Because you loved me 24. Revenge
"Here we are! She is the girl that locked you up in the washroom at the gala, and I just had my men interrogate her, she confessed that she was sent by Cassandra." Lucian spoke as he stood a disheveled-looking girl. Looking at the girl before her, Krystie could not help but sympathize with her she must have been beaten up or something before they came over, evident from the several wounds and blood strips on her clothes."Why did you do that?" Krystie asked eyeing the girl with a straight expression, her expression unreadable, she could clearly remember the trauma that she had just passed through because of this girl, making her insides burn with anger. The girl didn't even lift her head to look at them, she played dumb, and just as Lucian moved forward to force her to speak up, Krystie held up her hand, stopping him in his tracks."Don't!" she said, her voice firm with determination. "I appreciate your concern, but I need to handle this on my own. You can trust me on this. I can do

"Chloe, are you sure about this? It is already very late, and am afraid if Krystie were to find this out she would kill me," Raymond, Chloe's colleague and also one of Krystie's friends whispered."Krystie is at home for a one-week leave, she will never find out!You will not tell her, and I will never tell her too, so no way she will know any of this unless you are planning to...""No! No way!" Raymond spoke hurriedly, he was never going to risk his life that way but seeing the smirk on her lips he knew immediately that he had been played.Raymond, Chloe, and Krystie had attended the same school from kindergarten, and Raymond had always noticed how protective of her younger sister Krystie had been that he had always been afraid to mess up with Chloe, it was something else to deal with Krystie Jackson! Chloe’s heart raced as she adjusted the wig on her head, ensuring it covered every strand of her blonde hair. Even though she was pretending to not show on the surface how scared she w

"Krystie, now that you already know the truth about Cassandra's act during the gala night, aren't you going to do a thing, or do you want me to do it for you? Lucian asked when he could no longer contain it.It was already a week ever since Krystie had dealt with that girl, Lucian didn't know what exactly she did to her because Ronnie had reported to him that the girl had gone completely crazy. It was not his concern, as long as Krystie was happy with it."You don't have to worry about that, I got a surprise for her, it's just a matter of time before she gets to enjoy it," Krystie spoke with her usual straight expression face and Lucian could swear that he had seen a mischievous glint only that when he blinked to confirm it was already gone, so he was not sure whether he had seen it right. "In the meantime just take care of yourself, I will be back in a week, don't miss me too much!" Lucian spoke with a smirk before he kissed her on the cheeks.He was so used to being with her that he

Krystie's heart started beating rapidly, she had never been to the second floor, and sure enough, she was tempted to find out what it was that Lucian didn't want her to see.Krystie decided to check it out, she wanted to confirm whether what she had read was the truth or not, she took the stairs, with every step her heart pounding very first against her chest, she was at a crossroads, on one side she wanted to respect Lucian's privacy but on the other side she was so curious that she could not hold it in. Sure enough, when Krystie reached the second floor, the first thing that came to her site was a door, painted all black, unlike the rest of the doors in the house that were painted brown.Krystie's heart couldn't stop beating, she could feel it pounding against her chest, she was nervous and scared at the same time. She was scared to find the truth, unlike how she had thought it, she found her legs going numb that she could not even take a step forward.Krystie dragged herself to the

"Ronnie, book the next earliest flight possible, as for the celebration party I won't be attending, I want to go home immediately, send apologies on my behalf, inform them I have an emergency to attend to!"Lucian spoke as he freshened up.This came as a shock to Ronnie, but he had no courage to oppose."Why is he acting so strange? Or is he really in love!" Ronnie thought as he walked out of the room to attend to the assigned task.Normally in the business world, whoever gets a business deal has to organize a party to interact with the investors, yet here the host was already excusing himself from attending.'Finally am coming home to you my dear,' Lucian murmured, whistling a tune only he knew.He was supposed to go back home in two days but with the way he was missing his wife, there was no way he could take another single day without seeing her.~~~~~~~~~~~~Krystie had tried to contain herself for three days, but when she woke up she could no longer hold her curiosity anymore, and

It was already a week ever since Krystie got injured, and all this while there was never a day that Lucian had had her move around the house he had transferred his office to home, and most of the time he was working from home, conducting virtual meetings with the business partners. Krystie didn't see the need for all this, because he was only forming a mountain from an anthill, but on the other side she was touched because all her life there was nobody who had ever done so much for her, she was so used to doing things all by herself. "Krystie don't move, I already warned you that in case you need anything all you got to do is call out to me," Lucian warned as he rose from his seat running towards her, leaving his employees stunned, it was shocking for the boss to leave such an important meeting midway just to attend to a woman, everyone in the office knew how much the boss hate the ladies being around him that even he had employed only males to take up the position of the secretarie

