"Who are you, and what do you mean by my wife has been captured?" Lucian roared in an angry voice as he stood up in a go."About who I am, I don't think that is important at the moment, but you should action immediately before they can go far. If anything happened to Krystie, trust me Lucian, I would never forgive you," an angry voice thundered at the other end of the call before it was immediately hung up."Ronnie, prepare the car immediately, and get some of our men," Lucian roared over the phone, as he immediately checked a notification on his phone."Regal Avenue. In ten minutes." The notification that had popped on Lucian's phone read.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Who are you, and what exactly do you want," the car tires screeched to a halt in the middle of a deserted road, just off the main city."Who I am is not very important right now. I want the girl," the middle-aged man spoke as he stood before the van."Who do you think you are young man, if I may advise you, you should kind your ow
"Krystie, do you by any chance have any idea who is the person who rescued you, I have been trying to find him but I can't place exactly who the person is?" Lucian asked when he couldn't contain his curiosity any longer.Even though Krystie was unconscious by then, Lucian could not help but ask, it was already a week ever since the incident yet there was not a single person who had gone forward to claim they did it, after all in his world no one does a thing for free, they would either demand fit one or two things at the end."No, no one that I know as of the moment," Krystie replied hurriedly and walked away, she was not so good at lying and she was afraid she would be found out if she were to stay a single second.Krystie could remember very well the face of the guy who had rescued her from the kidnappers, she had just regained her consciousness as soon as the van had halted in the middle of the road, and she had thought they were involved in an accident, but that was until she hear
"Your husband Lucian was the lawyer who defended your father's killer seven years ago, and even your sister Chloe is aware of it." The notification read. Krystie drove all the way home, her heart racing, sweat dripping down her face. Krystie had only one hope as she drove to her house, she was hoping against hope that all this was not the truth, she could already feel her heart shattering into a million pieces, imagining how betrayed she would feel as a result. Krystie's heart pounded as she sifted through the old newspaper clippings she had found on her house's notice board. With trembling hands, she unfolded an article dated seven years ago, the headline blaring the name of the man who had shattered her world: "Local Lawyer Secures Acquittal for Murderer." Her eyes widened in disbelief as she read the name beneath the headline, Lucian Wilson, her husband. A wave of nausea washed over her, and she stumbled backward, collapsing onto a nearby chair. "How could this be? Luc
"Krystie... Krystie, please don't leave me, I am very sorry," Lucian only called to the disappearing silhouette, but that was until he heard the shutting of the door did it finally occurred to him that she had left, yes, his wife had left him all alone, just because of what happened in the past many years.Frustrated, Lucian swiped the bowls of food across the room sending the meals crashing all over the room, with soup covering the whole floor, he was so angry, angry with himself, angry with everything that happened seven years ago, and finally, he stumbled and sat on the floor.~~~~~~~~~~~"Lucian, it has already been a month yet you have never been to the company, don't you think that it is high time that you move on, she's gone, and will never come back again," Ronnie tried to convince a drunk Lucian, he had been drinking for two weeks now. Ever since Krystie left him that day he had never been to his house, always sleeping in the bar, he was so shabby that one might easily mistak
The sunlight rays gently filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the disorganized bed where two figures could be seen lying next to each other, hugging each other, completely naked only that they were covered with a duvet. The distant hum of city life served as a gentle wake-up call to the lady as she stretched her arms and opened her eyes, the subtle aroma of fresh coffee wafted in from the hotel's breakfast area, enticing her to start the new day. Krystie stretched out, she was feeling her body hurting, she hadn't given a thought of what could be the reason, she had thought that maybe all this was because of the long day that she had the previous, but all that was only until everything settled in in her mind did she finally rose in a sudden, but her weak legs gave in that she ended up falling back on the bed with a thud. Krystie was shocked to find a handsome young man sleeping right beside her, his face very calm and pale yet dangerous at a closer glance, she was n
Krystie hurriedly walked to the stairs, she was feeling so stupid for everything that had happened, she didn't want to think of what had happened, of course, she could vividly remember everything that had happened last night.Krystie could clearly remember how she had ended up on a stranger's bed, it was only because of her stupidity, which had resulted in her losing her one most precious thing and dignity, but good thing she didn't regret, at least she had given her first night to a stranger than that jerk who had betrayed her, and as if to worsen the situation he had played her with her friend, best friend, Cassandra! [Flashback]Krystie was feeling super excited to go and see her fiancee, it had been a long time since she had seen him. She had always been so busy with several shifts at work that she had not gotten any time to go and hang out with him, and since she was already done with all the shifts after she had overworked herself and pilled several shifts to get time to hang ou
Later in the evening, Chloe had suggested to Krystie that maybe they should go out and enjoy the night out, and of course, Krystie was not a fool to not have realized that she was doing all this just for her, she wanted her to feel better from the betrayal and she appreciated it in her mind because she needed it. Krystie and Chloe had gone to the hotel but their major interest was in the bar region, and that's exactly where they had headed, Krystie wanted to drown all that she was feeling inside, all her pains and sorrows all which had resulted from the two people she used to trust. Chloe, Krystie's twin was all along beside her, and it was such a surprising thing that today she was the one who had asked Krystie to go out, because normally it is always Krystie who convinces her to go out at times whenever she feels like she needs it, and most always than never Chloe would always reject her because of the two she is the workaholic that would at times carry some of her works home to d
"Hey, please help me, I beg you, just play along and I will pay you, I promise, with anything that you would want from me! "Krystie had approached the man, but she had made sure she was low enough to speak so that no one heard what she had spoken to him, she wanted to hurt Alex too, not because she wanted to get him back but because she wanted him to see that she was no longer the naive innocent sweet girl that he was used, she wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine. The young man had initially looked at Krystie not quite comprehending what she was up to or what exactly she wanted from him, all his life Lucian had always felt disgusted with the ladies who were always making a move on him because he knew none of them liked him but they were just interested in his identity and wealth.Initially, Lucian would have pushed the lady away but when he saw three pairs of eyes staring at him from behind her, two with shock while one with quite an unfathomable expression, it dawned on
