Prologue

 Crystal felt a little fluttering in her stomach and tried to she keep her face as neutral as possible "good afternoon sir, how can I help you?" "Please drop the formality. Its just Michael to you and I brought you lunch" he was still smiling What's with this man? dosen't he ever give up or was he too blind to see the handwriting on the wall. "oh thanks but am not hungry. Am too busy right now" she kept her eyes on the screen in front of her. "I appreciate your zeal. But I am the boss and I'm saying we take off sometime to eat. Just 30 minutes" he tried to convince her "I'm really sorry but as you can see I have a lot of work to do. I'm actually behind schedule" Crystal focused intently on her laptop, she didn't want to feel guilty. Looking at him will make feel like she was doing something wrong by saying no "Is it so bad that I want to

Chapter 1

The alarm gave a loud shrilling sound. Crystal groaned and burrowed further under the covers grumbling something about getting her morning sleep only for her to sit up straight some minutes later.. Oh crap! She had forgotten that today was the day of her project defence. She suddenly felt very nervous. After saying a short prayer, she scrambled out of the bed and hopped into the bathroom for a quick shower. She hurriedly dressed in a light purple suit with black flats, her braids were held up in the middle of her head and her make up lightly done. Satisfiedwith her appearance, she hurried out and hailed a taxi giving him directions to the campus. Her palms were already sweaty by the time she got to school and she tried very hard to get herself together as she made her way over to the waiting room besides the hall that was to be used for the defence. As soon as her best friend kel

Chapter 2

******Crystal felt a pang of sadness as she packed the stuffs in her room into the box she will be travelling with. She was going home today and although she was happy to finally become a graduate, she was still sad at leaving because she would really miss her room and the people around her but she consoled herself at the thought that it was part of life to move from one stage to another. She was to be travelling with Kelly that morning as they were both going to Lagos although they lived in different parts of the city. She lived in Ikoyi Lagos while her best friend lived in Victoria Island Lagos which means they will still get to see each other often. The two months following her defence had come and gone, results were out and certificates had been issued. Crystal made a CGPA of 4.31 a bit higher than her best friend who made a CGPA of 4.0. As she entered the bathroom she couldn't help but feel that so far things had gone really well

Chapter 3

******Two weeks had passed since Crystal came home and she was still confused about what to do. She was very eager to become the editor she has always wanted to be but she knew that the extra knowledge she would get during her editing program was also important. She decided to go on her knees and say a short prayer for guidance. "Father lord, I thank you for your grace and mercy on my life. Thank you for being faithful even in the face of my unfaithfulness. Lord I pray that you help me and guide me through every step of my life, help me to know what to do and the right place to go, Amen". After saying this prayer, she felt like she knew exactly what to do and wondered why she kept from praying for guidance till now. With what to do on her mind, she went downstairs to help her mum make dinner. After dinner she faced her parents "dad, mum I have thought very carefully about my next line of action

*******Working for Tonads publishing house was not as easy as she had hoped, although it was a thrilling experience to finally do something that she loved. Her major task was editing. Which she did alongside other editors in the company. Crystal woke up in the morning feeling great....she said her prayers and then glanced at the clock...seeing that she had barely thirty minutes to spare, she hurriedly got up to get ready for work. She looked pretty smart in her pencil skirt and light red top with silver heels to match... taking one more look around her cozy apartment she headed off to work. Today was really going to be a busy day... she thought as she buzzed into the office building. She made her way to her to her desk stopping every now and then to exchange pleasantries with the workers she passed on her way. As she got to her desk, she looked at the pile of papers stocked there and gave a lou

Chapter 5

*******Crystal hurried after the nurse who led the way to her mum's room...once at the door she mumbled her thanks and took a moment to collect herself before entering the room.... Still she was'n't prepared for the sight that greeted her ...a sob escaped her throat as she took in her mum's pale and fragile form.... What could she do to turn back the wheels of time to a month earlier... Even a week earlier would be fine with her but not this. She quietly approached the bed and sat beside her mum taking her both hands in her own... "Mum..." she whispered brokenly Her mum's eyes fluttered open at the sound of her voice "Crystal" her mum smiled weakly. "How are you feeling?" Crystal asked squeezing her hand "A little bit weak, but don't worry I will be fine. How are you?" her mum said reaching out her hand to Crystal and her dad who had been silent the who

*******Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months with Crysral's mum getting better and better. She had just been declared a survivor and was discharged to go home. The next day did not come early enough for Crystal. She tossed throughout the night and was glad to see daylight. Her mum was coming home today so it didn't really matter whether she slept or not. After a quick shower, she hurried over to the hospital without even bothering to eat. As soon as she got to the hospital, she barged into her mum's room to find her mum sitting at the edge of the bed slowly munching a snack. Crystal rushed to her side "hey mum" she beamed giving her a kiss on her cheek "Hey yourself" her mum smiled at her "You get to go home today, are you excited?" she asked "Sure I am, this place is eating up my insides with boredom" her mum replied pretending to frown

Chapter 7

******Crystal wondered at her attraction to the unknown man... she had spent the better part of her night thinking about him..she was'n't the kind of person to think about someone she just met.. As she prepared for work, his face drifted through her mind and she almost looked forward to seeing him... Then she remembered that she didn't even know his name. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she hurried out of the house. A memo had been circulated informing them to gather at the conference room by noon for a brief meeting as the publisher wanted to address the staff in the editing department. Crystal was a bit curious as there had been no call for a meeting with the head publisher since she began working there. Few minutes to noon, Crystal finished off what she was working on and left for the meeting glad that she at least knew the way to the conference room. Approaching the conference room, Crystal wondered if the mysterious man sh

Chapter 8

********Damn this feelings.... Crystal thought as she got ready for work. A few weeks had gone since Michael asked her to lunch. She found herself thinking about him more than normal. Even though she wanted to be really close to him, she resolved to do the opposite. She didn't want to go through the heartbreak that was bound to happen if they entered a relationship. Like they say 'once a player; always a player.   She arrived the office about ten minutes late and quickly got on with the days activities. Soon Kelly popped in   "Hi girl" she greeted cheerily settling herself on one of the chairs.   Crystal looked at her friend closely. It seemed as if she had this glow around her "What's with the radiant look this morning" she asked her   "Its obvious isn't it?" Kelly smiled   "What is obvious?" Crystal looked confused   "OMG... Crystal he proposed... we ar

********With all the wedding preparations, Crystal didn't know when the month sped by. The wedding was already here. Crystal advised her friend to get enough rest promising to wake her up bright and early the next day. True to her word, she woke Kelly up as early as five am so they could say their prayers together and then make sure everything was in place. When the make-up artist arrived, crystal shooed Kelly to her room to get ready. By 10am they were already at the church. With the way Kelly was griping her hand she was sure she would end up with blisters. "Crys am nervous'' Kelly was still squeezing her hand 'Hey...its okay to be nervous. Infact I would be surprised if you weren't nervous. When you get in there just focus on the face of your man, trust me every other face would drift away" crystal assured her "Thank you for everything... Your the best friend anyone could ask for" tears th
