Semua Bab One Obsession --Two Redemption : Bab 91 - Bab 100

CRYSTAL I paced the room, thinking of a way I can help Jaden out even though I know that he would be against it. I can't just let him live with pain, it makes me sad to see him this wayI stepped out of the room hurrying downstairs to talk to him. He was at the mini bar, drinking, his eyes were still blood shot. I couldn't handle the way he looked tattered since the news was broken to him.In that moment, I realized that for him to have remained this way concerning the person he hated was probably because he was finding it so hard to release the person from his heart“I'd appreciate it if I was alone,” he said, taking a sip of his drink.I shrugged slightly, “I don't think so,” I said, grabbing a cup and pouring out the contents of the bottle into it. All he needed was a company and I will do just that.His eyeshadow furrowed, “You don't drink,” he gazed at me as I gulped down the alcohol and was about to collect the bottle from me but I dodged him. “You will get drunk.”The burning

CRYSTAL “Stop beating around the bush, Maya. I don't have time to spare,” I said, wearing my apron and gloves as I went to sit on my wooden chair.“Dont you want to know the reason why I don't like you?” She asked,“I'm not curious,” I replied, while I mixed the colors on my palette.“You are so full of yourself. I wonder how Jaden let himself be seduced by you,” she spat.“What?” I said,“Isn't it true? You got this job because you seduced Jaden into giving you the job,” she said, spitefully.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself from exploding with anger and also avoid saying something I shouldn't say because she's my superior.I set my brush down slowly and turn to her, “Will you take responsibility for this if I'm unable to finish it in 3weeks?” “Still as rude as ever. Well, I want this to get into your thick skill. Jaden isn't in your league, he would ditch you soon enough as soon as your contract ends,” she spat.“I will be glad if you just mind your business, Maya,” I s

CRYSTALMinutes earlier I got a message that Old Zenor was dying and was asking for his son. I felt pity for him, being that he had all the time to be a good father for his son but he wasn't there when his children needed him the most.Jaden on the other hand did not know what love from parents truly is and this made me want to help him reconnect with his father again. Despite that, my conscience threw a quilt at me for similar things but I still think Jaden's story was more different from mine.**Jaden's eyes were filled with hurt as he stared at me. “Was this what this is about? You are not sick?”he asked, running a hand through his hair, angrily.“I'm so sorry, Jaden. I only wanted you to hear him out,” I said, my voice trembled slightly. “Before it's too late.”His jaw clenched, his eyes glittering with something raw, “You shouldn't have done this, Crystal. It was none of your business.”“I did it because I care, Jaden,” I said, softly, my voice trembling with sincerity.“I doubt

CHAPTER 98CRYSTAL My mind was so focused on finding Jaden that I didn't process Drake's words. Drake's words resounded in my mind, there was a brief silence, I was careful not to say hurtful words knowing how he might be obsessed with me but then we were just friends, nothing more. “This isn't the right timing but I deserve to know,” he said in a hush tone, more like his heart was broken.I looked out of the window,“You really want to know? I love him, Drake. And I can't love without him,” I said, sincerity laced my voice.Drake's jaw clenched and his grip tightened around the wheel. There was silence between us for a moment, then I decided to clear the air between us. I rubbed my temples, fatigue and hunger made my stomach twist but yet I wasn't in the mood to eat until I found Jaden. “I don't know what's going on in your mind right now, I believe I have made myself clear…”“It's fine, Crys,” Drake smiled slightly. “That doesn't change how I feel towards you.”My heart went out t

CRYSTAL Jaden walked to me, caging me with his arms as I stood behind the cabinet while I was trying to gather some ingredients to make us a light dinner or maybe breakfast because it was already early hours of the morning, just that it's still very dark.His hot breath fanned my neck, tingling me and spiking a hot sensation down my spine. “What can I make out of this for you, Jaden?” I said, managing to form the words to say before I said it.His head rested on the nap of my neck, “Anything you make out of it would do,” he replied, his lips pressed on my shoulder.“Okay,” I muttered, wiggling myself from his grip. Jaden always had a way of getting things if he wanted it. His charm always does the work. He rested his back on the cabinet, watching me as I moved around the kitchen, preparing a light meal of boiled egg, cheese and sliced bread for us.“Let me help you with that,” he said, collecting the plate from my hands while I went to take juice from the refrigerator.“Thank you,”
