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.

    Krystie stirred awake, the scent of something delicious pulling her from slumber. Blinking away sleep, she opened her eyes but with the harsh light, she closed it as she tried to adjust to the harsh sun rays.'How long did I sleep?' Krystie asked no one in particular when she realized that it was already almost noon. Sleepily, she sat up on the bed, she could remember last night's events, and thinking of everything that had just happened, she felt embarrassed with herself, it was already shocking enough that even though even when she was drunk she could remember it.Krystie took a glance at herself only to find herself in Lucian's shirt, the fabric warm against her skin. Good thing Lucian was much taller than her so the shirt was a mini dress for her. Without bothering to slip on shoes, she followed the enticing aroma to the kitchen, while rubbing her eyes sleepily.When Krystie reached the kitchen, she was met with the best sight she had ever seen all her, Lucian was only putting on s

It was evident that she was waiting for Lucian, Krystie was not a fool to not have known her intentions.~~~~~~~~~Cassandra was feeling so annoyed with the security guards at the D&LW company for not allowing her in. She had explained to them that she was Lucian's girlfriend yet no one believed her, instead they just laughed at her."All of you just wait, I would have you all chased when I finally get to be the young mistress, she thought with a smirk on her face as she sat by the shade to wait for Lucian

There was a pin-drop silence as everyone watched him in the shadows, each one of them already knew the end for Daniel, it was either he would be shot dead or thrown in a pool full of piranhas just outside their warehouse. "I have already accomplished the mission sir, I investigated the area and I just found out that there is only one person who always stays around the hospital, and after further investigations, I realized that it is a madman, and he was the same guy who saw us that day," Dan spoke in all seriousness to the boss as he passed the footage of the guy to the Ben, the big boss's assistant who in turn passed it to the boss who sat in the shadows.

    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

    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.
