Anxiety Filled Wait

Crystal's POV I smiled to myself as I walked around the penthouse in admiration. I had been there for three days but I was yet to get over the beauty of the whole place. I didn't go back home to Eric's house the day Midas’ personal assistant had called Eric's mother to get me to Midas’ office. Midas had actually shown me that he was indeed wealthy because a complete wardrobe was delivered to the pent house the next morning after I got there. The only thing that saddened me was the fact that Midas had refused to spend time with me at the pent house. He came and rarely spent five minutes before leaving. He said we would be going to Paris and he was getting everything ready and some other excuses about attending to important things before we left. If I hadn't known better, I would have said that he was avoiding me. Thinking of his behavior again at that moment, I concluded that he was definitely avoiding me. The door to the pent house opened but I didn't bother to turn

Contentment

Midas' POV ‘All my way here, I kept wondering why you might want to see me Mr Eric Conner. I expected that you will be out there trying to rectify your mess so that it will not affect your company. Remember I have an investment there? I don't like wasting my money,' I said immediately I entered my secretary's office where Eric was waiting for me. ‘Mr St Clair. I am actually here in that regard,’ Eric said and stood up to greet me. I shook his extended hand but I felt an overwhelming feeling to squeeze his hand and make him roll on the floor in pain. The son of a gun took what was mine and made her see hell in the process. ‘What do you think I can do for you?’ I asked him with an unsmiling business mode face. ‘Can I speak to you privately?’ Eric asked casting a worried look at my secretary. ‘Sure. Come with me,’ I said then turned around and walked to my office with Eric coming behind me. We entered my office and I offered him a seat. He looked worried that I would have

Welcome Home

Crystal's POV ‘Welcome on board ma'am,’ an air hostess said as I got on the plane. I smiled in acknowledgment of her greeting while trying as much as I could to hide my excitement at boarding a plane for the first time in my life I kept looking around as she led me to a seat on the plane. I was smiling as I looked around. I had never thought that I would ever board a plane, not to talk of an expensive-looking one like the one I was in. ‘Welcome onboard ma'am,' another person greeted me as I got to the seat the hostess had pointed out. She was not dressed like the hostess so I knew she wasn't an air hostess the very moment I set my eyes on her. She was wearing a well-tailored suit and pants, and she looked impeccable with her hair tied up in a bum. ‘Thank you,’ I said smiling at her. ‘My name is Natasha. I will be your escort for this journey, and I will see to your needs,’ she said, and I nodded happily as I sat down. Midas had mentioned that there would be someone with me o

Confusion

Crystal's POV ‘It is good to finally get to meet you, Crystal. I have heard a lot of beautiful things about you,' Midas’ grandfather said after Midas and I finally went inside the house to join him in the sitting room. ‘The pleasure is all mine sir. I have heard beautiful things about you too. Thanks for coming to Midas' rescue,' I said sincerely. ‘Now, that is nothing to thank me for, young lady. Midas is all I have got. I lost my wife very early and stood my ground never to remarry, just to honor the memory of the love that we shared. I raised Midas’ father single-handedly, but he too was taken away from me along with his wife, and then I lost Midas. If I didn't come looking for my grandchild what will I gain?’ Midas’ grandfather was smiling as he said those words but I wasn't fooled. I could see the pain in his eyes. ‘I am sorry for your loss, sir,’ I said, looking away from the old man. I could feel his pain. My grandmother was the only one in the world that I had. I imagi

Traumatized

Midas’ POV ‘You have been picking your food Crystal. Aren't you hungry?’ I asked. Ever since I got downstairs to meet her with a barely touched pie, I knew something was wrong. I asked her if she was okay and she said she was okay. I had finished the rest of the pie and playfully told her that I was glad she didn't eat it. She had only given me a tight lipped smile. ‘I am fine. I guess I am tired,’ Crystal said without raising her head from the food to look at me. ‘It is your first time boarding a plane right?’ My grandfather asked her. ‘Yes. It was exciting though but I guess it affected me and I didn't know it,’ Crystal said to my grandfather and she raised her head to look at him. She was lying! I knew Crystal too well to buy her lies. She was angry and bothered about something but she wouldn't even say anything. I knew that whenever she was angry, she would keep mute and I had to say something to make her more angry so that she would say exactly what the problem was.

