Because you loved me 26. I will miss you too.
"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
Because you loved me 27. Revelation
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
Because you loved me 27. Confirmation
"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
Because you loved me 29. Reunion party.
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
Because you loved me 30. Trapped
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

Because you loved me 32. Shopping
Krystie sat on the couch, clutching her abdomen as waves of pain radiated through her body. It was that time of the month again, and her cramps were making her feel miserable. She was shocked when she had just realized that she didn't have any sanitary towels with her.Going to the store was out of an option for her, so instead she reached for her phone and texted Lucian as she didn't have any other person she could turn to, Chloe was out of the city while Mark was on duty for the day.Krystie decided to try her luck with her husband instead, she knew maybe he was busy but she just wanted to try."Hey, could you please run to the store and grab some sanitary for me? I ran out of them," she typed, wincing as another cramp hit her.I hope he is not busy with his work, Krystie thought as she lay on the sofa clutching her stomach hoping for the pain to recede.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lucian glanced at his phone as it buzzed with a message while he was holding an employee meeting. He frowned slightl

"Krystie, why have you been drinking this heavily of late?" Lucian asked when he could not contain himself any longer. In the past two weeks, Krystie had been going home drunk daily."Lucian, look at me, you are asking me why am drinking this heavily?" Krystie choked on her tears. "It is because of you that am this drunk.""Me?" Lucian asked confused, pointing at himself, he could not recall doing anything bad to her."Yes! You Lucian," Krystie spoke, this time hitting Lucian on the chest. Lucian just allowed her to do anything she wanted to, but he wanted to know what exactly was wrong with her, and why exactly she would blame him."Lucian, I hate it when you treat me like this. Do you think it is easy for me, when I got good feelings for you, when you take very good care of me, when you...""That is my duty Krystie, am your husband," Lucian spoke cutting her shot."Husband," Krystie let out a sarcastic laugh. "Husband on papers only," Krystie said, wiping the tears in her eyes."Do

Because you loved me 47. Mafia heiress
Krystie's heart raced as she listened to the chilling message left on her voicemail. It was a voice she knew too well yet had hoped never to hear in such dire circumstances, the gruff, menacing tone of someone from her dark past. "They've got him. You know what to do if you ever want to see him alive." "Who?" Krystie asked confusion evident on her face. "Who else? Lucian, your husband!" The voice gruffed again. The words echoed in her mind as panic surged through her. Lucian, her dear husband, had been kidnapped. Fear gripped her, but beneath the fear burned a fierce determination. She knew exactly who had taken him, remnants of the mafia that Krystie had tried so hard to leave behind. Krystie's relationship with Lucian was built on trust, but there was one secret she had kept from him, her true identity as the heir to one of the most notorious mafia families in the country. Lucian had no idea of her background, believing her to be an ordinary orphaned woman with a straigh
Because you loved me 46.
Krystie had always thought of her godfather, Xavier, as a pillar of trust and support ever since the tragic loss of her parents in a mysterious accident. He had been her confidant, her rock in a sea of uncertainty, and not only that but also a role model to her in the field of medicine ever since she was young. Krystie has always shared with her godfather everything she was working on concerning the investigations as he had promised her that he would be more than willing to offer her any kind of support she might require from him. But lately, something had shifted in their relationship. At first, it was subtle. A fleeting glance here, a hesitant response there. But as time passed, Krystie couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It was as if Xavier was wearing a mask, hiding behind a facade of concern while concealing something darker beneath the surface. It was during one of their regular meet-ups at a cozy cafe that Krystie began to notice the discrepancies. As she po

"Krystie... Krystie, please don't leave me, I am very sorry," Lucian only called to the disappearing silhouette, but that was until he heard the shutting of the door did it finally occurred to him that she had left, yes, his wife had left him all alone, just because of what happened in the past many years. Frustrated, Lucian swiped the bowls of food across the room, sending the meals crashing all over the room, with soup covering the whole floor; he was so angry, angry with himself, angry with everything that happened seven years ago, and finally, he stumbled and sat on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Lucian, it has already been a month yet you have never been to the company, don't you think that it is high time that you move on, she's gone, and will never come back again," Ronnie tried to convince a drunk Lucian, he had been drinking for two weeks now. Ever since Krystie left him that day, he had never been to his house, always sleeping in the bar; he was so shabby that one might easily

