Kayden got up too and she pretended to not notice as she headed out of the office, and She walked as fast as her legs could carry her, clutching her bags to her chest, as she headed for the elevator. She got in immediately the doors opened she tapped repeatedly on the buttons hoping the door would close but as soon as the steel doors were about to close, unfortunately, Kayden’s arms extended in and her heart fell. He got in with a neutral look on his face, for some reason he wasn’t glaring at her like he did before and then she prayed for someone to come and join them, she didn’t want to be alone with him. But as it will be her prayers weren’t answered and when the door finally closed, she let out a depressing sigh. What is she even running for? She didn’t do anything wrong, so why is she afraid? “How close are you with my brother?” He asked curiously, he slipped both of his hands into his pocket and she blinked back the shock; she wasn’t expecting him to be so direct. “You seem

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Paige asked when she saw the bag that Sebastian brought for them, the rest of them had eaten except for Crystal who was just working her ass off, and her hands was bleeding again. “Look your band aid is now stained, why don’t you listen to Deborah and stop?”“I know, I work twice as slow as everyone, we really need to round up the project tonight, so I can’t afford to stop.” She said and Paige shook her head, they were the only ones in the office at the moment, because the rest of the workers were on lunch break. “You don’t have to push yourself too hard.” Paige advised “I do, because I have always dreamt of doing this, travelling around the world, and showcasing my talent.” She said with a small smile, and Paige nodded, she understood too well, a dream that was close to impossible months ago. Crystal would often say things like that when they were younger, but as she grew up she would term it impossible, after every trial on error, but Paige couldn’t bl

“You are going to display fireworks for my win,” She smiled brightly, throwing her hands up in the air, can’t she get any louder? Kayden shook his head, with the understanding that she was drunk at the moment. A loud bang in the distance, suddenly there was chaos, and the atmosphere changed, the projectiles ricocheting one after the other, and colorful lights filled the black sky of the night. Crystal raised her hands dramatically, like a child, in an attempt to feel the debris of the fireworks. Kayden felt a sudden vibration from the pocket of his coat, he slipped his left hand into it and fumbled for the phone, he glanced at the caller ID, it was Doctor Miguel and immediately he knew he needed to answer the call in private. “Crystal, Crystal,” he called out softly but crystal only turned within a split seconds and continued gazing at the beautiful lit sky because she was so engrossed with the fireworks display making her not to pay attention to what was happening around her. “I w

Birds were singing outside the window, and even though Crystal was a bit distant in her sleep, she could hear them. She turned to her other side, sunlight flashed on her face and she shut her eyes even tighter. A small but sharp pain builds in her head, and she whimpers softly.“Are you awake?” She heard Kayden’s voice and her eyes fluttered open immediately; he was sitting on the edge of her bed and he was dressed in his pajamas, his blond hair casually tousled over his eyes and his bedroom eyes stared down at her with no emotion in them.“K-K-Kayden,” she stuttered as she sat up abruptly, She winced slightly because it was a bad idea, getting up so suddenly when she had signs of a migraine. “Why are you here?”“You don’t remember?” He asked and almost immediately the door opened and Petra came in, holding a tray in hand, her weary eyes fell on Crystal and she smiled.“Good morning, Mrs. Smith.” She said as she hurriedly walked to her side, she laid the tray on the small table an

“I’m glad to see, you two are doing so well,” Randy said with an unsure look on his face, his eyes fleeting side by side. “It is quite disturbing how you were able to get my contact number, have you been stalking me?”“No, we won’t do something like that,” Cassandra answered instead and Crystal reached for the small tea cup in front of her. “Especially to some like you.”Randy cleared his throat and adjusted himself in his seat, he took his teacup and sipped from it as well. “I don’t have much time, tell me why you wanted to see me, I have to return home to my family.” He glanced at his wristwatch, it was an hour after his closing time, and his wife must be so worried now.“How can you shamelessly sit in front of your adult daughters and brag about your family?” Crystal asked with a plain look on her face.“Daughters he abandoned.” Cassandra corrected; disappointment gleamed in their eyes.“So, now what do you want?” Randy asked with a small shrug. “Do you want revenge for what happen
