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
After arguing back and forth with Mabel, Christian somehow found himself in front of his laptop watching a movie as Mabel didn’t have a TV. How she managed to convince him, he had no idea.However, he refused to have Mabel completely have her way as he forced her to join him in watching the movie and he made sure he chose the movie they were watching. Wanting to get revenge on her, he searched online and chose a horror movie that would be sure to make sure Mabel never tried to make him relax.They were currently on her bed and he turned to look at Mabel who was sitting beside him. She was covered in a blanket and she would peep occasionally to look at the screen and would go back to hiding under it after a few seconds whenever a terrifying scene came up. An evil smile appeared on Christian’s face as his plan went well. The smile would grow wider when she would scream loudly due to fear and quickly hide under her blanket and would peep after the horror scene was over."Why are you st
“What’s wrong, sir?” Mabel, who was beside him, asked when she saw a change in Christian’s expression. He had been fine just a few minutes ago and now, he had a frown on his face after receiving the call. “Work, nothing I can’t handle,” Christian lied, and he schooled his expression back to normal. “Now, let’s get back to the fact that you were a scared cat,” he smirked, hoping she didn’t really think he would let go of his chance to mock her."Hey, it's not funny," Mabel scolded Christian, frowning at him for making fun of her while her face became red with embarrassment. However, Mabel's comment just made Christian laugh even harder."Ahh," Christian imitated Mabel's expressions whenever the terrifying scenes came up, and he watched her turn into the same colour as a tomato as she was unable to retort.‘You’re the worst,’ Mabel muttered under her breath but Christian heard her.Silence ensued after that, but it wasn’t uncomfortable, as both of them were comfortable with the other’s
Christian turned his head towards Mabel who was sleeping peacefully on his chest with no care in the world. She was really brave to do so when he was a devil who could easily burn her. She was unable to speak clearly after revealing what condition she had. He guessed that whatever she wanted to tell him had something to do with her family but she hadn't yet gathered the courage to do so.Before he knew it, when he bent his head to check her after minutes of silence, he saw that she was asleep and before he could react she snuggled closer to him and held him so tight, it was like she thought he would run away from her.Her answer to his question the previous night plagued Christian’s mind. Mabel’s grandparents’ lives were at stake and yet, she was not going to carry out her father's orders. He looked down at her and he gently stroked her face. ‘You make it hard for me to destroy you,’ he whispered to the sleeping Mabel.How was he supposed to destroy a woman who was ready to be destr
Even though the weather was cold, Mabel felt hot because of the current position she was in. Was Christian really trying to make her fall more for him? If that was his goal, then he was succeeding as she felt her heart pounding in her chest and her cheeks turned red as various erotic images came to her head. Mabel wanted to get out of her bed and at the same time, she wanted to remain in her position. She was sleeping in Christian's arms and she was unable to believe it. Her mind was going crazy with different wild thoughts and they did nothing to help her throbbing core. She pinned underneath him, scratching his back as he pounded mercilessly into her tight cunt. She blushed furiously at her brazen thoughts. She had been starved of sex for too long and that was the only reason why she was imagining such. “Stop moving and go to sleep, Pearson,” she heard Christian mumble sheepishly to her. That was what she was trying to do but how was she supposed to do so when all she could thi
