"Look who is here if not the pregnant wife of the young master of the Wilson family!" Cassandra spoke not hiding her contempt, she had followed Krystie to the backyard of the house.Krystie all the while was so silent, she didn't have the energy to argue with Cassandra. She also couldn't tell her that she was not pregnant at all, she didn't owe her any explanation for her life."Krystie you're really something else, I didn't know you were such a gold digger, trying by all means to remain in the Wilson family,eh? Rejected by the grandson so you decide to seduce the young master!" Cassandra continued irked when Krystie just ignored her."Oh, Cassandra, how kind of you to project your tactics onto me. But I suppose when one's methods fail, it's easy to assume others must resort to them too, but don't worry, I won't stoop as low as you babygirl,I know what am worth."Krystie retorted and left the girl fuming with anger.Lucian, who was at a distance clearly heard her response and mentally
"Big sister, are you going to leave me all alone and go live with your husband? Don't you love your little sister anymore?" Chloe whined hugging Krystie tightly as she lifted her face giving Krystie her signature puppy face that she always uses with Krystie anytime she wants something from her, she was not ready to let her go just yet. 'Don't use those eyes with me today baby girl, I assure you they won't work with me,' Krystie internally rolled her eyes hugging her back. Krystie was not a fool to not know what Chloe was up to. "Come on Chloe! It's not like am dying or something, you can always visit me anytime you feel like it, and I would also be coming over to check up on you over the weekends or anytime am free, nothing is going to change, you will always be my lovely little sister," Krystie spoke as she patted I her little sisters head comfortingly earning a sheepish smile from Chloe in return. Krystie was finally moving in to live with her husband Lucian, the two had just agr
Everything had been going on very well for Krystie and Lucian, everyone minding their own business.Most of the days Lucian didn't come back home. Krystie too was held with several shifts at the hospital, and she had been home not more than ten times. In a whole full month of marriage, the couple had only seen each other thrice, if not twice.Everyone was busy with their stuff. Krystie had followed Lucian's rules very well, she had stopped herself from thinking of him as anything more than she ought to, and with her busy schedule, she had done it perfectly.Krystie could remember the very first day Lucian had taken her to his house. 'Just pick any room on the first floor, you can even use all of them, but I should warn you, never go to the second floor, more so the black painted door, it is forbidden!" Lucian emphasized to her the last part, and that was the last conversation the two had shared. Deep within Krystie was so curious to find out what it was that Lucian hid on the second
Ronnie was super excited that he would get time to go out, Lucian had just informed him that he would be going abroad for two weeks, and with the devil gone, it meant that he had all the freedom to do everything that he wished to.A/N: That is how he had thought.Without wasting time, Ronnie immediately called Cinty, the girl he had met at the bar two weeks ago. He had promised to call her so that they could hang out and have fun but all the while he had been busy that he hadn't gotten time to. Ronnie was so sure that Krystie would not be back for the day because, for the full week, she had not been home, so taking that as a go on, he immediately requested her to come over.After a few drinks, the two had started making out on the sofa, and it was just at the time when Krystie had opened the door finding them in action.At first, Krystie was shocked, but she had quickly composed herself, and because none of them had seen her, an evil smirk formed at the corners of her mouth, she took
On the outskirts of the town, a secluded abandoned warehouse stood. The insects created a symphony of sounds, filling the darkness with their unique calls and chirps. The chirping of crickets adds to the strangeness of the area.The weathered exterior of the warehouse marked by the ravages of time, conceals a clandestine underworld thriving within its walls. Behind the facade of neglect and abandonment, secretive meetings unfold within dimly lit chambers, where whispered conversations echo off the cold, concrete walls. The scent of cigar smoke hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the tension that permeates the space.Despite its outward appearance of abandonment, the warehouse pulses with life after nightfall, as the underworld conducts its shadowy affairs under the cloak of darkness. To those who know its true purpose, it is a symbol of power and control, a stronghold of the criminal underworld that lurks just beyond the city's edge, hidden from the public. In the dark shadows of
Ronnie hurried down the corridor, the weight of the report in his hands matching the gravity of its contents. As he reached Lucian's office, he took a moment to compose himself, ensuring every detail in the report was in order.With a deep breath, Ronnie knocked on the door, the sound echoing in the quiet hallway. "Come in," Lucian's voice called from inside.Entering the office, Ronnie found Lucian seated behind his desk, his expression a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. Without a word, Ronnie handed over the report, watching as Lucian's eyes scanned the pages, absorbing the information within.Krystie is the same girl that I have been searching for?" Lucian asked no one in particular, the question was more addressed to himself than Ronnie.Ronnie nodded, feeling a swell of satisfaction at having played his part before exiting the room, the report came as a shock to him too when he found out. "What a small world this is, I am very happy that I have finally found you! You wer
Gala night preparation,Lucian glanced at Krystie with a smile as he held the car door for her. They had just reached the Hilton hotel, the very same hotel that hold memories of their first night together."Krystie, can you do me a favor, there is a gala night event and I would like you to accompany me?" Lucian had requested his eyes sparkling with anticipation. Krystie had nodded, her cheeks flushed, no matter how much she could have wished to reject him, she could not bring herself to do so, he had been so good to her, and the main reason was she was legally his wife. Lucian smiled as he led her into the restaurant, he was feeling a surge of affection for the woman by his side. He had orchestrated this lunch date to perfection, knowing Krystie deserved nothing but the best. One thing that always brings joy to Lucian's life is watching Krystie's eyes sparkle when she sees food.For the previous full week, Krystie had been so busy with her work that she had barely gone home. Seeing h
The gala night.Curiosity flickered across Krystie's face as Ronnie drove along the city to a beauty parlor. "We are here," Ronnie spoke as he parked the car."Come, let us do a little makeover," Lucian spoke holding out his hand for Krystie. Krystie hesitated, unsure of what to expect, but Lucian's reassuring smile eased her nerves. She nodded, allowing herself to be guided towards a plush leather chair.The manager welcomed them in and led her to the VIP section. As the stylist began to work their magic on her, Krystie relaxed into the chair, letting the stress of the day melt away. She closed her eyes as skilled hands massaged her scalp, washing away the worries that had been plaguing her mind.Lucian would at times steal glances at her as he watched in admiration as Krystie underwent her transformation.Krystie had her eyes closed all the while, and finally, when the stylist stepped back from her once they were done, Krystie blinked in the mirror, hardly recognizing the glamoro
