“So, it was you who pushed me down the stairs?” Crystal asked staring at Laurie intently, her blue eyes narrowed on Laurie who blinked back green eyes with feigned ignorance. You attempted to drown me at the resort, stole the diamonds, and sabotaged my designs, correct??” “That is correct, and I feel bad I am just telling you all this now.” Laurie smiled as she tapped the tears from her eyes using her handkerchief, and then her voice rang out maliciously. “I hope the fairy Rae listens to my request and kills you for real this time.” “So, your wish was for my death, right?” Crystal breathed out. She stared at Laurie with sadness looming in her eyes. “Why would you do something like that?” “It is because you are so annoying.” Laurie snapped. You've only just started working at the company, but everyone already likes you. You're always with Mr. Smith, which is frustrating because he doesn't even like you. Why did he make you his wife? What makes you so special??” There was a brief sil

“Good morning,” Kayden greeted first with a satisfied smirk on his face when he noticed his wife was all dressed up and ready for work. “You are late for breakfast.”“I am going to have breakfast with Paige and the others,” Crystal said as she climbed down the stairs. She continued to approach him and stopped in front of him. She offered him a small envelope with the handwritten apology he requested, causing his smile to widen even more.He eagerly opened it, read it with a smile, and then tucked it away.“Apology accepted,” he declared before turning on his heels, leaving first.Crystal rolled her eyes as she wondered what he was so excited about. She reluctantly followed him to the car; Akeem noticed them from the corner of his eyes. Immediately, he opened the door and greeted them with a warm smile.Crystal smiled back before muttering a small “good morning.” And she got into the car with Kayden. Since the incident, this was the very first time she was stepping outside along with h

That was the fifth glass of wine she was having, like the others, she finished it in one gulp, and set down the empty glass on the table. Crystal glared at him as she reached for the wine bottle and then she made a face when she noticed it was empty.“I think that is enough drinking for today.” He complained as he took the bottle out of her hands. “I didn’t bring you here so you can get drunk before we can go to the other places I had arranged for.”It was no use, she was drunk, it was his fault since he decided to watch her drown herself in alcohol and had let her finish the whole bottle before he could stop her.Her eyes were red, probably from crying too much, thankfully, she wasn’t crying anymore, who would have thought, his apology would make her tear up.“I am not going anywhere with you.” She slurred, even though she was drunk she kept her composure, he stifled a laugh, she was a drunk elegant lady. “Mr. Kayden S-Smith, if you think just by saying sorry, would make me forget

Crystal shook her head trying to ignore the dizziness, her vision was blurry and her legs were stumbling, she felt hot and it was as though she would collapse any minute, she stopped and held one of the pillars in the restaurant. Kayden noticed she had slowed down, so he also slowed his pace before he turned back toward her.“Why did you stop?” He asked she held the pillar tighter, she was breathing heavily as she rested her back against the wall. Kayden shook his head, it seemed she was too drunk to walk and this was the reason he had been warning her to slow down earlier, she would proceed to drink more wine after each warning. He strolled back towards her, he slipped his hands in his pocket when he got to her, and he brought his face closer to hers in a teasing manner. “What is it? Do you need help?”“I just need to rest a little bit,” She muttered back, Kayden’s silver eyes fell to her legs which were now visibly shaking, she looked like she was going to fall over any minute.

Birds were chirping and sunlight streamed into the bedroom from the slightly opened curtains, the golden rays warming Crystal’s face; her eyes twitched, and she groaned out loudly when she felt a sudden ache in her head.“What in God’s name happened?” she muttered as she sat up slowly, she felt sore in her body and she couldn’t even remember how she got home or what she had done the previous night. Just as she was thinking about it, Kayden opened the door and waltzed in, his presence reminding her the events of thof e previous night. He had a firm look on his face, and she couldn’t help but wonder if they fought the previous night, he stopped just inches away from her bed and stared down at her in dissatisfaction.He was like an exhibitionist, hoping to buy a new car, he lightly stroked his jaw as he waited there silently, and she couldn’t help but feel he wanted something.“You are not dressed for work.” He noticed and she stared down at her nightwear, she snickered, that much
