“Crystal, please hear us first…”
I am perplexed as to what would I feel. Whether it was anger, joy, sadness, or betrayal.
I'm frightened.
“If you've known for a long time, then why? Noah, why did you hide everything from me? You already confessed it to Trina, but why didn't you tell me the truth when I should be the one to know?! WHY!!?” I can already feel the blockage in my throat with the blurring of my eyes.
My heart is thumping intensely causing extreme pain. I felt as if someone is squeezing my heart. My mouth fell open as I punch my chest continually.
I saw in the corner of my eye that Noah approached me and raised his hand to my face.
“Look at me.” I heard him whisper.
I am so upset that I can't even raise my chin and glance at him.
“Crystal, please… Look at me... I'm begging you, please hear me first.”
I continue to ignore him.
“Amara.”
My gaze shifted directly to Noah as the
“I'm going back to New Jersey and ask my mother everything I should know,” I said in full determination. I know it’s important to charge the Spencers family with everything they did to me, to Noah, to Blade, and family. But, compared to my dilemmas, Maybe it would be better to choose to build myself first. How can someone as weak as I wrecked a fully established family. I have to go back to my mother because she knows better every reason why she took me away. I don't want to think that she once again ruined my life. I want to be mad with her. But I can’t do it because I know she has reasons. I know I said then that I would not return to New Jersey without having succeeded here in Denmark. But, I think I did become successful in finding my own treasure. I found a family here that can also be the reason for my return to New Jersey. “I'm going with you.” Noah brought me back to reality. I was stunne
“Wake up sleepy head. It’s past 3 pm in the afternoon. You haven’t eaten anything yet.” I heard someone’s voice along with the gentle jiggling of my body. I howled as I tried to pull back the blanket that is being snatched from me now. “Crystal… come on, wake up...” “Hmm… I don’t-” Wait a second, isn’t that Liam’s voice? Oh my god, Crystal… “Hey, come on, get up. You have to at least eat something.” Liam forcefully snatches from me the blanket that covers my face. I didn’t want to let it go because it is so embarrassing. Did I really sleep in Liam’s room? For real? And what did he say? It’s already past 3 pm in the afternoon? The heck? “Hey… seriously. You might get sick if you won’t have something to eat.” Liam uttered in a hushed tone. I felt a hand grab my head and it gently lifted me up. Liam removed the blanket that covered my face as he stared into my
“You’re going back home?” Liam asked and it was as if I had just heard his voice like this. “Yes, I have to talk with my mom about the whole truth. Why did she take me away from Noah and his- our dad… ” When Liam suddenly got up from his seat my eyebrow furrowed. “What’s wrong? Why are you so jittery? ” “Before you go back to New Jersey. I have to show you something, and you have to trust me. ” He said as if he was restless. “I don’t think I can trust you again Liam.’ I said at the back of my head. “What will you show me? Is it that important? Because Noah and I have to leave tomorrow morning to go back to New Jersey.” I'm also confused because of Liam's rage. What is going on and is he suddenly like this? That he seemed excited or he just had a worm in his stomach. “Just come along with me,” he said as he grabbed my hand and dragged me outside. I tried to control his wa
“You're not kidding, we're really going to ride a speed boat…” I am at lost as I am staring at the sea. “Why would I lie to you?” I looked down when I felt Liam hold my hand slowly. I looked up to see him but he was just smiling and waiting for the speed boat to arrive. Why is Liam acting like this? Why does his treatment of me seem to have changed? He never treated me like this before. My lips parted as I was about to say something, but I couldn’t continue and just waited for the boat to arrive. There's something in me that I want him to stay like this… “Let's go.” Liam took care of me when the speed boat arrived. I just chose not to speak and quietly followed what Liam wanted to happen. After all, he said that we're going to a place that was important to me. Even though I was confused by Liam’s actions, I shouldn’t have lost my composure. It is dangerous to be with him alone in the wate
I laughed bitterly loud. “Have you forgotten, Crystal? We're still legally married,” Liam added, causing the corner of my lips to twitch and create a smirk. “Married by paper. Even your own cruel mouth proclaimed it. You may also have forgotten why we both got married? You wedded me because you were in desperate need of someone. And I— simply promised to marry you in exchange for a great sum of money, which I badly needed.” I blurted fiercely, as my stare was not deviating from him. “After I finished my job, you gave me the money you promised. You helped me out financially, but you entirely shattered me. I don’t even know if I should thank you.” I was given a large sum of money in exchange for my marriage to Liam, and I won't deny that it helped me financially during m
“Why do you look so weary?” Noah asked as soon as I got to their house. “Did that Spencer happen to do something to you again?” I glared at him as I took off my bag, and Liam's coat. “Why are you glaring at me?” He rose from his seat as he helped me put my bag on the table. “Where is Trina?” I asked. “Noah, you should be nicer to her. Trina doesn’t like being restrained, so just support her in everything and accept who she is. Besides, she's already like that before you two met. Trina never wears intimidating dresses to grab men's attention-” “You don’t have to worry Crystal, we’re all good. She’s in my room and talking to your sister.” Oh, right.
My hands trembled as I stared at his message on my phone. I don't know if I will just double tap his message and leave him on seen. I have run out of words to say. What am I? A teenager? How can a single text from a person make me blush. I'm not even a teenager who's just experiencing an infatuation. It's like the feeling that your long-time crush messaged you unexpectedly, and it will make your heart seem to be suffocated with the force of its beating. You are lost in words and can't help but to smile. I positioned my fingers on the keyboard to reply to his message. [Liam? What are you doing on i***a? And why have you created an account just now?]
