“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
CHAPTER NINETY- SIX Crystal opened the door and waddled in, it was odd because the lights were off, and she wondered if Kayden was asleep already. It’s barely eight pm and he is asleep? She closed the door with a soft thud because if he was asleep, she wouldn’t want to wake him up.“Are you back?” She heard his voice from the darkness and almost immediately the lights came on, Kayden sat up from the bed rubbing his eyes.“Yes, I am.” She answered immediately, she dropped her tablet on the table, Kayden’s silver eyes landed on her and his eyes narrowed.“What is that?” he asked curiously and she shrugged.“What?” He got up from the bed and his steps doubled as he headed towards her, he pulled her face and his hands went into her hair. “What happened to your hair?” he looked just as baffled as he sounded. She pushed him away and took a few steps back, she could see the dissatisfaction in his face, he looked like a child denied of his toy. “As you can see, I got a new haircut…” sh
“Laurie didn’t come back last night, did she?” Deborah asked curiously as she stared at Paige on the other bed watching some of the Thai drama’s that she had recommended the previous night, and Paige shrugged, she wasn’t close with the lad so she didn’t care if she came back or not. “She is a grown ass lady, do you have to look out for her, do you think you're her mom?” Natalia asked as she did some touch up on her make-up, this was the last of their vacation and she would like to use the most of it, probably get the attention some of those attractive businessmen she met in the lounge last evening. “Everyone here needs to be looked out for,” Deborah’s brows curved and there was a taunting look on her face now. “Everyone except for you, because it’s clear you have other motives.” “I know you always want to pick a fight with me,” She sighed as she added one more layer of her fiery red lipstick to her already blood red lips, her eyes raised to glare at Deborah who was wearing a b
