Once they were alone, Nathan examined Crystal from head to toe. “Are you sure that you are okay?”
“I’m fine,” Crystal said. “I think I’d like to go for a walk, though.”
Nathan scooped up her hand and said that he would join her. She pushed him away, though, and told him that she wanted to be alone.
“But it’s not safe,” Nathan argued.
Crystal: “I don’t care. This villa feels like a prison, and it’s not like I’m any safer in here than I would be out there, as today has shown us.”
“Why do you feel like this place is a prison?” Nathan asked.
Crystal sighed and wordlessly turned
Helen smiled as she brought the phone to her ear and said hello to her Grandfather.The old Davis: “Helen, have you settled down? How is everything? Are you used to living there yet?”Helen: “I’m fine. Christine is here. Everything is good, so don’t worry.”The old Davis: “Okay. I feel better knowing that Christine is there with you.”Helen: “Thank you, grandpa.”The old Davis: “Does Nathan treat you well?”“Um...” Helen hesitated for a moment too long.The old Davis: “Put him on the phone.”Hele
The carriage stopped at a white building, and Nathan helped Crystal down.In front of the building, there was a fountain with a statue of a mermaid. She was holding a shell and spraying pearls.The building’s door was a crystal curtain, and the ceiling had been designed to reflect the sun’s light into the building. Where am I? - Crystal wondered.Nathan nodded to a servant, and she pulled open the crystal curtain to reveal a large, indoor, natural hot spring. Mermaids surrounded the pool, and each of them held shells, which, like the one outside, spewed water.In the center were two naked angels. Their wings were spread, and they were hugging each other. Above the pool, the ceiling was transparent. It was made from white tempered glass. At the flick of a swit
When Christine heard that it was possible to mix a love potion, her face lit up. She looked down at Helen and said, “This is such great news. Where can I get it?”“You can’t get it,” Helen replied sadly. “Sorry to get your hopes up...”“That’s a pity.” Christine pouted and said, “Such a potion could have come in handy....” Then, seeing Helen on the balcony, one of the maids brought her a cup of rose tea. She accepted it with thanks, and then she said, “I haven’t seen Nathan and Crystal for a while. Do you know where they are?”The maid nodded and said, “They went out to the stables, and they’ve taken the carriage out. Perhaps they went to the hot spring...”Christi
Elma came over to Helen, and as she cut her steak, she said, “You’ll like this. The chef said that it’s cut from superior Grade A Alberta Beef.”Christine cut a piece, put it into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed. “Mmm...” she moaned. “Fresh and juicy.” Hers was cooked medium rare, which was how she liked it, but she felt like the texture of this particular cut of meat was different from all of the other steaks she had eaten before.Helen’s steak was well-done, though, and she did not notice any difference. She enjoyed the steak, but since she’d gotten pregnant, she’d had a poor appetite. Thus, she didn’t know if the reason she was enjoying her steak was that it was delicious or because she was so hungry that, at that moment, she would have enjoyed anything she put into her mouth. Thus, to
“Aren’t you going to take the pills yourself?” Christine asked. She looked Vic in the eyes and said, “I bet you want to take them, you pervert!”Without warning, Vic backhanded Christine across the face. “No more games!” he shouted. “Give me the fucking medicine. If you don’t, there will be more of that in your future!”Vic raised his hand in the air to show that he was serious, and when Christine saw it, her whole body began to shake. “Alright,” she cried. “I’ll give it to you,” and without any further action, she retrieved the bottle from her private pocket and handed it to Vic. “There. Are you happy?!?!”Vic shrugged and held the bottle up for Nathan to see. “Happy enough,” he replied. Now that he had
Nathan’s ire began to rise when he saw what was in the box. It was a tusk from a wild boar, the 500 kilograms boar that he’d killed when he was only nine years old. As he stared at it, his mind began to flood with images from that day, and his head began to ache. “My pills!” he cried. “I need my pills!”Nathan pressed against his temples with his knuckles. It felt like his heart was in a clamp, and it was getting tighter. He grabbed at Vic’s jacket as the pain brought him to his knees.Vic turned and glared at Christine, and when he saw that she was smiling, he wanted to kill her. “You little bitch!” he roared. “You did this! It is all your fault!”Christine chuckled and said, “Chill your tits, Daddy-o.” Then, much to his surprise, she pro
(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)Vic had been standing guard outside Nathan and Crystal’s room all night, and by the time the sun began to rise, he was famished. There hadn’t been any problems all night, and it seemed that everyone was asleep, so he didn’t see any reason not to go downstairs and toast himself a bagel. He was only gone for about three minutes, but when he returned, he immediately regretted going. From the hallway, he could hear what was going on in the bedroom, and he knew right away what had happened: The medication that Christine had given him was not the antipsychotic his boss usually took. Now the other Nathan was in control; the He who called himself Gerald.Vic let the bagel drop to the floor,
Crystal looked up at Nathan and said, “I love Nathan, not you!” Nathan growled and said, “Nathan is dead, and I don’t need your love. It is your body that I want.”Crystal: “I gave him my body, and I would rather die than give it to you!”Nathan: How about if I take your body. And kill you?”“No...” Crystal cried. “Please. This isn’t you... Don’t you know that you’re Nathan?!?!” As she struggled, her hand brushed past the glass of water on the nightstand. She focused on it, and by using what little strength she had left, she was able to splash it in his handsome face. Dripping wet, he was super sexy. Unfortunately, though, he was not acting very sexy.Nathan tore the glass from her
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.