"Your husband Lucian was the lawyer who defended your father's killer seven years ago, and even your sister Chloe is aware of it." The notification read. Krystie drove all the way home, her heart racing, sweat dripping down her face. Krystie had only one hope as she drove to her house; she was hoping against hope that all this was not the truth; she could already feel her heart shattering into a million pieces, imagining how betrayed she would feel as a result. Krystie's heart pounded as she sifted through the old newspaper clippings she had found on her house's notice board. With trembling hands, she unfolded an article dated seven years ago, the headline blaring the name of the man who had shattered her world: "Local Lawyer Secures Acquittal for Murderer." Her eyes widened in disbelief as she read the name beneath the headline, Lucian Wilson, her husband. A wave of nausea washed over her, and she stumbled backward, collapsing onto a nearby chair. "How could this be? Luc

"Krystie, do you by any chance have any idea who is the person who rescued you? I have been trying to find him, but I can't place exactly who the person is?" Lucian asked when he couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. Even though Krystie was unconscious by then, Lucian could not help but ask, it was already a week ever since the incident yet there was not a single person who had gone forward to claim they did it, after all in his world no one does a thing for free, they would either demand fit one or two things at the end. "No, no one that I know as of the moment," Krystie replied hurriedly and walked away; she was not so good at lying, and she was afraid she would be found out if she were to stay a single second. Krystie could remember very well the face of the guy who had rescued her from the kidnappers, she had just regained her consciousness as soon as the van had halted in the middle of the road, and she had thought they were involved in an accident, but that was until she

"Who are you, and what do you mean by my wife has been captured?" Lucian roared angrily as he stood up in a go. "About who I am, I don't think that is important at the moment, but you should action immediately before they can go far. If anything happened to Krystie, trust me Lucian, I would never forgive you," an angry voice thundered at the other end of the call before it was immediately hung up. "Ronnie, prepare the car immediately, and get some of our men," Lucian roared over the phone, as he immediately checked a notification on his phone. "Regal Avenue. In ten minutes." The notification that had popped on Lucian's phone read. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Who are you, and what exactly do you want," the car tires screeched to a halt in the middle of a deserted road, just off the main city. "Who I am is not very important right now. I want the girl," the shabbily dressed middle-aged man spoke as he stood before the van. "Who do you think you are old man, if I may advise you, you sh

"Mark, do you think everything is okay with the hospital, I find some things to be suspicious?" Krystie asked; she wanted to find out whether Mark, too, had taken notice of such a thing. In the past week, ever since Krystie and Chloe had visited their godfather, there had been quite a lot going on in the hospital, including a thorough check on the patients and the staff in general and an inquiry they would only be informed that that was the order from above, for security purposes. It just didn't make any sense to have a hospital thoroughly checked, more so the patients, unless there was something planned behind the scenes or they were using the check as a blindfold to assure the public that everything was alright when it was not. "Yeah, you are right," Mark spoke as he scratched his head as he recollected the past week's events; that has always been his habit ever since they were young; anytime he would try to recollect something, he would always scratch his head in the process. "

"Sir, I think there is a problem," Ben, the Big boss's assistant walked into the room without a knock, the smoke in the room made him choke on his breath, he had just received an important message from one of his groundsmen, and he could not just act on his own without the boss order as this was such a crucial matter. "What is it? The big boss asked uninterestedly; under normal circumstances, it was always Ben who was always dealing with issues, and he would only forward hard matters to him. "Sir, I just received news that your daughter is now married," Ben said in one go. "Yeah, I know. Wait, what?" The big boss asked as he stood up in a go. "Yes sir, it's the truth, and it's already six months since they got married, but they have been keeping it a secret since then, we have just found it now," Ben spoke as he took his distance from the boss because only he knew better than anyone what the big boss could do if he were to waste a single moment. "What are you talking about
Because you loved me 39. Chloe finds evidence.
Chloe sat at the table, she had a lot running through her mind, and she was not sure how she was supposed to react to this new revelation.Chloe could take it in, but she was not sure how Krystie would react if she were to hear any of this.Secrets lingered like ghosts in the mist, haunting her, but what confused her more was how she was supposed to reveal all these secrets to Krystie, and the most suffocating of all was that she could not keep the secret forever to herself because even if she were to hide it from her, sooner or later Krystie would find out the truth, and thinking of it, it would be far worse than she could think of.It was only last night that Krystie had informed her that she and Lucian had decided to take their relationship to the next level, to make their marriage more real, not just a contract as it was before.Chloe and Krystie, sisters bound together since conception in their mother's womb had an unspoken rule between them, no secrets between each other.But ben
