Because you loved me 25. Evidence!
"Chloe, are you sure about this? It is already very late, and am afraid if Krystie were to find this out she would kill me," Raymond, Chloe's colleague and also one of Krystie's friends whispered."Krystie is at home for a one-week leave, she will never find out!You will not tell her, and I will never tell her too, so no way she will know any of this unless you are planning to...""No! No way!" Raymond spoke hurriedly, he was never going to risk his life that way but seeing the smirk on her lips he knew immediately that he had been played.Raymond, Chloe, and Krystie had attended the same school from kindergarten, and Raymond had always noticed how protective of her younger sister Krystie had been that he had always been afraid to mess up with Chloe, it was something else to deal with Krystie Jackson! Chloe’s heart raced as she adjusted the wig on her head, ensuring it covered every strand of her blonde hair. Even though she was pretending to not show on the surface how scared she w

"Krystie, now that you already know the truth about Cassandra's act during the gala night, aren't you going to do a thing, or do you want me to do it for you? Lucian asked when he could no longer contain it.It was already a week ever since Krystie had dealt with that girl, Lucian didn't know what exactly she did to her because Ronnie had reported to him that the girl had gone completely crazy. It was not his concern, as long as Krystie was happy with it."You don't have to worry about that, I got a surprise for her, it's just a matter of time before she gets to enjoy it," Krystie spoke with her usual straight expression face and Lucian could swear that he had seen a mischievous glint only that when he blinked to confirm it was already gone, so he was not sure whether he had seen it right. "In the meantime just take care of yourself, I will be back in a week, don't miss me too much!" Lucian spoke with a smirk before he kissed her on the cheeks.He was so used to being with her that he

Krystie's heart started beating rapidly, she had never been to the second floor, and sure enough, she was tempted to find out what it was that Lucian didn't want her to see.Krystie decided to check it out, she wanted to confirm whether what she had read was the truth or not, she took the stairs, with every step her heart pounding very first against her chest, she was at a crossroads, on one side she wanted to respect Lucian's privacy but on the other side she was so curious that she could not hold it in. Sure enough, when Krystie reached the second floor, the first thing that came to her site was a door, painted all black, unlike the rest of the doors in the house that were painted brown.Krystie's heart couldn't stop beating, she could feel it pounding against her chest, she was nervous and scared at the same time. She was scared to find the truth, unlike how she had thought it, she found her legs going numb that she could not even take a step forward.Krystie dragged herself to the

"Ronnie, book the next earliest flight possible, as for the celebration party I won't be attending, I want to go home immediately, send apologies on my behalf, inform them I have an emergency to attend to!"Lucian spoke as he freshened up.This came as a shock to Ronnie, but he had no courage to oppose."Why is he acting so strange? Or is he really in love!" Ronnie thought as he walked out of the room to attend to the assigned task.Normally in the business world, whoever gets a business deal has to organize a party to interact with the investors, yet here the host was already excusing himself from attending.'Finally am coming home to you my dear,' Lucian murmured, whistling a tune only he knew.He was supposed to go back home in two days but with the way he was missing his wife, there was no way he could take another single day without seeing her.~~~~~~~~~~~~Krystie had tried to contain herself for three days, but when she woke up she could no longer hold her curiosity anymore, and

It was already a week ever since Krystie got injured, and all this while there was never a day that Lucian had had her move around the house he had transferred his office to home, and most of the time he was working from home, conducting virtual meetings with the business partners. Krystie didn't see the need for all this, because he was only forming a mountain from an anthill, but on the other side she was touched because all her life there was nobody who had ever done so much for her, she was so used to doing things all by herself. "Krystie don't move, I already warned you that in case you need anything all you got to do is call out to me," Lucian warned as he rose from his seat running towards her, leaving his employees stunned, it was shocking for the boss to leave such an important meeting midway just to attend to a woman, everyone in the office knew how much the boss hate the ladies being around him that even he had employed only males to take up the position of the secretarie

Trapped in the elevator Lucian was whistling, humming to a certain tune as he walked around the kitchen, he was so happy, preparing a meal for his wife before she came back when his phone finger with a notification, at first he was so determined to ignore it but when several more dinged he decided to check it. "What the hell is this!" Lucian was surprised by the content of the message, it came from an unknown number, and it sounded suspicious to him because not many people knew his number unless it was someone who knew him very well.When Lucian saw the content of the message on the screen, he could feel his heart shattering into pieces. "I thought you had moved on from that douchebag, but why in the hell would you still kiss him?" Lucian thought to himself as he threw the pans around the kitchen before sitting on the stool, his mind racing in turmoil. Giving it a thought, Lucian felt something was not right somewhere, why would someone send him the picture of Krystie and Alex, no

