“I hope you are all ready.” Deborah asked and the rest of the girls nodded, Paige stared out vacantly, she was waiting for Crystal. She wasn’t sure Kayden would let her come, but since they were all going on the trip together, there was no way he could stop her from coming; even if he planned to. Just as she was about to give Crystal a phone call, she opened the door and waltzed in, her eyes lands on Paige and she smiled, Paige smiled back in relief.“Where are your bags?” Deborah noticed and that was when Crystal realized that the rest of them had their bags. “Aren’t you going on this trip with us?”“I just left my bags downstairs; there was no need to bring them up when we are going down again.” They all blanched, they didn’t think about it like that, they had been so excited they are going on a trip that they weren’t using the most of their brains. “Let’s go, I heard from Laurie we are going in the company bus and it’s a twelve hours drive, to the island.”“We should arrive by
“You won’t be sleeping with me, and if it makes you feel any safer I promise I am not going to touch you.” He promised and he pulled back, the words resonated in Crystal’s ears, even though she knew that Kayden would never assault her in away, but the fact is that he was still a man and he cannot be trusted. Assuring her that he won’t do anything, doesn’t put her to rest, she slipped her phone from her bag and wrote a text to Paige, it’s not like it could guarantee her safety but she just needed to calm herself. “Hey, are you asleep yet?” She texted Paige and she didn’t even know that the elevator door has opened and Kayden stepped out, he noticed that she was still in the elevator and she was typing on her phone, he leans back in, knocking on the steel doors to get her attention. “Are you not coming out?” He asked and her mouth dried up, she hurriedly picked her bags and stumbled out of the squared space almost bumping into him. “Do you plan to stay in the elevator instead?” “I t
Crystal screamed throwing her hands everywhere, slapping and scratching him, but she didn’t stop screaming, he held both of her hands and pulled her into a bear hug; using all of his strength to hold her close to his body. She seemed like a small person, but she had a lot of strength, as time passed by, her movement began to weaken and her breath came out in labored pants; Kayden still held her in his arms, and now he was drawing soothing circles on her back. She was now fully awake, and she noticed that the figure that threatened her was all a dream, an imagination, she was also aware that she was in Kayden’s arms, and she hated being seen like that, the blood on her hands and the ones in her legs made her realize just how much she had messed up, and she burst into tears, the sound muffled into Kayden’s chest. Unsure of what to do, Kayden simply allowed her to cry, he had a lot of questions but he knew she was in no position to answer them at the moment, he didn’t know how muc
Sunlight creeps into the room, and the rays warm Crystal’s face, her eyebrows were twitching from the sudden disturbance, and she feels something heavy pressed against her waist, and it is like she is pressed up against a wall, a very warm and sturdy wall. Her eyes flew open and her breath hitched when her view was met with the fabric of Kayden’s clothes, her mouth fell loosely when she noticed that Kayden was holding her, his arms were wrapped around her protectively, and a blush of embarrassment crept on her face.Why the hell were they in such a position? She remembered that she slept on her own side of the bed, if she didn’t cross, then did he?Suddenly, she felt a sting in her hands and the events of the previous night came flooding into her mind. She shut her eyes, cursing herself out in her head, it was quite disgraceful, and it seemed that Kayden was still asleep, she wanted to hurry up and get out of his embrace, and also, she wanted to do that without waking him up.
“This design is one of the best I have seen.” Mrs. Darling said with a big smile on her face, Darling shoes is also a world renowned shoe company, a very huge competition for Kayden's company too.Darling and Kayden are on a collaboration to make a shoe design for the upcoming world sports day events. Some of the players would be settling in the island during the weekend; they should be done with the project by then. “I like Mrs. Smith’s design better too.” One of the directors said too with a satisfied nod. “I will be forced to think that Mr. Smith got married to his wife because of her talent.” Crystal let out an uneasy laugh and her eyes trailed off to meet Kayden’s stone cold gaze. he was glaring at her...He was angry again, why is he angry?“That isn’t true.” He corrected adjusting himself in his chair. “I married her because of my affection for her, her talent and good brains comes as a bonus.” She bit down on her lips, he definitely didn’t mean that, don’t be happy
Kayden got up too and she pretended to not notice as she headed out of the office, and She walked as fast as her legs could carry her, clutching her bags to her chest, as she headed for the elevator. She got in immediately the doors opened she tapped repeatedly on the buttons hoping the door would close but as soon as the steel doors were about to close, unfortunately, Kayden’s arms extended in and her heart fell. He got in with a neutral look on his face, for some reason he wasn’t glaring at her like he did before and then she prayed for someone to come and join them, she didn’t want to be alone with him. But as it will be her prayers weren’t answered and when the door finally closed, she let out a depressing sigh. What is she even running for? She didn’t do anything wrong, so why is she afraid? “How close are you with my brother?” He asked curiously, he slipped both of his hands into his pocket and she blinked back the shock; she wasn’t expecting him to be so direct. “You seem
“Thank you,” Crystal said as they got out of the restaurant, she kneaded her hands together as she looked everywhere but at him. “And again, I am sorry for misunderstanding you earlier.” His eyes fell on her hands, the whites of the band-aid attracting him, and he noticed some dried blood on them, his eyes narrowed and he took up her hands. “Did you reopen your wound?” He asked and she pulled back slightly.“I’ve been sketching all day, I must have reopened it but it doesn’t matter now, it is just a minor issue.” She held the hands closer to herself. “Thank you for your concern.”“When we get back to the hotel, you should go to the nurse and have her redress it.” He said his eyes were still full of concern and she didn’t know why he was making a fuss out of nothing.“The bleeding has stopped; I don’t think there would be a need for that.” She said with a small smile on her face. “Cuts like this are nothing.”“You speak as though you have a bigger one.” Crystal’s heart stopped almost
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Paige asked when she saw the bag that Sebastian brought for them, the rest of them had eaten except for Crystal who was just working her ass off, and her hands was bleeding again. “Look your band aid is now stained, why don’t you listen to Deborah and stop?”“I know, I work twice as slow as everyone, we really need to round up the project tonight, so I can’t afford to stop.” She said and Paige shook her head, they were the only ones in the office at the moment, because the rest of the workers were on lunch break. “You don’t have to push yourself too hard.” Paige advised “I do, because I have always dreamt of doing this, travelling around the world, and showcasing my talent.” She said with a small smile, and Paige nodded, she understood too well, a dream that was close to impossible months ago. Crystal would often say things like that when they were younger, but as she grew up she would term it impossible, after every trial on error, but Paige couldn’t bl
