Chapter 21--What sort of game is this?

CRYSTAL My joints made cracking sounds as I tried stretching my pale body on the bed, wanting to feel the warmth of the duvet. They felt so stiff like rusted irons that needed lubrication. My eyes at once shot open in a flash, the lights in my illuminated room almost blinding my sclera. I whipped my face to take a peak at the windows. The rays of the sunlight were seeping in through the curtains, making the temperature in the room warm. I truly didn't know what was going on with my body. I seriously can't believe I had spent the whole of yesterday slipping in and out of consciousness. I felt so ill and sickly yesterday. My head spinned, my throat ached and my skin was searing hot. This sudden illness was alarming. I had just a hazy memory of what transpired yesterday. My mind travelled to Leonardo and in a flick, the memories came rushing back into my mind like floodwaters without restraint. He was in this same room by night with me, feeding me from his hands whilst

Chapter 22-- I am not two faced

CRYSTAL My hands flailed around on the bed, wandering aimlessly as I slowly drew in deep breaths to calm my stormy nerves that were causing wreckage in my mind. After Maya informed me that Leonardo would be the one to serve me breakfast, I had all the hairs in my body standing so rigid.The more I thought of seeing Leonardo again, the more it sent shivers like cold slithers down my spine even though I was having a hot shower. It gave me frightening goosebumps and I had to remind myself to breathe every now and then. I stared at the white intricate design ceiling of my room with my heart beating so erratic and my palms becoming sweaty. Leonardo had succeeded in making me always shudder by just the very mention of his name. I had never been so terrified of anyone the way I was of Leonardo. He was heartless and selfish, not caring who he hurt as long as he got his way.I hadn't been here for up to a year yet his attitude towards me was nothing to write home about. I truly won

Chapter 23--Two sides of Coin

CRYSTAL After my partial emotional break down display, I saw a different new side to Leonardo. I am seriously still finding it hard to believe that I actually surrendered myself to his embrace. He felt so warm and I felt so little as his huge body enveloped mine in a warm hug. He was actually being more human and caring which was totally shocking for a man of his attitude.I expected my lash out to make him reveal why he was being so kind to me but instead it showed me a totally calm and placid side to Leonardo Constanzo. Several times I would ask myself within me if I were dreaming as Leonardo comforted my tensed nerves. I know that before whenever I did try to raise my voice at him, it would always end up in a punishment from Leonardo.But now--today-- he hugged me. He really hugged me like he cared for me. I struggled to get that off my mind but it stayed filtered through my thoughts.I engaged in a little têtê-à-têtê with Leonardo afterwards and I actually discovered

Chapter 24--Time would tell

CRYSTAL That tiny ray of hope in a bleak situation can prove to be very fortunate. Watching your world crumble before your very eyes and sacrificing everything including your freedom to see your loved ones happy is probably one of the most painful decisions you can make. Hope they say is a fire in our hearts.It's an anchor that holds us firm. It's a light that shines like the sun if you keep it alive in your heart with the firm belief of a better future ahead. I feel my hope of leaving this mansion renewed and rejuvenate following the talk I had with Leonardo yesterday night and also seeing his now calmer and tranquil side.He was able to tell me a tip of the iceberg concerning his childhood which probably meant he was beginning to feel open with me.Maya did tell me that Leonardo was a very secretive person. One could hardly guess what was going on in that malicious mind of his and he hardly talked about his childhood and parent but yesterday he gave me a glimpse of it.Tha

Chapter 25-- His surprise

CRYSTAL I yawned lazily, pinching my eyes shut and flying it back open once I had been aroused from my deep slumber.My eyes peaked at the open windows that had curtains swaying over them in the rhythm of the cool early morning wind. I stood on my wobbly feet and took tottering steps to one of the windows. The cold wind was ever so soothing on my skin, tenderly caressing it. I strained my neck and noticed the pond some metres away.Wow I never did know I could see the pond from my windows.The sun and the moon were clearly visible in the early morning sky.I watched the palm trees sway to the gentle breeze of the warm sun. The entire landscape was basking in the warm glow of the sun. I exhaled slowly and my minds brought back flashes of I and Leonardo's walk in the beach.Strangely, it was nice. It was not how I had totally thought it would turn out. Leonardo's attitude was evolving these days. He was more calm and less angrier.He never snapped back at me. He always loo

