When Helen arrived at the house, Crystal felt like everything had changed. She had fallen in love with Nathan, but when she discovered that the other woman was pregnant, all of her insecurities came rushing back to her. It felt like everything that he had done for her had been in a dream.
In that dream, she was like a child who had stolen ice cream, stolen happiness and had then, finally, been told that it was just a dream. The ice cream and happiness had been nothing but a dream.
Nathan looked at Crystal and said, “If anyone dares to touch you, I will kill them.”
“Including Eric?” Crystal asked. She carefully eyed Nathan so that she could gauge his response.
Nathan leaned forward and grabbed her shoulders, and she was overwhelmed by his hot breat
Crystal smiled at Helen and said, “Helen, I will ask Aunt Susie to help you downstairs. You are not familiar with this place. After a few days, the room in the manor will be set up. You can live there.” Having said that, she arranged her clothes and went downstairs.As soon as Crystal reached the landing, a man grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall. There was a loud bang as the back of her head cracked the plaster, she screamed from the pain, and when she opened her eyes, her vision was hazy. “Wh-Wh-Who’s th-there?” she stammered.“It’s Eric,” said Eric.Crystal: “What a coincidence that you should show up at the same time that I’m here….”Eric: “It’s not a coincidence. I came h
The tension between Nathan and Eric was palpable.Crystal shook her head helplessly. She had hoped that, now that Helen was in the picture, things would get easier. Boy, had she been wrong? She had no wish to be standing between them any longer than necessary, so she said, “I’m going to go to the living room,” and then she walked into the living room. Anyway, if they were going to fight, she couldn’t do anything to stop it.Because Helen was moving in, two servants from the Bush family and several bodyguards were helping her with her luggage. The bodyguards came in and out without a word between them. Meanwhile, the servants were following them around, saying, “Be careful.” and, “Don’t break anything.” and, “That&rsq
(Triggered Warning: This chapter contains a sexual scene and inappropriate words. If you're not comfortable reading it kindly skip it and move to another chapter)Nathan allowed the enchanting woman to slap him across the face seven times. Then he threw her on the bed and gave her a grumpy look. “Have you had enough?” he asked as he unbuttoned his black shirt to reveal his tanned pecs and the scratches on his neck and collarbone.“It’s not enough!” Crystal shouted. She thought - I could hit you a million times, and it still would not be enough! His old lover, Helen, had moved into their house with her servant, and she was pregnant with his child. This invasion of her space was unquestionably his fault, and although she had slapped him seven times
With all of the people in the house, it had become too small for Nathan’s liking. He had several estates to his name, and he had chosen the largest on purpose so that they would not be disturbed. But still...Now, with Eric’s attempt to hit Crystal, he had to reconsider shutting down the island. He wanted to lock Crystal up, and he didn’t intend to let any other men see her, especially after the afternoon they’d shared. He wanted to keep her in his arms, but Helen was here, so he couldn’t show her too much affection at the table.Crystal stretched her legs under the table, though. She rubbed his foot with hers, and that was more than enough for now.Hellen looked at her nanny, smiled, and said, “Miss Smith must be tired. Fill up her
After dinner, Nathan went upstairs to take a shower, and while he was detained, a car pulled up in the driveway. Helen’s family doctor had arrived, and he had several of his assistants with him.When Nanny Elma saw the car, she called Helen into the living room and said, “Helen, your family doctor is here. Mrs. Bush has ordered regular, daily examinations for you, along with some regular tests like taking your temperature and blood pressure.”“Okay.” Helen sat down on the couch and said, “Let him in.”****The doctor’s manner was cautious, and as he held a stethoscope to Helen’s chest, he asked her if anything was bothering her. “Mrs. Davis,” he said. “I am your doctor, so
Once the business with the doctor was over, Nathan picked Crystal up and carried her to their bedroom. Once there, he swept the skincare products from the makeup table to the floor, and then he put her on it. “Are you satisfied now?” he asked as he spread her legs and pressed his manh**d against her pubic mound.Crystal curled her lips and said, “No, I’m not satisfied.” Her collar was made from elastic, and Nathan tugged it down, over her shoulders, past her taut breasts, and let it rest below her abdomen. Then he leaned over and took her nipple into his mouth.After suckling for a couple of minutes, Nathan straightened up and smiled impishly.“How about now?” he asked.Crystal growled and called him a rascal as he gently pinched
Once the bodyguards were gone, Crystal changed her clothes, and then she was ready to go out and buy some emergency birth control. When Nathan initially mentioned having a baby, she’d gotten a bad case of baby fever, but it hadn’t lasted long. She wasn’t ready to get pregnant and have a baby, and she knew it. And everything she had said to Helen and her nanny had been nothing but a ruse to get Elma riled up.As Crystal left the house, Vic followed her. She frowned as she turned to face him. “I think you are tailing the wrong person,” she said.Vic: “Nope. Mr. Davis asked me to follow you for a while.”Crystal: “You don’t have to follow me. I will give you the day off today. Why not? It is such a nice day. You should be out enjoying it!”
Serenity was so surprised by Crystal’s news that she didn’t know what to say. It all sounded very traumatic, and she doubted that anyone else could have handled it as well as Crystal had. She thought If another girl had been faced with such obstacles, she might have had to hide in some corner.Serenity was worried about Crystal, but she didn’t want to stress her friend out any more than she probably already was, so she decided to change the subject. “By the way,” she said. “How are your preparations for the written exam going?”Crystal frowned and groaned slightly. “I forgot about it,” she admitted. “There has just been so much going on lately…”Serenity: “Don’t worry. There is still some time to go before the exam, and we can work
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.
