Chapter 47
Swallowing the lump of saliva that gave birth to a painful throat, she lowered her gaze and said,
” I want to ask whether you can let me and Gina stay here for some time till I sort myself out, and also I need a cell phone and a good lawyer”, she spoke out.
Blaze feeling happy that she had decided to come to him in her troubled state, told her that her request was granted and added that if she needed something else she should say it.
Crystal was delighted to know that he was so nice and was willing to help her. Blaze looked at her with so many concerns in his mind but did not want to pester her with them as he wanted her to speak up when she was ready.
“I know that you have a lot of questions in your mind, but I promise you that I will answer all of them and I also want to tell you that I am not a bad person Blaze”, she spoke up feeling guilty of all the things we had done as Blaze letting out a smile, said that he is aware of that and that is why he never called the police on her or even made an effort to take her to the men that she had robbed before.
” You have to go to your room and get a shower and after that, you can come downstairs with Gina so that we all can have our dinner”, Blaze spoke out in a calm voice. Telling Crystal that one of his maids was going to show her to her room, he rose to his feet, extending himself to her and asking her to get up from the bed.
“Thanks for every time”, she said while taking his hand.
Blaze smiled at her and telling her not to mention, he called out on the maid that he had assigned to fix her room to come to show her the way leading to it. Crystal was glad to know that she could count on someone, though it was a person that she had hurt he was still willing to be of help to her.
The day had been a long one and Crystal had retired to her section, closing the door behind her and sauntering around the room, she loved the fragrance that was in there and the curtains as well as the decor.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
The first time that she had set foot into that Mansion, she had no time to admire its beauty as she was on a mission to steal from its owner but today, she was there a refugee seeking shelter in that same house that she had come before but with a dirty motive.
Touching the flower that was placed in a vase that stood on the startable lowered her head, and with her face being the part to go closer to the flower to give way for her nostrils to inhale the sweetness of its flavor, she breath in the smell of the flowers in the vase, feeling so happy and peaceful.
Just as she was still busy with the things in her new and temporal room, a knock went out on her door and she turned almost immediately that she had heard the sound, still having the souvenirs of what had happy to pass to her before her own house.
” Who is there?”, Crystal spoke out with an audible voice clear enough for even a baby to understand her and Gina identified herself.
She instantly went to get the door, asking whether there was any problem or if something had gone on but Gina catching a glimpse of the fear in her eyes and the trembling in her hands, went inside her room and told her not to be afraid as there was no problem.
Crystal noticed that she was holding something in her hands in plastic bags so she raised a question wanting to know what Gina was wearing out a smile, and told her that they were outfits that were brought and the maid had handed them over to her to give to her Mistress.
Crystal took them and opening the bags, she saw some clothes and slippers that she could use while staying there. Telling Gina to get hers so as not to remain in the main dress, she said that hers had already been given to her.
“I wonder how he did it, but all these are our sizes Ms. Crystal”, Gina said. Crystal convinced her to go take her bath and get changed, Gina smiled at her and left the room for hers and Crystal keyed the door again.
“Thank you Blaze for your kindness”, she said with tears in her eyes. It has been a long and sad day and all she yearned for was to close her eyes and wake you know that all this is a dream.
Making her into the bathroom, she entered and looked around, she smiled at how clean and beautiful it was. The shower had two buttons as usual and she turned to the bathtub that had the same as well.
extending her right hand to the bathtub, she opened the tap and let the hot water flow out, she equally opened the cold side too letting the blend give her the perfect mixture that she needed. Standing by the bathtub was a liquid froth that was used to mix into the water to get a foamy mixture.
She picked up the container and unfasten it, she could perceive the sweet smell coming out of it and it was so pleasant. With a smile on her lips, she turned the bottle upside down, making its contents run out of it into the water while she used her right hand to shake it off to get the bubbles that she liked seeing.
Crystal had decided not to use the shower as she needed to sit in the bathtub for a while while the water got into her skin, reminding her of how human she was. She felt like her humanity was being taken away from her as the previous days have been hell and she had not taken a proper bath not had a proper meal.
Taking off her maid clothes, she looked at the water as though it was going to purify her from all the bad things she had been through those last few days, and with a deep breath, she stepped her foot into the water like a child that was testing the temperature of the liquid before getting ready to get inside.
Letting her whole body into the bathtub, she felt relieved as to how soothing the geyser Was, and sinking into it for a few seconds, she made bubbles with her mouth while being underneath the water.
” I want everything to be perfect and the dishes to be served right away”, Blaze instructed his maids, and asking them to take out the most expensive wine to the table, he asked whether anything was lacking and they said no.
Leaving the kitchen, he smiled at them and his maids were very surprised about their boss’s good mood the other said that it became of the latter that came into the house in an unconscious state while the other talked about how beautiful and innocent she looked even in her pain and discomfort.
Gina was in her room and she could not stop thinking about how Max’s greed had made him do something like this to his blood.
Crystal had just sat in the bathtub and not doing anything, her tears flowed down her eyes and she imagined everything that she had left back at the mansion including all of her parents pictures. It was cruel not to have even a picture of them but it was going to be temporal as she was going to make him pay for everything that he had done to her.
Smashing bottles, his friends held him as he was asked to stop but Nathan was in a mad rage that he had seen his whole future being destroyed before his very own eyes and he could not tolerate it.
“How could she do this to me?”, he yelled out making so much noise while drinking hard from the bottles.
” Calm down Nathan, drinking like this won’t solve anything you know, rather you will just get wasted”, one of his friends spoke out hoping to calm him down but he was bent on letting out all of his anger.
Another looking at the situation asked Nathan a straightforward question that made others pause for a moment including himself.
“You said that the lady in question us been forcefully given out for marriage right if you were in your shows wouldn’t you have done the same thing as she did?”.
” Yeah you are correct you know, it was the logical thing for her to do given the fact that she did not want to get married”, another confirmed it.
Nathan feeling more miserable than he was already, yelled out at them saying that it was his turn to shine and no one would stop him.
“If I have to get out there to search for that Crystal girl myself, then I will”.
Knock paid attention to the door and her name was been heard too.
Maintaining some silence, she listened to the sound that had gone out on the door and listening to it again, she asked who it was from the bathroom and a spoke from outside saying that they should be downstairs as the table was set.
Crystal thanked her and she could give attention to the lady walking out of the door. She had to start bathing to get out of the bathroom to join the others. Her stomach was already making some sounds like a hungry lion.
Her body was sifted and nice and her face hurt a little but not much. She pressed the emptied button and taking out all of the soapy water, she decided to fill it up with so one clean one to rinse herself up.