Chapter 26-- New Beginnings

Crystal felt her eyes widened in amazement, astounded by where Leonardo had brought her too. Surprise washed over her face as she stared jaws ajar at the huge scenery before her eyes.It was an airport. He brought her to a freaking airport.She fed her eyes on the huge aircrafts and her ears twitched to their boisterous noise.Watching some planes take off and some landing, Crystal had her eyes sparkling with excitement. Was he going to show her round the airport?---she thought to herself.Or was he planning on shipping her off to a faraway country like Columbia to be a slave? The surprise that had webbed over her face had now been completely erased by fear which settled in her features.Where was he planning on taking her too?Her eyebrows were pulled up together in sudden panic and fear."L-leonardo w-where are you taking me too?"Crystal asked in apprehension."Relax Bella. You will see"he said cooly and walked out of the limousine, Crystal following suit. Once down from th

Chapter 27--I love Crystal

CRYSTAL"What! You did all that just to get a day off from school!?"I asked in high pitch, my brows pulled up in total astonishment at Leonardo's tale. He chortled and gave me a sly smirk. "Ofcourse.""C'mon don't act surprised. You know me and you know my character" he added sharply.I blinked severally, almost laughing. Leonardo was a whole box of weird."You burnt your school books and began smoking in class so as to get suspended! That's insane"I screeched.Leonardo laughed it off. "I'm insane baby girl. I know""Now tell me" he requested, pouring himself another glass of whiskey. "Did you engage in any sort of mischief while you were in high school?"I shook my head, pouting my lips a little. My eyes locked with his and I almost giggled at his quirky look."I was an obedient student. Teachers pet you might even say" I chirped."Unlike some people I know that almost made their teachers run mad"I taunted Leonardo. He ruffled up my hair which made me jerk in my seat."Leonardo

Chapter 28--Welcome to Italy

CRYSTAL "Wakeup Crystal"My body was being tapped on mildly, a husky voice echoing in my ear.I yawned lazily with my eyes slowly fluttering open from the abyss of darkness I had fallen into."We've landed"Leonardo announced huskily. At once I sat up straight, smiles beaming all over my face."Are you serious!?" I almost screamed as excitement bubbled within me.He nodded and combed my slightly ruffled hair with his large hands."Now I can finally know where you are taking me to" I chirped in high spirits. Leonardo sniggered and stood up, stretching out his hand for me to grasp.I held on to it and he helped me to my feet. I felt his hand slightly interlock with mine causing my skin to tingle.Oh good Lord. What is this man doing to me? Am I suppose to feel this way? I suddenly began feeling self conscious as Leonardo walked me out of his jet.My mind raced back to when I was asleep.Oh my God. I hope I wasn't drooling or snoring or worse talking in my sleep. Back when whe

Chapter 29--What lies in store for us?

CRYSTAL Sunlight creeped through the curtains of my room causing me to flutter my eyes open. I rolled over to the other side of the bed and stretched my body lazily before sitting up on the bed. I placed my rickety feet on the ground, flinching at the contact of the cold tiles on my feet. My legs wandered to the window as I gazed out of it.Wow!The view is amazing. I could see the bustle from the road; the honking of cars, chattering from the crowd whilst everybody engaged in their daily business. I also had a clear view of the hotel and I noticed a spell binding swimming pool.I still couldn't believe I was really in Italy.Leonardo had outdone himself in this one. Speaking of Leonardo, I hadn't seen him since yesterday night. The man just brought me into this penthouse and dashed out in a flash. I thought he would come back before dinner but he didn't. I truly hope he didn't abandon me in Italy.Well it wasn't something he couldn't do. My eyes then wandered to the di

Chapter 30--How long would it last?

CRYSTAL Basking in the warmth of the sun, I and Leonardo walked down the cobble streets of Rome. Everything felt so surreal for me. After a sumptuous breakfast, Leonardo didn't waste no time in taking me out on our tour in rome. He had wanted to take one of his cars but I insisted we walked. That way we would enjoy the tour more and get that Italian experience. The garrulous voices of people; both men, women and young people filled the air. Laughing and chatter soared, young children playing around and teenagers engaging in their têtê-à-têtê. The street we were in was filled with old Italian apartments that had rugged draping down from the windows.I had a beam on my face as I watched everything but then I realised I had no camera to actually capture the moment."What's wrong Crystal?"Leonardo asked as if noticing my disappointed inner state."Nothing"I replied putting up a smile.He shook his head at me. "I can read you like a book. Spill"he ordered. Even when he was nic
