Merry Christmas

Midas' POV There was total silence in the dinning area after Mr Rotman described how his daughter’s body was found. I guessed that everybody was wondering who could have killed a small girl like that. ‘How old was your daughter when she was murdered?’ Crystal asked. ‘She was almost three years old,' Mr Rotman answered. ‘Did you ever tell your wife about them before they were murdered?’ Edmond asked. Although Mr Rotman seemed too deep in thought to realize why Edmond had asked that question, my grandfather and I knew exactly what he was getting at. ‘I had to tell her the truth six months after I found Crystal and Pearl.’ ‘What was her reaction?’ I asked getting very interested. ‘She was angry at first that I hid such an important information from her. She later offered for Crystal and Pearl to live with us but Crystal refused insisting that she was okay where she was. My wife used to visit them once in a while just to see Pearl but when Crystal became uncomfortable wi

Surprise

Midas’ POV The sound of my phone roused me from my sleep. I grumbled about the disturbance and picked the phone without checking who was calling while adjusting Crystal properly on my arm. ‘Hello,’ I said into the phone. ‘Are you sleeping?’ Edmond asked as if he had never heard of anyone sleeping in broad day light. ‘I texted you, I told you to leave if you didn't see us come back downstairs in five minutes,' I hissed. lightly. ‘We left but we are back and we were almost not allowed into the gate by the mammoth at the entrance of the estate,' Edmond said. ‘What are you talking about?’ I asked in confusion. ‘The estate gate is filled with reporters who are demanding to see you. The gate is under a siege. I kid you not.’ ‘Damn it. Grandpa is going to kill me,' I muttered and that woke Crystal. ‘What is the problem Midas?’ Crystal asked worriedly. ‘There are reporters at the gate. Grandpa hates them. Go back to sleep. I will just go and do something about it befor

Final Nail

Eric's POV I threw the glass cup in my hand against the TV screen as I watched Midas St Clair address the press in front of his grandfather’s mansion in Paris. My secretary had called earlier to tell me about the leaked audio recording of the discussion between Midas St Clair and my momsister CC. She had also called me to tell me that there was a possibility of Midas addressing the press so I had stayed glued to the television station that was capturing everything live from Paris. I had initially thought that CC’s selfish act would for once bring something good for the family. I had noticed her attitude towards Midas the very day he had dinner with the family. I knew she wanted him. Following mum to Paris was actually an opportunity for her to get close to Midas. I had warned her before she left that she was not to do anything stupid to put the family in further trouble. When the picture of them just kissing at the party had broken the Internet, I had thought in relief that

I Choose You

Crystal’s POV My hands shook a little as I dropped the phone. Eric's words resonated in my head. Was it possible that Eric loved me or was he lying about it? I had not intended to call him but after Midas told me about my grandmother’s coming to Paris, I had left him downstairs just to clear my head. The excitement was drowning me. My eyes had caught my phone on the bed side table where I placed it and I decided to call Eric. Why I did it was beyond me. The moment I dropped the call, I wished I had not made the call. I debated within myself for minutes wondering if it were true that Eric was in love with me. At first, I wished he had shown me how much he cared when I was with him just maybe I would have gladly opened my heart to him without reservations. But then I snapped out of it. It was reality and not some fictional movie. Eric was lying about that. I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear Midas open the door and entered. Him calling my name startled me and the f

Old Friends?

Crystal's POV ‘I am beginning to think that you added weight since we got to Paris. I can feel pain from your weight’ Midas said as I lay on his chest after another round of mind blowing love making. ‘Are you calling me fat?’ I asked raising my head to look at him, feigning anger. Midas laughed hard pulling at my cheeks playfully. I joined him but soon stopped to just stare at him. ‘Why are you starring at me like that?’ Midas asked as his laughter turned to grin. ‘You are so handsome and it is so unbelievable that you are mine. I feel so blessed Midas,’ I said smiling at him. ‘The first time I got here after I was rescued from Roseville by grandpa, the first thing that came to my mind was that my wealth will be meaningless without you in it. Now that you are here, I feel so complete. I can't wait to announce to the world that you are mine,’ Midas said. I would have said something more cheesy but my stomach rumbled so loud that we started laughing at the same time. I co

