Crystal did not know what to say. She felt like she was in a real bind. She thought - I don’t want to tell him that I care about him, but if I refuse, he may never let me go...
“I’ll be happy if you say that you care about me,” Nathan continued. “Why must you torture me so...? Haven’t I done enough to prove my love for you?”
“You have done enough for me,” Crystal admitted. She glared at him and said, “Similarly, you have done enough for Helen. Do you deny it?”
Nathan rolled his eyes and said, “You have always been jealous. I forgot about that.”
“Jealous?” Crystal scoffed. “I am not jealous. I am hurt... You hurt me...&rdquo
Crystal was a little startled by just how cheeky, and sly Nathan was, not to mention how manipulative. He had set a trap for her, and he was so confident that she would fall into it that he had put his life on the line - Supposedly. Now that she realized that his suicide attempt was nothing but a game, she was able to compose herself. She would not allow herself to fall victim to his devious plan.She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, shook her head, and said, “I don’t love you. I never did, and I never will.”To Crystal’s surprise, Nathan pressed the knife back into his chest, and he twisted it so that the bloody wound became bigger. He was gripping the handle so tightly that his knuckles turned white.There was an evil shine in Nathan’s eyes and a creepy little smile on his face. &ldquo
Crystal wriggled her eyebrows playfully as she turned and returned Nancy’s smile. “What’s going on between you and Noah?” she wondered.Nancy’s smile turned to a frown, and she said, “I don’t know what you mean.”“Don’t play coy with me,” Crystal chided her. “Clark likes him, and he relies on him. I always see him following Noah around. The boy may as well be his shadow. So, please tell me what you think about him! You must have some feelings for him. After all, you married him!”Noah’s back was stiff. He was pretending that he could not hear their conversation, but it was getting harder by the minute.“Well...” Nancy sighed. “I didn’t expect him and Clark to becom
Nancy was taken aback when she heard the recording of Crystal professing her love for Nathan. “O.M.G.!” she gushed. “You’ve finally admitted it! I’ve always known that you love him!”Crystal was mortified.Nathan turned to Nancy. He smiled and said, “Miss Carter.”Nancy was amazed. She had been friends with Crystal for a long time, but in all that time, Nathan had hardly looked at her, and he had never spoken to her. This sudden attention made her afraid. “Wh-Wh-What’s the- m - matter?” she stammered. “Is the f-food not to your l-liking?”“What has Crystal told you about me?” he asked with great interest.“Err... What do you mean?&
Once Nathan’s manicure was done, he sighed and said, “I suppose that now that you’re done with my fingers, you’re going to want to cut my toenails next...?”“You’re so smart,” Crystal replied sarcastically. “Not! I wouldn’t touch your smelly feet with a ten-foot pole!”Nathan’s eyes lit up when he heard that.“So, can we start?”Crystal pretended to think about it, and then she said, “I don’t think it is a good idea. You have serious injuries, and you should not be overexerting yourself. We could still do it, but I would need to do all the work. To prevent your hands and legs from moving, I would have to tie you up. How does that sound?”
As Nathan spoke, he stroked Crystal’s thigh. He started at her knees and slowly made his way to the hem of her panties. He had wanted to do this to her for a long time, but up until now, he had been at her mercy. But now that the table had turned, he was free to do to her what he wanted to. And now, after everything she had put him through, he felt like hanging her up and slapping her ass until she begged for his mercy.Too much work - he thought, and without further delay, he pushed her panties aside and forced himself inside her. She was sopping wet, and he slid in easily, but the expression on her face suggested that she was in a great deal of pain. There was a measure of pleasure in her pain, though it vexed her to know that he knew that.“Do you know what I want to do to you now?” Nathan whi
Nathan smiled as he picked Crystal up. “You must be hungry,” he said. “I’ll take you downstairs. Nancy should have the tea and cake set out by now.”Although Crystal’s legs still hurt, she could walk, but since Nathan insisted on carrying her, she saw no point in making a fuss about it.As they descended the stairs, a thought occurred to Crystal, and she said, “A man who can weave braids must be a sissy or a homosexual. Isn’t that right?”Nathan frowned. “Do you really think so?”“I do,” Crystal replied. “That’s what my father always said.”“I don’t think so.” Nathan smiled and said, “At least not in every i
In less than a day, everything changed. All the negative press that Nancy had been getting had been redirected to Paul and Michelle, and for the first time in what seemed like forever, Nancy was able to breathe a little easier. Not only was Paul in the doghouse, but she and her son were on their way to safety.Nancy would have been no surprise to know that Paul nearly had an aneurism the first time he saw the videos. And it would have pleased her.What would have surprised her, though, was that he had never endorsed Michelle’s behavior. Never in a million years would he have suspected that she was abusing his son, and he was shocked. He wanted to confront her, but all of the servants had fled the castle in fear of retribution, and Michelle had disappeared right along with them. He had not been able to reach her on her cell phone, and the company she worke
After having been out of the office for so long, Nathan had a lot of catching up to do. Thus, for the first week or so, he was seldom home. He left before dawn every day and came back late at night, which meant that Crystal seldom saw him. Unfortunately, he called her on the phone all the time.Sometimes Crystal thought about ignoring his calls, but she never did. She knew better than to risk upsetting him.Crystal spent most of her time on the first floor with Nancy and Clark. She and Nancy would sit on the couch, talking and drinking tea while the boy played with his toys on the floor.There were toys everywhere.“Mommy, look at me!” Clark had a transformer in his hand, and he was flying it around the room. “Bumblebee is flying!” he shouted glee
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.