Trapped in the elevator Lucian was whistling, humming to a certain tune as he walked around the kitchen, he was so happy, preparing a meal for his wife before she came back when his phone finger with a notification, at first he was so determined to ignore it but when several more dinged he decided to check it. "What the hell is this!" Lucian was surprised by the content of the message, it came from an unknown number, and it sounded suspicious to him because not many people knew his number unless it was someone who knew him very well.When Lucian saw the content of the message on the screen, he could feel his heart shattering into pieces. "I thought you had moved on from that douchebag, but why in the hell would you still kiss him?" Lucian thought to himself as he threw the pans around the kitchen before sitting on the stool, his mind racing in turmoil. Giving it a thought, Lucian felt something was not right somewhere, why would someone send him the picture of Krystie and Alex, no

Mr. King sat in his luxurious office, his mind elsewhere. His fingers tapped impatiently against the polished surface of his desk while his other hand gripped his phone tightly. It was already three days. Three damn days without a single word from his brother. His younger brother had never gone this long without answering his calls or at least checking in. He had a bad premonition about it! Mr King exhaled sharply, rubbing his temple. His sources inside the big boss’s operations had gone quiet too, which only deepened his unease. Something was wrong. His phone buzzed, jolting him from his thoughts. It was an unknown number. Frowning, he hesitated before answering. "Who is this?" His voice was sharp and demanding. Silence. Then a distorted voice, as if through a voice changer. "Your brother is in critical condition at St. Lucy's Hospital." A cold chill ran through Mr King's spine. His grip tightened on the phone. "What the hell are you talking about? Who are you?" "Wh

The meeting room inside the warehouse was dimly lit with only a single overhead light. Across the wooden table, the men seated around with tension on their faces. The big boss sat at the head of the table, his gloved fingers tapping rhythmically against the wooden table. His dark mask hid his expression, but the sharp glint in his eyes was enough to send chills through the men seated before him. His patience had run out. Ben stood beside him silently, watching as the others shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Every man in the room knew that meetings like these never ended well. Someone wasn’t going to walk out of this room alive. The big boss finally spoke, his voice calm. "We have a big problem!" He leaned back in his chair. "You see, everything has been going to hell lately. Our plan was interfered with, the dock was wiped clean, our men tortured, and Dr Lawrence returned to us in a state that not even the devil himself would wish upon his worst enemy. He let the words s
Because you loved me Chapter 67.
The big boss stood at the corner of the warehouse looking out of the window. His dark mask covered his face as always. Things had started going wrong! The warehouse was silent except for the chirping of the birds outside. Ben, his right-hand man, stood beside him, tense. He was afraid the boss might lash out at him. "Boss, I think it's kind of strange, everything is so wrong right now. We still haven’t found Dr. Lawrence. It’s like he disappeared off the face of the earth. At the dock, everything was wiped out clean. I think we have a mole in our group." The big boss exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples. "Lawrence, that bastard ruined everything. And now he’s hiding?" His voice was deadly calm, but everyone in the room knew what that meant, someone was going to die tonight. "About a mole, I have noticed that too. Don't worry about it. I'll handle everything in today's meeting. Make sure that boy also attends, I want to deal with him tonight." The big boss took a seat at the table.

The sirens grew louder as the cars made their way to Dock 47. The stench of gunpowder, blood and bodies scattered like discarded chess pieces in the area. Two black SUVs with tinted windows screeched to a halt. Armed men dressed in black tactical gear spilt out. Their faces were masked, they had been tracking the van since it left the hospital. They were Krystie's people, not the police. The GPS trackers hidden inside the cartons had led them here. The sirens were only to scare everyone away. "Secure the area and clean everything!" barked the team leader, a man with a sharp jawline and piercing grey eyes that missed nothing. Inside the cartons, the doctors and nurses had begun to stir, groggy from the sedatives. Panic flashed across their faces as the realization set in, everything foggy in their minds. One of the men yanked the tape off a doctor’s mouth. The doctor gasped, coughing violently as he tried to speak. "Please help us," he croaked, his voice raw from dehydration.

