FESTERING HEART CHAPTER 32: CRYSTAL'S RESOLVE
CRYSTAL"She's been too stressed lately. You have to make sure she rests properly. Also, I will prescribe some medication for her." I heard the doctor say to Xavier, who nodded calmly. He seemed really attentive. "Okay. I will take my leave." The doctor concluded and left. Xavier followed him out. Left alone in the room, I supported myself up the bed and sat down. It wasn't a dream. Xavier was worried about me earlier. He had panicked, and I heard him begging me to stay. My heart ached. Was he that traumatized?I'd always known that Madam Frost's death affected him, but I had no idea it also tampered with his mental health. I could remember the fear I saw in his eyes when our eyes met. Even when he was conversing with the doctor, he wouldn't stop rubbing his hands together. A habit he rarely showed except when lost. He must have been really scared when he saw me in the bathroom alone. He must have thought I was dead. My eyes drooped, and I sucked in a deep breath. What was
FESTERING HEART CHAPTER 31: FEAR
XAVIER'S POV I carried the sleeping Crystal toward the bathroom and gently placed her in the bathtub. She stirred when her skin touched the warm water, but it was only for a moment. She soon dozed off again. She was obviously exhausted. It was her first time, anyway...My heart fluttered. It was also mine. Crystal was my first. The first woman I would ever have thought about. Honestly, I had no idea what came upon me earlier, but seeing Crystal in the same elevator... an enclosed place, made my heart waver, and the thing underneath my boxer bulged. Erotic scenes filled my mind, and before I could suppress them, my legs moved first. I captured Crystal in a kiss I didn't plan. But that only escalated the imagination...When we got to the room, I realized I was no longer in control of my thoughts. I tried to stop and use toys as usual, but the mere thought of using a toy on her disgusted me to the core, and before I knew it, I found myself pouncing on her. I couldn't believe I
FESTERING HEART CHAPTER 30: INTENT
CRYSTAL'S POV I took the tray from her and placed it on the bed. "Thank you," I muttered nonchalantly. She said nothing and stood at the side. I could feel her gaze on me even as I opened the food she brought and poured the drink. What was she doing?I raised a brow in confusion. "Won't you leave?" We weren't close, so I had no reason to be polite to her. Tyra's face turned awkward, and she looked away. "Young Master asked me to wait on you. I'm to pack the plate when you're done." She explained. My fingers trembled, and my eyes widened. Was Xavier trying to kill me?My temple pulsed as I lowered my eyes to the food again. It was porridge... probably prepared to nourish my essence after what we did earlier. But why did he make Tyra stay with me?Was he planning to make me feel special, tell the maids that my status had changed in the house, or did he plan to poison me to death to finally avenge Madam Frost's death? I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. If he wanted me de
FESTERING HEART CHAPTER 29: CALL MY NAME
CRYSTAL'S POV Xavier pinned my hands in bed and thrust into me. I gasped. Eyes watered. "Xav... Xavier." I called breathlessly. He pressed a kiss on my lips and grunted. "Painful?" His eyes flickered with concern. I shook my head. I could feel sweat forming on my forehead. "It's not. You can move." I replied breathlessly. Xavier was acting strangely. Not only was he not cold today, but he also pressed me down and did it without the use of sex toys. It was weird, however, way better than before. I wouldn't want to ever experience sex toys again. It was painful and humiliating. "Hm!" I moaned sharply. Xavier's hand trailed down and grabbed my breasts. His movement steadied and slowly increased. "No more pain, right?" He asked. I nodded. "Why?" I asked. Why? What changed? Why was he acting so nice?Xavier froze. His eyes glinted, and he looked away. "We are getting married tomorrow. Isn't this only right?" He strained. That wasn't right. Xavier wouldn't touch me just becau
FESTERING HEART CHAPTER 28: LONELY
CRYSTAL'S POV My thoughts swirled.A moment earlier, I had made up my mind to ignore Xavier and stay away from him. I'd even asked Lyn if she could take me back which she readily agreed to. However, the next moment, I was in Xavier's car, preparing to return to his home with him and with the intention of becoming his wife the next day. It was sudden. But I knew even if time returned, I'd still make the same decision over again. Not for love, but for sacrifice and for gratitude. Madam Frost had done so much for me when she was alive. Xavier was alone now, and though he hated me, I somehow could understand him, too. My heart wouldn't stop aching for him if I had to leave him alone. He would be too lonely. He was only 20 after all and he had no one else in this world except me. So, even though I knew I was meant to regret this choice for the rest of my life, I knew it was the price I had to pay for the good things I had taken from Madam Frost when she was alive. I hope wherever sh
FESTERING HEART CHAPTER 27: SHE ACCEPTS
XAVIER'S POV I calmly watched as Crystal's expression changed endlessly. She seemed to be in shock, but honestly, even I wasn't any different. I kept my face still. Inside, my mind was a riot. The proposal wasn't intended...I had only been confused for a moment, trying to think of a way to take Crystal back home. She was my property. She became mine the moment I saw the diary, and only I had the right to decide her fate. But Lyn was an obstacle. Considering the report I got about their relationship on the way to this place, I realized Lyn was a sister figure to Crystal, and with her around, things might not be as easy as it was supposed to be. My mother wanted me to take care of Crystal, which I would definitely do... but in my own way. I wouldn't let Lyn get in the way. I wouldn't let Lyn take Crystal away from me. However, marrying her was out of it. Tying my entire life to someone like Crystal wasn't part of my plan, but it was already too late. The word was out, and ther
