as a result of the manner in which he was pounding into her. The orgasmic sensation resurfaced in her. She could feel her legs shaking in ecstasy. Her legs and stomach spasmed. She couldn't take it any more as Leonardo carried on going so rough, quick and hard in his thrusts into her. "Leonardo!"Crystal screamed in a loud moan, climaxing and releasing herself so intensely.He still kept
CRYSTAL I closed my eyes nervously, exhaling and inhaling. Even though I knew I had been doing this for some weeks, my legs still felt too heavy to walk me. I had danced several times, I practice ballet and I was absolutely incredible at it but tonight I was going to be dancing as a stripper infront of men old enough to be my father. I felt knots tie in my stomach and I wanted to puke. I wished I could be anywhere but here but I just couldn't make my wish a reality. It took every self restraint in me not to cry out in frustration and anger. Ever since our parents died months ago, it has just been only I and Mabel, my younger sister, fending for each other. Life was extremely tough especially when we had to settle a debt of seven hundred thousand that was loaned by my gambling father from a crime boss.When he was alive, he never brought us peace and now he was dead and we still don't have peace as we are left to cover up his disgusting tracks.I just wondered why mum had to j
CRYSTALI pointed my toes and arched my back gracefully on the hands of Sebastian, my ballet partner as we danced together gracefully to the rhythm of the calm music playing in the dance studio. With beads of sweat covering my foreheads, I was goddamn tired. I couldn't even sleep well the entire night knowing that some ruthless crime boss out there would be coming for his money soon.With the now frequent letters we were recieving, I had a feeling he would be coming very soon.Toppled with my sleep being haunted by those mysterious pair of ocean blue eyes. "Ouch!" Sebastian immedately exclaimed as he let go off my body and twisted his toes.My face turned scarlet red immedately after I realised I must have stepped on his toes. He winced in pain and crunched his face."Crystal what's the problem?"The ballet instructor, Lola, asked as she came over to my side."I am so sorry Sebastian. It was a mistake"I apologised quickly. The soft music came to an abrupt end and Sebastian nodd
CRYSTAL Sis ever since you came back from the club last night you've been silent. Anything the matter?"Mabel asked, probing into the abyss of thoughts that I had fallen into. I quickly glanced at Mabel and blinked severally. I yawned a little and stretched my body lazily on the bed."I met him"was what I could only utter.Mabel's brows pulled together in a worried look. "Who?""The crime boss. The one whose money we have to pay back. He owns the club I work in"I confessed.Mabel didn't even try to hide her shocked expression. With jaws dropped and mouth agape, she stared at me doe-eyed."He--he made me dance naked for him"I whispered as my eyes began welling up with tears. "What the fuck!"she exclaimed angrily."Just because you work in his goddamn club, it doesn't give him that right to do such an absurd thing to you"I nodded my head at her. Mabel came over to my side and wiped the few traitorous tears that trickled down my cheeks. "Sis I love you for everything you've been do
CRYSTALI suddenly had the urge to throw up but I suppressed it and knocked again, this time louder."Come in" a familiar baritone voice responded from the other side. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. He was seated in that particular sofa he sat on yesterday with his blue orbs burying deep into my nervous self. I dragged my feet from the doorway and closed the door before coming closer to him."Sit down Crystal"He ordered with his hands motioning for me to take a sit next to him. Hesistantly, I followed his instruction and sat down by his side. It was just only two of us which made me feel so awkward. His gaze was entirely focused on me, not wavering for a second. "Why--why did you call me here?"I asked trembling. I feared the answer he would give me. I silently prayed it wasn't for me to dance again for him."Because I want to talk to you""Me?"I asked shocked.He nodded and smirked at me."I want to propose an offer to you"He said with a taunt smile on his lips.I
CRYSTAL I walked briskly towards my little apartment. I had talked to Bailey about my sudden urgent relocation to Toronto. She wailed loudly like a child. She didn't want me to go and I also didn't want to go but my hands were tied. She did inquire of the reason and I just cooked up a story that my sister got a job offer there. We had talked to Jane about it and fortunately she agreed to it. Bailey escorted me to the trainstation to buy two tickets and currently now I was heading back home after that tiresome activity. Our train was scheduled to leave by nine pm and it was seven pm. I just had an hour to prepare. I truly hoped Mabel would have finished packing by now so we could get the hell out of this city and away from the clutches of Leonardo. On getting to the door of my apartment, I found out it was unlocked. That was strange. Mabel never left the door unlocked. I pushed it open slightly and peered inside.My jaws dropped and my pupils dilated on entering inside. My once
CRYSTAL I slumped my back against the leather seat of the SUV, eyes narrowing through the tinted glass of the otherwise rather comfortable car. Leonardo sat by my side and I could feel his eyes burying themselves into me. He didn't even give me a chance to say farewell to my sister. What manner of cruelty is this?I focused my attention on the moving cars and people my eyes spotted as we drove on the busy road.How I wish I could be among those people walking freely outside. But I couldn't because this brute of a man had turned me into a mere commodity to use pay off a debt."Now you know the consequence of defying me don't you?"He suddenly probed, cutting into my thoughts. I hissed within me and chose not to reply him. He suddenly grabbed my chin, forecfully whapped my face to gaze at his cold dark ocean eyes, as dark as the midnight."When I talk you answer me!"He growled with a sneer."Why should I?"I scowled back, daring to raise my voice at the beast. "If you keep on di