In the opulent VIP ward where Krystie lay in a coma, every detail exuded luxury. As she rested on the plush bedding, surrounded by the gentle glow of ambient lighting, the room radiated sophistication.Fancy high-end machines, hummed softly as they diligently monitored Krystie's vital signs and administered precise treatments through multiple tubes connected to support her recovery. Each piece of equipment, meticulously selected for its advanced capabilities, stood as a testament Despite the high-tech marvels that filled the space, a sense of tranquility prevailed, fostered by the attentive presence of the dedicated medical staff. Their expertise and compassion shone through as they tended to Krystie's every need with precision and care, ensuring that even in her unconscious state, she was enveloped in a cocoon of comfort and support.It was already one week yet Krystie hadn't woken up, Lucian sat by her side, watching her, he was blaming himself for the condition she was in.Krystie

Krystie sat on the couch, clutching her abdomen as waves of pain radiated through her body. It was that time of the month again, and her cramps were making her feel miserable. She was shocked when she had just realized that she didn't have any sanitary towels with her.Going to the store was out of an option for her, so instead she reached for her phone and texted Lucian as she didn't have any other person she could turn to, Chloe was out of the city while Mark was on duty for the day.Krystie decided to try her luck with her husband instead, she knew maybe he was busy but she just wanted to try."Hey, could you please run to the store and grab some sanitary for me? I ran out of them," she typed, wincing as another cramp hit her.I hope he is not busy with his work, Krystie thought as she lay on the sofa clutching her stomach hoping for the pain to recede.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lucian glanced at his phone as it buzzed with a message while he was holding an employee meeting.

Krystie sat on a thick blanket spread out on the floor, cradling a sleepy-eyed baby boy in her arms while his twin sister giggled as Lucian lifted her high into the air, spinning her gently. "Easy, Lucian," Krystie laughed, brushing her son's dark curls from his forehead. "She’s going to think she's a plane." "She’s my little plane," Lucian said proudly, kissing the baby's chubby cheek as she squealed with delight. "A future heartbreaker like her mom." Krystie rolled her eyes but couldn’t stop the smile tugging at her lips. Their twins, Liam and Liana, were now six months old. Everything had changed since that magical wedding night. Regal Hospital, under Krystie's leadership, had become one of the most respected medical centres in the country. Krystie had restructured the staff, introduced groundbreaking programs for patient care, and expanded services to help the underserved. Her days were busy, filled with patients, administrative meetings, and, more often than not, chasing a

The iron gates of the prison stood still under the grey morning sky. Rain drizzles fell as a man dressed in all black stood at the gate. One last glance at the prison before he left. Not long after, sombre news had already spread like wildfire through the city: Xavier West was found dead in his cell at dawn.The report listed it as a suicide.There was no note, only the silence of a man who had once tried to control too much and lost everything. The guards said he hadn’t spoken for days. He’d sat in the corner, staring at the cracks in the wall, as if waiting for something that never came.Two days later, a small and discreet burial was held at a secluded cemetery. There were no headlines or reporters. Just a closed casket, a simple grave, and a few scattered mourners who had once called him family.Mark took one last glance at the casket at turned around, tears at the corners of his eyes. Despite everything his father had done, he couldn't deny that watching him lay in that casket st

Krystie smiled up at Lucian. As the slow notes of Perfect by Ed Sheeran ft Beyonce filled the garden, Lucian gently pulled her into his arms. They swayed together, the world around them fading away. His forehead pressed against hers as they danced. Mark and Chloe joined them on the dance floor, laughing when Mark twirled her clumsily but caught her just before she stumbled. Around them, their friends watched with shining eyes. When the song ended, Joel took the microphone, clearing his throat dramatically. "Alright, alright!" he called. "Before we dive into the cake and the rest of the night, we have something to announce" Lucian stepped forward, reaching into his pocket for a small velvet box. He smiled at Krystie, a radiant smile reserved only for her. "I wanted to start our new life together by giving you something," he said, voice carrying through the garden. "Something that represents your strength, your compassion, your unwavering belief in doing what's right." Krystie f

The air in the small living room buzzed with excitement. Krystie, Lucian, Mark, and Chloe sat around the coffee table, papers, flowers, and swatches of fabric spread out chaotically before them. "I still can't believe we're planning this in a few hours," Chloe giggled nervously, twirling a pen between her fingers. "Are we really doing this?" Mark caught her hand and squeezed it. "We are, honey. I don't want to waste any more time." Lucian nodded in agreement, his gaze tender as it fell on Krystie. "Neither do I. After everything we've been through, it's time for a new beginning. A real one." Krystie's heart swelled with emotions. It felt almost surreal, planning a wedding in one day but she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Her parents would have wanted her to live fully, to find happiness even after the darkness. The girls and boys quickly divided up the tasks. Chloe and Krystie called a few close friends to help with the arrangements, while Lucian and Mark secured the