“Hey.” I heard someone’s voice as I was in the depth of my dreams. “Mmm?” I groaned and still did not open my eyes. I tried to straighten my body because I feel a bit sore on my hip caused by my position. “Hey Crystal, we're in New Jersey.” I was taken aback by Noah's words. I quickly peeked out the window and saw the flight attendants and staff personnel waving at us. “Finally, we’re in the place where you and Trina grew up. I can’t wait to see some places where you guys can enjoy yourselves.” Noah's voice sounds happy. I'm glad he is lighting up my mood.
“Is she still locked up in her room?” “Yes, dad. Since we got back, Crystal hasn't come out.” Blade stated. “I overheard Amara sobbing.” She pretended to be tough. But the truth is, she was deeply upset by what the other people had to say. If she'd just let me present her to the general public, that would be good. My daughter isn't a gold digger. She's a goddamn Dawson!” he yelled, his rage palpable across the room. “— and how come her husband is nowhere to be found? Is he not planning on visiting his wife?” “It's possible he's still in the manor, father.” When Crystal came down the stairs with a suitcase, the two of them came to a halt in their conversation. Blade leaped to his feet and offered to assist he
[Crystal] I didn't seem to have a good dream last night. I dreamed of water and I believe it was a bad omen. I immediately get out of bed after resting for a bit. Fortunately, my morning sickness was not that bad. Such a well-mannered child for not torturing its mother. I plan to go to a doctor today for a check-up and to know the gender of my baby. I think I can ask Liam to go with me. It is the reason why I am so excited that I wake up so early. Whatever the gender of this child will be, I will accept it wholeheartedly and support my child. My hand slightly raised and rubbed my belly. I promise to protect and take care of you, my baby.
[Crystal] Today is the day when Liam plans to tell his family about our child. When we got back from Khun Wanida resort, everything went well and there were no problems. Dad continues to help Blade and Maddison. I can hardly talk to Blade and them every time they are at home. I chose to stay at my father's house. I don't want to cram myself into Spencer's manor. Also, I am more comfortable with it. So far the investigation into the search for their son Blade is ongoing. However, they still do not have information because Maddison's father, Mr. Butler, does not come out of the manor, which i
“I know how important my return is to you. Especially and I saw firsthand with my own eyes how much you missed me during the times I was missing. But, I hope you also understand my decision not to let the public know. It is also for the safety of our future child. I don’t want the time to come to confuse him with the various articles he finds on the internet, or with what people have to say. It is enough for me that you and Noah know that I am still alive and that I have come back to you that I have lost my family. So, I hope you understand me. ” I sincerely muttered while not taking my eyes off my father. “I also don't want to bring up what happened in the past. I don't want to mention my mother here, and especially the events of the past that she wants to forget. ” Mr. was stunned for a moment. Dawson before a smile flash
When Crystal entered the room reserved for them by Maddison she saw that Blade was still inside and they seemed to be talking about something. Crystal didn't hear what they were talking about because they became silent once she got inside as well. Before Blade came out, Crystal followed him with sharp glances. Blade didn't look at Crystal and looked just straight at him until he got out of the door. Silence narrowly enveloped the inner of the room after Blade came out. Both Maddison and Crystal are skeptical of the moves they will make. Crystal was about to step forward to look at the suitcase; she didn't know what the only clothes were when Maddison suddenly blurted out.
[THIRD-PERSON POV] Along the way, Crystal could no longer resist her drowsiness. This is also because she is pregnant. Because she needs more sleep now compared to when she is not yet carrying a baby in her womb. Maddison was just staring out the window and seemed to be deep in thought, as were Blade and Liam. Not even one of them intended to speak. As a result, silence enveloped them. Crystal's father, Mr. Dawson let out a series of sighs as he looked back and forth at the three. One reason he plans on vacation is to have time with Crystal, especially now that she knows who she really is. But, another reason he does this is he wants to have peace between Blade, Maddison, and Liam.
“Where are we going, Blade?” I asked him but he didn't seem to have any plans to tell me. After he conveyed to me earlier the problem he and Maddison were facing, as well as the help Noah had promised, his phone suddenly rang and he received a call. After Blade answered it, he suddenly told me to get in the car, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. I can't understand what's going on. When I asked Blade who called, he told me it was Mr. Dawson phoned and told both of us to go to a certain location. Which Blade doesn't tell me. He just shut his mouth and didn't utter any words. &nb
[Crystal] "What do you mean you didn't take Noah home with you to Denmark?" I was shocked at the tone of Blade's voice. It sounds disgusting and seems furious at me. His eyes are full of desperation and I can feel his sadness. Maybe he's really mad at me, “I-I can’t push him to go b-back here, Blade. Noah decided to stay in New Jersey for a few more days.” I defended myself honestly. “He wants to fix his relationship with Trina before he comes back here again. And I don’t know how many more days it will take before that thing happens. I’m not sure what will happen there. Now, Noah is anxious, he can't talk because of the quarrel between him and Trina. I could have done nothing but agree as he wished no
[THIRD PERSON-POV] “Are you sure that they would help us?” Maddison whispered to Blade, trying to lower her voice for fear that someone would hear her. “Don’t worry. They are my friends. I am certain that they would do everything to help us. But—” Blade took a long pause before he continued. “The only thing that they might never give you, is to take Liam away from Crystal. She is pregnant with Liam's child, and even if I am swearing him to death, I would never want to take away the father of the innocent child.” Maddison seemed saddened by that fact. Not because of how he felt about Liam, but because of how her father would react. “We will do everything to find our son. Just trust me, Maddi. They are coming back to Denmark
