The car had been oddly quietly, Kayden had been driving for more than fifteen minutes to God knows where, he didn’t turn on their radio as well and Crystal forced herself to stay awake. Crystal glanced at him, from the sides of her eyes, she didn’t want to make it obvious she was staring at him. She watched him control the steering wheel professionally, the features of his face were relaxed, it was as though he wasn’t capable of any harm. She cleared her throat, deeply disturbed by the awkward quietness; Kayden hasn’t spoken a word to her since the wedding. “Hey,” Her voice came out nasal; she cleared her throat again and then glanced at him. “Do you mind telling me where we are going? You’ve been driving for quite a while now?”She blinked once, twice, three times... she realized he didn’t answer her, he didn’t even react, and it was as though she hadn’t said anything in the first place. “You’re not going to answer me, are you?” Silence again and she groaned inwardly in
“So, you were really talking to Cassandra.” He confirmed, glaring down at her. “Why don't we just mind each other's business?” she tried to reach for the phone but he threw it backwards; her eyes followed the phone to see that it landed on the bed, he turned his head back to her. “I forbid you to talk to her ever again, you wouldn't even meet her as from today.” he ordered firmly. “These are one of the few rules, which I came up with.”“She is my sister! You’re not in any position to forbid me or anything.” she yelled, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets as she goggled at him. “She is a gold digger, a fraud.” he paused and continued in a more serious tone. “I don't want her anywhere near you.”“Why not?” she pressed “I don't want her getting ideas into your head.” She scoffed trying to push him off. “Is that the reason you told her not to attend the wedding? Are you some kind of a sick bastard? her plagued blue eyes were narrowed at him. “I wonder if it’s common etiquet
Crystal had her hair done right after she was scrubbed clean by those people Kayden called in; she had never been forced to have a bath in her life especially by women in her peer. Once you are married to a multi-billionaire, your life isn't yours anymore; she cringed when someone scrubbed some pale white liquid along her back. She was dressed in a green floral gown that made it just a little above her knees, the design is very simple. It had a bow just at the waist to fasten it and a button at her left breast. It looked, felt and smelled expensive, it felt illegal to wear something like this; but since she is Kayden’s wife this are the benefits she enjoyed.She was enjoying the benefit at what cost? They selected silver heels to match the earrings and necklace she was putting on, and they added more curls to her golden hair. She was gingerly led out of the room, and led out to the hall. Kayden was there, dressed in a Tuxedo, and was it necessary to make all this fuss
Crystal’s eyes narrowed at him curiously, finding his comment suspicious. “What does that mean?” she asked and he closed the distance between them, both of his hands in his pocket as he stared down at her. Something about how tall he is, threatened her.“Right? I remember that you didn’t even read the contract you didn’t get to the part where it says, I could change the content of the contract as I see fit.” Her eyes widened in realization, she didn’t read it because she didn’t understand it and yet she stupidly signed it. “You tricked me?” she asked and he shook his head slowly. “It’s pointless tricking someone who is so stupid.” He confirmed with a sadistic smirk on his face. “I didn’t know you will foolishly believe everything I tell you, it’s so hilarious.” He lets out a mocking laugh. She sniffed as she moved away from him; her lips quivering from the realization.Just what on earth did she sign? She should have requested for a lawyer, she should have asked him to g
Kayden had no choice but to drive them to his house, whatever impression he was trying to make on the media would have worked and he was already tired of pretending. Crystal was bleeding and she didn’t let anyone touch her wounds not even him; and he can’t have her passing out due to blood loss. She had this stubborn streak he found provocative, not many girls are like her especially when they are with a man like him. Most girls would just dance to his tunes and live their lives exactly like he wanted, he had the money and they would be benefitting from his power but what was this woman’s deal? Why is she trying so hard to be different? There was just one explanation; she was acting, sooner or later she would start to reveal her true colors and her greed because in the end she is just like her sister, a hungry gold digger. Crystal’s eyes were glued outside the window of the car, not uttering a word throughout the drive; she was lost deep in thought and the further they go th
“What is going on here?” Kayden bellowed from behind, he was already at the entrance of the bathroom and his eyes were consumed not by worry but by a certain irritation. He was slightly surprised at the state he met Crystal, but aside from the fact that she was laying on the floor there seemed to be no other cause for emergency. “Mr. Smith!”She acknowledged him, and in an instant she ran behind him, she whimpered slightly. “I-I saw it, it’s big and hairy!” she reported clinging unto his shirt as she hid behind him, she was pointing towards the ceramic sink, his silvered eyes perused the sink but they couldn’t find anything unusual.“There is nothing there,” He scolded as he pushed her away from him. “What trouble are you trying to stir?” he turned towards her and her expressions drops; she had totally forgotten what kind of man Kayden is. “I’m not trying to stir up any trouble, there was a spider there.” She defended immediately. “So, what if there is a spider?” He inquired h
Crystal woke up early this morning, their week long honeymoon ended last night. She would have preferred if the honeymoon never happened, but Kayden had insisted on spending the week together to make their story seem believable. She didn’t have a phone, she couldn’t communicate with Paige or her sister, and there was absolutely nothing to do. She was bored out of her mind and even though she had taken a month long leave from work, she can’t help but want to go outside; if she spends one more day within these walls without conversing with reasonable people, she would lose her mind. She got dress in sky blue jeans pants that hugged her legs elegantly, and she picked a plain red shirt that was contrasting with her other clothing. It didn’t matter, she wasn’t in the mood, and she didn’t have the luxury of time. While she was dressing she heard a small but sharp knock that came from the door, and she could bet her left eye, that the person knocking isn’t Kayden. For the f
“Crystal,” Paige cried out in surprise, immediately she spotted her best friend lifelessly ambled into the office, and she ran towards her. “What happened to you? I’ve been worried sick, I tried to call you but I couldn’t reach you—“ she stopped abruptly, her eyes narrowed as she inspects Crystal’s pale face, she noticed her eyes were swollen. “Hey, are you sick?” Her hands cupped Crystal’s face. “I’m fine, Paige.” She muttered. “I’m just a little tired.” “But you look so bad,” she said as she pulled Crystal into a hug and patted her back.“Is it Kayden?”Crystal paused slightly, she couldn’t deny it anymore, she sobbed loudly, and Paige just hugged her while she cried. “You wouldn’t tell me what happened?” Paige asked as Crystal blew her nose into the tissue, and as soon as she was done, she tosses it into the bin. “It’s not worth it Paige, just keep it in mind, Kayden Smith is an asshole.” She reported with a grim expression. “You should stop admiring him!” “I’ve stopped admirin
