See you in the next chapter muahh :3
Birds were singing outside the window, and even though Crystal was a bit distant in her sleep, she could hear them. She turned to her other side, sunlight flashed on her face and she shut her eyes even tighter. A small but sharp pain builds in her head, and she whimpers softly.“Are you awake?” She heard Kayden’s voice and her eyes fluttered open immediately; he was sitting on the edge of her bed and he was dressed in his pajamas, his blond hair casually tousled over his eyes and his bedroom eyes stared down at her with no emotion in them.“K-K-Kayden,” she stuttered as she sat up abruptly, She winced slightly because it was a bad idea, getting up so suddenly when she had signs of a migraine. “Why are you here?”“You don’t remember?” He asked and almost immediately the door opened and Petra came in, holding a tray in hand, her weary eyes fell on Crystal and she smiled.“Good morning, Mrs. Smith.” She said as she hurriedly walked to her side, she laid the tray on the small table an
“Crystal come down from there!” Cassandra yelled, she woke up so early in the morning just to find Crystal standing on paper boxes, staring outside the window. “It’s dangerous.” Cassandra pulled her sister down with enough carefulness, and they both fell to the ground, Crystal landing on her sister.“You could fall from there, these are paper boxes, they can’t hold your weight.” Cassandra was still engrossed in her explanation when she noticed tears in her sister’s eyes. “What is it? Why are you crying?”“I think Dad is going on a business trip again.” She squeaked wiping her eyes, Cassandra got up and peeped out of the window, standing on the paper boxes that Crystal once stood on, there was a van outside and they were moving a lot of things. Their parents didn’t say anything about moving out of this place, because they were moving most of the major kinds of stuff. The carton was carved in and Cassandra fell hitting her back on the wooden floor.“Are you okay?” Crystal squeaked as
“I’m glad to see, you two are doing so well,” Randy said with an unsure look on his face, his eyes fleeting side by side. “It is quite disturbing how you were able to get my contact number, have you been stalking me?”“No, we won’t do something like that,” Cassandra answered instead and Crystal reached for the small tea cup in front of her. “Especially to some like you.”Randy cleared his throat and adjusted himself in his seat, he took his teacup and sipped from it as well. “I don’t have much time, tell me why you wanted to see me, I have to return home to my family.” He glanced at his wristwatch, it was an hour after his closing time, and his wife must be so worried now.“How can you shamelessly sit in front of your adult daughters and brag about your family?” Crystal asked with a plain look on her face.“Daughters he abandoned.” Cassandra corrected; disappointment gleamed in their eyes.“So, now what do you want?” Randy asked with a small shrug. “Do you want revenge for what happen
It has been weeks since Cabin Dante, Crystal’s mother died, it has taken quite a toll on her, sometimes she finds it hard to believe that her mother is no more. Sometimes, she would pray that her mother gets better without even realizing that she has no one to wait for anymore. It was more painful than she imagined, she felt empty and without objective, she wanted to live in the previous days, the days when she was still younger. It wasn’t quite hard to wake up from that dream, and open her eyes to her current nightmare.“What are you thinking about?” Paige asked, as she sat down on the next chair to her, she noticed that Crystal had been looking out the window for a while now and she wasn’t concentrating with work. Her eyes pried into the tablet and she noticed that she wasn’t working on any of her designs, the drawing seemed to be that of a person and a familiar one too.“Mother,” Crystal confessed, as she raised her hands tiredly to continue to finish up the art. “I have been tryin
“Why is he angry?” she asked herself as she unpacked her bags, Kayden left the room slamming the door with a loud thud, he said it was a vacation to relax but he didn’t look relaxed even in the slightest. “That’s none of my business.” Her phone beeped and she glanced at it, it was a message from Paige, and she smiled. “Did you arrive already?” with some heart emojis “Yes, we did,” she replied immediately. “I just saw Mr. Smith coming out, where are you?” She sighed. “I am in the room, I am so tired, and I would like to get some sleep.” “Alright then.” “Call me when you wake up.” “Okie.” She finished unpacking her bags and she headed straight to the bathroom to take her shower, Kayden got angry and left, why did he tell her to go on a date with Sebastian? Isn’t that considered cheating? She wouldn’t mind if he asked her on a date instead, a small smile touched her lips. “What the hell am I thinking?” she whispered to herself but it didn’t stop her from chuckling at her si
“What do you want?” she asked him as soon as she got to the pool area, she made sure to not meet his eyes, she was still embarrassed from earlier. “I would like you to hurry up because I would like to go have some sleep.”“Are you trying to get some sleep or you are drawing something perverted again?” He teased and she frowned, she was about to say something when Paige rushed towards her.“Crystal,” she said as she beamed a smile. “I thought you wouldn’t come.”And in an instant, they pulled her along towards the poolside, Kayden stopped what he was doing and somehow, he found himself watching her, his eyes following her every movement, even though the rest of the ladies were in the pool playing with water and were swimming, Crystal went to the other end of the pool and sat at the edge of the pool and she soaked her feet in the water, she seemed very uninterested in whatever was going on, for her to sit so far from the others, she also wasn't interested in swimming.Just for the sake
Kayden tilted Crystal’s head backward held her nose and blew air into her mouth. Suddenly, she jerked and coughed, water coming out from her nose and her mouth and the first thing she did was slap Kayden across the face. He glared down at her, and her eyes widened as soon as she realized what she had done; she covered her mouth immediately. She felt a pain in her throat and nose, the only reason she is feeling pain is because she is alive. She tried to get up but her legs were like jelly, shaking from fear of dying. “Are you okay?” Paige asked as she got down to embrace Crystal, she hugged her friend. Seeing her alive and okay makes her heart lift.“What are you doing inside the pool if you cannot swim? Are you trying to die or something?” Kayden asked as he flicked her forehead, she winced from the pain and then glared at him. His frown softened, and she gave him a good scare, he thought she was a goner. That was enough staying outside it was getting late anyway, he grabbed
Crystal was fully dressed and was about to leave when Kayden’s voice stopped her. “Where are you going dressed like that?” He asked curiously, she glanced back at him, he was holding his cup of tea and his eyes were narrowed in disapproval. “Dressed like that?” she repeated as she inspected her dress, a simply plaid gown that had a thin and stopped right enough to cover the scar on her knees. “There is nothing wrong with what I am wearing.” “You should take a coat along with you, it tends to get windy around this area.” He suggested and her eyes narrowed back at him. “A coat won’t go well with my dress.” She tells him. “I don’t want to change my dress because I want to take a coat along.” “You don’t ever listen to me, do you?” He complained, dropping the cup of tea to the table, he got up and walked towards her. “If you don’t want to take a coat, at least put on something with sleeves.” “This is strange,” Her eyebrows furrowed at him. “Since when do you care about what I wear? We
