And the surprising news is... my daughter is getting engaged! With none other than the famous Landon!"
The spotlight now shone on Landon and Jenne while I felt like someone had just tossed me into the sea, a feeling of drowning taking over me. So. This was the end of our meaningless relationship. This was as far as he would go to break me.
"Finally, the old man got what he wanted" Cable walked next to Mario and sipped his champagne, unamused by the applause from the guests.
"Are you okay?" Mario looked at me with concern, but my blurred eyes were fixed on Landon. He was looking at me too. It was like a staring contest. No one was blinking, just looking at the other while trying to keep in touch with the surroundings as well. After putting the ring on Jenne's finger, he finally broke eye contact with me, giving her a genuinely warm smile. She smiled back at him, leaning in closer

She doesn't want to be alone in a dark empty house, to she runs to the only place that comes to her mind. Why is the god so cruel, can't have some pity on her? Sometimes, pain takes over your head such that there is no room left for a reason.That's exactly what happened to her.She told Mario she didn't want to use him, but he said it didn't matter."Who knows, maybe you'll eventually fall in love with me?""I wouldn't, I know...""It's at least worth a shot. Landon has moved on; maybe you should too..."So she agreed to think it over. The proposal wasn't romantic; her heart didn't flutter at his words; she didn't feel butterflies in her stomach. But she accepted it to numb the pain that Landon had caused her." give me more !!" "Why the fuck are you taking so much time !!" "give m-me m-more, or I will po

Landon looked at the girl sleeping soundly on his bed. He was supposed to wake her up and kick her out of his house, but he decided to bring her to his room since he felt a little tired after all the drama at the party.He thought he could rest and sleep immediately from tiredness, but it was washed away as soon as he entered his room. He decided to take a quick bath before engaging himself in reading some documents while drinking some coffee in his home office.He was in the middle of his bath when he heard someone scream and followed by pleading words and sobs. He immediately took a robe, covered himself and ran as quickly as he can to the room. He then saw crystal sobbing, with a tear falling on her cheeks, from having a nightmare.He went closer to her side, lightly tapped her arm and soothed her with warmth, "Shh... I'm here. Don't worry."After a few seconds, she immediately stopped sobbing. Then, soft breathing followed,

I stood inside my office, grabbing my stuff and throwing it in a box, when I heard the door open."I told you, you can't leave," he said calmly as he closed the door behind him and stood there with his arm's crossed."you can't order me around, I just Regine," she said, grabbing her stuff from her table."you won't leave me ",, he again said."Go away," I said without sparing him a look as I stuffed a certain pamphlet into my purse."Crystal...""Don't, Just don't!" I said as I turned to face him."Can't you just...""Just what, Landon? Just what? What is there left for me to do? I'll give you one thousand explanations but for what? You'll tell me you love me but for what? At this point, nothing can be fixed!""Okay. Then let's mess it up more because that's the only way!" He pushed me against the wall, and his lips crashed into mine. I tried to push him away, but his one hand was enough to lo

It was already the fifth day I had talked to her about it, getting out of Landon's car and not letting him know what was going on even though that meant I had to walk to my apartment.But then again, I was the one who had created the mess of inviting people to a wedding that only I knew about, and I was tired and sick of telling mom that it wasn't actually happening. So yes, I had to go through with it.After waiting a few minutes for her to read or at least receive them, I got tired, threw the phone on the bed and sighed, wishing I had never told her in the first place. She had only replied to the message that had my address with a "k", and that's it.I was about to move out of my bedroom when Mario called. I had already told him everything. First, he had laughed hysterically. Then he said he would sort everything out after getting done his work. He informed me that he was back and was going to arrange a meeting for our parents."They'll get to know each other, have a good time, and t

"Its 5 am. Are you serious?" I whisper-yelled into the phone at Landon,"Get down here. You have some explaining to do."I changed into the nearest clothing and walked out into the cold morning of Delhi."I'm so going to..." before I could finish yelling, he shoved me in his car without a word and soon was on his way."Where are you taking me?"No answer."Are you trying to kidnap me? You better not because my mom will find you and probably take this pretty skin off from you."He gave me a daring look but kept driving until we reached a beautiful landscape an hour later.He got out of the car and opened the door for me. As soon as I was out, he held my hand and started walking until we reached a point from where the beautiful view of the valley down below could be seen."Start talking," he said, arms crossed and eyes studying me."What do you wanna know?"

Oh, crystal?" someone put a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see a cheerful, as usual, Mia."Hey..." I tried not to make any eye contact."What's up?"Seriously? You ask me what's up?"I am here to uh...""How about a drink?"--------------------I don't know why I agreed to it, but I decided to drink with her anyway. Perhaps I was curious, and I wanted to know how her life was going on. I wanted to listen to her after so long.She led me into the VIP bar and ordered her favourite drinks for both of us. I remember our old times when we talk the whole night and drink together. We used to have so much fun."So," she said, sipping delicately from the glass ", What's going on."Rich people are the same everywhere. I was one of them before, but now, I thought as I observed her. Everything about her reminded me of how we were like back then. I downed the drink in one

We should stop this act and let her know how much we hate her in real" Justin spoke, sipping his coffee."Landon, you should not live in the past; what will you get after taking revenge on her? It will not only hurt her but on you too, and what if she has a real reason to do all this? Think about it," Jenne spoke."shut up, all of you. Did she give a chance me?

