Crystal Blues, a young woman from a low-class family, endured the tragic loss of her parents when she was just twelve years old. Left with the weighty responsibility of caring for her younger sisters, she faced a challenging path ahead. Fortune smiled upon her when her path crossed with an archangel in the name of Mervin Brooklyn who offered his assistance, thus lightening the burden she bore. As fate would have it, Crystal eventually obtained evidence pointing to her parents' murderers, only to discover that they were part of a formidable and powerful family. Life took an even more complicated turn when she found herself entangled in a complex love triangle. Her affections were torn between Mervin, her guardian archangel, and the daughter of the family responsible for her parents' demise. Fuelled by a burning desire to bring the responsible family to justice, Crystal made the bold decision to reveal the damning evidence she held against them. However, the tables quickly turned, and Crystal's loved ones were thrust into jeopardy, becoming bargaining chips in exchange for the proof of the family's wrongdoing. Now, she stands at a harrowing crossroads, forced to make a life-altering choice that could either rescue her from impending tragedy or condemn her to a painful repetition of history.

She reached for her bag and picked out her phone. Her eyes flicked over the phone as her fingers swiped lazily, scrolling through the endless updates.Her eyes suddenly caught something.BILLIONAIRE IN DISTRESS.Reading the title of the update, she paused. Her car suddenly passed on a porthole making her tap on the video unintentionallyShe sighed again and lifted her finger to press the back button, but her finger froze when Mervin's face popped on her screen, his face pale and lips slightly parted and trembling , his voice was like a broken record that it was hard for her to understand what he was saying.Her face turned red immediately and a smirk appeared on her face and she scoffed. "Damn it," she muttered under her breath as her stomach twisted.She was frustrated.She scoffed again, flinging the phone to the seat beside h
Crystal walked out of the cafe after a thirty minutes cry in the restroom. By then, Mrs Brooklyn had long left. She stood at the entrance, her eyes scanning the street as she waited for her driver.She hadn't used bodyguards in a long time. She feared for their life and after Miss Betty left the mansion, she could no longer trust anyone.It was one of the guards that revealed where she lived to Miranda and at many occasions, the same bodyguards have sold information about her to the Griffins.And by the way, she had nothing to lose now."Look who we have here," a familiar voice rang in her ear.'What a day' Crystal thought as she took a deep breath.She pulled out her phone and dialed her driver’s number again.“Hello, what…"A hand snatched the phone from her ear. Crystal turned to face him, Teddy, he stood just a foot away.“Teddy, what more do you want from me?” she asked, her voice calm, but her eyes sharp.He licked his lower lip, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.“Yo
Crystal slowly walked into the cafe. At every step she took, her legs felt heavy to carry her feet. Her body felt heavy to he carried by her tiny legs. At a moment she wished she could just turn back and go home, but she didn't want to behave like a coward."If I turn back now," she thought, "I’ll just be dragged into the mess when Mervin’s not looking. I can’t let that happen."She took a deep breath then pushed forwards..Earlier that morning, Mervin had left for work, and a few hours ago, she received a call from Mrs. Brooklyn. Her mother-in-law had asked to meet her at the café at 2 p.m., "Don't tell my son" her words were clear.Crystal knew this meeting should be unpleasant, but she couldn't refuse. She was her daughter in-law after all.Taking the stairs to the second floor, Crystal spotted Mrs. Brooklyn at the table by the window. The woman’s face was buried in her laptop, a glass of juice resting untouched by her side.Crystal stood frozen for a moment. Memories of when she
Crystal yanked her hand from Mervin. She pressed one hand in her waist and put the other hand on her head, running her fingers in her hair."Seriously? Mervin, why are you doing this to me?" She spat."I can't even get pregnant anymore. My uterus was removed" Her voice was cracked.Mervin's chest rises and falls. He was frustrated. 'You have to choose between the mother and the baby' The words the doctor said to him a few years ago became fresh.He looked at Crystal then he swallowed hard. His eyes were bitters but he blinked rapidly, forcing himself not to cry. It was a miracle that Crystal was alive.Yes, she had played a dirty game on him by hiding the fact that their daughter survived, but one or both could have lost their lives back then."Then what?" He muttered.He learned against the wall,"Why can't we just keep living as we have been? Did I love you so you could be a baby factory?" His words cut through the silence.Crystal shaggers her shoulder. She shook her head in disb
