Next day
True to his words, Landon did not let me eat anything last night, and in the morning, I did not feel like eating anything; I was too tired with my so-called punishment that I didn't even come to the office, but anyway here I am.
"Okay, so this meeting holds a special significance in my sight. Better be good or else......," he said, and everyone quickly nodded. "Good. Once this contract gets signed, we'll have more opportunities and maybe...I'll increase your salaries. New promotions are on their way. Understood?"
"Yes, Mr Landon," we all nodded.He revolved his chair to look at Sana and me as we were his assistants."You both better act nicely, and Sana?"
"Yes, sir?""Why is your beauty capturing me?" He smirked while looking at me, and I looked down sadly."Mr Landon!" She giggled. "T-thankyou", she blushed, and I just wanted to puke. Huh'"And Crystal....." he turned to me, and ICrystal fell back on the mattress, her body slick with perspiration and limp with pleasure. Spasms of her powerful release still violently racked her slender frame. Landon had disentangled, detached and distanced himself from her within seconds of their mutual orgasm and lay on his back beside her, his breathing heavy and ragged.Crystal turned on her side to lovingly trace his harsh profile with her eye, yearning to touch and caress the smooth, silky and slightly tanned skin, but she knew that her touch would be rebuffed. " your payment will be sent to your account." With those words, he killed afterglow, destroyed the intimacy of the moment and relegated the act into nothing more than financial trading. Crystal tensed; she sat up, naked, her body still trembling and drew her knees to her chest; she wrapped her arm around her legs, pressed her cheeks to her and watched as he calmly walked away from her, heading for the shower. The reality brought her back down on earth w
Crystal parked her car and got out. She made her way toward the entrance and rang the doorbell.In about 30 to 40 seconds, the house door opened with a sound as her mother looked at her with her wide orbs before crushing her in her arms. Crystal eyes tear up after seeing her mom."Oh my god, Crystal, did you miss me" Crystal nodded, her head still in her mother safe arm. She doesn't want to let go. It's not too long that she has met her mother but all the mental and physical exhaustion dealing with Landon lead her to get emotional seeing her mother. She felt as if it had been a year she had seen her. As much as she wants to tell everything about Landon and her life. She knew her mother. She will become angry and worried. Throughout her life, they both have suffered very much. Her mom has suffered more than her. If she tells her mom about Landon and their marriage. Her mother heart will break. She will not cause any suffering to her mom. Crystal wiped her tears before b
Crystal gives her car keys to the guard before walking inside. It's been more than four hours since she was away from home. Standing in front of her door, she was having second thoughts about entering. She did not want to come back here, but anyway. She raised her hand to ring the bell, but before her hand could touch the bell switch, the door was yanked open. Her eye widened as she took some steps away, but Landon didn't spare her a second. He grabbed her arm and dragged her inside. Landon slammed the door shut and pushed her a little as Crystal's back collided with the closed door. She choked out a yelp. She looked at her husband with fear-filled eyes. Landon was glaring at her with his burning graze. He was furious. Crystal gulped, already regretting coming back. She should have stayed with her mother tonight. "How dare you step out of the house without my permission?" He yelled, making Crystal flinched as she withdrew her steps and shrunk away
She tried her best to open her eye, but she couldn't. She felt sick. As if a flame of fire was burning all parts of her body, only causing her pain.Crystal was in a daze for quite some minutes before she rubbed her eyes to drive the dizziness away. Slowly the events of last night came running back in her mind. Her body ach as she turned around; she probably passed out due to cold. Her body each because of lying in a very uncomfortable position. The floor was too dirty to lay down. She wasn't feeling well. Her head was a little dizzy. She looked up toward the small ventilator where sunrays were passing through. It was morning. He had locked her up for the entire night. She was wiping the drop of tears that rolled down from her cheeks. Sometimes she hates herself for loving him so much.She got up but stretched her legs as they were numb, sitting in the same position for the entire night. She was whimpering in pain as she got up from the floor. She was rubbing her head
As crystal entered the room, her eye widened. Her heart fell to the groundbreaking into shreds. She saw Landon and a gorgeous girl sitting very closed to each other. Landon had an end of chocolate bar in between his lips while another end was in the gorgeous women's mouth. They were both laughing while Landon and the women were chewing the chocolate while people around them were cheering for them. If Landone bit the last piece, he would practically kiss the woman and Landone was about to do that when his eye met with Crystal. Landon was too surprised that the last piece left his mouth and fell down Immeditally sad hooting went up in the hall. His friends were scolding him for not biting it. All the dizziness of Crystal went away as her heart filled with pain. She was in a daze. She was scolding herself to even step into the party. She should not forget that she was just a toy for him to play with. She hated herself. Not knowing what to do or say, she gave in to her instinct. She turne
