Almost as soon as Andy left the room, Nathan’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Alex. He brought the phone to his ear and said, “Hey, Alex. How can I help you?”
Alex: “Nathan, did you watch the video I sent you yet? I need to know if the girl in the video is your girlfriend?”
Nathan: “What video are you talking about?”
Alex: “I emailed it to you. Hurry up and take a look! We’ll talk after.”
After saying goodbye to Alex, Nathan opened the email and played the video. It was about twenty minutes long, and although the lighting was poor, he could still see what had happened.
Someone had recorded everything that had transpired on the night that C
Nathan lowered his head to kiss Crystal, but just before their lips touched, she slipped her hand between them. She ran her finger playfully across his lips, smiled, and said, “Don’t forget our one-month agreement. You promised me that you’d be good? Can you keep your word?”Nathan’s heart sank, and a frown appeared on his face. His hand lowered, and he lifted her shirt to touch the soft flesh between her bra and her pants, lingering on her cute little belly button. He slipped his hand into her pants and sighed as his fingers touched her soft, sparse pubic hairs. No, he told himself - Be strong. “You are literally killing me,” he said as he pulled his hand out of her pants.“Not literally,” Crystal scoffed. “Surely, not literally. You will live. I promise!”
As Crystal was putting the First Aid Kit away, she heard Nathan’s feet on the stairs. At first, she thought that was strange because he had just said that he would tell her about her Mother. Maybe he thought we would be more comfortable in the living room - thought Crystal, and she followed after him. When she got downstairs, though, she saw that he’d gone outside.Crystal frowned as she looked out the front window, and she was shocked to see Carlos’s BMW parked in the driveway. He was getting out of the car, but Joyce was already halfway to the house.Crystal gasped - What the fuck are they doing here?!?!?! The last time Carlos had been here was more than ten years ago, and the only reason for his visit was to help finalize the divorce and the division of property between her Father and Mother. Crystal had only been seven at the time, but she
Once the laughter died down, Todd looked at Crystal from across the room and forced himself to smile. “I understand where you’re coming from,” he admitted, “and you have every right to hate me. But this is business. Please tell me what you want, and if it is something that I can do, I will do it. But, as you already know, I am at your mercy.”“Anything I want?” Crystal asked.Todd: “If it is possible.”Crystal: “I want my mother back. Is that possible?”“Crystal,” Todd whined. “You know I can’t bring your mother back, but couldn’t you help me- for her sake…?”“For her sake!” Crystal scoffed. “My mothe
When Eric heard that Nathan Davis was one of Crystal’s teachers, his face turned red from anger. He grabbed his necklace and gripped the pendant so hard that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. “That’s... impossible,” Eric murmured.“Why is it impossible?” Antony asked. “It’s true. Why anyone would want to be a substitute professor at a university when they don’t need to be, though, is beyond me. God knows what Nathan thought when he accepted the position.”“Why need to know why anyone does anything?” Antony shrugged. “Anyway,” he said, “do you still want me to contact the headmaster?”Eric scowled. “Don’t be dumb!” he shouted. “If my brothers know that I was sitting in on Nathan Davis’
Crystal looked at the man in black with an expression of shocked dismay on her face. “What is Eric doing out of the hospital?” she asked. “When I left him, he was in traction!!!”“I am sure that Master Bush can answer any questions you have,” the man replied. “If you will follow me...”“Fine,” Crystal sighed. “Lead the way.”To the left of the meal line, several hundred square meters had been emptied of people. Eric was the exception, and he was sitting near the middle of the room with his back to them. He was wearing a white shirt with black borders, a pair of black casual pants, and British shoes. As they drew near to him, he stood up and turned around to greet them. He smiled and said, “Sweetheart, I’m glad that you ag
Crystal turned to go, But Eric grabbed her wrist with his right hand. “Wait,” he said. “I have something for you.” Eric let go of her wrist, and then he took a choker and a pendant from his pocket. The pendant was a glass eagle with extended wings, and the choker was made from black leather. Before Crystal could react, he reached forward and clasped it around her neck.Crystal stepped back with a frightened expression on her face. She touched the collar and tried to remove it, but it would not come off. “What the fuck?” she growled.“You won’t be able to take it off,” Eric explained. “It is locked, and I have the only key.”Crystal: “But why?”Eric: “As long as you wear it, you are under
Crystal tried to grab the phone so that she could delete the photo, but Serenity pulled it away and stuffed it in her bra so that it was safe.Crystal glared at her friend and said, “You are such a bitch!”“I am not!” Serenity laughed and said, “I am looking out for your best interests. You’ll see!”Suddenly, a gentle hand fell on Crystal’s shoulder, and she was so startled that she jumped a half-inch off the ground and squealed. She turned around, and when she saw who had touched her, her face turned red from anger. “Jessica!” she hissed. Her hands clenched and unclenched at her side. “What the fuck are you doing here?!?!?”Jessica smiled sweetly and asked, “Have you had lunch yet?&rdquo
At the Brilliant Group’s HQ. In the president’s office - Nathan glanced up at Alex and said, “What?”Alex leaned on the sofa’s armrest, and he giggled as he let one rip. “Do you want to play LOL with me this weekend?” he asked.“Maybe,” Nathan said. “What’s going on with my wife?”Alex cleared his throat. “Richard has recruited a lawyer to sue her,” he replied.Nathan: “In that case, I will accompany you this weekend. You did a good job. I appreciate it.”Alex knew that if Nathan knew about the lawsuit and the information came from him, he would agree to do whatever he wanted, including playing LOL. Nathan was as good as any LOL pl
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.
