Keep on reading muahhh :3
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
“It’s a wrap, congratulations to us all.” Deborah and Lena chorused, the rest of the design team clapped, Crystal fall into her chair and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, if the project becomes as successful as it is anticipated to be, then she as one of the main designers would be recognized not just by Mrs. Darling, but also her co-investors. Probably after her divorce with Kayden, she might be opportune to work somewhere else, this is the exposure she is hoping to get. Once her skills get to the right audience, she would be getting a lot of designing jobs. Of course, she wouldn’t just be drawing shoes, but drawing shoes isn’t as bad as she expected. “Team Deborah, we need to get back to the resort so we can prepare to attend the fireworks festival.” Deborah advised and the team got up, packing up their things. Crystal yawned loudly, maybe she could get some sleep, since Kayden woke up in the morning and disappeared; she didn’t know where he went to but when she got to the
“You are going to display fireworks for my win,” She smiled brightly, throwing her hands up in the air, can’t she get any louder? Kayden shook his head, with the understanding that she was drunk at the moment. A loud bang in the distance, suddenly there was chaos, and the atmosphere changed, the projectiles ricocheting one after the other, and colorful lights filled the black sky of the night. Crystal raised her hands dramatically, like a child, in an attempt to feel the debris of the fireworks. Kayden felt a sudden vibration from the pocket of his coat, he slipped his left hand into it and fumbled for the phone, he glanced at the caller ID, it was Doctor Miguel and immediately he knew he needed to answer the call in private. “Crystal, Crystal,” he called out softly but crystal only turned within a split seconds and continued gazing at the beautiful lit sky because she was so engrossed with the fireworks display making her not to pay attention to what was happening around her. “I w
Just as Kayden said, someone was coming for them, but he didn’t mention he was asking a helicopter to pick them up, and instead of an eight-hour journey, it only took them an hour and thirty minutes to get them to the hospital. Crystal couldn’t be any more grateful than she already is now, during the journey Kayden didn’t stop holding her hands, to show his support and concern. It was very surprising… “Doctor Miguel,” Kayden called as they approached the averagely old man who was discussing with a female assistant, The man glanced at them and his face softened immediately as he walked up to them. “Kayden, I apologize for calling you so suddenly, but I had no other way to reach Mrs. Smith.” He apologized as he extended his hands for a handshake, which Kayden took immediately. “You called the right person; you need not worry.” He withdrew his hand and slipped it back into his pocket. “Is everything okay? Is my mother okay? Can I see her?” Crystal asked a little bit impatient, and th
