Mabel became agitated as she knew something serious must have happened for Christian to have brought her to his house. But what? The last thing she remembered was drinking in a bar and asking the bartender for more bottles of alcohol. She didn't remember anything else after that. Did she blurt something she wasn't supposed to say to him out while she was drunk? She asked herself and the possibility drove her crazy.If she failed the mission due to her carelessness, her father wouldn’t just only kill her grandparents but he would also kill her.Mabel sighed deeply and she ran her fingers through her hair roughly. There was only one person who could tell her what had happened to her last night and that was the same person who had brought her home.She went out of the bathroom and it took everything in her power not to fall as her legs felt like jelly. Upon entering back into the room, she saw a neatly folded pair of clothes and she noticed that the puke had been clean. Not wanting to
“Oh,” Mabel mumbled as she wasn’t too surprised. She didn’t need to think too hard about who was behind it as they were the reason why she had drank instead of going home. “You do not seem too surprised?” Christian pointed out."I am but I think I’m starting to get used to getting kidnapped,” Mabel said and there was silence after that. After a while, Mabel looked at him and then asked "But how did you find me?"“You called me moments before you were kidnapped and I tracked your phone,” Christian replied. “Any idea who is behind the kidnapping?”"I’m guessing Brooker?" Mabel stated. “Hmm,” Christian said, deciding not to push the matter any further. “My question to you is why you fucking decided to drink despite knowing that you almost died the last time you drank.”Mabel’s eyes widened in horror over Christian finding out what happened the last time she drank. “How do you know what happened the last time?” she asked.“You told me,” Christian answered.“What else did I tell you?” Ma
“Where is my mother?” Christian inquired. “In the dining room,” The head helper answered. “And my brother?”“He left before your mom arrived.”“You and the other helpers are dismissed and do not come here until I send you,” Christian instructed to which the head helper bowed and left to carry out his instruction. Without wasting time, he headed to the dining table not before sending a message to Aaron to keep an eye on Mabel. When he got there, he saw his mother seated at the head of the table, drinking a glass of juice. "Mom, why are you here?” Christian probed in a calm voice as he took his seat beside her. "I came to your house to see my son, especially after our little confrontation yesterday," Kate replied in the same calm voice as Christian .“And you’re still doing the same thing you did yesterday that got me mad. You sent her home didn’t you?” He inquired and he saw his mother scoff. “Since when do you have employees sleep in your house and in your shirt?” Kate asked a q
“Thank you,” she said excitedly as she collected the key from the man and rushed to open the door. Her relief knew no bounds when the door clicked and she opened it. “Thank you once again,” Mabel said to the man. Maybe the universe didn’t hate her that much. Before the man could say anything, Mabel noticed a car which she recognized as Christian’s car.As soon as the car stopped, Christian came out and his eyes landed on the man who had come looking for his helper. Mabel stared at the ground and fidgeted nervously. She couldn't tell what was going on in his mind as he had his normal expression on his face but she felt like he was mad. For some reason, she felt like she had been caught doing something bad even though she had done nothing wrong.Christian looked at the man and he squinted his eyes at the man. His first thought when he noticed the man was that he was a threat but seeing as Mabel didn’t rush to him as soon as he arrived made him realize that the man wasn’t.He however
The living condition of the place where she stayed was terrible. They didn’t consider Mabel their family but a pawn which they could use to do their bidding and they weren’t ever going to accept her. His mind went to what she had told him last night about why she was here as his assistant even though she didn’t want to do it. Christian at first, wondered who Anthony was threatening to kill considering the fact that she didn’t have any friends or family.This question bothered him until he remembered that Mabel stayed with her grandparents after her mother’s death until Anthony took her away. He immediately asked Aaron to look into them and it proved him right as well as answered a lot of questions. Even though Mabel’s maternal family were as rich as the Devilles, they were still better than the average family as her grandparents had a combined net worth of over three million dollars. It however was nothing compared to the Devilles who were worth hundreds of billions.They tried to
“I’ll cook something for myself,” Mabel quickly said and she got up and went to the kitchen which was like ten steps from where she had just been.Instead of Christian continuing his work, he got up and went to where Mabel was. She became nervous when she saw that Christian was watching her. Mabel cursed inwardly when she opened the kitchen cabinets and found nothing she could cook. The least they could have done was to stash her place up! She cried inwardly as she tried to figure out what to do.She had barely stayed in the house and when she did, she ordered food and so she didn’t realize that there was nothing there."Ahh" Mabel hissed in frustration when her headache returned. Why couldn’t her hangover just go away already?!“There’s nothing here to cook,” she scratched her head as she told Christian who shook his head. “Why is there nothing there?”“Because I can’t cook,” Mabel replied and this wasn’t entirely a lie but she wasn’t totally useless as she could still prepare simpl
Mabel paced around nervously as the doctor treated Christian. The doctor didn't seem too worried but then again, all doctors had to maintain a calm front so they would be able to treat their patients.Everything had been going well so what could have happened to Christian? Or did he have a condition just like her? That was the only answer her brain could provide for him being fine in one moment and losing consciousness in the next.“There's no need to worry anymore. He's out of danger. I have administered an injection, which should help with his breathing. All he needs is rest," The doctor said as he finally came out. Mabel heaved a sigh of relief and she finally relaxed. When the doctor came, she had suggested that they take him to the hospital, but the doctor after checking a few things, simply asked Rufus to assist him in getting Christian to her bed so he could treat him. Mabel wondered what happened to Christian but something told her that if she asked the doctor, he wouldn’t r
“That’s sweet, especially coming from the same person who drank alcohol despite knowing she wasn't supposed to drink it,” Christian rolled his eyes as he walked past her to pick up his phone which he had sighted.“I’m a nobody with no caring family but you’re not, don’t compare yourself to me, sir,” Mabel retorted. Her family wouldn’t care if she lived or died but the same wouldn’t apply to Christian who had a loving family. “Please, just go home and rest,” she pleaded with him, worry evident in her voice. "I'm fine, Pearson, it's honestly not a big deal," Christian stated nonchalantly as he started to go through the emails he had received while he was asleep. He had gone through the same ordeal countless times and so it was nothing new to him nor was it something he was worried about.He was visited by the memory of what had happened years ago and he tried to force himself to remember all the details. His brain couldn’t handle it and therefore forced his body to shut down, someti
