I thought I was snowflake.”Logan’s glare intensified, “That still doesn’t answer my question.”Crystal rolled her eyes and turned to Isabella, “So I guess I was wrong and you are innocent,” she spat."Wrong or not, it doesn't change the fact that I had nothing to do with whatever mess you've found yourself in," Isabella finally spoke, her voice calm but tinged with an undercurrent of irritation.Crystal's frustration flared, her eyes narrowing as she retorted, “Logan might have gotten you out but I know what I saw and I have evidence. There are also witnesses that saw you enter Ryke’s mansion.”Isabella chuckled darkly, a bitter edge to the sound. "Evidence can be deceiving, and witnesses can be manipulated. You should know that, Crystal."Crystal shook her head in disbelief. "I trusted you, Isabella

A silent indication that she could leave."Kimberly", he called out.She paused but didn't turn."I will be going to look at the place myself".Ryke couldn't recall why he bought the land particularly.

There were very few things that irritated Ryke. People that talked to loud, Women that didn't understand the difference between a one time fuck and a relationship, People that wasted his time, Prolonged conversations but most of all, it was not getting what he wanted. He stared out his window with a frown on his face. To say the meeting with Jacob Morgan had left him irritated would be an understatement. "Mr. Sterling. It's finally nice to meet the genius behind Sterlings, Jacob said as he extended his hand for a handshake. Jacob Morgan carried himself like he had seen it all. Considering that he was a man in his late seventies, he would be deserving of that right. Peppered gray hair and beards with hazel eyes that looked kind when he smiled. "Mr Morgan. The honor is mine", he took his hands. " Why don't we get down to business. I went through the documents personally. Only the best for a company as good as Sterlings and I have to say I was very impressed. Well I hadn't expect

The bright light hit her eyes as she opened them, almost blinding her. She looked around trying to decipher where she was. She couldn’t quite explain it but she felt a sense of warmth surrounding her, like everything was right in the world.“Why are you standing all alone my little swan?”.Crystal’s head whipped around so fast that it could have snapped off. Her mother stood in front of her with a beautiful smile and her eyes sparkling with mischief.“Mum”.Crystal’s legs moved before her brain could catch up and she was throwing herself into her mother’s open arms.“Mum”, she said again crying into her mother’s chest.She finally recovered herself, “How are you here?. Am I dead?. Where’s Dad?. What is this place?”.Jessica laughed softly, the sound floating into the air, “You don’t have to worry my little swan. Everything will be fine. Come I want to show you something”.Her mother led her through a passage. They walked for a while, coming to a stop eventually.Crystal gasped. The

Crystal lay on the bed facing the ceiling.“If you think dying is your way out this contract then you’d have to think again”.She didn’t need to turn to know who it was. She had been having recurring dreams with the owner of the voice starring in most of them.“If you’ve come to irritate me, then you can save it for later. After all, we have the rest of our lives to spend together”.Ryke smiled, he realized he had been doing a lot of that lately. That mouth of hers. He couldn’t wait to discover what else they did apart from spit fire."It's funny how easily your brother signed you off. One might think he was eager to get rid of you", Ryke said, trying to rile her up more.It worked.Crystal glared at him, "Don't talk about my brother. You know nothing of our relationship".Ryke sighed, "You are acting like a petulant child. I know you are only eighteen but you mustn't act like it"."Since I'm such a child, why did you force me into a marriage and what are you even here?""Stop raising
