As if common sense or reasoning would ever stop Kayden from looking down on Crystal, it has been two months since Mr. Smith died and it was as though everyone had moved on fast. Occasionally, Crystal thought about him, and how sad he always was when it comes to his family, she felt sorry for him. She doesn’t wish to involve herself any further, for the sake of her mental health; Kayden didn’t mind making her lose her mind, especially since he has been so demanding from her at work recently. It makes her feel like his hatred for her increased since his father’s death. Or it could be that it was because of his father that he was being nice to begin with, she didn’t even know what to think anymore… it is none of her business. “Crystal,” Deborah called from the doorway, Crystal glanced up at her from the desk she rested her head on. Deborah had a worried look on her face and she came inside with a grim expression on her face, Deborah didn’t need to talk, she could already tell wha

Thief? How is she a thief?What is going on? Or is this still a dream?“Crystal, I believe you have some explanations for us.” Kayden’s voice came back, it was as cold as before, Crystal’s eyebrows raise and fall in surprise. “Where are the diamonds?”“I have no idea what you are asking me…” she trailed off looking around at everyone in the room for validation. “The diamonds the King of UAEA sent to the company a few days ago, to be adorned on the shoes of his daughter.” Her eyes widened, so he was talking about that diamond? “Everyone knows how important they are, and no one else knows about it except for the design team and Leo the head of the production unit and now the design is complete they are missing, mind you these diamonds are worth billions of dollars.”“So, I believe this so called diamond is missing.” Crystal inquired curiously. “So why are you asking me? I don’t even know where this diamonds are kept, shouldn’t they be with you?”“We are not asking you purely based o

“Mr. Smith, according to the will, your father left 30% of his company to Mr. Sebastian, and since the position of vice chairman is vacant, he also hoped Sebastian would take the position.” Mr. Mayar, the lawyer remarks adjusting his eyeglasses, Kayden has been trying to be a gentleman. He’s been trying to contain his anger but he couldn’t help but rasp. “Mr. Connell also left some properties for his widowed wife, but she had spoken to me beforehand that she wouldn’t be making claims to any of Mr. Smith’s properties.” Kayden rolled his eyes, is she trying to act like a virtuous woman now? It was very laughable. “That can’t be possible anymore when my father retired he left the company and was almost bankrupt. There was nothing to inherit from it, it was due to my hard work we are here today, how can he just give out positions carelessly without consulting me first?” There was a cunning gleam in Sebastian’s eyes and it irked Kayden to the bones, he was just so angry, from the

“I hope you are all ready.” Deborah asked and the rest of the girls nodded, Paige stared out vacantly, she was waiting for Crystal. She wasn’t sure Kayden would let her come, but since they were all going on the trip together, there was no way he could stop her from coming; even if he planned to. Just as she was about to give Crystal a phone call, she opened the door and waltzed in, her eyes lands on Paige and she smiled, Paige smiled back in relief.“Where are your bags?” Deborah noticed and that was when Crystal realized that the rest of them had their bags. “Aren’t you going on this trip with us?”“I just left my bags downstairs; there was no need to bring them up when we are going down again.” They all blanched, they didn’t think about it like that, they had been so excited they are going on a trip that they weren’t using the most of their brains. “Let’s go, I heard from Laurie we are going in the company bus and it’s a twelve hours drive, to the island.”“We should arrive by

Crystal screamed throwing her hands everywhere, slapping and scratching him, but she didn’t stop screaming, he held both of her hands and pulled her into a bear hug; using all of his strength to hold her close to his body. She seemed like a small person, but she had a lot of strength, as time passed by, her movement began to weaken and her breath came out in labored pants; Kayden still held her in his arms, and now he was drawing soothing circles on her back. She was now fully awake, and she noticed that the figure that threatened her was all a dream, an imagination, she was also aware that she was in Kayden’s arms, and she hated being seen like that, the blood on her hands and the ones in her legs made her realize just how much she had messed up, and she burst into tears, the sound muffled into Kayden’s chest. Unsure of what to do, Kayden simply allowed her to cry, he had a lot of questions but he knew she was in no position to answer them at the moment, he didn’t know how muc