Krystie stiffened slightly in Lucian’s arms, lifting her head to meet his eyes."You said I gave you purpose," she whispered, her voice raw from crying. "What do you mean by that?"Lucian gazed down at her, his thumb gently brushing away the tear tracks on her cheek. His lips curved into a bittersweet smile as memories of seven years ago flooded his mind."I never told you before," he murmured. "But I think I owe you now."Krystie blinked in confusion. "Lucian…?"He led her by the hand to the couch and sat down, pulling her down beside him. His hand never left hers."Seven years ago," he began softly, "I was at the hospital. I had just lost my brother, Damien. He was my guardian after our parents died. He was everything to me."His voice grew tight with emotion, and Krystie squeezed his hand encouragingly."I sat outside the operation room for hours, refusing to leave. When they finally told me he didn’t make it, I couldn’t breathe. I just sat there, in the cold hallway, crying like a

Mark stood in front of Chloe’s apartment door, his knuckles white from clenching his fists. He hesitated for a second before knocking. Chloe opened the door, surprised to see him, but the look on his face made her step aside without question. "Mark?" He stepped inside, but he couldn’t look at her. His voice broke almost immediately. "I accompanied Krystie to see my father." Chloe’s eyes widened slightly, but she waited. Mark exhaled a shaky breath and finally looked at her, eyes red. "He admitted everything, Chloe. He killed them. Your parents just because he was bitter and envious." His voice cracked. "And I’m his son. I carry his blood, he stammered. I... I wouldn’t blame you if you hated me. If you never forgave me. I wouldn't forgive me either." Before another word could leave his lips, Chloe pulled him into a hug. He was stiff at first, then broke down, crying into her shoulder. "I’m so sorry…" he whispered, his voice raw.Chloe gently patted his back, her voice soft. "You

The heavy steel doors of the Blackthorn Federal prison clanked open as Krystie and Mark stepped inside. The long corridor echoed with the distant occasional shout from inmates. Guards led them in silence toward the visitation room. Neither Krystie nor Mark spoke. They all had lots of unanswered questions they desired answers to. It had been a month since the judgement, but Krystie had one more thing she desired to know. They were shown to a cold metal table. A few seconds later, Mr. Xavier was escorted in, clad in his prison uniform, hands cuffed, his once well-groomed face now unkempt beard and hollow eyes. But his smirk remained. "Well, well," he drawled, taking his seat and leaning back as far as the restraints would allow as if he were still the one in control. "See who finally decided to visit me if not my dear son and goddaughter. I was wondering how long it would take for the prodigies to come visit me. Have you come to gloat?" Krystie didn’t waste time. She straightened a

The courtroom buzzed as Xavier West was escorted inside, clad in an orange prison uniform that couldn’t quite mask the pride still etched in his posture. His expression remained composed, almost arrogant. His attorney, Mr. Clarke, adjusted his tie and leaned over. "Relax. We’ve got the best money we can buy. The judges are in our pocket. There’s no hard evidence they can use. We’ll have this thrown out in a week." Xavier didn’t respond, only stared at the room with cool detachment. Journalists filled the benches, their cameras flashing and pens ready. The public gallery overflowed with curious onlookers, family members of victims, and a few hospital staff. Xavier’s smirk returned when he saw the judges entering, three men he knew well, the judges from his case seven years ago. The lead judge struck the gavel, and announced, "Court is now in session. Case number 2328: The People vs. Xavier West." The prosecution began with an impassioned speech, laying out the charges including hu
Because you loved me Chapter 73.
At the boardroom on the top floor of Regal Hospital, sunlight filtered through the tall windows, where Mr. Xavier West sat at the head of the polished table, flanked by board members and stakeholders. All were dressed in fine suits, sipping imported coffee as they discussed the hospital’s future, oblivious to the storm that was about to hit.Xavier wore his usual calm mask, a faint smile plastered on his face as he nodded at a proposal from the finance director. "If we accelerate the expansion plans for our offshore branches, we can double our quarterly revenue," he said smoothly, exuding confidence and control.The silence shattered when the heavy double doors burst open without warning. Ben, Mr Xavier's personal assistant, stood there panting, sweat trickling on his forehead, his tie crooked as if he'd run all the way."Ben," Xavier barked, his eyes narrowing. "What the hell do you think you’re doing? You don’t barge in here when I’m in a meeting, especially not with the board!"Be
