Eric sighed and said, “You may as well get back on the bike. This conversation isn’t going anywhere, so I may as well take you to school.”

When Serenity saw Crystal pull up in front of the school on the back of a motorbike, she rushed out to see if anything was wrong. Once she got to the curb, she said, “Crystal, I was so worried about you last night. I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. I was scared to death.” Then she saw Eric and was immediately distracted by his good looks. “Is that Eric?” she asked.
“This is Eric,” Crystal replied. “I’m sorry I didn’t return your tests. I got my period, so I went to bed early.”
Serenity: “What on ea
Tiffany had lost her sincere smile, but she quickly replaced it with a false one. She turned to Serenity and said, “I’m going to change my shift right away, so why don’t you and Crystal join me for a bite to eat?” Then, she turned back to Crystal and said, “There are some things that I want to talk to you about anyway.”Crystal wanted to say no because she didn’t want to share a meal with Tiffany, but she wanted to hear what the woman had to say. So, after signing up, Crystal and Serenity followed Tiffany out of the school. As they were leaving, Serenity remembered that she had to stay at school and meet up with one of her teachers, so the other two walked to a nearby restaurant without her.As they walked, Tiffany said, “The selection process for the Host position is very competitive. I have several related books
Crystal stood up, nodded to her father, and said, “Alright then, I should get going.”“Wait!” Todd exclaimed, practically shouting. “I have something to tell you...”Crystal sighed impatiently and said, “Go ahead.”Todd: “Crystal, after your mother committed suicide, I went to see her psychologist.”Crystal froze. “You did?”“I did,” Todd replied. “And he said that guilt was the cause of her depression. She was cheating on her investments.”Crystal: “Wait a minute. Are you saying that she got depressed because she was cheating on her investments?”
It wasn’t long before a man passed by her. He was a burly man, and he was wearing a black suit. When he realized that he had lost Crystal, he stopped and looked around.Crystal peeked around the tree to try to identify the man stalking her and immediately recognized him as one of Nathan’s bodyguards. She didn’t like it when Nathan treated her like a child, and she decided to get rid of this stalker.The stalker slipped into the bakery to see if Crystal had gone in there, and the minute he was out of sight, she made a mad dash to the bookstore.The bookstore had a total of three floors, and each floor stored books for different ages. For example, economics and professional books were on the first floor. Crystal checked some information on the internet by herself and selected several popular books ba
Once Richard was satisfied with the arrangements in the nearly empty warehouse, he pulled a chair over to where Crystal was tied up. She tried to look away, but he grabbed her chin and forced her to turn her head in his direction. There was a shark-like Cheshire grin plastered to his face, and his eyes had a wicked gleam to them.He “Booped” her nose with the index finger on his free hand. “Look at everything I’ve set up for you. Today will be your first day on set, and I promise you that it will be a blast.” He chuckled and said, “It will be for me at least. Anyway, be obedient, and I promise to make this film as beautiful as I possibly can. Do you understand?”Crystal refused to answer his question, and while Richard was momentarily distracted, she turned her head and bit into the tender flesh between his thumb
(Warning: This chapter contains inappropriate words. If you're not comfortable reading it kindly skip it and move to another chapter)Crystal tried to push the man away, but he was like a brick house. “You can’t escape,” he said. “But if you show these dogs a little enthusiasm, we’ll let you go.”Behind the lights, Crystal could hear Richard laughing. He sounded like a madman or a villain from a comic book, like The Joker or Madcap.“If you are good to the dogs, they will be good to you,” the man continued. “They don’t want to bite you. They only want to fuck you.” Crystal wrapped her arms around her knees.Even fully dressed, she felt completely exposed.
