"Crystal was getting ready for the office today. She felt as if it had been a year since she stepped into the office. She hadn't forgotten about the new CFO and the party. She just prayed not to face the woman and to stay away from both of their relationships. She was confused as to why Landon suddenly started to worry about her, but she knew better than to get her hopes up. After changing into office clothes, she walked downstairs only to find Landon shouting at someone on the phone. She silently went to the dining table and sat down, noticing Landon's half-eaten food on his plate. The maid served her breakfast. She wanted to ask him about his health but saw him shouting like that, so she got the message that he was fine, like his usual self. She quietly continued to eat, hearing his voice. Suddenly, the voice stopped, and the chair beside her was pulled. Crystal looked at him as he sat beside her. "Good morning," he greeted her and smiled a little. "Good morning," Crystal replied
"Shut up!" This is not an appropriate way to speak to your superior. Who do you think you are to talk to your CFO like that? You are the most discourteous and useless employee. I tried to give you a chance to improve, but I made a mistake. I will correct my mistake now." Landon handed the termination letter to Sana and threw it in her face. "You are fired. Don't show your face here, and I will make sure you never get a job in a company again," Landon shouted. He was fed up with people like her and knew he had to do some cleaning up in his company. Sana's eyes widened, and she immediately fell to her knees as real tears flowed from her eyes. All her attitude vanished in a blink of an eye. "Sir, please...I am sorry. I made a mistake. I am sorry, madam. Please don't throw me out. Please, I beg you, sir. I will do my best. I will improve, sir. Please give me a chance." "Get lost, or I have to call security!" Landon shouted again. Sara smirked as she watched the begging employee. Meanwhi
The dimly lit nightclub was packed with people dancing to the thumping music. In the corner of the room, a man in his 50s sat at a table, his scarred face illuminated by the soft glow of a candle. Two young women sat across from him, giggling and batting their eyelashes as he flirted with them. The man had a menacing air about him, and the scar that ran from his forehead to his chin only added to his ominous presence. He took a long drag from his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke that hung in the air. As the night wore on, the man's behaviour grew more and more aggressive. He leered at the women and made lewd comments, his eyes darting around the room as if daring anyone to challenge him. As the man finished his cigarette, he stood up from the table and made his way to the dance floor, the women trailing behind him. The other patrons of the club gave him a wide berth as he moved through the crowd, his evil aura almost palpable. A woman in messy work clothes approached the man w
"Hello boss, I found out the company that released those videos and photos. We have already removed the video, but it has already garnered 15 million views and has been broadcast on a news channel. I hacked their system and found out the person who sent these images to the company," the employee reported. "Who?" Landon asked. "It's Madam Sara." "Are you sure?" "I am 110% sure, sir. You have my word," the employee affirmed. Landon clenched his fists and closed his eyes, trying to control his anger. After hanging up his phone, he stood up from his chair and stormed out of the office in search of Sara. However, he was so lost in thought and anger that he collided with someone on the way to the elevator. He immediately held onto the person to prevent them from falling, and to his surprise, it was Crystal. "Be careful when you walk," Landon commented. Crystal avoided his gaze and tried to push his hand away from her waist. Landon noticed how her eyes were dull, and her face was pale a
Perl scoffed at her colleagues who were talking among themselves about their boss and CFO's affairs. She wanted to laugh at the stupidity of these people around her. She already knew everything about Landon and Crystal. Standing up from her desk, she went to the restroom to freshen up a little with all this overloaded work. Perl walked into the restroom, and as she washed her hands, she heard faint sobs coming from one of the stalls. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should intrude, but she immediately recognized the voice of her friend. She knocked gently on the stall door and called out, "Crystal, are you okay in there? It's me, Perl." There was a long pause, and then her friend's voice, thick with tears, answered, "I'm fine, Perl. Just give me a minute." Perl leaned against the sink, waiting patiently. She knew that the things happening in the office would negatively affect Crystal. She would need time to compose herself, and she didn't want to rush her friend. Fina
Sara's heart skipped a beat as she realized that she had forgotten to hide the boxes she had packed earlier. She had been so focused on Justin's discharge that she had completely forgotten about them. She didnot want to explain anything to Justin about the things happened inbthe office. "Oh, those," she said, trying to sound casual. "They're just some things I was going to donate." Justin raised an eyebrow. "Donate? To where?" "To a local charity. I was doing some cleaning up of my new apartment of i found some old stuff." Sara replied, trying to keep her tone steady. "I just haven't had a chance to drop them off yet." Justin seemed to accept her answer, but Sara could tell that he was still curious. She silently hoped that he wouldn't ask any more questions about it. The rest of the car ride was still awkwardly silent. Sara tried to focus on driving, but she could feel Justin's eyes on her, making her nervous. As they finally arrived at Justin's home, Sara helped him inside and
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
( 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
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
