The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Raising his head to his guard, he asked how his niece was doing and what she had been up to since morning. The guard who was standing at her door and who had taken turns with another, related to Max how Crystal had been crying the whole day.

“She will eventually calm down she is not the first to be in such a situation”, he spoke out adjusting himself on the chair but later got up upstairs to see his niece as he needed her to be fine for the next day.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Blaze sat on his sofa watching TV and he decided to forget about Crystal and her beauty as it would only make him more frustrated. Letting out a high sigh, he picked up the TV remote and changed the channels to find the suitable ones to entertain himself.

Crystal had found some sleep as her head had begun hitting so much that she could not control it. Listening to her uncle talking to the guard outside, she opened her eyes and closed them at the same as she did not want to talk with him.

When Max was inside her room, he looked at how her room was in a mess and he smiled walking closer to her and sitting down by her on her bed. Taking out his right hand and caressing her hair, he spoke to her asking for her forgiveness about how he was treating her and he said that he just wants the best for her.

Wondering in her mind how such a man will say that he wants the best for his niece whereas he is forcing her into marriage. Keeping her eyes shut as she pretended that she was sleeping, she kept her breathing at a normal level.

He kissed her forehead and rising to his feet, he walked to the door and turning to look at her, he smiled and went out of the room. Crystal opening her eyes after realizing that he was gone, sat on her bed and wept some more.

Going down the stairs, Max ordered Gina to meet with him in his office as they had something to discuss. Gina nodded in agreement as she followed him with the platter of juice in her hands.

Reaching his office, Max pushed the door with his right hand, and with the left, he ushered Gina inside and she placed the platter on the table keeping her head bowed down. Waiting for her boss to say what he had to say, she heard him say,

” I need you to take care of the house tomorrow as it will be a grand day in this Mansion”.

Max was serious about what he had just said and Gina raising her head asked what she had to do Max taking his seat, reminded Gina of the event that was to take place tomorrow and how decorations were to be made.

“The food will be cooked out of the house so you need not worry about it”, he spoke out folding his fingers.

Gina was not happy at all as could be seen on her face but there was nothing she could do. With that being said, Max told her to go back to her duty post as she got some rest for the next day.

Gina lowering her gaze nodded in understanding to her boss and with a quick turn, she left for the kitchen.

” I have to do something real quick tomorrow if not her life will be damaged”, Gina spoke out, running her hands in her hair not knowing what to do.

Tightening her grip on her, she caressed her hair wiring off her tears while Georgia kept on weeping and cursing Jake for what he had done to her.

” I could not believe my ears when I went to his apartment and I could hear music playing from inside his flat when I knocked I heard footsteps walking towards the door and he unlocked it, the sight of me his Face dropped like a thief and he unlocked me from going into his house when I wanted to”, she narrated all these with pain in her heart and tears in her eyes.

Catching a glimpse of the fervor that had cropped up on Crystal’s face, one could tell that she was feeling so much pain that Georgia was in that situation.

Using her chin to keep her friend’s head from moving up and down, she pulled her body against hers, preventing her from shaking so much.

Crystal was hungry but at the same time, she could not leave her friend in such a manner to eat food, so she carried on with what she was doing.

“Why me Crystal, why did he have to do this to me, am I not beautiful enough or am I not classy enough that he had to go back to his ex-girlfriend?”, her pain could be felt like a spasm of lightening but there was nothing she could do at that moment.

Georgia told her friend to recall how she made her leave her friends who always dodged classes and also helped her with her grades in school.

“You were the perfect student though you had all the wealth that some of us did not have Crystal”, she proceeded with her solace to her friend.

Crystal who could not help but cry as she was thinking of all the things she had been through asked her friend why she always felt like a failure when she was with her uncle.

Georgia was now certain that she was having issues that she did not want to talk about and she was ready to find out what it was as she is her friend.

Raising her hand and touching her friend’s hair with it, she whispered in a smooth voice,

” You know that you do not have to go home if you do not feel as right?”,

“Calm down girl, it is just going to be something normal as usual”, she tried her best to calm down herself.

Uncle Max had already left her room heading to the office but Crystal still had an unfinished business for the day and it was time for her to trash it out once and for all.

She took her shower and rinsed her body well before leaving the bathroom and drying herself with a clean white towel.

Blaze had already left for work early that morning as he had some pertinent stuff to do in the office before his staff started to show up.

He had asked the maids to make something delicious for him for dinner.

He left for the office but with his driver taking him as he did not feel as to drive.

Crystal was all set to leave the house and go face her enemy.

She went and picked up her bag and her car keys leaving her room with a straight face.

Gina was downstairs just about to go to Crystal’s room when she saw her come down in a hurry.

” Will you not have breakfast this morning before heading out?”, Gina asked as Crystal crossed her saying good morning and rushing out of the house.

She entered her car sat in it and put on her safety belt making herself comfortable as she drove out of their compound.

Georgia’s name appeared on her phone screen as she maneuvered her car taking the road that leads to the main section.

Her day had started but she did not know how it was going to be and just when she was about to take her call, it stopped ringing.

A message came in and she saw that it was from Georgia.

“I will reply to you in a bit Georgia”, she said to herself as she kept on driving to Blaze Jadiel’s house.

Crystal drove looking out through her mirrors and seeing the beauty of the streets with its participants.

She was delighted seeing how everything was well placed in nature and her heart skipped a million times.

She drove past lots of people, and marts with several buildings, but she could still remember what Blaze’s house looked like even with her eyes closed.

” The house of that scamp could never be erased from my memory”, she murmured alone in her car.
