The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Crystal went ahead to tell him how he had destroyed her life by making her a thief and not a good person. “If I was your daughter would you let me go through all these things?”, she raised a question hard but little did she know that Max did not look after such things as if he wanted to have a kid he would.

“You are such a despicable man uncle, I did everything you asked me to think that you were going to hand over my properties to me but it is obvious that you have no intentions of doing so”, Crystal went on.

Things were getting heated up and Max was not finding her way to talk to him pleasantly, so with anger in him, he slapped her with the back of her left hand and Crystal fell to the ground with blood gushing out of her mouth.

” Don’t you ever dare to talk to me in that tone again, you spoiled brat”, Max yelled out as he lost himself.

He was beginning to show his real self and he told Crystal that if she was not ready to bring the balance to him, then she should consider herself knocked over as she was not going to leave the house till she made up her mind to do what he wanted.

Listening to this, Crystal rose to her feet and ran out of his office in the direction of her room, weeping like never before.

“You will still do what I want because I am the only family you have left”, Max yelled out from his office, panting like a person who was engaged in a fistfight.

Walking back to his seat, he was certain that a man was to buy off his niece for him to remain at the head of everything that his brother had left.

Sipping from his glass of Whiskey, he thought of the episode that had just come to pass, and out of too much anger, he threw the glass against the wall and it came down shattered into pieces.

Breathing in so hard he thought of the possibility of losing everything he had ever worked for, and that made his head hurt as he stamped the table with his hands on his table raving with anger.

Crystal was in her room and she had closed it up crying out her eyes as she thought of the spank that her uncle had just given her downstairs.

” Why did she have to do this to me, has he always been like this or did he just change the cause of my recent failure?”, she wondered in her mind as hot tears ran down her cheeks.

Confused about what to do, she took up her bag in search of her phone to call Georgia but her mother’s thoughts held her from doing so as she could not use the right words to explain what was happening to her friend.

Taking a deep breath, she was about to rise to her feet when she heard her phone vibrating, taking it out and identifying the caller as being her friend, Crystal breathed in and out, and with a courageous spirit, she picked up the call.

“Hello, Crystal are you home already?”, Georgia inquired as she was worried about what had happened.

Staying silent for some minutes, she wiped out the tears that were dropping from her eyes and gathering herself and arranging her voice, she responded,

” I am home now Georgia you need not worry”.

Georgia at the other end of the call could feel that her friend was not fine and that she was lying to her so she further raised a question,

“Are you sure that you are okay it seems to me that you are going through a rough time but you do not want to talk”, Georgia spoke out all concerned.

Crystal feeling that the conversation was getting to on deep, gave an account of the things she had to do that night before going to bed so telling her friend not to bother and that she would be with her tomorrow.

Crystal hung up the call unexpectedly and all that we said, did not make any sense to Georgia who had noticed for some time that she had been sad and moody.

Crystal cried some more and running through everything that Gina was trying to say to her, wondered what it was as it was not clear.

” Could Uncle Max be a bad person?”, Crystal had so many unanswered questions but she dared not confront her uncle again after the slap that she had received that night.

Taking herself up and heading to the bathroom, she stopped in front of the mirror and caught a glimpse of how red her cheek was, she wept again and Blaze’s image came flashing to her like a relaxation image that could melt all her problems away.

Holding her head, and later speculating on everything he had told her back in his office, she said to herself,

“I do not think he will want to help me, I tried to steal from him so why will she help me out?”.

An image of her came out in the mirror saying,

” He will help you out because he loves you and you know it”.

“Love me?, but how when all I see in his eyes is hatred”, Crystal spoke to her reflection.

The image told her to trust what she was feeling inside and only she could tell how she felt whenever she was in front of him.

Holding her heart, she could feel it beating just at the thought of him.

Hitting her head with her hands, she felt like she had become crazy, and looking at the mirror, she could not see anything anymore.

Convincing herself that what happened that night was all a misunderstanding because she distracted her uncle, she walked into the lavatory to take her bath hoping that by tomorrow when she woke up, everything just has been a nightmare.

She finished from the bathroom and walked into her room drying her hair as she rubbed herself with her lotion.

Skipping into her nightwear, she climbed on her bed and decided not to think of all the awful things that had happened during the day.

The sweetness of sleep was irresistible and the tiredness from the day made her doze off.

Beep beep!

Crystal was woken up by the alarm in her room which wakes her up every morning.

Sprawling her arms as she reached out to the alarm, she halted the alarm and waking up from her bed, she saw a new day that was to bring a lot of good things.

Catching a glimpse of her parent’s portrait, she smiled and closed both hands, praying for their protection and guidance for the day.

“Mommy and Daddy, I miss you both so much and I promise to always make you proud in everything I do”, she let out with a smile though her eyes were filled with tears.

Her attention was turned to her vibrating phone, and she walked to it noticing that, Georgia was the person calling.

Picking up her call she told her friend that she was just waking up and she was about to take her bath to come to meet her.

“Can you please tell Mirabelle to make a plate of sandwiches for me?”, she asked with an innocent voice that could make her get anything she wanted.

Georgia laughing at her said she would have the whole sandwich in the house.

Crystal was delighted to have such a friend who was willing to make her happy anytime so she asked Georgia how she was coping with not being anyone’s girlfriend Georgia on the other side of the phone, let out a huge sigh and replied,

” I will be fine bestie”.

“Do not worry about a thing, we will go cruising in some minutes okay?”, Crystal cheered up her friend.

Georgia was super happy to know that her friend was going to spoil her and she could not wait.

Crystal who had not yet seen the state of her face walked past the mirror in her room and threw a sight on it, she could not believe what the right side of her face looked like.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

In a state of shock, Crystal screamed so hard that Gina who was downstairs could hear her shout out and she immediately ran to her Mistress’s room.

Knocking on the door so hard, she called out ok Crystal asking whether she was okay but Crystal could not answer as the sight of her face left her in pain.

The slap she received last night, had damaged her face so badly that it was swollen.

Crying and asking Gina to go away, she lamented in her sorrow and did not feel like going out anymore.

” I am here for you Ms. Crystal, please open the door for me to come in”, Gina felt her pain, and knowing how connected they have become, she saw Crystal as a younger sister.

Crystal taking herself up and reaching for the door unlocked it and Gina on seeing her face shook in fright.

“Oh my goodness ma’am what happened to your skin? she raised a question as she told her to wait for a few minutes for her to go get the drug box.

Crystal went back to her room and sitting on her bed, she thought of the program she had fixed with her friend and now she could not go out.

Gina was already back with the medications and a bowl of hot water with a towel.

She told her not to scream as it was going to hurt a little.

Soaking the towel and squeezing it out, she placed it on Crystal’s face holding her hands not to move so much from the pain.

Crystal grinding her teeth and tightening her grip on her dress, moaned out in pain, and tears ran down her cheeks, expressing how exactly she was feeling.

Gina was done with the massaging and she applied the rub on her.
