They had just reached the Hilton hotel, the very same hotel that hold memories of their first night together."Krystie, can you do me a favor, there is a gala night event and I would like you to accompany me?" Lucian had requested his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

The gala night.Curiosity flickered across Krystie's face as Ronnie drove along the city to a beauty parlor. "We are here," Ronnie spoke as he parked the car."Come, let us do a little makeover," Lucian spoke holding out his hand for Krystie. Krystie hesitated, unsure of what to expect, but Lucian's reassuring smile eased her nerves. She nodded, allowing herself to be guided towards a plush leather chair.The manager welcomed them in and led her to the VIP section. As the stylist began to work their magic on her, Krystie relaxed into the chair, letting the stress of the day melt away.

As Krystie made her way towards the washrooms, a young attendant followed her. She had been transferred a large amount of money to do such a simple task, and as she was short of cash, she was never going to let such a chance slip away. "Target on the move!"The attendant had just received the notification, which was a clue for her to take action, and without wasting time, she immediately stopped serving the drinks and followed Krystie down the hallway. Immediately Krystie entered the washroom, with a glance around to ensure no one was watching, the attendant deftly switched off the lights from the main switch, and locked the door behind her, plunging the washrooms into darkness.To ensure the effectiveness of her work, she placed a board written, 'under maintenance,' and hurriedly left, her work was done. Inside the washroom, Krystie stood frozen in the darkness, her heart pounding in her chest like a drum. Every breath felt like a struggle as the darkness pressed in around her, suf

"Here we are! She is the girl that locked you up in the washroom at the gala, and I just had my men interrogate her, she confessed that she was sent by Cassandra." Lucian spoke as he stood a disheveled-looking girl. Looking at the girl before her, Krystie could not help but sympathize with her she must have been beaten up or something before they came over, evident from the several wounds and blood strips on her clothes."Why did you do that?" Krystie asked eyeing the girl with a straight expression, her expression unreadable, she could clearly remember the trauma that she had just passed through because of this girl, making her insides burn with anger. The girl didn't even lift her head to look at them, she played dumb, and just as Lucian moved forward to force her to speak up, Krystie held up her hand, stopping him in his tracks."Don't!" she said, her voice firm with determination. "I appreciate your concern, but I need to handle this on my own. You can trust me on this. I can do

No way!" Raymond spoke hurriedly, he was never going to risk his life that way but seeing the smirk on her lips he knew immediately that he had been played.Raymond, Chloe, and Krystie had attended the same school from kindergarten, and Raymond had always noticed how protective of her younger sister Krystie had been that he had always been afraid to mess up with Chloe, it was something else to deal with Krystie Jackson!

Lucian asked when he could no longer contain it.It was already a week ever since Krystie had dealt with that girl, Lucian didn't know what exactly she did to her because Ronnie had reported to him that the girl had gone completely crazy. It was not his concern, as long as Krystie was happy with it."You don't have to worry about that, I got a surprise for her, it's just a matter of time before she gets to enjoy it," Krystie spoke with her usual straight expression face and Lucian could swear that he had seen a mischievous glint only that when he blinked to confirm it was already gone, so he was not sure whether he had seen it right.
