CRYSTAL It was getting dark but the heaviness in my heart was darker, I walked on the sidewalk and couldn't get a taxi because the area is a residential area.My phone rang for the third time but I couldn't pick it up because I wasn't in the best state to talk to anyone. My thoughts were a mess and regret ate me up, if I had known I wouldn't have been here.The expression on Jaden's face flashed in my eyes again making my heart fall. I swallowed hard and came crashing down when my foot hit a stone. “Ouch,” I whimpered as I came crashing to the ground.My phone buzzed in my pocket but I was in pain and couldn't answer the call then as if luck shone on me. I heard someone call me.“Crystal!” The vehicle packed beside me as he jolted out of his car and approached me.“Drake?” I muttered, my eyes widened in surprise and relief. “What are you doing here?”“I should be asking what you are doing here. What happened? You disappeared after lunch…” he said, his voice trailed off as he tried ge

CRYSTALI buried myself into work as the workload on my shoulders were overflowing. Creating unique designs for the children foundation was the first on the list. Resources were ordered the previous week and I didn't have the chance to cross check them.I marked out the resources on the list against the ones that were delivered but to my disappointment the materials weren't correct.“Clara, were you in charge of supervising the materials?” I asked Clara over the phone.“Yes. Is there any problem with it?” She said from the other end. I massaged my temple as I was getting stressed already. The plan was to start work immediately and now the materials weren't all complete.“I think there was a mistake in packaging from the warehouse. Can you sort it out?” “Sure,” she said but hesitated. “I'm actually tied up in an urgent work that is to be sent to Mr Zenor in the next two hours.”I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. “Clara…”“I'm sorry,” she muttered.“I guess I would have t

CRYSTALI wanted to push him away, to scream that this wasn't the answer…that I needed assuring words not the flame of his lips consuming mine. But all the strength I gathered to protest was covered as he tightened his hold and pressed me deeper into his embrace.“Still doubting me?” he said,against my lips, his chest heaved heavily, his voice low and sensually dangerous. “Then I will show you…again and again, until you never doubt it.”I wanted to speak, to cry out, letting him know this wasn't the right way…but the words didn't form as his hands slid over me, punishing, intentional, leaving trails of fire that burned into my skin. He was simply punishing me for not believing him, for questioning what he thought he had already proven. I was gradually losing my senses as I threw my head back in pleasure.My mind screamed stop but my body…betrayed me all over again, holding him tight as though I needed the punishment as much as he needed to give it.He lifted me effortlessly, placing

CRYSTAL Last night was so intense and hot that I still couldn't find my balance because of the ache. I woke up to a blanket covering me, turning to adjust on the sofa well, my eyes popped open as it dawned on me that I was still in Jaden's office.I sprang up to my feet, covering my body properly with a small blanket. Then a door I hadn't noticed since, opened and Jaden came out of it with a towel wrapped around his waist.“What the hell was that?” I said, bewildered and blushing at the same time as my gaze glued on his dripping sculpted abs.“If you keep looking at me, we won't be out of here today,” he said, his lips curling into a smirk.I let out an awkward laugh. “I was looking at you,” I said, sharply, pretending I wasn't. “I'm just surprised that there's another door in here.”He nodded his head, expression soft as he drank from the bottle on his table. “Go have your bath,” he said, tilting his head to the open door.My lips parted slowly as I made my way into the open door. W

CHAPTER 70CRYSTAL “Crystal isn't it?” Maya said, her heels clicked on the tile as she approached me. “Yes,” I muttered, praying internally that she wouldn't bring up what happened in the morning.Her facial expression told me she would.“I thought as much,” her eyes fixed on me, looking at me from head to toe. “It's interesting we met again. You came by as a rude person.”My throat tightened. This was what I’d dreaded. But then, she was rude at first and I reciprocated it.My brows furrowed as we locked gaze intensely. “You seemed not to know that you would be addressed the way you addressed people,” I said, sternly, irritation lacing my voice.She was getting me pissed already. Just who does she think she is? Making an enemy on her first day of work.Her smile faltered. “You are a very bold one,” she said with spite. “ I wonder what's giving you this much boldness. Well, let's see if you will still be bold when Jaden gets to know that a wench like you snuck into her office…to stea