His face shows how panicked he was. His hand trumble as he touched her face. Her lips were dry. Her face was pale. She looked sick. Her body was too hot. Her temperature was high,it was burning his skin. He immediately picked her in his arm and rushed toward the hotel where the party was going on. The party hall was located in the cities best hotel. He booked the entire hotel for today. There were several rooms. He immediately picked her up and brought her toward the hotel. Landon's driver and guards noticed their boss and immediately rushed toward him. They placed the umbrella and guided him toward the hotel entrance. "Call the doctor immediately!!" He screamed to one of his men and went inside the hotel. The staff did not ask anything and guided them to the closest room. He lay her down on the bed cover her body with a blanket. "Crystal, wake up, please" He patted her cheek and also shook her softly. But she did not even move. Making his dead scared. "I am sorry, baby please wake up
"What are you doing here, Perl?"Perl panicked. She hastily looked down before answering, "I am sorry, sir, I didn't mean to hear your conversation. It's just that Crystal is my friend, and I can't reach out for her since yesterday when I heard her name, I stopped. Please forgive me, sir." "You haven't answered my question yet !!" Landon raises his voice, making Perl flinch. "I...y-yesterday it rained heavily. I couldn't go home because it was two hours rid from here, so Mr Justin offered to book a room here. I am sorry, Sir" Landon crushed Justin in his mind before glaring at Perl. "Miss Perl, I hope you forget whatever you heard just now. Please do not speak of it to anyone, Or there will be consensuses. " Landon, warn.Perl nodded her head vigorously. Landon left the cafeteria, and Perl placed her hand on her heart she was too scared of her boss. He was known to be very strict. She sat on the chair nearby, took the free water bottle, and drank some water to calm her heart. Her
Sara and Justin stood in the empty park. Sara has her hands folded, and her eyes are glaring at Justin, who was looking down the whole time. "Don't you have something to explain to me, Justin?" She asked with a calm but nervous voice. Sara was also panicked inside. She didn't want to lose a friend like Justin, and she didn't want to become the reason for Justin and Landon's fight. But she was scared and nervous. The thing was going to happen that she always feared.Justin looked up and stared at Sara's eyes."I will go straight to the point, Sara. I know we are a friend you always see me as your best friend. I always tried my best to be a best friend to you and Landon, but I can't stop my feeling for you. I know you love Landon, but knowing that you won't be mine, my heart only wants you. Today I wanted to tell you my feeling. I wanted to confess to you, but you were going out at that time. I can't hide my feeling for you; trust me, I did my best. I know after my confession, nothing wi
Crystal wasn't feeling too good these days, so she thought of booking an appointment with the doctor. She picked up her phone to do so when her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number. 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
The next morning, Landon woke up to the warm rays of the sun shining on his face. He looked beside him and smiled, seeing his beautiful wife sleeping peacefully. He kissed her forehead gently and covered her body with the blanket before getting dressed.As he checked the time, he realized it was almost 11 AM. He picked up Crystal's clothes and dressed her before carrying her in his arms. He walked towards his car and carefully placed her in the back seat, making sure she was comfortable. He placed a pillow near her head for support before closing the door.As Landon drove home, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of his wife, Crystal, sleeping peacefully in the backseat. He was grateful that she had been so exhausted that she hadn't woken up during their journey back home.Upon arriving home, he carefully lifted Crystal from the car and carried her inside, laying her gently on the bed. He covered her with a blanket and sat beside her, watching her sleep.After a few hours, Cryst
"I love you " Crystal said in between the kiss. Landon heart did a flip as he pulled crystal closer to him and kissed crystal passionately, their lip moving messily against the each other.As they continued to kiss, Landon's mind raced with a mixture of emotions - joy, excitement, and a tinge of nervousness. Those three words said by crystal made his heart skip a beat.With his arm still around her waist, Landon deepened the kiss, pouring all his love and affection into it. It was a moment of pure bliss for both of them, as they lost themselves in the passion and intensity of the moment.Eventually, they broke the kiss, both gasping for breath. Landon looked into Crystal's eyes "I love you so so much my love " he said, his voice filled with sincerity and devotion.Crystal wiped away her tears and asked Landon,"Do you really want to leave me?" Landon immediately shook his head and replied, " my love. I could never leave you. I love you too much to even consider it."He kissed her for
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. " Why... are you behaving so cheesy today" she whispered.Landon leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Ignoring her question he placed a flower bouquet in her hand "Here's a bouquet of flowers to match the beauty of my woman who brightens up my life every single day" he murmured, his hand caressing her cheek.She looked down at the
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. "Thank you for inviting me, Mrs. mary," Landon replied, his voice shaking slightly. "Don't call me that, you are al
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. Crystal smiled to herself, feeling a sense of exhilaration as she anticipated the storm's arrival. She loved the way the rain washed everything clean and the thunder an
