Chapter 26
Using the back of her hands to wipe off her tears, she told Blaze that she just come there for the balance as she had noticed that the briefcase she had taken did not have the money.
Blaze listening to her carefully asked heat made her so certain that she was going to live with the money alive from his house but Crystal did not answer that.
“I can hear a young girl who does not love the kind of life she is living but is forced to do so just to fulfill certain conditions, so will you like to share your burden with me?”, he asked again, but this time walking towards her.
Crystal feeling his breath on her as he approached her slowly, walked to the other side of the office telling him to fix an appointment so that they could ain’t down and talk properly as she was in his office.
Blaze smiled and responded to her worries as he told her not to worry about a thing.
“This is my office and I am the boss, I can choose to do whatever like here and no one will enter here as long as I have not given the go signal for them to do so”, he explained telling Crystal to sit down.
Crystal was aware of the repercussions that would take place on her and her Uncle if she decided to talk so she had to look for another excuse to be able to leave Blaze’s office.
” I am alright, I just had a headache it happened most of the “, Crystal let out looking at three other sides of the office as she avoided Blaze’s eye contact.
Blaze could tell that she was lying so he asked another question that made her more uncomfortable.
” Why are you so bent on taking the money, though it might cost your life?”.
That question alone made Crystal realize that she has been playing a dangerous game and it could cost her someday.
Raising her eyes and looking at Blaze, she asked what he meant by that with a small voice.
Blaze could see the fear and pain in Crystal’s eyes when he said that, and he tried taking back what he said but he could not find the right words to. remedy the situation is he spoke out.
“I have always heard stories about a pretty girl who goes after rich men to ransack their money and makes off with it”, Blaze spoke as calmly as possible so as not to freak her out.
Yet, it was too late as Crystal was already shaking out of fear after what she had just heard.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Crystal weeping painfully trembling like a leaf that has been plucked from its urinal stem asked Blaze what he meant by that.
Crystal was fully aware that those men she always knocked over could be very angry and wanted her to pay for her deeds but the way Blaze was talking, it seemed like they could be looking for her head.
“He just wants to play with your head Crystal”, a voice spoke in her and she held her dress with a tight fist wondering why Blaze will be so good to her all of a sudden when he raped her without any pity.
Blaze had realized that she was silent and that was not good for him as she might be thinking of something else.
“I may protect you, Crystal, only if you tell me the truth, I want to know about everything”, Blaze spoke out waiting for her to start talking.
Crystal was beginning to sense something fishy as Blaze’s goodness was becoming alarming and she was not liking it at all.
Thinking of a way to create a distraction to get out of his office as she did not believe in those words of his, she decided to rise on her feet and walk around the office while looking at Blaze with a frightening stare” You want me to tell you the truth right Mr. Blaze?”, Crystal asked with a serious face and a more deep voice.
Blaze answered positively to her question knowing that, his words had finally had outcomes on her and she was ready to say who was the bar behind her operations as she could not be doing that all by herself.
Crystal having Blaze’s full attention, asked,
“Why did you do it?”.
Blaze was lost for some seconds as he could not understand what she meant by that as that was not the answer to his questions.
Wiping his eyes, as though he was listening to her but with them, he arranged himself on the couch, folding the sleeve of his left-hand shirt with the help of his right hand and he answered Crystal’s question with his own,
” What do you mean by why did you do it?”, he raised a question confused as her question did not have its place in what he was asking.
Crystal was slowly regaining herself and the purpose for which she had come to Blaze’s office as she walked closer to him asking,
“Why did you have to play dirty by replacing the money in the suitcase with papers cut like cash?”, Crystal raised her voice and Blaze then understood that, she was not joking about her question and that she was off his Clasps.
Georgia had been crying on her bed expecting that her friend would finally call her back after seeing the number of calls she had left on her cell phone, but it did not happen and she had no idea that Crystal too was faced with a difficult situation.
Uncle Max who was alone in his office began to reflect on the idea that his friend Bassey had advised him to do and he was not pleased with it but if that was going to be a ticket for his niece to get out of the way of him enjoying the wealth and affluence that he was living in, then h to was ready to take the risk.
Blaze pretending like he had no idea about what Crystal was babbling about, asked her whether she was okay as she came off a little bit disturbed.
Crystal getting more furious, asked him if he was by any chance saying that she was eccentric as she was fully aware that he could understand what she was saying but behaved like he did not.
“I know for a fact that you were conscious when it all happened and you are very much conscious now as well, so why playing dumb?”, Crustal fired on him with questions.
“I think that the headache you have is making you talk rubbish so I suggest that you go home”, Blaze spoke out walking to his seat behind his table and staring at Crystal in fulfillment, he fixed the collar of his shirt and sat down.
Crystal could not believe that her moment of emotions had made her so weak in Blaze’s eyes, and she thought of something to shake him off so that he could realize that she was serious.
Blaze, who had relatively opened a file and was impersonating to concentrate on it, did not expect what he saw seconds into Crystal’s reaction as he thought that he was in his office with a man woman.
” You do not know what I am talking about huh?”, she asked scattering his office table and pushing down all of the files that were on it.
Blaze was shocked by what had just happened that he was left dumped bringing up with anger and his eyes slowly became red as he looked at Crystal.
“What on earth did you just do that for you crazy woman?”, he yelled out in anger as he got up from his seat squeezing his hands as he walked towards her.
Crystal who was frightened did not give up as she said,
” Do you want to know what a crazy woman looks like?”, she asked walking to his shelves and pushing the books and magazines on it down.
Crystal blamed him for what had happened to her that night and how he raped her without any empathy for her, slurring what she might have felt after waking up to such an awful scene.
Blaze was beginning to understand what her biggest frustration was with what she thought had happened to her,
“If only you knew what I felt that night, having a thief like you in my bed and feeling your sweet tender body close to mine”, Blaze said knowing that it was going to make her more furious.
Crystal could not believe that he had said that, so she walked closer to him mad landed a hot slap on his cheek.
” Do you even have an idea of what you did, do you know that you took away my pride and joy as a woman without an iota of shame?”, Crystal grabbed his shirt like someone who wants a fight.
Blaze was the only person who had an idea about what had happened that fateful night, and he wanted her to feel the pain of what she had been doing to others as the thought alone of losing her virginity without any consciousness, was enough to hurt her for life.
Crystal scattered everything in his office and with the madness that had gotten into her head, she picked up his laptop on the table, threatening to smash it on the ground.
Blaze opened his eyes in disbelief at what he was seeing and he then realized that, if he did not do something quick about the situation, then Crystal was going to destroy the pieces of information in his laptop.
“If you do not drop that laptop now, I will call the police on you”, Blaze mumbled hoping to scare Crystal so she would be back to her senses, but Crystal was hell-bent on making things difficult for Blaze.
” I do not care if you have your life information in here, just know that I am going to make life a living hell for you in this city”, Crustal was not bluffing about the world she said.