Nowhere to Run

Eric's POV I came awake gradually as the knock on my car window continued gently. I opened my eyes and wound down. Two police officers were standing outside the car. Some nosy people in the neighborhood must have called the cops. ‘We noticed that your car has been parked here all night. We just wanted to make sure you are okay in here,’ one of the police officers said. ‘I am fine. I guess I slept off and forgot to go home,’ I said trying my best to smile. ‘Ok. But I might have to ask you to move your car because your presence here since last night has given some of the residents concern. Hope you understand sir?’ The other police officer said and I nodded in understanding. I knew the drift so I started the car and moved. I checked the mirror to see if they were standing there. As expected, they were standing at the spot where I just moved from watching me drive out of the street. When I was sure that I was out of their sight totally, I parked my car. My life as it was,

Grandma's Truth

Crystal’s POV I was confused with everything my grandmother was saying. She told me herself that she picked me up from a dumpster while she was digging through dumpsters to get food. ‘Grandma. I don't understand you at all. Who am I?’ I asked her with a deep frown. ‘You will all have to listen to my explanation and you Crystal, you need to listen to me with an open mind. Promise me you will not judge me until you have heard it all,' my grandmother said looking pitiful. ‘I promise Grandma,' I said. ‘Ok. Where do I start from?’ Grandma asked looking at Mr Rotman. ‘Start from when you took Pearl,' Mr Rotman said with anger very evident in his voice. ‘No. I think she should start from the beginning. Who were you to my mother?’ I said. I didn't want any details left out. It was obvious that Mr Rotman knew who she was to my mother but I needed to know too. ‘Okay. I met your mother when she was still pregnant with you. She was homeless because her landlord had thrown her ou

Disgusted

Eric's POV I sat in the car, watching her house from a distance, deliberating exactly how I intended to make her pay for what she had done. At a point, I wanted to turn back and just release the uncensored video to the Internet; of course, I had nothing more to lose as it was. Everything had already gone to ruins but I changed my mind and decided to confront her instead and tell her to expect her nude photos all over the internet the next day. If I go down, she goes with me. I would have gotten out of the car, but I stopped when a car came to a stop in front of her house, and a man well dressed came out looking like he had just walked out of a magazine cover. She opened the door instantly, the car parked, and rushed into the waiting hands of the other man. My blood boiled, I wasn't even out of the way yet and she was already in another man’s arms. I thought she said she cared about me. It all just showed that she didn't love me in any way whatsoever. I was sure that she must hav

Way Into Poverty

Eric's POV ‘You need to eat Eric. That is the only way you are getting out of this bed. You need to man up and stop behaving like a child,' Dad said angrily before leaving the room. I didn't have an appetite, but they seemed not to understand. How could I eat when my whole world had just crumbled. ‘For us to get out of this mess, we need our strength and our wits around us Eric. So starving yourself won't help you,’ Mum said coming to sit beside me. ‘Mum, in just a blink of an eye, I have lost everything. I realized too late that I could lose Crystal.’ ‘Crystal will come back Eric. She can't possibly leave her grandmother alone.’ ‘The Martins haven't contacted you?’ I asked Mum in surprise. ‘No, they haven't,' Mum answered. ‘I thought they were the ones who gave you this house.’ ‘No. That is another friend. Not them. Why did you ask if they have contacted me?’ ‘Crystal’s grandmother is missing alongside her caregiver.' ‘What! And those fools didn't deem it fi

A New Beginning

Midas’ POV ‘How did I do?’ Crystal asked me the moment the cameras were off. I pulled her up from the chair and pulled her straight into my chest. I kissed her lips gently before I answered her question. We had decided that Crystal should grant the interview to let the Conners off the hook for a while. Netizens were going wild on the Internet and people had placed a siege on their companies everywhere they were in Roseville. It was time to move on to the next line of action, hence the interview. ‘You did great babe. You were eloquent and you looked like a queen. Tell me, how did I get so lucky?’ ‘Stop being playful Midas. I am serious here,' Crystal said trying to push me away but I held on to her. ‘I am serious here too Crystal. You were magnificent,’ I said then kissed her neck. She shivered in my hands then blushed. I knew she was uncomfortable with the camera crew still in there but I just wanted to hold her. ‘Mr St Clair, I will be on my way now,’ Theresa the hos