I woke up to a throbbing headache the next day. It felt like someone was drumming my head with spoons. I looked around and realized I wasn't at my apartment. An uninvited memory reminded me of some of the events of last night, particularly how Mia cleared our misunderstandings.I gulped down, wondering if he was still here. A smile formed on my lips as I got up from the bed, thinking about all the things I would tell him when I see him.I walked towards the living room and looked for him. Then I searched the kitchen, but he wasn't there either. Instead, on the dining table, there was a huge bowl of soup and an envelope beneath it.With a sinking heart, I opened the envelope and saw a letter in his hand.Dear crystalI don't know how to start, but one thingIknow for sure,Ihurt you more than you deserved.

She looked at it skeptically, but curiosity got the better of her. The message read, "Meet me at the café on the corner at 5 pm tonight. I have something important to discuss with you."Crystal pondered over the message, wondering who could be texting her from an unknown number. She decided to reply to the message, "Who is this?"A few moments later, the phone buzzed again. The reply read, "It's Sara. Please come to the café tonight. It's really important."Crystal's heart skipped a beat. She hesitated for a moment before replying to Sara's message. She wasn't sure if meeting with Sara was a good idea, given their history. But she also didn't want to ignore the message, considering that Sara was Landon's close friend.After a few moments of deliberation, Crystal decided to reply, "I'm sorry,

"It's not good for Sara to work under me. How can you make such a decision?""Considering what happened between Sara and Crystal, I cannot risk having Sara anywhere near my wife. However, I also do not want to send her back to her father. So for now, it is best for her to work with you.""Landon, I understand that what happened between Sara and Crystal was not good, and I take responsibility for it. However, I cannot be around Sara when I am trying my best to move on from my feelings for her. My sole purpose of taking over my father's business was to distract myself from Sara and focus on my family and company.""Justin, I understand where you're coming from. Moving on from someone you have feelings for can be really hard. But I also believe that sometimes we need to confront our feelings head-on to truly move forward. I have a feeling that Sara may have feelings for you too, and maybe working together could help you both explore those feelings and see where they lead.""I completely

As they sat there, enjoying the beautiful view and each other's company. Landon picked up his wine glass and take a sip, his grace was still on her face as he spoke. "Truly beautiful"Crystal looked up at Landon, her eyes brimming with emotion. "Yes the beaches are specially beautiful at night" she said, her voice soft. Landon picked something up from the side and stood up. He took a step closer to her, his eyes locked on hers. "You know, I was talking about you earlier," he said, his voice low and intimate. "You look just as beautiful tonight as you did the day we first met."Crystal felt her heart skip a beat as she looked up at her husband.

Crystal was feeling restless as she sat in the passenger seat, blindfolded, and with no idea where Landon was taking her. Her curiosity was getting the better of her, and she couldn't resist asking him again, "Landon, where are we going?" Landon let out a small chuckle before saying, "Shh... love. I am driving, don't disturb me and sit quietly." Crystal sighed, feeling frustrated but also a little amused by Landon's teasing. She had been excited when he had asked her to get ready for a surprise, but she never imagined it would involve being blindfolded and taken on a mystery drive. As they drove on, she could hear the sound of cars passing by, and she felt the gentle breeze blowing through the open window. She tried to imagine where they could be heading, but Landon had not given her any clue, and the anticipation was making her anxious. Despite her attempts to stay quiet, she couldn't resist asking again, but this time landon cut her off before she could speak. " Landon just chuc

The room was filled with executives, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of their CEO, Emily. She was a force to be reckoned with - brilliant, decisive, and unyielding in her pursuit of success. As she entered the room, heads turned, and the chatter subsided. Iris took her seat at the head of the conference table, and with a quick nod, signaled for the meeting to begin. "Good morning, everyone," she began, her voice ringing out with confidence. "Today, I want to talk to you about our quarterly results." Iris went on to detail the company's financial performance over the past few months, highlighting the areas where they had excelled, and the areas where they needed improvement. Her speech was peppered with graphs, charts, and projections, all of which she explained with clarity and precision. But as she spoke, it became clear that Iris was not just talking about numbers and figures. She was talking about people. "We've made some tough decisions over the past few months," she said, he

( I hope you all remember chapter 47 , if now please check it out before reading this chapter.) Flashback Landon took a deep breath as he parked his car outside Crystal's mother's house. He had received a call from his wife's mother one day, and it turned out to be her. Landon's relationship with Crystal's mother had never really developed, and he felt uncomfortable facing her. He had a deep feeling of guilt in his heart, which prevented him from getting closer to her. On his wedding day, he had promised her to protect her daughter, but he did the total opposite. He didn't have the courage to face her." He got out of the car and walked up the front steps, his heart pounding in his chest. As he rang the doorbell, he tried to calm his nerves. The door opened, and Crystal's mother, Mrs. Mary, greeted him warmly. "Landon, it's good to see you," Mrs. mary said, smiling.

The sky is getting dark. The breeze is getting refreshing, Crystal sat up and rubbed her eyes, trying to clear the sleep from her head. As she looked around, her eyes landed on the clock. Its was 9 pm. she realized that she was in Landon's room. Memories of few hours came flooding back to her - she had gone out with landon to meet her mom and ended up falling asleep in Landon's car. She glanced out the window and saw that a storm was approaching. The wind had picked up, and the sky was darkening quickly. Crystal felt a sense of calm wash over her as she watched the storm draw nearer. She got up from the bed and walked over to the window, feeling the cool breeze on her face. Looking outside, watching as the clouds grew darker and more ominous. The wind picked up, blowing leaves and small branches around in the yard.
