Vince looked at him apologetically, " it is what you think it is, Crystal is the daughter of Miller". The realization pierced through Rafael's heart like a hot coal, if she was Miller's daughter that means she was working for him all along, that explained the times he had seen her at Miller's, he remembered asking her on more than one occasion if she knows Miller and she denied it, he had given her his heart and trusted her but for her, it was all a game, she must be having fun while deceiving him, he felt a blinding pain between his eyes and he suddenly felt sick. "I'm sorry bro" Vince's heart went out to his friend, he hated being a bearer of bad news but he needed to show it to him.Rafael waved him off," I want to be left alone" he turned his back in Vince and listened as he quietly left him alone. He had wanted to have lunch with her today but she turRelated chapters

Starlia opened her eyes, a noise downstairs had woken her, she sat up in her bed and listened, it was as if someone was in her living room searching for something, she heard her sofa being turned, she tiptoed and peered through the keyhole on her door and saw the state of her living room, it was a mess, her heart pounded in fear and she placed her palms on her chest for fear that her intruder might hear the sound of her heart beating and come after her, she checked for her phone on her dresser but couldn't find it, where could it be? She remembered she had left it in the living room, she heard footsteps as the intruder started walking towards the bedroom , perhaps, he didn't see what he was looking for in the living room, she looked around her room frantically for something to defend herself with, the footsteps was getting closer, she ran and stood behind the door just as the door swung opened,she whimpered but quickly uses her hands to cover her mouth, the intruder stood at the doo

His eyes narrowed on her when he saw her, " what are you doing with that chair".Crystal's heart thudded, he must not find out about her plans or everything will be ruined, she laughed nervously, "the chair....ah, the chair.....I plan to sit on it" she explained quickly sitting on the chair."Better don't do anything funny, you've done enough" Mark barked."What did I do?" Crystal asked innocently.Mark placed the food on the floor in front of her and pinned her chin in the crook of his finge

Raphael sat in his study brooding, a bottle of wine in his hand, he was pained that Crystal is still insisting on staying with Starlia, didn't she consider the pain he was in? Didn't she miss him at all? Why was she being stubborn, he would have to bring her back at all cost, he was no longer going to take no for an answer, he would use whatever method to bring her back, he had compelled her using their contract and he hoped that work or he would be compelled to use a more forceful method, she would stay with him and this time for good, he was never going to let her go again.Crystal walked into the prison and was shown where her father was, they stared at each other through the glass, her gaze furious, his mocking, he picked up the phone at his corner and stared at her waiting for her to do same, he mouthed something and she finally picked up the phone."Well, well, well, look who we have here," he said as soon as she put the phone on her ears"Surprised to see me

Rafael was furious when he saw Mark trying to leave with Crystal, so this was the husband she was talking about, " what are you doing with my wife?" His voice thundered.Crystal withdrew her hand from Mark's clutches, "wife?" This was the man she wanted to get answers from but he had come here looking for her still calling her his wife, "what do you mean by that?" She whispered."Nothing", Mark quickly asserted but she paid no heed to him.Rafael had suspected something was wrong when he had seen Crystal the other day but now he had confirmed it, she had lost her memory and Mark had taken full advantage of it, he held Mark by the neck and rammed him to the wall, " how dare you take advantage of her like this after what you did? You put her in this condition and still have the nerve to hold her hostage as your wife?"Crystal turned to Mark, " what is he talking about?" She chipped in, confused, she turned to Rafael, " what do you mean by put me in this condition?"

Mark felt the bottom dropped out from under him at her question, has she regained her memory? No, she had taken her pills, then why would she ask of Rafael, he felt desperation crept into his heart and he fought it, he was not going to lose her, no way, he can't let that happen, his expression guarded, he sat at the foot of her bed, " did you drink your medication?"Crystal frowned at his question, she was asking about Rafael and he was here talking about pills, what has that got to do with anything? Was there something in the pills?"You gave me the pills yourself, why asking?He shrugged, "no reason""I asked you a question, instead you are talking about pills, is there something you're hiding from me?"No", he asked quickly, too quickly and her suspicion grew, there was something he wasn't telling her."You are lying to me, I don't believe you, there's something you're not telling me" she stood up from the bed and walked downstairs angril

Crystal looked back and was glad his car wasn't following her anymore, she reached home still shaken about what just happened and was glad Mark wasn't home yet, she thought of what had happened earlier, why was he referring to her as his wife, the man must have lost it, she can't tell Mark about this, he would so hit the roof, she regretted going out, she hadn't understood the compulsion on her to go out and now she regrets it, she wasn't his wife, her husband was Mark, her mind traveled to the dream she had the night before, of the faceless man and for some reason, this stranger fits into it, tears burned in her eyes, she felt so lost, her headaches terribly, she had to call her doctor and explained about her dream to him, was her memory returning, if so, she wants to know who that man was, she realized that she had this dream on the day she failed to take her medication. The doctor told her it was nothing and that she must continue taking her pills, his voice sounded tensed to

Crystal got home and was relieved that Mark wasn't back from wherever he had gone, she was just dropping the juice and beverages on the table when he walked in, he hugged her and she stiffened but didn't pull back, she has to try and act like a wife to him no matter what, he pulled back and looked at her, did you go somewhere?" He asked staring at her intently.She nodded, "I got us some fruits and beverages". Be stared at what she had bought on the table, she had gone out? But how was that possible, if she had taken her pills, she has been sleeping by now, his heart skyrocketed, she had seen Rafael on the news yesterday, although she had not recognized him, he was still perplexed with the fact that she was interested in watching him, he was a businessman and might even have business here in Demero, he would not allow her to go out, not until he was sure that Rafael was not in any way close to Demero, he narrowed his eyes on her, " did you meet anyone?".She frowned at his

Crystal walked into the house Mark took her to, it felt strange, she had absolutely no memory of the house neither did she even feel like she had been here before or lived here. She went into the unfamiliar house, looking around and hoping something would trigger her memory. "Are you alright?" She heard Mark asked as he placed his hand on her back, for some reason, she felt uncomfortable with his touch as she moved away from him, nodding that she was okay and needed to rest.Mark noticed how she had moved away from his touch, his eyes narrowed but he let it go."Why are there no pictures of us in our house?" She suddenly gazed at him, even in this state, without memory, she was still smart. He was at a loss for how to answer."Huh?""I mean no family portrait of us, not even our wedding pictures?""Oh, yeah we have but you see, our previous house caught fire, I only just managed to get you out of there, so this is a new house, we lost our family pictures and