It was a Monday morning, the airport bustled with people moving to and fro. Some dragging their luggage carriers while some with small traveling bags in their hands. Outside the entrance, all types of designed cars pulled out then zoomed off. The airport was filled with deafening noise.Few moments later, a Rolls Royce and a black jeep come to a halt.Four men in black suits alighted from the jeep, two spread out and one walked to the Rolls Royce and opened the passenger's seat while the other man stood guard as Tranny and his parents alighted from the car.A faint sigh escaped Tranny partly parted lips and his eyes roamed around the surroundings. His eyes had lost the spark and he looked a bit thinner.From their house to Harry Reid International airport was a 30 minutes drive but Tranny looked exhausted as if he had been in the car for 30 days.Only two days had passed since he accepted to go to Germany and his parents had done everything possible to secure him a plane to his des
The sun had just risen, casting a soft glow across the street. Outside the small restaurant, cars passed by and a few were parked outside. Birds chirped in the distance filling the silence.Inside the restaurant, the Private dining room specifically, Bryan sat with his hands resting on the table. He looked at the huge clock on the wall and a slight sigh escaped his lips.It's been an hour since he arrived. He had agreed to meet Miranda at 7am, but she was not yet here.'I hope she isn't planning to make a fool out of me' He wondered.Of course there is a high chance she might not come. Bryan shook his head.'No, of course she will come, because of those papers' he thought to himself.Just yesterday, he had sent court papers to Miranda concerning the custody of Mirade. He wished to be in his daughter's life, but since Miranda was being stubborn, he decided to get his rights through the court.The door to the room opened exposing a slim figure, Miranda. She wore a simple baggy trouser
Crystal looked around the house, and a faint sigh escaped from her. The echoes of laughter that once filled the house were replaces by deadly silence.It had been more than a month since Chloe and her sisters vanished, yet the pain in her heart felt as fresh as the day she lost them.She opened the door to Chloe's room. Despite the cleanness in it, the emptyness of her heart was never filled. The empty bed stark a reminder of what was missing.Chloe's smiles , Camilla's infectious laughter and Cullen's jists. Everything was gone.Her heart was a desolated wasteland. Crystal Squeezed her eyes shut, fighting away the tears that threatened to escape their cage."What are you doing here Crystal" Mervin's voice jolted Crystal back to reality.From the window , she turned and faced Mervin with red eyes.Mervin's lips were slightly parted. He took gentle steps towards her before standing before Crystal."For how long will you keep this up Crystal? Its high time we move on" Crystal stayed si
The VIP room smelled different. Its walls were white and clean. Not even a single stain could be seen on the walls. The room provided a comforting and reassuring atmosphere to the patient and guardian.A carpet covered the whole room, and in the center of the room was a bed with an IV stand beside it. A drip was connected to the stand with a small pipe, correcting the content from the drip to the hand of the unconscious Crystal laying on the bed lifeless.Mervin sat alone beside the bed, holding Crystal's hand tightly. At every passing second, he let out a shallow breath.Everything seems like a dream to him, he was finding it hard to process the fact that he had failed Crystal.Guilty crept all over his body like his second skin.A faint sob jolted him back from his dreamland. Mervin raised his head to the bed, meeting Crystal's eyes wide open."Crystal," he whispered.Just as if she had been death stated,tears gashed out of Crystal's eyes like and all season spring.Seeing Crystal l
The morning breeze was refreshing; birds were chirping in the trees as maids and guards were moving back and forth, doing their assigned work. Inside the mansion, a breath-taking aroma was perceived, and anyone whose nose got struck by such an aroma will surely crave to have a test. In the kitchen, Mervin was standing before the cooker with a turning stick in his hand. He had an apron tied in his waist, and some strands of his hair were stuck to his face. He was feeling hot and was sweating. He stilled into the pot gently before walking to one of the cabins. He opened the cabin and took out two bowls. Reaching the cooker, he picked up a serving spoon and dishes out a little portion of the food into one of the bowls. Mervin dropped the serving spoon before picking up a soup spoon and dug into the bowl. "Mmmh," he moaned. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. He dropped the bowl into the sink, then turned off the gas. He dished the food into the clean bowl and pr
"Crystal! You won't believe what is being broadcast worldwide now!" Cullen, Crystal's younger sister shouted from the living room. Crystal, whose eyes were swollen due to a restless night, stopped scattering her clothes all over the room as she dragged her exhausted body down the ground from her bed and found her way to the living room. She had been searching for a dinner dress to wear in the evening for her boyfriend's wedding. Yes, she has a boyfriend. But since her boyfriend's parents do not consider her as a marriage candidate to their son, today, Mervin Brooklyn, the only heir to the LV Corporation, was getting married to Miranda Griffin. A model and heiress to the Griffin group. The third successful group in Las Vegas after LV Corporation and BG Group.