Dr Lawrence’s eyes fluttered open. A sharp, metallic scent filled the air, the cold dampness of the room made him shiver. His head throbbed with pain, a dull ache from the back where he had been struck. He tried to move, but his arms were bound tightly behind a metal chair, his legs shackled to the floor. The faint sound of waves crashing hinted that they were near the coast. Perhaps Italy, from the faint accent in the whispered words exchanged around him. As his vision cleared, he took in his surroundings. He was in a vast, abandoned warehouse somewhere unfamiliar. His heart raced with panic when he noticed the men surrounding him. They weren’t the big boss’s men. They were fierce, sharp-eyed men dressed in black, their postures rigid with discipline. Some had scars and others bore tattoos with symbols he couldn’t recognize, but all of them radiated the same silent threat. Their faces were cold, emotionless, and deadly. "Where am I?" Dr Lawrence asked drawing the attention o

The hospital corridors were very silent. Krystie, Lucian, and his team of trusted allies walked through, dressed in scrubs and surgical masks. "Let me check on Chloe first," Krystie whispered to Lucian as she peeled away from the group. She reached the door and paused, her heart pounding in her chest. "Inject her now. She's the next one for the procedure," a cold voice ordered from inside. Krystie’s eyes flashed with fury. Without hesitation, she kicked the door open. Two masked nurses turned in shock, one holding a syringe filled with a clear liquid. Chloe lay on the bed helplessly, her face pale from fear of what would happen if Krystie didn't make it on time. Krystie grabbed the nurse with the syringe, twisting his wrist until the needle clattered to the floor. With a swift punch to his jaw, he crumpled. The second nurse lunged at her, but she was faster, driving her elbow into his throat before sweeping his legs out from under him. He hit the floor with a thud. Krystie to
Because you loved me Chapter 62. Undercover
Krystie, Chloe, and Lucian sat in the living, each one deep in their thoughts. Krystie’s phone buzzed, breaking through the silence. She picked it up, her eyes narrowing as she read the message: Boss, there is another unauthorized surgery scheduled soon. Details are vague, but it’s happening within the next few days. Nancy. Krystie’s jaw tightened. She stood abruptly pacing around the room. They are not going to stop any soon, there's another scheduled surgery happening soon, she muttered, her voice low Lucian’s eyes darkened, but Chloe spoke first. "Then we need to stop them. We can’t sit here while people out there need our help. That's what Papa taught us. Krystie shook her head in frustration. "Exactly. But I don't know how to help them. I can’t go back into the hospital without drawing attention. I’m still under investigation. I was suspended, remember." A deafening silence followed until Chloe broke it. "Then that's the point where my plan comes into the picture. I

The blood-stained envelope lay on the table, its edges crumpled. Krystie stared at it with a pounding heart. Chloe and Lucian sat across from her, anticipation evident on their faces. The silence between them was almost deafening. Krystie’s heart raced as she finally tore it open. The contents spilt out across the table, a stack of photographs faded with time, and a small note written in Cassandra's handwriting. Krystie reached for them with trembling fingers, afraid of what she might see. Chloe’s gasped, her fingers flying to her mouth. "Oh my God…" she whispered, her eyes darting from photo to photo. The first photo showed a strikingly handsome young man with piercing dark eyes and a charismatic smile. He was laughing, caught mid-motion, his arm around someone just out of frame. Krystie’s breath hitched. She recognized him from the countless times Lucian had mentioned him. Damien! Lucian’s elder brother. The same brother who had been murdered the day Krystie’s parents died
Because you loved me Chapter 61.
The sky was draped in a thick blanket of grey clouds as if mourning alongside the small gathering at the cemetery with Cassandra’s name etched on the headstone. Krystie stood among the mourners, her face pale with black sunglasses draped over her eyes. The dark circles under her eyes betrayed the sleepless nights she had had. She wore a simple black dress, her hands trembling as she clutched the envelope Cassandra had given her. She had dared not open, afraid of what she might find. Her eyes remained fixed on the lowering casket, guilt gnawing at her core. The priest’s words faded into the background. She was only present physically. Chloe gently placed a hand on Krystie’s shoulder, her voice soft and reassuring. "Krystie, please stop blaming yourself. You did everything you could. You saved her. This wasn’t your fault." Krystie didn’t respond. She couldn’t. Her heart was heavy with unanswered questions. The logical side of her brain to accept life and death as part of the job w
