Chapter 53
“That was what I was about suggesting to you boss because I do not think that her friend knows where Crystal is but my boys and I are going to monitor each of her movements till we find a lead”, he ascertains.
Max bringing about a smile on his face for the great idea, made a sign with his left hand, the guard understood that he had to leave the room and he instantly picked up his phone to call his friend Bassey to ask him the next step to take.
The decorations had remained downstairs and the event had stopped painfully for Max. His heart kept on rising and feeling like he could not take the embarrassment anymore, he stood at his only thinking of the next step to take as he knew that, Bethany was not going to sit down and do anything while her inheritance was still with him.
” Hope you feel good now?”, Blase inquired caressing her face while Crystal just laid back taking a look at him. Nodding positively to his question, she thanked him for taking care of her and for not letting her be alone.
Keeping the towel stable on her forehead, to decrease the headache that she was feeling, he told her not to be afraid as she was never going to be alone again. Tears cropping up in her eyes as she maintained eye contact with him, she flickered at the sight of him and asked why he was being so nice towards her, Blaze let out a smile on his lips as he raised a question,
“Do you want to know why?”.
At the hearing of his question, Crystal could feel sweat running down her crest and not being able to talk as her voice had gone pale, she stared at him further thinking about what he had said to her the previous night.
With a feeling of weakness, she told Blase not to put her in a more complicated situation than the one she was facing already but after he got up from the couch and went closer to her, his gaze became sentimental and she could observe the glints that were glossy in them.
” Is there anything wrong for me to tell you how I feel about you?”, Blaze asked letting his breath caress her skin while he rubbed her hands against his. Crystal did bit know what was going on with her but her body suddenly seemed to have lost control over the situation and her mind was beginning to think of unknown things.
Closing her eyes in the warmth of his hands fused with hers, her breath had changed its rhythm and tears began to run down her eyes.
“You do not need to fight what you are feeling for me Crystal as I can tell that you are dying to bring into the world all the affection that you carry inside of you though you want to prove the contrary”, he muttered realizing how much his words were affecting her.
” I can not consummate this love which you offer to me Blake and you know the reasons for it, so please do not make things more difficult for me”, her lips trembled in fear as she could not look at him again. Taking advantage of the fact that her whole being was in mayhem, Blaze stepped down from the bed and walked away from her.
“He must be angry because of what I said”, she murmured inside of her, and without thinking, she took off the wet towel that was on her forehead and went out of bed suddenly without taking into consideration her state of health, she slumped to the ground and feeling the pain as her foot hit the bottom hard, she screamed out.
Attracted to finger voice, Blaze’s heart was in panic and veering around almost as soon as he had given attention to her voice, he was shocked as he caught sight of her On the floor.
” How did you fall, and what were you thinking in your head?”, Crystal could feel the anger in his voice as he yelled out at her and lowered her gaze, she could feel his hands going around her waist, and without any dash, he lifted her from the floor and laid her down on the bed.
“You need to be careful next time or else you might injure yourself”, he said fixing the pillow under her head and telling her to indicate where she had hurt herself so that he could rub it before it got swollen but she was lost in his cuteness and the fragrance from his body was a turn off for her.
Her lips yearned for him to lay a kiss on them but her mouth was too heavy to say anything shouts which she wanted. Noticing the way she was staring at him, Blaze told her to either decide to ask for what was going on in her mind or rather close her mouth as flies could be seen going and coming out of it. Crystal felt shame after listening to him say those words to her and making an effort to get even with him, she told him that she was not thinking about anything and her mouth was not open.
” I see that you are a good liar apart from being a crybaby”, he teased her even further and Crystal taking offense to that told him not to call her that again.
“If you were not fantasizing about me as you say, then can you tell me why your eyes were glued to my skin and your mouth wide open?”.
” I was just thinking about something else”.
“I guess it is not about your uncle because I am going to take care of him myself for doing all this to someone he is supposed to protect”, his words fell out of his mouth and the tension In his face could be seen as he talked about the issue.
Not feeling comfortable about it, Crystal lifted her left hand and lay it on his face she told him not to bother as it was her fight to do but Blaze in total disagreement with what she was saying, explained to her the dangers that were involved if she expected to face him head down alone.
” A man who cares about you, will not do all the things he did to you just because of something that does not even belong to him in the first place”.
“But he is still my uncle can’t you understand that?”, she asked.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Taking a look at her, he held her hands and said,
” Wake up from your sleep and smell the coffee Crystal, that man put you through a traumatic experience, and before you say anything else, you were scared to the core yesterday and that is the reason why you had to sleep in my room”.
“I was?”, she asked in a state of confusion, as she looked around and noticed that she was not in the room that she went to sleep in last night.