Unexpected

Midas POV ‘You should try to smile a little you know? You are the host. Going around with a long face might scare the guest,’ Edmond said coming to join me where I was standing in front of the bar attender. ‘Does it look like I care?’ I asked. The party was in full swing, very few of the invited guests were yet to arrive. The whole place smelt of rich perfume both pleasing and unpleasing ones. I didn't enjoy social gatherings but I had to endure because I was a public figure and some things were expected of me. Blending in at first had been difficult because of the type of background that I had but when I discovered that I didn't have to do much, I had accepted my fate and just sat through them. I talked, smiled and greeted when it was necessary. ‘Tell me what crawled up your ass and died there?’ Edmond asked raising a brow. ‘Why are you here badgering me with questions Edmond? I thought you were supposed to pick up a certain DNA.' ‘That is fine already actually,’ E

Tons of Lies

Crystal's POV I looked at the clock in the sitting room for the umpteenth time. I knew that Midas had told me to go to sleep because he would be coming late but I couldn't bring myself to go to sleep when he was still out. I wished I had gone to the party with him but I knew it was better that I stayed away. There would be paparazzi everywhere for such an event and we didn't want to raise suspicions yet. Midas had left in the morning after he made sure that I had an early breakfast. He had said he needed to take care of somethings at the office before the party in the evening. He had made me promise to tell him what triggered my question when he returned. I had only promised him because I wanted him to drop the topic but when I saw the way Reine looked at him when she helped him take his bag to the car, I decided I was going to tell him. I would not say I was jealous per say but I just wasn't comfortable staying under the same roof with someone who said Midas had slept with

A Twin

Crystal’s POV I stared at the fainting man in utter shock. Midas was trying his utmost best to hold him up but when he saw that the older man's eyes were tightly closed, he swore as he swung into action and quickly got the older man's hands around his neck while shouting for help. I quickly joined Midas so that we could take the older man outside where there was fresh air. ‘My goodness! What happened?’ A man who looked like one of the farmers asked when we got outside. He must have heard Midas shouting for help. ‘Get the car. I think he just had a heart attack,' Midas said. The man rushed off then returned shortly driving a car. The man got down and opened the doors before rushing to our side to relieve me of the weight. I sighed in relief as I stretched my back. He was a grown man so holding him up was difficult. I had expected that Midas would ask me to stay back when I was about getting in the car but he didn't. He only looked at me for a second as if he was deliberati

War

Midas’ POV I gritted my teeth in annoyance as Crystal and I watched CC granting interview about the relationship between her and I. The picture of her kissing me at the party the previous day had gone viral. The press must have contacted her to give a speech about it and the fool had foolishly jumped at the opportunity. ‘Why have you both kept your relationship a secret?’ A reporter asked in the crowd. ‘We did that initially because my sister-in-law, Crystal Martins wanted my man Midas for herself and she had been walking underground to destroy us. We had to curb her first so that we are sure that our love can grow without antagonism,’ CC said smiling at the camera. ‘Where is your sister-in-law now?’ Another reporter asked her. ‘She ran away after she discovered that we now know her antics,’ CC said. ‘Are you sure that is why your sister-in-law ran away? Because the story from your country at Roseville is that your brother’s sex video went viral,’ another reporter said

His Story

Crystal’s POV I sighed as I sat before the mirror brushing my hair distractedly. It was my first Christmas away from Eric and his torture in years. Saying I was happy was mincing words. I was elated. Midas had returned the previous night and explained everything and how it went to me. CC had posed for a picture with him and it was all over the internet before we went to sleep. The billionaire finally stepped out with his beautiful fiance. Some netizens expressed their surprise at the relationship, some had reservations while others saw it as a match made in heaven. I had meticulously read every comment until Midas had enough and took the phone away from me. ‘A penny for your thoughts, Pixie,’ Midas said as he stood there cleaning water out of his hair with a towel in his hand while another towel was wrapped around his waist, hanging dangerously low. I watched as water dripped down his abs. Midas had always been handsome, but with maturity and workouts, he had become an e
