“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
Crystal had passed the night, with her heart in her mouth, she had been afraid that Kayden would come back to get her. However, he didn’t, she wondered what he would have done to her if he did, he seemed very angry at her actions and there was this gut feelings that told her that what she did last night would come back to haunt her. He didn’t seem like a person who would use violence, he seemed that he rather prefer to use demeaning words against her; she felt physical abuse wouldn’t be an option for him. There was a small knock at the door and Crystal froze, her eyes widening from the shock, there was no one in the house last night, it was just Kayden and her. If there was no one in the house, then who would be knocking so early in the morning? Was it Kayden? Is he here to get back to her for yesterday? She debated within herself, either to open the door or not and when she finally decided to, she became hesitant to move, and the knock came again but this time sligh
“What’s going on here?” she asked curiously, in case there was some sort of information she was missing. The hulk like men, just stood behind Kayden like the dogs they were, they were waiting for the next order. “Mr. Smith, I’m very aware that this is your house, but you should at least respect my privacy; I don’t mind if it’s just you who barges into my room with no warning, but are you really going to allow some strangers into my room like it is a stadium?” Kayden just nodded at them and in an instant, they were on the move, turning her things over searching for something that wasn’t lost in her room. “Mr. Smith, what the hell is going on here?” She asked as she approached one of the men that were holding her work tools. “Hey, put that down right now!” She heard a very shocking snap, she gasped and turned in the direction of the sound, her eyes widened in shock when she noticed that they had broken the canvas, the painting she was making.All her hard work...“No!” she approached
Crystal lay in her bed face up, staring at the ceiling, she had woken up not too long ago; but she had no strength in her. Her arms hurt from the previous night, that Romano zombie would have broken her arms but she was lucky. She sighed, she didn’t know what to do, today was the day of the submission, and the client would be so disappointed if she tells him she had lost both the painting and the picture. She didn’t want to go to work, but her conscience wouldn’t allow her to just abandon Paige and let the poor girl take all the blame.She didn’t have a choice; she needs to go to work or Paige would be in a lot of trouble. “What!?” Paige cried in alarm and then she dropped into her seat lifelessly, as soon as Crystal explained to her. “We are dead, and I’m even deader, Harris will definitely fire us.” Crystal ran her fingers into her hair, frustrated. “Where is she?” an angry voice thundered, a sudden firm hands gripped her Paige firmly. “Please, Sir..." Crystal b
Crystal and Paige strolled out of the hospital, there was an unsettling rage inside of Crystal’s chest the one that dominated her sense of relief. “Ah! I feel so much better now,” Paige said with a slight stretch. “It’s quite sad that such a sweet girl is going through something as terrible, I will pray for her.” “I don’t know why, but I’m so furious,” Crystal confessed, she stopped and suddenly strolled over to the trashcan and kicked it. “Why did you kick that poor thing?” Paige said with a hint of humor in her voice. “I don’t know,” Crystal murmured as she walked back to Paige. “I just got angry and the trash looks just like Mr. Smith.” “We should probably go get something to eat,” Paige suggested and Crystal shook her head. “Aren’t you hungry?” “I’m not, I want to give that bastard a piece of my mind.” She complained bitterly, tears burning in her eyes. “I knew I was going to get fired one way or the other but I never wanted it to be that embarrassing.” She kicked the air
“Crystal, I promise you, we will talk about this and I will find a solution to your predicament.” He pleaded. “Please wait outside, while I quickly wrap this meeting up.” “Can I get a job here?” she then asked inside, blinking back big beady eyes at him. “I know you’re jealous I work in that place that’s usually crowded by men.” There was a small murmur among the board members, “Who would have thought Kayden is a jealous lover.” One of them said with a small smile. “He should, after all he is a man.” They laughed and Kayden’s frown deepens. “I remember when I got newly wedded; I was so worried that other men would hit on my wife so I decided to make her one of the shareholders in my company.” “Your father would be surprised to hear this.” One of them added while tapping on his phone; Kayden rolled his eyes, most of the geezers were his father’s friends so they would rattle to him. “No, you can't, this is a factory, we make shoes, we don’t paint pictures and portraits.” he deadp
