One Obsession --Two Redemption CHAPTER 133
CRYSTAL I raised my head to look at the person who saved me after it seemed the reporter had left. My brow knitted together, “Jack? How come you are here?” I asked, frowning slightly.“I came here to assist you in case you have cold feet in front of the board of directors,” he muttered, his chest raised and fell as our gaze locked.His gaze flickered slightly, dropping to my lips while our legs cramped against each other in the small space.I looked away, breaking eye contact with him, “Huh…I think he's gone,” I said, stepping away from him.“Let's get going,” he said, opening the door slightly, looking out carefully just in case there was a reporter lurking around.I followed him from behind, walking towards the elevator that would take me to the conference room. We stepped out of the elevator, walking towards the place, there were noises inside the room.I let out a deep breath, readying my mind for whatever questions they would ask me.Jack patted my shoulder slightly, “You can d

CRYSTAL Our attention was keen on Jack, waiting for him to give us a way forward. His gaze drifted swiftly before gazing at the other two.“Someone would have to stand in as the CEO,” he said, his gaze drifting back and lingered on me.I let out an unbelievable laugh, “What are you insinuating? Hope it wasn't what I thought it was?” I asked, suspicion creeping into my voice.“You have to do this for Jaden's sake, Crystal,” Jack said, his voice firm but gentle, eyes pleading as his jaw tightened.My breath etched, fingers combed through my hair in frustration as I tried to picture myself in the CEO.. it wasn't a good picture.“There's no way you would want me to do that, Jack,” I said, shaking my head slightly. “Why don't you be the acting CEO instead? You can do it better than me.”“No, Crystal. It's not possible. I don't have a say in my friend's company because we don't own it together,” Jack added.“You are right, Mr Jack. I think we have to do something fast about this because be

CRYSTAL “I think you would love to hear the good news first. The surgery was successful,” the doctor announced.I heaved a sign of relief as the doctor spoke but there was this fear because he had mentioned that there was bad news. What could it be if the surgery was successful?“The injury was very deep, it cut through his intestine slightly, twisted it way around surrounding organs, making him unable to move for a while. He was still in comma and we are unsure if he would wake up anytime soon,” the doctor explained,Everything suddenly became blurry. I was expecting to see him, hug him and tell him how scared I was after the surgery was done and now the doctor was saying that my Jaden wouldn't be awake to see me.Jack was fast enough to steady me before I could fall backwards. “What do you mean, doctor? How could he have fallen into a coma? Was there something wrong with the surgery that you aren't telling us about?” Jack asked, “Watch what you say, young man. I won't allow any d

CRYSTAL Jack moved closer to me, blocking me before I could follow the officer, “Are you sure you want to do this now…I mean you are still very much shaky because of what happened?” He murmured concern, creasing his brow.My lips pressed together as tears stinged my eyes, threatening to fall. Jack pulled me into his embrace as he saw my hesitation, because I was still shaken. “You should go clean yourself up, Crys,” Ava said, worry tightening her features as she took a small step closer.“Yea, that's right,” officer kale said.One of the nurses directed me to the restroom accompanied by Ava. I took time to wash Jaden's blood off my hands. His blood was also on my face as a result of wiping away tears from my face. For a minute, I stared at myself in the mirror, sweat covered my forehead making strands of hair glue to my face.When it seemed I was taking more time in the bathroom, Ava came to get me, locking arms with mine as we walked back to where the policeman and Jack were.“I'm

CRYSTAL I ran over to him, my hands around his neck, trying to pull him up but instead I fell on him. I ran my hands over his body trying to figure out where the blood was oozing out from.“No! Jay…please, stay with me…I beg you,” I wailed, stroking his cheeks a little.I scrambled for my bag, searching for my phone, my mind was so disorganized,not recalling where I dropped it then my eyes landed on Jaden's. I collected it quickly, punching the 911 keys before pressing the phone to my ear.“Hello, this is 911 and how can I be of help to you this evening,” a feminine voice said from the other end of the phone.“Someone is injured…I mean stabbed and he is bleeding,” I said, my shoulders trembling as the words rolled off my tongue.“Where are you right now?” She asked.“Zenor’s Estate,” I replied, tears trickling down my face.“We will be there in 10minutes,” she said, her voice brisk but thick with urgency.I shook my head, “10minutes is a lot of time,” I wailed, dropping the phone by

CRYSTAL After some few minutes, Eva opened the door, this time around her hair was neatly packed in a ponytail, her face adoned with little make up, color creept to her cheeks as her gaze darted from me to Jack.“I apologize for leaving you outside. I had to tidy some things up,” she said, softly, her voice taking a slight change— more feminine than usual.Jack held my hand again, supporting me as we entered the apartment. His hand only left my arm when I lowered my weight onto the sofa.Ava's gaze hovered around as she followed from behind, “What happened?” She said, her voice laced with worry.“I sprained my ankle a little. Thanks to Jack who took me to the hospital,” I said, shrugging lightly even as a dull ache pulsed beneath the bandage.“I would be on my way now,” Jack said, already shifting his weight towards the door.“Thank you,” I muttered, a quiet sincerity settling in my tone.“Thank you for dropping her,” Eva said with a wide and suspicious smile.There she goes again sm

CRYSTAL My body went still as his hands slid to my waist, my paint brush still in my hand, paint dripping slowly on the palette. The warmth of his body pressed into mine, his jaw resting on my head.I was familiar with that touch. The touch I'd always craved and addicted to. “Jaden,” I muttered,

CRYSTAL They were done inspecting and it was time to give a comment. My palm grew greasy as I waited for whatever they wanted to say.It was Maya who spoke first. “The paintings are well detailed, featuring the purpose of the project at hand,” she commented. My brows shot up as I wasn't expectin

CRYSTAL The word “letter” sends fear in me every time it's being said. The fear of an unknown person watching me, and knowing that my father could show up any time traumatized me.Why is it so hard to live peacefully? I'm finding it difficult in my relationships and also family.“Hey Crys,” Ella's

CRYSTAL I packed my handbag, strapped it over my arm when Drake appeared in front of my office. “Hello beautiful,” he said, his voice holding its usual flirty tone.I remembered how it always made me worried because of that tone but as time went on, I was gradually getting used to him being flirt