Nathan sighed as he knelt beside Crystal. He tenderly tucked her hair behind her ears and gently said her name. “You are safe now,” he said. “The danger has passed.”Crystal hung her head. Such was her shame that it seemed impossible to look him in the eyes. Nathan touched her chin, though, and lifted it. “Say something,” he said. “You can do it. Don’t let that man get to you. If you do, he wins.”Still, she could not meet his eyes, and when he finally realized that he wasn’t going to make any more progress at this time, he sighed and said, “Shall we go to bed?”When she didn’t reply, he picked her up and laid her on the bed, tucked her in, and crawled in beside her. She buried her face on his chest, and he gently stroked her hair with his
When Crystal heard this, she shook her head back and forth violently, but he insisted that she must, that it was for her own good.Nathan led Crystal into Richard’s hospital room, and when he got to his bed, he slapped his fist down on his genital area: Where his c*ck and balls had been only hours before.Richard shrieked, and a nearby doctor rushed in. “What’s going on here?” he demanded.Richard looked back and forth nervously between the doctor and Nathan. His face had turned completely white. “What happened to my manh**d?” he cried, horrified.“I don’t know what happened,” the doctor admitted. “You must have really pissed someone off.” Nathan and Carter chuckled when they heard this particular turn of
A luxurious plane picked Crystal and Nathan up from the mall’s roof. It had a luxurious interior, and it was more like the interior of a presidential suite than any plane Crystal had previously been on. It had a full apartment suite, complete with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, jacuzzi tub, recreation area, and bedroom. They were both tired, so they went straight to the bedroom to lay down.Before long, they were both asleep, and they didn’t wake up until the plane was landing in Harbour City, where the rock show was to take place.****Nothing was too good for Crystal, so Nathan had spared no expense to ensure that they had the best seats in the house. All around them, the crowd was going crazy. They were shouting, “Louis! Louis! Louis!” And Crystal was screaming right along
Crystal looked at Mrs. Bush in a trance.“Amos Davis is…”Eric stood up and pressed the wound with a swab of alcohol.“Is Amos Davis Nathan’s father?” Crystal asked again.“Yes.” Eric looked down at her. “Are you surprised?”“So you and Nathan...”“You have a good imagination. We are not related.”“What about the child?”“Isn’t it obvious? The child’s death was the main cause of her nervous breakdown.” Eric held out his injured hand and said, “Honey, aren’t yo
At night, Crystal woke up sweating from her nightmare.The servant somehow slipped down on the carpet and fell asleep by the door.Crystal opened her eyes in tears. It was dark and still. She looked down at the overlapping lights, her heart aching as if she had been sliced open by razor blades.She tiptoed out of bed and picked up the phone from the bedside table.She walked barefoot into the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and stared at the black screen for a while.A week before, she had lost control of herself and seemed to have unconsciously dialed the number she had branded at her fingertips.But there came a female voice without feeling:
Eric looked at Crystal in shock.“You can rest assured that these small cuts will not affect the child’s physical health. And it won’t affect your revenge on Nathan!” Crystal said happily, her jaw suddenly strangled.Eric clutched her jaw tightly. “I thought you were a strong woman, but you’re just so vulnerable.”“That’s right. I’m vulnerable. Didn’t you know that?”That was why Eric asked the servant to put the blades away.Just now, it was also the servant who heard that Crystal was looking for the blade, so she rushed to find Eric immediately.Looking at the sweat on his forehead, the way he was out of bre
Inside the villa, doctors came in and out. Luckily, Eric sent Crystal into his car, and he gave her warm measures in time and kept her cold feet warm.“Miss Smith and the baby are fine. But Miss Smith was cold and somewhat weak. As for her feet, it’s taboo to touch cold water in this weather,” replied the doctor. “You’d better help her now, help her to activate her blood lest she might fall off rheumatism when she is older.Eric had Crystal’s feet rubbed by himself with the best essential oil.Crystal fell asleep in a daze. Her tears never stopped, as though she had dreamt of something sad.Her dry lips moved, calling someone’s name.Eric got close enough to hear her.
Crystal seemed to see Nathan staring at her with an angry face in her bewilderment.Her heart was beating wildly across her chest. She broke down and wanted to reach out and let him take her away.Suddenly, she didn’t want to take care of anything. She was not as strong as she thought.She just wanted a man who loved her, and she loved. She wanted to be cared for, have a child, and live a simple life. But the next second, the figure turned into Eric.He held down the handrail of the wooden bridge and jumped into the lake.Splash! Splash!Several bodyguards also jumped down one after another.Eric quickly walked over to her, took
Vic came in from the outside and was quite surprised to see this scene.He had expected Nathan’s return to make up with Crystal.Crystal was thrown into the bathroom, and her body crashed against the cold porcelain wall.Nathan hadn’t given up yet, even though she had made it so clearly.He picked up a birdbath and jabbed it into her hand. “Pee.”Crystal held the basin. “Do you want to check, and then you give up and let me go?”“Now!”He tugged at her trousers.Crystal went out today wearing suspenders, and Nathan took off her coat and stripp
Crystal pulled away from his hand hard and turned to leave.He instantly retrieved her body, and she hit him hard on the chest.Nathan held her tightly, his last icy line collapsed.“Don’t go. Don’t leave me.” He said.This man, who had just been proud and arrogant, was momentarily weak again.Crystal was not feeling any better, and her heart was trembling.“I miss you so much. I’ve been thinking about you, Crystal, every minute of the day. My life was dull and sad. I function every day, but I’m dying inside,” His voice, with the hot air, blew in her ear.Crystal felt as
A man was sitting with his legs crossing on the dark blue leather sofa, silent and noble in the living room.Crystal stood at the door, only by seeing him at a glance did she want to run away. However, her feet were like a tree with deep roots, so steady and heavy that she could not move it a little.Every night, the man she saw in her dream was now sitting in front of her. The man put out the cigarette and said casually, “Miss Smith, here you are.”The voice was like thunder, which immediately woke Crystal up.She jerked around to leave…“Miss Smith, don’t you want your watch back?” Nathan’s cold voice sounded again.It’s him!
“More than 20 years?” Nancy didn’t understand. “That is to say, I’ve been waiting to meet you since I was born,” he gave Nancy a charming smile, “You’re in a cold sweat, am I so horrible?” Nancy shook her head, “No...” “I don’t want to be someone you’re afraid of,” he kissed on the back of Nancy’s hand, “I just want to be a big tree, to provide shade and shelter for you.” Nancy lowered her head in a panic, dared not look at him. That’s so unreal, and such dreamlike happiness would catch everyone unprepared, especially someone a boy crazy like Nancy. Marcos was like a noble prince; no woman could resist his charm and tenderness.
